Recently, the global automobile market is rapidly changing from internal combustion engine vehicles to eco-friendly vehicles including electric vehicles. Among eco-friendly vehicles, LPG vehicles are low in fine dust and are suggested as a realistic way to replace diesel vehicles. In addition, it is more economical than gasoline in its class, showing a cost-saving effect. In Korea, the business of converting gasoline into LPG is active. Research is being conducted to apply this to hybrid vehicles. In this study, the difference in energy consumption efficiency was analyzed when LPG fuel was applied by selecting a 2-liter GDI hybrid electric vehicle. The operation of the hybrid system according to various driving characteristics was confirmed by selecting the WLTC mode. As a result, it was confirmed that the BSFC was about 5% lower than that of gasoline fuel when using LPG fuel. This is due to the active operation of the motor while driving. Optimization is required as battery consumption increases from an energy perspective.

This paper presents the design features and preliminary design analysis results of the Wielenga Innovation Static Salt Reactor (WISSR). The WISSR incorporates features that make it both flexible and inherently safe. It is based on innovative technology that controls a nuclear reactor by moving molten salt fuel into or out of the core. The reactor is a low-pressure, fast spectrum transuranic (TRU) burner reactor. Inherent shutdown is achieved by a large negative reactivity feedback of the liquid fuel and by the expansion of fuel out of the core. The core is made of concentric, thin annular fuel chambers containing molten fuel salt. A molten salt coolant passes between the concentric fuel chambers to cool the core. The core has both fixed and variable volume fuel chambers. Pressure, applied by helium gas to fuel reservoirs below the core, pushes fuel out of a reservoir and up into a set of variable volume chambers. A control system monitors the density and temperature of the fuel throughout the core. Using NaCl-(TRU,U)Cl₃ fuel and NaCl-KCl-MgCl₂ coolant, a road-transportable compact WISSR core design was developed at a power level of 1250 MWt. Preliminary neutronics and thermal-hydraulics analyses demonstrate the technical feasibility of WISSR.

Void drift between subchannels in a rod bundle is a crucial phenomenon affecting the calculation accuracy of thermal-hydraulic parameters in SMRs. It holds significant importance in enhancing the precision of safety analysis for SMRs. Existing research on experiment and model of void drift between rod bundle subchannels is relatively rare, and the accuracy of model calculations requires improvement. In this study, experiments on gas-liquid two-phase non-equilibrium flow were conducted to measure the redistribution of two-phase flow induced by void drift in a 1 × 2 rod bundle. The experiment results indicated that in bubby flow regime with void fraction less than 0.3, the void diffusion coefficient showed little variation with changes in void fraction. However, in slug flow and annular flow regimes with void fraction exceeding 0.3, the void diffusion coefficient significantly increased with an increase in void fraction. Furthermore, a new void drift model was developed and validated based on a subchannel code. The overall predicted uncertainty for the outlet void fraction in the rod bundle benchmark was less than 13%.

In this study, the thermal performance of vehicle's cooling system is experimentally investigated using the water/coolant-based $Al_2O_3$ nanofluids as working fluids. For the purpose, the water/coolant-based $Al_2O_3$ nanofluids are prepared by twostep method with gum arabic. In order to obtain the well-suspended nanofluids, the agglomerated $Al_2O_3$ nanoparticles are precipitated using centrifugal force and the experiments are performed with supernatant of them. The thermal conductivity is measured by transient hot wire method and the thermal conductivity of nanofluids is enhanced up to 4.8% as compared to that of base fluids. Moreover, the cooling performance of water/coolant-based $Al_2O_3$ nanofluids is evaluated using vehicle's engine simulator under the constant RPM condition. The results show that the cooling performance of automobile engine increases up to 5.9% using prepared nanofluids. To investigate the effect of nanofluids on exhaust gas, the $NO_x$ emission is measured during the operation with respect to time and 10.3% of $NO_x$ emission is decreased. The experimental results imply that the water/coolant-based $Al_2O_3$ nanofluids might be used as a next-generation vehicles' coolant

After recycle of spent materials has been optimised, there remains a proportion of waste which must be dealt with in the most environmentally friendly manner available. For materials such as municipal waste, clinical waste, toxic waste and special wastes such as tyres, incineration is often the most appropriate technology. The study of incineration must take a process system approach covering the following aspects: ${\bullet}$ Collection and blending of waste, ${\bullet}$ The two stage combustion process, ${\bullet}$ Quenching, scrubbing and polishing of the flue gases, ${\bullet}$ Dispersion of the flue gases and disposal of any solid or liquid effluent. The design of furnaces for the burning of a bed of material is being hampered by lack of an accurate mathematical model of the process and some semi-empirical correlations have to be used at present. The prediction of the incinerator gas phase flow is in a more advanced stage of development using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis, although further validation data is still required. Unfortunately, it is not possible to scale down many aspects of waste incineration and tests on full scale incinerators are essencial. Thanks to a close relationship between SUWIC and Sheffield Heat&Power Ltd., an extended research programme has been carried out ar the Bernard Road Incinerator plant in Sheffield. This plant consists of two Municipal(35 MW) and two Clinical (5MW) Waste Incinerators which provide district heating for a large part of city. The heat is distributed as hot water to commercial, domestic ( >5000 dwelling) and industrial buildings through 30km of 14" pipes plus a smaller pipe distribution system. To improve the economics, a 6 MW generator is now being added to the system.

The Selective catalytic reduction(SCR) system is a highly-effective device of $NO_x$ reduction for diesel engines. Generally, the ammonia($NH_3$) generated from a liquid urea-water solution is used for the reductant. The ideal ratio of $NH_3$ molecules to $NO_x$ molecules is 1:1 based on $NH_3$ consumption and having $NH_3$ available for reaction of all of the exhaust $NO_x$. However, under the too low and too high temperature condition, the $NO_x$ reduction efficiency becomes lower, due to temperature window. And space velocity also affects to $NO_x$ conversion efficiency. This paper reviews a laboratory study to evaluate the effects of $NO_x$ and $NH_3$ concentrations, gas temperature and space velocity on the $NO_x$ conversion efficiency of the SCR system. The maximum conversion efficiency of $NO_x$ was indicated when the $NH_3$ to $NO_x$ ratio was 1.2 and the space velocity was $60,000\;h^{-1}$. The results of this paper contribute to improve overall $NO_x$ reduction efficiency and $NH_3$ slip.

The unique features of spark plasma sintering process are the possibilities of a very fast heating rate and a short holding time to obtain fully dense materials. $\beta$-SiC powder with 0, 2, 6, 10 wt% of $\alpha$-SiC particles (seeds) and 4 wt% of Al-B-C (sintering aids) were spark plasma sintered at $1700-1850^{\circ}C$ for 10 min. The heating rate, applied pressure and sintering atmosphere were kept at $100^{\circ}C/min$, 40 MPa and a flowing Ar gas (500 CC/min). Microstructural development of SiC as function of seed content and temperature during spark plasma sintering was investigated quantitatively and statistically using image analysis. Quantitative image analyses on the sintered SiC ceramics were conducted on the grain size, aspect ratio and grain size distribution of SiC. The microstructure of SiC sintered up to $1700^{\circ}C$ consisted of equiaxed grains. In contrast, the growth of large elongated SiC grains in small matrix grains was shown in sintered bodies at $1750^{\circ}C$ and the plate-like grains interlocking microstructure had been developed by increasing sintering temperature. The introduction of $\alpha$-SiC seeds into $\beta$-SiC accelerated the grain growth of elongated grains during sintering, resulting in the plate-like grains interlocking microstructure. In the $\alpha$-SiC seeds added in $\beta$-SiC, the rate of grain growth decreased with $\alpha$-SiC seed content, however, bulk density and aspect ratio of grains in sintered body increased.

Kimchi is a refreshing sour food which gives sour and carbonic acid taste of carbon dioxide produced during the fermentation process. So, carbon dioxide injection was tried to raise carbonic acid taste of kimchi stored in the airtight container. First, carbon dioxide injection times of a given gas supply system were determined experimentally to attain initial concentration of 80% for different solid/liquid ratios. Since carbon dioxide is dissolved in kimchi to decrease its concentration during storage, periodical carbon dioxide injection conditions were needed and determined to keep the $CO_2$ concentration above 70%. For the initial flushing to 80% $CO_2$ concentration in model system filled with water, the injection time ranged from 40 to 89 seconds for free volumes of 2-8 L. $CO_2$ injection conditions for the under-ripened storage at $10^{\circ}C$ consisted of longer time at more frequent cycles for watery kimchi than for Chinese cabbage kimchi. At $0^{\circ}C$ of subsequent ripened stage storage of watery kimchi, the periodical injection at 3 hour interval was required because of continuous dissolution of carbon dioxide. However, Chinese cabbage kimchi did not require subsequent $CO_2$ injection during the ripened state storage and needed only flushing to 80% $CO_2$ at time of the container opening and closing. These results can be used as basic information for the programmed control of $CO_2$ injection in the kimchi container system.
