FCEV uses electric energy generated from the reaction between Hydrogen and Oxygen in fuel cell stack as driving force. As fossil fuels are exhausted, fuel cell is regarded as a potent substitute for next generation energy source, and thus, most of car-makers make every efforts to develop fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV). In addition, fuel cell is also beneficial in aspect of environment, because only clean water is produced during chemical reaction process instead of harmful exhausted gas. Generally, Hydrogen is supplied from high-pressured fuel tank, and air blower (or compressor) supplies Oxygen by pressurizing ambient air. Air blower which is driven by high speed motor consumes about $7{\sim}8%$ of energy generated from fuel cell stack. Therefore, the efficiency of an air blower is directly linked with the overall performance of FCEV. This study will present developing process of an air blower and its consisting parts respectively.

A 1.28 L-batch reactor and continuous-flow stirred tank reactor (CFSTR) fed with formate and trichloroethene (TCE) were operated for 120 days and 56 days, respectively, to study the effect of formate as electron donor on anaerobic reductive dechlorination (ARD) of TCE to cis-1,2-dichloroethylene (c-DCE), vinyl chloride (VC), and ethylene (ETH). In batch reactor, injected 60 ${\mu}mol$ TCE was completely degraded in the presence of 20% hydrogen gas ($H_2$) in less than 8 days by anaerobic dechlorination mixed-culture (300 mg-soluble protein), Evanite Culture with ability to completely degrade tetrachloroethene (PCE) and -TCE to ETH under anaerobic conditions. Once the formate was used as electron donor instead of hydrogen gas in batch or chemostat system, the TCE-dechlorination rate decreased and acetate production rate increased. It indicates that the concentration of hydrogen produced in both systems is possibly more close to threshold for homoacetogenesis process. Soluble protein concentration of Evanite culture during the batch test increased from 300 mg to 688 mg for 120 days. Through the protein monitoring, we confirmed an increase of microbial population during the reactor operation. In CFSTR test, TCE was fed continuously at 9.9 ppm (75.38 ${\mu}mol/L$) and the influent formate feed concentration increased stepwise from 1.3 mmol/L to 14.3 mmol/L. Injected TCE was accumulated at 18 days of HRT, but TCE was completely degraded at 36 days of HRT without accumulation of the injected-TCE during the left of experiment period, getting $H_2$ from fermentative hydrogen production of injected formate. Although c-DCE was also accumulated for 23 days after beginning of CFSTR operation, it reached steady-state in the presence of excessive formate. We also evaluated microbial dynamic of the culture at different chemical state in the reactor by DGGE (denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis).

연료전지는 수소를 직접 사용하는 것이 가장 효율이 높지만 가정이나 사무실에서는 수소 저장탱크를 사용하기보다는 도시가스(메탄가스)를 연료 source로 하여 수소를 생산하는 것이 유리하다. 연료전지에 사용하는 수소는 천연가스나 바이오가스, 탄화수소계열의 연료를 개질하여 생산하며 개질반응과정에서 필연적으로 여러 성분의 불순물이 포함되어 있다. CO, $CO_2$, $H_2S$, $NH_3$, $CH_4$등의 불순물이 포함된 수소연료가 PEM fuel cell에 공급되면 연료전지 성능에 영향을 준다고 보고되어 있다. 이러한 영향에는 전극 촉매의 피독에 의한 kinetic losses, 전해질막과 촉매이온층의 양이온 전도성 감소에 의한 ohmic losses 그리고 촉매층의 구조나 소수성 감소에 의한 mass transport losses가 있다. 개질기에서 생산된 수소연료는 약 73%의 $H_2$와 20% 이하의 $CO_2$, 5.8% 이하의 $N_2$, 2% 이하의 $CH_4$, 10ppm 이하의 CO로 최종 공급된다. 본 연구에서는 연료 중에 $CO_2$가 고분자전해질 연료전지 anode측 성능에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 실험은 연료전지에 공급되는 연료중에 $CO_2$농도를 10%, 20%, 30%로 전류와 전압의 성능곡선과 장시간(10시간)실험 그리고 임피던스를 측정하였다. 또한 가스크로마토그래피를 이용하여 순수한 수소와 $CO_2$가 함유된 수소의 혼합을 통해 나온 연료전지 inlet에서의 불순물의 농도를 검증하였다.

The Joule-Thomson cryocooler with $H_2$gas has been developed. Cool-down characteristics and the cooling performance of a JT cryocooler have been investigated in detail. The JT cryocooler consists of JT expansion valve, heat exchanger, expansion chamber, compressed $H_2$gas storage tank, $LN_2$precooler, heater and a cryostat. The precooling process using both $GN_2$and $LN_2$was peformed to cool down the inside components of cryocooler under the maximum inversion temperature of $H_2$. The $H_2$expansion experiments have been peformed for 2-5MPa of H$_2$pressure to evaluate steady state temperatures of the cryocooler. It is found that the steady state temperatures are decreased as the H$_2$pressures are increased. The effects of cooling temperatures on the performance have been evaluated for various $H_2$and $N_2$pressures. It is seen that the cooling loads are increased, as the cooling temperature and operating pressure are increased.

When bioethanol and water are mixed at a proper ratio, phase separation can occur because of the immiscibility of biobutanol with water. Phase separation in bioethanol blends fuels is a major problem for gasoline vehicle users due to effect of octane number and component corrosion. Thus, in this study, the phase separation of bioethanol was examined effect of bioethanol blends (E3 (3 vo.% bioethanol in gasoline), E5 and E10) in presence of water. The effect were evaluated behavior with phase separation test, simulation test of fuel tank in gas station according to water addition volume and it was investigated change of water content, bioethanol content and octane number for gasoline phase in bioethanol blends (E3, E5 and E10) every 1 week after water addition. The E3 occurred phase separation more easily than the E5 and E10 in small water contents because solubility of water on ethanol content difference in gasoline-ethanol. It was kept a initial level of water content, bioethanol content, and octane number by repeated sample replacing in simulation test of fuel tank.

This paper reports development process of a university-based sounding rocket using simplified hybrid rocket propulsion system for low-altitude flight application. A hybrid propulsion system was tried to be designed with as few components as possible for more economical, simpler and safer propulsion system, which is essential for the small scale sounding rocket operation as a CanSat carrier. Using blow-down feeding system and catalytic ignition as combustion starter, 250 N class hybrid rocket system was composed of three components: a composite tank, valves, and a thruster. With a composite tank filled with both hydrogen peroxide($H_2O_2$) as an oxidizer and nitrogen gas($N_2$) as a pressurant, the feeding pressure was operated in blowdown mode during thruster operation. The $MnO_2/Al_2O_3$ catalyst was fabricated for propellant decomposition, and ground test of propulsion system showed the almost theoretical temperature of decomposed $H_2O_2$ at the catalyst reactor, indicating sufficient catalyst efficiency for propellant decomposition. Auto-ignition of the high density polyethylene(HDPE) fuel grain successfully occurred by the decomposed $H_2O_2$ product without additional installation of any ignition devices. Performance test result was well matched with numerical internal ballistics conducted prior to the experimental propulsion system ground test. A sounding rocket using the developed hybrid rocket was designed, fabricated, flight simulated and launch tested. Six degree-of-freedom trajectory estimation code was developed and the comparison result between expected and experimental trajectory validated the accuracy of the developed trajectory estimation code. The fabricated sounding rocket was successfully launched showing the effectiveness of the simplified hybrid rocket propulsion system.

화석연료의 고갈과 환경문제의 대안으로 수소에너지가 부각되고 있으며, 자동차 산업에서도 수소차의 보급이 증가하고 있다. 그러나 수소는 가연농도 범위가 4~75%로 넓은 가연영역을 가지고 있어 수소차 사고 시 안전에 대한 우려가 높은 실정이다. 특히, 터널이나 지하주차장과 같은 반밀폐 공간에서는 수소누출에 따른 화재나 폭발이 대형사고를 유발할 가능성이 높기 때문에 수소누출에 따른 가연영역 분석을 통해 수소 안전성에 대한 검토가 필요한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 표준단면의 도로터널에서 수소차량의 수소 누출조건과 터널 내 풍속에 따른 수소농도 해석을 수행하여 터널 내 풍속이 가연영역에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 수소의 누출조건은 1개의 탱크와 3개의 탱크가 통시에 TPRD를 통해 누출되는 조건과 대형크랙이 발생하여 누출하는 조건으로 하였으며, 터널 내 풍속은 0, 1, 2.5, 4.0 m/s를 고려하였다. 가연영역에 대한 검토결과, 1 m/s 이상의 풍속이 존재하는 경우에는 풍속이 없는 경우와 비교하여 최대 25%수준까지 감소하는 것으로 나타나고 있으며, 풍속증가에 따른 가연영역의 감소효과는 거의 없는 것으로 나타나고 있다. 특히 대형크랙이 발생하여 약 2.5초 만에 완전히 누출되는 경우에는 풍속이 증가하면 가연영역이 약간 증가하는 것으로 나타나고 있다. 또한 하향 분출되는 경우에 풍속이 작은 차량하부 영역에 수소가스가 상당히 긴 시간동안 잔류하는 것으로 분석되었다.

In this study, the weight of type IV pressure vessel is optimized through the burst pressure condition using the finite element analysis (FEA) based on the genetic algorithm (GA). The optimization design variables include the thickness of composite layers and the winding angles. The optimized design variables are validated using the numerical simulations for the pressure vessel. Consequently, the weight is decreased by about 6.5% as compared to the previously reported results for Type III pressure vessel. Additionally, a method which reduces the entire optimization time is proposed. In the original method, the population size is constant across all generations. However, the proposed method could reduce the workload through the reduction of the population size by half for every 25 generations. Thus, the proposed method is observed to increase the weight by about 0.1%, however, the working time for the optimization could be decreased by about 46.5%.

Transient mixing states of two different fuel oils, dimethylformamide (DMF) oil and JetA1 oil, were investigated by using a color image processing and a neural network. A tank ($D{\times}H$, $310{\times}370mm$) was filled with JetA1 oil. The DMF oil was filled at a top tank, and was mixed with the JetA1 oil in the tank mixing tank via a sudden opening which was performed by nitrogen gas with 1.9 bar. An impeller was rotated with 700 rpm for mixing enhancements of the two fuel oils. To visualize the mixing state of the DMF oil with the JetA1 oil, the DMF oil was coated with Rhodamine B whose color was red. A LCD monitor was used for uniform illumination. The color changes of the DMF oil were captured by a camcoder and the images were transferred to a host computer for quantifying the information of color changes. The color images of two mixed oils were captured with the camcoder. The R, G, B color information of the captured images was used to quantify the concentration of the DMF oil. To quantify the concentration of the DMF oil in the JetA1 oil, a calibration of color-to-concentration was carried out before the main experiment was done. Transient mixing states of DMF oil with the JetA1 oil since after the sudden infiltration were quantified and characterized with the constructed visualization technique.
