바이오중유란 다양한 동·식물성 유지, 지방산 메틸에스테르, 지방산 에틸에스테르 및 그 부산물 을 혼합하여 제조된 제품이며, 국내 기력 중유발전기의 연료(B-C)로 사용되고 있다. 그러나 이러한 바이오 중유의 원료 조성 때문에 발전기의 보일러로 이송되는 연료펌프, 유량펌프, 인젝터 등의 연료 공급시스템 에서 마찰마모를 유발할 경우 심각한 피해를 초래 할 수 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 발전용 바이오중유의 다양한 원료들의 연료특성과 이에 따른 윤활성을 평가하고, 발전기의 마찰마모 저감을 위한 발전용 바이오 중유의 연료 구성 방안을 제시하였다. 발전용 바이오중유 원료물질의 윤활성(HFRR)은 평균 137 μm이며, 원료물질에 따라 차이가 있으나 60μm ~ 214 μm 분포를 보이고 있다. 이 중 윤활성이 좋은 순서는 Oleo pitch > BD pitch > CNSL > Animal fat > RBDPO > PAO > Dark oil > Food waste oil이다. 발전용 바이오중유의 원료 물질 3종으로 구성된 바이오중유 평가시료 5종에 대한 윤활성은 평균 151 μm이며, 101 μm ~ 185 μm 분포를 보이고 있다. 이 중 윤활성이 좋은 순서는 Fuel 1 > Fuel 3 > Fuel 4 > Fuel 2 > Fuel 5이다. 바이오중유 평가시료(평균 151 μm)는 C중유(128 μm) 대비 낮은 윤활성을 나타내었다. 이는 발전용 바이오중유가 지방산 물질로 구성되어 있어 C중유보다 파라핀, 방향족 성분 함량이 낮아 점도 가 낮고, 산가가 높기 때문에 산성 성분에 의한 윤활막 형성 저해에 따른 것으로 판단된다. 따라서, 적정 수준의 마찰마모 저감을 위해 윤활성을 증가 시킬 수 있는 바이오중유의 원료로서 Oleo pitch, BD pitch를 60% 이상 함유할 경우 연료 제조 시 윤활성 증가가 예상된다.

우리나라 시설 재배면적은 2015년 기준 52,526ha이고 이 중 난방면적은 15,878ha이다. 이중 석유를 이용하여 난방하는 온실 면적은 13,314ha로서 전체 난방면적의 84%를 차지하고 있다. 고가의 시설비가 투자된 자동화 온실에서 겨울철에 난방기를 사용하여 채소 및 화훼류를 재배할 경우 생산비 중에 난방 비가 차지하는 비중이 40%를 웃돌고 있다. 우리나라의 폐윤활유 발생량은 2015년에는 249,965kL이고 이중 회수량은 197,469kL로서 발생량의 79% 수준이다. 또한 회수한 폐윤활유의 재활용량은 2015년 기 준 195,691kL로서 재활용율이 99%에 달한다. 그러므로 저가의 대체연료 사용에 따른 농가 소득 증대의 관점에서 볼 때 시설난방에 폐윤활유를 사용하는 것은 매우 중요하다고 할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 폐윤활유를 농용 난방기의 연료로서의 사용 가능성을 분석하고자 하였다. 연구결과 농용 난방기의 연소 가스온도는 폐윤활유를 연료로서 사용하였을 때가 중유를 연료로서 사용했을 때에 비해 평균 6.1%, 경 유를 연료로 사용하였을 때보다 평균 3.1% 높게 나타났다.

The coating of solid lubricant on the part of fixed or orbiting scroll wrap in a scroll compressor can not only reduce friction loss, noise & vibration and time cost for surface finishing but also improve efficiency and performance of the compressor. In this study, we found the most appropriate combination of the solid lubricant by carrying out many measurements and tests such as coefficient of friction, surface structure, the coating thickness and surface roughness for the various cases. We have come to conclusion that the most appropriate solid lubricant can be obtained by adding WS2 3% to Base(SM 3901) without any solvent and filler.

바이오디젤은 세계 화석연료의 흐름을 변화시킬 수 있는 환경 친화적 대체물질로 관심의 대상이 되고 있으며 대체연료 외에도 다양한 분야에서 수많은 응용 연구가 진행되고 있다. 최근에는 원유의 정제로부터 얻어진 석유제품을 대체하려는 다양한 움직임이 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 그 중 윤활기유로서의 식물성 오일은 급속도로 발전된 석유산업으로 인해 상용화 되지 못했던 오일로 관심의 대상이 되고 있으며 자연친화적 생분해성과 무독성, 윤활유로서의 낮은 휘발성과 우수한 계면윤활 등 대체 오일로써 충분한 가능성을 지니고 있다. 하지만 우수한 윤활 및 마모성능에도 불구하고 윤활연구에 넓게 활용되지 못했던 이유 중에는 지방산메틸에스테르가 갖는 열악한 산화안정성(oxidation stability) 및 열화안정도(thermal stability) 때문으로 보고되고 있다. 따라서 바이오디젤을 윤활기유 내 일정비율로 혼합하여 윤활성능 및 산화안정성의 변화를 확인하였으며 사구식 내마모 성능시험 후 발생되는 산화 및 열화현상을 알아보았다. 또한 산화에 따른 혼합 오일의 윤활특성 변화를 분석하였으며 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 윤활유 또는 윤활 향상제로서의 가능성을 살펴보았다.

PURPOSES : This study is to develop a method to evaluate lubrication of asphalt binder using WMA additives and compare their lubrication effects on two types of WMA additives and three types of asphalt film thicknesses. METHODS : This study is based on laboratory experiments and rheological analysis of the experimental results. Testing materials are aggregate diskes, asphalt, and WMA additives. The main testing method is stress sweep test by using dynamic shear rheometer (DSR). RESULTS : Sasobit gives more lubrication effects on film thicknesses 0.2mm and under but LEADCAP does on film thicknesses over 0.3mm. CONCLUSIONS : LVE-Limit is a better parameter to discern the lubrication effects on the thin film asphalt thickness. Both Sasobit and LEADCAP WMA additives provide effective lubrication at the compaction temperature.

The synovial tissues are a valuable MSCs source for cartilage tissue engineering because these cells are easily obtainable by the intra-articular biopsy during diagnosis. In this study, we isolated and characterized the canine MSCs derived from synovial fluid of female and male donors. Synovial fluid was flushed with saline solution from pre and post-puberty male (cM1-sMSC and cM2-sMSC) and female (cF1-sMSC and cF2-sMSC) dogs, and cells were isolated and cultured in advanced-DMEM (A-DMEM) supplemented with 10% FBS in a humidified 5% atmosphere at . The cells were evaluated for the expression of the early transcriptional factors, such as Oct3/4, Nanog and Sox2 by RT-PCR. The cells were induced under conditions conductive for adipogenic, osteogenic, and chondrogenic lineages, then evaluated by specific staining (Oil red O, von Kossa, and Alcian Blue staining, respectively) and analyzed for lineage specific markers by RT-PCR. All cell types were positive for alkaline phosphatase (AP) activity and early transcriptional factors (Oct3/4 and Sox2) were also positively detected. However, Nanog were not positively detected in all cells. Further, these MSCs were observed to differentiate into mesenchymal lineages, such as adipocytes (Oil red O staining), osteocytes (von Kossa staining), and chondrocytes (Alcian Blue staining) by cell specific staining. Lineage-specific genes (osteocyte; osteonectin and Runx2, adipocytes; PRAR-, FABP and LEP, and chondrocytes; collagen type-2 and Sox9) were also detected in all cells. In this study, we successfully established synovial fluid derived mesenchymal stem cells from female and male dogs, and determined their basic biological properties and differentiation ability. These results suggested that synovial fluid is a valuable stem cell source for cartilage regeneration therapy, and it is easily accessible from osteoarthritic knee.

In general, a valve body of the automatic transmission(AT) is controlled by the clutch, the brake and lubricating oil flow in a hydraulic system and lubricant flow for each valve can be adjusted independently. To increase the lifetime of AT, the lubrication flow rate in a valve body for a 6 speed AT based parallel hybrid electric vehicle must be provided with proper oil distribution and control. In this study, we carried out several experiments without the inner parts of AT and with a AT assembly. The variation of the flow rate on oil temperature and pressure between an oil supply port and the outlets of the lubrication port was evaluated and analyzed. In the case of AT without the inner parts, it was evident that as the oil required for an operation of the clutch and brake was discharged from the outlet port, the flow rate from each lubrication port is decreased. However, the flow rate of the AT assembly was slightly increased. In addition, the lubrication flow rate was increased with increasing the oil temperature, and also it was reduced with increasing the oil pressure. Details of the resulting data are discussed.

We developed functional synthetic lubricant for internal combustion engine oil, which would improve engine oil performance for internal combustion engine and extend engine life. We made base oil by synthesizing nonanoic acid, 1.1.1-trimethylol propane (which has good bio-degradability) and pentaerythrytol ester. We synthesized catalyst using p-toluene sulfonic acid 0.15 wt% and coloring-prevention agent hypo-phosphorus acid 0.18 wt% at 180-190℃. Reaction temperature was increased at the rate of 10℃ for every 1 hour. When acid value reached below 3, reaction was completed. After cooling and deoxidization, we washed it by distilled water two times. After dehydration and filtering, we obtained trimethylol propane tripelargonate (TMTP) and pentaerythrytol tetrapelargonate (PETP) at yields of 96 % and 98 % respectively.

Conventional additives were added to a newly synthesized base oil to create synthetic lubricants. Commercial polyol ester prepared in this laboratory were obtained as esterification of 1,1,1-trimethylol propane and respectively. This newly synthesized base oil had a variable chemical structure that could achieved the following properties; oxidation or thermal stability, low temperature fluidity, and higher flash points. When compared with commercial mineral lubricants, the synthetic lubricants show superior thermal and oxidation stability, and anti-wear properties.

Oil-based nanofluids were prepared by dispersing Ag, graphite and carbon black nanoparticles in lubricating oil. Agglomerated nanoparticles were dispersed evenly with a high-speed bead mill and/or ultrasonic homogenizer, and the surfaces of the nanoparticles were modified simultaneously with several dispersants. Their tribological behaviors were evaluated with a pin-on-disk, disk-on-disk and four-ball EP and wear tester. It is obvious that the optimal combination of nanoparticles, surfactants and surface modification process is very important for the dispersity of nanofluids, and it eventually affects the tribological properties as a controlling factor. Results indicate that a relatively larger size and higher concentration of nanoparticles lead to better load-carrying capacity. In contrast, the use of a smaller size and lower concentration of particles is recommended for reducing the friction coefficient of lubricating oil. Moreover, nanofluids with mixed nanoparticles of Ag and graphite are more suitable for the improvement of load-carrying capacity and antiwear properties.

Correlation among the wax-pigment composites which is base vehicles for the crepas was investigated in terms of fadeness. The base wax synthesized and pigments are compounded with petroleum lubricant and exposed under carbon arc individually. The yellowing phenomenon was appeared on the reference papers coated with the spindle oil which was then exposed. The papers were again extracted with distilled water and pH of them were ranged between 6.2-6.5. Color difference from Adam-Nickerson equation, △E of base wax is 0.15 and that of spindle oil are varied from 0.66 to 15.62. Since the main components of the petroleum lubricant are aromatic hydrocarbons which have absorptions characteric of UV ranging from 240 to 280 nm, fadeness characteristics of the composites are largely depend upon the change of molecular structure of spindle oil by absorbing UV. Thus the spindle oil having the following physical properties has the better resistance of fadness and is recommended to use in compounding the base wax-pigment composites: · main component: paraffinic hydrocarbon · pour point: below - 15℃ · UV absorption characteristics: λmax. : 268-290nm · absorbancy: below 0.1(0.03ml of sample/50ml of CHCl3)
