There are three parts of tunnel which are influenced by outside temperature, entrance, exit and vent. These parts showed different tendency of deterioration(very rapid deterioration speed, wide range of defects, etc) compared with last parts of tunnel. Therefore, it needs to have different points of view when civil engineers analyze the defects on these parts and apply the retrofit or rehabilitation methods for them. However, when we conduct maintenance works, precise inspection and precise safety diagnosis, these defects had been neglected because those were considered as unimportant defects and caused from temporary weather and temperature change. In this study, two urban tunnels were analyzed to decide the range of tunnel which are influenced by outside temperature using a thermal camera, and to find out the causes of defects on these parts. From the results, the main points of maintenance were presented.

용융탄산염 연료전지의 대형화에 관한 기본 기술을 확립하기 위하여 전극의 유효면적이 625 $\textrm{cm}^2$인 단위전지를 20단 적층한 내부 분배형 용융탄산염 연료전지 스택을 제작하고 그 성능을 살펴보았다. 연료로 72% H2/18% CO2/10% H2O를 , 산화제로는 70% air/30% CO2의 혼합 기체를 사용하여 운전한 결과 전류밀도가 150 mA/$\textrm{cm}^2$이고 연료 및 산화제의 이용율이 0.4일 때, 스택 전압이 16.62 V로 1.56 kW의 높은 초기출력을 나타내었다. 스택 내 분리판에서의 온도 분포는 가스 흐름 방향으로 온도가 증가하였으며 스택출력이 높아질수록 가스 배출 부분의 온도가 상승하였다. 스택 내 각 단위전지간의 성능 분포는 균일하지 않았으며, 가스이용율에 따라 그 편차가 증가하였다. 연속 운전 300시간 후부터 스택의 성능이 감소하였으며, 그 원인을 분석한 겨로가 탄소 석출과 부식 생성물에 의한 전기 단락 때문으로 밝혀졌다. 본 연구를 통하여 anode 출구에서의 가스 조성을 분석함으로써 전기 단락에 의한 전압 손실량을 계산하는 기법을 확립하였다. 또한 본 연구에서 얻은 결과를 통하여 향후 스택의 대형화와 장수명화에 대한 대책을 제시하였다.

Multiple devices have been installed to reduce exhaust emissions and to increase thermal efficiency. Those devices reduce the exhaust pipe opening area and increase the exhaust gas pressure. The pressure increase disturbs a gas flow and has a bad effect on the engine performance. However there is some study that NOx can be reduced with exhaust gas pressure increase. In this study an engine performance is tested with various opening ratios. The result shows that the fuel consumption rate is reduced in case of little amount of the pressure increase, and NOx is reduced with the pressure increase, while the concentration of the toxic exhaust gases are increased in the case of high back-pressure.

Manus Basin, located in the equatorial western Pacific, is a back arc basin formed by collision between the IndoAustralian and the Pacific Plates. The basin is host to numerous hydrothermal vent fields and ore deposits. The basement rocks of the Manus Basin consist primarily of dacite and basaltic andesite. Some of the minerals that form the hydrothermal chimneys that were dredged on the Manus basin include pyrite, chalcopyrite, marcasite, sphalerite and galena. The chimneys can be classified into chalcopyrite dominant Cu-rich type and sphalerite dominant Zn-rich type. The concentration of Zn shows good positive correlation with that of Sb, Cd and Ag. The content of Cu, on the other hand, positively correlates with that of Mo, Mn and Co. For samples that were taken from Zn-rich chimney, a strong positive correlation is found between Au and Zn contents. The chimney also shows enrichments of Cd, Mn and Sb. On the other hand, the samples from Cu-rich chimney exhibit strong correlation among Au, Zn and Pb, and are enriched in Mo and Co concentration. Average contents of Au in Cu-rich and Znrich chimneys were 15.9 ppm and 29.0 ppm, respectively. Because of high concentration of Au with Ag and Cu, the ore deposit have high economic potential. Homogenization temperatures and salinities of fluid inclusions in anhydrite and amorphous silica from Zn-rich chimney are estimated to be l74-220$^{\circ}$C and 2.7-3.6 equiv. wt. % NaCI, respectively. These value suggest that ore forming processes were occurred at around 200$^{\circ}$C and that the oxygen fugacity changed from 2: 10$^{-39.5}$bar to -s: 10$^{-40.8}$bar and the sulfur fugacity from -s: 10$^{-14.7}$bar to 10$^{-13.4}$bar during the process. It appears that the temperature at which the ores formed on Cu-rich chimney was higher than that on Zn-rich chimney.

Recently, the needs of system performances such as working speed and processing accuracy in machine tools have been increased. Especially, the working speed increment generates harmful heat at both moving part of the machine tools and handicrafts. The heat is a main drawback to progress accuracy of the processing. Hence, a oil cooler to control temperature is inevitable for the machine tools. In general, two representative control schemes, hot-gas bypass and variable speed control of a compressor, have been adopted in the oil cooler system. This paper deals with design and implementation method of fuzzy controller for obtaining precise temperature characteristic of HB oil cooler system in machine tools. The opening angle of an electronic expansion valve are controlled to keep reference value and room temperature of temperature at oil outlet. Especially, the fuzzy controller is added to suppress temperature fluctuation under abrupt disturbances. Through some experiments, the suggested method can control the target temperature within steady state error of ${\pm}0.22^{\circ}C$.

Especially, the working speed increment generates harmful heat at both moving part of the machine tools and handicrafts. The heat is a main drawback to progress accuracy of the processing. Hence, a oil cooler to control temperature is inevitable for the machine tools. In general, two representative control schemes, hot-gas bypass and variable speed control of a compressor, have been adopted in the oil cooler system. In this paper, the compressor's speed are controlled to keep reference value of temperature at oil outlet. The precision processing of a machine tool is required for an oil cooler guaranteeing ${\pm}0.1^{\circ}C$ temperature control. But the oil cooler with precision temperature control is expensive. Therefore in this paper, instead of a on/off(relay) control method, a PID and phase angle electric power control method is proposed for the precision control of an oil cooler. The proposed controller is implemented and tested at the temperature of $23^{\circ}C$, $24^{\circ}C$ and $25^{\circ}C$.

The performance of catalysts for the recombination of oxyhydrogen gas was measured and compared with the results obtained from theoretical model. The oxyhydrogen gas was generated by the electrolysis cell and recombined through the fixed bed catalytic reactor. The yield that is the ratio of water-amount produced to the water-amount consumed in the electrolysis cell was increased with the increase of KOH concentration in electrolysis cell and the applied current. The catalyst 1 showed the best performance and the yield was under 60 %. The faradic yield calculated by Faraday's law showed about 100% in maximum with catalyst 1. The production rate of water generated by the recombination was 5-40 g/day dependent on the flow rate of mixed gas. Considering the results calculated from the pseudo-homogeneous catalytic reactor model, the hot point inside the reactor was moved to the direction of outlet and the maximum temperatures were $440-480^{\circ}K$ when the gas flow rate increased. The production rate of water calculated from the theoretical model showed good agreement with experimental results below the flow rate of $0.5cm^3/sec$, but there were much differences above that flow rate.

Hot-firing tests were carried out using a mixing head with 19 swirl coaxial injectors and a combustion chamber with internal cooling channels. The propellants of liquid oxygen and kerosene(Jet A-1) were burned in a range of chamber pressures (59~82 bar) and mixture ratios (2.0~3.0). The temperature of water used as the cooling fluid was measured at the inlet and outlet of the cooling channels, and the heat flux was calculated. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of combustion instability on heat transfer in a subscale thrust chamber, and detect the temperature variation of cooling water. During several hot-firing tests, combustion instability was encountered which caused a 5~20% increase in heat flux. The peak heat flux took place in the initial stages of combustion instability.

It is urgently required to develop the production of fermentation-heat energy from the waste agricultural and forest biomass and its effective heat exchanging system for the supply of warm water to rural households and greenhouses. In this study 3 helical-type and 1 plate-type heat exchangers using 3 different waste biomasses [e.g. hardwood (HW) sawdust (100%), softwood (SW) sawdust : HW sawdust (50 : 50) and HW sawdust : grass (90 : 10)] were applied in order to find out the best heat recovery system. The heat exchanger was basically considered to improve the overall heat recovery efficiency, to minimize heat loss and to simplify manufacturing, assembling and breaking up the fermenting beds. The helical-type heat exchanger (HX-H3) installed in fermenting bed of HW sawdust : grass (90 : 10) showed relatively higher temperature profiles, in particular mid- and upper-parts than lower and surface parts during 45-day fermentation process. The maximum temperature was ranged from $40^{\circ}C$ to $65^{\circ}C$ with average $60^{\circ}C$. The water temperature of tank outlet was ranged to $33{\sim}48^{\circ}C$ during whole measuring periods. By the way plate-type one (HX-P) installed in same biomass compositional fermenting bed showed $64.5{\sim}76.5^{\circ}C$ at center part, and $43{\sim}56^{\circ}C$ and $42{\sim}58^{\circ}C$, water tank and tank outlet temperatures, respectively, during 100 day measurement. It could be concluded that the plate-type heat exchanger (HX-P) provides not only the effective heating for the rural households and greenhouses, but also having the best heat recovery performance, easy manufacturing, assembling and breaking up the systems.
