In this study, we isolated 32 strains of kerosene degrading bacteria from oil contaminated soil by enrichment culture. Isolates were screened for kerosene degradation efficiencies and K14 were selected which had the highest removal efficiency for 1,000 mg/L of kerosene. K14 were identified as Pseudomonas aeruginosa by morphological, biochemical test and 16S rDNA analysis. The optimal culture condition were determined as initial inoculated cell concentration, 1.0 g/L; substrate concentration, 1,000 mg/L; temperature $30^{\circ}C$; pH 7. When we enforced batch test in this condition, K14 degraded 72% of kerosene with 1,000 mg/L during 72 hr. And, at low concentration (200 mg/L), K14 degraded 95.8% of kerosene during 48 hr. As a result, kerosene biodegradation by Pseudomonas aeruginosa K14 could be useful for clean up of groundwater and soil contaminated with crude oil.

The objective of this study was to develop an effective separation and quantification method for kerosene and diesel in a mixed petroleum fuel (gasoline, kerosene, and diesel) contaminated environmental samples. This investigation was directed to prove the hypothesis that if the source of petroleum fuels were identical, the peak-area ratios of a reference n-alkane to other n-alkane peaks should be a constant even at the different concentrations. In addition, experimental recovery rates were determined to select the reference peaks of kerosene and diesel for peak area ratio measurements. The experimental results showed that the peak area ratios were constant among the samples having different concentrations when the ratios were calculated from areas of $C_{l3}$, $C_{l4}$, and $C_{15}$ peaks for kerosene and $C_{l6}$ and $C_{l7}$ peak for diesel as reference n-alkane peaks. The recovery rates were evaluated by comparing the relative peak area ratios of each reference peaks after making pairs of the kerosene and diesel reference peaks in the samples contained a known amount of gasoline, kerosene, and diesel. The recovery rates(%) Were 107.0$_{{\pm}20.6}$/86.6/ sub $\pm$15.9/ for kerosene- $C_{13}$/diesel- $C_{16}$, 99.6$\pm$$_{17.2}$/86.6$_{{\pm}15.9}$ for kerosene- $C_{14}$/diesel- $C_{16}$, 73.9/$\pm$14.4//86.6$_{{\pm}sub 15.9}$ for kerosene- $C_{15}$ /diesel- $C_{16}$, 109.4$_{{pm}0.8}$/75.9$_{{pm}4.7}$ for kerosene- $C_{13}$/diesel- $C_{17}$, 107.4$_{{pm}7.9}$/75.9$_{{pm}4.7}$ for kerosene- $C_{14}$/diesel- $C_{17}$, and 95.7$_{{pm}4.6}$ /75.9/$\pm$14.6//75.9$_{{pm$}4.7}$ for kerosene- $C_{15}$ /diesel- $C_{17.}$ The above experimental results confirm that all of the reference peak pairs of kerosene and diesel are applicable to the quantitative analysis for the mixed fuel contaminated samples, but the kerosene- $C_{15}$ /diesel- $C_{l7}$ peaks are recommended since the pair has a lower standard deviation than the other pairs.s..s.s.s..s..s.s.s.s.s.

차량의 충돌에 따른 등유의 누출에 의한 화재와 항공기 충돌에 따른 항공유의 누출에 의한 화재 발생 시 격실의 개구부 크기에 따른 화염온도를 평가하기 위해 화원으로 등유와 Jet-A-1을 사용하고 개구부의 크기를 조절해 가며 격실화재시험을 수행하였으며, 가장 높게 측정된 시험결과의 조건으로 과도화재시험을 수행하여 금속저장용기가 화염온도에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 시험결과 등유보다 Jet-A-1의 열 방출속도 및 질량 연소유속이 크게 나타났으며, Jet-A-1에서의 화염온도가 높게 측정되었다. 연료 소모율은 개구부의 크기가 클 경우 작은 경우보다 크게 나타났으며, 개구부의 크기가 클 경우 화염온도가 높게 측정되었다. 격실 내에 금속저장용기가 저장되었을 때는 저장용기가 화염으로부터 받는 열량만큼 화염의 온도는 낮아지는 것으로 나타났다.

This paper attempts to estimate the kerosene demand function in Korea over the period 1981-2012. As the kerosene demand function provides us information on the pattern of consumer's kerosene consumption, it can be usefully utilized in predicting the impact of policy variables such as kerosene price and forecasting the demand for kerosene. We apply least absolute deviations and least median squares estimation methods as a robust approach to estimating the parameters of the kerosene demand function. The results show that short-run price and income elasticities of the kerosene demand are estimated to be -0.468 and 0.409, respectively. They are statisitically significant at the 1% level. The short-run price and income elasticities portray that demand for kerosene is price- and income-inelastic. This implies that the kerosene is indispensable goods to human-being's life, thus the kerosene demand would not be promptly adjusted to responding to price and/or income change. However, long-run price and income elasticities reveal that the demand for kerosene is price- and income-elastic in the long-run.

The evidence containing some kind of petroleum at the fire spot was analyzed by gas chromatography to identify a fire's sources. To extract some petroleum from fire evidence, 10.0 mL of n-hexane was added in this solution, and it was shaken for 30 minutes. To identify a kind of petroleum in fire evidence, the prepared n-hexane solution was injected and analyzed in the gas chromatograph. The chromatogram of sample was different from those of thinner and gasoline that have low boiling point, and shown different peak pattern to heating and boiler oils. But it was similar to the chromatogram of diesel oil. After small amount of diesel oil was added to the sample, the area of characteristic peaks was increased more than those of raw sample. From the results, the kind of petroleum in the fire evidence was diesel oil.

The experimental characteristics for fry drying method was investigated using low-rank coal with a high moisture content. Final temperature, mixing ratio between coal and kerosene, content of coal or kerosene, total weight of the mixture and mixing methods were varied to find out the optimum conditions by measuring moisture of coal. Evaporation of the coal moisture was not completed below $120^{\circ}C$ of final temperature. The amount of moisture was not significantly different over $130^{\circ}C$. Coal moisture was easily evaporated by increasing coal content, which showed that the moisture evaporation could be significantly enhanced by the remove of evaporated moisture from kerosene rather than by heat transfer to the coal. High total weight of the mixture resulted in lowering moisture content of coal with long evaporation time. On the other hand, low total weight was difficult to reduce the moisture below a certain level, but could reduce evaporation time. Thus, it can concluded that kerosene content should be lowered to the extent maintaining the mobility of the mixture in order to enhance evaporation. It was also observed that evacuation and mixing by using nitrogen could improve drying of coal.

시설원예용 난방기의 연료로 주로 보일러 등유가 사용되었다. 그러나 연료단가가 높아 기존의 연료의 대체필요성이 높아 가고 있다. 일반적으로 초기설치비가 높더라도 저가의 연료를 사용하려는 경향이 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 보일러등유 전용 온풍난방기에 중유를 사용하여 저가의 연료를 사용할 수 있는 온풍난방기의 설계기술을 확립을 위하여 필요한 열설계 자료를 얻고자한다. (중략)
