The behavior of fission gas in all major types of nuclear fuel has been reviewed with an emphasis on more recently discovered aspects. It is proposed that the behavior of fission gas can be classified in a number of characteristic types that occur at a high or low operating temperature, and/or at high or low fissile burnup. The crystal structure and microstructure of the various fuels are the determinant factors in the proposed classification scheme. Three types of behavior, characterized by anisotropic $\alpha$-U, high temperature metallic $\gamma$-U, and cubic ceramics, are well-known and have been extensively studied in the literature. Less widely known are two equally typical low temperature kinds: one associated with fission induced grain refinement and the other with fission induced amorphization. Grain refinement is seen in crystalline fuel irradiated to high burnup at low temperatures, whereas breakaway swelling is observed in amorphous fuel containing sufficient excess free-volume. Amorphous fuel, however, shows stable swelling if insufficient excess free-volume is available during irradiation.

Poor fuel vaporization in gasoline engines causes the problem of HC emission during the cold start and warm-up period. This paper presents a strategy to improve fuel atomization during the warm-up phase. In this experiment, the heated fuel-rail system is constructed to investigate the effects of fuel heating on the average size of fuel droplets. The fuel atomization effects are examined by measuring Sauter Mean Diameter (SMD) of the fuel droplets from the three different types (two-hole, pintle, and six-hole) of injectors based upon a returnless heated fuel-rail system. The results show that the six-hole type injector is the most sensitive to fuel heating in terms of SMD among three different types of injectors.

This study is aimed to characterize the combustion behavior of solid fuel in the various types of the combustors: stoker, rotary kiln and fluidized bed type combustors. Three different types of reduced-scale combustors are introduced, and temperatures and flue gas compositions are measured for various fuel sizes, water contents, initial temperature, and air flow rates. In case of the rotary kiln combustor, effects of rotating speed of the combustor are also investigated. Mean carbon conversion time (MCCT) and flame propagation rate (FPR) are used for the quantitative analysis. It is revealed that the reaction rates of the fuel are significantly influenced by the fuel characteristics, type of the combustors and air flow rate. Major design parameters for each type of the combustors are summarized through the reduced-scaled model analysis.

Fire fuel map is one of the most critical factors for planning and managing the fire hazard and risk. However, fuel mapping is extremely difficult because fuel properties vary at spatial scales, change depending on the seasonal situations and are affected by the surrounding environment. Remote sensing has potential to reduce the uncertainty in mapping fuels and offers the best approach for improving our abilities. Especially, Hyperspectral sensor have a great potential for mapping vegetation properties because of their high spectral resolution. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the potential of mapping fuel properties using Hyperion hyperspectral remote sensing data acquired in April, 2002. Fuel properties are divided into four broad categories: 1) fuel moisture, 2) fuel green live biomass, 3) fuel condition and 4) fuel types. Fuel moisture and fuel green biomass were assessed using canopy moisture, derived from the expression of liquid water in the reflectance spectrum of plants. Fuel condition was assessed using endmember fractions from spectral mixture analysis (SMA). Fuel types were classified by fuel models based on the results of SMA. Although Hyperion imagery included a lot of sensor noise and poor performance in liquid water band, the overall results showed that Hyperion imagery have good potential for wildfire fuel mapping.

The use of inedible vegetable oils as substitute for diesel fuel in compression ignition engine is of significance because of the great need for edible oil as food, and the reduction of biodiesel production cost etc. Jatropha curcas oil which is a leading candidate for the commercialization of inedible vegetable oils is selected in this study for reviewing the application in CI engine as an alternative fuel. The important properties of jatropha oil (JO) and JO biodiesel are summarized from the various sources in the literature. It is found that five different types of alternative fuel from JO such as neat JO, JO blends with diesel or other fuel, neat JO biodiesel, JO biodiesel blends with diesel or other fuel and degummed JO were extensively examined in the diesel engine. Two different application types of alternative fuels from JO such as preheating and dual fuelling were also tested, It should be pointed out that most of these applications are limited to single cylinder conditions. The systematic study for the selection of effective application method is required. It is clear that the blends of JOME and diesel can replace diesel fuel up to 10% by volume for running the existing common rail direct injection systems without any durability problems. The systematic assessment of spray characteristics of different types of JO and its derivatives for use as diesel engine fuel is also required.

The effect of the three types of fuel vaporizing device on the engine torque and exhaust emission was investigated. Among the three types of fuel vaporizing device designed for the experiments, a 88mm long device with mesh around the inside pipe showed stable lean mixture combustion up to 21:1 air-fuel ratio and reduced the exhaustion of CO and HC. Compared with the general trend in the decrease of engine torque it was observed that the decrease of engine torque in this lean mixture combustion with the new device was small.

유류소모량 산정 모형 개발을 위해서는 차종, 도로의 경사, 포장상태, 포장종류 등 다양한 변수들을 고려해야 하지만 현재 사용하고 있는 국토교통부의 투자평가지침에도 차종으로만 구분이 되어 있을 뿐 다양한 요인들을 고려하지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 도로의 경사도가 승용차의 유류소모량에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위해 실제 주행실험을 통해 얻은 데이터를 기반으로 유류소모량 산정 모형을 개발하고 적용성을 검증하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 경사도에 따른 유류소모량 모형 개발을 위해 GPS 장비와 연비측정장비를 이용하여 실제 주행실험을 통해 유류소모량을 초(sec)단위로 측정하였다. 평지(${\pm}0{\sim}2%$), 오르막(+2~5%), 내리막(-2~5%)의 세 가지 경사도로 구분하였으며 차량의 속도와 유류소모량을 변수로 하는 회귀모형을 이용하여 모형을 개발하였다. 승용차의 유류소모량은 내리막, 평지, 오르막 순으로 커지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

현재 교통수요모형 기반의 자동차 배출량 추정 모형에서 교통 활동도 자료는 세부적으로 고려되는 반면, 배출계수는 평균적인 값만 반영되고 있기 때문에 배출량 산정 결과의 정확도를 저하시키는 문제가 있다. 본 연구는 도로유형 및 주행시간대와 무관하게 동일한 배출계수가 적용되는 부분을 개선하기 위해, 도로유형과 주행시간대별 연료소모량 차이에 대한 실증적 분석을 기반으로 각 유형별 배출계수의 보정 지표 제시를 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해, '이동식 차량활동도 모니터링 장비(Portable Activity Monitoring System: PAMS)'를 이용해 도로유형 주행시간대별 실 주행 자료를 수집하였고, 각 유형별 연료소모량을 추정하여 이를 비교하였다. 연구 결과 평균 주행속도가 22.5km/h 일 경우, 도로 유형별 주행차량의 가감속도 변화 등의 차이에 따라 국도에서의 연료소모량(95g/km)은 자동차 전용도로에서(81g/km)보다 약 17.3% 높은 것으로 분석되었고, 첨두시간대의 평균 연료소모량(86.73g/km)은 비첨두시간대(82.84g/km)보다 약 4.7% 높은 것으로 분석되었다. 각 유형별 연료소모량의 차이는 공변량 분석 (ANOCOVA)과 다변량 분산분석 (MANOVA)으로 검증하였으며, 그 결과 "주행속도가 동일할지라도, 도로유형과 주행시간대에 따라 연료소모량의 차이가 있다"는 본 연구가설은 유의한 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 연료소모량의 차이를 활용하여 각 유형별 배출계수 보정 지표들을 제안하였다. 본 연구는 기존 차량 중심의 배출계수 연구에서 벗어나, 도로 교통 조건에 따른 배출계수 특성을 분석했다는 점에서 의의가 있으며, 본 연구결과를 활용하여 교통부문의 배출량 추정결과에 대한 신뢰성을 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
