석유와 같은 화석연료는 $CO_2$의 방출로 인해 지구 온난화의 원인이 되고, 그 매장량 또한 한정되어 있다. 따라서 대체에너지에 관한 관심이 증대 되고 있고 이러한 대체 에너지 중 식물성 오일은 환경 친화적이며 재생산이 가능한 에너지원으로 기존의 고효율의 디젤유와 유사한 특성을 가지고 있다. 또한 식물성 오일은 $CO_2$방출에 의한 지구 온난화 문제를 줄일 수 있는 방법중의 하나로도 잘 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 곡물가격 상승과 식량자원 부족문제를 해결하기 위하여 폐식용유를 사용하였다. $15{\mu}m$구멍 입경을 갖는 시브를 사용하여 폐식용유(WVO)로부터 불순물과 침전물을 제거 한 후 Homo-mixer를 사용하여 5000rpm에서 10분간 디젤유와 혼합하였다. WVO와 디젤 블렌딩 용액의 요오드가(Iodine Value)와 점도 변화를 조사한 후 최종적으로 디젤 엔진에 적용결과 엔진구동에 가능성이 있음을 확인 하였다.

The investigation of clean and environment-friendly coal utilization technology is actively progressed due to high oil price and serious climate change caused by greenhouse gas emissions. In this study, the plasma gasification was performed using a 6kW microwave plasma unit under various reaction conditions: the particle sizes of coal ($45{\mu}m-150{\mu}m$), $O_2$/fuel ratio (0 - 1.3), and steam/fuel ratio (0 - 1.5). The $H_2$ composition decreases with decreasing coal particle size. With increasing $O_2$/fuel ratio, the $H_2$ composition in the syngas decreased while the $CO_2$ composition increased. As the steam/fuel ratio increased from 0 to 1.5, the $H_2$ composition in the syngas increased while the $CO_2$ composition decreased. From the results, it was proven that the variation of syngas composition greatly affected by $O_2$/fuel ratio than steam/fuel ratio. The $H_2$ composition in the syngas, carbon conversion, and cold gas efficiency increased with increasing plasma power.

The cost percentage of engine part in the total building cost of a ship is about 30-40% and the main engine occupies about 50% of the engine part cost. For certain ships the fuel bill can be as high as about 60-70% of the total operating cost after two oil shocks and its amount for one year is nearly equivalent to her main engine price. This fact has further increased the pressure on the engine builders to develop engines of higher efficiency and better possibilities to burn further deteriorated fuel qualities. But the energy-saving plants are ordinarily more expensive and their available amount of exhaust gas energy is less and therefore, they are not always profitable and optimum systems. This paper is prepared to decide the most economical and efficient engine systems by presenting reasonable selecting and economical evaluation methods of the main engine, which is the largest single unit and the most expensive, and its auxiliaries. In order to demonstrate the application of investigated methods in a practical case, a 46, 000 DWT class bulk carrier is selected as a model ship and her main engine and its auxiliaries are selected and evaluated. The result shows that the optimum determined has one year three months POP, 0.903 IRR at a year, 4, 116, 000 dollars PW in 15 years (for 5% escalation rate of fuel cost) and 9.522 BCR for same condition, when the engine plant of a same existing ship is taken as the basis.

Recently, with oil price jumping and environmental issues, Green ship is paid deep attention to by ship owner, operator, builder, class and government. Fuel efficiency and reduction of $CO_2$ emissions are expected to have a strong influence on the design and operation of merchant ships. Many ship owners and operators are seeking the more economic method by the best operating route and the application of reliable and effective energy saving devices. With the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) in 2013 attention will more than ever be focused at achieving maximum fuel economy in the hydrodynamic design of hull forms, their appendages and propellers. IMO requirements for $CO_2$ emission for ships will now be implemented for vessels ordered from 1st January 2013. So far, a lot of new idea and patents have been proposed, tested, claimed and applied for various kinds of ship type. This paper shows numerical and experimental work related to a study on a energy saving devices particularly for fuller ship such as merchant vessel of Tanker and Bulker. From the bare hull wake measurements, typical upper/lower asymmetry of hull wake at the propeller disk was found. The pre-swirl duct have been designed and reviewed to recover the loss of propeller running in that condition. The general function of the pre-swirl duct was set to work against this asymmetry of wake and generate pre-swirled flow into the propeller against the propeller rotating direction.

최근 화석연료의 고갈, 지구온난화 그리고 환경오염이 세계적인 공공의 문제로 대두됨으로써 신재생에너지에 관한 연구들이 많이 진행되고 있다. 이러한 신재생에너지들 중 바이오연료는 다루기 쉬울 뿐만 아니라, 낮은 가격과 풍부한 자원성이 미래에 화석연료를 대체할 수 있는 잠재성을 가지고 있다. 바이오연료 중 본 연구에서 사용한 급속 열분해유는 폐목재나 억새, 갈대와 같은 비식용작물에서부터 추출되었고, 이는 무한한 자원성 때문에 디젤엔진에서 디젤유를 대체할 신재생에너지로 주목받고 있다. 하지만 열분해유는 낮은 세탄가, 높은 점도, 높은 산도 그리고 낮은 발열량으로 인해 디젤엔진에 직접적으로 적용하기가 어렵다. 따라서 이러한 낮은 물질적 특성을 개선하기 위해서 본 연구에서는 에탄올과 같은 알코올계 연료와 혼합하여 투입하였다. 알코올계 연료인 에탄올이 열분해유의 저장 및 보관성에도 도움을 줄뿐 아니라 점도를 낮춰주어 엔진에 적용하기 수월하게 만들기 때문이다. 열분해유-에탄올 혼합연료를 파일럿 분사한 디젤유 이후 분사하여 연소시켜 이때의 연소 및 배기특성에 대해 고찰해 보았고, 그 결과로 미연탄화수소와 일산화탄소는 증가하는 경향을 띄지만 NOx와 PM이 현저히 줄어든 결과를 확인할 수 있었다.

High oil price and global warming problem are being continued all over the world. For this reason, fuel economy and emission of greenhouse gas are regulated by law in many countries. Therefore many companies are researching and producing hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) which substitute conventional internal combustion engine vehicle. However, these researches and productions are restricted to mainly passenger cars. Because of cost and physical problems, commercial vehicles are difficult to evaluate fuel economy. So simulations are important and it is necessary to know how sensitive parameters that enter into simulation affect. In this paper, forward simulations using AVL Cruise were conducted for analysis of fuel economy for parallel hybrid bus and were repeated by changing each parameter. Based on these results, root mean square errors (RMSE) are calculated for analysis of fuel economy sensitivity. The number of target parameters are 15. These parameters were classified with high and low sensitivity parameter relatively.

The climate change due to the increased consumption with fossil fuel and rise of the oil price have been serious global issues. Automobile industry consumes 30% of the oil every year and causes air pollution and global warming by the exhaust emissions and carbon dioxide ($CO_2$). The demand of two-wheeled vehicle increases every year due to the parking and traffic problem caused by the increased automobiles in the urban area. Approximately 50,000,000 two-wheeled vehicles were produced in 2008. The development and sales of the hybrid two-wheeled vehicle industry become active due to its increased market demands. In this paper, the change of the motor and battery efficiency, driving distance, hill climbing ability with the change of the motor capacity was analyzed. Simulation of the peculiarities in urban driving schedule(World-wide Motorcycle Test Cycle(WMTC), Manhattan driving schedule), constant speed(10 km/h, 35 km/h) of small electronic two-wheeled vehicle was also carried out. Through the simulation result, appropriate capacities of the motor and battery for urban driving was acquired.

In an effort to cope with recent high oil price and global warming, developments of air lubricated ships have been pursued to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to save fuel costs by reducing the frictional resistance. In this study, reduction in the frictional resistance by air lubrication with air layers generated on the lower surface of a flat plate was investigated experimentally in the large water tunnel of SSMB. The generated air layers were observed, and changes in the local frictional drag were measured at various flow rates of injected air. The results indicated that air lubrication with air layers might be useful in reducing the frictional resistance at specific conditions of air injection. Accordingly, resistance and self-propulsion tests for a 66K DWT bulk carrier were carried out in the towing tank of SSMB to estimate the expected net power savings.
