  • This study investigates the response of functionally graded (FG) gas pipe under unsteady internal pressure and temperature. The pipe is proposed to be manufactured from FGMs rather than custom carbon steel, to reduce the erosion, corrosion, pressure surge and temperature variation effects caused by conveying of gases. The distribution of material graduations are obeying power and sigmoidal functions varying with the pipe thickness. The sigmoidal distribution is proposed for the 1st time in analysis of FG pipe structure. A Two-dimensional (2D) plane strain problem is proposed to model the pipe cross-section. The Fourier law is applied to describe the heat flux and temperature variation through the pipe thickness. The time variation of internal pressure is described by using exponential-harmonic function. The proposed problem is solved numerically by a two-dimensional (2D) plane strain finite element ABAQUS software. Nine-node isoparametric element is selected. The proposed model is verified with published results. The effects of material graduation, material function, temperature and internal pressures on the response of FG gas pipe are investigated. The coupled temperature and displacement FEM solution is used to find a solution for the stress displacement and temperature fields simultaneously because the thermal and mechanical solutions affected greatly by each other. The obtained results present the applicability of alternative FGM materials rather than classical A106Gr.B steel. According to proposed model and numerical results, the FGM pipe is more effective in natural gas application, especially in eliminating the corrosion, erosion and reduction of stresses.

  • In this paper, two different types of natural gas liquefaction process are simulated and designed for secure a competitiveness in the industry of natural gas liquefaction plant. These processes are based on basic cascade process, and one of these is improved with two staged intercooler and the other is modified two staged intercooler. These processes are compared characteristics of performance with basic process. COP of cascade process with two staged intercooler and modified two staged intercooler showed about 13.74% and 21.64% higher than basic process, and yield efficiency of modified process improved comparing with the basic process by 25.93% lower specific power, respectively.

  • Process gas piping is one of the most basic components frequently used in the refinery and petrochemical plants. Many kinds of by-product gas have been used as fuel in the process plants. In some plants, natural gas is additionally introduced and mixed with the byproduct gas for upgrading the fuel. In this case, safety or design margin of the changed piping system of the plant should be re-evaluated based on a proper design code such as ASME or API codes since internal pressure, temperature and gas compositions are different from the original plant design conditions. In this study, series of piping stress analysis were conducted for a process piping used for transporting the mixed gas of the by-product gas and the natural gas from a mixing drum to a knock-out drum in a refinery plant. The analysed piping section had been actually installed in a domestic industry and needed safety audit since the design condition was changed. Pipe locations of the maximum system stress and displacement were determined, which can be candidate inspection and safety monitoring points during the upcoming operation period. For studying the effects of outside air temperature to safety the additional stress analysis were conducted for various temperatures in $0{\sim}30^{\circ}C$. Effects of the friction coefficient between the pipe and support were also investigated showing a proper choice if the friction coefficient is important. The maximum system stresses were occurred mainly at elbow, tee and support locations, which shows the thermal load contributes considerably to the system stress rather than the internal pressure or the gravity loads.

  • 산업의 발전과 생활 수준의 향상으로 인하여 전 세계적으로 천연가스의 사용량은 지속해서 증가하고 있으며, 이에 따른 발전소, 저장시설, 공급배관망 확충 등 관련 산업시설도 지속해서 증가하고 있다. 천연가스는 편리하고 환경오염이 없는 청정연료이지만 누출로 인한 사고 발생 시, 인명피해는 물론 대규모 재산상 손해, 지구 온실효과에 부정적인 영향을 초래한다. 중대재해 처벌 등에 관한 법률 등도 무거운 상황에서 더더욱 안전을 기해야 할 상황이다. 이에 레이저 기반 흡수 분광분석법의 원리를 적용하여 최대 거리 30m에서 누출되는 메탄 농도를 검출할 수 있는 원거리 휴대용 메탄 누출 가스 검지 시스템을 개발하여 그 효과성을 검증하였다.

  • In Japan, research and development were undertaken on gas hydrate-side industrial processes associated with power generation system connections that may particularly be necessary to develop gas hydrated technology-based industrial systems. In so doing, data and engineering technologies useful n formulating guidelines on design of practical process were accumulated. In addition, basic research into theoretical evidence were carried out to promote and support the development of technological elements for those processes. In basic research designed to promote and support the research and development of elemental technologies, microanalyses were conducted to understand the decomposition mechanism of mixed gas hydrate. Moreover, measurement technologies that can be applied in industrial processes, such as numerical analyses and concentration measurement, were examined. Japan has developed a highly efficient gas hydrate formation process using micro-bubbles with a tubular reactor. Higher formation rate over conventional systems has been obtained by the process. As mentioned above, the technical problems were clarified and the economics were studied from a view point of the NGH technology in this study. The results can be applied for utilization and must contribute to popularization of gas hydrate production.

  • Gas transport through graphene-derived membranes has gained much interest recently due to its promising potential in filtration and separation applications. In this work, we explore Kr-85 gas radionuclide sequestration from natural air in nanoporous graphene oxide membranes in which different sizes and geometries of pores were modeled on the graphene oxide sheet. This was done using atomistic simulations considering mean-squared displacement, diffusion coefficient, number of crossed species of gases through nanoporous graphene oxide, and flow through interlayer galleries. The results showed that the gas features have the densest adsorbed zone in nanoporous graphene oxide, compared with a graphene membrane, and that graphene oxide was more favorable than graphene for Kr separation. The aim of this paper is to show that for the well-defined pore size called P-7, it is possible to separate Kr-85 from a gas mixture containing Kr-85, O2 and N2. The results would benefit the oil industry among others.

  • 산업의 발달에 따른 영향으로 에너지수요가 증가함에 따라 국내에는 에너지 산업시설(저장시설, 고압가스 배관, 충전소, 탱크로리 등)이 전국에 산재하게 되었고 사용하는 에너지의 종류도 과거 한정된 자원이 아닌 다양한 에너지원을 사용하게 되었다. 이러한 에너지시설에는 화재, 폭발 및 유독물질 누출 등 중대사고가 발생할 수 있다. 더욱이 국내의 에너지시설은 밀집되어 있어 연쇄적인 사고가 일어날 가능성이 존재한다. 이 연구에서는 기존에 설치 운영되고 있는 LPG(liquefied petroleum gas) 및 가솔린(gasoline) 충전소와 LNG(liquefied natural gas) 충전소에 대한 피해예측을 실시하고 이를 비교 분석 함으로써 국내에서 처음 시도되고 있는 가솔린 주유소 및 LPG/LNG 충전소가 병설되어 설치되는 경우의 안전성을 검토하고자 한다.

  • 미국이 이란에 대한 1차 제재를 제외한 나머지 경제제재를 해제함에 따라 이란은 글로벌 자동차기업들의 해외직접투자 대상으로 급부상했다. 이 연구는 이런 배경에서 한국의 자동차산업이 이란에 진출하는 방법에 대한 전략적 제안을 하고 있다. 이를 위해 이란의 자동차산업과 이란의 특징에 대해 먼저 탐구하였으며, 시장 상황에 대한 정량적 정성적 분석을 하고 있다. 승용차부문에서, 한국의 완성차기업들은 미-이란 관계의 진전을 좀 더 지켜보면서 대신 CKD를 수출하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 보인다. 그러나 이란 정부가 CKD의 수출만으로는 만족하지 못할 것이므로, 부품회사들은 미리 진출시키는 것이 바람직할 것이다. 부품회사들의 경우에는 해외직접투자, 라이센스 방식의 진출, 그리고 합작기업의 형태가 모두 가능하다. 이를 통해 자동차기업들은 부품현지화 비율 규제를 만족시킬 수 있다. 이렇게 투자한 부품회사들은 나중에 조건이 호전되어 완성차기업들이 진출했을 때 현지의 서플라이 체인 구축에 핵심역할을 하게 될 것이다. 또 이란에 구축하게 될 자동차 생산기반은 이란을 넘어서 중동-북아프리카 지역의 수출전략기지화 하는 것도 제안할 수 있다. 수출기지화 한다면 동유럽에 구축된 생산기반과 역할 분담 모델이 필요할 것이다. 이런 전략은 전체적으로 보면 부품우선진출 전략이라고 할 수 있을 것이다. 상용차부문의 경우, 천연가스산업을 이란에 진출하는 전략적 고리로 사용할 것을 제안한다. 이란 정부는 천연자원 개발을 강력하게 희망하고 있다. 따라서 완성차기업들은 CNG버스를 생산하고 에너지기업들은 천연가스를 시굴 생산하는 연계진출 방안이다.
