The vast stores of biomass available in the worldwide have the potential to displace significant amounts of petroleum fuels. Fast pyrolysis of biomass is one of several paths by which we can convert biomass to higher value products. The wood pyrolysis oil (WPO) has been regarded as an alternative fuel for petroleum fuels to be used in diesel engine. However, the use of WPO in a diesel engine requires modifications due to low energy density, high water contents, high acidity, high viscosity, and low cetane number of the WPO. One possible method by which the shortcomings may be circumvented is to co-fire WPO with other petroleum fuels. WPO has poor miscibility with light petroleum fuel oils; the most suitable candidates fuels for direct fuel mixing are methanol or ethanol. Early mixing with methanol or ethanol has the added benefit of significantly improving the storage and handling properties of the WPO. For separate injection co-firing, a WPO-ethanol blended fuel can be fired through diesel pilot injection in a dual-injection dieel engine. In this study, the performance and emission characteristics of a dual-injection diesel engine fuelled with diesel (pilot injection) and WPO-ethanol blend (main injection) were experimentally investigated. Results showed that although stable engine operation was possible with separate injection co-firing, the fuel conversion efficiency was slightly decreased due to high water contents of WPO compare to diesel combustion.

저급 에너지인 폐기물로부터 고부가 합성가스를 생산하고 온실가스 저감 연구를 동시에 수행하기 위하여 $1000-1400^{\circ}C$의 고온에서 순산소 가스화 연구를 수행하였다. 폐기물 시료로는 RPF (Refused Plastic Fuel)를 이용하였으며 실험 장치로는 열중량 분석기와 0.5 ton/day의 pilot plant 가스화 시스템을 이용하였다. 열중량 분석기에서는 이산화탄소에 의한 RPF 촤(char)의 가스화 실험을 수행하여 온도에 따른 중량 변화를 고찰하고 Boudouard reaction에 의해 일산화탄소가 생성되는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 0.5 ton/day pilot plant system에서 RPF의 순산소 가스화를 통하여 고농도의 수소를 함유한 합성가스를 생산하였다. 생산된 합성가스는 수송용 연료 생산과 화학제품 생산에 가능한 수소와 일산화 탄소의 비율을 나타내었다.

This work was performed to investigate the effect of a split injection on spray characteristics of fuel sprays injected from a common rail system. In order to analyze the spray behavior and atomization characteristics at various rates of split injections, the injection durations of pilot and main injections were varied in experiments. The injection rate of split injection was measured to study the effect of the pilot injection on the main injection. By using a Nd:YAG laser and an ICCD camera, the development of the injected spray was visualized at various elapsed time from the start of injection. The microscopic characteristics such as SMD and axial velocity were analyzed by using a phase Doppler particle analyzer system. The results indicate that the ambient gas flow generated by the pilot injection affects the behavior of main spray, whereas the effect of pressure variation on the main spray is little. The spray tip penetration of a main spray with pilot injection is longer than that of the single injection by the effect of ambient gas flow. Also the main spray produces larger droplets than the pilot spray due to a small relative velocity between the droplets and ambient gas.

A numerical investigation of the fuel concentration field in a fluidized bed has been carried out for the scale-up of a fluidized bed combustor (FBC). A two-dimensional transient model is developed using the two-phase fluidization, a simple chemical reaction, and lateral solid mixing theories. The uniformity of fuel concentration distributions is controlled by the location and the number of fuel feeders, fluidizing velocities and the bed-heights. While larger bubbles owing to greater fluidizing velocities enhance the fuel-dispersion in the bed, they have adverse effects on fuel combustion and thus result in the increase of fuel concentration, since a greater bubble means a larger bypass which reduces gas-exchange rates between bubble and emulsion phases. Average or maximum values of the bed fuel concentration are utilized as criteria for the scale-up from a pilot/lab-scale to a commercial-size bed.

Large-scale fuel tanks emit massive amount of hardly-combustible VOC mixtures which are light hydrocarbon species in dilution with nitrogen and carbon dioxide. We have developed a lab-scale burner to combust those VOC mixtures by use of a turbulent partially-premixed flame as a pilot flame. For a higher HC treatment ratio, the mixture gases were reformed by a rotating arc plasma device. The results showed that the nitrogen mole fraction and the injecting speed of the VOC mixture influence on the performance of the burner. It was also found that the size of the pilot flame and the power supplied to the plasma device determine the overall HC treatment ratio and the concentrations of CO and NOx in the exhaust gas.

There are two to three helicopter accidents every year in Korea, representing 5.7 deaths per 100,000 flights. In this study, an analysis was conducted on helicopter accidents that occurred in Korea from 2005 to 2017. The accident analysis was based on the aircraft accident and incident report published by the Aircraft and Railway Accident Investigation Board. This Research analyzed the characteristics of accidents occurring in Korea caused by human error by pilots. Accident analysis was done by classifying the organization, flight mission, aircraft class, flight stage, accident cause, etc. Pilot's huan error was classified as Skill-based error, decision error and perceptual error in accordance with the HFACS taxonomy. The accidents caused by pilot's human error were classified into five categories: powerlines collision, loss of control, fuel exhaustion, unstable approach to reservoir, and elimination of tail rotor.

최근 화석연료의 고갈, 지구온난화 그리고 환경오염이 세계적인 공공의 문제로 대두됨으로써 신재생에너지에 관한 연구들이 많이 진행되고 있다. 이러한 신재생에너지들 중 바이오연료는 다루기 쉬울 뿐만 아니라, 낮은 가격과 풍부한 자원성이 미래에 화석연료를 대체할 수 있는 잠재성을 가지고 있다. 바이오연료 중 본 연구에서 사용한 급속 열분해유는 폐목재나 억새, 갈대와 같은 비식용작물에서부터 추출되었고, 이는 무한한 자원성 때문에 디젤엔진에서 디젤유를 대체할 신재생에너지로 주목받고 있다. 하지만 열분해유는 낮은 세탄가, 높은 점도, 높은 산도 그리고 낮은 발열량으로 인해 디젤엔진에 직접적으로 적용하기가 어렵다. 따라서 이러한 낮은 물질적 특성을 개선하기 위해서 본 연구에서는 에탄올과 같은 알코올계 연료와 혼합하여 투입하였다. 알코올계 연료인 에탄올이 열분해유의 저장 및 보관성에도 도움을 줄뿐 아니라 점도를 낮춰주어 엔진에 적용하기 수월하게 만들기 때문이다. 열분해유-에탄올 혼합연료를 파일럿 분사한 디젤유 이후 분사하여 연소시켜 이때의 연소 및 배기특성에 대해 고찰해 보았고, 그 결과로 미연탄화수소와 일산화탄소는 증가하는 경향을 띄지만 NOx와 PM이 현저히 줄어든 결과를 확인할 수 있었다.

This paper describes the results of a series of experiments executed by using two pilot-scale oxv-fuel burners are designed for maximum capacity of 50,000 kacl/hr, 300,000 kcal/hr and installed in the test furnace. The effects of turn-down ratio, excess oxygen ratio, nozzle exit velocity, injection angle, swirl vane angle and inlet oxygen temperature on the combustion characteristic are investigated. Temperature distributions are measured using R-type and Molybdenum sheathed C-type thermocouple. The results showed that maximum temperature and mean temperature increase with the increase of turn-down ratio and inlet oxygen temperature. The maximum flame temperature was increased about 35% compared to the case of equivalent air operated condition. In addition, Optimum excess oxygen ratio and nozzle characteristics are obtained for this oxy-fuel glass melting furnace.

The results of a series of experiments executed by using two pilot-scale oxy-fuel burners are presented. The oxy-fuel burners are designed for maximum capacity of 50,000kcal/hr, 200,000kcal/hr and installed in the test furnace. The effects of turn-down ratio, excess oxygen ratio, nozzle exit velocity, injection angle, and swirl vane angle on the combustion characteristic are investigated. Temperature distributions are measured using R-type and Molybdenum sheathed C-type thermocouple at various points of the flame. The results showed that maximum temperature and mean temperature increase with the increase of turn-down ratio and momentum. The maximum flame temperature was increased about 35% compared to the case of equivalent air operated condition. In addition, optimum burner type, excess oxygen ratio and nozzle characteristics are obtained for this oxy-fuel glass melting furnace.
