미국 국방부 소속 육군차량사업부(National A Automotive Center)는 대체에너지를 이용한 군용 차량 개발을 위해 Michigan 주 Rochester Hills에 위치한 E Energy Conversion Devices(ECD) 사와 일부 기술 개발 에 대한 기술 제휴를 한다고 발표했다. 국방부는 태양전 지와 수소를 연료로 사용하는 대체에너지 차량을 개발하 기 위해 ECD에 1단계 연구에 필요한 연구비를 지원했다. 이번 연구에는 연료전지를사용한차량개발을위해 5 500,$\omega$0달러가 투자되는데, Texaco Ovollic Hydrogen S Systems(TOHC)의 고체 휴대용 수소 연료와 채충천 (refueling) 시스탬이 주요 개발 목표로 설정됐다. ECD의 역할은 최근 개발된 Toyota Prius에 시범 적으로 장착된 저압 고체형 수소 저장 시스템의 기술을 군용 차량에 알맞게 전환시키는 것이다. TOHC와 ECD가 개발한 고체형 수소 보관 시스댐은 고압을 요구하는 연료전지 차량의 수소 저 장 시스템이 갖고 있는 많은 문제점들을 해결할 수 있을 것으로 기대되는 연료전지를 이용한 엔진 개발 중 최신 기술이다. 특히 전투 상황에서 차량이 폭발하기 쉬운 수소 저장 탱크를 장착한 채 전 장으로간다는 것은적에게 노출 될 경우자살과마찬가지인 치명적인 피해를 입을수 있다. 이 프로젝트의 개요를 살펴보면, 수소 저장 시스템은 적어도 약 lOkg의 수소를 적은 용적 내에 낮은 압력에서 안전하게 고체 상태로 저장할 수 있다. 이 고체 저장 용기는 하루에 두 번 1.7kg의 수소를 10분 이내에 재급유할 수 있다. 수소는대부분고압가스형태나저온액체 형태로보관된다. 기체나액체 형태의 수소는 연료전 지에 사용되기에는 적합하지 않은 점이 많다. Ovonie 수소 저장 방법은 수소를 저압 고체 형태 ( (metal hydride)로 보관하는 방법으로, 고압 기체나 저온 액체가 갖고 있는 많은 문제점들을 해결 할수있다. 그림을 참조하면 고체 형태의 수소 보관 방법이 다른 보관 방법에 비교해 단위 체적당 최고 6배 많은수소질량을보관할수 있다. 이 고체 형태의 보관방법은수소가적절한합금과평형 압력 이 상의 환경에 놓일 경우 합금에 홉착되는 현상을 이용하고 있다. 수소를 흡수한 합금은 새로운 특성 을 가진 metal hydride로 변하게 된다. 이 과정 에서 열이 부산물로 발생한다. 반대로 수소를 metal hydride로부터 분리시키기 위해서는 합금을 가열해야 한다.

Coastal boundary current flows along the eastern boundary of the Yellow Sea and its speed was about 0.l m/s during the summer 2007. In order to find major factors that affect the coastal boundary current in the eastern Yellow Sea, three-dimensional numerical model experiments were performed. The model simulation results were validated against hydrographic and current meter data in the eastern Yellow Sea. The eastern boundary current flows along the bottom front over the upper part of slopping bottom. Strength and position of the current were affected by tides, winds, local river discharge, and solar radiation. Tidal stirring and surface wind mixing were major factors that control the summertime boundary currents along the bottom front. Tidal stirring was essential to generate the bottom temperature front and boundary current. Wind mixing made the boundary current wider and augmented its north-ward transport. Buoyancy forcing from the freshwater input and solar radiation also affected the boundary current but their contributions were minor. Strong (weak) tidal mixing during spring (neap) tides made the northward transport larger (smaller) in the numerical simulations. But offshore position of the eastern boundary current's major axis was not apparently changed by the spring-neap cycle in the mid-eastern Yellow Sea due to strong summer stratification. The mean position of coastal boundary current varied due to variations in the level of wind mixing.

Two types of fiat-plate collector were designed and constructed for utilizing the solar energy as heating source of red pepper drying. It was performed to investigate the basic factors on using the collectors and the drying effect on various types of red pepper, and the results obtained are summarized as follows. 1. The optimum tilted angles of the collector in Daejeon area were ${\phi}-15^{\circ}$ in summer season and ${\phi}+15^{\circ}$ in winter season when it was adjusted two times per a year: 2. In the conditions during experiment period, average atmospheric temperature and relative humidity were $25.6^{\circ}C$ and 52.6%, respectively, and $42.0^{\circ}C$, 74.2% in the control chamber. The temperature in the drying chamber connected to the water heater was the highest but relative humidity in the chamber connected to the air heater was the lowest among the chambers. 3. The drying velocity of whole red pepper in the chamber connected to the water heater was the fastest as 2.3 times as compared to the whole type on the mat drying followed by air heater and control in decreasing order. The horizontally cut red pepper in the chamber connected to the water heater was dried exceedingly fast among twelve plots. 4. The content of capsaicine as pungent principle and of capsanthine as red pigment in the red pepper were reduced during drying but there were no differences significantly on the drying method, and it could not affect much on the quality of dried product.

A 3-tonf class liquid rocket engine that powers the upper stage of a small launcher and lifts 500 kg payload to 500 km SSO is designed. The small launcher is to utilize the flight-proven technology of the 75-tonf class engine for the first stage. A combination of liquid oxygen and liquid methane has been selected as their cryogenic states can provide an extra boost in specific impulse as well as enable a weight saving via the common dome arrangement. An expander cycle is chosen among others as the low-pressure operation makes it robust and reliable while a specific impulse of over 360 seconds is achievable with the nozzle extension ratio of 120. Key components such as combustion chamber and turbopump are designed for additive manufacturing to a target cost. The engine system provides an evaporated methane for the autogenous pressurization system and the reaction control of the stage. This upper stage propulsion system can be extended to various missions including deep space exploration.

Air-sea heat fluxes in the East Sea were estimated from the various ship's data observed from 1961 to 1990 and the JMA buoy #6 data from 1976 to 1985. The oceanic heat transport in the sea was also determined from the fluxes above and the heat storage rate of the upper layer of 200m from the sea surface. In winter, The incoming solar radiation is almost balanced with the outgoing longwave radiation. but the sea loses her heat through the sea surface mainly due to the latent and sensible heat fluxes. The spatial variation of the net surface heat flux is about 100 Wm/SUP -2/, and the maximum loss of heat is occurred near the Tsugaru Strait. There are also lots of heat losses in the southern part of the East Sea, Korea Strait and Ulleung Basin. Particularly, the heat strong loss in the south-western part of the sea might be concerned with the formation of her Intermediate Homogeneous Water. In summer, the sea is heated up to about 120∼140 Wm/SUP -2/ sue to strong incoming solar radiation and weak turbulent heat fluxes and her spatial variation is only about 20 Wm/SUP -2/. The oceanic heat flux is positive in the southeasten part f the sea and the magnitude of the flux is larger than that of the net surface heat flux. This shows the importance of the area. In the southwestern part of the sea, however, the oceanic heat flux is negative. This fact implies cold water inflow, the North Korean Cold Water. The sigh of net surface heat flux is changed from negative to positive in March and from positive to negative in September. The heat content in the upper surface 200 m from the sea surface reaches its minimum in March and maximum in October. The annual variation of the net surface heat flux is 580 Wm/SUP -2/ in southwestern part of the sea. The annual mean values of net surface heat fluxes are negative, which mean the net heat transfer from the sea to the atmosphere. The magnitude of the flux is about 130 Wm/SUP -2/ near the Tsugaru Strait. The net surface fluxes in the Korea Strait and the Ulleung Basin are relatively larger than those of the rest areas. The spatial mean values of surface heat fluxes from 35$^{\circ}C$ to 39$^{\circ}$N are 129, -90, -58, and -32 Wm/SUP -2/ for the incoming solar radiation, latent hear flux, outgoing longwave radiation, and sensible heat flux, respectively.
