This paper presents guideline for a practical design of the hybrid system combining a pressurized solid oxide fuel cell and a gas turbine. Design of the hybrid system based on a virtually designed gas turbine was simulated using models for off-design operation of the gas turbine. Two system configurations, with different method for supplying reforming steam, are considered and their design characteristics are compared. A higher design cell temperature provides better system performance. However, there exists a maximum allowable design cell temperature because the operating point of the compressor approaches the surge point with increasing fuel cell temperature. Increased pressure loss at the fuel cell moves the compressor operating point toward the surge point and reduces system performance.

An experimental investigation was conducted to investigate the effects of the equivalence ratio and air mass flux on the combustion efficiency in a solid fuel ramjet used fuel grains which were highly loaded with boron carbide. Combustion efficiency increased with increasing equivalence ratio (grain length), and decreasing air mass flux. Higher inlet air temperature produced higher combustion efficiencies, apparently the result of enhanced combustion of the larger boron particles those bum in a diffusion controlled regime. Short grains which considered primarily of the recirculation region produced larger particles and lower combustion efficiencies. The result of the normalized combustion efficiency increased with inlet air temperature, is coincident with the result of the Brayton cycle thermal and the total efficiency relating to the heat input.

This study presents analysis results for the hybrid system combining solid oxide fuel cell and gas turbine. Two different system layouts(an ambient pressure system and pressurized system) are considered and their design performance are comparatively investigated taking into account critical design factor, the most critical parameter such as turbine inlet temperature, gas turbine pressure ratio, temperature difference at the fuel cell and fuel cell operating temperature are considered as design constraints. Performance variations according to system layout and design parameters are examined in energetic view point.

Biomass is an abundant renewable energy resource that can replace fossil fuels for the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG). Indonesia has a large number of cheap biomass feedstocks, such as reforestation (waste wood) and palm residues (empty fruit bunch or EFB). In general, raw biomass contains more than 20% moisture and lacks calorific value, energy density, grindability, and combustion efficiency. Those properties are not acceptable fuel attributes as the conditions currently stand. Recently, torrefaction facilities, especially in European countries, have been built to upgrade raw biomass to solid fuel with high quality. In Korea, there is no significant market for torrefied solid fuel (co-firing) made of biomass residues, and only the wood pellet market presently thrives (~ 2 million ton yr-1). However, increasing demand for an upgraded solid fuel exists. In Indonesia, torrefied woody residues as co-firing fuel are economically feasible under the governmental promotion of renewable energy such as in feed-in-tariff (FIT). EFB, one of the chief palm residues, could replace coal in cement kiln when the emission trading system (ETS) and clean development mechanism (CDM) system are implemented. However, technical issues such as slagging (alkali metal) and corrosion (chlorine) should be addressed to utilize torrefied EFB at a pulverized coal boiler.

A YSZ electrolyte based ceramic supported Solid Oxide Cell (SOC) and a metal interconnect supported SOC was investigated under both fuel cell and co-electrolysis (steam and $CO_2$) mode at $800^{\circ}C$. The single cell performance was analyzed by impedance spectra and product gas composition with gas chromatography(GC). The long-term performance in the co-electrolysis mode under a current density of $800mA/cm^2$ was obtained using steam and carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) mixed gas condition.

The purpose of this study is to derive the mixing ratio with stable heating value to be used as fuel and secondary fuel by mixing sewage sludge cake, tar, peat moss, and verify the combustion property of produced solid fuel and the applicability of RDF as alternative fuel. Tar shows the highest heating value with 7,000kcal/kg and the heating value of sewage sludge cake and peat moss ranges from 4,000 to 4,500kcal/kg. Also, the solid fuel with length 1.6cm, diameter 1.3cm and weight 2.3g was produced using the heating value of over 6,000kcal/kg and proper mixing ratio (sewage sludge cake: tar: peat moss) from 1 : 4 : 1 to 1 : 7 : 1. Upon the analysis of the RDF applicability of produced solid fuel, the exhaust gas analysis finds that the composition concentration of exhaust gas occurred according to the mixing ratio did not change significantly and the flame lasting time was found to be around 5 minutes, similar to the lasting time of the same mass (2.3g) of general anthracite burned. Therefore, it can be concluded that solid fuel produced in this study can be used as fuel and secondary fuel.

For resource Recycle society, the Ministry of Environment is recently propeling the introduction of MSW(Municipal Solid Waste) pretreatment facilities(MBT) from advanced country such as Germany. On the basis of this, The Ministry of Environment plans to expand all over the country after the adaption of wide area style(Sudokwon landfill : 200 ton/day), urban communities style(Bucheon City : 90 ton/day), Semi-urban(Gangreung City : 150 tons/a day), farm village style (Buan : 30 ton/day).

비행탄의 종말속도증대를 위하여 고체램제트를 이용하는 개념은 현재 세계적으로 여러나라에서 연구 중에 있다. Solid Fuel Ramjet Propulsion(고체연료 렘제트 추진)은 로켓추진에 비하여 월등히 높은 비추력을 가지며 구조적으로 매우 간단하여 탄의 사거리 및 평균속도를 증대시키는 좋은 수단으로 사용되고 있다. 그러나 간단한 구조에도 불구하고 고체렘제트의 작동은 매우 다양한 물리적 현상이 연관되므로 필요한 성능을 얻기 위해서는 이들의 상호 작용을 고려하여 설계의 최적화 및 성능 예측이 필요하다.
