The relation between performance maintenance conditions and those cost efficiency was studied to choose an optimum operating condition in the seawater desalination pretreatment system. A hollow fiber microfiltration module, which was developed with domestic technology, was tested with the various operating conditions such as chemically enhanced backwash cycles and design dosages of a cleaning chemical. Transmembrane pressure was measured to investigate membrane fouling status and cleaning degree. In addition, economic analysis was performed to compare water production costs by the operation condition. As a result, The operation mode III, chemically enhanced backwash at once a day with 100 mg/L of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) was selected. The concurrent evaluation between membrane filtration performance and its economic analysis will be suitable to choose an efficient optimum condition.

Iron-coated sand(ICS) was prepared with variation of particle size of Joomoonjin sand, primary and secondary coating temperature, coating time, and dosage of initial Fe(III). An optimum condition of the preparation ICS was selected from the coating efficiency, stability of coated Fe(III), and removal efficiency of As(V). Coated amount of Fe(III) increased as primary coating temperature increased with smaller particle size of sand. Coating efficiency was quite similar over the investigated secondary coating temperature and time, while adsorption efficiency of As(V) onto ICS was severely reduced with ICS prepared at higher secondary coating temperature. By considering these results, an optimum secondary coating temperature and time for the preparation of ICS was selected as $150^{\circ}C$ and 1-hr, respectively. Coating efficiency increased us the dosage of initial Fe(III) up to 0.8 Fe(III) mol/kg sand and then no distinct increase was noted. Maximum As(V) adsorption was observed at 0.8 Fe(III) mol/kg sand. Secondary coating temperature and time were important parameters affecting stability of ICS, showing decreased dissolution of Fe(III) from ICS prepared at higher coating temperature and at longer coating time. From anionic type adsorption of As(V) onto ICS, it is possible to suggest the application of ICS for the removal of As(V) contaminated in acidic water system.

To study the optimum conditions of composing with sewage sludge, the variations of temperature and $CO_2$ generation amount during composting periods were investigated. The conditions were that sewage sludge added to bulking agents such as sawdust and rice hull were used and differently treated with microorganism seeding or not, initial C/N ratio, air flow rate and initial moisture contents. The results were summarized as follows : Seeding of 5% microorganism was higher temperature than not seeding. And using rice hull as bulking agents, and adjusting 21${\sim}$22 of initial C/N ratio, $200ml/l\;{\cdot}\;min$. of air flow rate and 64${\sim}$65% of initial moisture contents were higher temperature than any other conditions. Seeding of 5% microorganism was more $CO_2$ generation amount than not seeding. And using saw dust was more $CO_2$ generation amount than using rice hull as bulking agents. In the case of initial C/N ratio, adjusting 21${\sim}$42 was also more $CO_2$ generation amount than adjusting 12${\sim}$14. Judging from the result, it should be considered that the optimum conditions of composting with sewage sludges were seeding of 5% microorganism and adjusting 21${\sim}$22 of initial C/N ratio, $200ml/l\;{\cdot}\;min$. of air flow rate and 64${\sim}$65% of initial moisture contents.

This paper presents the multi-objective optimal design of thermopile sensor having beam or membrane structure. The thermopile sensor is composed of $Si_{3}N_{4}/SiO_{2}$ dielectric membrane, Al-polysilicon thermocouples and $RuO_{2}$ thin film for black body. The sensing method is based on the Seebeck effect which is originated from the temperature difference of the two positions, black body and silicon rim. The objective functions of the presented design are sensitivity, detectivity and thermal time constant. The modelling of the sensor is proposed including the package. The multi-objective optimization technique is applied to the design of the sensor not only inspecting the modelling equation but also simulating mathematical programming method. Especially, fuzzy optimization technique is adapted to get the optimal solution which enables the designer to reach the more practical solution. The design constraint of the voltage output originated from the change of the environmental temperature is included for practical use.

This paper presents an analytical method for finding the optimum transmission range in mobile ad hoc networks(MANETs). The results are particularly useful for the operation of military networks, as the transmission range affects the traffic throughput of user & routing traffic, delay, and frequency interference. When the conditions of tactical environment are applied in our simulations and the above-mentioned performances are analyzed, we find the OLSR protocol is more excellent. Plus, we compare the results of MANETs performance when applying optimum transmission range and the default transmission range(10km), and analyze the reasonability of the calculation of optimum transmission range proposed by this paper.

In the underwater environment, high resolution can be achieved in the range direction by transmitting and receiving a signal of a particular band and/or waveform. The design of a transmit signal used in the active sonar is very important in order to detect a cylindrical object within a short distance less than 1 km, which is the detection distance of this paper. Designing a transmit signal optimal to a sonar requires appropriate selection of its center frequency and bandwidth, which allows the maximum detection distance of a sonar. In this paper, in terms of maximizing echo excess and signal to noise ratio (SNR), optimum frequency analysis is carried out under various conditions of diverse parameters. In addition, the investigation focused on the determinating a bandwidth is also performed for the purpose of satisfying the performance requirement of range resolution and azimuth resolution.

도시지역에서는 이상강우, 돌발홍수와 더불어 급속한 도시화에 따라 침수 발생의 위험성이 증가하고 있다. 지자체에서는 빗물펌프장, 지하저류조 등을 이용하여 적극적으로 침수대책을 강구하고 있지만, 저지대 침수피해는 계속적으로 발생하고 있다. 2013년 7월 서울 경기북부 강원영서에 발생한 집중호우로 1명이 사망하고 피해액은 94,036백만원이 발생하였다. 춘천시 효자동 저지대지역의 주택침수는 인근 하천의 수위가 높아져 내수배제 및 하수도 처리 능력이 부족하여 침수가 발생하였다. 2014년 8월 경남지역에 발생한 집중호우로 2명 사망하였고, 피해액은 134,158백만원에 이르렀으며, 도시화 토지피복변화로 인한 홍수량이 증가하여 피해가 가중되었다. 이에 따라 도시 내 정확한 도시유출 및 침수해석을 통하여 과거 침수양상을 재현하고 앞으로 발생할 수 있는 침수피해를 방지할 수 있도록 침수 예 경보 시스템을 개발하여 도시침수에 대비하고 도시주민들의 인명과 재산피해를 경감하는데 그 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 도시지역의 관망해석에 적합한 모형을 선택하여야 하며, 그 모형의 매개변수를 결정하여야 한다. 도시유출해석 및 관망해석을 위하여 SWMM 모형을 선정해서 유역분할조건, 매개변수에 대한 최적 검정과정을 제시하여, 1D-2D 연계모형을 통해서 침수지역예측의 정확도를 증대시키고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 서울시 강남역 주변 일대의 5개 배수분구을 대상으로 도시유출해석을 위한 최적화 모의를 위하여 1D-2D모형의 연계해석하였다. 실제 강우사상을 적용하여 매개변수와 소유역 개수를 달리하여 자동최적화기법인 PEST를 이용하여 최적인자를 도출하여, 실제 배수맨홀의 수위관측 자료를 이용하여 비교 보정을 하였다. 도시유출해석뿐만 아니라 내수침수시의 최적인자 도출을 위해 2차원 범람해석을 통하여 NDMS 자료를 이용하여 비교 보정을 한 뒤 다른 강우사상을 이용하여 검증을 하여 도시침수 해석의 정확도를 개선을 위한 최적인자들을 검토하였다.

Industrial mixers to homogeneously blend particulate materials have been developed and widely used in various industries. However, most industrial mixers have at most two-degree-of-freedom for the operation, which limits the range of operation parameter selection for optimal blending. This paper proposes a multi-degree-of-freedom robotic mixer designed by converging a conventional drum blender and a robotic manipulator and evaluated its performance in a virtual operating environment. Discrete element simulations were conducted for mixing performance evaluation. The numerical results showed that the proposed mixer design exhibits a better mixing performance than conventional ones.
