In this study, the Tier 2 method recommended by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was used to predict the methane generation rate at two landfill sites, designated as Y and C for purposes of this study, in South Korea. Factors such as the average annual waste disposal, methane emissions ($L_0$) and methane gas generation rate constant (k) were estimated by analyses of waste and the historical data for the landfills. The value of k was estimated by field experiments and then the changes in the methane generation rate were predicted through the year 2050, based on the value of k. The Y landfill site, which was in operation until the year 2008, will generate a total of 17, 198.7 tons by the end of 2018, according to our estimations. At the C landfill site, which will not be closed until the end of 2011, the amount of methane gas generated in 2011 will be 3,316 tons and the total amount of gas generated by 2029 will be 61,200 tons. The total production rate of methane gas at the C landfill is higher than that of the Y landfill. This indicates that the capacity of a landfill site affects the production rate of methane gas. However, the interrelation between the generation rate of methane and the value of k is weak. In addition, the generation of methane gas does not cease even when the operations at a landfill site come to a close and the methane gas production rate is at its highest at end of the operating life of a landfill site.

This study is focused on the modeling of two phase fluid flow system in the electrode of hydrogen gas generator. The characteristics of hydrogen gas generation was studied in view of efficiency of hydrogen gas generation rate and a tendency of gas flow through the riv of electrode. Since the flow rate of generated gas is the most crucial in determining the efficiency of hydrogen gas generator, we adopted the commercial analytical program of COMSOL $Multiphysics^{TM}$ to calculate the theoretical flow rate of hydrogen gas from the outlet of gas generator.

This study is focused on the channel design of bipolar plate in the electrode of hydrogen gas generator. The characteristics of hydrogen gas generation was studied in view of efficiency of hydrogen gas generation rate and a tendency of gas flow through the riv design of electrode. Since the flow rate and flow pattern of generated gas in the two phase flow system are the most crucial in determining the efficiency of hydrogen gas generator, we adopted the commercial analytical program of COMSOL MultiphysicsTM to calculate the theoretical flow rate of hydrogen gas from the outlet of gas generator and flow pattern of two phase fluid in the electrode. In this study, liquid electrolyte flows into the bipolar plate and decomposed into gas phase, two phase flow simulation is applied to measure the efficiency of hydrogen gas generation.

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas and methane emissions from landfill sites have been linked to global warming. In this study, LandGEM (Landfill Gas Emission Model) was applied to predict landfill gas quantity over time, and then this result was compared with the data surveyed on the site, Cheongju Megalo Landfill. LandGEM allows the input of site-specific values for methane generation rate (k) and potential methane generation capacity $L_o$, but in this study, k value of 0.04/yr and $L_o$ value of $100\;m^3$/ton were considered to be most appropriate for reflecting non-arid temperate region conventional landfilling like Cheongju Megalo Landfill. Relatively high discrepancies between the surveyed data and the predicted data about landfill gas seems to be derived from insufficient compaction of daily soil-cover, inefficient recovery of landfill gas and banning of direct landfilling of food waste in 2005. This study can be used for dissemination of information and increasing awareness about the benefits of recovering and utilizing LFG (landfill gas) and mitigating greenhouse gas emissions.

In this study, the effects of the current pulsing conditions, on the spatter generation rate during the $CO_2$ gas metal arc welding (GMAW) were investigated. Normally using the inverter type power supply, of which the welding current waveform was regulated to reduce the spatter generation rate, but in this study pulsing was imposed on the welding current. Observation of the metal transfer phenomena during the pulsed current GMAS indicated that the droplet transfer from the electrode via the short circuit transfer and the repelling transfer mode could be minimized by selecting optimum combinations of pulsing parameters, which include base and peak current, base and pak duration. It was also demonstrated in this study that proper combinations of the pulsing parameters led to reduce generation of spatters during GMAW shielded by $CO_2$ gas.

Natural gas demand for power generation continued to increase until 2013 due to the expansion of large-scale LNG power plants after the black-out of 2011. However, natural gas demand for power generation has decreased sharply due to the increase of nuclear power and coal power generation. But demand for power generation has increased again as energy policies have changed, such as reducing nuclear power and coal power plants, and abnormal high temperatures and cold waves have occurred. If the gas pipeline pressure can be properly maintained by predicting these fluctuations, it can contribute to enhancement of operation efficiency by minimizing the operation time of facilities required for production and supply. In this study, we have developed a regression model with daily power demand and base power generation capacity as explanatory variables considering characteristics by day of week. The model was constructed using data from January 2013 to December 2016, and it was confirmed that the error rate was 4.12% and the error rate in the 90th percentile was below 8.85%.

매립된 패기물의 분해과정에서 생성되는 부산물로서의 매립가스는 악취와 환경오염을 유발하는 유해한 가스로 여겨져 왔다. 그러나 발열량이 $5,000kcal/m^3$에 달하는 매립가스의 특성은 에너지원으로써의 활용가치가 탁월한데다 지구온난화의 주범으로 떠오르면서 그 회수 필요성이 더욱 강조되고 있어, 재생에너지로서의 매립가스를 대체에너지 자원으로 이용하려는 추세는 매우 고무적인 현상이라 하겠다. 현재 우리나라의 매립가스자원화 사업은 가스엔진을 이용한 전력생산이 대부분을 차지하고 있으며, 부분적으로 중질가스와 고질가스의 활용에도 관심을 보이고 있다. 가스발전기의 가동률과 전력단가의 변동을 고려하여 매립가스의 경제성을 분석해본 결과, 초기 투자비 회수와 지속적인 수익성 확보를 위해서는 최소한 10년 이상의 발전사업 운영 및 전력판매 단가의 현실화가 요구되고 있다.

본 연구의 목적은 폐기물매립지에서의 온실가스 발생량 예측모델 및 모델에 적용된 변수들의 산정방법을 개발하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 온실가스 발생예측 모델 중 1차 반응모델의 변수인 메탄잠재발생량과 메탄발생속도상수를 평가하기 위하여 수정 Gompertz 식과 Logistic 식을 미분한 2개의 식을 적용하였다. 변수들은 실제 폐기물매립지에서의 매립가스 발생량에 대한 실측값과 예측값과의 통계학적 비교를 통해 산정하였다. 매립가스 발생량에 대한 실측값과 수정 Gompertz 식 및 Logistic 식을 미분하여 나타낸 2개의 식을 이용한 매립가스 발생량 예측값에 대한 회귀분석결과 결정계수는 각각 0.92와 0.94로 나타나, 폐기물매립지에서의 매립가스 발생량에 대한 측정값이 있을 경우 회귀분석을 통해 변수를 산정할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 실측값이 없는 폐기물매립지에서의 온실가스 발생량을 예측할 수 있도록 하기 위하여 수정 Gompertz 식과 Logistic 식을 미분한 2개의 식을 기초로 하여 예측모델을 개발하였으며, 이 모델들의 정확성을 평가하기 위하여 Qcs(실측값):Q(예측값)의 비에 대한 빈도분포를 평가한 결과 LandGEM 모델보다 높은 정확성을 나타내었다. 따라서 본 연구에서 개발한 모델들은 폐기물매립지에서의 온실가스 발생량 예측에 적합한 것으로 사료된다.

This study shows the correlation between $NO_x$ emission in the exhaust gas and various operation factors of dual fuel engine for Co-generation system. General tendency was shown that the thermal efficiency was lowered by the change of operation factors. However these were not confirmed on this experiment. Increasing T4 temperature (exhaust gas temperature at turbo-charger inlet) reduces $NO_x$ emission rate. The higher T4 temperature requires lower excess air as the excess air ratio is controlled by T4 temperature on gas mode operation. Another tendency was that $NO_x$ emission rate is reduced in case of increasing boost air temperature, quantity of pilot oil or bypassing flue gas through the exhaust gas boiler. The diameter of the fuel injection nozzle was changed smaller than design value and the injection timing was readjusted. Thus $NO_x$ emission rate could be reduced as retarding injection timing and changing hole diameter of fuel injection nozzle, however maxium engine out-put was decreased by changing fuel nozzle on the diesel mode operation.
