In this study, the feasibility of simultaneous removal of organic materials and nitrogen in the waste-water from fisheries processing plant was evaluated using entrapped mixed microbial cell technique(EMMC) process. The experiment was performed using activated sludge from municipal sewage treatment plant which was immobilized with gel matrix by cellulose triacetate. It was found that the stable operation at the treatment system which is composed of anoxic and oxic tank, was possible when the organic and nitrogen loading rates were increased stepwise. The organic and nitrogen loading rates were applied from 0.65 to $1.72kgCOD/m^3/d$ and from 0.119 to $0.317kgT-N/m^3$ with four steps, respectively. The maximum nitrogen loading rate which could satisfy the regulated effluent standard of nitrogen concentration, was $0.3kgT-N/m^3/d$. The removal efficiency of total nitrogen was decreased apparently as increasing nitrogen loading rates, whereas the removal efficiency of ammonium nitrogen was effective at the all tested nitrogen loading rates. Therefore, it was concluded that nitrification was efficient at the system. Nitrate removal efficiency ranged from 98.62% to 99.51%, whereas the nitrification efficiency at the oxic tank ranged 94.0% to 96.9% at the tested loading rates. The removal efficiencies of chemical oxygen demand(COD) and those of total nitrogen at the entire system ranged from 94.2% to 96.6% and 73.4% to 83.4%, respectively.

Effect of organic loading rate on digester performance was evaluated under the conditions of same surface area/reactor volume ratio and different reactor diameter. At the low loading rate of $0.4\;kg\;COD/m^3{\cdot}d$, high rate of organic removal could be obtained regardless of reactor diameter. It can be estimated that reactor configuration can not affect reactor performance at the low loading rate. However, different performance depending on reactor diameter was observed at the organic loading rate of $6\;kg\;COD/m^3{\cdot}d$. That is, volatile acid accumulation and low COD removal efficiency was observed in reactor having 6.4 cm diameter, while volatile acid was not accumulated at all and high COD removal efficiency was observed in reactor having 3 cm diameter. Such a difference of reactor performance depending on reactor diameter can be explained that sludge bed can be fluidized by evolved gas bubble in narrow reactor while sludge bed can not be fluidized by evolved gas bubble only in wide reactor. At a high organic loading rate of $20\;kg\;COD/m^3{\cdot}d$, it can be judged that there is no relation between reactor configuration and reactor performance because all reactors showed very low COD removal efficiencies regardless of reactor diameter. Sludge bed fluidization is one of the most important factors in achieving efficient start-up of anaerobic digester. Narrow and tall type reactor is favorable condition for making sludge bed fluidization at a constant surface area/reactor volume ratio. Thus, it can be judged that reactor configuration and sludge bed fluidization have great influence to reactor performance.

The crossed cube, a variation of the hypercube, possesses a better topological property than the hypercube in its diameter that is about half of that of the hypercube. It has been known that an N-node complete binary tree is a subgraph of an (N+1)-node crossed cube [P. Kulasinghe and S. Bettayeb, 1995]. However, efficient embedding methods have not been known for the case that the number of nodes of the complete binary tree is greater than that of the crossed cube. In this paper, we show that an N-node complete binary tree can be embedded into an M-node crossed cube with dilation 1 and load factor [N/M], N>M$\geq$2. The dilation and load factor is optimal. Our embedding has a property that the tree nodes on the same level are evenly distributed over the crossed cube nodes. The property is especially useful when tree-structured algorithms are processed on a crossed cube in a level-by-level way.

Laboratory-scale experiments were conducted using a three-stage rotating biological contactor unit followed by lime precipitation and sedimentation with effluent recycle to the first stage. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of hydraulic loadings of 0.031-0.076 $m^3/m^2/d and recycle ratio of 1 to 3 on the simultaneous removal of organics and nutrients from domestic wastewater. Lime was added to maintain pH of 10.4-11.0 in the coagulation-flocculation reactor. Results showed that the highest nitrogen removal rate of 70.5% occurred at the lower hydraulic loading of 0.031 $m^3/m^2/d at a recirculation rate of 300%, and similarly, highest nitrification occurred at the same hydraulic loading and recycle ratio. Concentration of ammonia nitrogen in the effluent was less than 1 mg/l at the same operating conditions for higher nitrogen removal. Whereas, high BOD and COD removal was observed at hydraulic loading rate of 0.054 $m^3/m^2/d, and high removal of organic matter was evident from the consistent low COD and BOD value. Results obtained from the operating condition of higher loading rate, 300% of recycle rate showed the highest removals. Increasing in recycle rate and hydraulic loading rate increased the volatile solids fraction of the sludges generated to the extent of 47% at 0.076 $m^3/m^2/d hydraulic loading and 300% recirculation rate. Since pH in the flocculator was maintained at the pH of 10.4-11.0, above 90% removal of phosphorus was obtained. Average concentration of suspended solids was always maintained over 40 mg/l in the effluent. Therefore an RBC unit operating at a hydraulic loading near 0.031 $m^3/m^2/d with a recycle rate of 300% is a viable and feasible alternate conditions to produce an effluent with relative low organic matter and phosphorus, provided that there is a neutralization unit to control the pH and SS of the effluent.

The rapid advancement of the high-tech electronics industry has led to a significant increase in high-concentration ammonia wastewater. Various methods have been attempted to reliably treat wastewater containing high concentrations of ammonia, but no successful technology has yet been developed and applied. In this study, the removal efficiency and characteristics of ammonia nitrogen was evaluated according to changes in temperature, air loading rate, and liquid loading rate using a closed circulation countercurrent packed tower type demonstration facility for wastewater containing high concentrations of ammonia generated in the high-tech electronics industry. The temperature was varied while maintaining operating conditions of a wastewater flowrate of 20.8 m³ h^-1 and an air flow rate of 18,000 Nm³ h^-1. The results showed that at temperatures of 45,50,55, and 60℃, the removal efficiencies of ammonia nitrogen (NH₃-N) were 87.5%, 93.4%, 96.8%, and 98.7%, respectively. It was observed that temperature had the most significant impact on the removal efficiency of NH₃-N under these conditions. As the air loading rate increases, the removal rate also increases, but the increase in removal efficiency is not significant because droplets from the absorption tower flow into the stripping tower. Even if the liquid loading rate was changed by ±30%, the removal rate did not change significantly. This does not mean that the removal rate was unaffected, but was believed to be due to the relatively high air load rate. Through demonstration research, it was confirmed that ammonia stripping is a reliable technology that can stably treat high-concentration ammonia wastewater generated in the high-tech electronics industry.

Computational simulation has been performed to design optimally the filtration system for IGCC pilot plant. It was analyzed how the different inflow pattern influences the flow field and the particle behavior in a filter vessel. The particle loading onto the filter surface lowers significantly and decreases dramatically with particle size when the dusty gas flows into the filter vessel with a shroud tube through a tangential inlet setup tangentially on the vessel outer wall. However, the particle loading is considerably high when the dusty gas enters the filter vessel through a normal inlet setup vertically on the vessel top wall, and the decrease of the particle loading with particle size is not steeper compared with the tangential inflow pattern.

본 연구는 필드 작업 시 작업조건에 따른 정식기의 PTO 부하를 측정하고, 이를 이용하여 작업조건에 따른 안전율 시뮬레이션을 목적으로 수행하였다. 부하 계측 시스템은 PTO 축의 부하를 측정하기 위한 토크 센서, 토크 센서에서 발생한 신호를 수집하기 위한 데이터 수집장치, 노트북에 전원을 공급하기 위한 파워 컨트롤러로 구성하였다. 토크센서에서 입력된 부하 데이터를 처리하기 위한 소프트웨어는 Labview(Version 2011, National Instrument, USA)를 사용하였다. 포장시험은 유사한 토양 조건에서 4회 반복 시험을 수행하였으며, 작업속도 고속 조건에서 4개의 주간거리(26, 35, 43, 80cm)와 3개의 식부깊이 (85, 105, 136mm)에 대하여 수행하였다. 안전율 시뮬레이션을 위한 소프트웨어는 KISSsoft(Version 2016, Kissling & Co. AG, Switzerland)를 사용하였다. 식부깊이 85mm에서 주간거리 26, 35, 43, 80cm일 때 작업시 각각 굽힘 안전율은 2.2874, 2.4507, 2.7139, 2.8064로 나타났으며 접촉 안전율은 1.1787, 1.2799, 1.3205, 1.3275로 나타났다. 식부깊이 105mm에서 주간거리 26, 35, 43, 80cm일 때 작업 시 각각 굽힘 안전율은 2.1261, 2.2781, 2.4879, 2.5866로 나타났으며 접촉 안전율은 1.1296, 1.1425, 1.2710, 1.2507로 나타났다. 식부깊이 136mm에서 주간거리 26, 35, 43, 80cm일 때 작업 시 각각 굽힘 안전율은 1.6587, 1.6651, 1.7824, 2.2198로 나타났으며 접촉 안전율은 1.0030, 1.0104, 1.0450, 1.1931로 나타났다. 주간거리에 따른 식부깊이의 굽힘 안전율과 접촉 안전율은 가장 차이가 큰 주간거리 80cm에서 식부깊이가 85, 105, 136mm일 때 작업 시 각각 굽힘 안전율은 2.8064, 2.5866, 2.2198로 나타났으며 접촉 안전율은 1.3275, 1.2507, 1.1931로 나타났다. 시뮬레이션 결과 정식기 베벨기어의 안전율은 주간거리가 짧을수록, 식부깊이가 깊을수록 더 낮게 나타났다. 그러므로 정식 작업 시 정식기의 부하와 내구성을 고려하여 적절한 작업조건을 선정해야 함을 알 수 있다. 또한 향후 다양한 토양 조건 및 작업 단수 등에 따른 포장시험을 추가로 진행하여 여러 조건에서의 안전율 시뮬레이션을 수행할 예정이다.

한국에너지기술연구원에서는 가정용 고분자연료전지 열병합 발전시스템을 위한 통합형 천연가스 연료처리 시스템을 개발해 왔다. 가정용 시스템으로서 필수적인 소형화와 고효율을 현실화하기 위해, 연료처리 시스템의 각 단위 공정 즉 수증기 개질, 수성가스 전이, 선택적 산화 공정 등을 이중 동 심관형 반응기에 통합하여 상호 열교환이 용이하도록 반응기를 설계하였다. 현재 시험 운전 중인 Prototype-I 연료 처리 시스템은 1kW급 고분자 연료전지 열병합 발전 시스템에 개질 가스를 공급하기 위해 설계되었으며, 기초 성능은 정격 부하 운전시 열효율 78% (HHV 기준), 메탄 전환율 91%이다. 개질 가스 내 일산화탄소 농도는 고분자 연료전지 전극의 피독을 피하기 위해 10ppm 이하로 유지되어야 하며, Prototype-I 연료 처리 시스템은 백금과 루테늄 촉매를 적용한 선택적 산화 반응기를 통해 개질 가스 내 일산화탄소 농도를 10ppm 이하로 제거하였다. 일반 가정에서는 고분자 연료전지 시스템의 부하 변동이 예상되기 때문에 연료 처리 시스템의 부하 변동 운전 특성도 살펴보았다 정격 부하에서 80%, 60%, 40%로 부하를 변동하며 운전하였고, 각 부하에서 안정한 메탄 전환율과 10ppm이하의 일산화탄소 농도를 보였다. 80%까지는 열효율이 77%로 큰 변화를 보이지 않았으며, 60%에서는 76%, 40%에서는 72%로 열효율이 감소하는 현상을 보였다 연료 처리 시스템의 일일 시동-정지 운전시 내구성을 테스트 중이다. 현재까지 50여회의 일일-시동 정지를 시도하였다 시동 후 약 세 시간가량의 정력 부하 운전을 실시한 후 부하 변동을 실시하였고, 총 운전 시간 8시간 정도 운전한 후 시스템을 정지하였다 메탄 전환율과 일산화 탄소 농도, 열효율을 모니터링 하고 있으며, 현재까지 초기 성능을 그대로 유지하고 있다. 앞으로 일일시동-정지 운전 시험을 지속하면서 초기 시동 특성 및 부하 변동에 따른 응답 특성 개선, 그리고 연료전지와의 연계 운전을 실시할 예정이다

Downlink (DL) data rate for a MS is influenced by not only the signal to interference and noise ratio (SINR) but also the amount of radio resources allocated to the MS. Therefore, when a MS uses SINR to select a cell to associate with, it cannot receive the fastest DL data rate all the time if it associates with a congested cell. Moreover, the SINR-based cell selection may result in cell loads unbalance, which decreases the efficiency of a network. To address the issue, we propose a novel cell selection method by considering not only SINR but also a cell load which are combined into two cell selection criteria. One is the maximum achievable data rate and the other is the minimum outage probability. The simulation results show that the cell selection based on the maximum achievable data rate is superior to the SINR-based method and the method using the minimum outage probability in terms of the system efficiency and the fairness in cell loads while the cell selection method based on the minimum outage probability is superior to the others in terms of the outage probability of a MS.
