The influence of the relative humidity, the temperature and the velocity of supply air on evaporation rate has been studied with non-boiling forced evaporation system in order to treat very low level radioactive liquid wastes produced from the decontamination and decommissioning activities. Experimental data on the evaporation rate have been obtained with the divers variables and experimental equation of air velocity was also obtained by the correlation of those data. The decontamination factor of this system was also obtained by the experimental data from a simulated liquid waste containing Cs-137 radio isotope ; $DF=10^4$. Since the commercial system will be operated for the treatment of the very low level radioactive liquid waste produced from decontamination & decommissioning of TRIGA Mark-II&III research reactor, the environmental assessment has been conducted to improve the operational safety. Exposure dose rate for an individual member of general public was assessed, and it showed that it was very lower than individual dose limits. The release of radioactivity of radioisotope material (Cs-137) to the environment was assessed, and result showed that it was $4.637{\times}10^{-14}\;{\mu}Ci/cc$.

This paper reported the establishment of mass production system of adventitious roots of Codonopsis lanceolata through shake flask and bioreactor culture. Induction of adventitious roots was started from the explants of leaf, stem and root on 1/2 strength Murashing and Skoog (MS) solid medium. Stem segments were the best explants for induction of adventitious roots compared to leaf and root segments. Among the different auxins tested (NAA, IBA and IAA), number of adventitious root per explant was highest on solid medium with 1.0 mg/L IBA, and produced $9.9{\pm}1.2$ roots per explant. However, growth of adventitious roots was fast in the presence of IBA at low concentration (0.1 mg/L). In shake flask culture, maximum production of adventitious roots (fresh weight) was obtained in half-strength MS medium compared to full-strength and one-third MS medium. When the adventitious roots produced in shake-flask culture were transferred to 5 L air-lift bioreactor, 16 times of fresh weight increase was gained after one month of culture. These results indicate that this protocol for the production of C. lanceolata adventitious roots can be applied to large scale culture for practical application.

The atomization of a liquid into multiple droplets has many important industrial applications, including the atomization of fuels in combustion processes and coating of surfaces and particles. Ultrasonic atomizing nozzle has a transducer that receives electrical input in the form of a high frequency signal from a power generator and converts that into mechanical energy at the same frequency. Liquid is atomized into a fine mist spray using high frequency sound vibrations. In coating applications, the unpressurized, low-velocity spray reduces the amount of overspray significantly because the droplets tend to settle on the substrate, rather than bouncing off it. The spray can be controlled and shaped precisely by entraining the slow-moving spray in an ancillary air stream using specialized types of spray-shaping equipment. The desired patterns of spray can be obtained using an air stream. To simulate the water mist behavior of an ultrasonic atomizing nozzle using an air stream, the Lagrangian dispersed phase model was employed using the commercial code FLUENT. The effects of the nozzle contraction shape, water droplet size and the pneumatic pressure drop on the spray characteristics were investigated to obtain the optimal condition for coating applications.

In hypersonic aircraft, increase of aerodynamic and engine heat lead thermal load in airframe. It could lead structural change of aircraft's component and malfunctioning. Endothermic fuels are liquid hydrocarbon fuels which absorb the heat load by undergoing endothermic reactions. In this study, we investigated the relationship between product, coke formation and catalytic properites of endothermic catalysts by using exo-tetrahydrodicyclopentadiene as a fuel in a fixed bed flow reactor similar to the actual reaction conditions.

The aim of the research is to analyze a feasibility of rapid evaluation method for cement fineness by the relation analysis between density measurement using hydrometer and fineness of ordinary Portland cement. Additionally, based on the commercially available cement product, relation between a series of fundamental properties of cement mortar and fineness of cement powder was analyzed. As an experimental result, the actually measured fineness value of cement powder showed a good correlation with the fineness value obtained by hydrometer while there was poor correlation with the fineness value on specification. Especially, the density measurement in three minutes showed the closest relation with cement powder fineness, thus rapid quality evaluation of cement powder can be possible by using the regression equation obtained from the three minutes density measurement. Additionally, there was a high relation between cement powder fineness with a fundamental properties of the cement mortar such as fluidity, air content, setting time, and strength development.

본 연구는 중심부에 액체, 외주부에 산화제가 흐르는 기액 동축분류의 유동장에 대한 것이다. 기액 동축 분사기는 연료의 분사량이 적은 소형 연소시스템을 고려하여, 실험은 연공비(W1/Wa)가 0.6 이하를 대상으로, 물과 공기를 사용하여 분사조건에 따른 분무특성과 기액 2상 분무류의 기본구조를 조사하여 액적의 확산, 기액혼합특성에 대하여 검토하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 반경방향 기상속도분포 및 액적유속분포는 분구직경 및 분사조건에 관계없이 정규분포에 가까운 형태를 취하고 있으며, 각각 식 (2) 및 (3)으로 나타낼 수 있다. 기상속도는 반치폭은 축방향에 따라 일정한 구배 (≒4.6)로서 증가하며, 기상만의 단상분류의 구배(≒6)에 비해서 완만하다. 액적유속 반치폭은 축방향에 따라 더욱 완만한 구배(≒3.1)로서 증가한다. 무차원 액적유속분포는 축방향에 따라 일정한 구배(n≒1.5)로서 감소한다. 액적의 확산은 상대적으로 기액유량비가 클수록 효과적으라고는 말할 수 없고, 최대 확산을 이루는 최적의 기액유량비가 존재한다.

에너지 자원의 고갈과 환경오염 문제가 심각히 대두되고 있는 현재 액체연료에 비하여 청정 에너지인 가스의 연료화에 대한 연구는 과거 어느때보다도 그 중요성이 높이 인식되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서 제시하는 연소기는 다공성 물질을 이용하는 연소장치로서 연소 경로를 바꾸어줌으로써 공기를 예열하는 효과를 극대화시킴과 대류열및 복사열을 방출하는 것이 큰 특징이다. 본 연구의 결과에 의하면 당량비의 감소에 따른 화염온도는 이론단열화염온도보다 높게 나타나서 당량비의 감소에 비례하여 더욱 좋은 효과를 얻을수 있었으며, 또한 왕복주기시간의 감소함에 따라 화염온도는 약간씩 증가하는 경향을 보여주었다. 이것들은 초희박 연소의 가능성을 보여준 것으로 저발열량의 연료 의 연소로 인한 에너지 절약 또는 유기화합물 즉, 페놀류나 알데히드류와 같은 공해물질들을 제거하는 연소메카니즘에 기여한 할 것이다.

This study was undertaken to investigation the spray characteristics of the twin fluid atomization nozzle system. The light oil was injected at the normal temperature and injection pressure was 5 bar - 10 bar by 1 bar and volume flow was 0.5, 1.0 and 2,0 mmH2O(X10-2). We measured the SMD of sprayed droplet to study spray characteristics. The following conclusions were reached from the results of these study. 1. The more injection pressure increased, the more SMD decreased. 2. The more measuring distance between pressure nozzle tip and analyser beam increased, the more SMD increased. 3. SMD of the blower-air-added injection system were shown, increasing volume flow decreased respectively. The result of this study indicated the blower-air-added injection system induced beneficial changes in SMD. And it will be considered important indicator for spray characteristics design and performance evaluation of twin fluid atomization nozzle system.

In this of study, effects of input air velocity(0.05~0.22 m/sec) and molten carbonate salt temperature ($870{\sim}970^{\circ}C$) on flow regime transition have been studied by adopting a drift-flux model of air holdup and a stochastic analysis of differential pressure fluctuations in an air-molten sodium carbonate salt two-phase system(molten salt oxidation process). Air holdup where the flow regime transition begins was determined by air holdup-drift flux plot. The air holdup value which the flow regime transition begins was increased with increasing molten carbonate salt temperature due to the decrease of viscosity and surface tension of molten carbonate salt. To characterize the flow regime transition more quantitatively, differential pressure fluctuation signals have been analyzed by adopting the stochastic method such as phase space portraits and Kolmogorov entropy, The Kolmogorov entropy decreased with an increasing of molten carbonate salt temperature but increased gradually with an increase in an air velocity, however, it exhibited different tendency with the flow regime and the air velocity value which flow regime transition begins was same to the results of drift-flux analysis.
