Batch experiments were performed to develop the method for the pH reduction of recycled aggregate by using $scCO_2$ (supercritical $CO_2$), maintaining the pH of extraction water below 9.8. Three different aggregate types from a domestic company were used for the $scCO_2$-water-recycled aggregate reaction to investigate the low pH maintenance of aggregate during the reaction. Thirty five gram of recycled aggregate sample was mixed with 70 mL of distilled water in a Teflon beaker, which was fixed in a high pressurized stainless steel cell (150 mL of capacity). The inside of the cell was pressurized to 100 bar and each cell was located in an oven at $50^{\circ}C$ for 50 days and the pH and ion concentrations of water in the cell were measured at a different reaction time interval. The XRD and SEM-EDS analyses for the aggregate before and after the reaction were performed to identify the mineralogical change during the reaction. The extraction experiment for the aggregate was also conducted to investigate the pH change of extracted water by the $scCO_2$ treatment. The pH of the recycled aggregate without the $scCO_2$ treatment maintained over 12, but its pH dramatically decreased to below 7 after 1 hour reaction and maintained below 8 for 50 day reaction. Concentration of $Ca^{2+}$, $Si^{4+}$, $Mg^{2+}$ and $Na^+$ increased in water due to the $scCO_2$-water-recycled aggregate reaction and lots of secondary precipitates such as calcite, amorphous silicate, and hydroxide minerals were found by XRD and SEM-EDS analyses. The pH of extracted water from the recycled aggregates without the $scCO_2$ treatment maintained over 12, but the pH of extracted water with the $scCO_2$ treatment kept below 9 of pH for both of 50 day and 1 day treatment, suggesting that the recycled aggregate with the $scCO_2$ treatment can be reused in real construction sites.

For the recovery of industrial waste heat, a chemical heat transformer based on the reversible reaction between metal chlorides and ammonia gas was designed and a pilot scale unit of 1 kW-1hr was developed. A static calculation, which determined the amount of reacting materials and operating condition of system, and dynamic simulations were performed for the optimal design. The temperature and output power of generator in the system were varying with the amount of salt and heat exchange area. Optimum conditions such as the amount of salt-graphite, apparent density and size of mechanical unit were determined by the dynamic simulation for the system. According to the operating cycle of 4 stages, experimental results of temperature and output power were well agreed with the simulation values. This chemical heat transformer is turned out to be a very promising system for recovery of industrial waste heat because of its effective feature of lifting temperature.

In the field of rocket propulsion system hydrogen peroxide has been used as mono-propellant and as the oxidizer of bi-propellants. At the beginning, hydrogen peroxide was used as mono-propellant for thrusters, but later it had been replaced by hydrazine, which has better specific impulse and storability. On the other hand, to drive turbo-pumps, hydrogen peroxide is still being utilized. As the oxidizer of bi-propellants it was used until 1970's and from 1990's hydrogen peroxide once again got back to developer's interest, because one of the recent development purposes of rocket propulsion system is low-cost and ecologically-clean. Until now the storability of hydrogen peroxide has been remarkably improved. The combination of Kerosene/$H_2O_2$ also shows similar accelerating performance to Kerosene/$LO_x$ combination because of higher propellant density and higher O/F ratio, even though the propulsion performance is not as good as the combination of Kerosene/$LO_x$. Moreover, its combustion products are much cleaner than Kerosene/$LO_x$ combination.

Recently, the technologies related to the swash plate type oil hydraulic piston pump are requiring extreme technologies to overcome the limit of high efficiency in cope with high speed and pressure, and are devoted to compact the unit, to gain low noise level, and to adopt electronic technologies, and the question regarding to maximize the mechanical efficiency, that is, to minimize the torque loss by minimizing the leakage loss in the relative sliding region but these are in trade-off relation that tribological responding is very difficult. Cylinder block-valve pate in high speed relative sliding motion has the characteristics that should be extremely controlled for the optimization of these leakage loss and mechanical efficiency, and pressure resistance designing of them is important for high pressure performance. But, studies on the stress analysis of these parts have not been performed briskly, so in this paper the stress distribution and the region where the highest displacement appears are described through the static stress analysis using CATIA V5. Through the future studies on these theme, it has the purpose of finding the suitable materials for the other parts as well as cylinder block and valve plate, in cope with high pressure operation through the stress analysis with the most similar conditions for the practical operation.

Experiments on methane gas digestion were conducted to prevent livestock pollution and develop substitute energy. When about 30(w/w)% of sludge was added to cow feces, pig feces, and poultry feces and digested at 37$^{\circ}C$ for 20 days, methane gas produced per Kg of organic matter for cow feces, pig feces, poultry feces was 131, 248 and 235 l, respectively. pH decreased slightly at first but increased gradually afterwards during digestion period. When 20, 30, and 40(w/w)% of sludge were added to the mixture of cow feces (300g) and water (200g), the volumes of gas produced were 6.1, 14.5 and 13.4 l, respectively. Volume of methane gas produced from the mixture of cow feces and saw dust was much more than that from the mixture of cow feces and rice polishings. The contents of N, K, P for digestion residues were sufficient to be utilized as a fertilizer. When methane gas digestion was carried out with cow feces in a submersible pump digester the volume of methane gas produced per Kg of organic matter was 188 l. The price of total methane gas produced at this digestion was similar to that of the electric power consumed.

이상기후 및 극한 홍수 발생빈도의 증가 등으로 인해 많은 수공 구조물이 붕괴 위험에 노출되어 있다. 사전 피해 예방 및 경감을 위해 다양한 수공구조물의 붕괴 현상에 대하여 수리실험적 접근방법을 통한 현상이해 및 예상결과 비교 검증이 필요하다. 그 중에서 제방붕괴에 대한 수리실험은 수치모의를 통한 분석의 어려움 때문에 대부분 모형실험을 통해서 이루어지고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 실제규모의 제방붕괴 선행실험의 측정결과를 활용하여 실험설계에 이용 하였다. 모형은 실험공간의 규모를 고려하여 축척을 1:10 으로하고, 하도내 흐름 안정을 위해 수로의 길이 는 16, 저폭은 $b\geq10h$를 만족하는 하천으로 설계하여 b를 3m로 설정 하였다. Fr수는 0.29로 원형과 동일하게 하고, 그에 따른 유량 ( )는 0.538m/s로 하였다. 실제 모형 제작에서는 현장 실험실의 펌프용량에 따른 가용유량 ($Q__{max}$)의 제약에 따라 수로가 직선이고 좌우가 대칭인 점을 감안하여 폭을 1/2로 절단 하고 유량은 $0.269m^3/s$(Q/2)를 공급하였다. 위와 같이 모형제작을 위한 실험 설계시 현장 여건을 고려하여 모형을 변형할 경우 EIM(Experimental Information Modeling)을 이용한 수리영향에 대한 분석을 통한 설계검증이 필요하다. FLOW-3D를 이용한 3차원 수치모의를 통하여 동일 지점에서의 유속과 수심을 분석하여 흐름양상을 비교 하였으며, 유속과 수심의 측정위치는 그림 1에 도시하였다. 수치모의 결과 측정지점에서의 수위가 하도 바닥을 기준으로 0.25m로 동일할 경우 수로 단면에 대한 유속 분포가 제방을 기준으로 2b/3까지는 유사한 경향을 보였다. 그 결과, $b\geq10h$인 수로에서 제방붕괴를 위한 모형 설계시 하도 폭을 1/2만 만들 경우에도 실험의 신뢰성이 확보된다는 것을 확인하였다.

This study was designed to determine the effect of newly synthesized antiulcer agent, 5-pyrrolyl-6-halo-2-(pyridyl-2-methylthio)benzimidazole derivatives (IY-81233), on various experimental ulcers and on the secretion of prostaglandin $E_2(PGE_2)$ into the gastric lumen of rat. IY-81233 was previously reported to have a strong inhibitory effect on $H^+/K^$-ATPase and on gastric acid secretion in rats. Oral administration of IY-81233 at concentrations of 0.2, 2.0, and 20 mg/kg inhibited gastric lesions and duodenal ulcer induced by indomethacin, HCI-ethanol, water-immersion stress, cysteamine, and acetic acid in a dose dependent manner. Their IC$IC_{50}$ values were 3.4, 1.4, 0.8, 1.3, and 1.2 mg/kg, respectively. These results indicate that IY-81233 is a potent antiulcer agent although it is slightly less potent than omeprazole in healing of gastritis and ulcers. The secretion of $PGE_2$ into gastric lumen was also investigated in relation to the cytoprotective effect by IY-81233 in rats. The $PGE_2$ level was not changed significantly by an oral administration of IY-81233, suggesting that IY-81233 has little effect on the gastric protection. Therefore, it can be concluded that IY-81233 exerts prominent antiulcer activity by suppressing gastric acid secretion via an inhibition of a proton pump and not by protecting the gastrointestinal mucosa against various ulcerative stimuli.

An auto sampling and filtering unit was developed for monitoring automation of a fermentation process and its performance was evaluated. The automatic sampling and filtering unit was constructed with a glass filter, a diaphragm suction pump, and a flow direction change valve. To evaluate operating stability, delivery volumes of the suction pump were measured according to the experimental conditions of cellulose powder, pore size of the glass filter and suction head of the pump. The developed unit could deliver the sample solution under any experimental conditions except the filter pore size of $16{\mu}m$ and the suction head of 20cm. In case of the suction head of 30cm, the pump could not deliver the sample solution at all. Concentrations of the sample solutions were converged on those of the standard glucose solution after 8 minutes from the initial sampling time. The relative error of concentration between the sample and the standard solution showed 3.8, 4.8, 7.0% for the 1, 3, 5% contents of cellulose powder, respectively.
