본 연구에서는 고체산화물연료전지에서 사용되고 있는 전해질의 직접탄소연료전지로의 적용가능성을 평가하기 위해 YSZ 전해질의 특성을 평가하였다. 전해질 층은 진공 슬러리 코팅 법을 사용하여 연료극 지지체위에 형성하였으며, 코팅 후 $1,400^{\circ}C$에서 5시간 동안 열처리하여 미세조직, 가스투과도 및 이온 전도도 측정을 통해 직접탄소연료전지로의 적용가능성을 확인하였다. YSZ 전해질은 얇고 치밀한 층을 형성하였으며 낮은 가스 투과도 값을 나타내었다. 이와같은 결과를 바탕으로 직접탄소 연료전지에 YSZ 전해질을 적용하였으며, 단위전지를 제작하여 $800^{\circ}C$에서 성능평가를 수행하였다.

Industrialization and development of technology satisfied various humanly needs and lay the basis of numerous benefit and profit. New technologies like these mostly required large amounts of fossil Fuel, Fossil energy depletion rate was increasing rapidly. However, technical development for Human race required absolute sacrifice of the environment. Especially, 'City' which had been focused as stage of human activities, allowed to continue to have fossil energy dependent activities, and it shows in many data that the city is responsible for the 75-80% of the green house gas by human. In order to solve the problem relating climate changes and energy, European countries already made progress studies on many of the low carbon green city and pilot case construction. Especially, Germany, Austria, Holland, Sweden who had been playing leader role on environmental awareness and ecological concept, are actively constructing low carbon green city project based on Ecological city planning scheme. These projects positively utilize planning scheme that limits carbon emission using Urban Metabolism concept. Therefore, throughout this study, I would like to present planning and direction of future domestic low carbon green city by analyzing theories relative theories and best practices in Europe.

The development of proton exchange membrane fuel cells(PEMFCs) with high energy efficiencies and high power densities is gaining momentum because their performance characteristics are attractive for terrestrial(power sources for electrical vehicles, stand-by power), space and underwater application[1]. Fuel cells are capable of running on non-petroleum fuels such as methanol, natural gas or hydrogen and also have major impact on improving air quality. They virtually eliminate particulates, NO$_{x}$, SO$_{x}$, and significant reduce hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide. Especially, fuel cell-battery hybrid power sources appear to be well suited to overcome both the so-called battery problem(low energy density) and the fuel cell problem(low power density)[2].[2].

KOGAS(Korea Gas Corporation) uses two-type vaporizers to send customers natural gas with imported LNG. In winter season, SMVs(SubMerged combustion Vaporizers) are mainly operated due to low seawater temperature. SMVs consume the natural gas of 1,520 $Nm^3/hr$ and emit a lot of $CO_2$ in winter time. If carbon taxes are activated on climate change, the tax burden will be severely heavy. Accordingly this work carried out numerical simulation with a commercail CFX code to investigate its possibility on the practical use of pure oxygen combustion of SMVs to reduce $CO_2$ and to improve its efficiency. First, a nozzle of a SMV's combustor is modelled. The combustion characteristics of Air/Fuel and Oxygen/Fuel are analyzed under folly insulated condition. Although we couldn't find the carbon reduction and the efficient elevation when the pure oxygen/fuel type was compared to the existing air/fuel one, we need a further study to investigate the effect of $CO_2$ recirculation.

Carbon fiber/epoxy composites are typical brittle materials and have low impact properties. Recently, it is important to investigate impact characteristics of carbon fiber composites because of increasing use as automobile parts and high pressure hydrogen vessels of fuel cell electric vehicles for light weight. In this study, the low velocity impact properties of carbon fiber/epoxy composites fabricated by a filament winding method are studied. The low velocity impact properties were measured by performing tests according to ASTM D7136. The low velocity impact simulations were carried out using commercial structural analysis software, Abaqus. The absorbed energy and the delamination shapes were compared between the experimental and simulation results. The numerical analysis method showed that the absorbed energy decreased with the reduced number of cohesive elements in the composite models.

국제해사기구(IMO)는 온난화의 원인인 온실가스 감축을 위한 강제 규제를 도입하여 시행을 하고 있다. 하지만 여전히 지구의 온난화는 진행 중에 있고, IMO는 빠른 시일 내에 SEEMP와 EEOI에 기반한 자발적인 이산화탄소 감축 방법을 강제화 하려는 움직임이 있다. 연료 및 이산화탄소 절감을 위해 대형 컨테이너 선박은 낮은 속도에서 운항을 결정하였다. 하지만 높은 선속으로 설계되어진 선수 구조는 오히려 선속 저하 때는 저항으로 작용하여 연료 절감 효과를 저해하는 현상을 발견하였다. 대형 컨테이너 선박의 저속화를 위해 선수 구상부를 개조하여 더욱더 높은 연료 절감을 시행하였다. 고속 대형선의 저속 운항에 적합한 선수 개조가 얼마나 효율적으로 운항선 에너지효율지수를 변하게 하는지를 개조 전후의 연료 소비량을 비교 검토하였다. 그 결과 예상했던 것보다 많은 이산화탄소 감축량을 확인하였다. 운항선 이산화탄소 감축 강제 규제가 시행된다면 고속선들의 연료 절감 방법의 하나로 효과적인 적용 방법으로 고려되어진다. 또한 연료절감형 운항 선박에 투자하여 에너지 효율적인 선박으로 운항하기 위한 것이다.

Nowadays, emissions of a vehicle are been getting by testing on a chassis dynamometer and a test modes. Also, fuel efficiency is calculated by carbon-balance method that is applying the emissions(CO, THC and $CO_2$) to the fuel calculation formular. In Korea, before 2014, the formular did not include the fuel factors (density, net heat value and carbon weight fraction), but the constants were based on the fuel properties of 2000s. So, this formular did not consider a characteristic of test fuel property that was changed when progressing fuel efficiency test. The characteristics of test fuel property which was distributed in domestic have a difference of quality depending on production regions and oil-refining facilities. Because the fuel properties are variable value during refineries, crude oils and blending contents of a bio-fuel, vehicle fuel is changed for each test. Therefore, the fuel qualities need to apply for a fuel economy test. In this paper, changing patterns of a fuel properties were reviewed during history of fuel standards. Also, the appropriateness of the methods was discussed by calculating and comparing fuel economies with the fuel factors and the constants.

본 연구에서는 SN(Swirl Number)는 같지만 코어부와 스월러부의 질량유량비(m)가 다른 저선회 노즐 2종을 설계하여 상압 연소성능 시험을 수행하였다. 각 노즐에 대해 단열화염온도에 따른 연소성능 실험을 수행하였고 화염구조 특성, NOx 배출 특성, 연소진동 모드를 파악하였다. 화염구조가 크게 차이가 있었지만 CO 배츨 특성은 유사하였고 NOx 배출 특성도 화염구조보다는 연소진동과 더 큰 관련성이 있음을 보였다. 연료노즐의 위치를 변경하여 대류지연시간을 조절하면서 연소진동 및 NOx 배출 특성을 파악하였는데 대류지연시간이 연소진동 주기의 (3+4n)/4±1/4 (n=0,1,2,...) 영역에 들어올 때 진소진동이 강하게 나타나고 반대의 경우는 연소진동이 아주 약하게 발생함을 확인하였다.

Bipolar plates require some specific properties such as electrical conductivity, mechanical strength, chemical stability, and low permeability for the fuel cell application. This study investigated the effects of carbon nanotube (CNT) contents and process conditions of hot press molding on the electrical and physical properties using CNT 3~7 wt% added graphite nano-composites in the curing temperatures range of 140~$200^{\circ}C$ and pressure of 200~300 kg/$cm^2$. Bulk density, hardness and flexural strength increased with increasing CNT contents, curing pressure and temperature. With the 7 wt% CNT added noncomposite, the electrical resistance improved by 30% and the flexural strength increased by 25% as compared to that without CNT at the temperature of $160^{\circ}C$ and pressure of 300 kg/$cm^2$. These properties were close to the DOE reference criteria as bulk resistance of 13 $m{\Omega}cm$ and tensile strength of 515 kg/$cm^2$.

In this paper, new concept of the diesel fuel processing is introduced for the stable operation of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). Heavier hydrocarbons than $CH_4$, such as ethylene, ethane, propane, and etc., induce the carbon deposition on anode of SOFCs. In the reformate of heavy hydrocarbons (diesel, gasoline, kerosene, and JP-8), concentration of ethylene is usually higher than low hydrocarbons such as ethane, propane, and butane. So, removal of low hydrocarbons (over C1-hydrocarbons), especially ethylene, at the reformate gases is important for stable operation of SOFCs. New methodology as named "post-reformer" is introduced for removing the low hydrocarbons at the reformate gas stream. Catalyst of the NECS-PR4 is selected for post-reforming catalyst because the catalyst of NECS-PR4 shows the high selectivity for removing low hydrocarbons and achieving the high reforming efficiency. The diesel reformer and post-reformer are continuously operated for about 200 hours as integrated mode. The reforming performance is not degraded and low hydrocarbons in the diesel reformate are completely removed.
