This paper describes the real operation of 2 kW class reverse-Brayton refrigeration system with neon as a working fluid. The refrigeration cycle is designed with operating pressure of 0.5 and 1.0 MPa at low and high pressure side, respectively. Compressor package consists of several helium scroll compressors witch are originally used for driving GM cryocooler. Three segments of plate heat exchanger are adopted to cover the wide temperature range and the refrigeration power is produced by turbo expander. The developed refrigeration system is successfully operated at its target temperature of 77 K. In experiments, all parameters such as pressure, temperature, mass flow rate and valve opening are measured to investigate characteristics during cool-down process and normal state. The difference between design and real operation is discussed with measured experimental data. At normal state of 77 K operation, the developed reverse-Brayton refrigeration system shows 1.83 kW at 68.2 K of cold-end temperature.

In this research, we used fly-ash and blast-furnace slag as substitute material of cement and fine aggregate, and we, through experiments, researched and analyzed the features of high-flowable concrete added high efficiency AE water reduction agent. The results are below. 1. Liquefaction generally presented high-slump flow value; on the other hand, partial segregation was observed in case of mixing proportion with 65 cm slump flow and above. This segregation was partially improved in accordance with mixing admixture. 2. Compressive strength according to mixing admixture and increasing mixing ratio of fly-ash were subject to be declined when it was initially cast-in, but its gap was improved when time was fully passed. 3. After mixing blast-furnace slag and fly-ash as substitute material, the result showed that the modulus of elasticity against freezing & melting was improved according to mixing blast-furnace slag and also increased in accordance with increasing pulverulent-body volume. 4. According to increasing the mixing volume of fly-ash, the durability factor was deteriorated because compressive strength became lower as well as air content was decreased when it was initially case-in. 5. The minimum air content to secure durability was 3.7%, for that reason, we had better secure admixture such as air entraining agent when cast-in high-flowable concrete.

The purpose of the present work is to establish an ultra-minimal invasive percutaneous puncture inoculation method for a VX2 orthotopic lung cancer rabbit model with fewer technical difficulties, lower mortality of rabbits, a higher success rate and a shorter operation time, to evaluate the growth, metastasis and apoptosis of tumor by CT scans, necropsy, histological examination, flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry. The average inoculation time was 10-15 min per rabbit. The tumorbearing rate was 100%. More than 90% of the tumor-bearing rabbits showed local solitary tumor with 2-10 mm diameters after two weeks post-inoculation, and the rate of chest seeding was only 8.3% (2/24). The tumors diameters increased to 4-16 mm, and irregularly short thorns were observed 3 weeks after inoculation. Five weeks post-inoculation, the liquefaction necrosis and a cavity developed, and the size of tumor grew further. Before natural death, the CT images showed that the tumors spread to the chest. The flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry indicated that there was less apoptosis in VX2 orthotopic lung cancer rabbit model compared to chemotherapy drug treatment group. Minimal invasive percutaneous puncture inoculation is an easy, fast and accurate method to establish the VX2 orthotopic lung cancer rabbit model, an ideal in situ tumor model similar to human malignant tumor growth.

극저온 액체 상태의 LNG는 주거용과 산업용으로 공급되기 전에 가스 상태로 변환된다. 이러한 재가스화 과정 중에 LNG는 $83.7{\times}10^4$ kJ/kg 정도의 많은 냉열에너지를 제공한다. 이 냉열에너지를 일부 선진국들에서는 질소, 수소, 헬륨과 같은 극저온 유체들의 액화, 제빙 및 냉방시스템에 이용하고 있다. 따라서 우리나라에서도 인천, 평택 및 통영 LNG 인수기지 주변에 LNG의 냉열에너지를 이용한 냉열에너지 회수시스템을 설립할 필요가 있다. 여기서는 저열유속상태에서 상변화를 동반하는 LNG의 유동거동 특성을 파악하기 위해 LNG의 85 %를 차지하는 메탄을 작동유체로 사용하였다. 또한 본 논문은 극저온 열교환기 내부를 흐르는 메탄과 질소, 프로판, R11 및 R134a의 유동경계에 영향을 주는 관 직경, 관의 경사각도 및 포화압력의 효과를 보여준다. 또한 여기서 얻어진 이론적 연구결과와 기존의 실험 데이터와도 비교 되었다. 그리고 메탄의 유동경계에 주는 파이프의 경사각도의 영향은 매우 큼을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 액화천연가스(LNG; liquefied natural gas) 재기화 과정에서 버려지는 냉열을 회수하는 방법으로 액화 공기를 생산하는 공정을 개발하였다. 액화 공기는 LNG 수출국으로 운송하여 천연가스 액화를 위한 냉매를 부분적으로 대체하는 용도로 활용될 수 있다. 이를 위하여, 액화 공기는 LNG 운반선에 저장 가능한 압력을 만족하여야 한다. 따라서, 가장 널리 사용되는 멤브레인 탱크로 액화 공기를 운송하기 위해 약 1.3 bar에서 공기가 액체 상태로 존재할 수 있도록 설계하였다. 제안한 공정에서, 공기는 LNG와의 열교환 이후 추가적인 질소 냉매 사이클과의 열교환을 통해 과냉된다. LNG 운반선의 최대 용량만큼 액화 공기를 생산할 때 운송비용 측면에서 가장 경제적일 수 있으며, 천연가스 액화공정에서 활용할 수 있는 냉열이 많아지게 된다. 이를 비교하기 위하여, 동일한 1 kg/s의 LNG 공급 조건 하에서 기존 공정을 이용한 Base case와 제안공정 내 유입 공기 유량을 각각 0.50 kg/s, 0.75 kg/s, 1.00 kg/s으로 하는 Case1, Case2, Case3를 구성하고 열역학적 및 경제적 측면에서 분석하였다. 액화 공기 생산량이 많을수록 1kg의 생산량 당 더 많은 에너지가 요구되는 경향을 보였으며 Case3는 Base case 대비 0.18 kWh 높게 나타났다. 그 결과 Case3의 액화 공기 1 kg 당 생산 비용이 $0.0172 더 높게 나타났다. 그러나 액화 공기의 생산량이 증가함에 따라 1 kg 당 운송 비용이 $0.0395 감소하여 전체 비용 측면에서 Case3는 Base case에 비해 1 kg 당 $0.0223 적은 비용으로 액화 공기를 생산 및 운송할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

매우 낮은 구속응력에서의 모래의 전단강도 및 변형특성은 상대적으로 높은 구속응력의 경우와 매우 상이한 분포를 나타낸다. 따라서 낮은 응력상태를 보이는 지반 위에 놓인 얕은 기초와 제방 등의 안정성, 토석류 혹은 얕은 파괴의 안정성 검토와 실내에서 시행하는 각종 모델시험의 경우 이에 대하여 명확히 규명할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 건조된 주문진 표준사를 대상으로 구속응력을 5kPa~300kPa로 하여 배수 삼축시험을 실시하였으며, 그 결과 내부마찰각(${\phi}$) 및 변형계수($E_s$)가 구속응력(${\sigma}{_c}^{\prime}$)에 따라 크게 변하는 것을 확인하였으며, 이에 따라 구속응력에 대한 조밀 및 느슨한 모래의 내부마찰각과 변형계수의 상관관계식을 제안하였다.

Liquid air energy storage (LAES) using gas liquefaction has attracted considerable attention because of its mature technology, high energy density, few geographical constraints, and long life span. On the other hand, LAES has not yet been commercialized and is being developed recently. Therefore, few studies have performed an economic analysis of LAES. In this study, the levelized cost of electricity was calculated and compared with that of other energy storage systems. As a result, the levelized cost of electricity of LAES was $371/MWh. This is approximately $292/MWh, $159/MWh, $118/MWh, and $3/MWh less than that of the LiCd battery, VRFB battery, Lead-acid battery, and NaS battery. In addition, the cost was approximately $62/MWh and $195/MWh more than that of Fe-Cr flow battery and PHS. Sensitivity analysis of the levelized cost of electricity according to the main economic factors was performed, and economic uncertainty analysis was performed through a Monte-Carlo simulation. The cumulative probability curve showed the levelized cost of electricity of LAES, reflecting price fluctuations in the air compressor cost, electricity cost, and standing reserve hourly fee.

Increasing demand for natural gas and higher natural gas prices in the recent decades have led many people to pursue unconventional methods of natural gas production. POSCO-Gwangyang synthetic natural gas (SNG) project was launched in 2010. As the market price of natural gas goes up, the increase of its price gets more sensitive due to the high cost of transportation and liquefaction. This project can make the SNG economically viable. In parallel with this project, KEPCO (Korea Electric Power Corporation) joined in launching the SNG Quality Standard Bureau along with KOGAS (Korea Gas Corporation), POSCO and so on. KEPCO Research Institute is in charge of SNG fueled gas turbine combustion test. In this research, several combustion tests were conducted to find out the effect of hydrogen contents in SNG on gas turbine combustion. The hydrogen in synthetic natural gas did not affect on gas turbine combustion characteristics which are turbine inlet temperature including pattern factor and emission performance. However, flame stable region in ${\Phi}$-Air flow rate map was shifted to the lean condition due to autocatalytic effect of hydrogen.

본 논문에서는 모래의 비배수 정적전단거동과 반복전단거동의 상호관계를 분석하기 위하여 낙동강 모래를 사용하여 비배수 정적 및 반복삼축시험을 실시하였다. 정적삼축시험은 반복전단거동과의 상호비교를 위하여 인장시험을 포함하여 실시하였다. 그리고 반복삼축시험은 초기정적전단응력$(q_{st})$과 반복응력$(q_{cy})$조건을 조합하여 여러 응력조건 하에서 실시하였다. 시험결과 반복전단거동의 응력경로는 정적전단거동의 한계응력비(CSR)선을 지나면서 유동변형이 발생하여 정적전단거동과 일치하였으며, 그 후 정적전단거동의 파괴선(FL)을 따라 파괴가 발생하였다. 이러한 반복 전단거동의 응력경로는 시험방법이 다름에 따른 약간의 차이는 있으나 정적전단거동의 응력경로와 본질적으로 동일함을 알 수 있었다.

In this study, a theoretical study was conducted on the pre-cooling temperature of hydrogen gas and the heat exchanger area in a small-scale liquefied hydrogen system. The small-scale liquefaction system was built and liquid hydrogen production experiments were performed. In this process, the temperature of precooled hydrogen gas was measure to be about 120 K, and then the possibility of a cause was analyzed through pressure analysis of hydrogen gas and container, and analysis of the amount of liquid hydrogen produced. It was found that some reasonable results were obtained from the theoretical approaches. Based on this theoretical approach, we aim to improve the production of liquid hydrogen by optimizing the heat exchange area according to flow rate.
