염분이 함유된 콘크리트 모사 세공용액 중에서의 철근 부식반응을 Tafel 분극법과 교류 임피던스법에 의해 비교 고찰하였으며, 철근 표면의 거칠기와 산화피막층에 의한 부식거동을 연구하였다. 전기화학적 교류 임피던스법에 의한 철근부식의 진단은 매우 유용하며, 제안된 모델과 실험결과가 잘 일치하였다. 염분농도가 증가할수록 부식전위는 cathodic-방향으로 이동하여 부식확률이 증가하였으며, 부식전류도 동일한 양상을 보였다. 철근 표면의 산화피막은 주사전자현미경과 AES (Auger electron spectroscopy)로 분석하였다. Torch로 15초간 열처리하여 형성된 철근표면의 산화피막은 오히려 철근부식을 촉진하였으며, 철근 표면의 거칠기가 증가할수록 부식속도는 증가하였다. 또한, 초기 콘크리트 모사세공 용액의 온도 증가는 철근 부식속도의 증가를 가져왔다.

연료전지는 환경 친화적 대체에너지로 지속적인 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 최근에는 연료전지의 실용화를 위해 적층, 대면적화에 대한 기본 기술이 중요시되고 있다. 그러나 연료전지중 가장 많은 기술적 발전을 이룬 인산형 연료전지에 관해서도 연료전지 설계의 기초자료가 되는 스택의 온도 분포에 대한 연구는 거의 발표되지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 인산형 연료전지 스택의 온도 분포를 전산모사하였다. 이를 통하여 여러 작동 조건에서 스택의 온도 분포를 알아내었으며, 스택 운전시 적절한 온도 측정 위치를 예측할 수 있었다. 또한 냉각단의 유로를 변경하여 전산모사를 수행한 결과 스택 내부의 온도 분포의 표준 편차를 약 50% 감소시키는 효과적인 냉각 디자인을 제안할 수 있었다.

Design performance of hybrid power generation systems, comprised of a gas turbine and an atmospheric pressure molten carbonate fuel cell, has been analyzed. Two different configurations were analyzed and performances were compared. A reference calculation was performed for the design condition of a system under development and simulated results agreed well with the published data. Performances were analyzed in terms of main design parameters including turbine inlet temperature, operating temperature of the fuel cell and pressure ratio. Also examined were the effects of fuel utilization factor and heat exchanger effectiveness. It was found that the relationship between the turbine inlet temperature and the fuel cell temperature should be critically examined to evaluate achievable design performance. Considering current state of the art technologies, a system with the combustor located before the turbine could achieve higher efficiency and specific power than the other system with the combustor located after the turbine.

The present work determined the flame structure characteristics of coal syngas combusted inside swirl burners with various nozzle types. Fuel nozzle types are largely classified into two groups of axial and tangential. Experiments were carried out for investigating the effects of fuel nozzle geometry, fuel composition ratio, heating rate, excess air, and degree of swirl on the turbulent diffusion flame structure. To determine the characteristics of the flame structure, axial type fuel nozzle diameter of laboratory-scale combustor is varied to 1.23, 1.96, and 2.95 ㎜ and the direction of tangential type nozzles are varied to radial, clockwise, and counter-clockwise. The comparison of the experimental results was performed to understand functional parameters relating the flame structure. Data analysis showed that the vertical straight flame height generally decreased with increasing swirl number and decreasing axial type nozzle diameter. Flame height established with tangential type nozzle is 3 times shorter than that with vertical type. The flame structures among the 3 different tangential fuel nozzles relatively showed no particular difference. By increasing the heating rate, the width of flame increased generally in both vertical and tangential flame. Within the present experimental parameters of the investigation, flame structure is mainly depends on the nozzle type of the combustor. The visually investigated flame lengths are confirmed through the analysis of temperature profile of each flame.

In this study, two types of central flow distributor designs are presented and compared to obtain the optimal compact design which has the least flow resistance and the uniform flow distribution in a vehicular fuel cell stack. For effective and reliable prediction on the thermo-flow characteristics of the reactants flow over the entire fuel cell stack domain, open channel flow in the bipolar plates of the power generating cells were simulated by applying a simplified flow resistance model with an empirical porous concept. A number of case studies were performed to figure out an optimal configuration of a central flow distributor device in terms of the time-dependent thermo-flow behavior and load-dependent flow distribution. The results showed that the stable and load-independent thermo-flow uniformity is very design specific, which is closely associated with the design of central manifolding devices in order to achieve the enhanced volumetric power density and the reliable long-lasting operating of fuel cells.

It is envisaged that the effect of increasingly stricter air emissions legislation implemented through IMO Annex VI and other local air quality controls, together with favorable financial conditions for the use of natural gas instead of liquid fuel oil as a bunker fuel, will see an increasing number of DF engine and single gas fuel engine applications to LNG carriers and other vessel types. As part of provision for the current international movements in the shipping industry to reduce GHG emission in air, new design concepts using natural gas as an alternative fuel source for propulsion of large commercial vessels, have been developed by shipyards and research institutes. In this study, an explosion analysis for a gas supply machinery room of LNG-fuelled container ship is presented. The gas fuel concept is employed for the high pressure ME-GI where a leakage in the natural gas double supply pipe to the engines is the subject of the present analysis. The consequences of a leak are simulated with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tools to predict typical leak scenarios, gas cloud sizes and possible explosion pressures. In addition, capacity of the structure which is subject to explosion loads has been assessed.

The present study aims to investigate the flow characteristics with respect to fuel type and equivalence ratio in the flame spray coating process. The flame spray flow is characterized by much complex phenomena including combustion, turbulent flows, and combined heat transfer. The present study numerically simulated the flam spray process and examined the gas dynamics involving combustion, gas temperature and velocity distributions in flame spray process by using commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code of FLUENT (ver. 13.0). In particular, we studied the effect of fuel type and equivalence ratio on thermal and flow characteristics which could substantially affect the coating performance. From the results, it was found that the gas temperature distributions were varied with different fuels because of reaction times were different according to the fuel type. The equivalence ratio also could change the spatial flame distribution and the characteristics of coated layer on the substrate.

While variable valve actuation or variable valve lift (VVL) is used increasingly in spark ignition (SI) engines to improve the volumetric efficiency or to reduce the pumping losses, it is necessary to understand the impact of variable valve lift and timing on the in-cylinder gas motions and mixing processes. In this paper, characteristics of the in-cylinder flow and fuel distribution for various valve lifts (4, 6, 8, 10 mm) were simulated in a GDI engine. It is expected that the investigation will be helpful in understanding and improving GDI combustion when a VVL system is used. The CFD results showed that a increased valve lift could significantly enhance the mixture and in-cylinder tumble motion because of the accelerated air flow. Also, it can be found that the fuel distribution is more affected by earlier injection (during intake process) than that of later injection (end of compression). These may contribute to an improvement in the air-fuel mixing but also to an optimization of intake and exhaust system.

연구로용 우라늄-실리사이드 분산 핵연료에서의 응력 및 변형율 분포를 계산할 수 있는 변형모델을 개발하였다. 이 변형모델은 탄소성이론 및 지수법칙 크리프이론을 기초로 한 것이며, 또한 등방 핵연료팽윤 및 열팽창을 가정하였다. 개발된 모델을 HANARO 및 카나다의 NRU 핵연료에 적용하여 본 결과 핵연료의 변형을 성공적으로 계산하는 것으로 판단되었다. 계산결과에 따르면, 연구로용 우라늄-실리사이드 분산핵연료가 연소할 때 핵연료심에서 가장 중요한 변형기구는 팽윤이며, 피복관에서 가장 중요한 변형기구는 크리프이다. 또한, 피복관에서 원주방향 최대응력은 항상 5 MPa 이하로서 항복응력보다 훨씬 낮게 유지되었다. 여기서 고려한 두 핵연료설계에 대해서 전 연소도 범위에서 핵연료봉의 부피변화는 10% 이하로 예측되었다.

Nuclear fuels are always exposed to hot temperature and high speed coolant flow during the reactor operation. Thus the fuel rod accompanies small amplitude vibration due to the turbulent flow. The random vibration causes friction between the fuel rod and the grid structure which provides the lateral supports. The friction is critical to the fuel rod fretting wear, and it degrades fuel performance when a severe wear is developed. LuGre friction model is introduced in the paper, and the performance was evaluated comparing to the classical Coulomb model. It is shown that the developed friction force considering the Coulomb friction is not enough to stop or delay the motion while the stick-slip can be simulated using LuGre friction model. Numerical solutions of the two dimensional spacer grid cell model with the modern friction are also reviewed, and it is discussed that the new friction model simulates well the nonlinear mechanism.
