Alcohol concentration via pervaporation process was performed by using commercial PDMS(polydimethylsiloxane) composite membrane and plasma treated PP(polypropylene) membranes. Effects of operating parameters of pcrvaporation process were examined. With the increase of butanol concentration in the feed, flux and selectivity increased due to the greater affinity of butanol with PDMS than that of water. As the operating temperature increased, free volume as well as the solubilities and diffusivities of alcohol and water increased to result in the greater flux and less selectivity of the membrane. As solubility parameter difference between alcohol and PDMS membrane decreased, high flux and good selectivity were obtained. When PP membrane was plasma treated with methanol, it has 6 times greater flux than PDMS membrane with equivalent separation factor. With the increase of plasma treatment time, flux and selectivity were enhanced. However, excess treatment time caused pore blocking to result in the flux decrease.

Urban storm water collection and conveyance systems are critical components of the urban infrastructures. During a storm event, street grate inlets are usually loaded with debris by the first-flush runoff volume. Grate inlets are subject to clogging effects. Effective interception area of grate inlets was decreased by clogging. It also decreased the interception capacity of grate inlets and increased the inundation area in street. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the clogging characteristics and interception capacity change by clogging for appropriate design and management of grate inlets. In this study, field survey was executed to investigate debris and clogging pattern of grate inlet in 9 areas. The clogging factor with consideration of urban area characteristics was estimated with the field survey results.

The permeability of converter slag, replacing material of sand mat on improving soft clay foundation, was evaluated in the laboratory. The effects of grain size, flow water time and aging were investigated using sea and fresh water. In the case of converter slag submerged with fresh water, the coefficients of permeability in A and B samples less than 10 mm grain sizes were measured as $6.52\times10^{-2}cm\; per\; sec\; and\; 5.99\times10^{-1}/cm$ per sec respectively, while they were $1.88\times10^{-2}/cm\; per\; sec,\; 3.86\times10^{-1}/cm$ per sec respectively under sea water condition. Also, the condition of turbulent flow may exit and was experimentally identified from the relationship between hydraulic gradient and seepage velocity. After 100 days under sea water condition, the coefficients of permeability of A and B samples decreased ten times than initial values. The reduction of permeability coefficient was considered to result from the filling of voids in high-calcium quicklime(CaO).

Long term changes of hydraulic properties and tensile strength of natural fiber drain (NFD) are analyzed and compared with those of intact NFD's. NFD was buried in distilled water, two types of seawater and clay soils obtained in southern and western parts of Korea, Kwang-Yang and Si-hwa. Specimens are taken out in 0, 3, 9 and 18 month intervals, and durability tests of the NFD are performed. Hydraulic conductivity of the NFD samples decreased compared with that of intact NFD samples, because clay particles easily passed to coarsened mesh of filters and clogged the porous stone below and reduced hydraulic conductivity. Tensile strength of drains from the soil bucket is reduced larger than those in the seawater and the distilled water. Strength reduction was higher in summer than winter.

LID 시설에 대한 모니터링은 인력을 활용한 실강우 모니터링을 진행하고 있으나 LID 시설은 소규모 분산형시설로서 인력을 동원한 식생고사, 강우시 모니터링, 현장답사 등 꾸준한 시설확인에 한계가 있으며, LID 시설을 조성한 이후 적정한 유지관리 방법(주기, 빈도, 항목 등)을 인지하지 못하여 막힘현상, 효율저하, 식물고사 등의 문제가 발생한다. 따라서 본연구에서는 딥러닝 분석을 활용하여 강우시 강우모니터링 자료와 LID 시설 내 센서를 통해 측정된 자료를 통해 침투도랑 내 유입수 성상에 대한 예측분석을 수행하였다. 심지 내 LID 시설에 유입되는 오염물질을 예측을 위한 딥러닝 분석을 위해 과거 실강우시 모니터링 자료(TSS, COD, TN, TP)와 대기센서(대기습도, 대기온도, 강수량, 미세먼지) 데이터를 활용하여 딥러닝 모델에 대한 적용가능성 평가를 수행하였다. 측정항목에 대한 상관성 분석을 수행하였으며, 딥러닝 모델은 Tenser Flow를 이용하여 DNN(Deep Neural Network)모델을 활용하여 분석하였다. DNN 모델에 대한 MSE값은 0.31로 분석되었으며, TSS에 대한 평균 50.6mg/L로 분석되었으며, COD 평균 98.7 mg/L로 나타났다. TN의 평균 2.21 mg/L로 분석되었으며, TP 평균 0.67 mg/L로 나타났다. 상관계수분석결과 TSS는 0.53로 분석되었으며, TN과 TP의 상관계수는 0.10, 0.56으로 나타났다. COD의 상관계수는 0.63으로 TSS와 COD, TP에 대한 예측이 된 것으로 분석되었다. 딥러닝을 통한 LID 시설 내 농도변화 예측시 강우시 센서데이터 값은 조밀해야하며 오염물질 농도와 상관성이 높은 항목들에 대해 계측과 실강우 모니터링 자료를 축적하여 미래에 대한 활용성을 높여야 한다.

The disposal problem of waste lime which is a residual product of lime industry have caused a lots of arguments in the past few years. Further more, waste lime contains a high moisture content which causes the disposal of waste lime is a great difficulty. The purpose of this study is to investigate for the effective dewatering solutions by placing various prefabricated vertical drains. The moisture content and degree of consolidation, pore water pressure, changes of settlement, bearing capacity with various vertical drains in waste lime were analyzed. The laboratory test results indicate that PBD is 2 times higher than circular drain in coefficient of consolidation. Based on the laboratory test results, settlement, pore water pressure, and dewatering measurements are shown in similar tendency. It is considered that PBD can drain primitive pore water much efficiently. The picture of SEM shows that circular drain filter has a serious clogging problem in comparison with PBD. In conclusion, PBD holds a superiority in waste lime's ground improvement and dewatering pore water pressure from the waste lime sludge. Also, circular drain is desired for some modification in its filtering system.

In the present works, the High-speed Cavitation Tunnel (HCT) has been designed and manufactured to have the large test section to conduct various supercavitation experiments. The large amount of air ventilated behind a cavitator produces lots of tiny bubbles, which prevent clear observation of supercavitation at the test section. To collect small bubbles effectively, a bubble collecting section of large volume is equipped upstream of the test section. HCT has the test section dimension of $0.3^H{\times}0.3^W{\times}3.0^L\;m^3$ and provides maximum flow speed of 20.4 m/s at the test section. The blockage and Froude effects on the ventilated supercavitation are investigated successfully at the test section. The basic studies such as the supercavitation evolution, drag measurements and cavity shape extraction with air flow rate are also carried out in HCT.

In general steel sheet piles are used in the containment system, which are vertical barrier systems for waste disposal and landfill purposes, and roads in excavation for temporary structure. This paper presents case study of the use of an interlocking sheet pile for water and containment. Cut-off Z-type sheet pile joints are investigated to determine their permeability from the field test. Four different joint sealing materials are used in field test. The results showed joint permeability is significant time-dependent and joint-dependent. These are explored and conclusions on permeability characteristics of different sealants are noted. A case study gives a design example as well as suggestion on permeability and water tightness can be implemented in using the sheet pile barrier in civil and environment works. From the test results, the effective sealing programs of sheet pile interlocks are suggested.

New separation process was developed for the preparation of storage-stable liquid dyes. The extent of aggregation of dye molecules was measured with respect to storage time of liquid dyes under different salt environments. Hollow-fiber membranes were modified by immobilization of inorganic crystals onto the surface of membrane. Using surface-treated membranes, counter diffusion technology was introduced to selectively remove salts from dye solution. The separation factors were 10-700, and the loss of dye molecules was less than 0.4 %. Membrane permeabilities for sodium ions($U_{M,Na}$) and dye molecules($U_{M,Dye}$) were found to be 2.75 and $0.72l/m^2/hr$, respectively, in the case of surface-treated membranes. The effects of various operating parameters on desalting efficiency were also investigated.

A CFD analysis was performed to examine the inner channel blockage of dual-cooled fuel which has being developed for the power uprate of a pressurized water reactor (PWR). The dual-cooled fuel consists of an annular fuel pellet($UO_2$) and dual claddings as well as internal and external cooling channels. The dual-cooled annular fuel is different from a conventional solid 려el by employing an internal cooling channel for each fuel pellet as well as an external cooling channel. One of the key issues is the hypothetical event of inner channel blockage because the inner channel is an isolated flow channel without the coolant mixing between the neighboring flow channels. The inner channel blockage could cause the Departure from Nucleate Boiling (DNB) in the inner channel that eventually causes a fuel failure. This paper presents the CFD simulation of the flow through the side holes of the bottom end plug for the complete entrance blockage of the inner channel. Since the amount of coolant supply to the inner channel depends on largely the pressure loss at the side hole, the pressure loss coefficient of the side hole was estimated by the CFD analysis. The CFD prediction of the loss coefficient showed a reasonable agreement with an experimental data for the complete blockage of both the inner channel entrance and the outer channel. The CFD predictions also showed the decrease of the loss coefficient as the outer channel blockage increases.
