해조류 유래 급속열분해를 통해 생성된 바이오오일로부터 수소가스를 생산하기 위해 상용 개질 촉매를 사용하여 수증기 개질 반응을 수행하였다. 반응원료로 급속열분해로부터 생성되는 crude 바이오오일의 상분리를 통해 얻어진 수용액상의 바이오오일이 사용되었으며, 상용 개질 촉매(FCR-4-02, POS-7, Cat. A, RUA), 반응온도 및 수증기/탄소(S/C) 비율에 따른 수증기 개질 반응의 활성을 비교 연구하였다. 실험 결과 원료의 S/C 비율과 촉매의 구성성분에 따라 반응활성이 크게 달라지는 것이 확인되었으며, 특히 POS-7 촉매를 사용한 1073 K, S/C 비율 10의 조건에서의 수증기 개질 반응에서 가장 높은 수소 수율(70%)이 확인되었다.

Characteristics of $ZrO_2$ felt supported Cu/Zn catalysts have been investigated for the production of hydrogen via methanol steam reforming. Cu and Zn in different weight percent were loaded using wet impregnation over $ZrO_2$ felt support. The catalysts were characterized with BET and FE-SEM. The performance of these synthesized catalysts were investigated at SCR=1.5, $GHSV=2000h^{-1}$, temperature=$300{\sim}400^{\circ}C$, and pressure=2.5~19.5 barA. The results showed that the $Cu^{32.5}Zn^{7.5}ZrO_2$ catalyst was most active in terms of methanol conversion and hydrogen production. The methanol conversion in steam reforming of methanol was 84.6% at 19.5 barA and furnace $400^{\circ}C$ over $Cu^{32.5}Zn^{7.5}ZrO_2$ catalyst. The catalysts prepared using $ZrO_2$ felt show higher reactor temperature than the pellet type catalyst at same furnace temperature.

Steam reforming of methane is the most wide spread method for hydrogen production. It has heed studied more than 60 years. methane reforming has advantages in technological maturity and economical production cost. Using a high-temperature solar thermal energy is an advanced technology in Steam reforming process. The synthesis gas, the product of the reforming process, can be applied directly for a combined cycle or separated for a hydrogen. In this paper, hydrogen conversion rate of a solar chemical reactor is calculated using commercial CFD program. 2 models are considered. Model-1 is original model which is designed from the former researches. And model-2 is ring-disk set of baffle is inserted to enhance the performance. The solar chemical reactor has 3 inlet nozzle at the bottom of the side wall near quartz glass and an exit is located at the top. Methane and steam is premixed with 50:50 mole fraction and goes into the inside. Passing through the porous media, the reactants are conversed into hydrogen and carbon monoxide.

Steam reforming of n-hexadecane, a major component of diesel over Ni-based hydrotalcite-like catalyst was carried out at $900^{\circ}C$ at atmospheric pressure with space velocity of $10,000h^{-1}$ and feed molar ratio of steam/carbon=3.0. Ni-based hydrotalcite catalyst was prepared by a solid phase crystallization (spc) method and characterized by $N_2$-physisorption, CO chemisorption, TPR., XRD, and TEM techniques. It was found that spc Ni/MgAl catalyst showed higher catalytic stability and inhibition of carbon formation than Ni/$\gamma-Al_2O_3$ catalyst under the tested conditions. The results suggest that the modified spc-Ni/MgAl catalyst after optimization may be applied for the SR reaction of diesel.

A mathematical model is proposed that can depict the kinetics of simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) using steam-exploded wood(SEW) with a glucose- and cellobiose-fermenting yeast strain. Brettanomyces custersii. An expression to describe the reduction of the relative digestibility during the hydrolysis of the SEW is introduced in the hydrolysis model. The fermentation model also takes two new factors into account, that is, the effects of the inhibitory compounds present in the SEW hydrolysates on the microorganism and the fermenting ability of Brettanomyces custersii, which can use both glucose and cellobiose as carbon sources. The model equations were used to simulate the hydrolysis of the SEW, the fermentation of the SEW hydrolysates, and a batch SSF, and the results were compared with the experimental data. The model was found to be capable of representing ethanol production over a range of substrate concentrations. Accordingly, the limiting factors in ethanol production by SSF under the high concentration of the SEW were identified as the effect of inhibitory compounds present in the SEW, the enzyme deactivation, and a limitation in the digestibility based on the physical condition of the substrate.

The study is to analyze the chemical and heat-flow reactions in the hydrogen generation unit(autothermal reformer), using computational numerical tools. Autothermal reformer(ATR) is involved in complex chemical reaction, mass and heat transfer due to exothermic and endothermic reactions. Therefore it is necessary to reveal the effects of various operation parameters and geometries on the ATR performance by using numerical analysis. Numerical analysis needs to dominant chemical reactions that includes Full Combustion(FC) reaction, Steam Reforming(SR) reaction, Water-Gas Shift(WGS) reaction and Direct Steam Reforming(DSR) reaction. The objective of the study is to improve theoretically the reformer design capability for the goal of high hydrogen production in the autothermal reformer using methane. Hydrogen production reached maximum in a certain value of Oxygen to Carbon Ratio(OCR) or Steam to Carbon Ratio(SCR). When the longitudinal distance to dimeter ratio(L/D) is increased, hydrogen production increases.

니켈 촉매 상에서 에탄의 수증기 개질 반응과 수성가스 전환반응 반응에 대한 반응속도 데이터를 얻기 위하여 반응온도와 반응물의 분압을 변화시키면서 반응 실험을 수행하였다. 반응속도 데이터를 사용하여 거듭제곱 속도식 모델(power law kinetic model)과 랭미어-힌쉘우드 모델(Langmuir-Hinshelwood model)의 매개변수를 구하였다. 또한 반응 속도 모델식을 적용하여 PRO/II를 이용한 공정 모사를 통해서 에탄의 수증기 개질 반응기 사이징(sizing)을 수행하였다. 에탄을 반응물로 하여 수증기 개질 반응을 수행한 결과, 단순한 거듭제곱 속도식 모델보다 표면반응에 의하여 반응속도가 결정되는 랭미어-힌쉘우드 모델이 보다 적합하였고, 수성가스 전환반응에 대한 반응속도식은 거듭제곱 속도식 모델이 적합함을 보였다. PRO/II 시뮬레이션을 통해서 수소 생산량에 필요한 반응기의 크기를 결정할 수 있었다.

국내에서 대부분 시공되어지고 있는 현장타설 콘크리트 라이닝은 여러 가지가 문제점을 나타내고 있다. 그 중에 특히 라이닝의 균열 발생은 사회적 및 경제적인 문제로까지 제기되고 있으며 라이닝의 미관뿐만 아니라 안정성에도 영향을 미치게 되므로 막대한 보수보강 공사비의 지출을 유발해 국가 예산을 소모시키고 있다. 국내 콘크리트 2차 제품 생산업체의 생산기술은 아직 선진국 수준에 미치지 못하며, 고품질 제품 생산에 있어 가장 중요한 증기양생 방법 또한 규정되어 있지 않은 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 터널용 PC 패널의 증기양생조건 중 전양생시간, 온도상승구배를 달리하여 물리적 특성을 검토하였다. 시험결과, 고강도 PC패널의 전양생시간은 최소 1시간 이상이 바람직하였으며 온도상승구배는 최대 $20^{\circ}C$가 물리 역학적으로 가장 우수한 성능을 나타내었다.

In recent decades, exergy analysis has been holding spotlight as a useful tool in the design, assessment, optimization, and improvement of energy system. This paper presents the results of the energy and exergy analysis of a steam turbine cogeneration system for industrial complex using two efficiency concepts of conventional one and exergetic one. In order to obtain the destroyed exergy of each component, mathematical analysis is conducted by using exergy balance and the second law of thermodynamics, according as the parameters are changed, such as the ratio of returned process steam, process steam supplied, temperature and pressure of boiler and power. The computer program developed in this study can determine the efficiencies and exergy destroyed at each component of cogeneration system. As a result of this study, a component having the largest destroyed exergy was boiler. And closed and opened feedwater heater had the lowest one. The affects to the cogeneration system due to the variation of process steam flow and return rate of condensed water is shown that the total electric power efficiency(${\eta}_E$) is decreased as increasing the return rate of condensed water under constant process steam flow. As the boiler pressure is increased for the more production of electricity, the efficiency of cogeneration system was decreased.

This paper proposes using sodium-cooled fast reactor technologies for use in hydrogen vapor methane (SMR) modification. Using three independent energy rings in the Russian BN-600 fast reactor, steam is generated in one of the steam-generating cycles with a pressure of 13.1 MPa and a temperature of 505 ℃. The reactor's second energy cycles can increase the gas-steam mixture's temperature to the required amount for efficient correction. The 620 ton/hr 540 ℃ steam generated in this cycle is sufficient to supply a high-temperature synthesis current source (700 ℃), which raises the steam-gas mixture's temperature in the reactor. The proposed technology provides a high rate of hydrogen production (approximately 144.5 ton/hr of standard H₂), also up to 25% of the original natural gas, in line with existing SMR technology for preparing and heating steam and gas mixtures will be saved. Also, exergy analysis results show that the plant's efficiency reaches 78.5% using HTR heat for combined hydrogen and power generation.
