Green chemistry is a new scientific field which focuses on the design, manufacture, and use of chemical processes that could prevent pollution and at the same time improve yield efficiency. The few who have written on the emergence of green chemistry have not shed light on the political and economic motivations of green chemistry. As a new study of the emergence of green chemistry, this paper focuses on the relationship among the triple helix of academia, industry, and government which has been critical in the emergence of green chemistry. This paper argues that academia, industry and government created a common ground during the emergence of green chemistry under the common goal of sustainable development since its creation in 1991. Green chemists produced the knowledge to improve the synthetic efficiency to prevent pollution, and the chemical industry used green chemistry research to increase the economic profitability of production system. This specific form of alliance was supported and maintained amid a changing national environmental policy toward pollution prevention and a self-regulatory framework.

The purpose of this study is to provide a design and operation technical guideline for meeting the appropriate design criteria to bio-gasification facilities treating organic wastes. In accordance with the government's mid-to long-term policies on bio-gasification and energization of organic wastes, the expansion of the waste-to-energy (WTE) facilities is being remarkably promoted. However, because of the limitation of livestock manure containing low-concentration of volatile solids, there has been increased in combined bio-gasification without installing new anaerobic digestion facilities. The characteristics and common problems of each treatment processes were investigated for on-going 13 bio-gasification facilities. The seasonal precision monitoring of chemicophysics analysis on anaerobic digestor samples was conducted to provide guidelines for design and operation according to the progress of bio-gasification treatment. Consequently, major problems were investigated such as large deviation of organic materials depending on seasons, proper dehumidification of biogas and pretreatment of hydrogen sulfide.

This paper introduces the state definition and diagnostic algorithm for autonomic control of manufacturing facilities. Smart factory systems through cyber-physical systems and digital twin technology are increasing the productivity and stability of existing manufacturing plants, which has become an issue recently. A Smart factory system is one of the key technologies that make up a smart factory system, to improve productivity, enable workers to make better decisions, and to control abnormal process flows. However, performing an autonomic control process based on large number of integrated plat data requires significant advance work. Therefore, in this paper, we define an abstracted facility state for manufacturing facility autonomic control and propose an algorithm to diagnose the current state. This makes the autonomic control process simpler by autonomic control based on the facility status rather then integrated facility data.

Since Lean Construction has been introduced as a new management approach to improve productivity in the construction industry, much research is in progress to develop lean concepts and principles for better implementation and to get results of the successful adaptation of lean ideas from manufacturing for application in the construction industry. Currently, Lean Construction Institute developed Last Planner System to achieve better workflow and effective planning management. Domestic construction companies are also getting interested in the Lean Construction. However, there are no detailed guidelines how to implement lean system. Thus, this study will provide a guideline for deployment of last planner system, a prototype lean implementation control checklist, and all project participants roles based on the case studies in USA. This study should provide a framework to apply lean construction to domestic construction sites.

Epidemiological studies showed that high trans-fat consumption is closely associated with getting the risks of cardiovascular disease. The objective of this study was to produce trans-free fat through lipase-catalyzed interesterification, as a substitute for the cream margarine commonly used in industry. Optimum conditions for interesterification in a packed bed enzyme bioreactor (PBEB) were determined using response surface methodology (RSM) based on central composite design. Three kinds of reaction variables were chosen, such as substrate flow rate (0.4-1.2 mL/min), reaction temperature (60-70$^{\circ}C$), and ratio of fully hydrogenated canola oil (FHCO, 35-45%) to evaluate their effects on the degree of interesterification. Optimum conditions from the standpoint of solid fat content (SFC) were found to be as follows: 0.4 mL/min flow rate, 64.7$^{\circ}C$ reaction temperate, and 42.8% (w/w) ratio of FHCO, respectively. The half-life of immobilized lipase in PBEB with two stages at 60$^{\circ}C$ ($1^{st}$ stage) and 55$^{\circ}C$ ($2^{nd}$ stage) was about more than 30 days as estimated by extrapolating the incubation time course of tristearoyl glycerol (TS) conversion, whereas the half-life of the enzyme in PBEB with single stage at 65$^{\circ}C$ was only about 15 days. Finally, the results from SFC analysis suggest that trans-free fat produced in this study seems to be a suitable substitute for the cream margarine commonly used in industry.

Objective of this study was to investigate the effects of all current speed on the microclimates above and inside the plug stand under artificial light. Maximum air temperature appeared near the top of the plug stand. Difference in air temperature inside the plug stand increased with the decreasing air current speed. Difference in relative humidity(DRH) to the relative humidity at the Inlet of the main air flow conditioner Inside and above the plug stand decreased with the increasing air current speed. Relative humidity inside the plug stand was 10-15% higher than that above the plug stand. DRH inside a stand of plug at air current speed of 0.3m s$^{-1}$ was about two times as many as that at air current speed of 0.9 m s$^{-1}$ . DRH inside the plug stand was 2.8-6.5% higher at LAI of 2.6 than that at LAI of 0.5. Gradient for the vapour pressure deficit was distinctly appeared at the low air current speed. Direction of vapour pressure flux is from the medium surface upwards. Difference in vapour pressure(DVPD) to the vapour pressure deficit at the inlet of the main air flow conditioner inside and above the plug stand decreased with the increasing height above the medium surface. DVPD inside the plug stand was 0.3-0.4㎪ higher at air current speed of 0.9m s$^{-1}$ than that at air current speed of 0.3m s$^{-1}$ . Results for the effects of air current speed on the relative humidity and vapour pressure deficit indicated that the microclimates above and inside the plug stand at the rear region in plug trays were slightly unfavorable compared to those at middle region.

고휘도 고효율 백색 LED (lighting emitting diode)가 차세대 조명광원으로 급부상하고 있다. 백색 LED를 생산하기 위한 공정에서 MOCVD (유기금속화학증착)장비를 이용한 에피웨이퍼공정은 에피층과 기판의 격자상수 차이와 열팽창계수차이로 인하여 생성되는 에피결함의 문제로 기판과 GaN 박막층 사이에 완충작용을 해줄 수 있는 버퍼층 (Buffer layer)을 만든다. 그 위에 InGaN/GaN MQW (Multi Quantum Well)공정을 하여 고휘도 고효율 백색 LED를 구현 할 수 있다. 이 공정에서 기판의 온도가 불균일해지면 wafer 파장 균일도가 나빠지므로 백색 LED의 yield가 떨어진다. 균일한 기판 온도를 갖기 위한 조건으로 기판과 induction heater의 간격, 가스의 흐름, 기판의 회전, 유도가열코일의 디자인 등이 장비의 설계 요소이다. 본 연구에서는 유도가열방식의 유도가열히터를 이용하여 기판과 히터의 간격에 차이에 따른 기판 균일도 측정했고, 회전에 의한 기판의 온도분포와 자기장분포의 실험적 결과를 상용화 유체역학 코드인 CFD-ACE+의 모델링 결과와 비교 했다. 또한 가스의 inlet위치에 따른 기판의 온도 균일도를 측정하였다. 본 연구에서 사용된 가열원은 유도가열히터 (Viewtong, VT-180C2)를 사용했고, 가열된 흑연판 표면의 온도를 2차원적으로 평가하기 위하여 적외선 열화상 카메라 (Fluke, Ti-10)를 이용하여 온도를 측정했다. 와전류에 의한 흑연판의 가열 현상을 누출 전계의 분포로 확인하기 위하여 Tektronix사의 A6302 probe와 TM502A amplifier를 사용했다. 흑연판 위에 1 cm2 간격으로 211곳에서 유도 전류를 측정했다. 유도전류는 벡터양이므로 $E{\theta}$를 측정했으며, 이때의 측정 방향은 흑연판의 원주방향이다. 또한 자기장에 의한 유도전류의 분포를 확인하기 위하여 KANETEC사의 TM-501을 이용하여 흑연판 중심으로부터 10 mm 간격으로 자기장을 측정 했다. 저항 가열 히터를 통하여 대류에 의한 온도 균일도를 평가한 결과 gap이 3 mm일때, 평균 온도 $166.5^{\circ}C$에서 불균일도 6.5%를 얻었으며, 회전에 의한 온도 균일도 측정 결과는 2.5 RPM일 때 평균온도 $163^{\circ}C$에서 5.5%의 불균일도를 확인했다. 또한 CFD-ACE+를 이용한 모델링 결과 자기장의 분포는 중심이 높은 분포를 나타냄을 확인했고, 기판의 온도분포는 중심으로부터 55 mm되는 곳에서 300 W/m3로 가장 높은 분포를 나타냈다. 가스 inlet 위치를 흑연판 중심으로 수직, 수평 방향으로 흘려주었을 때의 불균일도는 각각 10.5%, 8.0%로 수평 방향으로 가스를 흘려주었을 때 2.5% 온도 균일도 향상을 확인했다.

In general, castings often have complex shapes and significant variations in thickness within a single product, making grid generation for simulations challenging. Casting flows involve multiphase flows, requiring the tracking of the boundary between air and molten metal. Additionally, considerable time is spent calculating pressure fields due to density differences in a numerical analysis. For these reasons, the Cartesian grid system has traditionally been used in mold filling simulations. However, orthogonal grids fail to represent shapes accurately, leading to a momentum loss caused by the stair-like grid patterns on curved and sloped surfaces. This can alter the flow of molten metals and result in incorrect casting process designs. To address this issue, simulations in the Cartesian grid system involve creating a large number of grids to represent shapes more accurately. Alternatively, the Cut Cell method can be applied to address the problems arising from the Cartesian grid system. In this study, analysis results based on the number of grid in the Cartesian grid system for a casting flow analysis were compared with results obtained using the Cut Cell method. Casting flow simulations of actual products during various casting processes were also conducted, and these results were analyzed with and without applying the Cut Cell method.
