This study focuses on operational analysis of 2 types of intersection shared lanes. First, the analysis showed that a through & right-turn shared lane is always less used than the adjacent through-only lanes and as a result, operational efficiency deteriorates. To improve the efficiency fine-tuning in signal timing optimization using lane-by-lane traffic volume data is required. Further improvement can be achieved by guiding drivers to equally use the shared lane. For left-turn & U-turn shared lanes, it was found that saturation flow rate is affected by interference between U-turn and conflicting right-turn movements. However, since such interference does not occur in every cycle, a statistical model must be established to develop realistic adjustment factor for saturation flow rate of the shared lane.

In order to maximize the effect of left ventricular assist device (LVAD) on ventricular unloading, the therapy should be begun at appropriate level of heart failure severity. We predicted pumping efficacy of LVAD according to the severity of heart failure theoretically. We used 3 dimensional finite element model of ventricle coupled with 6 Wind-kessel compartmental model of vascular system. Using the computational model, we predicted cardiac responses such as contractile ATP consumption of ventricle, left ventricular pressure, cardiac output, ejection fraction, and stroke work according to the severity of ventricular systolic dysfunction under the treatments of continuous LVAD. Contractile ATP consumption, which indicates the ventricular energetic loading condition decreased maximally at the $5^{th}$ level heart-failure under LVAD therapy. We conclude that optimal timing for LVAD treatment is $5^{th}$ level heart-failure when considering LVAD treatment as "bridge to recovery".

The generation of high-purity hydrogen from hydrocarbon fuels is essential for efficient operation of fuel cell. In general, most feasible strategies to generate hydrogen from hydrocarbon fuels consist of a reforming step to generate a mixture of $H_2$, CO, $CO_2$ and $H_2O$(steam) followed by water gas shift(WGS) and CO clean-up steps. The WGS reaction that shifts CO to $CO_2$ and simultaneously produces another mole of $H_2$ was carried out in a two-stage catalytic conversion process involving a high temperature shift(HTS) and a low temperature shift(LTS). In the WGS operation, gas emerges from the reformer is taken through a high temperature shift catalyst to reduce the CO concentration to about $3\sim4%$ followed to about 0.5% via a low temperature shift catalyst. The WGS reactor was designed and tested in this study to produce hydrogen-rich gas with CO to less than 0.5%.

일일 50톤 처리용량의 도시고형폐기물소각설비의 폐열 보일러에서 생산되는 4.0~6.5 bar의 저압증기를 이용하여 전력을 생산하는 축류식 MSTG설비에 있어서 공급증기압력, 입출구의 압력차이에 의한 발전효율을 비교하고, 저압의 증기의 균질화를 위한 기술분리, 정압유지설비 및 증기터빈의 본체의 기수분리된 증기의 응축효율을 증기공급율, 발전효율별로 비교분석하였다. 공급되는 증기의 압력, 증기터빈의 입출구 압력 차이가 높아짐에 따라, 증기의 응축효율이 증가를 하였으며, 배출되는 증기량에 따른 발전효율의 증가는 없었다. 따라서, 가변적으로 변하는 저압의 증기를 기수분리 및 정압을 유지하여도 증기질의 변동이 없으며 그에 따른 증기의 엔탈피 변화가 없으므로 발전 효율의 향상을 기대하기는 어려웠다.
