A numerical analysis on the uniformity of propellant injection velocity of KSR-III has been carried out to give design improvements. Injector holes were approximated as porous media with the same pressure drop . The injection velocity is higher at the opposite side of the inlet for both LOX and fuel due to the static pressure rise in the stagnation region. Flow passages at the vertical circular plate in the LOX dome increase the uniformity of LOX injection. Little change was observed in the injection uniformity and pressure drop for the slanted LOX passage. Also provided were the O/ F ratio distributions from the oxidizer/ fuel injection velocity analysis.

Government-funded research institutes in the field of science and technology of Korea have contributed to the growth of the national economy and industrial development since the 1960s. However, those institutes recently have faced with criticism over the R&D performance on investment. Accordingly, we suggest two analytical approaches that estimate the economic benefit of the R&D performance of those institutes, (1) 'bottom-up' approach that aggregates the economic benefits of individual performances, e.g., technology transfer, technology support for small and medium enterprises, and the supply of researcher manpower and (2) 'top-down' one that estimates the contribution of those institutes on the economic growth of the industries that the R&D performance of those institutes is mainly utilized. In addition, by applying two approaches, we computed the economic benefit of the performance of the K institute in the 1996-2014 periods at 12.3 trillion won and 29.5 trillion won, respectively. Lastly, we suggest the feasibility of two approaches from the perspective of complementarity. Our study provides analytical approaches that estimate the economic benefit of the R&D performance from government funded research institutes in Korea. Lastly, our study contributes to the understanding of public on science and technology as well as the enhancement of legitimacy on those institutes among the public.

Membranes are used to separate pure gas from gas mixtures. In this study, three different types of mass transport through a membrane were developed in order to investigate the gas separation capabilities of a membrane. The three different models typically used are a lumped model, a multi-cell model, and a discretization model. Despite the multi-cell model producing similar results to a discretization model, the discretization model was selected for this investigation, due to the cell number dependence of a multi-cell model. The mass transport model was then used to investigate the effects of pressure difference, flow rate, total exposed area, and permeability. The results showed that the pressure difference increased with the stage cut, but the selectivity was a trade-off for the increasing pressure difference. Additionally, even though permeability is an important parameter, the selectivity and stage cut of the membrane converged as permeability increased.

In this study, we analyzed a two-dimensional Stokes flow through a microchannel containing projections with constant spacing attached to each wall. The projections on the top and bottom walls were semi-circular in shape, with in-phase locations. By considering the periodicity and symmetry of the flow, the eigenfunction expansion and least squared error method were applied to determine the stream function and pressure distribution. For some typical radius and spacing values, the streamline patterns and pressure distributions in the flow field are shown, and the shear stress distributions on the boundary walls are plotted. In addition, the average pressure gradients in the microchannel are also calculated and shown with the radius and spacing of the projections. In particular, the results for the case of extremely small gaps between the projections on the top and bottom walls are in good agreement with the lubrication results.

98년말 동일제지에 도입 설치된 Condebelt 설비는 세계 최초의 대형생산설비로 국제적 인 관심을 모으고 있다. 이러한 첨단 Condebelt 기술의 국산화를 위해서는 국내 원료 특성 에 적합하도록 공정최적화가 요청된다. 본 연구에서는 KOCC를 원료로 이용한 라이너지를 C Conde belt를 이용하여 생산할 경우 주요 공정변수에 따른 물성 변화를 평가하고, 이를 통하 여 Condebelt 공정을 최적화하고자 실험실용 파일로트 건조기를 이용하여 Condebelt 공정의 주요 변수가 지질에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 실험용 Condebelt 건조장치의 상부플레이트는 18WC까지, 하부플레이트는 냉각수를 이용 하여 40-80'C까지 조절이 가능하도록 설계하였으며, 유압을 이용하여 압체 압력과 시간을 변화시킬 수 있도록 하였다. 구축된 실험장치를 이용하여 Conde belt 공정의 주요 변수인 온도, 압력, 압체시간, 유입 지필의 건조도 변화에 따른 라이너지의 물성 변화를 평가하고 이를 실린더 건조된 종이의 물성과 비교하였다. 그 결과 본 연구에서 검토된 모든 건조조건에서 Conde belt 건조된 종이가 실린더 건조 된 종이보다 높은 강도를 나타내었으며, 투기저항성과 광택도 역시 향상되었다. 투기저항성 과 광택도는 강도적 성질과 달리 유입지 건조도가 높을수록, 상부플레이트의 온도가 높을수 록 그 효과가 저하되었다. 일반적으로 KOCC를 원료로한 라이너지를 Conde belt로 제조할 경우 상부 고온챔버의 온도를 160'C, 압체압력을 5 bar로 조절하는 것이 가장 좋을 것으로 판단되었다. 원료펄프의 조성에 따른 Condebelt 공정의 건조효과를 연구한 결과 모든 펄프에서 공히 C Condebelt 건조방법이 실린더 건조방법에 비하여 물성 향상 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났으 며, 그 효과는 펼프의 리그닌 함량이 높을수록 크게 나타났다. 또 Condebelt의 물성개선 특 성을 이용한 원료비 절감 가능성을 평가하기 위해 AOCC와 KOCC를 이용하여 단층지와 이 층지를 제조하고 물성을 비교평가하였다. 그 결과 Condebelt를 이용하면 KOCC의 비율을 증가시키더라도 AOCC만을 이용하여 실린더 건조한 종이보다 우수한 물성을 얻을 수 있었다. 이러한 연구를 통하여 Condebelt 공정이 국내 저급원료로 제조된 종이의 강도 저하를 극복할 수 있는 기술임을 확인하였다.

This paper presents the strength safety and the weight reduction analysis of nine gas valve models for a LPG cylinder using a finite element analysis program, MARC and Taguchi's experimental method. The maximum Von Mises stress of a gas valve body represents a safety of a brass valve structure for the given gas pressure of $91kg/cm^2$, which considered a safety factor of a LPG gas cylinder. The weight reduction analysis is very important for reducing a gas flow friction loss and a manufacturing cost as a design parameter. The calculated results present an design model 9 as an optimized design data with 10mm radius of a lower part gas flow pipe A, 6mm radius of an upper part gas flow pipe B and a connecting length 2 mm of tapered pipe D between lower and upper pipes.

An experimental study has been done to investigate the explosion characteristics of aluminum powders with different sizes and concentrations in a 20 L spherical explosion vessel. Two different sizes of aluminum powder were used : $15.1{\mu}m$ and $34.8{\mu}m$ with a volume mean diameter. The results revealed that $15.1{\mu}m$ Al powder has a Lower explosion limit (LEL) of $40g/m^3$, a maximun explosion pressure ($P_{max}$) of 9.8 bar and a maximum rate of pressure rise ($[dP/dt]_{max}$) of 1852 bar/s, in $34.8{\mu}m$ Al powder, LEL of $70g/m^3$, $P_{max}$ of 7.9 bar and $[dP/dt]_{max}$ of 322 bar/s. The LEL of Al powders tended to increase with the increase of particle size. Also, it was found that the flame velocity calculated from the powder with $15.1{\mu}m$ was about 5 times higher than that of the powder of $34.8{\mu}m$.

To evaluate the applicability of the construction method involving infilling CFT columns by pumping-up, a trial construction was done using 6 actual size test samples. The 12.8m-high test samples were similar to a four-story building scale. The pumping-up level was controlled at 12m. The test used two types of high performance concrete with $450kgf/cm^2$ standard design strength, and a concrete pump which is used domestically. The pressure changes in pipes or pump as well as the changes in concrete characteristics were measured during construction. in order to evaluate applicability. After the concrete hardened, the column was dismantled. The filled state of the concrete, concrete strength distribution according to column height, etc., were checked to evaluate the quality of the concrete, From the results, some basic data which characterize the pumping-up pressure were suggested. Also, the strength of hardened concrete as well as the filled state were proven to be acceptable ranges.

Concrete is generally accepted to have good inherent fire resistance. It mainly relies on the assumption that concrete has low heat-transfer characteristic and spatting does not occur during the course of a fire. However, the significant numbers of fire accidents have shown in recent years that incidence of spatting has caused sever damages to many structures. This review has systematically investigated the behaviour of concrete in fire, including phenomenon of spatting, with respect to the theorical consideration and experimental results. Explosive spatting is caused by the build-up of water vapor pressure in concrete subjected to increasing temperatures. When this pressure exceeds the tensile strength of the concrete over a fire-exposed area, explosive spatting can result in a typical temperature range between $200^{\circ}C\;and\;400^{\circ}C$. The major functions are known to be moisture content, pore pressure, load ratio, and heating regime.
