본 연구에서는 역전기투석 장치 내 스페이서(spacer)에 의한 유동변화와 스페이서의 높이변화에 따른 해수의 유동 및 이온전달 영향에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 육각형 모양의 스페이서에 대해 3차원 전산유체해석을 진행하였다. 모델링을 수행한 결과, 레이놀즈수(Reynolds number)가 커짐에 따라 스월량(swirl)이 커지며 단위시간당 해수의 이온이 멤브레인(membrane)으로 전달되는 양이 늘어나지만, 반면에 입출구의 압력차도 증가하였다. 또한 스페이서가 두꺼울수록 파워수(Power number)와 셔우드수(Sherwood number)가 증가하였다.

Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are regarded as a promising alternative to replace the existing automotive power sources. To get high performance and long-term durability for PEMFC systems, novel water management is essential. To this end, a comprehensive understanding of dynamics of the liquid water droplets within an operating PEMFC plays an important role. In this work, direct visualization of dynamic behaviors of the water droplet in the ex situ unit flow channel of a PEMFC including gas diffusion layer (GDL) is carried out as one of the fundamental studies for novel water management. Water droplet dynamics such as the movement and growth of liquid water droplets are mainly presented. Effects of GDL characteristics and inlet air flow rate on the water droplet transport and its removal from the flow channel are also discussed. The data obtained in this study can contribute to build up the fundamental operating strategy including balanced water removal capacity for automotive PEMFC systems.

물 중의 미량 수은 화합물을 분리분석하기 위해 초고분자량 폴리에텔렌 막 필터를 이용한 신속 농축방법을 개발하였다. 디티존이 침윤된 폴리에텔렌 막 필터에 시료를 통과시켜 시료 중의 수은을 디티존 착물로서 추출하고, 초음파를 이용해 메탄을 용매상에 회수함으로써 간단하게 농축하였다. 회수된 수은 디티존 착물은 $C_{18}$ 분리관을 이용하여 액체크로마토그래피에 의해 분리하였다. 0.05 M 아세테이트 완충용액(pH 4)과 THF/메탄올(3:5:2)의 혼합액을 이동상으로 사용하여 무기수은과 메틸-, 에틸-, 페닐- 등의 유기수은이 완전 분리되었다. 분리된 수은 착물은 475 nm의 파장에서 검출하였다. 이 방법을 폐수시료에 응용한 결과 ng/mL이하 수준의 검출한계로서 수은 화합물의 분리분석이 가능함을 확인하였다.

소형 이송형 고분자전해질 연료전지 (PEMFC)에 많이 사용되는 cathode 개방형 PEMFC 스택은 내구성이 약한 문제점이 있다. 13개의 셀로 이루어진 PEMFC 스택의 가속 내구성 평가를 통해 스택의 열화 원인을 찾고 cathode 개방형 스택의 내구성 향상에 기여하고자 하였다. Cathode가 대기에 개방되어 있고, 기밀 유지가 어려운 cathode 개방형 스택의 구조적 문제점 때문에 시동/정지 (SU/SD)시 수소/공기 경계가 형성되어 cathode를 열화시킨다. 본 연구에서는 cathode 개방형 스택에 SU/SD 1,800회 반복 후 초기 성능의 54%가 감소하여 비교적 짧은 시간에 내구성을 평가할 수 있었다. 스택 해체 후 각 셀을 2등분하여 성능분석하였다. 전체적으로 공기 유입이 용이한 anode 출구부 MEA가 유입부 MEA보다 전극 열화가 더 심해서 SU/SD시 수소/공기 경계 형성이 주요 열화 원인임을 확인했다.

We proposed an MEA development methodology that accurately measures intrinsic MEA performance while considering the uneven reaction environments formed inside a large-area BP. To facilitate measurement of the inherent MEA performance, we miniaturized the active area of the MEA to 3 cm², and prepared two MEAs with different ionomer contents of 0.65 and 0.80 (I/C). By simulating the operating conditions of a 100 cm² BP at the inlet (I), center (C), and outlet (O), the oxygen concentration and relative humidity were determined to be 20.7, 13.8, 11.7%, and 50, 66.1, and 70.1% respectively. We measured the performance and electrochemical analysis of the prepared MEAs under the three simulated conditions. Based on the results of statistical analysis of the evaluated MEA performance data, I/C 0.65 MEA had a higher average performance and lower performance deviation than I/C 0.80 MEA. Hence, it can be concluded that an I/C 0.65 MEA is a more effective MEA for large-area BP. Based on the above research process, we confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed MEA development methodology.

Generally, a coolant of the nuclear power plant is manufactured by electrolyzing the sea water near the plant for making the sodium hypochlorite(NaOCl), which is used for sterilizing the bacteria and the shellfishes sticking to the drains or the pumps at the outlet of the cooling system due to $8-10^{\circ}C$ warmer temperature than the inlet sea water. During manufacturing the sodium hypochlorite, the hydrogen with the high purity is also produced at the anode side of the electrolyzer. This paper describes a novel power plant system combined with the polymer electrolyte membrane(PEM) fuel cell, the wasted hydrogen from the sea water electrolyzer and the wasted heat of the nuclear power plant. The present status over the exhausted hydrogen at twenty nuclear power plants in Korea was investigated in this study, from which an available power generation is estimated. Furthermore, the economic feasibility of the PEM fuel cell power plant is also evaluated by a current regulations over the power production and exchange using a renewable energy shown in Korea Power Exchange(KRX).

An experimental study on the removal of VOCs gas using a biomembrane reactor were carried out at various inlet gas concentration, specific loading rate, retention time and gas flow rate of volume. The variations of efficiency and various parameters, which are relevant to gas removal, with mixing of soluble gas and without have been discussed. More than 95% of the toluene and methanol present in the feed was successfully removed in each study. The elimination of methanol with mixture of soluble compound of about 300 mg/h corresponds to a portion of 21% if there is a feed stream of 1400 mg/h. On the contrary the maximum efficiency of about 72% of toluene was reached. This is to be rated as a treatment of sorption that the limiting factor of the dismantling speed could be represented by this difficult degradable component. Nevertheless the elimination capacities for this reactor for toluene were on a very high level. For substances which show a very high solubility in silicon rubber an advantage of a bio membrane is clearly shown. Therefore a similarly good result is expected for n-hexane, because of its relatively good permeability which was distinguished during permeation experiments.

Recently, we developed a simple thermopneumatic micropump having neither a membrane nor a valve. This micropump discharges liquid by a thermopneumatic pressure and refill by a capillary attraction. In case of the micropump driven by the capillary attraction, the flow characteristic depends mainly on the geometry of the micropump. In this paper, we investigated the influence of the geometry of the micropump on the performance of the micropump to illustrate the properness of the micropump shape. We analyzed the micropump characteristics of six types having different geometries by FVM simulation with a commercial CFD tool. Also we fabricated the micropumps with PDMS and glass by micromachining, and tested the performances. The simulation and the test results illustrate that the discharge volume and the discharge time depend on the chamber volume. The expansion angle of the inlet channel location has influence on the refill time, while the front air channel direction has influence on the backward flow loss.

Various prosthetic heart valves have been developed and used clinically, but they have problems, such as thrombogenecity, hemoltsis, high cost and low durability. New types of trileaflet polymer heart valves have been developed in order to use them as inlet and outlet valves in a ventricular assist device. The aim of this study is to determine the hydrodynamic effectiveness of the newly designed trileaflet polymer valves and their feasibility for temporary use in the blood pumps. Trileaflet polymer valves are made of polyurethane, because of its good blood compatibility, high tonsil strength and good resistance to fatigue. An in vitro experimental investigation was perf'ormed in order to ev91ua1e hydrodynamic performance of the trileaflet polymer valves having different design and fabrication tech- niques. The St. Jude Medical valve (SJMV) and floating-type monoleaflet polymer valve (MLPV) were also tested The pressure drop across the valve, leakage volume, and the flow patterns mere investigated for valves. The result of comparative tests showed that the trileaflet polymer valves had a better hydrodynamic performance than the others. TPV which has two stable membrane shape showed the lowest back flow. The pressure hops of TPVs were lower than that of MLPV, but slightly higher than SJMV. The hydrodynamic performance of valves under the pulastile flow showed the similar results as steady flow. The velocity profiles and turbulent intensities were measured at the distal sites of valves using a hot-film anemometer. Central flow was maintained in trileaflet polymer valves, and the maximum turbulent intensities were lower in TPVs comparing to MLPV.
