연소기기에서 연소반응과정이 일어날 때 연소로 내 고온의 온도 분위기에서 공기 중의 산소와 질소가 반응하여 질소산화물이 발생하게 된다. 발생한 질소산화물을 저감하기 위하여 화력발전소나 폐기물 소각로는 촉매를 이용한 탈질설비를 설치하고 있는데 이에 따른 설치와 유지비용이 많이 소요된다. 연소기기에서 질소산화물을 저감하기 위한 여러 가지 방법 중에 배기가스 재순환 방법이 널리 쓰이고 있다. 본 연구에서는 배기가스 재순환 배관에 코안다 노즐을 사용하여 배기가스를 재순환하는 재순환 버너에 대하여 전산유체해석을 통해 연구를 수행하였으며 냉간 유동에서 배기가스 재순환 유동 특성을 살펴보았고 코안다 노즐의 공기 측 간격 변화와 공기 유량 변화에 따른 배기가스 재순환 유량 특성을 살펴보았다. 본 연구의 버너 형상은 배기가스 재순환 흡입구와 출구는 원통 버너의 중심을 향하지 않고 접선 방향으로 설치되어 있어서 버너 내부에서 선회 유동이 형성 되었으며 이에 따라 원통 내부의 중심부분에 역류가 일어나는 특성을 관찰하였다. 또한, 코안다 노즐의 공기 측 간격은 0.5mm일 때는 배기가스 재순환 유량이 공기량 보다 약 2.5배 이었고 1.0mm일 때는 약 1.5배로 나타났으며 같은 공기 측 간격에서 공기량을 증가하면 배기가스 재순환 유량은 약간 증가하는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Crossover of nitrogen from cathode to anode is inevitable in typical membranes used in PEM fuel cells. This crossovered nitrogen normally accumulates in the hydrogen recirculation system at anode side channels. Excessive buildup of nitrogen in the anode side lowers the relative hydrogen concentration and finally affects the performance of fuel cell stack. So it is very important to analysis the nitrogen gas crossover at various operating conditions. In this study, characterization of nitrogen gas crossover in PEM fuel cell stack was investigated. The mass spectroscopy (MS) has been applied to measure the amount of the crossovered nitrogen gas at the anode exit. Results show that nitrogen gas crossover rate was affected by current density, anode and cathode stoichiometric ratio and operating pressure. Current density, anode stoichiometric ratio and anode operating pressure do not affect nitrogen crossover rate but anode exit concentration of nitrogen. Cathode pressure and stoichiometric ratio largely affect the nitrogen crossover rate.

Flue gas recirculation (FGR) is a method used to control oxides of nitrogen ($NO_x$) in combustion system. The recirculated flue gases resulted in slow reaction and low flame temperatures, which in turn resulted in decreased thermal NO production. Recently, it has been demonstrated that introducing the recirculated flue gas in the fuel stream, that is, the fuel induced recirculation (FIR), resulted in a much greater reduction in $NO_x$ per unit mass of recirculated gas, as compared to introducing the flue gases in air. In the present study, the effect on $NO_x$ reduction in turbulent swirl flame in laboratory scale using FGR/FIR methods through the dilution using $N_2$ and $CO_2$. Results. show the $CO_2$ dilution is more effective $NO_x$ reduction methods because of large temperature drop due to the larger specific heat $CO_2$ compared to $N_2$. FIR is more effective to reduce $NO_x$ emission than FGR when the same recirculation ratio of dilution gas.

Experimental study was conducted to investigate the effect of ultra-high injection pressure on combustion and emission characteristics in a single-cylinder diesel engine. Electronically controlled ultra-high pressure fuel injection system consistently supplied the fuel of ultra-high pressure up to 250 MPa. Various injection pressures, 40 to 250 MPa, were applied and compared. A injector with eight identical nozzle holes which have diameter of $105{\mu}m$ was used. The results showed high potential to improve the nitrogen oxide (NOx) and particulate matter (PM) trade-off relationship with an ultra-high injection pressure and the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR).

Objective: This study was conducted to determine reduction of various odorous materials from a swine farm equipped with a continuous pit recirculation system (CPRS) with aerobically treated liquid manure. Methods: The CPRS is used in swine farms in South Korea, primarily to improve air quality in pig houses. In this study, CPRS consists of a manure aerobic treatment system and a fit recirculation system; the solid fraction is separated and composted, whereas the aerobically treated liquid fraction (290.0%±21.0% per day of total stored swine slurry) is continuously returned to the pit. Four confinement pig barns in three piggery farms were used; two were equipped with CPRS and the other two operated a slurry pit under the slatted floor. Results: All chemical contents of slurry pit manure in the control were greater than those of slurry pit manure in the CRPS treatment (p<0.05). Electrical conductivity and pH contents did not differ among treatments. The biological oxygen demand of the slurry pit treatment was greater than that of the other treatments (p<0.05). Total nitrogen, total phosphorus, and ammonia nitrogen contents of the slurry pit treatment were greater than those of other treatments (p<0.05). Odor intensity of the CPRS treatment was lower than that of the control at indoor, exhaust, and outside sampling points (p<0.05). The temperature and carbon dioxide of the CPRS treatment in the pig barn was significantly lower than those of control (p<0.05). All measured odorous material contents of the CPRS group were significantly lower than those of the control group (p<0.05). Conclusion: The CPRS application in pig farms is considered a good option as it continuously reduces the organic load of animal manure and lowers the average odorant concentration below the threshold of detecting odorous materials.

The goal of this research is to understand the NOx emission in direct injected diesel engine with premixed hydrogen fuel. Hydrogen fuel was supplied into the test engine through the intake pipe. Amount of hydrogen-supplemented fuel was 70 % basis on heating value of the total input fuel. The effects of intake air temperature and exhaust gas recirculation(EGR) on NOx emission were studied. The intake air temperatures were varied from $23^{\circ}C$ to $0^{\circ}C$ by using liquid nitrogen. Also, the exhaust gas was recirculated to the intake manifold and the amount of exhaust gas was controlled by the valve. The major conclusions of this work include: ( i ) nitrogen concentrations in the intake pipe were increased by 30% and cylinder gas temperature was decreased by 24% as the intake air temperature were changed from $23^{\circ}C$ to $0^{\circ}C$; ( ii ) NOx emission per unit heating value of supplied fuel was decreased by 45% with same decrease of intake air temperature; and (iii) NOx emission was decreased by 77% with 30% of EGR ratio. Therefore, it may be concluded that EGR is effective method to lower NOx emission in hydrogen fueled engine.

Treatability tests were conducted using EMC process to study the feasibility of applying this process as recycling-water treatment system in high density seawater aquaculture farm. To study the effect of organic and ammonia nitrogen loading on system performance, hydraulic retention time of reactor was reduced gradually from 12hr to 10min. The conclusions are can be summarized as follows. When the system HRT was reduced from 12hr to 10 min gradually, there was little noticeable change(reduction) in ammonia nitrogen removal efficiencies until 2hr of HRT, however, removal efficiencies were decreased dramatically when the system was operated under the HRT of less than 2hr. In case of organics(COD), there was no dramatic deterioration in removal efficiencies depending on HRT reduction. More than 90% of removal efficiencies were maintained successfully when the system was operated at the HRT of 10 min. In case of system performance depending on media packing ratio in reactor, there was little difference in each reactor performance depending on media packing ratio in reactor when the reactors were operated under the HRT of longer than 1hr, however, differences in reactor performances were considerably evident when the reactors were operated under the HRT of shorter than 1hr. That is, the more reactor was packed, the better reactor performed. When comparing reactor performance among 25%, 50%, 75% packed reactor, it can be judged that media packing ratio more than 50% plays no significant role in increasing reactor performance. For this reason, packing the media less than 50% is more reasonable way in view of economic. Such a tendency well agreed with the variation of ammonia-nitrogen removal efficiencies according to the media packing ratio in reactors at each HRT. Difference in effluent ammonia-nitrogen concentration between 50% media packing reactor and 75% media packing reactor was negligible. When comparing with the results of 25% packing reactor, difference was not so great.

질소산화물은 최근에 초미세먼지 발생에 많은 영향을 주고 있어서 대기환경 개선 측면에서 사회적으로도 크게 관심이 되고 있다. 질소산화물은 주로 화력발전 등의 연소기기에서 고온의 연소가스 분위기에서 공기 중의 질소와 산소가 반응하여 발생한다. 이에 대한 저감 방법으로 원통형 버너에 코안다 노즐을 이용한 배관으로 배기가스를 재순환하는 연소에 대한 연구가 최근에 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 코안다 노즐을 사용하여 배기가스를 재순환하는 원통형 버너의 연소가스 출구의 위치를 오른쪽으로 하는 버너(Case 1 버너), 양쪽을 출구로 하는 버너(Case 2 버너), 왼쪽을 출구로 하는 버너(Case 3 버너) 형상에 대하여 전산유체해석을 통해 연구를 수행하였으며 연소 유동의 압력, 유선, 온도, 연소 반응 속도와 질소산화물의 분포 특성을 비교 분석하였다. 연소반응은 Case 1과 Case 2버너는 연소가스 재순환 유입구가 있는 오른쪽 방향으로 일어나고 Case 3 버너는 혼합가스 유입구 부근에서 일어나고 있었다. 출구에서의 온도는 Case 2버너가 양쪽으로 배출되면서 다른 버너 보다 약 $100^{\circ}C$ 정도 온도가 낮게 나타났으며 출구에서의 NOx 농도는 Case 1버너가 다른 형상 버너 보다 약 20배 크게 나타났다. 이로부터 NOx 저감을 위해서는 배기가스 재순환 버너의 출구는 양쪽으로 배출되게 하거나 연소가스 재순환 유입구 반대 방향으로 배출 되도록 하는 것이 효과적임을 알 수 있었다.

배기가스 재순환(flue gas recirculation, 이하 FGR)은 질소산화물 저감에 효과적인 연소 기법으로 저공해 연소 분야에 다양하게 응용되고 있다. 이전 연구에 이어서 메탄/공기 대향류 예혼합화염에 FGR 기법 적용 시 나타나는 화염의 특성 변화 및 NOx 생성기구를 파악하기 위한 수치해석이 진행되었다. 배출되는 질소산화물(NOx)은 4가지 주요 반응경로(열적 NO, prompt NO, N₂H 및 N₂O)로 구분하여 배기가스 재순환율에 따른 각 NO 생성률을 상대적으로 나타내었다. 그 결과 열적 NO가 전체 NO 형성에 가장 크게 차지한 반면 N₂H의 영향은 미미하였다. 또한, 열적 NO의 기여를 검토하기 위하여 본 연구에 사용된 반응기구(UC San Diego mechanism)를 수정하여 재순환율 증가에 따른 NO 배출지수(EINO)를 비교하였다.
