This paper explained the equipment and process development to secure the source technology of controlled nitrification technology. The nitriding potential in the furnace was controlled only by adjusting the flow rate of ammonia gas introduced into the furnace. In addition, a control system was introduced to automate the nitriding process. The equipment's hardware was designed to enable controlled nitriding based on the conventional gas nitriding furnace, and an automation device was attached. As a result of measuring the temperature and quality uniformity for the equipment, the temperature and compound uniformity were ±1.2℃ and 14.3 ± 0.2 ㎛, respectively. And, it was confirmed that nitriding potential was controlled within the tolerance range of AMS2759-10B standard. In addition to parts for controlled nitriding, it was applied to products produced in existing conventional nitriding furnaces, and as a result, gas consumption was reduced by up to 80%.

체적거래제에 의하여 소규모 공동주택에 가스를 공급하기 위하여 적절한 용기설치수의 결정 및 용기교체시기에 대한 검토가 필요하다. 그러나 지금까지 국내에 축적된 자료가 없을 뿐만 아니라 용기 설치수의 결정과 용기수 및 가스사용 형태에 따라 용기교체시 남아 있는 액화석유가스 양에 대한 이론적 검토가 없었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 자연기화능력, 잔량, 용기의 온도, 용기내부 압력 등을 시뮬레이션으로 살펴보았다. 용기표면으로부터 액화석유가스 용기의 총괄 열전달계수의 변화에 따른 자연기화량 변화는 크지 않으며, 실험으로부터 구한 값은 약 $9{\~}13 kcal/m^2{\cdot}hr{\cdot}^{\circ}C$이었다. 그리고 액화석유가스 용기내부의 압력이 압력조정기의 압력조정 하한계에 도달하였을 때 가스방출 유량은 공기로부터 전달되는 열량과 균형을 이루는 일정한 값으로 급격히 감소하였다. LP가스용기의 자연기화능력은 외기온도 및 프로판의 조성에 따라 증가하였고, 연속사용시간에 따라 초기 급격히 감소하여 일정한 값으로 수렴하였다. 한 가구당 용기수는 자동절체기 사용에 의하여 감소시킬 수 있는 것을 알 수 있다.

Syngas, also known as synthesis gas, synthetic gas, or producer gas, is a combustible gas mixture generated when organic material (biomass) is heated in a gasifier with a limited airflow at a high temperature and elevated pressure. The present research was aimed at modifying the existing LPG engine generator for fully operated syngas. During this study, the designed gasifier-powered woodchip biomass was used for syngas production to generate power. A 6.0 kW LPG engine generator was modified and tested for operation on syngas. In the experiments, syngas and LPG fuels were tested as test fuels. For syngas production, 3 kg of dry woodchips were fed and burnt into the designed downdraft gasifier. The gasifier was connected to a blower coupled with a slider to help the air supply and control the ignition. The convection cooling system was connected to the syngas flow pipe for cooling the hot produce gas and filtering the impurities. For engine modification, a customized T-shaped flexible air/fuel mixture control device was designed for adjusting the correct stoichiometric air-fuel ratio ranging between 1:1.1 and 1.3 to match the combustion needs of the engine. The composition of produced syngas was analyzed using a gas analyzer and its composition was; 13~15 %, 10.2~13 %, 4.1~4.5 %, and 11.9~14.6 % for CO, H₂, CH₄, and CO₂ respectively with a heating value range of 4.12~5.01 MJ/Nm³. The maximum peak power output generated from syngas and LPG was recorded using a clamp-on power meter and found to be 3,689 watts and 5,001 watts, respectively. The results found from the experiment show that the LPG engine generator operated on syngas can be adopted with a de-ration rate of 73.78 % compared to its regular operating fuel.

본 연구에서는 온실의 온풍식 난방시스템 연통에 장착할 수 있는 폐열 회수기의 성능 개선을 목적으로 기 설계된 세 가지 열교환 장치와 기존의 장치에서 열교환 면적과 파이프의 두께 및 공기흐름 방향을 개량한 새 열교환 장치에 대해 열회수 성능을 실험적으로 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과 기존의 열 교환장치인 A형, B형 및 C형의 열회수 성능은 동일 송풍전입에서 각각 42.2%, 40.6% 및 54.4% 정도였으나 , 새로 개량된 D형은 69.2%로써 가장 현저히 높게 나타났다. 그러나 열회수용 공기의 흐름방향 변화에 따른 열회수 성능 개선효과 (A형 대비 B형)는 없는 것으로 나타나 적정 송풍기 용량이라면 직선형이 공기의 흐름방향 180${\circ}C$ 굴절시키는 헤어핀형보다 효과적인 것으로 판단된다. 결국 열회수 성능은 열회수 시스템의 열교환 면적과 열교환 파이프의 두께 및 풍속에 크게 좌우되는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 열교환 파이프의 내구성 등 을 고려하여 기능한 한 범위 내에서 열 교환면적을 증대시키거나 열교환 파이프의 두께를 앓게 하고 풍속을 증대시키는 것이 열회수 성능 개선효과와 직결됨을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 송풍기 용량이 필요이상으로 큰 경우, 소비전력이 많게 되는 등의 문제가 있기 때문에 적정용량 및 제품의 안정성을 고려하여 선택해야 할 것으로 판단되었다.

항공기의 착륙장치는 지상에서 동체로 전달되는 충격에너지를 흡수 및 소산시키는 장치이다. 착륙장치 중 반능동형 MR 댐퍼 착륙장치는 다양한 착륙조건에서 높은 충격흡수효율을 보여주며 제어 불능 시 안정성을 확보할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 오리피스가 아닌 환형 관유로를 이용하는 MR 댐퍼 착륙장치의 경우, 유로 압력강하로 인해 발생하는 감쇠력이 MR 댐퍼 내부 형상 구조에 따라 저압 챔버에서 캐비테이션을 유발할 수 있어 기존의 2 자유도계 모델링 기법보다 다중물리시스템 해석 프로그램인 Amesim이 더 유용하다. Amesim을 이용한 해석결과를 바탕으로 착륙장치 내부 유로 형상 배치를 수정하여 캐비테이션을 방지할 수 있는 유로 구조를 제안하였고 낙하 시험 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해 이를 검증하였다. 본 논문에서는 환형 관로 형태 유로 구조를 갖는 MR 댐퍼형 착륙장치의 캐비테이션 발생시 주요 특성을 파악하였고, 아울러 내부형상 배치 수정을 통해 이를 방지하는 방안을 제시하였다.

The research described here was undertaken with the aim of monitoring, optimizing and ultimately controlling the production of heterofermentative microbes used as starters in the salami industry. The use of starter cultures in the fermented meats industry is a well-established technique used to shorten and standardize the ripening process, and to improve and control the organoleptic quality of the final product. Starter cultures are obtained by the submerged cultivation of suitable microorganisms in stirred, and sometimes aerated, fermenters where monitoring of key physiological parameters such as the concentration of biomass, substrates and metabolites suffers from the general lack of real-time measurement techniques applicable to aseptic processes. In this respect, the results of the present work are relevant to all submerged fermentation processes. Previous work on the application of on-line NIR spectroscopy to the lactic acid fermentation (Dosi et al. - Monreal NIR1995) had successfully used a system based on a measuring cell included in a circulation loop external to the fermenter. The fluid handling and sterility problems inherent in an external circulation system prompted us to explore the use of an in-line system where the NIR probe is immersed in the culture and is thus exposed to the hydrodynamic conditions of the stirred and aerated fluid. Aeration was expected to be a potential source of problems in view of the possible interference of air bubbles with the measurement device. The experimental set-up was based on an in-situ sterilizable NIR probe connected to the instrument by means of an optical fiber bundle. Preliminary work was carried out to identify and control potential interferences with the measurement, in particular the varying hydrodynamic conditions prevailing at the probe tip. We were successful in defining the operating conditions of the fermenter and the geometrical parameters of the probe (flow path, positioning, etc.) were the NIR readings were reliable and reproducible. The system thus defined was then used to construct and validate calibration curves for tile concentration of biomass, carbon source and major metabolites of two different microorganisms used as salami starters. Real-time measurement of such parameters coupled with the direct interfacing of the NIR instrument with the PC-based measurement and control system of the fermenter enabled the development of automated strategies for the interactive optimization of the starter production process.
