In this study, numerical analysis of solid-liquid two-phase flow was conducted as a preliminary step to analyze the flow characteristics of drilling fluid using the commercial CFD code, ANSYS CFX 14.5. The homogeneous model and separated flow model were used to simulate solid-liquid two-phase flow phenomena. In the separated flow model, Gidaspow's drag force model was applied with the kinetic theory model was applied for solid particles. The validity of the numerical model used in this study was verified based on the published experimental results. Numerical analysis was carried out for volume fractions of 0.1 to 0.5 and velocities of 1 to 5 m/s in a horizontal tube with a diameter of 54.9 mm and a length of 3 m. The Pressure drop and volume fraction distribution of solid particles were confirmed. The pressure drop was predicted using the homogeneous model and separated flow model within the MAE of 17.04 % and 8.98 %, respectively. A high volume fraction was observed in the lower part of the tube, and the volume fraction decreased toward the upper part. As velocity increased, variations in volume fraction distribution at varying heights were decreased, and the numerical results predicted these flow characteristics well.

An experimental study was carried out to measure frictional pressure drop in flow boiling to deionized water in a microchannel having a hydraulic diameter of $500{\mu}m$. Tests were performed in the ranges of heat fluxes from 100 to $400kW/m^2$, vapor qualities from 0 to 0.2 and mass fluxes of 200, 400 and $600kg/m^2s$. The frictional pressure drop during flow boiling is predicted by using two models; the homogeneous model that assumes equal phase velocity and the separate flow model that allows a slip velocity between two phases. From the experimental results, it is found that the two phase multiplier decreases with an increase in mass flux. Measured data of pressure drop are compared to a few available correlations proposed for macroscale and mini/microscale. The homogeneous model well predicted frictional pressure drop within MAE of 29.4 % for the test conditions considered in this work.

In this study, an experimental study was performed to predict the two-phase frictional pressure drop of FC-72 in parallel micro-channels. The parallel micro-channels consist of 15 channels with depth 0.2 mm, width 0.45 mm and length 60 mm. And tests were performed in the ranges of mass fluxes from 152.2 to $584.2kg/m^2s$ and heat fluxes from 7.5 to $28.3kW/m^2$. The experimental data was compared and analyzed with existing correlations to predict the pressure drop. The existing methods to predict the pressure drop used the homogeneous model and the separated model. In this study, the new correlation was proposed by modified existing correlation using the separated model, and the new correlation predicted consequently with the experimental data within MAE of 9.6%.

Mafic microgranular enclaves (MME) occur in the granites from the Bohyunsan area. The host granites are generally of granodioritic and granitic compositions. The MME can be divided into magic mineral clusters, quartz diorite and diorite according to their occurrence. Halter variation diagrams show linear trends between the MME and the host granites. Though the rim compositions of plagioclase in the host granites and the MME are similar the core compositions of plagioclase in some host granites show abnormally high An content. The Mg/(Mg+Fe) ratio of hornblende in the host granites gradually increase from the core to the rim. The chemical composition of minerals in the host granites had been affected by more marc magma composition. The modelling of major elements of the MME and hybrid host granites also indicate that they result from simple mingling/mixing between a dioritic magma and the host granite magma. The MME are thus interpreted to be globules of a more mafic magma which intruded the granite magma. Partial equilibration has been achieved between the MME and the host granites after they were commingled with each other.

numerical model is developed to estimate gas flow in the landfill site. Darcy's law, the mass conservation law, and the ideal gas state equation are combined to compose the governing equation for the steady-state and transient-state gas flows. The finite element method (FEM) is used as the numerical solution scheme. Two-dimensional radial symmetric triangular ring element is used to discretize the simulation domain. The steady state model developed in this study is compared with AIRFLOW that is a commercial model developed by Hydrologic Inc. Mass balance test is performed on the transient gas flow simulation. The developed model is applied to analyze the gas extraction experiment performed by Daewoo Institute of Construction Technology at the Nanjido landfill in 1993. The developed model was registered at Korea Computer Program Protection Foundation.

채석, 광물채광 등의 발파에서 생성된 파쇄 암석편들에 대한 정확한 파쇄도의 측정은 발파효율성 및 경제성을 평가하기 위한 수단으로 사용될 수 있다. 발파현장에서 파쇄도의 측정은 파쇄암석의 크기를 대상으로 이루어지며, 이러한 측정의 궁극적인 목표는 파쇄도에 대한 정확한 측정과 분석을 통하여 발파를 최적화시킴으로써 과파쇄에 의한 화약의 낭비, 과대한 암괴로 인한 운반경비의 증가, 분할을 위한 2차 발파나 추가파쇄를 위한 경비증가 등을 줄일 수 있다. 또한 선광 및 파쇄장비들의 과대한 마모방지와 품질의 균질성 확보를 위한 모니터링의 수단으로 사용될 수도 있다. 최근 파쇄도측정에 많이 사용되고 있는 기술중의 하나가 영상처리 시스템으로, 본 논문에서는 촬영조건 및 분석대상물 등의 변화에 따른 이 영상처리기법의 문제에 대한 언급보다는 영상처리기법에 대한 이해를 돕기 위해 이 기법에 대한 설명과 상용 소프트웨어를 이용한 모델시험 및 채석현장에서 실시된 발파후의 파쇄암석들에 대한 파쇄도 분석에서의 문제점들에 대하여 언급하고자 한다.

Nowadays, the field hydraulic test is still an only method to evaluate groundwater characteristics in subsurface. The results of hydraulic test are very important for the concept model of fracture hydrogeology as well as the geometric pattern of fractures. The hydraulic tests performed in Korea are generally analysed under such assumption as steady radial flow in homogeneous aquifer or along simple geometry of fractures. Also the transmissivity measured in a fixed interval length is equivalent to a sum of individual fracture transmissivities in test legth. The boundary effects of weH hydraulics and the geometry of flow paths are hardly obtained from the test results analysed by a steady flow method. To circumvent this problem, the flow dimensional analysis was attempted from the results of constant pressure injection test carried out in a fractured granite area. A comparison of the hydraulic conductivity values from the transient and steady analysis shows that the latter is about a factor of 2~3 higher than the former. However, it was possible to analyse a flow dimension of each test interval from flow rate variation with time. The upper part of the bedrock(<10m deep) indicates an open boundary and the flow dimension shows nearly steady states, while the lower part of the bedrock(>25m deep) is characterized as sublinear flow dimension with a dosed boundary. In one of the test sections(15m deep), the flow dimension was changed from linear flow to spherical flow. From the experience of this study, one of the immediate problems to be solved is to enhance the field testing equipments, i.e., an accurate flowmeter with autorecording and a pressure detecting device to be able to install in the test section.

A numerical formulation is developed to solve the linear three-dimensional hydrodynamic equations which describes wind induced flows in a homogeneous shelf sea. The hydmdynamic equations are at the outset separated into two systems. namely, an equation containing the gradient of sea surface elevation and the mean flow (external mode) and an equation describing the deviation from the mean flow (internal mode). The Galerkin method is then applied to the internal mode equation. The eigenvalues are determined from the eigenvalue problem involving the vertical eddy viscosity subject to a homogeneous boundary condition at the surface and a sheared boundary condition at the sea bed. The model is tested in a one-dimensional channel with uniform depth under a steady, uniform wind. The analytical velocity profile by Cooper and Pearce (1977) using a constant vertical eddy viscosity in channels of infinite and finite length is chosen as a benchmark solution. The model is also tested in a homogeneous, rectangular basin with constant depth under a steady, uniform wind field (the Heaps' Basin of the North Sea scale).

Oxidative stress and inflammation are key factors responsible for progression of liver injury. A variety of functions of oyster hydrolysate (OH) are affected by their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. However, little is known regarding the effects of OH on a liver injury model. This study was performed to evaluate the effects of OH on acute liver injury induced by lipopolysaccharide/D-galactosamine (LPS/D-GalN) in mice. Experimental groups were divided into six groups as follows (each group, n=10): control (saline), LPS/D-GalN, LPS/D-GalN+OH (100 mg/kg), LPS/D-GalN+OH (200 mg/kg), LPS/D-GalN+OH (400 mg/kg), and LPS/D-GalN+silymarin (25 mg/kg, positive control). The experimental acute liver injury model was induced with LPS ($1{\mu}g/kg$) and D-GalN (400 mg/kg). We first analyzed antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities in OH. OH showed high DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities and reduced ROS generation in Chang cells in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, OH showed anti-inflammatory activities, such as inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2 and 5-lipooxygenase. Treatment with OH down-regulated tumor necrosis factor $(TNF)-{\alpha}$, interleukin (IL)-6, and $IL-1{\alpha}$ expression levels in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. OH significantly reduced LPS/D-GalN-induced increases in the concentrations of alanine transaminase and aspartate aminotransferase in serum. In the LPS/D-GalN group, liver tissues exhibited apoptosis of hepatocytes with hemorrhages. These pathological alterations were ameliorated by OH treatment. Consistently, hepatic catalase activity was low in the LPS/D-GalN group compared to the control group, and catalase activity was significantly restored by OH treatment (P<0.05). Furthermore, OH markedly reduced the LPS/D-GalN-induced increase in $TNF-{\alpha}$, $IL-1{\beta}$, and IL-6 levels in liver tissue. Taken together, these results show that OH has hepatoprotective effects on LPS/D-GalN-induced acute liver injury via inhibition of oxidative stress and inflammation, suggesting that OH could be used as a health functional food and potential therapeutic agent for acute liver injury.
