Fuel reforming technology for the fuel cell vehicles could be applied to internal combustion engine for the reduction of engine out emissions. Since syngas which is reformed from fossil fuel has hydrogen as a major component, it has abilities to enhance the combustion characteristics with wide flammability and high speed flame propagation. In this study, syngas was added to a gasoline engine to improve combustion stability and exhaust emissions of idle state. Syngas fraction is varied to 0%, 50%, 100% with various ignition timing and excess air ratio. Combustion stability, exhaust emissions, fuel consumption and exhaust gas temperature were measured to investigate the effects of syngas addition on idle performance. Results showed that syngas has ability to widely extend lean operation limit and ignition retard range with dramatical reduction of engine out emissions.

According to the stringent exhaust emission regulation, precise control of air fuel ratio is one of the most important issues on gasoline engine. Although many researches have been carried out to identify the fuel transport phenomena in a port fueled gasoline engine, complexity of fuel film behavior in the intake port makes it difficult. The fuel film behavior was investigated recently by using visualization method and these gave us qualitative understanding. The purpose of this study is to estimate of wall wetting fuel in the intake port and the inducted fuel mass was predicted by using wall wetting fuel model . The model coefficient($\alpha$,$\beta$) and fuel film mass on the port wall were determined from measured in-cylinder HC concentration using FRFID after injection off. The fuel film mass was increased, but $\alpha$(ratio of directly inducted fuel mass into cylinder from injected fuel mass) was decreased with increasing load at the same engine speed. $\beta$is nearly constant value(0.8~0.9). when injected fuel mass is varied at 1500rpm , the calculated air fuel ratio using well wetting fuel model was nearly the same as measured by UEGO.

A microwave plasma torch at the atmospheric pressure by making use of magnetrons operated at the 2.45 GHz and used in a home microwave oven has been developed. This electrodeless torch can be used to various areas, including industrial, environmental and military applications. Although the microwave plasma torch has many applications, we in the present work focused on the microwave plasma torch operated in pure steam and several applications, which may be used in future and right now. For example, a high-temperature steam microwave plasma torch may have a potential application of the hydrocarbon fuel reforming at one atmospheric pressure. Moreover, the radicals including hydrogen, oxygen and hydroxide molecules are abundantly available in the steam torch, dramatically enhancing the reaction speed. Also, the microwave plasma torch can be used as a high-temperature, large-volume plasma burner by injecting hydrocarbon fuels in gas, liquid, and solid into the plasma flame. Finally, we briefly report treatment of soils contaminated with oils, volatile organic compounds, heavy metals, etc., which is an underway research in our group.

본 논문에서는 발포 복합재료의 제작을 위한 펄트루전 공정의 최적화에 관한 연구가 수행되었다. 페놀 수지가 기지 재료로 사용된 발포 복합재료는 경량임에도 불구하고 높은 기계적 강도와 열, 화염에 대한 저항력을 지닌다는 장점이 있다. 또한 제조 과정 중의 기포의 핵 생성율과 성장 시간, 생성된 기포의 균일도에 따라서 다양한 특성의 변화를 보이며 이는 공정 중의 가열 온도, 당김 속도, 그리고 포함된 발포제의 양, 초기온도, 경화재의 양 등 여러 요소의 영향을 받는다. 본 연구에서는 주요 공정변수인 가열 온도, 당김 속도 그리고 발포제의 양에 따른 발포 거동을 미세 형상의 관찰을 통해 실험적으로 분석하였다.

This paper describes gas turbine combustion characteristics of synthetic natural gas which contains a small amount hydrogen content. By conducting ambient pressure high temperature combustion test at gas turbine relevant combustor geometry, the combustion characteristics such as combustion instability, NOx and CO emission, temperatures at turbine inlet, nozzle and dump plane, and flame structure from high speed OH chemiluminescence images were investigated when changing hydrogen content from zero to 5%. From the results, qualitative and quantitative relationships are derived between key aspects of combustion performance, notably NOx/CO emission and combustion instability. Natural gas containing hydrogen up to 5% does not show significant difference in view of all combustion characteristics except combustion instability. Only up to 1% hydrogen addition could not change the pressure fluctuation and phase gas between fluctuations of pressure and heat release. From the results, it can be concluded that synthetic national gas which contains 1% of hydrogen can be guaranteed for the stable and reliable operation of natural gas firing gas turbine.

Fire whirl은 도시 및 산림화재와 같이 광범위한 지형에서 주로 발생하며, 화염주위 환경의 불안전성에 의해 발생하는 현상이다. Fire whirl은 드물게 발생하지만, 높은 흡입력과 양력을 가지게 되어 연소속도를 증가시키는 매우 위험한 현상이다. 본 연구에서는 산림화재에서 발생하는 fire whirl 특성에 대한 고찰을 위해 굴참나무 낙엽을 이용한 fire whirl 실험 및 수치해석 연구를 실시하였다. 실험 결과 유입공기의 속도가 증가함에 따라 화원주위의 회전강도가 증가하여 발열량 및 화염길이가 일반 풀화재에 비해 최대 22.8%, 18.4% 증가하였으며, 수치해석은 실험결과와 유사한 경향을 나타내었다.

모형 연소실에서 충돌형 분사기의 연소 안정성 평가를 위해 시간지연(time lag)과 간섭인자(interaction index)의 관계를 연구하였다. 산화제 분사 속도의 5%에 해당하는 섭동을 공진주파수로 인위적으로 가진하여 이에 대한 화염의 응답특성을 분석하였다. 연료와 산화제의 혼합지점인 충돌점들, 즉, 특성길이 위치에서 속도섭동과 열방출율 섭동간의 관계를 시간지연 모델을 이용하여 나타내었다. 시간지연을 정량화하는 개선된 방법으로서, 수치해석을 통해 얻은 결과로부터 분사기 출구면으로부터 충돌점까지 평균속도를 이용하는 방법을 제안하였다. 축방향의 평균속도가 증가할수록 시간지연이 짧아지는 경향성을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 항공유가 극초음속 비행체용 능동냉각시스템의 냉원으로 사용되면서 흡열분해된 후의 연소특성을 확인하는 연구의 일환으로, 흡열분해 모사연료에 대한 층류화염 전파속도를 측정하였다. 흡열분해 모사연료 2종(SF-1, 2)을 제조하고 분젠버너 시험장치를 제작하여 층류화염속도를 측정한 결과 기준연료(RF)와 비교해 보면 전체적으로 높은 당량비에서 화염전파속도가 빠르게 나타나고 있으며, 특히 SF-1이 SF-2 및 RF보다 훨씬 높은 당량비에서 최대 속도를 가짐을 확인하였다.

The operations in the design lifecycle of a nuclear power plant targeted to be decommissioned lead to neutron activation. Operations in the decommissioning process include cutting, decontamination, disposal, and processing. Among these, cutting is done close to the target material, and thus workers are exposed to radiation. As there are only a few studies on pressurizers, there arises the need for further research to assess the radiation exposure dose. This study obtained the specifications of the AP1000 pressurizer of Westinghouse and the distribution of radionuclide inventory of a pressurizer in a pressurised water reactor for evaluation based on literature studies. A cutting scenario was created to develop an optimal method so that the cut pieces fill a radioactive solid waste drum with dimensions 0.571 m × 0.834 m. The estimated exposure dose, estimated using the tool VISIPLAN SW, in terms of the decontamination factor (DF) ranged from DF-0 to DF-100, indicating that DF-90 and DF-100 meet the ICRP recommendation on exposure dose 0.0057 mSv/h. At the end of the study, although flame cutting was considered the most efficient method in terms of cutting speed, laser cutting was the most reasonable one in terms of the financial aspects and secondary waste.
