Cavern Thermal Energy Storage system stores thermal energy in caverns to recover industrial waste heat or avoid the sporadic characteristics of renewable-energy resources, and its advantages include high injection-and-extraction powers and the flexibility in selecting a storage medium. In the present study, the structural stability of rock mass pillar between these silo-type storage caverns was assessed using a coupled thermal-mechanical model in $FLAC^{3D}$. The results of numerical simulations showed that thermal stresses due to long-term storage depended on pillar width and had significant effect on the pillar stability. A sensitivity analysis of main factors indicated that the influence on the pillar stability increased in the order cavern depth < pillar width < in situ condition. It was suggested that two identical caverns should be separated by at least one diameter of the cavern and small-diameter shaft neighboring the cavern should be separated by more than half of the cavern diameter. Meanwhile, when the line of centers of two caverns was parallel to the direction of maximum horizontal principal stress, the shielding effect of the caverns could minimize an adverse effect caused by a large horizontal stress.

To evaluate the potentiality of industrial use of cysteine proteinase inhibitor (cystatin) of tilapia egg and serum stability of the tilapia cystatin on low temperature storage and heat treatment was studied. When the eggs were stored at $4^{\circ}C$ for 3 days the cystatin activity was not changed much, while the supernatant of egg homogenate lost its cystatin activity significantly, remaining only about 65% of initial activity. When the eggs and serum were subjected to repeated freeze at $-20^{\circ}C$ and thaw at room temperature once a day, the egg cystatin was decreased after 5 cycles of freeze and thaw. However the serum cystatin was not changed by the 5 times repetition of freeze and thaw. More than 80% of egg cystatin activity was remained when the egg was heated at $35^{\circ}C$ for 30 min, but less than 10% was remained when heated at $50^{\circ}C$. On the other hand, the serum cystatin was very resistant to heat, remaining about 74% after heating at as high as $80^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. In summary, the egg cystatin was more stable when stored as intact form of egg rather than as supernatant of homogenate when stored at refrigeration. Egg cystatin was relatively stable against repeated freeze-thaw, and serum was found to be more stable in cysteine proteinase inhibitory activity than egg. Egg cystatin was not very resistant to heat treatment, while serum cystatin was quite resistant to high temperature heat treatment. These results suggest that tilapia egg and serum, especially the serum, would be a useful source for cysteine proteinase inhibitor in surimi production.

Effects of pH, temperature, light, sugars, organic acids, metal ions, ascorbic acid, thiamine nicotinic acid and pyridoxine on the stability of the color of the cranberry solution were investigated. The pH had marked influences on the color of the cranberry solution: i.e., the color of the cranberry solution was more intense at low pH. It showed characteristic bathochromic shift as the pH of the solution increased. The half-lives of olor value were 34 days at 37$^{\circ}C$, 91 mins at 9$0^{\circ}C$ and 29 mins at 12$0^{\circ}C$. Light gave an adverse effect to the stability of the color. The color degradation can be minimized by shielding the light from the cranberry solution. Among the sugars tested, fructose was the most deleterious followed by sucrose, galactose, maltose and glucose. Fumaric acid was found to be the most effective in stabilizing the color followed by citric acid, malic acid, acetic acid, while tartaric acid was found to be deleterious. Among the metal ions tested N $a^{+}$ and $Mg^{2+}$ were found to be effective in stabilizing the color, while M $n^{2+}$ was found to be the most deleterious followed by F $e^{2+}$, $K^{+}$ and $Ca^{2+}$. Ascorbic acid was found to be deleterious considerably followed by thiamine, while nicotinic acid and pyridoxine were found to be effective in stabilizing the color feebly.or feebly.

This study was carried out to investigate the change of dimensional stability of thermally compressed Korean pine (Pinus koraiensis Sieb. et Zucc.) wood by post heat treatment. Specific gravity of compressed wood was notably increased with thermal compression. In the compression set 50%, compressed Korean pine showed a specific gravity of 0.84. The amount of water absorption and swelling of thermally compressed Korean pine decreased with increasing temperature and time of the heat treatment. Set recovery also decreased with increasing temperature and time of heat treatment. Thermally compressed Korean pine that heat-treated in $120^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours showed a set recovery of 3.8%, whereas non-treated group showed 11.5%. Therefore, it was confirmed that the thermal treatment was a very effective method for the dimensional stability of the heat compressed wood.

We develop a ceramic composite separator prepared by coating $ZrO_2$ nanoparticles with a poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVdF-HFP) copolymer on a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) mechanical support prepared by electrospinning technique to improve thermal properties. The gurley number of the ceramic composite separator shows much lower value than that of a PE separator even though it possesses the polymeric coating layer with ceramic nanoparticles. In addition, the proposed sample shows higher electrolyte uptake than PE separator, leading to enhancing the ionic conductivity of the proposed sample and, by extension, the rate discharge properties of lithium ion batteries. Thermal stability of the ceramic composite separator is dramatically improved without any degradation in electrochemical performance compared to the performance of conventional PE separators.

최근 열전달율을 획기적으로 향상시킬 수 있는 고 열전도성 나노유체가 주목을 받고 있다. 고 열전도성 나노유체는 액상보다 열전도도가 수백~수만 배 높은 고상의 금속 또는 비금속 나노입자를 물이나 오일 등에 미량 균일하게 분산시킴으로써 기존의 유체가 가지지 못한 높은 열전도율과 분산안정성을 갖는 기능성유체를 말한다. 고 열전도성 나노유체는 기존 냉각시스템에서 냉각유체만 교체할 경우에도 열전달 효율을 20% 이상 향상시킬 수 있는 저비용 고효율작동 유체이다. 이 나노유체는 발전설비, 공조설비, 에너지 산업, 석유화학, 화학공업, 제철산업, 가정용 냉난방설비, 자동차 등 산업 전 분야의 열교환시스템에 활용이 가능하다. 따라서 고 열전도성 나노유체는 종래 열효율의 한계를 돌파할 수 있는 에너지 이용 효율 향상 기술의 패러다임을 바꿀 혁신적인 신소재로 여겨지고 있다. 그러나 현재까지 개발된 나노유체는 초기 열전도 특성은 우수하나 장기간 분산안정성이 확보되지 않아 시간이 경과함에 따라 열전도도가 점점 감소하는 경향을 보인다. 또한 탄소나노튜브를 분산한 나노유체의 경우와 같이 유체의 점도가 크게 증가하여 실제 산업에 적용 시 커다란 동력손실을 초래할 수 있으며 열교환시스템에 파울링이 발생할 소지가 크다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해서는 나노유체에서 열전달이 일어나는 메커니즘이 규명되어야 하지만 아직 명확한 이론이나 가설이 정립되어 있지 않다. 이 논문에서는 나노유체가 높은 열전도율을 보이는 현상을 설명할 수 있는 몇 가지 이론을 살펴 보고 지금까지 개발된 안정성이 아주 높은 나노유체의 열전도 특성을 비교 분석하여 획기적인 열전도성 나노유체 개발 가능성을 살펴보고자 한다. 이를 위해 나노입자의 조성, 유체 내 농도 및 자기장 등이 나노유체의 열전도율에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다.

수자원위성은 C-band 영상레이더(synthetic aperture radar, SAR)를 탑재한 중형급의 수자원 관리 및 수재해 감시 전용 위성이다. 수자원위성은 물 환경과 관련된 다양한 분야에 활용되어 고부가가치의 정보를 제공할 것으로 예상되는데, 특히 시계열 레이더 간섭기법(SAR interferometry, InSAR)의 적용을 통해 댐·보와 같은 수자원시설물의 미세변위 탐지 및 안정성 평가에 효과적으로 사용될 것으로 기대된다. 시계열 영상레이더 간섭기법은 고정산란체를 이용하는 Persistent Scatterer InSAR(PSInSAR) 기법과 분산산란체 기반의 Small BAseline Subset(SBAS) InSAR 기법으로 대표된다. 이 연구에서는 수자원위성에 적합한 수리시설물 시계열 변위 모니터링 알고리즘 개발을 목적으로, Sentinel-1 위성의 C-band SAR 기반 시계열 레이더 간섭기법의 적용성을 평가하고 알고리즘 개발에 고려해야 할 사항들을 분석하였다. 2020년 여름 수재해가 발생한 섬진강댐과 담양댐 및 수변부를 테스트 사이트로 선정하고, 2019년부터 2021년까지의 Sentinel-1 시계열 SAR 영상에 PSInSAR와 SBAS InSAR를 적용하여 시계열 변위를 관측하였다. 댐체에서는 PSInSAR가 SBAS InSAR에 비해 신뢰할 수 있는 시계열 변위를 산출하였다. 그러나 시계열 분석 기간이 길어짐에 따라 PSInSAR 시계열 변위의 정밀도가 낮아지는 경향이 관측되었다. 수변부에서 PSInSAR는 변위 정보를 거의 제공하지 못했다. SBAS InSAR는 수변부의 시계열 변위 모니터링에 효과적이었으나, 여름철 장마 등으로 인해 레이더 간섭도의 긴밀도(coherence)가 낮아질 경우 부정확한 변위를 산출하였다. 앞으로 국내의 다양한 수자원시설물을 대상으로 Sentinel-1 위성을 이용한 시계열 변위 모니터링 알고리즘의 적용성 평가 연구가 진행될 예정이며, 연구 결과를 수자원위성의 관측 특성에 적합한 변위 탐지 알고리즘의 개발에 활용하고자 한다.

Thermally induced vibration response of composite thin-walled beams is investigated in this paper. The flexible spacecraft appendages modeled as thin-walled beam incorporates a number of nonclassical effects of transverse shear, primary and secondary warping, rotary inertia and anisotropy of constitute materials. Thermally induced vibration responds characteristics of a composite thin walled beam exhibiting the circumferantially uniform system(CUS) configuration are exploited in connection with the structural flapwise bending lagwise bending coupling resulting from directioal properties of fiber reinforced composite materials and ply stacking sequence. A coupled thermal structure gradient is investigated.

As demand for high value-added products with hard materials increases, the line center is used for producing high value-added products in many industries such as aerospace, automobile fields. The line center is a key device for smart factory automation that can improve the production efficiency and the productivity. Therefore, the development of a mill-turn line center is necessary to produce high value-added products with complex shapes flexibly. In the mill-turn process, a milling process and a turning process are combined. In particular, the turning process needs to increase the rigidity of the spindle. The purpose of this study is to analyze the thermal-structural stability through thermo-structural coupled analysis for a mill-turn spindle with a curvic coupling. The maximum temperature and thermal stability of the spindle were analyzed by thermal distribution. In addition, the thermal deformation and thermal-structural stability of the spindle were analyzed through thermo-structural coupled analysis.

For predicting eigenfrequency and initial growth rate of combustion instabilities in lean premixed gas turbine combustor, linear thermoacoustic analysis model was developed in the current paper. A model combustor was selected for the model validation, which has well-defined inlet and outlet conditions and a relatively simple geometry, compared to the combustor in the previous works. Analytical linear equations for thermoacoustic waves were derived for a given combustion system. It was found that the prediction results showed a good agreement with the measurements, even though there was underestimation for instability frequencies. This underestimation was more obvious for a longer flame (i.e. wider temperature distribution) than for a shorter flame.
