This study proposes a numerical model which is able to simulate turbidity currents intruding into a reservoir and resulting sediment depositions. The proposed model is applied to laboratory experiments by Toniolo and Schultz (2005), and propagation of turbidity currents, morphological change, and trap of suspended sediment are simulated. It is simulated that the turbidity current after plunging at the foreset of the model delta, propagates along the bottom. The thickness of the turbidity current increases significantly after being blocked by the dam, and this effect is propagated in the upstream direction. In addition, it is simulated that the foreset moves in the downstream direction due to both the bedload and suspended load and the thickness of the bottom set increases due to the suspended load. It is found that the height of the intake affects the thickness of the turbidity current and the location of the internal hydraulic jump. The impact of the height of the intake on the trap efficiency is not clear in the experimental results, however, overall trap efficiency is predicted quite successfully by the model. Also, sensitivity analysis is carried out, and the results indicates that the particle size affects the trap efficiency most.

우리나라에서 홍수기에는 하천에 부유사를 포함한 수체가 침강되어 하층 밀도류 형태로 전파된다. 온도로 성층화가 심하게 되지 않은 댐의 경우 하층 밀도류로 댐체까지 전파되고, 유출되어 하류로 흘러가거나 차단되어 담수된다. 침사용 저수지는 하류에 있는 저수지에 유사 전파를 막기 위해 건설된 댐으로, 이를 잘 관리하기 위해서는 밀도류의 차단에 대한 연구가 필수적이다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 층적분 모형을 사용하여 밀도류의 전파와 이에 따른 저수지의 유사 차단 현상을 모의하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 1차원 수치모형을 제시하였으며 실내실험 자료에 적용하여 밀도류의 전파 및 차단 양상을 분석하였다. 모의 결과 소류사는 대부분 상류단에서 퇴적되고, 부유사가 밀도류에 포함되어 하류단까지 전파되고, 차단되는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 질량보존과 운동량 보존에 의해 저수지 전체에서 밀도류 두께가 증가되며 담수되는 현상을 확인하였다. 담수된 밀도류의 포집효율에 영향을 미치는 인자를 분석하고, 포집효율에 대한 각 입자의 민감도 분석을 수행하였다.

1. 서론 : 분리막 시설의 전처리방법에는 Sand Filter, 유니필터 그리고 케트리지(5$\mu$m) 필터가 상용되어 왔다. 그러나 Sand Filter와 유니필터 등은 설치비용은 저렴하지만 처리수질이 5$\mu$m 케트리지 필터보다 떨어지므로 분리막시설의 전처리로 미흡하다. 통상적인 분리막 시설의 설계시에 사용되는 5$\mu$m 케트리지 필터는 역세가 불가능하므로 교체하지만 대규모의 수처리설비나, SS의 농도가 높은 경우에 있어서 분리막의 전처리시설로 적합치 않다. 한편 5$\mu$m 케트리지 필터는 대체하기 위한 정밀여과장치가 많이 개발되고 있으며 Z필터, BMF, Cross Filter 등이 그러한 여과장치들이다. 본 글에서 소개할 VPMF(Variable Pore Micro Filter, 가변세공 정밀여과장치)도 그러한 여과장치와 유사한 기능과 성능을 가진 정밀여과장치이다. 본 연구에서는 Caolin을 이용하여 50~100ppm 사이의 SS농도하에서 VPMF의 처리수질, 역세효율, SS포집능력 등을 평가해 볼 것이다.

A simplified experiment was performed to figure out the atomization characteristics of highly viscous liquid of rice-bran oil by applying ultrasonic energy to improve the atomization of spray droplets. A spray system, an ultrasonic system, and three kinds of pintle-type nozzles(pin-edge angle: 5 , 10 , 15 ) were manufactured. To investigate the effects of ultrasonic energy on the atomization of a highly viscous liquid, a phase doppler particle analyzer was used for the measurement and calculation of spray droplets data. Nozzle opening pressures were chosen of 3 levels, i.e, 10, 13, 16 MPa. As a result, it could be concluded that the ultrasonic energy was effective to improve the spray atomization when applied to the fuel by means of 3 different nozzles because of the effects of the liquid fuel cavitation and relaxation between molecules caused by ultrasonic energy. The improvement rate of the spray atomization by the ultrasonic spray atomization by the ultrasonic spray compared with the conventional spray was about 10% increase in the case of pintle type nozzles. With the increase of pin-edge angles the distribution lines by nozzle opening pressures are declined for both conventional and ultrasonic sprays. This means that the increase of the pin-edge angle improves the atomization of sprays.

In this study, poly ${\varepsilon}$-caprolactone(PCL) microcapsules containing lemongrass oil was prepared by the solvent evaporation method. Effects of concentrations of PCL and poly vinyl alcohol (PVA) as well as stirring speeds when preparing microcapsules were investigated. Specific peaks of lemongrass oil in PCL microcapsules at 1600 and $2900cm^{-1}$ were observed by FT-IR. The particle size and shape of microcapsules were also measured by polarizing microscope and optical microscopy. The average particle size of microcapsules decreased with increasing the stirring rate. At the stirring speed of 1500 rpm, and 1 wt% of each PCL and PVA concentrations, the smallest particles were formed. Collection efficiencies of lemongrass oil of 77.5% and 69.5% were obtained when 1.5 wt% of PCL and 2 wt% of PVA were used, respectively. In addition, the release behavior and antioxidant activity of lemongrass oil from PCL microcapsules were examined using UV-Vis spectrophotometry. When 0.5 wt% PCL and 2.0 wt% PVA were used with the slow stirring rate, microcapsules showed a fast release rate. The characteristics of antioxidant activity exhibited similar to that of the release behavior.

To meet both increasing social demand for reduction of fine dust and the strengthened air pollutant emission standards, this paper indicated performance enhancement of FGD with structural constraints in 500 MW coal fired thermal power plant's. Through modifying internal facilities for flue gases to make swirl in the absorption tower, it made turbulence and increased the efficiency of material transfer, the reaction area and time with the limestone slurry. Therefore, it could reduce dust and enhance the performance of collecting the SO₂. As a result, desulfurization efficiency was improved from 91.61% to 98.43% and dust removal efficiency was improved from 77.4% to 87.08%. Emission density is 7.85 ppm of SO₂ and 4.67 mg/㎥ of dust. This is a level that satisfies emission limit of 25 ppm of SO₂ and 5 mg/㎥ of dust which are the air pollutant emission standards of 2023. The performance enhancement method of this study is expected to be effectively applied to other coal-fired power plants with similar constraints.

Promising geological structures for carbon dioxide capture and subsurface storage include aquifers, depleted reservoirs, and gas fields. Among these, aquifers are gaining attention due to their potential for storing significant amounts of carbon dioxide compared to other geological structures. Therefore, there is a growing interest in enhancing carbon dioxide storage efficiency by understanding the characteristics of aquifers and developing technologies tailored to their properties. In this study, the storage efficiency of carbon dioxide injection following surfactant pre-injection into porous micro-models was evaluated. The results indicate that as the concentration of the surfactant solution injected prior to carbon dioxide injection increases, storage efficiency improves. Conversely, lower concentrations require more surfactant injection to enhance storage efficiency. Furthermore, under identical surfactant concentration conditions, the storage efficiency from surfactant pre-injection prior to supercritical carbon dioxide injection is approximately 30% lower compared to surfactant-co-solvent substitution as observed in previous studies. However, under the maximum concentration conditions investigated in this study, similar storage efficiencies to those of previous studies were achieved. These findings are expected to guide concentration determinations for surfactant application aimed at enhancing carbon dioxide storage efficiency in aquifers in future studies.

저분자량의 가스와 물이 물리적 결합으로 이루어진 가스 하이드레이트는 상대적으로 많은 양의 가스가 포집될 수 있다는 특성을 이용하여 다양한 분야에서 활발한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 매립지에서 발생되는 매립가스를 하이드레이트의 원리를 이용하여 효율적으로 저장 및 수송하기위한 공정에 적용하기위해 필요한 매립지 가스 하이드레이트의 상평형에 대한 특성을 분석하고자한다. 일반적으로 매립지 가스에는 메탄이 약 50%, 이산화탄소가 약 35%, 질소가 약 6% 포함되어 있으며 그 밖에 산소, 수분, 암모니아 황화수소 메르캅탄 등 할로겐 계통을 포함한 탄화수소계화합물 수십여종이 포함되어 있다. 이러한 매립지가스를 하이드레이트화 하기위해서는 매립지가스에 포함된 다양한 성분들이 하이드레이트 형성에 미치는 영향을 알아볼 필요가 있다. 특히 황화수소의 경우 독성이 있으며, 실제 플랜트에서 장비의 부식등 악영향을 미치므로 이와 관련한 기초 연구가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 메탄, 이산화탄소, 황화수소가 각각 49.9%, 50.05%, 500ppm의 조성으로 이루어진 혼합가스를 이용하여 하이드레이트 생성 및 해리 시 거동을 측정하고 그 상평형 영역을 기존데이터와 비교분석 하였다. 25bar, 36bar에서 측정한 상평형 데이터는 한국해양대학교 에서 측정한 결과와 마찬가지로 실제 상평형 영역이 CSMHYD 프로그램으로 예측한 것보다 하이드레이트의 안정영역이 약 2bar 정도 높게 형성되는 것을 확인하였으며, $CH_4+CO_2+H_2S$ 혼합가스 하이드레이트의 생성 시 mol consumption은 $CH_4+CO_2$ 혼합가스 하이드레이트와 유사하게 나타났다. 이 결과로 유추하건대, 황화수소의 첨가는 하이드레이트의 형성 압력을 높이지만, 하이드레이트 형성률에는 크게 영향을 미치지 않는다고 할 수 있다.

An integrated wastewater treatment pond system is developed for treatment and recycling of excreta from dairy cattle. It is composed of three ponds in series. A pit with a capacity of $10m^3$, 2-day hydraulic residence time, and overflow velocity of $1.5m^3m^{-2}day^{-1}$ is located internally in primary pond. It is designed for efficient sludge sedimentation and effective methane fermentation. It receives $5m^3/day$ of diluted cattle excreta by the water used for clearing stalls. A submerged gays collector for the recovery of methane is installed on the top of the pit. The average BOD_5 concentration of influent is 398.7mg/l. That of the effluent from primary pond is 49.2mg/l. About 88% of BOD_5 are removed in primary pond. It is assumed that about 60% of the influent BOD_5 is removed in the pit and that almost all of the carbon of the removed BOD_5 in the pit is converted to methane and carbon dioxide. Methane fermentation of the pit is well established at $16^{\circ}C$. This phenomena results from temperature stability, complete anaerobic condition, and neutral pH of the pit. Gas from the collector is almost 90% methane, less than 9% nitrogen, and less than 1% carbon dioxide. Thus a purified methane is produced, which can be used as energy source.

Alpha spectrometry is typically used for the assessment of uranium particle concentrations and its accuracy can be directly related to the accuracy in which the radiochemical pre-treatment is conducted. Ashing and alkali fusion methods are typically used but the ashing method requires longer analysis time and the alkali fusion method is extremely costly. Therefore, a new pre-treatment method using ultrasonic cleaning was developed and its experimental result was compared against the two conventional methods in terms of pre-treatment time, convenience, cost, and recovery rate of a target material. The results that were obtained by the conventional methods(ashing and alkali fusion) and the new method were compared. Consequently, even though the shorter pre-treatment time was required, the new technique showed almost same recovery rate comparing with two conventional methods. The new method was also featured by its relatively lower cost and a simpler process than two conventional methods.
