Controlled auto ignition (CAI) combustion, also known as HCCI (homogeneous charge compression ignition), offers the potential to simultaneously improve fuel economy and reduce emission. CAI-combustion was achieved in a single cylinder gasoline DI engine, with a cylinder running in a CAI mode. Standard components were used the camshafts which had been modified in order to restrict the gas exchange process. The effects of air-fuel ratio, residual EGR rate and injection timing such as early injection and late injection on the attainable CAI combustion region were investigated. The effect that injection timings on factor such as start of combustion, combustion duration and heat release rate was also investigated. From results early injection caused the mixture to ignite earlier and burn more quickly due to the exothermic reaction during the recompression and gave rise to good mixing of the fuel-air.

Controlled auto-ignition(CAI) combustion, offers the potential to improve fuel economy and reduce emission simultaneously. In this study, CAI-combustion was achieved in a single cylinder gasoline DI engine with modified camshafts in order to restrict the gas exchange process. We investigated the effects of air-fuel ratio, residual EGR rate and injection timing such as early injection and late injection on the attainable CAI combustion region. The effect of injection timings on combustion characteristic such as start of combustion, combustion duration and heat release rate was also investigated. From the result early injection causes the mixture to ignite earlier and burn more quickly due to the exothermic reaction during the recompression and gives rise to good mixing of the fuel/air. On the other hand, late injection extended the operation region more than early injection but the emissions of HC and NOx were more or less increased than early injection.

Stainless steels (AISI 316L) are carburized by Inductively coupled plasma using $CH_4$ and Ar gas. The ${\gamma}_c$ phase(S-phase) is formed on the surface of stainless steel after carburizing process. The XRD peak of carburized samples is shifted to lower diffracting angle due to lattice expansion. Overall, the thickness of ${\gamma}_c$ phase showed a linear dependence with respect to increasing temperature due to the faster rate of diffusion of carbon. However, at temperatures above 500, the thickness data deviated from the linear trend. It is expected that the deviation was caused from atomic diffusion as well as other reactions that occurred at high temperatures. The interfacial contact resistance (ICR) and corrosion resistance are measured in a simulated proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) environment. The ICR value of the carburized samples decreased from 130 $m{\Omega}cm^2$ (AISI 316L) to about 20 $m{\Omega}cm^2$. The sample carburized at 200 showed the best corrosion current density (6 ${\mu}Acm^{-2}$).

Cryogenic vessels are special equipment that requires periodic evaluation of their thermal insulation performance. At the current standard, the test is considered as the loss product or heat leakage of cryogenic vessel, which takes over 72 h to evaluate; consequently, a large amount of working medium is discharged to the environment in the process. However, hydrogen is flammable and explosive, and the discharged gas may be dangerous. If liquid hydrogen is replaced with liquid nitrogen before testing, the operation then becomes complicated, and the loss product or heat leakage cannot respond to the thermal insulation performance of cryogenic vessels for liquid hydrogen. Therefore, a novel method is proposed to evaluate the heat leakage of cryogenic vessels for liquid hydrogen in self-pressurization. In contrast to the current testing methods, the method proposed in this study does not require discharge or exchange of working medium in all test processes. The proposed method is based on one-dimensional heat transfer analysis of cryogenic vessels, which is verified by experiment. When this method is used to predict the heat leakage, the comparison with the experimental data of the standard method shows that the maximum error of heat leakage is less than 5.0%.

The layout of the cathode flow field largely determines the net output power of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). To make the normal mass transfer effect best, the longitudinal channel was waved based on four serpentine flow channels, and the effects of sag depth and longitudinal channel width on the output efficiency of the cell were explored. The results show that the wave channel design systematically enhances the forced convection between adjacent channels, which can prevent a large zone of oxygen starvation zone at the outlet of the channel. The increase of the normal velocity in the gas transmission process will inevitably induce a significant enhancement of the mass transfer effect and obtain a higher current density in the reaction zone. For the longitudinal channel width, it is found that increasing its size in the effective range can greatly reduce the channel pressure drop without reducing the output power, thereby improving the overall efficiency. When the sag depth and longitudinal channel width gradient are 0.6 mm and 0.2 mm respectively, PEMFC can obtain the best comprehensive performance.

Durability problems of gas diffusion layer(GDL) is one of the important issues for accomplishing commercialization of proton exchange membrane fuel cell(PEMFC). GDL is strongly related to the performance of PEMFC because one of the main function of GDL is to work as a path of fuel, air and water. When the GDL is degraded, it causes water balance problems such as the flooding phenomenon. Thus, investigating the durability characteristics of the GDL is important and understanding the GDL degradation process is needed. In this study, the GDLs are degraded by carbon corrosion stress method which is the electrochemical degradation mode. To determine the effects of carbon corrosion of the GDL, 1.45 V of potential is imposed for 96 hours. In this manner, in the previous research, the structure between the substrate and the MPL is weaken. Further investigations are needed to clarify this phenomenon. Therefore, in this study, the carbon corrosion stress method is carried out with GDLs which have various MPL penetration levels and the effects of the MPL penetration level on the characteristics change of the GDL are analyzed. The changes in characteristics are measured with various properties of GDL such as weight, thickness and static contact angle. The degraded GDL shows loss of their properties.

Electrochemical conversion of $CO_2$ and production of $H_2$ were attempted on a three-dimensionally ordered, porous metal organic framework (MOF-74) in which transition metals (Co, Ni, and Zn) were impregnated. A lab-scale proton exchange membrane-based electrolyzer was fabricated and used for the reduction of $CO_2$. Real-time gas chromatography enabled the instantaneous measurement of the amount of carbon monoxide and hydrogen produced. Comprehensive calculations, based on electrochemical measurements and gaseous product analysis, presented a time-dependent selectivity of the produced gases. M-MOF-74 samples with different central metals were successfully obtained because of the simple synthetic process. It was revealed that Co- and Ni-MOF-74 selectively produce hydrogen gas, while Zn-MOF-74 successfully generates a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen. The results indicated that M-MOF-74 can be used as an electrocatalyst to selectively convert $CO_2$ into useful chemicals.

공정변수의 변화와 반응기의 성능을 정확하게 예측하기 위하여 Water Gas Shift Reaction(WGSR)을 위한 Multi-Tubular Reactor (MTR)의 상세 multiscale 모델링과 모사를 수행하였다. MTR은 비 균일 고체 촉매로 충진 된 4개의 관형반응기와 냉각을 위해 주변을 싸고 있는 shell side로 구성되어 있다. 유체의 흐름과 반응 kinetics가 반응기 성능에 큰 영향을 주고 있는 점을 고려할 때, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)기법과 공정모델링 기법을 포함한 multiscale 방법론의 채택은 자연스럽고 필수 불가결한 일이다. $345^{\circ}C$로 관형반응기 부분으로 유입된 반응물은 반응의 결과 $390^{\circ}C$로 $45^{\circ}C$가량 온도가 증가하였으며, CO의 전환율은 0.89에 이르렀다. 쉘 사이드로 $190^{\circ}C$로 유입된 유체는 쉘 출구에서 $240^{\circ}C$로 약 $50^{\circ}C$ 가량의 온도 증가를 보였으며 이를 통하여 에너지 절감효과를 가져 올 수 있었으며 높은 전환율을 얻기 위해 반응기 부분의 온도를 적절히 제어할 수 있었다. 모사의 결과는 여러 문헌에 보고된 실험 결과와 매우 근접한 값을 나타내 본 연구를 통해 제시된 모델과 모사의 결과가 정확함을 알 수 있었다.

석탄을 가스터빈에 직접 사용하여 발전 효율을 높이고자 용매추출법으로 회분이 제거된 청정석탄 제조공정이 개발되고 있다. 용매추출에 의해 생산된 청정석탄에는 미량의 알카리금속이온이 들어있어서 연소시에 터빈 날개의 부식을 일으킬 수 있다. 이 연구에서는 청정석탄 제조공정의 알카리금속이온 제거를 위하여 무기이온교환제인 ${\alpha},{\beta}$-인산금속 산화물들(ZP: $Zr(HPO_4)_2$, TP: $Ti(HPO_4)_2$, ZTP: $ZrTi(HPO_4)_4$, Z1TP3: $Zr_{0.25}Ti_{0.75}(HPO_4)_4$, Z3T1P: $Zr_{0.75}Ti_{0.25}(HPO_4)_4$)과 H-Y 제올라이트를 제조하여 수용액 및 석탄이 용해된 고온의 유기용매(N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone)에서 나트륨 이온 제거 특성을 비교 분석하였다. ${\beta}$ 형태의 인산금속산화물들은 모사 수용액($Na^+$ Conc. 100 ppmw)에서 ${\alpha}$ 형태에 비해 높은 이온교환용량을 가지고 있으며 H-Y 제올라이트에 비해서도 높은 나트륨 이온 제거용량을 보여주었다. 이온교환매체가 고온의 유기용매($Na^+$ Conc. 12 ppmw in NMP)일 경우에는 H-Y 제올라이트의 나트륨이온 제거율은 $300^{\circ}C$까지 90% 이상이었으나, 그 이상의 온도에서는 50% 가량으로 급격히 감소하는 경향을 보여주었다. 그러나 ${\beta}$ 형태의 인산금속산화물들은 여러 온도조건($250{\sim}400^{\circ}C$)에서 90% 이상의 제거율을 나타내었고 강산용액을 이용한 재생 후에도 최초 실험과 유사한 나트륨 이온 제거율을 보여주었으며 그 중 가장 높은 제거율을 나타낸 $Zr_{0.75}Ti_{0.25}(HPO_4)_2$는 알카리금속이온 제거공정에 가장 적합한 무기이온교환제로 판단된다.
