FT process is a technology of chemical reactions that converts a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen into liquid hydrocarbons. During the FT process unreacted gas, known as Off-gas which has low-calorie, is discharged. In this study, we developed an engine that utilize simulated Off-gas, and studied the characteristics of the engine. The off-gas composition is assumed to be $H_2$ 70%, CO 15%, $CO_2$ 15% respectively. Under stoichiometric air-fuel ratio, the experiment was conducted at WOT and IMEP 0.3 Mpa changing compression ratio. Ignition timing was applied with MBT timing. Maximum indicated thermal efficiency 37% was achieved at compression ratio 15 under WOT. CO, $CO_2$ and $NO_x$ were influenced by changing compression ratio, and CO emission was satisfied with the US Tier 4 standard for nonroad engine over the entire experimental conditions.

본 연구에서는 차단기능형 수평식 가스밸브와 기존 수직식 가스밸브의 변형거동 안전성을 FEM으로 해석하였다. FEM 해석결과에 의하면, 차단기능형 수평식 가스밸브의 나사부와 가스방출구에 가스내압이 작용할 때 밸브몸체의 우측 끝단부에서 최대 변형량 $4.4{\mu}m$가 발생하였다. 두 번째로 큰 변형량 $2.9{\mu}m$는 안전밸브가 설치된 포트의 끝단부에 형성된 것으로 나타났다. 이렇게 작은 변형량이 발생한 것은 나사부, 가스방출구, 스템 및 스핀들 축이 장착되는 포트, 안전밸브 포트로 구성되는 수평식 가스밸브의 평형이 잘 이루어지도록 설계되었기 때문이다. 반면에 나사부와 가스방출구에 가스내압이 작용할 때, 기존 차단기능형 수직식 가스밸브의 상단부에서 최대 변형량 0.076mm가 형성된 것으로 나타났다. 가스유출구의 좌측 끝단부에서 두 번째로 큰 최대 변형량 0.055mm가 발생하였다. 이러한 변형량은 차단기능형 안전장치의 그루브에 삽입된 오링의 밀봉간극에 영향을 미칠 가능성이 높다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 LPG 용기용 가스밸브의 가스누출을 완벽하게 차단할 수 있는 메커니즘을 갖춘 차단기능형 수평식 가스밸브가 수직식 가스밸브에 비해 우수하다할 수 있다.

In this study, the validity of reducing the number of gas turbine stages designed for a nitrogen Brayton cycle coupled to a sodium-cooled fast reactor was assessed. The turbine performance was evaluated through computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations under different off-design conditions controlled by a reduced flow rate and reduced rotational speed. Two different multistage gas turbines designed to extract almost the same specific work were selected: two- and three-stage turbines (mid-span stage loading coefficient: 1.23 and 1.0, respectively). Real gas properties were considered in the CFD simulation in accordance with the Peng-Robinson's equation of state. According to the CFD results, the off-design performance of the two-stage turbine is comparable to that of the three-stage turbine. Moreover, compared to the three-stage turbine, the two-stage turbine generates less entropy across the shock wave. The results indicate that under both design and off-design conditions, increasing the stage loading coefficient for a fewer number of turbine stages is effective in terms of performance and size. Furthermore, the Ellipse law can be used to assess off-design performance and increasing exponent of the expansion ratio term better predicts the off-design performance with a few stages (two or three).

부생가스 발생 및 이용현황보고서(2015)에 따르면 철강 사업에서 나오는 부생가스는 국내 연간 8,000만톤으로 추정된다. 이를 정제할 경우 다량의 수소 생산이 가능하여 수소 정제시설과 관련해 활발한 연구 개발이 진행 중이다. 본 연구에서는 부생가스 기반 수소 정제시설의 구성요소를 분석하고 위험요인을 조사하여 정량적 위험성 평가(QRA)를 실시하였다. 위험도 분석 결과는 허용 가능 수준으로 도출되었으며 수소의 위험성을 고려한 시설물의 안전성 향상을 위한 기초자료로 활용할 예정이다.

가정용 LPG 가스시설에 사용되고 있는 압력조정기에서 체결된 호스가 분리되거나 또는 고의로 절단하여 발생하는 가스사고 및 고의사고를 예방하기 위해서 조정기 출구에 차단기능을 갖는 안전장치를 개발하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 개발된 차단안전장치의 작동성과 현장 적용여부를 확인하기 위하여 조정기의 설치상태에 따른 시험과, 가정집에서의 현장시험을 실시하였다. 시험결과 입구압력 $0.07{\sim}1.56MPa$의 조건에서 조정기의 설치상태와는 무관하게 호스길이 5 m이내에서 차단되었고, 차단유량은 수직상향, 수평, 수직하향의 순서로 높게 나타났다. 또한 가정집에 설치하여 5개월 시험한 결과, 가스레인지나 보일러를 사용하는데 있어 문제점은 없는 것으로 나타났다. 개발된 조정기 차단안전장치가 상용화되어 보급된다면 호스분리나 절단에 따른 사고를 대폭적으로 예방하는데 크게 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

In this study, an in-house program to predict steady state operation of micro gas turbines is constructed using MATLAB. The program consists of two parts: design and off-design simulations. The program is fully modular in its structure, and performance of each component (compressor, combustor, turbine, recuperative heat exchanger and pipe elements) is calculated in a separate calculation module using mass and energy balances as well as models for off-design characteristics. The off-design modules of compressor and turbine use performance maps, which are program inputs. The off-design operation of a micro gas turbine under development was predicted by the program. The prediction results were compared with those by commercial software, and the validity of the in-house program was confirmed.

The supply of oxygen for aeration is the largest energy consumer at activated sludge wastewater treatment plants. Replacement of less efficient aeration systems with fine pore aeration devices can save up to 50 percent of aeration energy costs. The purpose of this study was the diagnosis and evaluation of a domestic wastewater aeration system by the off-gas method which had been studied by US EPA and ASCE. For this study, an off-gas analyzer and its hood were made to collect off-gas. Also, a vacuum pump was connected to the analyzer to make suction of off-gas. Experiments were conducted at a domestic activated sludge wastewater treatment plant which had a single spiral roll aeration system installed with P.E tube diffuser. Data on OTE(f), SOTE(pw), OUR, and air flow rate were obtained from these experiments. In case of replacing an aeration system, it is recommended that it should be replaced with perforated membrane disc or ceramic disc fine bubble diffusers installed in a full floor coverage or grid pattern.

Micro gas turbines are designed with low turbine inlet temperature and pressure ratio. To overcome the efficiency defect of the simple cycle, adoption of the recuperator is an inevitable choice. In addition to the design performance, we should also pay attention to the off-design performance of gas turbines since they usually operate at part-load conditions lot a considerable amount of their lifetime. This study analyzes off-design performance characteristics of micro gas turbines and addresses the importance of the recuperation process doting the part load operation. Comparative analyses have been performed to evaluate the part load performance differences among various design and operating options : simple vs recuperative cycles, single vs two shaft configurations, various operating strategies for the single shaft configuration, and current vs advanced engines. Major finding is that maintaining high turbine exhaust temperature is crucial for efficient operation of micro gas turbines.

During the defrosting process, the temperature in the cabinet of a showcase becomes high as compared to the setting point, which is not desirable for stored foods or materials. It is necessary to develop a more efficient defrosting method to prevent large temperature fluctuation. In this study, the performance of a showcase refrigeration system with three evaporators is investigated by employing a hot-gas bypass defrosting technology in the system under frosting and defrosting conditions. The operating characteristics are compared with those for the on-off defrosting method that has been widely used in current products. As a result, the hot-gas bypass defrosting method shows higher refrigerating capacity and less temperature fluctuation than the on-off method under frosting/defrosting conditions, while the power input is relatively high for the hot-gas bypass method.

In addition to the design performance, we should also pay attention to the off-design performance of gas turbines since they usually operate at part-load conditions for a considerable amount of the time. This study aims at analyzing off-design performance characteristics of micro gas turbines and addressing the importance of the recuperator in the part load operation. Comparative analyses have been performed to evaluate the part load performance differences among various design and operating options : simple vs recuperative cycles, single vs two shaft configurations, various operating strategies for the single shaft configuration (fuel only control, variable speed operation, variable inlet guide vane control), and current vs advanced engines. Major finding is that maintaining turbine at high level is crucial in efficient operation of micro gas turbines.
