인버터 DC 저항용접의 적용성 증대 : 인버터 DC 저항용접 공법이 SPOT, PROJECTON, SEAM, BUTT 등의 공정에 다양하게 적용되어 저항용접 현장에서 고효율, 친환경적 용접 환경을 만드는데 일조 하고 있다. 특히 자동차의 경량화, 충돌내성 증대, 진동 및 내구성 증대, 공간활용 극대화, 새로운 Design 개념 적용 등의 산업전반에 걸쳐 나타나는 신 Trends로 고 장력 철재의 적용 범위가 확대되고 HSS(High Strength Steel), EHSS(Extra High Strength Steel), UHSS (Ultra High strength Steel ; Hot - Formed Steel )등 다양한 철판의 SPOT 저항용접이 필요하게 되었다. 기존의 AC 단상용접의 전력 특성 상 통전 중 무 통전 시간 과 높은 PEAK 전력, 단상 대 전력 소모로 인한 전력 DROP 등의 문제로 인하여 신소재의 용접 시 매우 많은 Spatter가 발생하고, 높은 용접품질의 확보가 어려워 지므로 이를 대체하기 위한 공법으로 MFDC ( 인버터 DC 저항용접공법 )이 적용되고 있다. 인버터 DC 저항용접의 적응제어 : MFDC라는 높은 효율의 용접 전력원이 확보 됨에도 불구하고 용접현장에서는 원 자재, 도금 등의 품질 산포, 프레스 물의 가공산포, 공기압 산포, 전극 과열 및 마모 등의 요인에 의하여 저항용접 산포가 발생하고 있다. 이는 인위적인 조작이 어렵고 불규칙적이며, 어디서나 산재하고 있는 문제이다. 이를 용접전력 제어 법으로 개선하여 일정한 용접성을 확보하기 위한 노력이 적응제어 기법이다. 정 전류, 정 전력 제어는 정량 제어로 용접 물을 비롯한 용접부의 변화와는 관계없이 설정된 일정량의 전력을 공급하기만 하는데 반하여 적응제어는 적절한 용접 작업 시의 용접 물의 상태, 전극의 가압, 표면 상태 등에 따른 변화 페턴을 기억하고 이후 진행되는 용접에 대하여 정상 페턴과의 차이를 감지 이를 보상하므로 고품질의 용접성을 보장하는 제어기법이다. 따라서 다양한 용접 산포 유발 요인에 의해 용접부의 변화가 발생한다 하여도 그 변화를 감지 하고 적절한 용접전력을 공급한다면 고품질의 용접성을 확보하는데 유용한 공법이 될 수 있다. 인버터 DC 저항용접의 SPC 관리 : SPOT 용접 시 획득할 수 있는 다양한 파라메터에 대하여 모니터링 하고 이 자료를 data 화 하여 품질 관리에 응용하게 되면 양산라인에서 반복적으로 발생되는 문제점을 확인 할 수 있고 이를 통계적 방법으로 추적 개선해 나간다면 용접 불량 감소 및 생산성 향상에 도움이 되며 작업자의 공정 능력 향상 및 기업의 기술축적에도 높은 기여를 할 수 있을 것이다. 용접 적응제어와 다양한 파라메터 모니터링이 한 system에서 이루어 질 때 높은 용접성 확보와 불량률 감소, 원가절감, 생산성 향상 등의 효과가 극대화 될 것이다.

The influence of windbreak to minimize the ventilation velocity near the plant canopy of a greenhouse strawberry was thoroughly investigated using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technology. Windbreaks were constructed surrounding the plant canopy to control ventilation and maintain the concentration of the supplied $CO_2$ from the soil surface close to the strawberry plants. The influence of no windbreak, 0.15 m and 0.30 m height windbreaks with varied air velocity of 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 m/s were simulated in the study. The concentrations of supplied $CO_2$ within the plant canopy of were measured. To simplify the model, plants were not included in the final model. Considering 1.0m/s wind velocity which is the normal wind velocity of greenhouses, the concentrations of $CO_2$ were approximately 420, 580 and 653 ppm ($1{\times}10^{-9}kg/m^3$) for no windbreak, 0.15 and 0.30 m windbreak height, respectively. Considering that the maximum concentration of $CO_2$ for the strawberry plants was around 600-800 ppm, the 0.30 m windbreak height is highly recommended. This study revealed that the windbreak was very effective in preserving $CO_2$ gas within the plant canopy. More so, the study also proved that the CFD technique can be used to determine the concentration of $CO_2$ within the plant canopy for the plants consumption at any designed condition. For an in-depth application of this study, the plants as well as the different conditions for $CO_2$ utilization, etc. should be considered.

For effective power generation with fuel cells in low-oxygen environments such as submarines and unmanned underwater vehicles, a hydrogen source which has a high hydrogen storage density is required. Diesel fuel is easy to storage and supply due to its liquid phase and it has a high density per unit volume and unit mass of hydrogen that required for driving the fuel cells. In this paper, diesel fuel was selected as a hydrogen source for driving the fuel cell in oxygen lean environments. In addition, the aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution was suggested as an alternative oxidant for hydrogen production through the diesel reforming reaction because of its high oxygen density and liquid phase which makes it easy to storage. In order to determine the characteristics of hydrogen peroxide as an oxidant of diesel reforming, comparative experiments were conducted and it was found that hydrogen peroxide solution has the same characteristics when reformed with oxidants of both steam and oxygen. Moreover, the commercial diesel reforming performances were analyzed according to the reaction temperature and concentration of aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution. Then, through the 49 hours accelerated degradation tests, the possibility of hydrogen production via diesel and aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution was confirmed.

To eliminate the onset of combustion instabilities and develop effective approaches for control, flame structure is very important. In this study, we conducted experiments under various operating conditions with a model gas turbine combustor to examine the relation of combustion instability and flame structure by OH chemiluminescence and laser diagnostics of He-Ne laser absorbtion system. The swirling LNG($CH_4$)/air flame was investigated with overall equivalence ratio of 1.2 and dump plane fuel-air mixture velocity 25 ~ 70 m/s. We founded that the combustion instability phenomenon occurs at lower mixing velocity and higher mixing velocity conditions. We also concluded that fluid dynamical vortex frequency has major effects on the combustion instability characteristics at lower mixing velocity condition.

The DPF temperature distribution which has a great effect on regenerating the ceramic filter effectively was measured at 30 locations using K-type thermocouples. Five partitioned electric heaters were used for heating the ceramic filter and they are switched ON/OFF in order. Also, the temperature distribution in the ceramic filter was measured with varying the electrical power supply to the heaters and the mass flow rate of the air supply from a blower. The uniform distribution of the air flow velocity at the inlet of the DPF make that of the temperature in the ceramic filter. The difference in heating ability between the partitioned heaters had a great effect on the temperature distribution in the ceramic filter.

In a 20 L fermentor experiments the level of dissolved oxygen (D.O.) strongly affected growth and PHBV production of Azotobacter vinelandii UWD. A higher D.O. (5%) increased specific cell growth rate two folds but PHBV production was 17 folds higher (62.3 wt%) at a lower D.O.(1%) level. D.O. level was not a good criterion to evaluate the effect of aeration on fermentation characteristics of A. vinelandii UWD. This strain maintained an equal D.O. (5%) by decreasing its oxygen consumption rate when oxygen transfer rate (OTR) was decreased by changing agitation speed at a fixed aeration rate. OTR rather than D.O. was a criterion to explain the effect of aeration on the cell growth and PHBV production. At 5% D.O. with a lower 0TR cell growth rate decreased but PHBV production (57.3 wt%) approached to that (62.3 wt%) of the lower (1%) D.O.

The kinetics of oxidation and disappearance of graphite in MgO-C refractories containing TiC were, in the temperature range from 1000 to 1200$^{\circ}C$, investigated to enhance the oxdation resistance of MgO-C refractproes. The air was blown into the furnace at flow rate of 0.2 litters per minute, and then weight decrease was measured with a thermo balance at 30 seconds intervals until the value of weight became unchanged. The value of effective diffusion coefficient (De) for the specimen of MgO-C was 1.39${\times}$10$\^$-4/ ㎡/sec. The diffusion of oxygen through decarburized layer was the rate deforming step in the overall oxidation process under present experimental conditions. The TiC additions enhanced the oxidation resistance of the MgO-C refractories.

The immobilization of nitrifier consortium was carried out for the application to recirculating aquaculture system(RAS). The abilities of $NH_4^+$-N removal by immobilized nitrifier consortia prepared with boric acid treated, ethanol treated, ad freezing-thawing treated PVA beads at the concentration 15% were examined. To identify the possibility of applying the beads in the fluidized bed reactor, characteristics of beads were evaluated. The suitable bead was boric acid treated beads which had highest ammonia removal rate of 16.09 g/$m^3$/day. It took 12 days for nitrifier consortium immobilized beads to be stable for the removal of $NH_4^+$-N. Life spans of the beads were more than three months with aggressive aeration in the fluidized ed reactor when nitrifier consortia immobilized in PVA beads were used. In order to apply the nitrifier consortium immobilized beads to aquaculture facility, the continuous reactor was used for 49 days with synthetic aquacultural water containing 2 mg/L ammonia. The highest ammonia removal rate of 31.87 g/$m^3$/day was observed when hydraulic residence time was 0.6 hour(36min.).

For development of an integrated calorimetric bio-reactor to measure the metabolic heat dissipated during cell growth, a 5 liter jar fermenter was modified to measure the pulse length of automatic temperature control signals to set heater on and off, and the to send them to computer to calculate the cumulative heat supplied. Cumulative heats for the calorimetric reactor in the absence of cell growth, were measured with varying conditions. The heat loss by the aeration was 30.9 kJ/vvm and the loss to ambient air was 10.5 kJ/L/hr/$^{\circ}C$. Cumulative heat was measued within $\pm$0.2% when testing with a small electri heater submerged in the reactor. Metabolic heat was measured to be 0.76 and 0.76 and 11.4kJ per g consumption of glucose during cultivation of S. cerevisiae and E. coli, respectively.

A diesel engine works in high compression ratio due to injection of diesel fuel after compression of air. Therefore the engine has a high thermal efficiency, while nitrogen oxide is produced a lot in high flame temperature regions. In order to solve the problem this study HHO gas is added into the intake air of the industrial diesel engine. The test conditions are loads of 0%, 50% and 100% and engine speeds of 700 to 1900 rpm. The results show the maximum torque and pressure is increased, fuel consumption, smoke and CO emissions are decreased and NOx emission is remained at same level.
