본 연구에서는 경유-물 유화연료를 디젤엔진에 적용하였을 때의 엔진의 성능 및 배기배출물 특성에 대해 고찰하였다. 그 결과, 초음파장치(40 KHz, 200W)로 제조한 경유-물 유화연료 운전시, 경유운전시에 비해 연료소비율(함수율 30%시 최대 28% 감소)과 매연(함수율 30%시 최대 60% 감소) 및 CO(할수율 30%시 최대 79% 감소)의 현격한 개선효과를 보았다. 이러한 플러스적인 효과는 유화연료의 미세폭발에 의한 것으로, 초음파에너지로 유화연료를 제조함과 동시에 엔진내로 공급하는 것이 디젤기관의 배기배출물과 연료소비율을 동시에 개선시킬 수 있는 가장 유력한 방법일 것으로 판명되었다. 그러나, 유화연료를 사용한 경우 상대적으로 경유의 유입량 자체가 줄어들게 됨으로써 엔진의 출력 및 토크는 오히려 감소하였다.

This study has been performed to select several indicators of long-range transport process that can be applied to the Northeast Asia. We first classified high air pollution days into long-range transport (LRT) dominant cases and the local emission dominant (LED) cases based on the synoptic meteorological variables including vorticity and geostrophic wind speed/direction at a geopotential level of 850 hPa. LRT cases were further categorized into two types: LRT-I type with air mass pathways from northern China and/or Mongolia, and LRT-II type from central and southern China. In each categorized case, we examined the difference of both measured aerosol optical properties of AERONET at two sites in western Korea, and the simulated characteristics of LRT process by MM5-CMAQ model. We contrasted LRT case with LED case, and then generated the LRT indicators applicable to Northeast Asia. The results showed that fine and coarse modes of LRT-II were relatively smaller than LED and LRT-I cases, respectively. Aerosol size distribution showed significantly higher concentration of fine-mode particle (mainly smoke or urban aerosols) in LED case in comparison with that of LRT groups (LRT-I, II), suggesting the amplitudes fine modes of LRT relative to LED as a possible LRT indicator. From the results of MM5-CMAQ modeling, we concluded that the conversion ratios for sulfur ($F_s$) were the most effective indicators of LRT cases, and the ratio of VOC to NOx and NOx to CO were found to be the second most effective indicators of LED case.

디젤기관은 공기만을 흡입 압축한 후에 연료를 분사하여 연소하기 때문에 높은 압축비가 가능하다. 높은 압축비에 의한 고효율의 장점과 연료의 직접분사에 의한 매연미립자의 배출 및 질소산화물의 배출이 많은 단점을 갖고 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 많은 연구들이 진행되었으며 수소를 흡기중에 공급하는 기술도 연구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 미량의 수소를 연소실에 공급하여 엔진성능에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 토크와 엔진속도를 100%, 75%, 50%, 25%, 0%와 700rpm, 1000rpm, 1500rpm, 2000rpm로 구분하여 실험하였다. 실험결과 질소산화물이 약간 증가하였지만 연료소비율, 스모크와 일산화탄소 배출은 감소하였다. 수소의 첨가는 저부하 영역에서는 효과가 거의 없었지만 고부하 영역에서 큰 효과가 있었다.

산호제의 양이 충분치 못한 밀폐된 공간에서는 화재가 발생하지 않으리라는 기대를 깨고, 다공성 물질내부에서 공극안에 있는 산화제를 이용하여 서서히 연소되는 smoldering 반응을 통하여 대형 화재가 발생할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 하나의 실제 화재 사건을 화재 조사 방법에 의하여 기술한 보고서를 바탕으로 하여 smoldering 연소가 화재의 발생에 미치는 영향을 예시하였으며, 예시된 사고의 smoldering 연소를 강제대류에 의한 하향식 역방향 smoldering으로 모델링하였다. 화학반응으로는 열분해가 없는 1 단계 반응이 채택되어, 온도 및 산화제의 공간적 분포와 smoldering의 전파속도를 수치적으로 모사하였다. 수치결과로서 유입되는 산화제의 양과 연료의 공극률이 반응지역의 전파속도를 결정하는 가장 우세한 인자로 파악되었다. 그러므로 smoldering 에 의한 화재 발생시 유입되는 산화제의 양과 연료의 공극률과의 관계를 알고 있다면 주어진 연료의 공극률에 대하여 유입되는 산화제의 양을 제어함으로써 불길로의 천이를 억제할 수 있음을 제시하고 있다.

Open biomass burning (excluding biofuels) is an important contributor to air pollution in the Asian region. Estimation of emissions from fires, however, has been problematic, primarily because of uncertainty in the size and location of sources and in their temporal and spatial variability. Hence, more comprehensive tools to estimate wildfire emissions and that can characterize their temporal and spatial variability are needed. Furthermore, an emission processing system that can generate speciated, gridded, and temporally allocated emissions is needed to support air-quality modeling studies over Asia. For these reasons, a biomass-burning emissions modeling system based on satellite imagery was developed to better account for the spatial and temporal distributions of emissions. The BlueSky Framework, which was developed by the USDA Forest Service and US EPA, was used to develop the Asian biomass-burning emissions modeling system. The sub-models used for this study were the Fuel Characteristic Classification System (FCCS), CONSUME, and the Emissions Production Model (EPM). Our domain covers not only Asia but also Siberia and part of central Asia to assess the large boreal fires in the region. The MODIS fire products and vegetation map were used in this study. Using the developed modeling system, biomass-burning emissions were estimated during April and July 2008, and the results were compared with previous studies. Our results show good to fair agreement with those of GFEDv3 for most regions, ranging from 9.7 % in East Asia to 52% in Siberia. The SMOKE modeling system was combined with this system to generate three-dimensional model-ready emissions employing the fire-plume rise algorithm. This study suggests a practicable and maintainable methodology for supporting Asian air-quality modeling studies and to help understand the impact of air-pollutant emissions on Asian air quality.

본 논문에서는 항공기 인증 절차에 포함되는 형식증명을 위한 항공기 기술기준의 새로운 정립에 대한 개정안을 제안하였다. 기존 항공기 엔진의 연료 및 배기가스 배출기준(Part 34)은 관리 대상 항목을 매연과 불연소탄화수소(HC), 일산화탄소(CO) 그리고 질소산화물(NOx)로 한정하고 있다. 하지만 이 항목들은 최근 기후변화에 따른 국제민간항공(ICAO)의 항공기 탄소배출 제한, 미국환경보호청(EPA)의 항공기 배기가스 규제 추진 등 환경규제가 강화되고 있는 시대 흐름을 담아내지 못하고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 한계점을 현대화된 국제기준에 맞도록 보완하기 위해서 미국, 유럽 등의 배출기준을 근거로 항공기 배출가스에 대한 기술기준을 새롭게 제안하였다.

Due to the oxygen contents in biodiesel, application of the fuel to compression ignition engines has significant advantages in terms of lowering PM formation in the combustion chamber. In recent days, considerable studies have been performed to extend the low temperature combustion regime in diesel engines by applying biodiesel fuel. In this work, low temperature combustion characteristics of biodiesel blends in dilution controlled regime were investigated at a fixed engine operating condition in a single cylinder diesel engine, and the comparisons of engine performances and emission characteristics between biodiesel and conventional diesel fuel were carried out. Results show that low temperature combustion can be achieved at $O_2$ concentration of around 7~8% for both biodiesel and diesel fuels. Especially, by use of biodiesel, noticeable reduction (maximum 50% of smoke was observed at low and middle loads compared to conventional diesel fuel. In addition, THC(total hydrocarbon) and CO(Carbon monoxide) emissions decreased by substantial amounts for biodiesel fuel. Results also indicate that even though about 10% loss of engine power as well as 14% increase of fuel consumption rate was observed due to lower LHV(lower heating value) of biodiesel, thermal efficiencies for biodiesel fuel were slightly elevated because of power recovery phenomenon.

Biodiesel is an environmentally-friendly fuel with low smoke emission because it contains about 10% oxygen. Biodiesel fuel prepared by transesterification of vegetable oil or animal fats is susceptible to auto-oxidation. The rate of auto-oxidation depends on the number of methylene double bonds contained within the fatty acid methyl or ethyl ester groups. Biodiesel may be easily oxidized under several conditions, i.e., upon exposure to sunlight, temperature, oxygen environment. Maintenance of the fuel quality of biodiesel requires the development of technologies to increase the resistance of biodiesel to oxidation. Treatment with antioxidants is a promising approach for extending the shelf-life or storage time of biodiesel. The chemical properties of various amine-based antioxidants were evaluated after synthesis of the antioxidants by condensation of phenylenediamine with alkylamines at room temperature. In general, the oxidative stability can be assessed based on various experimental parameters. Such parameters may include temperature, pressure, and the flow rate of air through the samples. The Rancimat method (EN14112) was selected because it is a rapid technique that requires very little sample and provides good precision for oxidative degradation analysis. Specifically, the EN 14112 technique provides enhanced efficiency for oxidative stability evaluation when a larger ester head group is utilized. Therefore, this technique was employed for evaluation of the oxidation stability of biodiesel by the Rancimat method (EN14112).

Background: Exposure to particulate matter (PM) emitted from vehicle exhaust might disrupt systemic function and elevate the risk of cardiovascular disease. In this study, we examined the changes of cardiometabolic biomarkers among vehicle inspectors exposed daily to PM0.25 and components. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at two vehicle inspection centers, Pulogadung and Ujung Menteng, located in East Jakarta, Indonesia. The exposed respondents were 43 workers from vehicle inspection centers, and the unexposed group consisted of 22 staff officers working in the same locations. Vehicle exhaust particulate matter was measured for eight hours using a Leland Legacy personal pump attached to a Sioutas Cascade Impactor. The used filters were 25 and 37-mm quartz filters. The particulate matter concentration was analyzed using a gravimetric method, whereas trace elements were analyzed using energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence. An EEL Smoke Stain Reflectometer analyzed black carbon. Results: The personal exposure concentrations of PM0.25 were 10.4-fold higher than those in unexposed groups. Calcium and sulfur were the major components in the obtained dust, and their levels were 3.3- and 7.2-fold higher, respectively, in the exposed group. Based on an independent-samples t-test, high-density lipoprotein, triglyceride, HbA1c, total immunoglobulin E, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and nitric oxide levels were significantly different between the groups. Conclusions: In summary, it was suggested that PM0.25 exposure from vehicle exhaust might affect cardiometabolic biomarkers change.
