에탄올과 같은 저온 상변화물질의 팽창과 응축과정에서 발생하는 압력과 진공상태를 이용하여 물을 양수하는 물펌프는 태양열과 같이 에너지강도는 약하지만 그 자원이 무한하고 청정한 에너지원을 이용하기에 매우 이상적인 장치이다. 이와 관련한 국내 연구로서는 김 등(2002)에 의한 펜탄의 증기압을 이용한 물펌프장치의 에너지변환실험과 작동사이클 과정에서의 열역학적인 해석을 통한 성능분석이 있다. 장치의 설계와 관련하여 Kwant 등(1981)은 작동물질의 응축액을 가열부측으로 되돌리기 위한 방법으로 응축부와 물탱크, 공기탱크를 분리하여 설계한 바 있고, 온도변화에 따른 탱크효율에 대해 분석하였다.

In this study, the energy conversion equipment from the radiation energy to mechanical energy by using n­pentane as the operating fluid was constructed and the performance to pump the water was tested for the utilization of solar powered water pump. The equipment was designed optimally, after the theoretical analyses of the water pumping head and water quantity per cycle were done. The pentane vapour temperature in the condenser and the temperature of the outlet water from the condenser became lowered and the heat transfer rate became higher with decreasing the water inlet level to the condenser. The temperature difference between the condenser and the water tank was significant. Therefore, the distance between the water tank and condenser was recommended to be shorten and the diameter of their connecting pipe was recommended to be narrow in order to reduce the resistance of the fluid passage and improve the heat transfer rate. The amount of water pumped was 1.6­2.4 liters. Mass flow rate of the cooling water became lowered when the cooling water pipe was prolonged from the condenser to improve the heat transfer rate.

For digital image compression, various fractal image coding schemes using the self-similarity of image have been studied extensively. This paper discusses the problem that occurs during the calculating process of adaptive orthogonal transformation and provides improvements of LIFS coding scheme using the transformation. This proposed scheme has a better performance than JPEG for a wide range of compression ratio. This research also proposes an image composition method consisting of all domains of the transformation. The results show that the arithmetic operation processes of the encoder and the decoder become much smaller even without the distortion of the coding performance.

Air cooled condenser for power plant is used at inland area of desert or mountainous area because condenser coolant like sea water is not necessary. However, the performance of air cooled condenser is influenced by ambient condition such as wind speed and air temperature. Therefore, various devices have been designed to improve the performance of air cooled condenser. In this study, the CFD analysis for air cooled condenser was carried out according to wind speed and wind screen configuration. As wind speed increased from 3m/s to 7m/s, the fan flow rate was reduced about 15.76% and the rise of inlet air temperature was 5.55 degree of Celsius. When the suitable wind screen is equipped, the fan flow rate went up about 5.18% and inlet air temperature dropped by 2.08 degree of Celsius in comparison with original case without wind screen at 7m/s wind speed.

An AMTEC (alkali metal thermal electric converter) is a device that is used for the direct conversion of heat to electricity. Sodium is used as the working fluid, and its circulation is driven by a capillary wick. The wicks used for circulation include an evaporator wick, artery wick, and condenser wick, and each wick has a pressure drop because of the circulation of liquid and vapor. For the circulation of sodium, the capillary pressure of the evaporator wick must be greater than the total pressure drop in the wicks. In this study, the pressure drop in the evaporator wick, artery wick, and condenser wick and the heat loss from the evaporator to the condenser through the artery wick were analyzed for the design of a 100 W AMTEC prototype. It was found that a particle diameter of 10 ${\mu}m$ is suitable for the evaporator wick to maintain a capillary pressure greater than total pressure drop in the circulation loop.

바이오매스 에너지라 함은 생물체를 구성하는 유기물을 이용하는 에너지이다. 바이오매스는 에너지 위기 및 $CO_2$에 의한 지구온난화 및 화석자원의 고갈이 진행되면서, 화석연료와 달리 재생이 가능하고 지속 가능한 자원으로 각광을 받고 있다. 그 중에서도 목질계 바이오매스는 다른 신재생에너지원에 비해 국내 잠재량이 가장 풍부한 에너지원 중의 하나이다. 바이오매스 에너지 기술로는 직접연소, 열화학적 변환, 생화학적 변환의 기술이 있다. 본 연구에서는 목재를 원료로 한 부분산화 조건의 숯 생산 공정에서 목재의 열분해 가스 생산특성을 고찰하였다. 열분해가스 중에 응축된 목초액의 pH는 3.58～3.92 정도로 분석 되었고, 산도는 시간이 경과 할수록 2.74에서 4.44%로 농도가 증가 되었다. 숯 생산 공정에서의 목재의 열분해는 초기부터 48시간까지는 열분해가스의 조성의 변화가 거의 없었고, 48시간 경과 후에는 열분해가스 중에 가연성가스인 $H_2$, CO, $CH_4$가 약 5%정도 배출되는 것을 알 수 있었다.

A 30-m-thick Middle Ordovician Jigunsan Shale exposed along the southern limb of the Backunsan (Baekunsan) Syncline, Taebacksan (Taebaeksan) basin, has been simply considered as a transgressive shale sequence onlapped the underlying Maggol platform carbonates. Results of this study, however, suggest that majority of the Jigunsan Shale be interpreted as a regressive shale sequence downlapped onto a thin (ca. 240 cm) marine stratigraphic unit consisting of organic-rich (>3 wt.% of TOC) black shales in the lower Jigunsan Shale, which was accumulated at the time of maximum regional transgression. Detailed stratigraphic analysis in conjunction with XRD, XRF, and ICP-MS as well as Rock-Eval pyrolysis allows the thin marine stratigraphic unit in the Jigunsan Shale to define a condensed section that was deposited in a distinctive euxinic zone formed due to expansion of pycnocline during the early highstand phase. As well, a number of stratigraphic horizons of distinctive character that may have sequence stratigraphic or environmental significance, such as transgressive surface, maximum flooding surface, maximum sediment starvation surface, and downlap surface, are identified in the lower Jigunsan Shale. In the future, these stratigraphic horizons will provide very useful information to make a coherent regional stratigraphic correlation of the Middle Ordovician strata and to develop a comprehensive understanding on stratigraphic response to tectonic evolution as well as basin history of the Taebacksan Basin.

The solar powered water pump is very ideal equipment because solar power is more intensive when the water is more needed in summer and it is very helpful in the rural area, in which the electrical power is not available. The average so]ar radiation energy is 3.488 kWh/($m^2{\cdot}day$) in Korea. In this study, the automatic control logic and system of the water pump driven by the radiation energy were studied, designed, assembled, tested and analyzed for realizing the solar powered water pump. The experimental system was operated automatically and the cycle was continued. The average quantity of the water pumped per cycle was about 5,320 cc. The cycle time was about 4.9 minutes. The thermal efficiency of the system was about $0.030\%$. The pressure level of the n-pentane vapour in flash tank was 150$\%$450 hPa(gauge) which was set by the computer program for the control of the vapour supply. The pressure in the condenser and air tank during cycles was maintained as about 600 hPa and 1,200 hPa respectively. The water could be pumped by the amount of 128kg/($m^2{\cdot}day$) with the efficiency of $0.1\%$ and the pumping head of 10 m for the average solar energy in Korea.

부유 분진의 입경에 따른 물리, 화학적 특성은 대기질 및 인체의 건강 측면에서 중요한 변수로 작용되고 있으며, 호흡기내 침착 및 가시도의 영향에도 밀접한 관련이 있다. 거대입자는 주로 자연적 발생원에서 방출되고 호흡시 구강이나 코에서 대부분 제거된다. 미세입자는 인위적인 배출원에서 주로 방출되며 입경이 10$\mu\textrm{m}$이하인 것으로 보고되고 있다. 이들 1차 생성분진과는 달리 대기중에서 황산가스나 휘발성유기화합물 등이 응축과정을 거쳐 가스상에서 입자상으로 변환되어 생성된 입자도 환경학적으로 매우 중요한 의미를 갖는다.

대기 중에 부유하고 있는 입자상 물질은 보통 입경에 따라 2.5$\mu\textrm{m}$ 이하의 미세입자와 2.5$\mu\textrm{m}$ 이상의 조대입자로 나눌 수 있다. 조대입자는 토양 및 해염, 꽃가루, 화산재 및 토양 먼지와 같이 자연발생원에서 주로 생성되며, 인체에 큰 영향을 미치지 않는다. 그러나 미세입자는 화석연료의 연소, 자동차의 배출가스 및 화학물질의 제조공정 등의 인위적 발생원에서 주로 방출되며, 또한 이들 1차 생성분진과는 달리 대기중에서 황산가스나 휘발성 유기화합물 둥이 응축과정을 거쳐 가스상에서 입자상으로 변환되어 생성된 2차 입자도 환경학적으로 매우 중요한 의미를 갖는다.
