  • 최근 낙농업은 지구온난화 등 환경에 미치는 영향 문제에 직면하고 있다. 특히 젖소로부터 발생하는 장내발효 메탄가스와 젖소를 사육하는데 필요한 사료작물의 재배에 의한 여러 환경영향이 이슈가 되고 있다. 유럽에서는 Product Environmental Footprint (PEF)라는 통합적 라벨링제도를 통해 공산품뿐만 아니라 낙농제품 등과 같은 각종 농업생산물에 대한 환경영향 산정 방법론을 연구하고 있는 실정이다. 이 연구에서는 전과정평가(Life cycle assessment, LCA)를 이용하여 국내 낙농우(젖소)의 전과정에 대해 전과정 단계별로 환경영향을 산정하고 주요이슈를 규명하였다. 시스템 경계는 젖소를 위한 사료작물 재배, 사료가공, 전소 관리와 가축분뇨처리(cradle-to-gate)이다. 기능단위는 1 kg의 우유(Fat Protein Corrected Milk, FPCM(유지 및 단백질 보정유)) 생산이다. 국내 낙농우(젖소) 시스템의 환경영향은 사육단계, 사료작물 재배단계가 분뇨처리단계 및 사료생산 단계보다 더 많은 환경영향범주에서 주요 전과정 단계로 규명되었다. 이에 농장 내 우유 생산과정 환경영향을 저감하기 위해서는 사육 시 장내발효 메탄가스 발생 억제기술 개발, 농장 기기 장비의 에너지효율 개선, 작물 재배 시 발생하는 침출수 관리 및 사료작물 재배 시 비료의 유실방지 기술 개발 등이 주요 환경이슈를 개선하기 위한 방안으로 판단된다.

  • Mankind is enjoying a great convenience of their life by the rapid growth of secondary industry since the Industrial Revolution and it is possible due to the invention of huge power such as engine. The automobile which plays the important role of industrial development and human movement is powered by the Engine Module, and especially Diesel engine is widely used because of mechanical durability and energy efficiency. The main work mechanism of the Diesel engine is composed of inhalation of the organic material (coal, oil, etc.), combustion, explosion and exhaust Cycle process then the carbon compound emissions during the last exhaust process are essential which is known as the major causes of air pollution issues in recent years. In particular, COx, called carbon oxide compound which is composed of a very small size of the particles from several ten to hundred nano meter and they exist as a suspension in the atmosphere. These Diesel particles can be accumulated at the respiratory organs and cause many serious diseases. In order to compensate for the weak point of such a Diesel Engine, the DPF(Diesel Particulate Filter) post-cleaning equipment has been used and it mainly consists of ceramic materials(SiC, Cordierite etc) because of the necessity for the engine system durability on the exposure of high temperature, high pressure and chemical harsh environmental. Ceramic Material filter, but it remains a lot of problems yet, such as limitations of collecting very small particles below micro size, high cost due to difficulties of manufacturing process and low fuel consumption efficiency due to back pressure increase by the small pore structure. This study is to test the possibility of new structure by direct infiltration of SiC Whisker on Carbon felt as the next generation filter and this new filter is expected to improve the above various problems of the Ceramic DPF currently in use and reduction of the cost simultaneously. In this experiment, non-catalytic VS CVD (Vapor-Solid Chemical Vaporized Deposition) system was adopted to keep high mechanical properties of SiC and MTS (Methyl-Trichloro-Silane) gas used as source and H2 gas used as dilute gas. From this, the suitable whisker growth for high performance filter was observed depending on each deposition conditions change (input gas ratio, temperature, mass flow rate etc.).

  • The emission of off-gas streams from used fuel recycling is a concern in nuclear energy usage as they contain radioactive compounds, such as, 3H, 14C, 85Kr, 131I, and 129I that can be harmful to human health and environment. Radioactive iodine, 129I, is particularly troublesome as it has a half-life of more than 15 million years and is prone to accumulate in human thyroid glands. Organic iodides are hazardous even at very low concentrations, and hence the capture of 129I is extremely important. Dynamic adsorption experiments were conducted to determine the efficiency of sodium mordenite, partially exchanged silver mordenite, and fully exchanged silver mordenite for the removal of methyl iodide present at parts per billion concentrations in a simulated off-gas stream. Kinetic analysis of the system was conducted incorporating the effects of diffusion and mass transfer. The possible reaction mechanism is postulated and the order of the reaction and the values of the rate constants were determined from the experimental data. Adsorbent characterization is performed to investigate the nature of the adsorbent before and after iodine loading. This paper will offer a comprehensive understanding of the methyl iodide behavior when in contact with the mordenites.

  • LED 광원은 기존 광원에 비해 수명이 길고 에너지 효율이 좋은 것으로 알려져 있다. 최근 철도차량의 고속화에 따른 전방시야 확보와 안전적인 운행을 고려하여 LED광원을 이용한 전조등이 증가하고 있다. 그러나 LED광원의 수명시험 데이터를 근거로 한 제품 수명 평가체계는 구동전류, 온도 및 진동 등 수명-스트레스 인자에 따라 다양한 수명특성을 보인다. LED제품은 주로 온도에 의해 예측된 수명에 미치지 못하는 경우가 일반적이므로 온도제어부의 성능평가는 수명시험 이전에 수행되어야 한다. 본 연구는 철도차량용 LED전조등의 수명시험 장치의 온도제어부 시작품을 제작하고 성능시험 결과를 바탕으로 타당성을 검증한다.

  • 태양광 또는 풍력을 이용해 발생된 에너지를 효율적으로 저장과 사용을 위한 납 축전지의 성능을 향상 시키기 위해 전해액을 Semi-gel화 하여 납축전지에 적용하여 시험한 결과, 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. Semi-gel 전해액은 silica를 5wt.% 혼합한 전해액이 1시간 30분경과 시 gel화가 시작되었다. 이는 전해액이 격리판과 극판 활물질 내부까지 완전히 스며들기에 충분한 시간으로 가장 적정한 gel화 시간을 나타내었다. Semi-gel 전해액을 사용한 납축전지와 액상 전해액을 사용한 납축전지의 방전 성능을 비교한 결과, 저율방전 성능은 semi-gel전해액이, 고율방전 성능은 액상 전해액이 높은 성능을 나타내었다. 이는 gel 전해액의 경우 액상 전해액에 비해 반응속도가 느려 고율방전 성능이 낮은 것으로 나타내었다. 수명성능을 DOD 10%, DOD 100%로 시험한 결과, 5%-silica 전해액이 액상 전해액을 사용한 납축전지에 비해 우수한 수명 성능을 나타내었다. 이는 Semi-gel상 태의 전해액이 납축전지 내부 화학반응 시 발생하는 gas의 재결합 효율을 높여 전해액 감액량이 최소화로 한 결과로 수명성능에서 큰 차이를 나타내었다. 태양광, 풍력 등과 같은 에너지 저장 효율을 높이고, 수명성능을 향상시키기 위해 전해액에 5%-silica전해액을 사용하면 전해액의 감액량이 최소로 되어 DOD 100% 수명시험의 경우 4.8%, DOD 10% 수명시험의 경우 20%의 수명성능이 향상되었다.

  • 핵분열로 인해 생성되는 방사성 노블가스는 주변국의 핵활동을 감시할 수 있는 중요한 지표 핵종이다. 특히 제논은 생성량이 많고 반감기가 짧아 핵실험 탐지에 적합하며 크립톤은 핵연료 재처리 탐지의 추적자로 활용되고 있다. 방출된 방사성 노블가스는 막대한 대기에 희석되어 농도가 감소하고 일부는 시간에 따라 방사능이 감쇠하기 때문에 대기 중에는 매우 극미량으로 존재하게 된다. 따라서 측정을 통해 의미 있는 데이터를 얻기 위해서는 가능한 낮은 수준의 MDA를 설정하는 것이 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 방사성 제논과 크립톤을 동시 포집 할 수 있는 장비인 BfS-IAR시스템을 활용하여 이론을 통해 MDA를 산출하였다. 또한 MDA 산출방식의 변화, 신뢰수준의 정도는 물론 계측 조건의 변화에 따른 영향을 확인하고 MDA를 저감하기 위한 방안들을 모색하였다. 그 결과 배경농도가 극미량인 제논의 경우 전처리과정의 효율화와 안정적인 계측 성능유지가 가장 중요한 요소로 판단되었으며, 크립톤의 경우 제논과 달리 시료의 방사능이 높기 때문에 MDA 재설정을 통한 분석조건이나 시스템 최적화를 통해 효율적인 분석을 수행할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

  • This study was conducted to determine the LCC of apartment complexes with district heating and a cogeneration system. For the purpose of analyzing LCC according to the size of the apartment complex, 500, 1,500, and 4,000-unit model apartments were selected. Analysis was performed on the design of the heating system and the life cycle cost including total construction cost, maintenance and operation cost for the duration of the project period (15 years). According to the calculated results, 1) The initial cost of the cogeneration system for 500, 1,500, and 4,000-unit apartments is higher than that of the district heating system by 20%, 13%, and 12%, respectively. 2) In the case of the cogeneration system, the payback period by electric generation was found to be 5.21, 4.92 and 4.47 years, and saving cost was calculated to be 29 billion won, 94 billion won and 262 billion won after the payback period for 500, 1,500, and 4,000-unit apartments, respectively. 3) The LCC values of the cogeneration system were 1.12, 1.07 and 1.06 times larger than those of the district system according to the size of the apartment complex. In this study, the district heating system was found to be more efficient than the cogeneration system in terms of LCC reduction. 4) District heating is affected by fuel bills, so energy efficiency should be improved through recovering waste heat (incineration heat, etc.). Also, district cooling should be provided according to heat use to keep the temperature high in winter and low in summer.

  • BIM(Building Information Modeling) based design process can initiatively conduct a task through all phases from early design step to construction and maintenance step. Also BIM efficiently manage the building's energy by reflecting 3D design and construction life cycle. This paper proposes an efficient process to build AHU's BIM-based library. This study involves analyzing an AHU model for development of design module, and making the template model using the same 12 parts including the shapes of ducts, doors and frames. In consideration of each shape's direction and the status of existence, which are detailed shapes of parts upon making the template model, all the shapes of the AHU model can be expressed. By applying parametric modeling to the template model, a quick and precise modification and transformation can be conducted, thus the efficiency is enhanced. A user selects an AHU model from a 2D model selection program, and extracts shape information. The final AHU shape is completed through the automation work of unnecessary shape deletion by bringing the extracted shape information to the template model. This enables the user to build efficient AHU's BIM-based library, since the quick and precise modification and transformation of the template model are possibile, and all AHU model shapes can be expressed.
