본 논문은 슬로싱 상태에 놓인 포화 상태 액체수소탱크에서 열 유속 및 BOG(Boil-off gas)의 경향을 다루고 있다. 특히, 액체-기체간의 침투 및 혼합에 의한 열 교환에 관심을 두었다. 먼저, VOF(Volume of fluid)와 Eulerian 기반의 다상 유동모델로 모형 슬로싱 실험을 모사하여 압력을 예측하고 계측된 값과 비교하였다. 자유 수면 및 충격 압력 실험 결과와 해석 결과를 비교하였으며, 유체의 속도 예측에서 정확할 수 있음을 간접적으로 증명하였다. 그리고 2차원의 Type-C 원통형 수소탱크를 대상으로 다상열유동해석을 수행하였다. 이때 포화상태에 놓인 액체 및 기체수소를 가정하고, 해석을 통해 각 상간의 혼합에 의한 열 교환의 수준을 확인하고자 하였다. 단, 상간의 열 교환만을 관심으로 두고 있었으므로 질량전달 및 기화모델은 해석에서 제외하였다. 최종적으로 상의 혼합으로 인해 액체수소로 유입되는 열 유속의 기여도에 대하여 정리하였다. 또한 액체수소로 유입되는 열 유속과 집중 질량 기반의 간이식을 통해 BOG 발생량 및 경향을 예측하고 분석하였다.

An experimental study on the design of a catalytic combustor for 1.6 kW MCFC system has been performed. The roles of the catalytic combustor are to completely burn anode off-gas and to supply sufficient $CO_2$ to cathode channels. In order to avoid hot spot or fuel slippage, flow uniformity at the catalyst inlet was achieved by installing two crossing perforated plates between the catalyst and the mixing chamber with minimal pressure drop. A Pd/Ce/Ni-$Al_2O_3$ catalyst was used for complete combustion of the off-gas at GHSV=36,000.

Comparative studies between single- and two-stage refrigeration cycle using propane as a refrigerant have been performed for a vapor recompression refrigeration cycle. PRO/II with PROVISION release 10.2 from AVEVA company was used, and the Soave-Redlich-Kwong equation of state model with Twu's alpha function was selected for the modeling and optimization of the refrigeration cycle for the reliquefaction of BOG coming out from the LPG storage tank. In two-stage refrigeraton cycle, 24.8% of compressor power was reduced compared to that of single-stage refrigeration cycle through the optimization works.

Slush hydrogen containing liquid and solid hydrogen is expected to achieve zero boil-off by suppressing boil-off gas because heat of fusion for solid absorbe the heat ingress from atmosphere. In this paper, quantitative analysis on storage cost considering specific energy consumption between 1,000 m³ class liquid hydrogen storage system with re-liquefaction and slush hydrogen storage system during equivalent zero boil off period. Even though approximately 50% of total storage capacity should be converted into solid phase during the initial cargo bunkering, total energy consumption to convert into slush hydrogen is relatively 25% less than re-liquefaction energy for boil off hydrogen during zero boil off period. That's because energy consumption of slush phase change take up only 1.8% of liquefaction energy. moreover, annual revenue requirement including CAPEX, OPEX and electric cost for slush hydrogen storage could be more reduced approximately 32.5% than those of liquid hydrogen storage and specific energy storage cost ($/kg-H₂) could also be lowered by about 41.7% compared with liquid hydrogen storage.

이 연구에서는 최근의 액체수소안전관련 연구현황을 간략히 살펴보고자 한다. 액체수소 저장용기가 파손되어 액체수소가 누출될 수 있다. 누출된 액체수소는 풀을 형성하고 증발하여 수소증기 운을 형성한 뒤 증기운 폭발이 일어날 수 있다. 액체수소를 저장하고 있는 용기가 외부로부터 유입되는 열에 의하여 증발하는 가스를 처리하지 못할 경우에는 BLEVE가 발생할 수 있다. 압축된 수소가스가 있는 시설에서는 수소누출에 의한 제트화제가 발생하고 지연점화에 의하여 개방공간에서 플래시 화재 및 폭발이 발생할 수 있다. 이러한 여러 가지 사건에 대하여 최근의 기술개발과 향후연구개발 방향에 대하여 간략히 살펴보았다.

Korea government is trying to supply liquid hydrogen from another country to domestic The research for liquid hydrogen transportation and liquefaction plant of hydrogen underway for several years, and empirical research is also planned in the future. Along with the development of liquid hydrogen transport ship/liquefaction plant technology, the development of liquid hydrogen reception base technology must be carried out. In this study, a concept level liquid hydrogen receiving terminal is constructed based on the process of the LNG receiving terminal. Based on this, a study is conducted on the development of analysis technology for the amount of BOG (pipe, tank) generated during cooldown and unloading in the liquid hydrogen unloading line (loading arm to storage tank). The research results are intended to be used as basic data for the design and liquid hydrogen receiving terminal in the future.

Pressure swing adsorption is a purification process which can get pure hydrogen. The purification process is composed of four process: compression, adsorption, desorption and discharge. In this study the adsorption process was simulated by using the Fluent and validated with experimental results. A gas used in experiment is composed of H₂, CO₂, CH₄, and CO. Adsorption process conducted under 313 kelvin and 3 bar and bituminous-coal-based (BPL) activated carbon was used as the adsorbent. Langmuir model was applied to explain the gas adsorption. And diffusion of all the gases was controlled by micro-pore resistances. The result shows that, the most adsorbed gas was carbon dioxide, followed by methane and carbon monoxide. And carbon monoxide took the least amount of time to reach the maximum adsorption amount. The molar fraction of the off-gas became the same as the molar fraction of the gas supplied from the inlet after adsorption reached the equilibrium.

FT process is a technology of chemical reactions that converts a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen into liquid hydrocarbons. During the FT process unreacted gas, known as Off-gas which has low-calorie, is discharged. In this study, we developed an engine that utilize simulated Off-gas, and studied the characteristics of the engine. The off-gas composition is assumed to be $H_2$ 70%, CO 15%, $CO_2$ 15% respectively. Under stoichiometric air-fuel ratio, the experiment was conducted at WOT and IMEP 0.3 Mpa changing compression ratio. Ignition timing was applied with MBT timing. Maximum indicated thermal efficiency 37% was achieved at compression ratio 15 under WOT. CO, $CO_2$ and $NO_x$ were influenced by changing compression ratio, and CO emission was satisfied with the US Tier 4 standard for nonroad engine over the entire experimental conditions.

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.

For commercialization of polymer electrolytemembrane fuel cell (PEMFC), durability of membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) has to be improved. Especially, long-term stability of MEA is one of the most important issues for frequent shut-down and start-up processes of PEMFC. The degradation of MEA could be attributed to chemical attack of hydrogen peroxide radicals that are formed at high cell voltages without any special treatment to remove residual hydrogen from anode gas channel after shut-down of the fuel cell. In this study, we investigated the long-term stability of MEA under different on/off operation conditions. Residential hydrogen gas was removed from the anode flow channel by purging air or nitrogen. Also, a dummy resistance was applied to the fuel cell to exhaust residential hydrogen at the anode. In these cases, MEA showed much more stable durability. Electrochemical characteristics of the fuel cell were measured byrepeating the on/off cycles with the hydrogen removal processes. Also, degradation of MEA components was examined by SEM, TEM and XRD analyses.
