A 30-tonf-class fullscale thrust chamber for the application to a Low-Earth-Orbit Space Launch Vehicle has been combustion tested over the wide ranges of a mixture ratio and a chamber pressure. The thrust chamber designed for a pump-fed open cycle engine was tested with an ablative chamber instead of a regenerative one for the initial evaluation of its performance and function. The test results revealed stable combustion characteristics. The hardware survived the harsh environment and showed very sound functional characteristics. The measured combustion efficiency turned out to be 95% and a specific impulse at sea level was estimated as 254sec, which are comparable to or above the predetermined design values.

The behavior of spray emanating from an injector to be employed in a liquid-propellant thrust chamber is investigated by optical measurement techniques. The injector has eight holes, each of which has 30 cant angle from the center-axis with the diameter of 0.406 mm. In order to examine an atomization process according to the spray-generation conditions and the evolution along spray downstream, variational features in the velocity and size of droplets obtained through Dual-mode Phase Doppler An 799emometry (DPDA) are delineated and discussed together with instantaneous plane images captured by using Nd:Yag laser sheet beam. A categorization of spray-flow regime representing the atomization and turbulent nature is made through evaluating the non-dimensional parameters, i.e., Reynolds number and Weber number based upon the theoretical injection velocity. These qualitative and quantitative data of spray breakup will be a firm basis for the design of brand-new thruster

In the literature, much research has been focused on the relationships between financial policies and corporate valuation, including the effects that internal equity and capital structure have on corporate value, as well as how capital structures, investments and dividends relate to one another. However, comprehensive studies considering three facets of financial policies, namely capital structures, investments, and internal equity altogether, are scant. This study follows 361 companies listed on the Korean Stock Exchange, excluding financial institutions, from 1996 to 2002. Using 3SLS methods, an empirical analysis was conducted of the relationships among capital structures, investments, dividends, and internal equity and the results are summarized. Capital structures were found to be negatively related with investments, while investments were mainly related to dividends. Dividends were positively related with internal equity, simultaneously affecting capital structures. We were not able to find any clear evidence of a direct relationship between internal equity and capital structures; however they seemed to be indirectly related. Thus, there seems to be mutual relationships between financial policies and internal equity.

The ecology of Korean Production Industry has been changing rapidly. Small & medium size independent production companys have been shrinking in market share while big size production companys are taking larger share than before. This study intends to show the dramatic change of the ownership in Korean production industry and the consequencies. When considering positive development of production industry, small & medium size independent production companys should play important roles but the environment of the industry is not easy for them. The implication of this study is that small & medium size independent production companys have to search for survival strategies to adapt environmental change.

Purpose: As corn oil is semi-drying oil, it has more double bonds than non-drying oil and is easier to combine with oxygen. In addition, among the causes of spontaneous ignition, accidents caused by oil-soaked cloths due to oxidative heat are gradually increasing. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to understand the characteristics of spontaneous combustion according to the number of towels and the amount of corn oil at 65℃. Method: After setting the test temperature to 65℃, 25ml, 50ml, 75ml of corn oil per towel was sprayed. The central temperature of the sample rises above the set temperature. It was determined, and when the central temperature of the sample became similar to the set temperature, it was determined as non-igniting. Result: After evenly distributing 25ml of corn oil per towel, as a result of the experiment, 5 towels did not ignite, and 10 and 15 towels ignited. Also, as a result of an experiment using 50ml and 75ml of corn oil per towel, spontaneous ignition occurred when the number of towels was 5, 10, or 15 sheets. Conclusion: Even a small amount can cause a fire if the conditions for spontaneous ignition are met.

This experiment was conducted to utilize the water soluble protein from the fish meal in wastewater as nitrogen source by alkaline protease producting bacteria and to investigate the culture condition of the production. G-12 and G-14 strains having the strong activity of the alkaline pretense were isolated from sea water. These strains were identified as Pseudomonas chlororaphis and Pseudomonas alcaligenes according to physiologycal characteristics, respectively. In enzyme production, galactose and casein for G-12 strain, and raffinose and the water soluble protein of the fish meal wastewater for G-14 strain was favorable as carbon and nitrogen source. An action of inhibition appeared in all of the metal salts used. The optimal temperature of enzyme production was $30^{\circ}C$ for all strains. Optimal initial pH for the enzyme formation in G-12 and G-14 strains was pH 10.0 and 8.0. When these two strains were incubated for $30\~35$ hours in the optimal production medium, the enzyme production reached at maximum.

Downsizing is widely applied to diesel engines in order to improve fuel efficiency and reduce exhaust emissions. Engine sizes are becoming smaller but pressure and temperature inside combustion chambers are increasing. Therefore, research for fuel spray under high pressure and temperature conditions is important. A constant volume chamber which simulates high temperature and pressure likely to be found in diesel engines was developed in this study. Pressure and temperature were increased abruptly because of ignition of the pre-mixture in the constant volume chamber. Then pressure and temperature were gradually decreased due to the heat loss through the chamber wall. Fuel spray occurred when temperature and pressure were reached at the target condition. In this experiment, the temperature condition should be exactly defined to understand the relation between fuel evaporation and ambient temperature. A fast response thermocouple was developed and used to measure the temporal and spatial temperature distribution during the combustion process inside the combustion chamber. In the results, the core temperature was slightly higher than the bulk temperature calculated by the gas equation. Ed-note: do you want to say 'ideal gas equation'? This was attributed to the heat transfer loss through the chamber wall. The vertical temperature deviation was higher than the horizontal temperature deviation by 5% which resulted from the buoyancy effect.

Pavement crack sealing method, which is one of the methods to maintain and repair the road, prevents the extending of cracks by repairing cracks in its early occurrence and has already been applied to many roadworks in advanced foreign country for a long time. But in the conventional crack sealing method, traffic accidents occur frequently during the repair because it's commonly performed on the heavy traffic road or highway. It also has some difficulties in securing the safety of workers from the risk of burns caused by heated sealant. In an effort to solve these problems, automated pavement crack sealing machines such as ARMM, OCCSM, TTLS have been developed in advanced foreign country since early 1990s. Also APCS in 2004 and ACSTM in 2013 were already developed domestically. However, since these automated crack sealers developed from a number of research institutions have different test-bed conditions and productivity measurement models, it's difficult to compare and evaluate them objectively. In this study, the image processing time of the respective machines and the movement time of each motion on the work process were estimated by using fully autonomous mapping and semi-automatic mapping in order to measure the productivity in the same environmental conditions. In addition, the productivity measurement test-bed reflected domestic road characteristics was designed to estimate and compare the productivity of the automated crack sealing machines.

This study was carried out to investigate the flow structure and mixing process of a cross mixing flow formed by two round jets with respect to the ratio of mass flow rate. This flow configuration is of great practical relevance in a variety of combustion systems, and the flow behaviour of a cross jet defends critically on the ratio of mass flow rate and the cross angle. The mass flow rate ratios of two different jets were controlled as 1.0, 0.8, 0.6, and 0.4, and the crossing angle of two round jets was fixed at 45 degree. The velocities issuing from jet nozzle with an exit diameter of 20mm were adjusted to 40m/s, 32m/s, 24m/s, and 16m/s, and the measurements have been conducted in the streamwise range of $1.1X_0$to $2.5X_0$ by an on-line measurement system consisted of a constant temperature type two channel hot-wire anemometry connected to a computer analyzing system. The original air flow was generated by a subsonic wind tunnel with reliable stabilities and uniform flows in the test section. For the analysis of the cross mixing flow structure in the downstream region after the cross point, the mean velocity profiles, the resultant velocity contours, and the three-dimensional profiles depending upon the mass flow rate ratio have been concentrately studied.
