In enclosed areas such as railway tunnels, the heat and smoke generated by a fire can pose a tremendous risk to the life of passengers. To prevent or mitigate such scenarios, fire detectors are installed for early fire detection. This numerical study is preformed for establishing the method of detecting performance of fire detectors installed on railway tunnels. Numerical analysis are conducted using the fire dynamics simulator, developed by the NIST. The temperature of the tunnel walls is determined using the assumed exterior structure of the tunnel. In addition, the detection times of detectors installed at different locations in the tunnel are obtained for different sizes of the fire source, and the results are compared and analyzed.

We report the effective fabrication processes for more practical monolith catalysts consisting of washcoated alumina on a cordierite honeycomb monolith (CHM) and iron oxides nanoparticles in the alumina prepared by a simple dry coating method. It is confirmed that iron oxide nanoparticles were well deposited into the mesopore of washcoated alumina which is formed on the corner wall of honeycomb channel, and the effect of annealing temperature was evaluated for carbon monoxide oxidation catalysts. $Fe_2O_3/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3/CHM$ catalysts annealed at $350^{\circ}C$ exhibited the most enhanced catalytic activity, 100% conversion efficiency at more than $200^{\circ}C$ operating temperature.

A high heat flux test facility using a graphite heating panel was constructed and is presently in operation at Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute, which is called KoHLT-1. Its major purpose is to carry out a thermal cycle test to verify the integrity of a HIP (hot isostatic pressing) bonded Be mockups which were fabricated for developing HIP joining technology to bond different metals, i.e., Be-to-CuCrZr and CuCrZr-to-SS316L, for the ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) first wall. The KoHLT-1 consists of a graphite heating panel, a box-type test chamber with water-cooling jackets, an electrical DC power supply, a water-cooling system, an evacuation system, an He gas system, and some diagnostics, which are equipped in an authorized laboratory with a special ventilation system for the Be treatment. The graphite heater is placed between two mockups, and the gap distance between the heater and the mockup is adjusted to $2{\sim}3\;mm$. We designed and fabricated several graphite heating panels to have various heating areas depending on the tested mockups, and to have the electrical resistances of $0.2{\sim}0.5$ ohms during high temperature operation. The heater is connected to an electrical DC power supply of 100 V/400 A. The heat flux is easily controlled by the pre-programmed control system which consists of a personal computer and a multi function module. The heat fluxes on the two mockups are deduced from the flow rate and the coolant inlet/out temperatures by a calorimetric method. We have carried out the thermal cycle tests of various Be mockups, and the reliability of the KoHLT-1 for long time operation at a high heat flux was verified, and its broad applicability is promising.

Er:YAG laser has been considered a promising alternative to dental drill and many researches indicate that adjustment to variable parameters, including water flow rate, pulse energy and pulse repetition rate, can be made to improve ablation ability and efficiency of the laser. Of these parameters, addition of water spray during irradiation has been thought to ablate dental hard tissue more rapidly and safely. The purpose of this study was to investigate tooth ablation amount by Er:YAG laser irradiation as related to varied water flow rates added and, ultimately to find the most effective water flow rate for ablation. In addition, the temperature change of pulp chamber during irradiation was also monitored on the irradiated and opposite pulpal walls, respectively. An Er:YAG laser with contact mode was employed. Extracted human molars were split into two pieces for ablation experiment. Pulse energies of 200 and 300 mJ with a pulse repetition rate of 20 Hz and 5 water flow rates (1.6, 3.0, 5.0, 7.0, and 10.0 ml/min) were applied. Each irradiation was performed for 3 seconds. According to these parameters, experimental groups were divided into 10 subgroups which consisted of 5 specimens. For temperature experiment, another 5 tooth-specimens were prepared in the manner that pulp chamber was open through access cavity preparation and two temperature-measuring probes were placed respectively on the irradiated and the opposite walls of pulp chamber. From the experiment on ablation amount related to different water flow rates, it was shown that the least water flow rate of 1.6 ml/min ablated more than any other water flow rates (p<0.000). When the irradiation for 3 seconds, combined with the pulse repetition time of 20Hz and the water flow rate of 1.6 ml/min was done to tooth specimen, the temperature rise was not noticeable both on the irradiated and the opposite pulpal walls (less than 3$^{\circ}C$) and there was no significant difference in temperature rise between the two pulse energies, 200 and 300 mJ. From the results of this study, it is suggested that tooth ablation with Er:YAG laser can be done effectively and safely at a energy between 200 and 300 mJ/pulse and a pulse repetition rate of 20 Hz when the lasing is conjugated with the water flow rate of 1.6ml/min.

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of die temperature and dimension on extraction pattern, extract yield, and crude saponin content of extruded white ginseng. The extrusion variables were die temperature $(110\;and\;120^{\circ}C)$ and die dimension (3 holes with 1.0 mm, 2 holes with 2.0 mm, and 1 hole with 3.0 mm diameter). The browness and redness were indicator of active components in ginseng extract. Both were used to evaluate the effect of die temperature and die dimension on release pattern and release rate constant. Browness and redness of extract achieved its lowest value at die temperature $110^{\circ}C$ and 2 holes with 2.0 mm diameter, indicating the lowest extraction rate constant. Extract yield highly increased by extrusion treatment. Extract yield and crude saponin content were the highest at die temperature $120^{\circ}C$ and 1 hole with 3.0 mm diameter. In conclusion, extrusion process has contributed significantly in improvement of release rate of its active components.

In this research, the surface covered curing method using the double-layered bubble sheet was evaluated. This double-layered bubble sheet has outstanding insulating performance with its low heat conductivity and high economic feasibility with its high durability. However, in the case of wall-typed building construction, the area of exposed rebar is curious on curing performance with the double-layered bubble sheet in spite of the double-layered bubble sheet showed favorable performance for slab. Therefore, in this research, regarding the actually constructed wall-typed apartment building, the most efficient curing method was suggested based on the evaluation of curing performance depending on temperature distribution depending on various location of covered or exposed rebar. As a result, the D method was determined as the most efficient curing method without any concern of early-age frost damage. However, by considering easiness of construction, the B method of covering the pieced double-layered bubble sheet on gap between rebars can be another option of desired result.

최근 디스플레이, 태양전지 그리고 touch screen panels 등 optoelectronic 장치의 시장이 성장함에 따라 투명전극의 수요가 증가하고 있다. Indium tin oxide (ITO)의 좋은 특성 때문에 주로 투명전극에 많이 사용되고 있다. 그러나 화학적 안정성이 떨어지고, 휘어질 때 특성저하가 심하여 금속나노와이어, 탄소나노튜브, 전도성폴리머, 그리고 그래핀 등의 다른 투명전극의 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 그 중에서 그래핀은 높은 전자 이동도(200000 cm2v-1s-1)와 휘어져도 전기적 크게 변하지 않는 특성 때문에 유망한 투명 전도성 전극 (Transparent Conductive Electrodes, TCEs)으로 연구되어왔다. 또한 다양한 속성 가운데, 높은 광 투과성은 그래핀의 가장 큰 장점이다 [1]. 최근, 화학 기상 증착 (Chemical Vapor Deposition, CVD) 등 다양한 제조 방법이 대량 생산을 위해 개발되었다. 그러나 이 방법은 비용이 많이 들며, 과정이 상당히 복잡하고 높은 온도 (${\sim}1000^{\circ}C$)를 필요로 한다. 따라서 용매 기반의 환원된 그래핀 산화물(Reduced Graphene Oxides, RGOs)이 최근 주목 받고 있다. 그러나 RGOs의 면저항이 높아 전극으로서 사용이 제한된다. 따라서 전기적 특성을 향상시키는 방법으로 단일 벽 탄소 나노튜브 (Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes, SWNTs)를 혼합하거나 화학적 도핑을 통하여 면저항을 크게 향상시키는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 그러나 이런 화학적 도핑의 경우 박막이 공기 중에 직접 산소나 습기와 반응하여 전기적 특성이 저하되는 문제점을 가지고 있다 [2]. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 AuCl3을 도핑한 박막에 내열성 및 내광성 등의 화학적 안정성이 뛰어난 PEDOT:PSS를 코팅하여 필름의 공기중의 노출을 막아 줌으로써 도핑의 안전성 및 전기적 특성을 최적화하였다. 본 연구에서는 간단한 dip-coating방법을 사용하여 4개의 RGO/SWNTs 박막을 흡착하였다. 다음으로 AuCl3를 도핑하여 면저항 $4.909K{\Omega}$, $4.381K{\Omega}$인 두 개의 샘플의 시간과 온도에 따른 면저항의 변화를 확인하였다. 그리고 필름의 도핑 안전성을 향상 시키기 위해 AuCl3를 도핑한 필름 위에 전도성 폴리머 PEDOT:PSS 코팅하여 면저항 $886.1{\Omega}$, $837.5{\Omega}$인 두 개의 샘플의 시간과 온도에 따른 면저항의 변화를 확인하였다. AuCl3 도핑된 필름의 경우 공기 중에 150시간 노출 시 72%의 면저항 증가가 발생하였지만 PEDOT:PSS가 코팅된 필름의 경우 5%의 면저항 증가가 나타나 확연한 차이를 보였다. 또한 AuCl3 도핑한 필름의 경우 $150^{\circ}C$에서 60시간동안 공기중에 노출되었을 때 525%의 면저항 증가가 발생하였지만 PEDOT:PSS가 코팅된 필름의 경우 58%의 면저항 증가를 나타내었다. 이것은 PEDOT:PSS가 passivation역할을 하여 필름이 공기에 노출된 부분을 막아주어 도핑된 필름의 면저항의 변화를 줄여 주었음을 알 수 있다.

Ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) has attracted growing interest, as it is an effective method for the rapid extraction of bioactive compounds from plants with a high extraction efficiency comparable to the conventional extraction. In this study, UAE was used for the extraction of polyphenols from lipid extracted microalgae (Tetraselmis KCTC 12236BP) and the effects of five extraction variables on the total phenolic compounds (TPC) were studied. For the optimization of extraction parameters, particle size, solid-to-liquid (L/S) ratio, ethanol concentration, extraction temperature and extraction time have been examined as independent variables. All variables exhibited the significant effects on the extraction of TPC and extraction temperature showed the most significant effect among five variables. The optimal extraction conditions were the extraction using mixed particle, S/L ratio of 10%, ethanol concentration of 60%, extraction temperature of $100^{\circ}C$ and extraction time of 30 min, which gave the 8.7 mg GAE/g DW for TPC. Compared with conventional hot-water extraction, TPC extraction under UAE was increased by up to 1.8 fold with same extraction condition. This study showed that UAE under low temperature and short extraction time was proven to be an effective extraction process for TPC production from LEA compared to conventional hot-water extraction process.

The objective of this research is to evaluate the optimum treatment methods for disposal sludge cake at different temperatures and periods of time. The disposal dehydrated sewage cake used in this study was obtained from N wastewater treatment plant in the P City. This system consists of continuous conveyer thermal dryer and pyrolysis. The continual conveyer thermal dryer was operated to evaluate the optimum conditions with temperature settings, ranges from 130 to $180^{\circ}C$, loading rates of 650~750 kg/hr and operating times of 110~120 minutes. The continual pyrolysis was also operated to evaluate the optimum conditions with temperature settings, ranges from 650 to $750^{\circ}C$, loading rates of 100~158 kg/hr and operating times of 20~40 minutes. The sewage sludge cake has a moisture content of 78~80% (wt) which decreased up to 1~3%(wt) resulted in breaking of cell wall after operating the continuous conveyer thermal dryer and pyrolysis. Important parameters which were operating times, moisture contents, loading rates, conveyer velocities and rotary velocities effects on the thermal kinetics and dynamics were investigated to evaluate the optimum conditions for the continual thermal dryer and pyrolysis.
