78개 셀의 전극유효 면적이 $295cm^{2}$인 고분자 전해질 연료전지(PEMFC) 스택의 운전특성과 CO 피독에 대한 영향을 조사하였다. 전류밀도 $325mA/cm^{2}$에서 출력 5.4kW를 6시간 유지시키는 동안 셀들의 전압편차는 2.3%로 매우 안정함을 보였다. 개질과정의 부산물로 생성되는 CO는 PEHFC의 성능에 중요한 영향을 끼치는 스택의 주 오염물질중의 하나이다. 시간에 따른 연속적인 CO 피독 실험(5-20ppm)은 스택의 피독과 재생과정의 route를 알 수 있었다.

연료 과농 가스발생기의 연소시험이 파워팩 환경에서 수행되었다. 가스발생기는 파워팩 환경에서 특성 길이 증가로 인해 축 방향 연소 불안정에 취약하다. 가스발생기 후단에 압력 강하를 위해 삽입한 오리피스는 축 방향 연소 안정성을 향상시켜주는 것으로 확인되었다. 연소실과 추진제 매니폴드에서 측정한 압력 섭동의 세기는 연소실 압력의 제곱에 비례하여 증가하였다. 특히 연료 매니폴드 내의 압력 섭동이 산화제 매니폴드 또는 연소실 압력 섭동보다 약 2배 이상 크게 발생하였다. 주파수 분석 결과, 연료 매니폴드 압력 섭동은 비선형적인 특성을 내포하고 있는 것으로 파악되었다.

Recently, gas turbines for power generation adopt multistage DLN(Dry Low NOx) type combustion, where diffusion combustion is applied at low load and, with increase in load, the combustion mode is changed to lean premixed combustion to reduce NOx emissive concentration. However, during the mode changeover from diffusion to premixed flame, unfavorable phenomena, such as flashback, high amplitude combustion oscillations, or thermal damage of combustor parts could frequently occur. In the present study, to apply for the analysis of such unfavorable phenomena, three-dimensional CFD investigations are carried out to compare the detailed flow characteristics and temperature distribution inside the gas turbine combustor before and after combustion mode changeover. The fuel considered here is pure methane gas. A standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model with wall function and a P-N type radiation heat transfer model, have been utilized. To analyze the complex geometric effects of combustor parts on combustion characteristics, fuel nozzles, a swirl vane f3r fuel-air mixing, and cooling air holes on the combustor liner wall, are included in this simulation.

Syngas or fuel gas production through biomass gasification is a century old technology. Biomass gasification is getting more and more interest recently as one of competitive renewable energy technologies. It does not contribute to increasing greenhouse gases(GHG). A down-draft gasifier was designed and tested for syngas quality using different fuel sets in this study. The gasifier was of about 100kW capacity. Tests were conducted at air flow rates ranging from 10 to $60m^3/hr$. Fuels tested included wood chips and wood char. The results showd that gas quality in terms of flammability was reasonably good when the temperatures were over $600^{\circ}C$ inside the gasifier. Although $800^{\circ}C$ or higher is recommended, gas quality was reasonably good. If insulation was provided outside the gasifier, the temperature would increase. When wood chips were used, the temperature was below $600^{\circ}C$ and gas quality was not good. It seemed that calorific values of fuel and height of reduction zone in the gasifier are very important. The results of the tests would provide important information for designing more improved gasifier and its operation.

A thermochemical equilibrium model was constructed for predicting composition of synthesis gas in biomass gasification. The model included estimation of equilibrium constants using Gibbs free energy. After constructing the model, the results were compared with the experimental values and predictions from a previous model. Gas compositions were reasonably well agreed with them and showed effects of operational and fuel condition. When the reaction temperature increased, the lower heating values decreased due to the decrease in CH4 concentrations. The methane concentrations were lower than those observed in experimental results. The model was used to predict the gas composition and heating values for the cases of mixed fuel of charcoal and un-dry woodchips. Although downdraft gasifiers require fuels less than 15% of moisture contents, the model results indicated that the mixed fuel with charcoal and woodchips which had over 25% of moisture contents could be used in the downdraft gasifiers. It might be explained by increase in energy density resulting from mixing charcoal. The results imply that the efforts and costs for drying biomass fuels could be reduced by mixing charcoal or fuels with higher calorific values.

Design performances of the fuel cell / gas turbine hybrid power generation systems based on two different fuel cells (PEMFC, SOFC) have been comparatively analyzed. In each system, the fuel cell operates at an elevated pressure corresponding to the compressed air pressure of the gas turbine. Both internally and externally reformed systems were analyzed for the SOFC hybrid system. Component design parameters of 10kW class small systems are assumed. For all hybrid systems, increasing the turbine inlet temperature increases the power portion of the gas turbine. With increasing the turbine inlet temperature, system efficiency decreases in the PEMFC system and the internally reformed SOFC system while that of the externally reformed SOFC system increases slightly. The internally reformed SOFC hybrid system is predicted to exhibit the best system efficiency.

It is important to uniformly supply the fuel gas into the reaction activity area in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). Recent studies have shown that the cell performance can be significantly improved by employing metal foam gas distributor as compared with the conventional bipolar plate types. The metal foam gas distributor has been reported to be more efficient to fuel transport. In this study, three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations have been performed to examine the effects of metal foam flow field design on the fuel supply to the reaction site. Darcy's law is used for the flow in the porous media. By solving additional advection equation for fluid particle trajectory, the gas transport has been visualized and examined for various geometrical configuration of metal foam gas distributor.

Several reactor physics commissioning experiments were conducted to obtain the neutronic parameters at the beginning of the G.A. Siwabessy Multi-purpose Reactor (RSG-GAS) operation. These parameters are essential for the reactor to safety operate. Leveraging the experimental data, this study evaluated the calculated core reactivity, control rod reactivity worth, integral control rod reactivity curve, and fuel reactivity. Calculations were carried out with Serpent 2 code using the latest neutron cross-section data ENDF/B-VIII.0. The criticality calculations were carried out for the RSG-GAS first core up to the third core configuration, which has been done experimentally during these commissioning periods. The excess reactivity for the second and third cores showed a difference of 510.97 pcm and 253.23 pcm to the experiment data. The calculated integral reactivity of the control rod has an error of less than 1.0% compared to the experimental data. The calculated fuel reactivity value is consistent with the measured data, with a maximum error of 2.12%. Therefore, it can be concluded that the RSG-GAS reactor core model is in good agreement to reproduce excess reactivity, control rod worth, and fuel element reactivity.

In fast reactors, restructuring of the fuel micro-structure driven by high temperature and high temperature gradient can cause the formation of columnar grains. The non-spheroidal shape and the non-uniform temperature field in such columnar grains implies that standard models for fission gas diffusion can not be applied. To tackle this issue, we present a reduced order model for the fission gas diffusion process which is applicable in different geometries and with non-uniform temperature fields, maintaining a computational requirement in line with its application in fuel performance codes. This innovative application of reduced order models as meso-scale tools within fuel performance codes represents a first-of-a-kind achievement that can be extended beyond fission gas behaviour.

In recent years, hydrogen-oxygen mixed gas generated by electrically dissociating water has been proposed as alternative cutting fuel. The mixed gas consists of a hydrogen-oxygen mixed gas in the mixture ratio of 2:1. And gas has some merits as cutting quality and speed compared with existing gas cutting process. Because main source of mixed gas is water, mixed gas is environmental-friendly clean fuel. The purpose of the present paper is to investigate cutting characteristics and optimum cutting parameters of mixed gas, The effect of cutting parameter on the cutting characteristics of mixed gas is also investigated as compared to existing gas cutting process.
