To find out rational design and synthetic strategies toward efficient hydrogen storage materials, molecular modeling and quantum mechanical studies have been carried out on the MOFs(Metal-Organic Frameworks) having various organic linkers and nanocube frameworks. The calculation results about the free volume ratio, surface area, and electron density variation of the frameworks indicated that the capacity of the hydrogen storage of MOFs was largely dependent on the specific surface area and electron localization around benzene ring rather than the free volume of MOFs. The prediction of the modeling study could be supported by the hydrogen adsorption experiments using IRMOF-1 and -3, which showed more enhanced hydrogen storage capacities of IRMOF-3 compared with the IRMOF-1's at both experimental conditions, 77K, ∠ $H_2$ 1 atm and ambient temperature, ∠ $H_2$ 35 atm.

본 연구에서는 수압반복시험 장비를 이용하여 70 MPa용 Type 3의 수소복합용기에 대한 거동과 용기내부에 압력이 가해졌을 때 용기 거동을 유한요소법으로 해석하였다. 그 결과, 안전성과 경량성으로 주목받고 있는 Type3 수소용기는 실린더부에서 파열이 먼저 시작되었으며, 유한요소해석 결과에서도 동일한 양상을 확인하였다. 시험결과로 용기내부에 압력이 가해짐에 따라 실린더 몸통부가 부풀어 올라 돔너클과 실린더 몸통부가 가장 취약함을 알 수 있었다.

Syngas laminar burning velocity measurements were carried out at atmospheric pressure and ambient temperature using the Bunsen flame configuration with nozzle burner as a fundamental study on flame stability of syngas fuel. Representative syngas mixture compositions ($H_2$:CO) such as 25:75%, 50:50% and 75:25% and equivalence ratios from 0.5 to 1.4 have been conducted. Average laminar burning velocities have been determined by the stabilized nozzle burner flames using the angle method, radical surface area method and compared with the data obtained from the other literatures. And the results of each experimental methodologies in the various composition ratios and equivalence ratios were coincided with the result of numerical simulation. Especially, it was confirmed that there was necessary to choice a more accurate measurement methodology even the same static flame method for the various composition ratios of syngas fuel including hydrogen. Also, it was reconfirmed that the laminar burning velocities gradually increased with the increasing of hydrogen content in a fuel mixture.

Hydrogen mitigation using Passive Autocatalytic Recombiners (PARs) has been widely accepted methodology inside reactor containment of accident struck Nuclear Power Plants. They reduce hydrogen concentration inside reactor containment by recombining it with oxygen from containment air on catalyst surfaces at ambient temperatures. Exothermic heat of reaction drives the product steam upwards, establishing natural convection around PAR, thus invoking homogenisation inside containment. CFD models resolving individual catalyst plate channels of PAR provide good insight about temperature and hydrogen recombination. But very thin catalyst plates compared to large dimensions of the enclosures involved result in intensive calculations. Hence, empirical correlations specific to PARs being modelled are often used in integral containment studies. In this work, an experimentally validated CFD model of PAR has been employed for developing an empirical correlation for Indian PAR. For this purpose, detailed parametric study involving different gas mixture variables at PAR inlet has been performed. For each case, respective values of gas mixture variables at recombiner outlet have been tabulated. The obtained data matrix has then been processed using regression analysis to obtain a set of correlations between inlet and outlet variables. The empirical correlation thus developed, can be easily plugged into commercially available CFD software.

The effects of ambient temperature and diameter on the insulation lifetime of winding coils prepared with polyamideimide (PAI), flexural PAI (nanosilica 5 wt%) and anti-corona PAI (nanosilica 15 wt%) wires were investigated. The winding coils were made of enameled wire with enamel thickness of 30~50 μm. The thickness and width of the rectangular copper wires were 0.77~0.83 mm and 1.17~1.23 mm, respectively. The insulation breakdown lifetime decreased with increasing ambient temperature regardless of wire type and winding coil diameter under an inverter surge of 1.5 kV/20 kHz. The insulation breakdown lifetimes of φ5 mm winding coils at 150, 200, and 250℃ were 11.38, 5.19, and 4.22 min respectively, and those of φ10 mm winding coils at 150, 200, and 250℃ were 11.32, 5.79, and 4.57min respectively. The winding coil diameter had little effect on the insulation lifetime.

The electrical stability of ZnO: Al thin films deposited on glass substrate by the RF magnetron sputtering method have been modified by a hydrogen annealing treatment and $SiO_2$ protection layer. AZO thin films were deposited at room temperature and different RF powers of 50, 100, 150, and 200 W to optimize the AZO film growth condition. The lowest value of resistivity of $9.44{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$ was obtained at 2 mtorr, room temperature, and a power level of 150 W. Then, the AZO thin films were annealed at $250-400^{\circ}C$ for 1 h in hydrogen ambient. The minimum resistivity obtained was $8.32{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$ as-annealed at $300^{\circ}C$. The electrical properties were enhanced by the hydrogen annealing treatment. After a 72 h damp-heat treatment in harsh conditions of a water steam at $110^{\circ}C$ for four representative samples, a degradation of electrical properties was observed. The sample of hydrogen-annealed AZO thin films with $SiO_2$ protection layer showed a slight degradation ratio(17%) of electrical properties and a preferable transmittance of 90%. The electrical stability of AZO thin films had been modified by hydrogen annealing treatment and $SiO_2$ protection layer.

ITO, AZO, SZO 투명전도박막의 수소 플라즈마에 대한 안정성에 관하여 연구하였 다. ITO는 Corning 사의 제품을 사용하였고, AZO와 SZO는 rf magnetron sputtering 방법 으로 증착한 것을 이용하였다. 이 세가지 투명전도박막을 PECVD 챔버 내에 장착한 다음, 수소 플라즈마에 노출시켰다. 이 때 ITO 박막의 광투과도는 시편 표면의 온도와 시간이 증 가할수록 감소하였는데 특히 $300^{\circ}C$에서 30분간 노출시켰을 때 10~20%정도의 광투과도를 나타내었으며, 박막의 전도성을 완전히 잃어 버렸다. 반면 AZO와 SZO의 경우, 수소 플라즈 마 노출 온도와 시간에 대해 전반적으로 광투과도 손실이 나타나지 않았다. 하지만 박막내 수소의 유입으로 인하여 흡수대가 단파장 쪽으로 이동하는 'Burstein-Moss'효과가 나타났 다. 또한 표면구조에서도 AZO와 SZO가 수소 플라즈마 노출에 대해 안정성을 보인 반면 ITO의 표면은 indium과 tin의 금속입자로의 환원으로 인해 매우 거칠어짐을 보였다.

In the past decade, Pd based thin films have been studied far hydrogen gas sensors due to their high possibility for energy industry and environmental applications. In this work, we report a navel method to fabricate highly sensitive hydrogen gas sensors based on PdO thin films. The films were deposited on Si substrates in Ar and $O_2$ ambient using reactive sputtering system. A semiconductor process has been utilized to fabricate PdO films with t=40nm. We observed the resistance changes of the PdO films with various $H_2$ concentrations. It was found that the electrical properties of the thin films depend on the composition of oxygen. The sensitivity is defined as $S\;=\;(R_0-R)/R{\times}100%$, where R and $R_0$ are the resistances in the presence of exposing the hydrogen gas and air, respectively. The sensitivity of the thin films was found to be as high as about 95%. After exposing to hydrogen gas, we discovered that the nano-sized cracks formed on the surface of the PdO thin films. The nano-cracks formed in deoxidized PdO thin films were known by playing a key role to reduce more than 4 times the response time of absorption. Our results illustrate that the deoxidized PdO thin films can be used as hydrogen sensors.

This study reports a novel method off abricating highly sensitive hydrogen gas sensors based on PdO thin films. The PdO thin films with a thickness of 40 nm were deposited on Si substrates under Ar and $O_2$ ambient conditions using a reactive de magnetron sputtering system. Considerable changes in the resistance of the palladium oxide thin films were observed when they were initially exposed to hydrogen gas, as a result of the reduction process. The sensitivity of the PdO thin films was found to be as high as 90%. After the thin films were exposed to hydrogen gas, the nano-sized cracks were discovered to have formed on the surface of the PdO thin films. These types of nano-cracks that formed on the deoxidized PdO thin films are known to play a key role incausing a four-fold reduction of the response time of the absorption process. The results of this study demonstrate that deoxidized PdO thin films can be applied for use in the creation of high-sensitivity hydrogen sensors.

The purpose of this analytic study is to design and examine an efficient hydrogen liquefaction cycle by using a pre-cooler. The liquefaction cycle is primarily comprised of a pre-cooler and a refrigerator. The fed hydrogen gas is cooled down from ambient temperature (300 K) to the pre-cooling coolant temperature (either 77 K or 120 K approximately) through the pre-cooler. There are two pre-cooling methods: a single pre-coolant pre-cooler and a cascade pre-cooler which uses two levels of pre-coolants. After heat exchanging with the pre-cooler, the hydrogen gas is further cooled and finally liquefied through the refrigerator. The working fluids of the potential pre-cooling cycle are selected as liquid nitrogen and liquefied natural gas. A commercial software Aspen HYSYS is utilized to perform the numerical simulation of the proposed liquefaction cycle. Efficiency is compared with respect to the various conditions of the heat exchanging part of the pre-cooler. The analysis results show that the cascade method is more efficient, and the heat exchanging part of the pre-coolers should have specific UA ratios to maximize both spatial and energy efficiencies. This paper presents the quantitative performance of the pre-cooler in the hydrogen liquefaction cycle in detail, which shall be useful for designing an energy-efficient liquefaction system.
