The objective of this study is to investigate the effects light diesel-water emulsified fuel on performance and exhaust emissions of the compression ignition engine. The experimental results of light diesel-water emulsified fuel operation with new type ultrasonic emulsification apparatus as compared with light diesel operation are very positive; maximum 28% reduction of SFC (in the case of 30% of water content), maximum 60% reduction of smoke (in the case of 30% of water content), maximum 79% reduction of CO emission (in the case of 30% of water content). However, comparing light diesel-water emulsified fuel and light diesel in the same engine under the same operating conditions, power and torque were lower in the case of emulsified fuel. In view of the results for the above mentioned, the mixing of water into light diesel in the form of emulsification proved to be the best means for reduction of specific fuel consumption and exhaust emissions of C.I. engines.

An OWC-type Wave Energy Conversion passes through 3 steps energy conversion process. This paper deal with the internal oscillating flow and effect of shape of air chamber and duct at setting place of turbine by numerical analysis using commercial CFD code, FLUENT. Air chamber and duct in OWC-type wave energy conversion are adopting sudden expanded and contracted form for high-efficiency. So, whole oscillating flow from OWC-type chamber to outlet duct through duct was solved by steady and unsteady analysis in order that flow efficiency of air chamber and duct was made better.

This paper aims to identify and clarify the cyber security risks and their interaction with the power system in Smart Grid. The EMS and other communication networks interact with the power system on a real time basis, so it is important to understand the interaction between two layers to protect the power system from potential cyber threats. In this study, the optimal power flow(OPF) and Power Flow Tracing are used to assess the interaction between the EMS and the power system. Through OPF and Power Flow Tracing based analysis, the physical and economic impacts from potential cyber threats are assessed, and thereby the quantitative risks are measured in a monetary unit.

자연하천에 존재하는 식생은 동식물에게 주거지를 제공할 뿐만 아니라 영양염류 흡착 및 정화작용을 통해 수질을 개선시키는 역할을 한다. 이러한 식생하천에 오염물질이 유입될 경우 식생에 의한 흐름 교란 작용으로 인해 오염물의 확산거동에 큰 영향을 주게 된다. 본 연구에서는 식생하천에서의 오염물질 혼합특성을 분석하기 위해 식생모형 실험을 수행하였고, Fischer et al (1979)이 제시한 이론식을 실험결과에 적용하여 종분산계수를 산정하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 자연하천을 재현하기 위해 실험수로에 수중식생 모형을 설치한 후 ADV-Vectrino유속계를 이용하여 유속을 측정하였으며 실험을 통해 식생흐름에서의 유속분포 자료를 취득하고 이를 바탕으로 종분산계수를 산정하였다. 먼저 수중 식생흐름에서 연직유속분포를 측정한 결과, 식생이 존재하는 바닥근처에서는 유속이 느리다가 비식생 구간으로 가면서 유속이 증가하는 분포를 나타낸다. 또한 이 설치된 테스트 구간에 밀도와 유량변화에 따른 케이스를 적용하여 비교 및 분석을 한 결과 식생 밀도를 고정시키고 유량을 증가 시켰을 때 식생구간과 식생이 없는 구간에서의 유속도 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 유량을 고정시키고 식생의 밀도를 순차적으로 높였을 경우 식생구간에서의 유속이 점차적으로 줄어드는 경향을 보였다. 다음으로 분산계수를 결정하는 방법에는 농도자료를 이용하는 방법과 유속자료를 이용하는 방법이 있는데 본 연구에서는 유속자료를 Fischer et al. (1979)의 이론식에 적용하여 분산계수를 산정하는 방법을 적용하였다. Fischer et al. (1979)가 제시한 식에서 먼저 전단 유속 값을 산정하기 위해 벽법칙 (Karman, 1930), 레이놀즈 전단응력 그리고, 난류운동에너지 (Graf, 1998) 방법을 사용한 후 복잡한 난류 흐름에 적용하기 가장 적합하다는 난류운동에너지 방법을 적용하여 전단 응력이 가장 크게 나온 식생모델 끝단에서의 값을 사용하였다. 그 결과, 수중 식생이 존재하는 흐름에서 무차원화 시킨 종분산계수는 6.89-9.78로 나타났다, 이는 Elder (1959)의 수심 적분을 통해 제시한 종분산계수 값 5.93보다 크다. 즉, 수중 식생이 존재할 경우 종분산계수는 식생이 존재 하지 않을 때 보다 증가하는 것으로 보여 진다.

For the treatment of wastewaters generated from beer industry and petrochemical company with high organic and nitrogen contents, laboratory scale of A/O Pure-Oxygen Biofilm (POB) process was developed and studied by means of the comparative economic analysis with extended aeration process. When the wastewater of beer company was initially treated by the A/O POB process in the ranges of 70 to 150 mg TOC/L diluted with tap water, higher than 92% of TOC removal was accomplished in the all ranges. In case of petrochemical wastewater, the initial TOC removal was as low as 52%, though, it increased to 86% after 32 days of operation and also the TKN removal marked 71% after 27 days. Continuous high removal rates were monitored in both the TOC and TKN parameters during the experimental period. Due to the cost for PSA (Pressure Swing Adsorption) setting and biomass supporting media installation, the initial construction cost of A/O POB process was 2.9 times higher than that of extended aeration process. However, the advantages such as low sludge production, no need for sludge recycling and low energy consumption allow the A/O POB process to have 2.5 times lower operation and maintenance costs. Consequently, in the long term of operation, it is likely that A/O POB process would show higher performance as well as cost effectiveness compared to extended aeration process.

The Intermittent Aeration MBR systems have the advantage of controlling reaction time by changing aeration period and are one of economic BNR systems since these processes do not require MLSS recirculation that demands capital and operation costs. In this study, two intermittent aeration MBR systems were studied by computer simulation: an intermittent aeration MBR system that had both 1hr/1hr and 4hr/4hr aeration/unaeration periods at intermittent reactor and NEW INTERMITTENT-process that was an energy saving process and certified as a new process by Korean government. Since DO concentration reached only at 0.23mg/L at intermittent reactor when it was aerated, the Intermittent aeration MBR system having 1hr/1hr aeration/unaeration period showed simultaneous nitrification/denitrification and had the highest nitrogen and phosphorus removal efficiencies that were 57% and 55%, respectively. Since this study was based on the constant influent flow and characteristics, more studies are needed to define the operational characteristics of intermittent aeration MBR systems under dynamic influent conditions.

This paper described a laboratory investigation of micro hydropower at lower head water in a free vortex flow. The vortex height, turbine rotation and torque for straight blade with inner curved edge, twisted blade and curved blade were investigated at the flow rate of 0.0069 ㎥/s in the inlet channel. The results showed that the optimum vortex strength occurred within the range of the diameter of basin to the outlet diameter ratios of 0.17~18.5. The power output and efficiency of straight blade were higher as compared to other blades. The highest amount of generated energy was 12.33 W, the torque was 0.91 N·m and the highest efficiency by considering effective head was 29.5 %, whereas the highest efficiency by considering vortex height was 80.5 % at the rotational speed of 132 rpm. The water vortex velocity of straight blade was about 2.8 times larger than the mean velocity in the inlet channel.

This study was carried out to estimate beneficial effects of Foeniculi fructus water extract on activities of key enzymes such as lipoprotein lipase (LPL), acyl-CoA synthetase (ACS), and hormone sensitive lipase (HSL) on lipid metabolism related with obesity. LPL and ACS were extracted from the epididymal adipose tissue and liver of C57BL/6J normal and obese mouse. Foeniculi fructus water extract treatment significantly reduced the activity of normal and obese LPL. When 100 ppm of Foeniculi fructus water extracts were tested, they decreased obese LPL activity by 12.0%. Foeniculi fructus water extract activated obese ACS activity by 7-fold compared with control at 1,000 ppm concentration. Expression of HSL mRNA was increased in Foeniculi fructus water extracts treated cells compared with non treated cells. All things considered, Foeniculi fructus water extract efficiently inhibits the influx of fatty acid into the cell, and activates metabolic process that uses fatty acids flowing as an energy source. Thus, it suggest that Foeniculi fructus water extract may have great potential as a novel anti-obesity agent.

Harmful aquatic organisms introduced by ship movement cause marine ecosystem disturbances and are in the form of ballastwater and biofouling. Harmful marine life from ballastwater has been considerably reduced because mandatory treatment on all vessels is required to install onboard vessels. However, there remains risk of migration because biofouling is recommended to countries for management through the IMO guidelines. In particular, biofouling management has recently attracted attention for achieving IMO GHG reduction targets because it contributes to energy efficiency, as well as there are reasons for marine ecosystem protection. In recent years, increasing international consensus on the need for biofouling management is likely to lead to enforcement regulations. Thus, this study suggests the management method of hull attachment organisms in Korea, focusing on the cases of foreign countries that have regulated hull attachment organisms.
