Gold mineralization of Samjeong and Yongjang gold mines in Uichang area shows characteristics of Bonanza-type gold deposits. Ores are mainly developed along the contact parts between quartz vein and arkosic sandstone beds(Fe-rich bed) in sedimentary rock. Electrum, silver sulfide and sulfate minerals are mainly in the ores. On the other hand, gold mineralization is less developed in cherty rock and andesitic rock than arkosic sandstone. The study highlights characteristics of gold precipitation in the deposit on the basis of numerical modelling of the reactions between the assumed hydrothermal ore fluids with multicomponent heterogeneous equilibrium calculations. Aqueous species, gases and minerals, containing electrum are included in the calculations. The reaction result between hydrothermal ore fluids and arkosic sandstone show that pH increasing in the ore-forming fluid would trigger precipitation of quartz, chlorite, sericite, chalcopyrite, galena, pyrite, electrum, actinolite and feldspar. The numerical modelling also illustrates the drastic increase of pH and desulfidation lead to precipitation of electrum. Ag/Au ratios in the ore vary with pH conditions and subsequently precipitation of silver-bearing sulfides such as acanthite and polybasite. The modelling of the reaction between andesitic rock and ore-forming fluid shows that mineral assemblages of the case are analogous to ones of the reaction between arkosic sandstone and fluid except the latter has little portion of electrum. The abovementioned modelling results suggest that gold-silver mineralization is bounded by host rocks at the study area.

The Self-propagating High-temperature Synthesis (SHS) for synthesizing ($Mo_{1-z}$ , $W_{z}$)$Si_2$was conducted experimentally with the mole fraction of Tungsten(W) from z=0.0 to z=0.5. The temperature profile was measured according to the reaction time through the thermocouple that was equipped into the center of these samples. When the reaction front is propagated around the thermocouple, the highest temperature appears and we regard this temperature as the adiabatic temperature. We found out by experimental results that the reaction velocity is in the range of 2.14~1.35mm/sec and the adiabatic temperature is in the range of 1883~1507K for the six samples. The reaction velocity and the adiabatic temperature were inclined to decrease with an increasing of the mole fraction of Tungsten (W). The SHS modeling is presented in order to predict the temperature profiles and these results are compared with the experimental results. It is predicted that in case of increasing the initial temperature of these six samples, the reaction temperature increased and that the sample of z=0.5 needs the preheating up to 800~900K in order to become reaction temperature 1900K.

부산 동래지역 지열수에 대한 지화학적 진화과정을 밝히기 위하여 지열수, 지하수 및 해수에 대한 수리화학 특성과 이들의 연관성을 고찰하였다. 또한 심부환경에서의 지화학 특성을 규명하기 위하여 각종 이온지질온도계와 다성분 지질온도계를 적용하였으며, 동위원소특성과 함께 지화학 모델링을 통하여 심부환경에서의 온천수의 지화학특성을 밝히고자 하였다. 동래 지열수의 수리화학적 특성은 해수의 영향을 받아 높은 이온함량을 보이며 Na-Cl형을 보여준다. 지열수는 주변 지하수와의 크게 혼합된 양상을 나타낸다. 지화학 모델링에 따르면 지열수는 심부에서 약 5% 영향을 받은 것으로 추정된다. 즉, 심부로 순환하는 지열수가 해수와 혼합되며, 이들이 지열에 의해 가열되면서 광물의 용해 및 침전, 이온 교환반응 등 물-암석 반응을 거치면서 심부지열수를 형성하였으며, 지열수가 천부환경으로 상승하는 과정에서 동래지역 주변 천부지하수와 다양하게 혼합되면서 현재 동래온천수의 화학조성을 갖는 온천수를 형성하는 것으로 지열수의 진화 과정을 설명할 수 있다.

Theoretical consideration on the combustion behavior of nano-aluminum and water mixture was conducted. The regions are divided into; 1)water+aluminum 2)steam+aluminum 3)reaction zone. Latent heat of vaporization was considered as a function of pressure in case of phase change of water. Also, pressure exponent was studied of various sized nano particles within the range of 0.1MPa ~ 10MPa.

납축전지는 충/방전을 반복함에 따라 전지 내의 화학적인 반응에 의해 그 용량을 잃어버린다. 그러한 과정에서 전지의 용량과 수명을 정확히 평가할 수 있도록 전지를 모델링하는 것이 이 논문의 목적이다. 정적 모델링을 통해 골프카트용 납축전지의 충/방전 특성의 연구 내용을 기술하였다. 정적 모델링 기법은 구성이 비교적 간단하고 결과를 빠르게 예측할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 이 모델링 기법을 통해 전지의 특성을 나타내는 변수들을 도출해내었다. 이러한 과정을 바탕으로 골프카트용 납축전지를 모델링한 후, 시뮬레이션 결과를 실험 데이터와 비교하여 모델링의 정확성을 판단하였다.

Monte Carlo N-Particle (MCNP) modeling algorithm based on the Monte Carlo method was used to perform the simulation of neutron logging in order to increase the reliability and utilization of neutron logs applied in geological and resource engineering fields. To perform the simulation using MCNP, we used a realistic three-dimensional configuration of neutron sonde and formation. Validation of the modeling was confirmed by comparing the calibration curves of sonde manufacture with those calculated by MCNP modeling. After the validation, lithology effects, pore fluid effects, borehole diameter change, casing effect, and effects of borehole water level were investigated through modeling experiments. Numerical tests indicate that changes in neutron count ratio according to the lithology were quantitatively understood. In case of a borehole with a diameter of 3 inches, ratio of counting rates was higher than expected to be interpreted as borehole fluid has small effects on neutron logging. Effect of casing was also small in general, particular when porosity increases. Since modeling results above the groundwater level showed a tendency opposite to those below the groundwater level, neutron logs can be used to detect groundwater level. The modeling results simulated in this study for various borehole environments are expected to be used for data processing and interpretation of neutron log.

Soil aquifer treatment is a water reuse technology that secondary or tertiary treated wastewater is infiltrated into the aquifer in which physical and biochemical reactions occur. Major consideration in SAT is the removal and transport of DOC and nitrogen species. In this study, reaction mechanism in SAT was examined considering nitrification, denitrification and organic oxidation. In addition, SAT modeling system was developed as the reaction mechanism was applied to groundwater flow and transport model. In verification of the reaction module by 1-dimensional unsaturated soil column test, the experimental data of all of the species, ammonium, nitrate, DOC and DO, were well matched with the simulation results. In sensitivity analysis, ammonium partition coefficient, dissolved oxygen inhibition constant and biomass decay rate affect ammonium, DOC and DO concentration of effluent, respectively.

In view of the analysis of the phenomena and the prediction of the performance, mathematical modelling and simulation of a high temperature pilot reactor for water gas shift reaction (WGSR) has been carried out. Multiscale simulation incorporated computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technique, which has the capability to deal with the reactor shape, fluid and energy transport with extensive degree of accuracy, and process modeling technique, which, in turn is responsible for reaction kinetics and mass transport. This research employed multiscale simulation and the results were compared with those from process simulation. From multiscale simulation, the maximum conversion of was predicted approximately 0.85 and the maximum temperature at the reactor was calculated 720 K, resulting from the heat of reaction. Dynamic simulation was also performed for the time transient profile of temperature, conversion, etc. Considering the results, it is concluded that multiscale simulation is a safe and accurate technique to predict reactor behaviors, and consequently will be available for the design of commercial size chemical reactors as well as other commercial unit operations.

수중에서 어류들이 색이시 생물적인 목표물이나 어로작업시 어구 등의 시각자극과 최대탐지거리 등을 예측하기 위해서 어류의 주된 시각 예민도 요소인 명암대비 역치와 최소 분해각을 수치모델링 하였다. 어류시각의 명반응과 순반응에 따라 명암대비 역치와 최소분해각은 배경휘도와 체장에 따른 자연대수의 함수로 표현하였다. 이 때 관련된 수식의 계수들은 기존의 실험 결과나 어종간의 시각 예민도 등에서 추정할 수 있었으며 또한 생리 생태나 개체차 등도 조정할 수 있다. 본 모델은 먹이생물이나 어구 등의 시각자극에 의한 시인정도와 시정 등의 추산에 이용될 수 있으며, 아울러 전반적인 수중 광학적인 조건하에서 시각자극의 세기에 따른 시각 예민도와 그 반응에 의한 어류행동 모델에 응용될 수 있을 것이다.

Here is implemented MATLAB program to analyze the characteristic curves of cyclic voltammetry which involves the multi-electron electrode reaction considered as key processes in electrochemical systems. For the electrochemical mass-transfer system, Fick's concentration equation subject to semi-infinite diffusion model for the boundary condition was discretized and solved by the explicit finite difference method. The resulting concentration values were converted into currents at each node by using Butler-Volmer equation. Based on the good agreement between the present numerical solution and the existing experimental results, effects of kinetic constants and CV scan rates on the reaction mechanism in multi-electron transfer processes were investigated effectively.
