Black carbon (BC) contained in particulate matter (PM) originating from the exhaust gases of ships' diesel engines has been receiving great attention as a cause of glacial melting and warming in the polar regions. In this study, we took samples from various locations of PM emitted from the training ship (T/S) HANBADA's main engine, in cooperation with the Korea Maritime and Ocean University. We analyzed the structure and characteristics of these samples using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) and applied our findings as fundamental research for developing PM reduction technology. We also employed our results to determine appropriate preemptive action to meet upcoming PM/BC regulations. In addition, we confirmed the emission trend of pollutants from exhaust gases under various engine operating conditions using an exhaust gas analyzer. Results obtained from the analysis of HR-TEM images showed that the structure of the PM is chain-like wispy agglomerates consisting of a number of individual spherical particles. As the sampling location was moved away from the turbo charger (T/C) towards the funnel, more condensates were observed at a low temperature and the molecular structure of the PM lost its characteristic BC structure as an amorphous structure gradually appeared. Furthermore, through the analysis of exhaust gases, we predicted a decrease in PM concentration in the exhaust stream as engine rpm increase.

The dimensionless extinction constants of particulate matter for F-76 diesel and JP-8 aviation fuels were measured at both 633 nm and 853 nm in the transmission cell where the simultaneous gravimetric measurement of PM concentration is compared to the light extinction measurement. For the F-76 diesel PM, the average value of the dimensionless extinction constants at 633 nm was 8.8 whereas that of the dimensionless extinction constants for JP-8 was 9.8 at the same wavelength. As the wavelength is increased to 853 nm, the average value for the F-76 diesel was reduced to 8.2 whereas that for JP-8 was decreased to 8.9.

This study was designed to assess the quality and quantity of food resources such as the chlorophyll a concentration (Chl-a), the particulate organic carbon (POC) and the particulate organic nitrogen (PON), on blood cocke (Tegillarca granosa Linnaeus) farms from May to November 2017 in the northwestern area of Yeoja Bay, Korea. The values of Chl-a, POC and PON were $1.69-7.68{\mu}g{\cdot}L^{-1}$ (average: $3.48{\mu}g{\cdot}L^{-1}$ in the surface), 0.88-2.58 mM (average: 1.97 mM) and 0.17-0.90 mM (average: 0.54 mM), respectively, and these values were higher in the spring and summer and lower in the autumn. Furthermore, Chl-a and POC had higher values on the bottom layer than those vales on the surface, while PON had higher values on the surface than those values on the bottom. The POC/PON ratio and POC/Chl-a ratio were 1.56-7.88 (average: 3.71 on the surface of the water) and 216-967 (average: 700 on the bottom of the water), respectively, with most of the carbon sources being sediment-accumulated particle organic matter, and the contribution by phytoplankton was assessed as being low. These results show that the food source of the blood cockle farms in the northwest area of Yeoja Bay seems to be abundant in quantity, but this is considered to be very poor in quality.

The magnetic interaction between elliptic Janus magnetic particles are investigated using a direct simulation method. Each particle is a one-to-one mixture of paramagnetic and nonmagnetic materials. The fluid is assumed to be incompressible Newtonian and nonmagnetic. A uniform magnetic field is applied externally in a horizontal direction. A finite-element-based fictitious domain method is employed to solve the magnetic particulate flow in the creeping flow regime. In the magnetic problem, the magnetic field in the entire domain, including the particles and the fluid, is obtained by solving the governing equation for the magnetic potential. Then, the magnetic forces acting on the particles are calculated via a Maxwell stress tensor formulation. In a single particle problem, it is found that the orientation angle at equilibrium is affected by the aspect ratio of the particle. As for the two-particle interaction, the dynamics and the final conformation of the particles are significantly influenced by the aspect ratio, the orientation, and the spatial positions of the particles. For the given positions of the particles, the fluid flow is also influenced by the orientation of each particle. The self-assembly structure of the particles is not a fixed one, but it varies with the above-mentioned factors.

고형오구의 분산안정화 작용은 고체 입자의 계면에 흡착한 계면활성제에 의한 전기적 반발력과 입체적 보호작용에 영향을 받게 된다. 특히 현재 시판세제의 조성에서 비이온계 계면활성제의 혼합이 점차 중요시되는 이때 입체적 보호작용에 의한 고형오구의 분산안정성은 의류제품의 세척성 제고에 좋은 정보가 되리라 생각된다. 따라서 본 연구는 시판되고 있는 세제 대부분이 음-비이온계 계면활성제의 혼합으로 되어 있는 점을 고려하여 음이온 계면활성제로서 D5S(sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate), 비이온계 계면활성계 NPE(nonyl phenol polyoxyethylene ether, EO$_{10}$) 혼합용액에서 음이온과 비이온계 계면활성제의 입자에의 흡착과 고형오구의 안정성을 관련시켜 고찰하였다.

130mm D.B. 추진기관의 고온 시험에서 나타난 극심한 이상 연소 현상을 해결하기 위해 미세한 고체 입자들을 연소 가스에 분산시켜 불안정 연소를 억제하는 particulate damping 효과를 연구하였다. 고체 입자로서 효과적인 것으로 알려진 $K_2$$SO_4$. ZrC, Graphite를 CTPB, HTPB 고분자 물질에 충진시켜 epoxide, isocyanate 반응기와 가교 반응을 일으킴으로써 고무상의 탄성체 성질을 갖게 하는 $K_2$$SO_4$/CTPB, ZrC/Graphite/HTPB, ZrC/Graphite/AP/HTPB, ZrC/AP/HTPB 조성의 연소 안정제를 개발하였다. 이 연소 안정제는 외경 17mm, 길이 1000mm의 안정봉 형태로 제작하여 모타의 중심 cavity에 조립한 후 지상 연소 시험을 통하여 성능을 확인하였다. 시험 결과, 조성에 AP를 포함시켜 연소 안정제에 일정한 연소 속도를 부여하여 추진제 grain 연소 동안 고체 입자를 연소 가스에 분산되게 설계한 ZrC/Graphite/AP/HTPB, ZrC/AP/HTPB 조성의 연소 안정제가 불안정 연소 억제에 효과적인 것으로 나타났다.

동북아시아 지역은 전세계에서 대기오염물질의 배출이 가장 많은 지역 중의 하나로서, 최근에는 중국에서 발생한 황사가 태평양을 건너 미국에까지 도달하는 것이 위성으로 관측됨으로써 아시아뿐만 아니라 전세계의 관심이 집중되고 있는 지역이다. 본 연구에서는 동북아시아 지역을 대상으로 기류이동의 변화에 따라 대기오염물질의 분포가 어떻게 달라지는가를 보고자 하였으며, 가스상 반응만 고려한 경우와 입자상 반응을 함께 고려한 경우의 대기오염 물질의 농도를 비교함으로써 입자상 반응의 영향이 어떻게 나타나는가를 살펴보는데 초점을 두었다. (중략)

Carbon soot emission from combustion processes, especially from diesel engines, is a subject of growing concern since soot is known to seriously affect human health. Efforts have been made to oxidize soot particles utilizing Non-Thermal Plasma(NTP) techniques. When oxygen is carried into a plasma device, electrons generated by the plasma dissociate the oxygen, resulting in the formation of oxygen atoms. These highly activated atoms, called O radicals, are known as strong oxidizing agent. This paper presents concentration variations of CO and $CO_2$ at the exit of the plasma device, resulting from the soot oxidation by O radicals, with variations of inlet oxygen concentration, gas temperature, and gas flow rate. Based on the data, Arrehenious rate constants of reactions between C(s)+O and C(s)+O+O were proposed.

석탄화력발전소에서는 다양한 유해물질이 발생한다 먼지, 미세먼지, 유해중금속, 황산화물(SOx), 질산화물(NOx) 등이 그것인데, 이중 황산화물과 질산화물등은 기존 방지장치로 비교적 제어가 용이하다. 반면에, 미세먼지와 유해중금속은 대기중으로 상당량이 배출되어 인체에 심각한 피해를 끼치고 있다. 우리나라 대기환경보전법에서는 대기오염물질을 가스상 물질과 입자상 물질로 구분하고 있다. 이중 입자상물질은 그 입도의 분포가 수십 나노미터에서 수십 마이크론까지 광범위하고 입도에 따른 환경위해성도 다르다. (중략)

Vertical and horizontal distributions of chemical oceanograthic parameters were measured in Jinhae Bay in July, 1983. On the Masan-Gadeog section, high amounts of dissolved nitrates, ammonia, chlorophylla-a, and particulate carbon and nitrogen were observed in waters with low salinity. In the inner Masan Bay, high concentrations of dissolved ammonia and phosphates were shown. The C/N ratio in the surface waters was higer in the outer bay. Concentrations of dissolved inorganic nitrogen and phosphates in the surface waters seemed to be sufficient for red tides to occur.
