The smoke properties of some plastics were investigated, including polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polycarbonate (PC), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and polyacetal. For smoke density, related values of static smoke characteristics were measured using a smoke density tester according to ISO 5659-2. In addition, combustion with and without flame was measured independently. Under the condition of radiant heat of 50 kW/m² using the flame method, the measured value of the maximum specific optical density (D_m) of smoke showed the lowest value for PMMA (401.26) and the highest value for PVC (1345.04). In addition, PMMA (262.82) was the lowest and PVC (1385.43) was the highest in the measured D_m of smoke under the condition of radiant heat of 50 kW/m² in the non-flame method. Smoke generation during combustion of the object is significantly affected by the radiant heat flux, and carbonizable plastics showed a higher amount of smoke than non-carbonizable plastics during combustion. Polymers with aromatic groups in the main polymer chain generated a large amount of smoke because a large amount of char was generated due to thermal decomposition.

This work has been carried out to find the ideal operating conditions for solar vacuum tube collectors which are widely used at present. Various types of solar collectors including a flat plate one were experimentally tested and examined to determine their thermal efficiencies and operating characteristics. Generally, solar vacuum tubes can be classified into two groups according to their design features. Of these, one is characterized by the insertion of a metallic device(such as a finned heat pipe) in an evacuated glass tube for the collection and transportation of solar energy. The other utilizes double glass tubes where the smaller one is contained inside the bigger one and soldered to each other after the small gap between them is evacuated. Both of these solar collectors are designed to minimize convection heat losses by removing the air which is in direct contact with the absorber surface. The performance of the former type can be readily analyzed by applying the relevant correlations developed for flat plate solar collectors. This has been demonstrated in the present study for the case of a solar collector where a heat pipe is inserted in an evacuated tube.

This paper deals with the self-excited mixer using tunnel diode oscillator operated as a microwave source and Doppler signal detector. The system impedance, the oscillation condition and the frequency conversion theory including moving target are investigated. The oscillating frequency and the output of tunnel diode oscillator are 2.035 GHz and 0.1 mW. The input signal frequency which is equivalent to Doppler signal is lower than tunnel diode oscillator frequency by 125 MHz. TDe conversion loss has been investigated as a functicn of input signal level. This loss is greater than 67 db for the large pump mode.

This paper includes the test results of KOMPSAT-2 payload downlink system which were measured for the purpose of performance verification. The antenna beam patterns which indicates the status of the interface & antenna itself, were measured as well as the antenna VSWR. The checkout of the transponder & its spectrum was followed and this made sure that there was no spurious output distinguished. Finally a test for BER verification was conducted between satellite and receiving system for their compatibility through the antenna-to-antenna connection using an antenna hat. Verification tests for an RF system should be performed after relocation, integration and test for environments in order to make sure that no degradation happens.

In this paper, we studied a design method for a coplanar waveguide-fed compact quasi-Yagi antenna for a dual band of the UHF RFID (915 MHz) and GPS (1.575 GHz). The proposed antenna is composed of three elements of a dipole, a reflector, and a director. To reduce its size, the ends of both the dipole and reflector are bent, the director is placed near to the dipole, and a balun is incorporated in the antenna. From some simulations, the proposed antenna using an FR4 substrate with 0.8 mm thickness was designed for the operations in the UHF RFID and GPS systems, and the antenna characteristics such as reflection coefficient, gain, and radiation patterns were examined.

5년 동안 진행된 고진공 펌프 개발 사업의 일환으로 맥동관형 냉동기에 활성탄 어레이를 장착한 흡기구 직경 14인치 국산 크라이오펌프 완제품이 만들어졌다. 이미 지난해에 완성한 시제품을 가지고 모든 배기성능시험을 완료하고 목표를 뛰어 넘는 성능을 가지고 있음을 입증하였지만 완제품의 경우는 현장에서 스퍼터링 공정에 대한 신뢰성과 열적 내구성 시험이 중요한 항목으로 대두되었다. 개발된 펌프를 생산 공정에 직접 투입하는 모험을 하지 않으면서도 신뢰성을 확보하는 방편으로 카이스트 나노종합팹 센터에서 가동중인 스퍼터링 장비에 완제품을 달고 기존 공정과 같은 방식으로 장치를 운영하면서 외제 상용품을 사용했을 때와 진공성능 및 공정수율을 비교하는 시험을 수행하였다. 또 내구성 시험 항목으로 열부하 시험과 열 사이클 시험을 수행하였다. 열부하 시험은 300도까지 온도를 올릴 수 있는 열판을 펌프 흡기구 배플 앞에 설치하여, 냉동기 2차 냉각단 온도가 20 K 이하로 유지될 수 있는 최대 허용 복사열을 측정하는 방식으로 진행되었으며 열 사이클 시험은 크라이오 펌프의 활성화 기능을 활용하여 완전 활성화(full regen., 10K-300K-10K) 과정을 10회 연속 시행하여 펌프의 배기성능과 기계적 이상 유무를 관찰하였다.

This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation on one dimensional excess enthalpy flame formed in a porous block. The investigation is undertaken in order to further the physical understanding of internal heat recirculation from reaction zone to unburned mixture. Two porous blocks are placed at both sides of combustion block to control the temperature distribution in the combustion block by means of radiation heat transfer. Mean temperature measurement reveals the general nature of the reaction zone in the porous material. It is conformed that the temperature of reaction zone exceeds the adiabatic flame temperature and the flame is stabilized at the out range of flammibility limit derived by conventional burner.

Radiative charaacteristics of glass windows and porous absorbing media which can be used for a solar air heater are determined through the measurements of spectral transmittances. Those in the visible range are measured by the UV-IR spectrometer. Refractive index of glass are obtained by the comparison of the measured transmittances and the correlations derived from the electromagnetic theory and are compared to the theoretical ones calculated from the classical dispersion theory. Absorption and back-scattering coefficients of 15-mesh stainless wire screens are calcuated by the comparison of the measured transmittances and the correlations derived from the two flux model.

Following the adoption of the global plant conservation strategies at the Conference of the Parties for Biodiversity Conservation, diligent actions to achieve each targets are actively carried out. In particular, the need for ecological conservation research to achieve targets 2 and 7 of GSPC-2020 has increased. The priority taxa to accomplish the objectives of GSPC-2020 are rare and endemic plants. In particular, endemic plants with limited distribution in specific regions are evaluated to face a high risk of extinction. To address the necessity to preserve endemic plants, we investigated the distribution of Prunus choreiana H. T. Im, a Korean endemic plant. After that, we examined the vegetational environment of the habitat of P. choreiana and evaluated its population structure. The productivity of its fruits and the effects of pollinators on fruit production were evaluated as well. The fruiting ratio was calculated based on the number of flowers produced. Lastly, we observed the annual growth characteristics of P. choreiana. The habitats of P. choreiana did not show a specific type of vegetation. All of them were located in a limestone area of Gangwon-do in the central Korean Peninsula and occupied a site where the coverage of the tree layer and the sub-tree layer was not high or did not exist. The population structure of P. choreiana contained a high proportion of mature plants capable of producing fruits and a low proportion of seedlings and Juvenile plants. We found that the production of fruits required pollinators and was affected by the performance of each plant. Although P. choreiana produces many flowers, only a maximum of 20% and only 2-6% on average bear fruits. These flowering characteristics may be due to pollinators' low abundance and activity during the flowering season (between mid-March and early April), suggesting that many flowers are needed to attract more pollinators. We rarely observed the re-establishment of seedlings in the population of P. choreiana. Despite that, we predict the population to persist owing to its long lifespan and periodic production of numerous fruits. However, if the tree layer and sub-tree layer in competing status with P. choreiana increase their crown density, they are expected to inhibit the growth of P. choreiana and affect the risk of its extinction. Therefore, the current changes in the vegetational environment of the habitats are expected to decrease the number and extent of P. choreiana in the long term. The results of this study may serve as primary and important data necessary for the achievement of GSPC-2020 objectives.
