This study measured the natural-convection heat transfer of two vertically staggered cylinders with varying vertical pitch-to-diameter ($P_v$/D) and horizontal pitch-to-diameter ($P_h$/D) ratios. The measured heat-transfer rates for the lower cylinder agreed well with the existing heat-transfer correlations for a single cylinder. At the smallest $P_v$/D, the rising plume from the lower cylinder provides the upper cylinder with a preheated flow, and the heat-transfer rates of the upper cylinder decrease, but increase very sensitively with $P_h$/D. However, at the largest $P_v$/D, the velocity effect dominates, and the heat-transfer rates of the upper cylinder are larger than that of a single cylinder, and decrease less sensitively with $P_h$/D. Even if $P_h$/D is increased, the heat-transfer rate of the upper cylinder is higher than that of the lower cylinder because of the chimney and side flow effects. This work expanded the flow ranges to turbulent flows. The cupric acid-copper sulfate ($H_2SO_4-CuSO_4$) electroplating system was adopted for the measurements of the mass-transfer rates instead of the heat-transfer experiments based on the analogy concept. The measurements were made by varying $P_v$/D (1.02-5) and $P_h$/D (0-2) in both laminar and turbulent flows. The Rayleigh number ranged from $1.5{\times}10^8$ to $2.5{\times}10^{10}$, and the Prandtl number was 2,014.

1. 서론 : 적절한 이산화탄소의 분리는 지구온난화의 가속현상을 늦출 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 각종 탄화수소가스의 원료로 분리 정제된 이산화탄소를 재이용할 수 있으므로 경제적으로 매우 중요하다. 이산화탄소 분리에 사용되던 기존 공정들의 단점을 보완할 수 있는 대체방안으로 최근에 개발되기 시작한 것이 소수성의 다공성 고분자 분리막(hydrophobic porous ploymeric membrane) 방법인데, 이는 모듈의 유효 막 표면적이 상대적으로 크고 기체와 액체의 흐름을 독립적으로 제어할 수 있으므로 범람 등의 현상이 없으나 막 자체의 저항이 비교적 큰 단점을 가지고 있다. Qi와 Cussler는 이러한 특성을 가지는 중공사막 모듈에서의 기-액 흐름에 대한 물질전달 상관관계식을 얻었으며[1], Karoor 등은 여러 가지 중공사막 모듈을 사용하여 순수물과 diethanolamine(DEA) 등의 흡수제에 대한 이산화탄소의 물질전달 거동을 수치모델과 실험을 통하여 고찰하였다[3]. 또한 중공사막 접촉기의 실제적 응용에 대하여 Matsumoto 등은 화력발전소에서 발생하는 연소가스 내의 이산화탄소 흠수에 대한 연구를 수행하였다[4]. 본 연구에서는 중공사막 접촉장치를 사용하여 흡수제를 순수물과 탄산칼륨($K_2CO_3$)을 사용했을 경우의 이산화탄소의 분리 거동을 수치모델과 실험을 통하여 고찰하였다. 수치모델의 경우 이전까지의 연구가 반응이 없는 경우나 반응식을 간략화시킨 경우에 한정되었는데 비하여, 반으이 있는 경우 각각의 반응물질들의 거동을 고려한 반응식을 유도하여 해를 구하고자 하녔다.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic human pathogen, causing a wide variety of infections including cystic fibrosis, microbial keratitis, and burn wound infections. The cell-to-cell signaling mechanism known as quorum sensing (QS) plays a key role in these infections and the QS systems of P. aeruginosa have been most intensively studied. While many literatures that introduce the QS systems of P. aeruginosa have mostly focused on two major acyl-homo serine lactone (acyl-HSL) QS signals, N-3-oxododecanoyl homoserine lactone (3OC12) and N-butanoyl homoserine lactone (C4), several new signal molecules have been discovered and suggested for their significant roles in signaling and virulence of P. aeruginosa. One of them is PQS (Pseudomonas quinolone signal; 2-heptyl-3-hydroxy-4-quinolone), which is now considered as a well-characterized major signal meolecule of P. aeruginosa. In addition, recent researches have also suggested some more putative signal molecules of P. aeruginosa, which are diketopiperazines (DKPs) and pyocyanin. DKPs are cyclic dipeptides and structurally diverse depending on what amino acids are involved in composition. Some DKPs from the culture supernatant of P. aeruginosa are suggested as new diffusible signal molecules, based on their ability to activate Vibrio fischeri LuxR biosensors that are previously considered specific for acyl-HSLs. Pyocyanin (1-hydroxy-5-methyl-phenazine), one of phenazine derivatives produced by P. aeruginosa is a characteristic blue-green pigment and redox-active compound. This has been recently suggested as a terminal signaling factor to upregulate some QS-controlled genes during stationary phase under the mediation of a transcription factor, SoxR. Here, details about these newly emerging signaling molecules of P. aeruginosa are discussed.

In general, combustion characteristic of hybrid propulsion was shown with the regression rate depending on only massflow rate of oxidizer But this empirical relation was not represented well effect of the thermo-chemical properties of solid fuel. So, in this study, the combustion characteristics was studied with the mass transfer number(B number) of solid fuel instead of regression rate with various fuel. The PMMA, PP, and PE were used as fuel, and gas oxygen as oxidizer in this experiment. The mass flowrate of gas oxigen was controlled by the several chocked orifices that have different diameter, and the oxidizer supply range was $3.66\sim45.3g/sec$. As result, the empirical relation for mass flux of solid fuel was obtained with mass transfer number, and mass flux of oxidizer as follow; $\dot{m}^{'}_f\;=\;0.0175G^{0.55}B^{0.4}$.

In the previous study, there was a big difference between the tendency of the delivery efficiency of Yo-Pro-1 and the expression efficiency of the CFP gene, but there was a problem that could not provide a clue to this problem. Therefore, this study aimed to present a clue to this problem by quantifying and comparing the delivery efficiency after labeling DNA using a fluorescent dye, which was one of the methods for quantifying biomolecules. As a fluorescent dye for labeling, Yo-Pro-1 was used, and the delivery efficiency of the fluorescent dye Yo-Pro-1 and the labeled DNA was compared. The delivery efficiency of Yo-Pro-1 and labeled DNA according to the voltage condition of the digital electroporation system was maximized at 96 V, and the delivery efficiency tended to decrease as the voltage increased further. In the comparison of the delivery efficiency of Yo-Pro-1 and labeled DNA according to the number of voltage application conditions, the delivery efficiency was maximized at the number of 8 voltage application times for both delivery materials, and the delivery efficiency tended to decrease as the number of voltage application increases further. Through the two results, it was confirmed that the delivery efficiency using Yo-Pro-1 in the digital electroporation system represents the delivery efficiency of the system well. In addition, through the results of this study, the difference between the tendency of the delivery efficiency of Yo-Pro-1 and the expression efficiency of the CFP gene shown in the preceding study was not the result of the difference in the delivery efficiency of the delivery material, but it can be predicted to be due to a problem with the expression process of the genetic material that had been delivered.

The study of $CO_2$ absorption in a packed column by 1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidine (TMG) dissolved in ethylene glycol is presented. Absorption column of inner diameter 1 in and 0.6 m length was filled with Protruded-packing $0.16in{\times}0.16in$. We investigated the effect of operating conditions on overall mass transfer coefficients as well as on $CO_2$ removal efficiency. The loading values reached at about $1.0mol_{CO2}/mol_{TMG}$. In case of absorbent with lean $CO_2$ loading, the overall mass transfer coefficient was proportional to the concentration of TMG. However, in the range of more than ${\alpha}=0.5molCO_2/molTMG$, the overall mass transfer coefficients decreased with the concentration of TMG. It is due to the increasing of mass transfer resistance in liquid phase as increasing of viscosity at higher loading values.

Liquid-liquid extractions by use of hollow fiber membrane module are fast because of the large surface area per volume. In these membranes, the extractant and feed can be contacted at high speed and two flows are completely independent, so there are no problems with loading and channeling. In this paper, it was investigated the selectivities of extractants for extraction of heavy metals from aqueous solution into organic extractants by using the hollow fiber membrane. To identify the effect of distribution ratio on mass transfer in the membrane, we also compared the distribution ratio with mass transfer coefficient. From these experiments for the system with high distribution ratio, effect of the distribution ratio on mass transfer was weak compare with the low distribution ratio system in the hollow fiber membrane.

Large Eddy Simulation(LES) of turbulent mass transfer in fully developed turbulent pipe flow has been performed to study the effect of Reynolds number on the concentration fields at $Re_{\tau}=180$, 395, 590 based on friction velocity and pipe radius. Dynamic subgrid-scale models for the turbulent subgrid-scale stresses and mass fluxes were employed to close the governing equations. Fully developed turbulent pipe flows with constant mass flux imposed at the wall are studied for Sc=0.71. The mean concentration profiles and turbulent intensities obtained from the present LES are in good agreement with the previous numerical and experimental results currently available. The effects of Reynolds number on the turbulent mass transfer are identified in the higher-order statistics(Skewness and Flatness factor) and instantaneous concentration fields. The budgets of turbulent mass fluxes and concentration variance were computed and analyzed to elucidate the effect of Reynolds number on turbulent mass transfer. Furthermore, to understand the correlation between near-wall turbulence structure and concentration fluctuation, we present an octant analysis in the vicinity of the pipe wall.

악취는 대기오염의 한 형태이며, 대개는 신체적 장해가 나타나기 이하의 농도에서 피해가 두드러지는 것으로 대기오염의 전구적 현상이라고도 할 수 있다. 현재 알려져 있는 화합물은 약 200만 가지로, 그 중에 약 40만종이 냄새가 있다고 한다. 냄새는 후각을 화학적으로 자극하여 원거리 정보를 전달하는 매체로, 후각은 냄새의 질과 세기를 종합적 혹은 분석적으로 식별하는 역할을 맡고 있다고 할 수 있다. 냄새 물질은 여러 가지 특성을 갖는데, 대부분의 악취는 특정한 몇 가지 냄새나는 물질에 의한 것이 아니라, 많은 물질을 포함하는 다성분계이다.
