This paper presents the research results of analyzing the high-temperature corrosion characteristics of three currently commercialized heat exchanger tube materials under actual operating conditions of a biomass power plant. In order to precisely analyze the high-temperature corrosion characteristics of these materials, a high-temperature corrosion evaluation device was installed in the power plant equipment, which allows for adjusting the surface temperature of the heat exchanger tubes. Experiments were conducted for approximately 300 hours under various temperature and operating conditions. In this study, the commercialized heat exchanger tube materials used were SA213T12, SA213T22, and SA213T91 alloys. In order to objectively analyze the high-temperature corrosion characteristics of each material, an international standard-based process to remove corrosion products was applied to obtain the weight change of the specimens, and the average thickness loss and corrosion rate were derived. Thus, the high-temperature corrosion results for each condition were quantitatively compared and analyzed. In addition, in order to increase the reliability of the high-temperature corrosion evaluation method introduced in this study, the surface and cross-sectional corrosion of the specimens were confirmed by using scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis. Based on these analysis results, it was found that the corrosion resistance of the commercial heat exchanger materials increases as the content of chrome and nickel in the composition increases. Additionally, it was found that the corrosion phenomenon is rapidly accelerated as the surface temperature increases. Finally, the replacement period (lifetime) of the heat exchanger tubes under each condition could be inferred through this study.

Frequent algal blooms at major river systems in Korea have been serious social and environmental problems. Especially, the appearance of cyanobacteria with toxic materials is a threat to secure a safe drinking water. In order to model the behaviour of cyanobacteria cell number, an exclusive causality analysis using prewhitening technique was introduced to delineate effective parameters to predict the cell numbers of cyanobacteria in Seungchon Weir and Juksan Weir along Youngsan river system. Both input and output transfer function models were obtained to explain temporal variation of cyanobacteria cell number. A threshold behaviour of water temperature was implemented into the model development to consider winter characteristic of cyanobacteria. The implementation of water temperature threshold into the model structure improves the predictability in simulation. Even though the input output transfer model cannot completely explained all blooms of cyanobacteria, the simple structure of model provide a feasibility in application which can be important in practical aspect.

Spatial data mining has been developed to support spatial association knowledge between spatial features or its non-spatial attributes for an application areas. At the present time, a number of researchers attempt to the data mining techniques apply to the several analysis areas, for examples, civil engineering, environmental, agricultural areas. Despite the efforts that, until such time as not existed practical systems for the gCRMDMs. gCRMDMs is merged with very large spatial database and CRM information system. Also, it is discovery the association rule for the predictions of customer's shopping pattern informations in a huge database consisted with spatial and non-spatial dataset. For this goal, gCRMDMs need spatial data mining techniques. But, nowadays, in a most case not exist utilizable model for the gCRMDMs. Therefore, in this paper, we proposed a practical gCRMDMs model to support a customer, store, street, building and geographical suited to the trade area.

국내의 납석 광상은 대부분 백악기의 화산암류들이 열수변질되어 형성된 광상으로서, 주로 전남 및 경남 지역에 밀집되어 분포한다. 납석은 지질 여건상 주로 경상분지 내에 국제적인 규모의 풍부한 부존자원이 있지만, 그 동안의 개발에 의해서 고품위 황석들은 상당히 채진된 상황이다. 현재 개발되고 있는 광체들은 몇 곳의 광산을 제외하고는 대부분 저품위 광상을 이루고 있기 때문에, 새로운 광체의 탐광이 이루어지지 않는다면 앞으로 고품위 광석에 관한 한 국내의 수요를 충당하기 어려운 상황에 이를 것으로 예견된다. 현재 국내에서 납석으로 개발되고 있는 광석의 상당수(대략 $40\%$ 정도)가 엄밀한 의미에서는 사실상 납석이 아닌 고령토나 견운모 광석인 것으로 밝혀졌다. 엽납석을 함유하는 정상적인 형태의 납석들은 그수반 점토광물상에 의거하여 (l) 엽납석질, (2) 딕카이트질. (3) 일라이트질 및 (4) 딕카이트-일라이트질 유형으로 구분될 수 있다. 고령토 광물로는 대부분 딕카이트가 수반되고 외국에서는 흔히 수반되는 것으로 알려져 있는 고령석은 거의 함유되지 않는 것이 특징이다. 석영은 납석에서 점토광물 못지않게 그 용도를 가름하는 주요 성분으로서 대부분의 광석 유형에서 수반되지만 특히 일라이트질 납석에서 흔히 그리고 보다 많이 수반되는 양상을 보인다. X-선회절 정랑분석법은 납석의 품위를 산정하는데 유력한 수단이 될 수 있다. 특히 납석 이외의 점토광물들의 조성, 특히 일라이트의 함유 정도는 납석의 용도별 품위와 품질을 가름하는 주요 사항이다. 화학분석에 의한 납석의 평가 방식은 특히 납석의 백색 도기류와 같은 각종 세라믹스 제조 용도에서의 품질 평가에 결정적인 단서를 제공하는 유력한 평가수단이다. 특히 착색유발 성분인 철분의 존재와 그 함량을 정하고 요업용도에서 중요한 $Al_3O_3$와 알칼리 성분 함량을 검증하는데 필수적인 평가 방법이다. 이외에 주사전자현미경 관찰을 통해서 납석의 주요 품질 기준이 되는 극미립상 엽납석의 결정형, 조직 및 미시적 산출상태를 보다 정밀하게 평가할 수 있는 방안을 제공한다. 현행 광업법상의 납석을 비롯한 관련 광종들의 광물분류 체계가 모호하게 설정되어 있고 관련 인허가 부서에서의 전문성 및 지도력 부족으로 관련 산업계에 심각한 비효율성과 오류가 야기되고 있는 실정이다. 이를 개선하기 위해서는 납석의 광석평가 방식이 그 품위와 품질 개념 하에서 응용광물학적으로 적용되어야 할 것이다.

The Geo-Reservoir Experimental Analogue Technology (GREAT) cell was designed to recreate the thermal-hydro-mechanical conditions of deep subsurface in the laboratory. This apparatus can generate a polyaxial stress field using lateral loading elements, which rotate around the longitudinal axis of a sample and is capable of performing a fluid flow test for samples containing fractures. In the present study, numerical simulations were carried out for triaxial compression tests using the GREAT cell and the mechanical behavior of samples under different conditions of lateral loading was investigated. We simulated an actual case, in which triaxial compression tests were conducted for a polymer sample without fractures, and compared the results between the numerical analysis and experiment. The surface strain (circumferential strain) of the sample was analyzed for equal and non-equal horizontal confining pressures. The results of the comparison showed a good consistency. Additionally, for synthetic cases with a fracture, we investigated the effect of the friction and type of fracture surface on the deformation behavior.

내성천은 대한민국의 대표적인 모래하천으로서 흰수마자(Gobiobotia naktongensis)의 최적 서식처로 알려져 있다. 흰수마자는 낙동강에서 채집되어 새로운 종으로 보고된 한국 고유종이지만 최근 멸종위기야생생물 I급 담수어류로 지정되었다. 흰수마자는 입자가 1 mm 이하의 가는 모래로 90% 이상 구성된 모래하상과 수질이 양호한 곳에서 서식하는 것으로 알려져 있다(Kim et al, 2014). 특히 낙동강 중류의 감천과 상류의 내성천 수계에서 비교적 많은 개체수가 출현하고 있는 것으로 보고되었다(Na et al., 2015). 그러나 영주댐 건설 이후, 댐 하류 내성천에서 흰수마자의 개체수가 급격히 줄어들었다. 2021년 내성천 유역 자연성생태계모니터링 보고서(환경부, 2022)에 따르면 내성천에서 흰수마자가 2016년에 492개체가 채집된 이후 2019년 7월엔 1개체만이 채집되었으며 이후 2022년 8월까지 채집되지 않았다. 반면 망둥어과 어류 중 입자가 굵은 하상환경에서 주로 서식하는 밀어의 개체수는 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 이는 내성천 유역의 하상환경변화가 어류서식에 직간접적으로 영향을 미친것으로 해석할 수 있다. 본 연구는 물리서식처 모형인 River2D를 활용하여 내성천 석탑교(No. 46) 에서 회룡교(No. 4)까지 약 40 km 구간을 대상으로 2010년 하상 입자와 2020년 하상 입자 크기에 따른 흰수마자의 서식처 적합도 변동양상을 분석하였다. River2D 모형을 통해 계산되는 어류 서식처 적합도는 물리서식처 모의시스템에서 사용되는 가중가용면적(WUA: Weighted Usable Area)에 근거하여 산출된다. WUA는 대성어종의 특정 성장단계별, 서식처 특성별로 주어진 구간을 이용할 수 있는 순수적합도(net suitability)에 대한 하나의 지표이다. WUA가 크다는 것은 그만큼 대상어종의 서식처 및 활동 영역이 크다는 것을 의미한다. WUA는 각 절점에서 평가되어지는 복합서식처 적합도 지수에 의해 계산된다. 본 연구에서는 곱셈방법을 적용한 복합 서식처 적합도 지수를 산정하여 하상입자에 따른 흰수마자의 서식처 적합도 변동양상을 분석하였다.

This study focuses on the removal of water-suspended toluene of a representative sick house compounds in a liquid photo-system using nanometer-sized Sn-incorporated $TiO_2$ which was synthesized by a solvothermal method. The characteristics of the synthesized Sn-$TiO_2$ were analyzed by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and UV-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis). To estimate the photocatalytic activity of Sn-$TiO_2$, the photodegradation of water-suspended toluene was performed, and the remaining concentration was determined using UV-visible spectroscopy. The water-suspended toluene photodegradation over Sn-incorporated $TiO_2$ catalyst was better than that over pure $TiO_2$ (anatase). The water-suspended toluene of 500 ppm was perfectly decomposed within 300 minutes over 0.01 mol% Sn-$TiO_2$.

This research proposes a method to control combustion instability in a gas turbine combustor having an annular combustor form and compares the effect of flow symmetric braking through nozzle arrangement and the corresponding change in equivalent ratio. To this end, the symmetry breaking effect was confirmed through mode analysis of FFT, Time signal, and phase trajectory. In addition, the unstable area and the stable area were identified through mode analysis, and this was shown on the contour map. The present research shows that instability occurs when the equivalent ratio and the arrangement of the nozzles are symmetry or when the nozzles are continuously arranged, but if the arrangement and equivalent ratio are not symmetry, the combustion instability decreases dramatically even if the difference in the equivalent ratio is small.

We use the properties of competitive location equilibrium to study the relationship between the demand for education and the choice of primary residential location. Consumers can work and live in a comparatively high wage place where there are few education opportunities, or live in a place where education is available and commute to work. If education and employment are each location-specific, there are pooling equilibria in which consumers locate according to their preference for education. In general, the stronger the taste for education, the greater the attraction of living close to the education site and the lower the demand for other goods, including housing. Exploring the effects of the model parameters on the spatial distribution of consumers, we find that a higher frequency of trips taken to the education site, a shorter distance between the work place and the education site, or a greater out-of-pocket education cost each leads to a wider range of consumer types selecting to reside at the education location. We also find that a higher wage lowers the range of consumers who select to live near the education site.

Purpose: To improve glasses temple's insert processibility of CA/PEG blend, triacetin with higher specific heat values in the processing temperature range is used as second plasticizer. Methods: The total amount of plasticizer is fixed at 30 wt% by CA. To determine optimal CA/PEG/triacetin blend for glasses frame, blends with different composition ratio were examined by various analysis: thermal properties, mechanical properties, glossiness. Results: Specific heat of the CA/PEG blend increased as the content of triacetin. In CA/PEG/triacetin blends, as triacetin concentration is increased, glass transition temperature is decreased and heat conservation rate of composites is increased. Furthermore, CA/PEG/triacetin blend exhibited higher mechanical properties and similar gloss characterization with CA/PEG blend. Conclusions: It is possible to improve the processibility inserting metal support to CA temple through varying the weight ratio of PEG/triacetin. The extruded sheets of CA/PEG/triacetin blend had better glossiness and mechanical properties than those of CA/PEG blend.
