This study investigated the long-term durability of catalyst(Pd or Fe)-infiltrated solid oxide cells for $CO_2$/steam co-electrolysis. Fuel-electrode supported solid oxide cells with dimensions of $5{\times}5cm^2$ were fabricated, and palladium or iron was subsequently introduced via wet infiltration (as a form of PdO or FeO solution). The metallic catalysts were employed in the fuel-electrode to promote $CO_2$ reduction via reverse water gas shift reactions. The metal-precursor particles were well-dispersed on the fuel-electrode substrate, which formed a bimetallic alloy with Ni embedded on the substrate during high-temperature reduction processes. These planar cells were tested using a mixture of $H_2O$ and $CO_2$ to measure the electrochemical and gas-production stabilities during 350 h of co-electrolysis operations. The results confirmed that compared to the Fe-infiltrated cell, the Pd-infiltrated cell had higher stabilities for both electrochemical reactions and gas-production given its resistance to carbon deposition.

고체연료는 추진제 연소 시 산화제와 반응하여 추진제 성능을 증가시키는 역할을 한다. 대표적인 고체연료는 Al, RDX, HMX 등이 있다. 이들 물질은 연소 시 수분과 만나 흰색 연기를 발생시키고, 일산화탄소, 이산화탄소, 메탄가스 등의 환경유해 물질을 다량 발생시킨다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 본 연구에서는 고체 연료로 사용 가능한 고질소 에너지 물질인 hydrazinium 5-aminotetrazolate(HAT)를 제조하였다. 분광분석(NMR)을 통해 HAT의 구조를 분석하였으며, DSC를 이용하여 열특성 분석을 하였다. 또한, EXPLO5 프로그램을 이용하여 비추력, 가스발생량 등을 계산하였다.

Direct Carbon Fuel Cell(DCFC) is one of new power generation that the chemical energy of solid carbon can be converted into electrical energy directly. At the high temperature, the electrochemical reaction of the carbon takes place and the carbon reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide as followed overall reaction ($C+O_2{\rightarrow}CO_2$). However, in case of using the raw coals as a fuel of DCFC, the volatile matter containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen produces at operating temperature. In this study, the electrochemical reaction of Adaro coal was compared with Graphite. This work focused on the electrochemical reaction of two kinds of solid carbon by Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy(EIS). The EIS results were estimated by equivalent circuit analysis. The constant phase element(CPE) was applied in Randle circuit to explain an electrode and fuel interface. The correlation between the fuel characteristic and electrochemical results was discussed by elements of equivalent circuit of each fuel.

하수 슬러지는 수분 함량이 높고, 발열량이 낮아 하수 슬러지를 에너지원으로 사용하는데 어려움이 있다. 이런 하수 슬러지 특성을 개선하고, 화석 연료를 대체하기 위해 하수 슬러지와 목질계 바이오매스를 혼합한 바이오 고형연료를 생산하는 연구를 행하였다. 열중량 분석은 석탄과 5%, 10%, 15%의 바이오 고형연료를 각각 혼합하여 혼소할 경우 발생되는 특징을 연구하는 데에 활용되었다. 이 분석은 10℃/min씩 25℃에서 900℃까지 내부 온도를 올리는 비등온 조건하에서 수행되었다. 석탄 단일 시료를 석탄과 바이오 고형연료가 혼합된 시료와 비교하였을 경우 연소개시온도는 약간 변화가 일어났다. 하지만, 연소최대온도와 연소종료개시온도는 변화가 거의 없었다. 연소개시는 200 ~ 315 ℃에서 이뤄졌으며, 중량변화가 급격히 일어나는 열분해는 350 ~ 700 ℃에서 이뤄졌다. 혼소 반응속도 분석 결과 활성화 에너지는 혼합율이 높아질수록 낮아졌다. 그러므로 화력발전소에서 석탄과 바이오 고형연료를 혼소하는 것이 가능할 수 있을 것이다.

Nowadays, drying methods for municipal solid waste quality improvement have been adopted in the developed and developing countries to valorize wastes for a renewable energy source, reduce dependency on fossil fuel and keep safer disposal at landfills. Among them, biodrying, biostabilization, thermal drying and solar drying are the most common. Drying of municipal solid waste could offer several environmental and economic benefits. Therefore, this review highlighted the drying methods for municipal solid waste quality improvement around the world and compared them based on the reduction of moisture, weight and volume of municipal solid wastes against drying temperature and time by using statistical analysis. It was observed that the drying temperature of different drying methods accounted for 115 ± 40℃ for thermal drying, 59 ± 37℃ for solar drying, 55 ± 15℃ for biodrying and 58 ± 11℃ for biostabilization. Among the drying methods, thermal drying provided the shortest drying time. The moisture reduction, weight reduction, volume reduction and heating value increase of municipal solid waste could vary with drying temperature and time. Finally, the benefits and drawbacks of different drying methods were specified, and recommendations were made for the future efficient drying.

In an fuel injection type gasoline engine, atomization of fuel droplet and mixture formation process are very important to understand engine combustion efficiency, and also has influence directly on the decision of engine performance and pollutant emission. In this study, perforated throttle valve instead of solid type throttle valve was developed and equipped to an SPI engine to promote secondary atomization and good droplet-air mixture formation. From the engine performance lest. it was verified that the case of perforated valve kas more advantages in each experimental parameters such as in cylinder gas pressure, mass burnt ratio, fuel consumption rate, and pollutant emission characteristics than that of solid one equipped. No matter what the same perforated valve, there are some distinct results in engine performance characteristics according to the perforate ratio.

Thermodynamic performance analysis has been carried out for a hybrid electric power generation system combining a gas turbine and a solid oxide fuel cell and operating at over-atmospheric pressure. Performance characteristics with respect to main design parameters such as maximum temperature and pressure ratio are examined in detail. Effects of other important design parameters are investigated including fuel cell internal parameters such as fuel utilization factor, steam/carbon ratio and current density, and system parameters such as recuperator efficiency and compressor inlet temperature.

Solid oxide fuel cell(SOFC) is an electrochemical energy device which converts the free energy of fuel gas directly to electric energy. SOFC has several diratinct advantages over other types of fuel cells: no use of noble metals, no requirement of a reformer, no problem of liquid electrolyte management, and no problem of corrosion by liquid electrolyte. In this study, we have investigated the cell components and the single cell of the planar SOFC fabricated by composite plate process, in which green films of electrolyte, anode and cathode were co-fired. The planar SOFCs were tested and the cell performance characteristics wag evaluated by using electrochemical methods.

A two-dimensional numerical model to study the performance of anode-supported flat-tube solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) far the cross section of the cell in the flow direction of the fuel and air flows is developed. In this model a mass and charge balance, Maxwell-Stefan equation as well as the momentum equation by using, Darcy's law are applied in differential form. The finite element method using FEMLAB commercial software is used for meshing, discritization and solving the system of coupled differential equations. The current density distribution and fuel consumption as well as water production are analyzed. Experimental data is used to verify a predicted voltage-current density and power density versus current density to judge on the model accuracy.
