An analysis has been made on the performance variation due to pressure drop change at propellant supply pipes of liquid rocket engine. The objective is to compare the effectiveness of control variables to tune the liquid rocket engine performance. The mode analysis program has been used to estimate the engine performance for different modes which is realized by controlling the flow rate of propellant. The oxidizer of combustion chamber, the fuel of combustion chamber, the oxidizer of gas generator and the fuel of gas generator are the independent variables to control engine thrust, engine mixture ratio and temperature of gas generator product gas. The analysis program is validated by comparing with the powerpack test results. The error range of compared variables is order of 4%. After comparison of tuning effectiveness it is turned out that the pressure drop at oxidizer pipe of gas generator and pressure drop at combustion chamber fuel pipe and the pressure drop at the fuel pipe of gas generator can effectively tune the thrust of engine, mixture ratio of engine and temperature of product gas from gas generator respectively.

IGCC용 가스터빈 연소기의 중발열량 가스 연료 대체성 및 호환성 검토를 위한 전산유체역학적 연구를 수행하였다. 연소기 전산해석 방법은 기존의 상용 CFD코드의 해석체계에 중발열량 가스연료의 화학반응 모델 및 fuel NOx 모델등을 추가적으로 결합하여 구성하였다. 본 해석방법을 이용하여, 천연가스와 IGCC 용 대체가스(석탄가스, 중잔사유 가스) 연소시의 연소기 내부 유동속도, 화학종, 온도 분포들과 화염 형상 및 거동을 비교하였고, 더 나아가 NOx 생성특성과 터빈과의 matching 조건도 분석하였다. 이러한 전산해석결과들을 바탕으로, 본 연구는 중발열량 가스를 대체연료로 사용하는 IGCC용 가스터빈 연소기의 설계 개선 및 재설계 방향을 제시하였다.

SOFC(Solid Oxide Fuel Cell)는 고온 연료전지 중 하나이며, SOFC 시스템과 스택은 고온 운전 특성을 가지고 있다. 이러한 특성 때문에 시스템 설계 및 재료의 선택, 내구성 확보, 안전성능 확보에 많은 어려움을 가지고 있다. 따라서 SOFC 연료전지의 상용화와 보급을 위해서는 안전성능 평가기술과 평가시스템의 개발이 병행되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 스택 안전성능 평가시스템의 제작을 위하여 국내 외 SOFC 관련규격 및 스택의 위험요소를 분석하였다. 분석한 자료를 바탕으로 스택 안전성능 평가 시스템의 제작을 위한 평가항목을 도출하였다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 SOFC 연료전지의 보급 활성화와 안전한 사용 환경에 기여할 수 있기를 기대한다.

The reformer system is a chemical device that drives the conversion of hydrocarbon to hydrogen rich gas under high temperature environment($600-1,000^{\circ}C$). Generally, NG(Natural Gas) or AOG(Anode Off Gas) is used as fuel of fuel cell reformer combustion system. The experimental study to analyze the combustion characteristics of a premixed ceramic burner used for 0.5-1.0 kW fuel cell reformer was performed. Ceramic burner experiments using NG and AOG were carried out to investigate the flame stability characteristics by heating capacity, equivalence ratio and different fuels respectively. The results show that surface flames can be classified into green, red, blue and lift-off flames as the equivalence ratio of methane-air mixture decreases. And the stable flames can be established using NG and AOG as reformer fuel in the perforated ceramic burner. In particular, the blue flame is found to be stable at a lean equivalence ratio under different mixture conditions of NG and AOG for the 0.5 to 1.0 kW fuel cell system power range. NOx emission is under 60 ppm between 0.70 to 0.78 of equivalence ratio and CO emission is under 50 ppm between 0.70 to 0.84 of equivalence ratio.

SOFC (Solid oxide fuel cell) has an advantage in the term of fuel flexibility, comparing with other kinds of fuel cells. In SOFC and fuel reformer cooperation system, the reformate gas with the various $H_2$/CO ratios is delivered into the anode of SOFC. In this situation, electrochemical oxidation reactions of the reformate gas in the anode are complex and competitive. In this paper, the effects of the composition of $H_2$ and CO on the overall electrochemical oxidation at Ni-YSZ anode are studied by testing the open circuit voltage (OCV) and current-voltage characteristics of single cells.

The development of proton exchange membrane fuel cells(PEMFCs) with high energy efficiencies and high power densities is gaining momentum because their performance characteristics are attractive for terrestrial(power sources for electrical vehicles, stand-by power), space and underwater application[1]. Fuel cells are capable of running on non-petroleum fuels such as methanol, natural gas or hydrogen and also have major impact on improving air quality. They virtually eliminate particulates, NO$_{x}$, SO$_{x}$, and significant reduce hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide. Especially, fuel cell-battery hybrid power sources appear to be well suited to overcome both the so-called battery problem(low energy density) and the fuel cell problem(low power density)[2].[2].

A model to predict failure of designed-to-fail (dtf) fuel particles is discussed. The dtf fuel under study consisted of a uranium oxycarbide kernel coated with a single pyrocarbon seal coat. Coating failure was assumed to be due to fission gas recoil and knockout mechanisms and direct diffusive release of fission gas from the kernel, which acted to increase pressure and stress in the pyrocarbon layer until it ruptured. Predictions of dtf fuel failure using General Atomics' particle fuel performance code for HRB-17/18 and HFR-B1 irradiation tests were reasonably accurate; however, the model could not predict the failure for COMEDIE BD-1. This was most likely due to insufficient information on reported particle fuel failure at the beginning.

Recently, our world is faced with very serious and hard problems related to the air pollution due to the exhaust emissions of the diesel engine. In this paper, the effect of oxygen component in fuel on the exhaust emissions has been investigated fur direct injection diesel engine. It was tested to estimate change of engine performance and exhaust emission characteristics for the commercial diesel fuel and oxygenate blended fuel which has three kinds of mixed ratio. And, it was tried to analyze not only total hydrocarbon but individual hydrocarbon components from Cl to C6 in exhaust gas using gas chromatography to seek the reason far remarkable reduction of smoke emission. This study was carried out by comparing the chromatogram with diesel fuel and diesel feel blended DGM(diethylene glycol dimethyl ether) 5%. The results of this study show that individual hydrocarbon(C1∼C6) as well as total hydrocarbon of oxygenated fuel is reduced remarkably than that of diesel fuel.

A reformer, which produces hydrogen from natural gas, plays a major role for producing quality hydrogen to fuel-cell system. In this paper, fuel processor is designed to deliver hydrogen(75%) from the reformer to 200W fuel-cell system, and the electrical output power of the fuel-cells is examined by being injected different hydrogen concentrations to the system. We verified that the output power characteristics of the fuel-cells with 75% reformed hydrogen was lower about 7% than the case of pure hydrogen supplied. The type of reformer in this experiment takes SMR(Steam methane reforming) process, and the temperature variation characteristics of reforming process by reactions are examined in operation.

In this study, we fabricated honeycomb type Mixed-Gas Fuel Cell (MGFC) which has advantages of stacking to the axial direction and increasing volume power density. Honeycomb-shaped anode with four channels was prepared by dry pressing method. Two alternative channels were coated with electrolyte and cathode slurry in order to make cathodic reaction sites and the others were filled with partial oxidation (POX) catalyst to increase fuel conversion. Furthermore we employed the sol-gel technique which can increase cell performance and decrease carbon coking.
