본 연구에서는 초고온 잠열 축열재를 이용한 에너지 저장 시스템을 개발하기 위한 첫 단계로 에너지 저장 시스템 내부를 구성하는 단일 축열재 모듈에 대한 축방열 특성에 관한 수치모델을 개발하였다. 잠열축열재는 Si와 Al이 각각 96.8%와 2.7%인 합금으로 Ca, Fe 및 Ti 등의 불순물을 함유하고 있으며, 그것을 둘러 싼 캡슬은 SiC와 흑연이 각각 58%와 42%인 합금으로 융점은 약 1673 K다. 재료분석 결과에 준하여 수치모델 개발에 필요한 물리·화학적 데이타를 참고문헌으로부터 인용하였으며 유체의 온도와 속도를 축열재의 축방열 특성에 관한 변수로 사용하였다. 상전이에 관한 해석은 겉보기 열용량 법(apparent capacity method)과 postiterative 법의 장점들을 이용하여 해석하였다. 수치해석 결과 가스의 온도가 실제 조업에 가까운 1773 K의 경우 잠열재가 축방향으로 빨리 용융되고 상대적으로 가스의 온도가 높아 온도 차이가 큰 3000 K의 경우 잠열재가 반경방향으로 빨리 용융되는 현상이 일어났다. 가스의 유속은 온도에 관계없이 느린 경우에만 용융시간에 영향을 주고 빠른 경우에는 융용시간이나 용융형태에 거의 영향을 주지 못하며, 유속이 느릴수록 축열재 내부 온도구배의 앞·뒤 비대칭성이 심해지는 것이 예측되었다.

Methane carbon dioxide reforming (MCDR) is a promising way of utilizing greenhouse gas for hydrogen-rich fuel production. Compared with other types of reactors, Compact Reformers (CRs) are efficient for fuel processing. In a CR, a thin solid plate is placed between two porous catalyst layers to enable efficient heat transfer between the two catalyst layers. In this study, the physical and chemical processes of MCDR in a CR are studied numerically with a 2D numerical model. The model considers the multi-component gas transport and heat transfer in the fuel channel and the porous catalyst layer, and the MCDR reaction kinetics in the catalyst layer. The finite volume method (FVM) is used for discretizing the governing equations. The SIMPLEC algorithm is used to couple the pressure and the velocity. Parametrical simulations are conducted to analyze in detail the effects of various operating/structural parameters on the fuel processing behavior.

This study aims to estimate the scope of damage impact with a real-life explosion case and a damage prediction program (ALOHA) and suggest measures to reduce risk by comparing and analyzing the results using a Probit model. After applying it to the ALOHA program, the toxicity, overpressure, and radiant heat damage of 5 tons of storage scopes between 66 to 413 meters, and the real-life case also demonstrated that most of the damage took place within 300 meters of the LPG gas station. In the Probit analysis, the damages due to radiant heat were estimated as first-degree burns (13-50%), while structural damage (0-75%) and glass window breakage (94-100%) were expected from overpressure, depending on the storage volume. After comparing the real-life case and the damage prediction program, this study concluded that the ALOHA program could be used as the scope of damage impacts is nearly the same as the actual case; it also concluded that the analysis using the Probit model could reduce risks by applying calculated results and predicting the probability of human casualties and structural damages.

The Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) recorded 2.9 trillion won deficit in the aftermath of the world financial crisis. KEPCO is trying to escape from the business crisis in every way; however, it is impossible to make huge profit by selling electricity alone. Overseas electrical utilities make profits by selling gas and heat along with electricity. However, it is difficult for KEPCO to enter the gas and the heat selling market because other public companies are already dealing with them. In this situation, improving the business is possible when KEPCO develops a new business model and creates added value using Korean advanced Power IT combined with electricity. This study shows a new business model using Power IT, based on a survey targeting managers in KEPCO branch office and electrical engineers in the field. We hope the new business model suggested in this study is adapted to the real field to create high value in the future.

Various coals from many countries around the world have been used for pulverized coal boiler in power plants in Korea. In this study, the gasification reactivities of various coal chars with $CO_2$ were investigated. Carbon conversion was measured using a real time gas analyzer with NDIR CO/$CO_2$ sensor. In a lab scale furnace, each coal sample was devolatilized at $950^{\circ}C$ in nitrogen atmosphere and became coal char and then further heated up to reach to a desired temperature. Each char was then gasified with $CO_2$ under isothermal conditions. The reactivities of coal chars were investigated at different temperatures. The shrinking core model (SCM) and volume reaction model(VRM) were used to interpret the experiment data. It was found that the SCM and VRM could describe well the experimental results within the carbon conversion of 0-0.98. The gasification rates for various coals were very different. The gasification rate for any coal increased as the volatile matter content increased.

A Direct simulation Monte-Carlo (DSMC) code is developed, which employs the Monte-Carlo statistical sampling technique to investigate hypersonic rarefied gas flows accompanying chemical reactions. The DSMC method is a numerical simulation technique for analyzing the Boltzmann equation by modeling a real gas flow using a representative set of molecules. Due to the limitations in computational requirements. the present method is applied to a flow around a simple two-dimensional object in exit velocity of 7.6 km/sec at an altitude of 90 km. For the calculation of chemical reactions an air model with five species (O₂, N₂, O, N, NO) and 19 chemical reactions is employed. The simulated result showed various rarefaction effects in the hypersonic flow with chemical reactions.

Recent trend changes a criterion for evaluation of burner that environmental problem is raised as global issue. For efficient driving problem, the higher thermal efficiency and the lower oxygen in exhaust gas, burner is evaluated the better. For environmental problem, burner must satisfy $NO_{X}$ limit and CO limit. Consequently, 'good burner' means on whose thermal efficiency is high under the constraint of $NO_{X}$ and CO consistency. To make existing burner satisfy recent criterion, it is highly recommended to develop feedback control scheme whose output is the consistency of $NO_{X}$ and CO. This paper describes development of real time flame diagnosis technique that evaluate and diagnose combustion state such as consistency of components in exhaust gas, stability of flame in quantitative sense. This study focuses on wave length of luminescence from chemical reaction measurement of the luminescence via optical measuring apparatus and derive correlation with consistency of components in exhaust gas by image processing technique.

There are many difficult problems in analyzing the gas flow in puffer type circuit breaker such as complex geometry, moving boundary, shock wave and so on. To predict the interruption performance accurately, these should be considered in the simulation. In this paper, the analysis procedure of the cold gas flow in the circuit breaker is presented. Euler equation is solved by FVFLIC method which is an explicit time difference scheme for an unsteady flow computation. Moving boundaries are treated with a cell elimination-addition technique. The pressure and density in front of piston are calculated from the rate of the cell volume change. The presented method is applied to the real circuit breaker model and the pressure in front of the piston is good agreement with the experimental one.
