A plasma hydrophobic coating on commercial fish feed was conducted to prolong the floating time of feed, thereby enhancing the feed consumption rate and reducing the contamination of water in fish farms. The hydrophobic coating on the fish feed was prepared using an atmospheric-pressure dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma with hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDSO), toluene and n-hexane as the precursors. The effect of the parameters such as input power, precursor type and coating time on the coating performance were examined. The physicochemical properties of the coating layer were analyzed using a Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer and a contact angle (CA) analyzer. The water CA increased after the coating preparation, indicating that the surface changed from hydrophilic to hydrophobic. The FTIR characterization revealed that the hydrophobic layer was comprised of functional groups such as $CH_3$, Si-O-Si and Si-C. As a result of the hydrophobic coating, the floating time of the fish feed increased from several seconds to 3 minutes, which suggested that the plasma coating method could be a viable means for practical applications. Compared to the water CA measured as soon as the coating layer was prepared, the 6-day aged sample exhibited a substantial CA increase, confirming the aging effect on the improvement of the hydrophobicity.

To assess the oil-containment effectiveness of tandem oil fences placed in currents, the movement of oil droplets in the fore and aft region of the fences is investigated by experimental and numerical methods. The effect of the flexibility of the fence skirt of single fence on the fence effectiveness is also investigated. Laboratory experiment is conducted to trace the path of a spherical solid particle of equivalent density to an oil droplet which was released in a uniform stream ahead of a model oil fence. Depending upon the releasing position and the flow condition there, it was observed that the particle floated up to the free surface, collided with the fence, or escaped below the fence. By analyzing the droplet trajectories, a numerical method is developed to predict the region ahead of the fore fence where an oil droplet initiating its motion eventually escapes beneath the fence. The effect of the relative sizes of the drafts of the fore and aft fences, the fence separation, and the bottom depth of the sea bed on the effectiveness of tandem fences is investigated using the numerically obtained trajectories of oil droplets.

가속적인 토양침식은 토지의 환경 및 생태계의 지속성에 부정적 영향을 미치므로, 그 양을 예측하여 토양침식을 방지하는 것은 중요하다. 이에 따라 식생, 지형, 토양의 입도분포 등과 같은 토양침식에 영향을 미치는 인자에 관한 연구가 꾸준히 이뤄지고 있다. 특히 자연 지형에서 보편적으로 나타나는 'cm' 규모의 미세지형이 토양침식에 미치는 영향을 분석한 기존 연구 결과를 살펴보면, 유역 출구 지점에서 관측된 총 유사유출량에만 근거하고 있을 뿐 아니라 토양침식에 미치는 미세지형의 영향에 관한 상반된 결과가 혼재하고 있다. 이는 유역의 토양침식과정에 대한 이해도와 토양침식량에 대한 예측 정확도를 저하시킬 우려가 있으므로 미세지형이 토양침식에 미치는 영향을 유역 전반에 걸쳐 살펴본 후, 명확하게 하는 것이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 동역학파 모형에 기반한 침식 모형을 이용하여 미세지형에서의 강우-유출 및 토사 입자별 침식 및 유출 현상을 수치적으로 모의하였다. 모의 결과에 따르면, 동일한 강우-유출 조건에서도 미세지형의 거칠기에 따라 유역의 토양침식량 및 침식 특성이 달라질 수 있으며, 토양 입경이 미세지형의 거칠기에 따른 유사유출량의 증감 현상을 결정하는 데에 있어 중요한 요소로 작용함을 제시하였다. 미세지형이 거칠어짐에 따라 비교적 굵은 입자인 모래 함량이 높은 지반에서는 토양침식률이 감소하였으나 이와 대조적으로 미세토사 함량이 높은 지반에서는 토양침식률이 증가하였다. 이는 미세지형이 유역 전반에 걸쳐 입경에 따른 토사의 부상, 이류 및 퇴적 특성에 영향을 미쳐, 유역의 유사 분급 및 장갑화 현상에 깊게 관여하였기 때문이다. 본 연구를 통해 토양유실에 미치는 미세지형의 영향에 관한 상반된 연구 결과를 미세지형과 토양 입경분포의 상호작용으로 설명할 수 있다. 따라서, 본 연구는 유역 내 미세지형적 거칠기 입경분포에 대한 정확한 정보에 기반하여 토양의 유실량 및 침식량을 산정해야 함을 강조한다.

Two-phase(air-solid, air-liquid droplet) turbulent round jet has been analyzed numerically using two equation turbulence model. The mean motion of suspending particles in air has been treated as the secondary fluid with virtual density and eddy viscosity. In this paper, the local mean velocity of secondary fluid is not assumed to be the same as that of the primary one. Dissipation rate of turbulent kinetic energy which arises because the particles can not catch up with the turbulent fluctuations of the primary fluid has been modelled by using the concept of Kolmogorov's spectral energy transfer. Numerical computations were performed for flows with different volume fraction of the dispersed phase and the diameter of particle. Results show that the total rate of turbulent energy dissipation, turbulent intensities and spreading rate of jets are reduced by the increase of volume fraction of dispersed phase. However it does not show consistent tendency with increasing the particle diameter. This investigation also shows that presence of particles in the fluid modifies the structure of the primary fluid flow significantly. Predicted velocity profiles and turbulence properties qualitatively agree with available data.

A second-moment closure is applied to the prediction of a homogeneous turbulent shear flow laden with mono-size particles. The closure is curried out based on a 'two-fluid' methodology in which both carrier and dispersed phases are considered in the Eulerian frame. To reduce the number of coupled differential equations to be solved, Reynolds stress transport equations and algebraic stress models are judiciously combined to obtain the Reynolds stress of carrier and dispersed phases in the mean momentum equation. That is, the Reynolds stress components for carrier and dispersed phases are solved by modelled transport equations, but the fluid-particle velocity covariance tensors are treated by the algebraic models. The present predictions for all the components of Reynolds stresses are compared to the DNS data. Reasonable agreements are observed in all the components, and the effects of the coupling of carrier and dispersed phases are properly captured in every aspects.

Heavy metal contaminants in the shooting range are mostly present in a warhead circle or a metal fragment present as a particle, these fine metal particles are weathered for a long period of time is very likely that the surface is present as an oxide or carbon oxide. In particular, lead which is a representative contaminant in the shooting range soil, is present as more fine particles because it increases the softness and is stretched well. Therefore, by physical washing experiment, we conducted a degree analysis, concentration of heavy metals by cubic diameter, composition analysis of metallic substances, and assessment of applicability of gravity, magnetism and floating selection. The experimental results FESEM analysis and the measurement results lead to the micro-balance was confirmed thatthe weight goes outless than the soil ofthe same size in a thinly sliced and side-shaped structure according to the dull characteristics it was confirmed that the high specific gravity applicability. In addition, the remediation efficiency evaluation results using a hydrocyclone applied to this showed a cumulative remediation efficiency of 71%,twice 80%, 3 times 91%. On the other hand, magnetic sifting showed a low efficiency of 17%,floating selection -35mesh (0.5mm)target soil showed a relatively high efficiency to 39% -10mesh (2mm) efficiency was only 16%. The target treatment diameter of soil washing should be 2mm to 0.075mm, which is applied to the actual equipment by adding an additional input classification, which would require management as additional installation costs and processes are constructed. As a result, it is found that the soilremediation of shooting range can be separately according to the size of the warhead. The size is larger than the gravel diameter to most 5.56mm, so it is possible to select a specific gravity using a high gravity. However, the contaminants present in the metal fragments were found to be processed by separating using a hydrocyclone of the soil washing according to the weight is less than the soil of the same particle size in a thinly fragmented structure.

Yuso is the term for decorative tassels of a braided string which hangs a scroll painting. This study, drawing on extant research concerning the yuso made for Joseon period portrait scrolls of kings and meritorious retainers, focuses on the yuso created to hang literati portraits. Concretely, It examines yuso of seven portraits in the collection of the National Museum of Korea in order to characterize their appearance and determine their material composition. The study found that most of the yuso are sixteen-strand strings braided into a rounded cross-section(dongdahoe). The seven yuso, of which six are red and one indigo-blue, reflect the popular style associated with Joseon period literati portraits. The yuso for the portrait of Yun Geup(duksu 3503) is made from gilded paper. Analysis showed Fe particles present in a red pigment underlying the gold layer, suggesting the presence of red ochre(seokganju), an iron oxide mineral. The yuso of the portrait of Shin Im(duksu 4846) is used a paper which contains gold as well as traces of Pb, Hg and Ag. The paper in the yuso for the portrait of Yi Seongwon(bongwan 10122) mainly consisted of Ag, indicating silver paper having been used in its fabrication. The inner paper in the yuso of the portrait of Yi Seogu(sinsu 1065) is a leather combined with Ag, Fe, and Br, according to chemical analysis. The FTIR of the leather sample reveals that the spectrum in the fingerprint region is nearly identical to that of sheepskin, indicating the yuso was made from gold-coated sheepskin.

Dissolved air flotation (DAF) process is generally considered more effective than sedimentation process in raw water containing algae, humus materials, and low density particles. This study presents the treatment efficiencies by the coagulation and flocculation conditions at a drinking water treatment plant using a laboratory tester and the full scale DAF pump system. The full scale DAF pump system (F-DAF) in this study had a capacity of 5,000 $m^3$/d and a hydraulic surface loading of 10 m/hr. F-DAF in D drinking water treatment plant was continuously operated to determine the operational performance and pretreatment (mixing and coagulation) conditions. Results in the laboratory experiment showed that the optimum coagulant (PSO-M) doses required to 2.7~4.5 mL/$m^3$/NTU with raw water turbidity from 13.8 NTU to 56.3 NTU. F-DAF in the optimum coagulant dosage could be operated in effluent turbidity of 1 NTU or below for a month.

Iron oxide nanoparticles were microencapsulated using fibroin, a protein polymer of silk fiber, for theragnostic applications. The content of iron oxide was determined to be 4.28% by thermogravimetric analysis and 5.11% by magnetometer. A suspension of murine fibroblast 3T3 cells grown in medium supplemented with iron oxide-microcapsules turned clear in response to the magnetic force and the cells aggregated to the magnet direction. Neodymium magnets placed on the top of the culture dish, and attracted cells to the center of the culture surface. The cells collected on the culture surface aggregated to form a rough spheroid of 2 mm in a diameter after 72 h. In the outer layer of the cell aggregate, cells were relatively large and gathered together to form a dense tissue, but the central part was observed to undergo cell death due to the mass transfer restriction. In the outer layer, iron oxide-microcapsules were lined up like chains in the direction of magnetic force. Using microCT, it was demonstrated that the iron oxides inside the cell aggregate were not evenly distributed but biased to the magnetic direction.

종래의 산업폐수 처리기술로는 중금속 함유 폐수에 수용성의 금속염을 첨가하여 가성소다 혹은 소석회를 이용하여 pH를 조정하고 고분자 응집제를 첨가하여 금속의 수산화물을 생성시켜 이를 부상 혹은 침전시켜 Sludge화하여 제거하는 방법이 주로 사용되고 있다. 그 외 질소, 인, 유기물이 함유된 폐수의 경우에는 Biological Oxidation Techniques, 활성탄 흡착방식이 주로 채택되고 있다.[1-3] 이러한 폐수처리기술은 화학약품 사용량이 과다하고 이는 Sludge 생성량을 증대하고 2차 폐수처리가 필요로 하는 경우가 많고, 처리장이 면적이 넓어야 하고 대용량의 Sludge 제거창치가 필요하여 고비용의 처리공정으로 문제점을 가지고 있다.[2-3] 이에 본 연구에서는 이러한 기존 기술의 문제점을 보완할 수 있고 기존 기술로는 완벽하게 처리하기 곤란한 악성 폐수들에 대한 새로운 고도처리기술로 초전도 마그네트를 이용한 고구배 자기분리기술에 대한 기초연구를 하였다. 본 연구에서 사용한 고구배 자기분리 시스템은 무헬륨 전도냉각방식으로 자기분리를 위해 사용한 필터는 SUS 430 재질의 메쉬 형태로 제작하여 실험하였다. 또한, 자기분리 처리를 위한 전처리 공정으로는 응집제를 첨가하여 자기분리 효율을 높이고자 하였다. 자기분리 처리대상수로는 포항제철에 압연 강판에 사용되는 냉각수를 대상으로 자기분리 처리에 대한 효과를 실험하였다. 또한, 자기분리에 대한 특성을 평가하기 위해 강자성의 $Fe_3O_4$ 미세자성분말을 첨가하여 처리수내의 들어있는 유기물질에 대해 자기분리 자장 및 유속에 대한 처리효율을 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 자기분리 처리는 1~6 Tesla에서 자기필터는 디스크 형태로 다층으로 연속적으로 적층하였으며, 처리유속은 1~4 l/min으로 하였다. 고농도인 처리폐수를 자가분리 인가 자장에 따라 처리하여 고농도에서는 70%, 저농도에서는 98 %까지 처리되었다. 또한, 자기분리용 필터는 SUS 430 재질의 mesh 망을 사용하였으며 인가자장 및 유속변화에 대한 실험 결과 탁도 및 농도는 필터 크기의 영향은 거의 차이가 없었으며 단지 인가자장 및 유속에 따라서 지수적으로 감소하였다. 자기분리된 용액 내 $Fe_3O_4$ 입도 분석 결과 자기분리 이전에 분포하던 $10\sim20\;{\mu}m$의 입자는 거의 제거되었으며 2 ${\mu}m$ 이하의 입자들은 실험 횟수에 따라 점점 직경이 작은 쪽으로 분포가 좁아졌으며, 마그네타이트의 자화율을 분석한 결과 약 0.8 Tesla에서 포화 되었으며 처리수의 탁도 및 농도가 자장에 따라 감소하는 것으 알 수 있었다.
