In this study, performance and emissions characteristics of an liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) engine converted from a diesel engine were examined by using mixer system and liquid propane injection (LPi) system fuel supply methods. A compression ratio for the base diesel engine, 21, was modified into 8, 8.5, 9 and 9.5. The cylinder head and the piston crown were modified to roe the LPG in the engine. Ignition timing was controlled to be at minimum spark advance for best torque (MBT) each case. Engine performance and emissions characteristics are analyzed by investigating engine power, brake mean effective pressure (BMEP), brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC), volumetric efficiency, CO, THC and NOx. Experimental results showed that the LPi system generates higher power and lower emissions than the conventional mixer fuel supply method.

The transportation is almost dependent on a single fuel petroleum with transportation energy dilemma. Hybrid Electric Vehicle(HEV) technology holds more advantages on efficiency improvements for petroleum consumption at the transportation. And bearing is recognized as the important component of gearbox. Gearboxes for HEV transmission have been ensured the highest reliability over some years in withstanding high dynamic loads. At the same time, the demands of lightweight design and cost minimization are required by thought-out design, high-quality material, superior production quality and maintenance. In order to design a reliable and lightweight gearbox, it is necessary to analyze bearing rating life methods between standard and different bearing companies with calculation methods for modification factors. In this paper, the influence of life time of bearings will be pointed out. Bearing contact stress and load stress distribution of HEV gearbox are obtained and compared with Romaxdesigner and BearinX. And the unequal wear of the left bearing for the gearbox intermediate shaft is investigated between simulation and test.

최근 정부는 국가 온실가스를 효율적으로 감축시켜 국제적인 기후변화에 대응하기 위하여 여러 부문에서 기술개발을 진행 중에 있다. 이를 달성하기 위하여 정부는 화석연료를 대체하고 이산화탄소를 감축시키는 수단으로 바이오연료를 저탄소와 탄소중립자원으로 검토하고 있는 실정이다. 일반적으로, 목질계로부터 생산된 2세대 바이오연료는 수송부문에서 기존 화석연료를 대체하고 온실가스를 감축하는데 큰 효과가 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이러한 이유로 정부는 목질계 기반 바이오매스 액화연료(biomass-to-liquid fuel)에 대해 파일럿 수준으로 기술개발 중에 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 바이오매스액화연료 생산을 위한 동일공정으로 합성된 F-T(Fischer-Tropsch) 디젤의 연료적 특성을 연구하였다. 합성 F-T 디젤은 자동차용 경유에 단독 또는 혼합하여 사용할 수 있는 장점으로 인해 자동차용 경유엔진에 사용될 수 있다. 그 이유는 합성 F-T 디젤이 자동차용 경유와 비슷한 물리적 특성을 가지기 때문이다. 본 연구에 사용된 F-T 디젤은 Fischer-Tropsch (F-T) 공정을 이용하여 저온($240^{\circ}C$)에서 철 촉매를 가지고 합성되었다. 합성 F-T 디젤은 n-파라핀과 iso-파라핀을 함유하고, 등유와 경유 성분을 가진 $C_{12}{\sim}C_{23+}$ 분포로 이루어졌다. 합성 F-T 디젤은 합성 F-T 연료부터 증류를 통해 분리된 합성 F-T 디젤은 자동차용 경유에 비해 세탄가가 높으며, 방향족화합물은 매우 낮고, 황함량는 초저황(sulfur free) 수준으로 평가되었다. 또한 합성 F-T 디젤은 자동차용 경유와 비교하여 황과 방향족 화합물의 함량이 낮기 때문에 윤활성이 열악함을 보였다.

In recent years, world is faced with a transportation energy dilemma, and the transportation is almost dependent on a single fuel - petroleum. However, Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) technology holds more advantages to reduce the demand for petroleum in the transportation by efficiency improvements of petroleum consumption. Therefore, there is a trend that lower gear noise levels are demanded in HEV for drivers to avoid annoyance and fatigue during operation. And meshing transmission error (T.E.) is the excitation that leads to the tonal noise known as gear whine, and radiated gear whine is also the dominant source of noise in the whole gearbox. In this paper, the analysis of gear tooth profile and lead modification is firstly presented, and then, the different transmission error of no mesh misalignment and mesh misalignment under one loaded torque for the 1st gear pair of HEV gearbox was investigated and compared. At last, the appropriate tooth modification was used to minimize and compare the transmission error of the gear pair with mesh misalignment under the loaded torque.

본 연구에서는 석유의 탈황에 이용될 수 있는 미생물인 Desuljovrvbrio sp. B5의 생육특성을 조사하였다. Postgate medium C에서의 생육 최적 온도는 $38^{\circ}C$,pH는 6.6~7.0으로 나타났다. Corn steep liquer를 대체 배지성분으로 사용한 결과 0.79g/L의 균체를 얻을 수 있었으며 이는 기존의 결과와 비교하여 약 1.8배 증가한 값이다. Postgate medium C에서 Lactate의 대사 과정에서 생성되는 acctate는 10g/L 이상에서 성장저해를 유발하였다. $H_2S$는 10mM의 total sulfide 농도에서도 균체성장이 저해되었지만 이는 질소가스 주입으로 해소할 수 있었다. 또한 회분식 배양의 결과와 $H_2S$에 의한 product ingixtion에 근거한 균체성장의 modeling 결과는 잘 일치하였다.

현재 화석연료사용의 급증으로 인한 지구온난화와 자원고갈의 문제가 전세계적으로 크게 대두되어지고 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해 세계적으로 재생 가능한 바이오매스의 개발에 관심을 기울이고 있다. 바이오가스는 다양한 바이오매스로부터 생산된 기체상태의 연료로 전력생산 및 기존 난방용 연료와 자동차연료로 대체할 수 있는 친환경적 석유대체연료이다. 우리나라의 유기성폐기물은 발생량의 상당부분을 차지하는 음식물쓰레기와 가축분뇨는 매년 증가 추세에 있으며, 유기성폐기물에서 발생하는 가스는 60% 이상의 고농도 메탄을 함유하고 있다. 이를 에너지원으로 이용할 경우 에너지의 효율적 이용에 큰 효과를 기대할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 국내 신재생에너지로서 바이오가스의 현황을 살펴보고자 한다.

The petroleum refinery industry handles a variety of complex chemical substances and employs a large number of people around the world. According to previous research, diseases caused by exposure to chemicals were quite common among workers in refineries until the 1980s. More recently, it is unusual for oil refinery workers to suffer from these serious diseases. The objective of this study was to identify the occurrence level of general diseases and any differences in lifestyle habits of workers in refineries in Korea compared with the general population. In this study, we used the results of health examinations from 2014 for workers at a large oil refinery in South Korea. In addition, based on the results of KNHANES from 2014 as representative of the population, hypertension, diabetes, anemia, hyperlipidemia, liver function abnormality, and kidney function abnormality were calculated using the standardized incidence rate. Hypertension showed a low result with an SIR of less than 1, but a high result in the case of abnormal liver function. The workers' occurrence rates of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, kidney dysfunction, and anemia were lower than those of ordinary salaried employees. however, their occurrence rate for abnormal liver function was markedly higher. In lifestyle habits, the smoking rate of workers was low while the alcohol consumption rate was quite high. This study has improved the understanding of the health status of workers in a large oil refinery in Korea, and has shown the impact of lifestyle habits related to the work environment on chronic diseases.

Transportation energy saving is a national concern because all national petroleum energy is imported. A number of intersections are operating as semi-protected intersections, which have left-turn signal but not exclusive left-turn lanes, because of limited roadways in urban areas. Since the traffic signal methods for the intersections having left-turn signal/lanes cannot be applied to the semi-protected intersection, it is needed to develop a new technique. The purpose of this study was to develop a traffic signal timing method at semi-protected intersections for energy saving and to computerize the method for the practical use. A probability model which could estimate left-turn utilization factors of through traffic during green signal was developed based on field studies. Employing the factors, macro-models to estimate vehicular average delay and proportions of vehicles stopped at the semiprotected intersections were developed. The calculated values of the delay model agreed well with the simulated values of a simulation model using SLAM Ⅱ, a simulation language. Using the two models and the idling fuel consumption rate and the excess fuel consumption per stop-go speed change of vehicles. a traffic signal timing method at semi-protected intersections for energy saving was developed and computerized. The method can be used for other measures of effectiveness such as minimum delay, minimum stop ratio, etc.

Liquefied Petroleum Gas(LPG) has attracted attention as a alternative fuel. The lean-burn LPG direct injection engine is a promising technology because it has an advantage of lower harmful emissions. This study aims to investigate the effect of combustion strategy and excess air ratio on combustion and emission characteristics in lean-burn LPG direct injection engine. Fuel consumption and combustion stability were measured with change of the ignition timing and injection timing at various air/fuel ratio conditions. The lean combustion characteristics were evaluated as a function of the excess air ratio with the single injection and multiple injection strategy. Furthermore, the feasibility of lean operation with stratified mixture was assessed when comparing the combustion and emission characteristics with premixed lean combustion.
