The world faces several issues of energy crisis and environmental deterioration due to over-dependence on single source of which is fossil fuel. Though, fuel is needed as ingredients for industrial development and growth of any country, however the fossil fuel which is a major source of energy for this purpose has always been terrifying thus the need for alternative and renewable energy sources. The search for alternative energy sources resulted into the acceptance of a biofuel as a reliable alternative energy source. This work presents the study of optimization of process of transesterification of vegetable oil to biodiesel using NaOH as catalyst. A $2^4$ factorial design method was employed to investigate the influence of ratio of oil to methanol, temperature, NaOH concentration, and transesterification time on the yield of biodiesel from vegetable oil. Low and high levels of the key factors considered were 4:1 and 6:1 mole ratio, 30 and $60^{\circ}C$ temperatures, 0.5 and 1.0 wt% catalyst concentration, and 30 and 60 min reaction time. Results obtained revealed that oil to methanol molar ratio of 6:1, tranesetrification temperature of $60^{\circ}C$, catalyst concentration of 1.0wt % and reaction time of 30 min are the best operating conditions for the optimum yield of biofuel from vegetable oil, with optimum yield of 95.8%. Results obtained on the characterizzation of the produced biodiesel indicate that the specific gravity, cloud point, flash point, sulphur content, viscosity, diesel index, centane number, acid value, free glycerine, total glycerine and total recovery are 0.8899, 4, 13, 0.0087%, 4.83, 25, 54.6. 0.228mgKOH/g, 0.018, 0.23% and 96% respectively. Results also indicate that the qualities of the biodiesel tested for are in conformity with the set standard. A model equation was developed based on the results obtained using a statistical tool. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) of data shows that mole ratio of ground nut oil to methanol and transesterification time have the most pronounced effect on the biodiesel yield with contributions of 55.06% and 9.22% respectively. It can be inferred from the results various conducted that vegetable oil locally produced from groundnut oil can be utilized as a feedstock for biodiesel production.

본 연구에서는 석유 정제 부산물인 석유계 잔사유를 이용하여 리튬이차전지용 음극재를 제조하였다. 석유계 잔사유 중 열분해 연료유(pyrolysis fuel oil, PFO), 유동접촉분해 데칸트 오일(fluidized catalyst cracking-decant oil, FCC-DO), 감압잔사유(vacuum residue, VR)를 탄소 전구체로 사용하였다. MALDI-TOF, 원소분석(EA)을 통하여 석유계 잔사유의 물리화학적 특징을 확인하였고, 잔사유로부터 제조된 음극재는 XRD, Raman 등의 분석을 통해 그 구조적 특징을 평가하였다. VR은 PFO 및 FCC-DO에 비하여 광범위한 분자량 분포와 많은 양의 불순물을 함유하는 것을 확인할 수 있었고, PFO와 FCC-DO는 거의 유사한 물리화학적 특징을 나타내었다. XRD 분석결과로부터 탄화된 PFO와 FCC-DO는 유사한 d₀₀₂값을 나타내었다. 그러나 Lc 및 La값에서는 FCC-DO가 PFO보다 더 발달된 층상구조를 갖는 것으로 확인되었다. 또한, 전기화학적 특성 평가에서는 FCC-DO가 가장 우수한 사이클 특성을 나타내었다. 이러한 석유계 잔사유의 물리화학적, 전기화학적 결과로 미루어 보아 FCC-DO가 PFO와 VR보다 더 우수한 리튬이차전지용 탄소 전구체인 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구는 에멀젼 연료의 특성과 배출가스에 관하여 연구하였다. 엔진 배출가스 측정은 엔진 dinamometer로 실시하였다. 유화연료는 연소실내에서 미세폭발을 일으켜 연료를 잘게 쪼개어 주어 smoke를 감소시킨다. 그리고 물이 연소실내의 기화열을 빼앗아 연소실 내부의 온도를 낮추어 NOx 생성을 억제하는 효과를 갖는다. ND-13모드의 각 모드별 배출가스온도가 MDO에 비해 유화연료를 사용했을 때 낮게 나온 것으로 뒷받침 될 수 있었다. 유화연료의 함수율이 증가함에 따라 NOx와 smoke의 배출량은 줄어들었으며, 출력도 함수율 증가에 따라 유화연료 자체의 발열량 감소로 인하여 줄어든 것으로 판단된다. ND-13모드에서 MDO 유화연료를 시험결과 함수율 17% 유화연료의 NOx 감소량은 약 24%, smoke의 총감소량은 약 73%, $SO_2$ 감소량은 약 11%, 그리고 약 13%의 출력손실을 확인하였다.

In this paper, the streaming electrification characteristics of insulating oil were examined when the oil is contacted with solid materials in a circulating system. The streaming current($I_s$) increases with increasing oil velocity and temperature, and electrification properties depend on species of metal materials. $I_s$ in the gauze-contained electrification apparatus increases with increasing oil temperature below the temperature of 43[>$^{\circ}C$], but decreases above 43[>$^{\circ}C$]. On the other hand, $I_s$ is positive electrificated for the pipe of Fe, Cu, while it is negative electrificated for Sus. When insulating oil flows through a car fuel filter, $I_s$ increases linearly with increasing oil temperature.

Recently, lots of researchers have been attracted to develop various alternative fuels in diesel engine. The use of biodiesel fuel(BDF) is an effective way of substituting diesel fuel in the long run. But biodiesel fuel can affect the performance and emissions in diesel engine because it has different chemical and physical properties from diesel fuel. In this study, to investigate the combustion characteristics of biodiesel fuel as an alternative fuel for D.I. diesel engine, experiments were carried out at the three-cylinder, four stroke D.I. diesel engine with T/C. As a result, shorter ignition delays were observed for the biodiesel blend cases relative to the diesel oil. The pick value of premixed combustion for the rate of heat release is increased with decreasing C.F.W. temperature.

Combustion phenomenon in diesel engine is mainly governed by characteristics of fuel injection and fuel spray system affected by its dimensions and operating condition. Fuel supply system is consisted of fuel injection pump, high pressure pipe and injection nozzle. In order to develope the more economical diesel fuel injection system, it is in need to carryout the fairly wide range experiments, which is quite impossible. Therefore, theoretical analysis for the numberous parameters is powerful method in this case. In the present study, equations of continuity of fuel oil in fuel injection system are solved to obtain the flow and pressure variation in diesel fuel system affected by injection pump speed, plunger diameter, pipe length and nozzle opening pressure.

This paper reports on the effect of fuel additive friction modifier on the engine friction and fuel consumption. The test of engine friction and fuel consumption is performed for the each oils and fuels. The TFA4724 friction modifier is added in test oil and fuel. The test results show that total engine friction is a decrease of 0.7-2.0% compared with base fuel, and fuel consumption is improved by 0.3%. The amount of friction reduction corresponds to that of boundary friction loss term in ring-pack friction losses. From the results, it is thought that the additive friction modifier in the fuel is effective to reduce the boundary friction in ring-pack.

Plastic product is increasing by the growth of its demand and most of refused plastics are incinerated or reclaimed. However, the refused plastic is not easily decomposed and has the environmental problem with its various toxic gas in case of incineration. Therefore, many countries such as USA, Japan, Germany and other developed industrial countries as well as Korea are interested in studying the recyclable resource of refused plastic. The macromolecular waste pyrolysis has the advantage of collecting of raw materials in high price and can at least get fuel gas or oil with high heat capacity. It also discharges low waste gas and low toxic gas including SOx, NOx and HCl heavy metals. However, pyrolyzed oil includes enough excess unsaturated hydrocarbons to form tar, which can cause the nozzle of engines to plug when pyrolyzed oil is used as fuel. Activated carbon was proven to have prominent adsorption capability among the other adsorbents that were mainly composed of carbon. This study examined the possibility of application in activated charcoal of its solid formation by analysing the feature of pyrolysis which is one of the chemical recycling methods and getting chemical analysis of the product and activated energy. Analyze the element of the oil produced by pyrolysis using GC-MS. The experiment of tar adsorption using fly-ash showed that fly-ash improved the optical intensity of pyrolyzed oil and decreased oxygen compounds in the pyrolyzed oil.

토양정화를 위한 토양 세정 및 세척 공정에서 계면활성제 선택 기준과 가장 중요한 설계인자는 오염물질의 용해도이다. 계면활성제의 오염물질 용해도는 오염물질과 평형상태를 만든 후 Dichrolomethane을 이용한 추출, 증발, 농축 등의 전처리과정을 거쳐야 한다. 따라서 계면활성제 용액 내 유류 오염 물질의 용해도 분석은 많은 시간과 재료를 필요로 한다. 계면장력은 계면활성제용액과 유류오염물질 사이에 유지되는 힘을 지칭하는 것으로 용해도와 밀접한 관계를 가진다. 본 연구는 계면활성제용액과 경유 간 계면장력과 용해도를 측정하여 계면장력과 용해도간 상관관계를 정립하므로 신속한 계면 장력 측정을 통한 용해도를 가늠할 수 있는 방안을 제시하였다. 계면장력과 유류용해도간 상관관계를 평가한 결과 두 특성은 기하급수적인 반비례관계를 보였다. 즉, 계면장력이 5 dyne/cm 이상조건에서 경유의 용해도는 크게 차이를 보이지 않다가 1 dyne/cm 이하에서 경유의 용해도는 급격하게 증가하였다. 앞으로 계면활성제용액 간 계면장력을 우선적으로 측정해 본다면 토양정화에 적합한 계면활성제 종류 및 농도를 매우 신속하고 효율적으로 선택할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
