IT-SOFC(중저온형 고체산화물 연료전지)의 공기극으로 적합한 PSCF3737의 물질 특성을 파악하고 그 특성을 이용하여 낮은 ASR을 갖기 위한 소결 온도 및 두께 최적화에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 분말 사이즈 및 상형성을 고려할 때 GNP 방법으로 합성된 분말의 하소 온도는 $1000^{\circ}C$가 적합함을 알 수 있었다. 산소 분압에 따른 ASR 변화 실험을 통하여 PSCF3737의 저항 성분을 전극 자체의 특성과 관련된 중간 주파수 대역(${\sim}10^2Hz$)과 산소의 확산에 영향 받는 낮은 주파수 대역(${\sim}10^{-1}Hz$) 2가지로 분류할 수 있었다. 공기극의 특성 실험을 통하여 소결 온도는 $1200^{\circ}C$가 가장 적합하며 공기극의 두께는 2번 스크린 프린팅 된 $27\;{\mu}m$가 가장 적합함을 알 수 있었다. 이를 토대로 EIS 측정을 하면 $700^{\circ}C$에서 $0.115\;{\Omega}cm^2$의 낮은 ASR값을 얻을 수 있었다.

This article reviews the papers published in the Korean Journal of Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Engineering during 2016. It is intended to understand the status of current research in the areas of heating, cooling, ventilation, sanitation, and indoor environments of buildings and plant facilities. Conclusions are as follows. (1) The research works on the thermal and fluid engineering have been reviewed as groups of flow, heat and mass transfer, the reduction of pollutant exhaust gas, cooling and heating, the renewable energy system and the flow around buildings. CFD schemes were used more for all research areas.

Researches on heat transfer characteristics included the results of the long-term performance variation of the plate-type enthalpy exchange element made of paper, design optimization of an extruded-type cooling structure for reducing the weight of LED street lights, and hot plate welding of thermoplastic elastomer packing. In the area of pool boiling and condensing, the heat transfer characteristics of a finned-tube heat exchanger in a PCM (phase change material) thermal energy storage system, influence of flow boiling heat transfer on fouling phenomenon in nanofluids, and PCM at the simultaneous charging and discharging condition were studied. In the area of industrial heat exchangers, one-dimensional flow network model and porous-media model, and R245fa in a plate-shell heat exchanger were studied.

This article reviews the papers published in the Korean Journal of Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Engineering during 2008. It is intended to understand the status of current research in the areas of heating, cooling, ventilation, sanitation, and indoor environments of buildings and plant facilities. Conclusions are as follows. (1) Research trends in thermal and fluid engineering have been surveyed in the categories of general fluid flow, fluid machinery and piping, new and renewable energy, and fire. Well-developed CFD technologies were widely applied in developing facilities and their systems. New research topics include fire, fuel cell, and solar energy.
