  • 최근에는 지금까지 주로 탐사개발이 이루어진 구조적 저류층보다 층서적 저류층에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 하지만 얇은 두께의 가스 저류층의 경우 동조효과로 인해 겹쌓기 단면도에서 탐지가 어렵다. 게다가 얇은 저류층 내 염수가 있는 부분과 가스로 치환된 부분으로부터의 반사파가 동일한 극성을 갖는 경우 일반적인 자료 처리 기술을 이용해서 가스가 있는 부분을 규명하는 것이 쉽지 않다. 본 연구에서는 빛띠 분해를 이용해서 얇은 저류층 내 가스로 치환된 부분을 나타내는 방법을 소개하고자 한다. 먼저, Class 1, Class 3 그리고 Class 4의 AVO 반응을 가지는 매질의 물성을 이용하여 다양한 입사각과 진동수에 따른 진폭 빛띠를 분석하였다. 그 결과 입사각과 AVO 종류에 무관하게 최대 진폭 빛띠 값을 갖는 꼭지 진동수 근처에서 염수와 가스로 치환된 얇은 층의 진폭 빛띠 값이 가장 크게 차이가 나는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 Class 3와 Class 4의 성질을 가지는 매질에서는 가스로 치환된 부분의 진폭 빛띠가 꼭지 진동수에서 염수로 치환된 부분의 진폭 빛띠보다 크게 나타나는 것을 확인하였고 이러한 현상은 Class 1에서는 반대로 일어나는 것을 확인하였다. 위의 결과를 토대로 얇은 저류층내에서 가스로 치환된 부분을 염수로 치환된 부분과 구분하기 위해서 겹쌓기 단면에 빛띠 분해법을 적용하였다. 위 방법에 대한 타당성을 검증하기 위해서 동일한 반사 극성을 가지면서 염수와 가스로 치환된 부분이 모두 있는 하나의 얇은 저류층 속도 모델을 설정하였다. 결과적으로 Wigner-Ville distribution을 사용해서 얻은 꼭지 진동수 근처에서의 빛띠 분해 단면도를 통해 겹쌓기 단면에서는 구분이 어려웠던 얇은 저류층 내에서의 염수와 가스로 치환된 부분을 구분할 수 있었다.

  • A possibility of using waste plastics as a source of secondary fuel in blast furnace has been of recent interest. The success of this process, however, will be critically dependent upon the optimization of operating systems. for instance, the supply of waste plastics must be reliable as well as economically attractive compared with conventional secondary fuels such as heavy oil, natural gas and pulverized coal. In this work, we put special importance on the improvement of the combustibility of waste plastics as a way to enhance energy efficiency in blast furnace. As experimental variables to approach this target, the effects of plastic particle size, blast temperature, and the level of oxygen enrichment were investigated using a custom-made blast model designed to simulate a real furnace. Lastly, the combustion efficiency of the mixture of waste plastics and pulverized coal was tested. The observations made from these experiments led us to the conclusion that with the increase of both blast temperature and the level of oxygen enrichment, and with the decrease of particle size, the combustibility of waste PE could be improved at a given distance from tuyere. Also it was found that the efficiency of coal combustion decreased with the addition of plastics; however, the combustion efficiency of mixture could be comparable at longer distance from tuyere.

  • One of the most important matters in stress measurement by hydraulic fracturing technique is the determination of the breakdown pressure, reopening pressure, and shut-in pressure, since these values are the basic input data for the calculation of the in-situ stress. The control of the fracture propagation is also important when the hydraulic fracturing technique is applied to the development of groundwater system, geothermal energy, oil, and natural gas. In this study, a laboratory scale hydraulic fracturing device was built and a series of model tests were conducted with cube blocks of Machon gabbro. A new method called 'flatjack method' was adopted to determine shut-in pressure. The initial stress calculated from the shut-in pressure measured by flatjack method showed much higher accuracy than the stress determined by the conventional method. The dependency of the direction of fracture propagation on the state of the initial stresses was measured by introducin g artificial slots in the borehole made by water jet system. Numerical modeling by BEM was also performed to simulate the fracture propagation process. Both results form numerical and laboratory tests showed good agreement. From this study which provides the extensive results on the determination of shut-in pressure and the control of fracture propagation which are the critical issue in the recent hydraulic fracturing, it is conclued that in-situ stress measurement and the control of fracture propagation could be achived more accurately.

  • The definition of meat analog refers to the replacement of the main ingredient with other than meat. It also called a meat substitute, meat alternatives, fake or mock meat, and imitation meat. The increased importance of meat analog in the current trend is due to the health awareness among consumers in their diet and for a better future environment. The factors that lead to this shift is due to low fat and calorie foods intake, flexitarians, animal disease, natural resources depletion, and to reduce greenhouse gas emission. Currently, available marketed meat analog products are plant-based meat in which the quality (i.e., texture and taste) are similar to the conventional meat. The ingredients used are mainly soy proteins with novel ingredients added, such as mycoprotein and soy leghemoglobin. However, plant-based meat is sold primarily in Western countries. Asian countries also will become a potential market in the near future due to growing interest in this product. With the current advance technology, lab-grown meat with no livestock raising or known as cultured meat will be expected to boost the food market in the future. Also, insect-based products will be promising to be the next protein resource for human food. Nevertheless, other than acceptability, cost-effective, reliable production, and consistent quality towards those products, product safety is the top priority. Therefore, the regulatory frameworks need to be developed alongside.

  • Increasing amounts of ships exhaust gases emitted worldwide forced the International Maritime Organization to issue some restricted maritime legislation for reducing the adverse environmental impacts arising from such emissions. Consequently, ships emission reduction became one of the technical and economical challenges that facing the ships, operators. The present paper addresses the different strategies that can be used to reduce those emissions, especially nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides. The strategies included: applying reduction technologies onboard, using of alternative fuels, and follows one of fuel saving strategies. Using of selective catalytic reduction and sea water scrubbing appeared as the best reduction technologies onboard ships. Moreover, among the various proposed alternative fuels, natural gas, in its liquid state; has the priority to be used instead of conventional fuels. Applying one of those strategies is the matter of ship type and working area. As a numerical example, the proposed methods were investigated at a high-speed craft operating in the Red Sea area between Egypt and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The results obtained are very satisfactory from the point of view of environment and economic issues, and reflected the importance of applying those strategies.

  • Distributed energy resources (DERs) are essential for coping with growing multiple energy demands. A microgrid (MG) is a small-scale version of the power system which makes possible the integration of DERs as well as achieving maximum demand-side management utilization. Hence, this study focuses on the analysis of optimal power dispatch considering economic aspects in a multi-carrier microgrid (MCMG) with price-responsive loads. This paper proposes a novel time-based demand-side management in order to reshape the load curve, as well as preventing the excessive use of energy in peak hours. In conventional studies, energy consumption is optimized from the perspective of each infrastructure user without considering the interactions. Here, the interaction of energy system infrastructures is considered in the presence of energy storage systems (ESSs), small-scale energy resources (SSERs), and responsive loads. Simulations are performed using GAMS (General Algebraic modeling system) to model MCMG, which are connected to the electricity, natural gas, and district heat networks for supplying multiple energy demands. Results show that the simultaneous operation of various energy carriers, as well as utilization of price-responsive loads, lead to better MCMG performance and decrease operating costs for smart distribution grids. This model is examined on a typical MCMG, and the effectiveness of the proposed model is proven.

  • Many conventional management methods have emphasized the minimization of required resources along the supply chain. Accordingly, this paper presents a proposed method called the Virtual Design and Construction (VDC)-aided system. It is based on object-oriented resource control, in order to accomplish a feed-forward control monitoring supply chain logistics. The system is supported by two main parts: (1) IT-based Technologies; and (2) VDC Models. They enable the system to convey proactive information from the detection technology to its linked visualization. The paper includes a field study as the system's pre-test: the Scaffolding Works in a LNG Mega Project. The study demonstrates a system of real-time productivity monitoring by use of the RFIDbased Mobile Information Hub. The on-line 'productivity dashboard' provides an opportunity to display the continuing processes for each work-package. This research project offers the observed opportunities created by the developed system. Future work will entail research experiments aimed towards system validation.

  • 음향방출기법은 구조물에 존재하는 손상 및 손상 메커니즘을 규명하는 가장 유효한 비파괴검사 수단으로 널리 이용되고 있다. 그러나 기존의 손상위치표정 기법은 탄성파 전파 속도에 크게 의존하는 기법의 한계에 의하여 복합재료 또는 이종의 재료로 구성된 구조물에서의 손상을 탐지하기 어려운 한계점을 가지고 있다. 최근 다양한 분야에서 사용되고 있는 압축천연가스(CNG) 저장용기는 무게와 강성의 효율을 위하여 복합재료를 사용하여 외부를 보강하는 새로운 형태의 구조를 사용하고 있다. 이러한 다층 복합소재의 사용으로 기존의 손상탐지기법으로는 저장용기의 외부에서 가해지는 충격 혹은 결함에 의한 저장탱크에 발생한 손상의 측정이 매우 어렵게 되었다. 이러한 한계를 극복하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 선행연구를 통하여 개발된 에너지 기반 contour D/B map 기법을 이용하여 4 가지 형식의 CNG 저장탱크에 발생한 외부 충격 신호의 손상 위치를 측정하였다. 각각의 형식의 저장탱크에서 측정된 손상 위치 결과를 비교 분석하여 새로운 기법의 측정 성능을 알아보았다.

  • This paper presents a numerical and experimental study of sloshing loads on liquefied natural gas (LNG) vessels. Conventional LNG carriers with membrane-type cargo systems have filling restrictions from 10% to 70% of tank height. The main reason for such restrictions is high sloshing loads around these filling depths. However, intermediate filling depths cannot be avoided for most LNG vessels except the LNG carrier. This study attempted to design a membrane-type LNG tank with a modified lower-chamfer shape that allows all filling operations. First, numerical sloshing analysis was carried out to find an efficient height of the lower-chamfer that can reduce sloshing pressure at partially filled conditions. The numerical sloshing analysis program SHI-SLOSH was used for numerical simulation; this program is based on SOLA-VOF. The effectiveness of the newly designed tanks was validated by 1:50-scale three-dimensional tank tests. A total of three different tanks were tested: a conventional tank and two modified tanks. As test conditions, various filling depths and wave periods were considered, and the same test conditions were applied to the three tanks. During the test, slosh-induced dynamic pressures were measured around the corners of the tank wall. The measured pressure data were post-processed and the pressures of the three different tanks were statistically compared in several ways. Experimental results show that the modified tanks were quite effective in reducing sloshing loads at low filling conditions. This study demonstrated the possibility of all filling operations for LNG cargo containment systems.
