This paper investigates the combustion and emission characteristics of a compression ignition engine fueled with neat and blended Shell's gas-to-liquid (GTL) fuel, which was derived from natural gas through the Fischer-Tropsch process. The experiments were conducted in a 6-cylinder DI diesel engine with pump timing settings of $6^{\circ},\;9^{\circ}\;and\;12^{\circ}$crank angle before TDC over ECE R49 and US 13-mode cycles separately and compared to a conventional diesel fuel. The results show that GTL exhibited almost the same power and torque output, improved fuel economy and effective thermal efficiency. It was found that GTL displayed lower peak in-cylinder combustion pressure and maximum heat release rate (HRR), the timings of the peak pressure and the maximum HRR were generally delayed, and the combustion durations were almost equivalent for diesel and GTL under the same speed-load condition. The results also indicate that, compared to diesel fuel, GTL blends showed a trend forward decreasing four regulated emissions simultaneously and a higher GTL fraction in blends contributing to further reductions in the emissions. In particular and on average, neat GTL significantly reduced HC, CO, NOx and PM by 16.4%, 17.8%, 18.3% and 32.4%, respectively, for all cases.

CNG 충전소에 대한 사고영향평가(CA) 분석을 실시하였고 이미 고압법에 의해 설치되어 있는 LPG 충전소에 대한 CA를 실시하여 서로 비교하였다. CNG 충전소와 LPG 충전소에 대한 누출 확산 및 복사열의 영향평가 결과 연소하한계에 도달하는 거리는 CNG 충전소가 LPG 충전소에 비해 약 1.5배 컸으며, 복사열의 경우 공정장치에 손상을 줄 수 있는 복사열량이 CNG 충전소에서는 나타나지 않았으나 LPG 충전소의 경우 37.5 $kw/m^2$에 해당하는 복사열이 12.6 m 반경으로 나타나 주변의 상가지역까지 큰 영향을 미칠 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 목재를 태울 수 있을 정도의 복사열량인 12.5 $kw/m^2$은 LPG 충전소가 CNG 충전소에 비해 약 3배 가량 큰 것으로 나타났다.

Anaerobic digestion(AD) has successfully been used for many applications that have conclusively demonstrated its ability to recycle biogenic wastes. AD has been successfully applied in industrial waste water treatment, stabilsation of sewage sludge, landfill management and recycling of biowaste and agricultural wastes as manure, energy crops. During AD, i.e. organic materials are decomposed by anaerobic forming bacteria and fina1ly converted to excellent fertilizer and biogas which is primarily composed of methane(CH4) and carbon dioxide(CO2) with smaller amounts of hydrogen sulfide(H2S) and ammonia(NH3), trace gases such as hydrogen(H2), nitrogen(N2), carbon monoxide(CO), oxygen(O2) and contain dust particles and siloxanes. The production and utilisation of biogas has several environmental advantages such as i)a renewable energy source, ii)reduction the release of methane to the atomsphere, iii)use as a substitute for fossil fuels. In utilisation of biogas, most of biogas produced from small scale plant e.g. farm-scale AD plant are used to provide as energy source for cooking and lighting, in most of the industrialised countries for energy recovery, environmental and safety reasons are used in combined heat and power(CHP) engines or as a supplement to natural. In particular, biogas to use as vehicle fuel or for grid injection there different biogas treatment steps are necessary, it is important to have a high energy content in biogas with biogas purification and upgrading. The energy content of biogas is in direct proportion to the methane content and by removing trace gases and carbon dioxide in the purification and upgrading process the energy content of biogas in increased. The process of purification and upgrading biogas generates new possibilities for its use since it can then replace natural gas, which is used extensively in many countries, However, those technologies add to the costs of biogas production. It is important to have an optimized purification and upgrading process in terms of low energy consumption and high efficiency giving high methane content in the upgraded gas. A number of technologies for purification and upgrading of biogas have been developed to use as a vehicle fuel or grid injection during the passed twenty years, and several technologies exist today and they are continually being improved. The biomethane which is produced from the purification and the upgrading process of biogas has gained increased attention due to rising oil and natural gas prices and increasing targets for renewable fuel quotes in many countries. New plants are continually being built and the number of biomethane plants was around 100 in 2009.

본 논문은 지역집단 냉방에너지 공급시스템과 환경보호정책에 관한 융합기술을 에너지절약과 미이용 에너지인 냉열자원의 활용성을 함께 다루고 있다. 지역집단 냉 난방 시스템은 에너지를 절약하고, 비용을 절감하며, 안전성을 확보할 수 있는 효과적인 기술이다. 에너지가 생활수준의 향상에 긍정적인 영향을 주기 위해서는 에너지 절약과 환경보호정책을 균형감 있게 고려해야 한다. 냉열에너지는 LNG를 기화하는 과정에서 생산할 수 있지만, 바다의 심층수와 빙축열에서도 얻을 수 있다. 지역집단 냉방에너지는 아파트, 사무실, 공장설비 등에 냉열공급 파이프라인을 통하여 공급하게 된다. LNG 냉열에너지는 전기에너지와 냉매를 사용하여 작동하는 기존의 에어컨 시스템을 대체할 수 있는 경쟁력 높은 에너지이다. 청정에너지이고 운전비용을 줄이는 것으로 알려진 LNG 냉열은 $CO_2$와 같은 대기오염원과 자연환경에 유해한 냉매방출을 방지할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 LNG 냉열에너지의 사용과 에너지 절약, 그리고 환경보존에 중요한 영향을 미치는 융합기술에 대한 유익한 정보를 제공한다.

최근 대두되고 있는 바이오가스(Biogas)를 이중 희박 예혼합 가스터빈 연소기에 적용하기 위한 연구로써, 기존 개발된 실물형 이중 희박 예혼합 연소기 버너헤드에 바이오가스 조성을 모사한 $CO_2$ 희석 연료를 사용하여, 가스터빈 연소기의 연소불안정에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 이중 스월이 적용된 이중화염에서 연료분배율(Pilot fuel mass fraction)에 따라 화염구조가 상이하며 이에 따라 연소장의 온도분포와 연소불안정 특성이 결정된다. 동압신호와 phase-resolved $OH^*$ 이미지를 통해 연료분배율 변화와 $CO_2$ 희석률 증가에 따른 연소불안정 크기 감소와 그 경향을 알 수 있었다. $CO_2$ 희석에 의해 열방출 섭동의 크기가 감소하고 화염속도가 감소하며 이에 따라 화염면의 팽창 즉, 체적의 증가로 인해 연소불안정이 감소되는 것을 실험을 통해 확인하였다.

Bisphenol A is widely used in plastic and other industrial consumer products. Release of bisphenol A and its analogues into the aquatic environment during manufacture, use and disposal has been a great scientific and public concern due to their toxicity and endocrine disrupting effects on aquatic wildlife and even human beings. More recent studies have shown that these alkylphenols may affect the molting processes and survival of crustacean species such as American lobster, crab and shrimp. In this study, we have developed gas chromatography with flame ionization detection (GC-FID) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometric (GC-MS) methods for the determination of bisphenol A and its analogues in shrimp Macrobrachium rosenbergii, blue crab Callinectes sapidus and American lobster Homarus americanus samples. Bisphenol A, 2,4-bis-(dimethylbenzyl)phenol and 4-cumylphenol were found in shrimp in the concentration ranges of 0.67-5.51, 0.36-1.61, and < LOD (the limit of detection)-1.96 ng/g (wet weight), and in crab of 0.10-0.44, 0.13-0.62, and 0.26-0.58 ng/g (wet weight), respectively. In lobster tissue samples, bisphenol A, 2-t-butyl-4-(dimethylbenzyl)phenol, 2,6-bis-(t-butyl)-4-(dimethylbenzyl)phenol, 2,4-bis-(dimethybenzyl)phenol, 2,4-bis-(dimethylbenzyl)-6-t-butylphenol and 4-cumylphenol were determined at the concentration ranges of 4.48-7.01, 1.23-2.63, 2.71-9.10, 0.35-0.91, 0.64-3.25, and 0.44-1.00 ng/g (wet weight), respectively. At these concentration levels, BPA and its analogs may interfere the reproduction and development of crustaceans, such as larval survival, molting, metamorphosis and shell hardening.

Anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions are rising rapidly despite efforts to curb release of such gases. One long term potential solution to offset these destructive emissions is the capture and storage of carbon dioxide. Partially depleted hydrocarbon reservoirs are attractive targets for permanent carbon dioxide disposal due to proven storage capacity and seal integrity, existing infrastructure. Optimum well completion design in depleted reservoirs requires understanding of prominent geomechanics issues with regard to rock-fluid interaction effects. Geomechanics plays a crucial role in the selection, design and operation of a storage facility and can improve the engineering performance, maintain safety and minimize environmental impact. In this paper, an integrated geomechanics workflow to evaluate reservoir caprock integrity is presented. This method integrates a reservoir simulation that typically computes variation in the reservoir pressure and temperature with geomechanical simulation which calculates variation in stresses. Coupling between these simulation modules is performed iteratively which in each simulation cycle, time dependent reservoir pressure and temperature obtained from three dimensional compositional reservoir models in ECLIPSE were transferred into finite element reservoir geomechanical models in ABAQUS and new porosity and permeability are obtained using volumetric strains for the next analysis step. Finally, efficiency of this approach is demonstrated through a case study of oil production and subsequent carbon storage in an oil reservoir. The methodology and overall workflow presented in this paper are expected to assist engineers with geomechanical assessments for reservoir optimum production and gas injection design for both natural gas and carbon dioxide storage in depleted reservoirs.

An experimental study of the flame response in a turbulent premixed combustor has been conducted with room temperature, atmospheric pressure inlet conditions using premixed natural gas. The fuel is premixed with the air upstream of a choked inlet to avoid equivalence ratio fluctuations. Therefore the observed flame response is only the result of the imposed velocity fluctuations, which are produced using a variable speed siren. Measurements are made of the velocity fluctuation in the nozzle using hot wire anemometry and of the heat release fluctuation in the combustor using chemiluminescence emission. The results are analyzed to determine the phase and gain of the flame transfer function as a function of the modulation frequency. Of particular interest is the effect of flame structure on the flame response predictions and measurements. The results show that both the gain and the phase of flame transfer function are closely associated with the flame length and structure, which is dependent upon the upstream flow perturbation as well as equivalence ratio in the current study.

This paper describes an investigation of the performance and emission characteristics of a commercial cylinder direct injection diesel engine operating on natural gas with pilot diesel ignition. Engine tests for variations in the pilot injection timing were performed at an engine speed of 1500 rpm. This study showed that the performance of the dual-fuel diesel engine increased as the engine load increased and as the pilot diesel injection timing angle advanced. The peaks of cylinder pressure, pressure rise rate, and heat release rate all increased while the fuel ignition timing advanced with the pilot injection timing. The engine operation was stable, and the least smoke was produced at a pilot injection timing of $12^{\circ}$ before top dead center. NOx emissions were only exhausted under high-load conditions, and they increased as the pilot injection timing angle advanced.
