MILD (Moderate and Intense Low Oxygen Dilution) combustion is a technology that uses the recirculation of combustion gas to increase thermal efficiency not only by keeping down the concentration of Nitric Oxides and temperature but also by uniformizing the internal temperature of the combustion furnace. This study is a trial to obtain MILD combustion characteristics by adjusting the equivalence ratio with the air flow rate in the conical combustor while keeping the fuel flow rate and measuring the exhaust gas of the combustion furnace.

The present study has been performed to evaluate the reliability of the fire field model (FDS version 5.2) with yield rate concept of combustion products. The CO and smoke density predicted by FDS model was directly compared with measurement in a reduced scale ISO-9705 room. The GER (global equivalence ratio) concept was used to characterize the CO and smoke density with ventilation condition in the fire compartment. The FDS model tends to under-predict CO concentration and smoke density than those of measurement for the under-ventilated conditions. Also, the discrepancy between predicted and measured result increases as GER increases. In order to improve the reliability of the fire model for performance evaluation of fire safety, the fire model is necessary to be validated in various fire cases as well as develop detailed physical model.

MILD (Moderate and Intense Low Oxygen Dilution) combustion is a technique which is able to reduce NOx formation and to uniform temperature distribution in the furnace by recirculating the exhaust gas to the fresh air and fuel. This study focuses on finding optimal condition of MILD combustor by changing equivalence ratio with fuel and air flow. The present experiment employs six thermocouple sensors in the furnace, and two concentration probes of NOx and CO at the exhaust exit pipe respectively. The MILD combustion phenomena have been observed at the condition of equivalent ratios of 0.71~0.73, and the temperature uniformity, NOx and CO concentration are also examined at the MILD combustion condition.

고장력 강재의 요구특성은 고강도, 고인성, 고내식성 외에 양호한 용접성 등으로 요약될 수 있다. 이러한 특성은 서로 상반된 특성으로서 고강도에 치중하다 보면 인성과 용접성이 저하하는 경향이 나타난다. 특히 고장력 강재를 이용하여 구조물 조립시는 용접공법이 이용되는데 이러한 용접시 열사이클로 인해 고장력 강재의 기계적 특성의 열화현상이 수반되며 이러한 현상은 고강고 강재일수록 현저하게 된다. 따라서 이와 같은 서로 상반된 요구특성을 어떻게 개선하느냐 하는 것이 고장력 강재 개발에 있어 가장 중요한 요건이라 할 수 있다. 이러한 목적을 달성하기 위해 현재로서는 탄소당량을 낮게 유지하고 결정립 미세화를 위한 각종 원소의 첨가처리, 고순도 강재 제조기술 및 각종 조질 열처리 기술이 개발되어 있으며 최근에 이르러 TMCP(thrmo-mechanical controlled process)방법이 개발되어 고장력 강재의 기계적 특성향상에 큰 발전을 가져오게 되었다.

수냉형의 Bo kg/$\textrm{mm}^2$1급 TMCP 고장력 강재를 중심으로, 이 강재 모재의 기계적 특성 및 용접부의 각종 사용특성에 관해 종래의 압연제법에 의한 동일강도레벨의 고장력강판과 비교하여 고찰하고 이 강재의 유효이용에 대하여 설명하였다. TMCP 고장력 강판은 탄소당량이 낮고 결 정립 미세화가 달성되기 때문에 파괴인성이나, 용접부의 내외화, 내용접균열성 면에서 탁월한 특 징을 가지나 용접조립시 용접열사이클로 인한 연화현상 때문에 용접부의 사용특성이 문제로 될 수 있다. 그러나 용접조건이나, 강판의 강도, 화학성분의 배려, 선택에 따라 실용상 별로 문제가 되지 않음이 확인하고 있다. 이와 같은 특징으로 인해 TMCP강은 조선용 소재뿐만 아니고, 북해, 북극해와 같은 한냉빙해역의 가혹한 환경에서 작동되는 해양구조물용이나 라인 파이프용 소재 로서도 그 활용이 확대되어 갈 것으로 생각된다.

In this study, the influence of carbon equivalents on friction welds of similar steels was investigated. Four types of steels with 15mm diameter tested in the wide range of carbon equivalents from 0.3 to 1.1 Main experimental results are summarized as follows : (1) Under the constant burn-off length, the friction time becomes longer with the increasing carbon equivalent, but the upset length shows no consistent tendencies. (2) Due to the recrystallization in the contact area, the maximum hardness occurs some away from the contact surface. And it increases almost linearly with the increasing carbon equivalent. (3) Even a steel with 1.1 C.E. can be friction welded to make defect-free welds. (4) With the increasing carbon equivalent, the bend angle and charpy impact value decrease very rapidly in the range from 0.3 C. E., but remain nearly unchanged for C. E. higher than 0.6. (5) Heat treatment of the base metals before welding has very little influence on the mechanical properties of welds. On the other hand, normalizing of the welds improves the bend angle and charpy impact value, but its effect becomes almost negligible, when the carbon equivalents are higher than 0.6.

The effect of carbon equivalent on the fading behavior of hypoeutectic ductile cast iron was investigated. The carbon content was slightly increased right after graphite spheroidization treatment and remained almost constant with holding at $1,490^{\circ}C$ after 4 minute. The residual magnesium content was decreased slowly with holding. The empirical equation expressing the relationship between this and holding time was proposed ; $C=C_o-P{\times}t$. The proportionality constant, P, was inversely proportional to carbon content.

Numerical investigation was performed to study on the soot formation characteristics in the WSR according to the CO addition. Ethylene and pure air were used as a fuel and an oxidizer, respectively, and three different equivalence ratios (2.0, 2.5, 3.0) were used in the calculation. The resulted CO mole fraction of 10 % CO addition showed the maximum value in spite of the least CO supply. This means that the conversion of CO to soot and other carbon compounds is weakened under incipient soot formation. The soot volume fraction was decreased with increasing the CO addition because the important species for soot formation such as pyrene and acetylene, were decreased with the addition of CO. When the equivalence ratio was 2.5, the soot volume fraction shows the highest value, which results from the contribution of fuel rich condition and reacting temperature. Furthermore, surface growth rate and species concentrations justified the HACA mechanism for soot formation.

As buildings are becoming taller and longer-spanned, the requirements of high-strength and reliable steels are becoming increasingly stringent. Structural steels, however, acquire significantly different mechanical properties when their strength becomes higher. In this study, the mechanical properties, welding characteristics, and conformities of the 600MPa-grade high-strength steel were tested. The 600MPa-grade steel plates exhibited stable criterion strengthvalues and showed low carbon equivalents (${\mathcal{Ceq}}$) and composition (${\mathcal{Pcm}}$) as well as excellent welding hardness. In the tensile strength test, all the specimens were found to have strengths of over 600MPa. In the Sharphy impact test, the impact-absorbed energy of the V-notch specimens was shown to be 47J at the KS limit. Moreover, the maximum hardness of the specimens in the weld-heat-affected zone at a normal temperature was the same as that before welding. Their weld metal properties, however, were found not to be as good as those of high-strength steel. As such, the details of high-strength steel must be determined.

The semiconductor process currently emits various by-products and unused gases. Emissions containing pollutants are generally classified into categories such as organic, acid, alkali, thermal, and cabinet exhaust. They are discharged after treatment in an atmospheric prevention facility suitable for each exhaust type. The main components of organic exhaust are volatile organic compounds (VOC), which is a generic term for oxygen-containing hydrocarbons, sulfur-containing hydrocarbons, and volatile hydrocarbons, while the main components of alkali exhaust include ammonia and tetramethylammonium hydroxide. The purpose of this study was to determine the combustion characteristics and analyze the NO_X reduction rate by maintaining a direct combustion and temperature to process organic and alkaline exhaust gases simultaneously. Acetone, isopropyl alcohol (IPA), and propylene glycol methyl ether acetate (PGMEA) were used as VOCs and ammonia was used as an alkali exhaust material. Independent and VOC-ammonia mixture combustion tests were conducted for each material. The combustion tests for the VOCs confirmed that complete combustion occurred at an equivalence ratio of 1.4. In the ammonia combustion test, the NO_X concentration decreased at a lower equivalence ratio. In the co-combustion of VOC and ammonia, NO was dominant in the NO_X emission while NO₂ was detected at approximately 10 ppm. Overall, the concentration of nitrogen oxide decreased due to the activation of the oxidation reaction as the reaction temperature increased. On the other hand, the concentration of carbon dioxide increased. Flameless combustion with an electric heat source achieved successful combustion of VOC and ammonia. This technology is expected to have advantages in cost and compactness compared to existing organic and alkaline treatment systems applied separately.
