Amplitude anomalies or bright spots are often linked to hydrocarbon-bearing reservoirs but can also be caused by tuning effect resulting from interference when two reflectors are close together. Tuning effect can be removed from amplitude maps before seismic amplitude and reservoir thickness data are converted into estimates of hydrocarbon accumulations. The most straightforward way of removing tuning effect or 'detuning' is by comparing the reservoir amplitude in seismic data with the response of wedge or thin-bed models and calibrating the reservoir amplitude using the tuning curves from the models. Volumetric estimation for amplitude plays must be based on detuned amplitude maps because hydrocarbon volumes can be significantly overestimated when conventional amplitude maps are used.

The research is to insure the soundness of the stainless steel overlaid weld metal(21/4Cr-IMo steel + SUS 309L) for a pressure vessel application. Detail studies were conducted for the PWHT influence on the micrstructure and intergranular corrosion characteristics of the overlaid weld metal as well as initiation of hydrogen embrittlement crack(or Disbonding) when welded metal are exposed to the hydrogen atmosphere. Hydrogen was experimentally charged to the overlaid weld metal in order to study PWHT effect on the susceptibility of hydrogen embrittlement crack. The results of this research are as follows: 1. At the bond region, austenite grain of the stainless steel side became coarsed and Cr23C6 type carbide was precipitated at the coarsed austenitic grain boundaries. Intergranular Corrosion width(by Straiss test) increased with increasing PWHT temperature and PWHT time.

Excess tritium analysis was peformed to verify whether or not cold fusion occurs during electrolysis of heavy water in the current density range of 83~600 mA/$\textrm{cm}^2$ for a period of 24 ~ 48 hours with use of palladium electrodes of seven different processing treatments and geometries. The extent of recombination of D$_2$ and $O_2$gases in the electrolytic cell was measured for the calculation of accurate enthaplpy values. The behavior and interaction of hydrogen atoms with defects in Pd electrodes were examined using the Sieverts gas charging and the positron annihilation(PA) method. Slight enrichment of tritium observed was attributed to electrolytic enrichment but not to the formation of a by-product of cold fusion. The extent of recombination of D$_2$and $O_2$gases was 32%. Hence the excess heat measured during the electrolysis was considered to be due to the exothermic reaction of recombination but not to nuclear fusion. Lifetime results from the PA measurements on the Pd electrodes indicated that hydrogen atoms could be trapped at dislocations and vacancies in the electrodes and that dislocations were slightly more preferred sites than vacancies. It was also inferred from R parameters that the formation of hydrides was accompanied by generation of mostly dislocations. Doppler broadening results of the Pd electrodes indicated that lattiec defect sites where positrons were trapped first increased and then decreased, and this cycle was repeated as electrolysis continued. It can be inferred from PA measurements on the cold-rolled Pd and the isochronally annealed Pd hydride specimens that microvoid-type defects existed in the hydrogen-charged electrode specimen.

전 세계적으로 무한한 청정에너지 개발에 대한 연구가 주목받고 있다. 그 중, 수소에너지는 화석연료의 고갈과 환경문제를 동시에 해결할 수 있는 자원이며 수소 생산 방법 중에서도 태양에너지를 이용한 수소 생산 기술은 가장 이상적인 수소 생산 시스템이라 할 수 있다. 대표적인 광전극 소재로는 $WO_3$, ZnO, $Fe_2O_3$, $BiVO_4$ 등과 같은 무기 소재가 주로 사용되고 있으며, 최근에는 Si, CIGS 등과 같은 태양전지와 상기 광전극을 집적하는 탄뎀형 소재/소자가 개발되고 있다. 광전반응이 우수한 전도성 고분자는 광전기화학 전지의 소재로 개발되고 있다. 그러나 유기물의 수중 불안전성 문제 때문에 직접적으로 물에 침전시키는 것이 아니라 외부의 인가 전원용으로 그 사용이 제한적이다. 본 연구에서는 유기계 소재의 direct energy conversion을 위한 효율 및 수중 안정성 향상을 위하여 Ni계 촉매 및 그래핀옥사이드가 융합된 유기기반 광전기화학전지를 개발하였다.

There has been an increased interest in the mitigation of wax deposition because wax, which usually accumulates in subsea oil-production systems, interrupts stable oil production and significantly increases the cost. To guarantee a required oil flow by mitigating wax deposition, we need to obtain a reliable estimation of the wax deposition. In this research, we perform simulations to understand the major mechanisms that lead to wax deposition, namely molecular diffusion, shear stripping reduction, and aging. While the model variables (shear reduction multiplier, wax porosity, wax thermal conductivity, and molecular diffusion multiplier) can be measured experimentally, they have high uncertainty. We perform an analysis of these variables and the amount of water and gas in the multiphase flow to determine these effects on the behavior of wax deposition. Based on the results obtained during this study for a higher wax porosity and molecular diffusion multiplier, we were able to confirm the presence of thicker wax deposits. As the shear reduction multiplier decreased, the thickness of the wax deposits increased. As the amount of water increased, there was also an increase in the amount of wax deposits until 40% water cut and decreased. As the amount of gas increased, the amount of wax deposits increased because of the loss of the light hydrocarbon component in the liquid phase. The results of this study can be utilized to estimate the wax deposition behavior by comparing the experiment (or field) and simulation data.

In the modern industrial society, huge amount of organic wastes have exceeded the society's self-cleaning capability, caused pollution of the whole environment, including water quality, soil, and the air, and become a big burden of waste treatment. Moreover, the emission of green house gases brought by the continual combustion of fossil fuels has facilitated the global warming. The simultaneous effect of initial and operational pH on $H_2$ yield was expressed using mathematical equation and optimized. The optimal initial and cultivation pH was 7.50 and 6.01, respectively. Addition of livestock wastewater to food waste substantially decreased the amount of alkali requirement and also improved the $H_2$ fermentation performance.

SOI (Silicon On insulator)는 SiO$_2$와 같은 절연체 위에 실리콘 (Si) 박막층이 놓여있는 구조로서 전자나 광소자들이 실리콘 박막층 위에 만들어진다. SOI의 기본적인 생각은 기생 정전용량 (parasitic capacitance)을 감소시킴으로서 소자의 스위칭 속도를 더 빠르게 하는 것이다. 최근에 초고속 광소자와 단위 광소자들의 집적을 위해 실리콘 이외의 GaAs, InP, SiC 등의 반도체 박막을 절연층 위에 만드는 연구가 많이 진행되고있다. (중략)

Shale is considered as a source rock for conventional oil and gas exploration and development because shale is fine-grained detrital sedimentary rock which can preserve the organic matter better. Shale has a good sealing capacity for the petroleum trap due to its low permeability. Commercial recoveries of gas from shale in the North America based on the development of technologies of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing reveal that shale also function as a effective reservoir rock. Geochemical techniques to evaluate generation potential of the hydrocarbons from organic matter in the source rocks can be applied for the exploration of the shale gas resources. To evaluate shale gas resources, it is important to understand various geochemical processes and shale characteristics controlling generation, storage and estimation of shale gas reserves. In this paper, the generation mechanism of the oil and gas from organic matter is reviewed, and geochemical techniques which can be applied for the evaluation and characterization of shale gas are introduced.

In this study, the structural analysis was performed to optimize the membrane humidifier with hollow fiber membrane for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell system. The main design factors were considered by evaluating the humidifying performance according to various structural parameters such as packing density and length. The effects of operation conditions of membrane humidifier were also elucidated experimentally. Results imply that there are optimum points for the packing density and length of humidifier. It was also found that among operation conditions, relative humidity of wet exhaust gas and temperature of dry inlet gas have major effects on the humidifying performance.
