  • Accidents on offshore oil and gas platforms (OOGPs) usually cause serious fatalities and financial losses considering demanding environment platforms locate and complex topsides structure platforms own. Evacuation planning on platforms is usually challenging. The computational tool is a good choice to plan evacuation by emergency simulation. However, the complex structure of platforms and varied evacuation behaviors usually weaken the advantages of computational simulation. Therefore, this study developed a simulation model for OOGPs to evaluate different evacuation plans to improve evacuation performance by integrating building information modeling (BIM) and agent-based model (ABM). The developed model consists of four parts: evacuation model input, simulation environment modeling, agent definition, and simulation and comparison. Necessary platform information is extracted from BIM and then used to model simulation environment by integrating matrix model and network model. During agent definition, in addition to basic characteristics, environment sensing and dynamic escape path planning functions are also developed to improve simulation performance. An example OOGP BIM topsides with different emergent scenarios is used to illustrate the developed model. The results showed that the developed model can well simulate evacuation on OOGPs and improve evacuation performance. The developed model was also suggested to be applied to other industries such as the architecture, engineering, and construction industry.

  • 오일샌드는 비재래형(unconventional) 석유자원의 하나로서 비투멘(bitumen), 물, 점토, 모래의 혼합물이다. 오일샌드 비투멘은 API 비중이 $8-14^{\circ}$이고 점도가 10,000 cP 이상인, 매우 무겁고 점성이 큰 탄화수소 자원으로서 일반적으로 지표나 천부퇴적층에서 유동성을 갖지 않는다. 오일샌드 비투멘은 주로 캐나다 앨버타주와 사스캐추완주에 분포하고 있으며, 캐나다에만 원시부존량이 1조 7천억 배럴, 확인매장량이 1천 7백억 배럴에 달한다. 대부분은 앨버타주 포트 멕머레이(Fort McMurray) 인근의 아사바스카(Athabasca), 콜드레이크(Cold Lake), 피스리버(Peace River) 지역에 매장되어 있다. 캐나다 오일샌드 저류지층은 아사바스카 지역의 멕머레이층(McMurray Fm)과 클리어워터층(Clearwater Fm), 콜드레이크 지역의 멕머레이층(McMurray Fm), 클리어워터층(Clearwater Fm), 그랜드래피드층(Grand Rapid Fm), 피스리버 지역의 블루스카이층(Bluesky Fm)과 게팅층(Gething Fm)이다. 이들 지층은 하부 백악기 지층으로서 중생대 초-중기에 발생한 북미판과 태평양판의 충돌과 그로 인한 대륙전면분지(foreland basin)의 형성과정에서 퇴적되었다. 분지의 기반암은 복잡한 지형을 갖는 고생대 탄산염암이며, 그 위에 북미대륙 북쪽의 보레알해(Boreal Sea)로부터 현재의 북미대륙 서부를 남북으로 관통하는 전기백악기내해로(Early Cretaceous Interior Seaway)를 따라 해침이 발생하면서 오일샌드 저류지층이 형성되었다. 세 개의 주요 오일샌드 분포지역 가운데 80% 이상의 오일샌드를 매장하고 있는 아사바스카 지역의 저류지층인 멕머레이층과 크리어워터층의 최하부층원인 와비스코 층원(Wabiskaw Mbr)은 전기 백악기 시기의 해침층서를 잘 반영하고 있다. 멕머레이층 하부에는 하성기원의 퇴적층이 발달하고, 상부로 가면서 점차로 조석기원의 천해 퇴적층이 우세해지며, 와비스코 층원에 와서는 의해 세립질 퇴적층이 광역적으로 분포한다. 이러한 해침기원의 상향 세립화 경향은 아사바스카 오일샌드 부존지역에서 일반적으로 관찰된다. 오일샌드 부존지층은 일반적으로 불균질 저류층이며, 주요 저류층은 하성퇴적층이나 에스츄어리(estuary) 기원의 퇴적층에 발달한 하도-포인트 바 복합체(channel-pont bar complex)이다. 이러한 하도-포인트바 복합체는 범람원 및 조수평원 세립질 퇴적층이나 만-충진(bay-fill) 퇴적층과 함께 멕머레이층을 형성한다. 멕머레이층 상부에 오는 와비스코 층원은 주로 외해 세립질 퇴적층으로 이루어져 있으나, 멕머레이층을 대규모로 침식하는 하도사암층이 지역적으로 발달하기도 한다. 캐나다에서 오일샌드는 주로 노천채굴(surface mining)과 심부열회수(in-situ thermal recovery) 방식으로 생산한다. 50 m 미만의 심도에 묻혀있는 오일샌드는 노천채굴 방식으로 회수하여 비투멘 추출(extraction)과 개질(upgrading)과정을 거쳐 합성원유(synthetic crude oil)로 생산된다. 반면에 150-450 m 심도에 묻혀있는 오일샌드는 주로 심부열회수 방식으로 비투멘을 회수하여 비교적 간단한 비투멘 블렌딩(blending)과정을 통해 유동성을 증가시켜 정유시설로 운반한다. 심부열회수 방식으로 오일샌드를 개발할 경우 주로 스팀주입중력법(SAGD: Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage)이나 주기적스팀강화법(CSS: Cyclic Steam Stimulation)이 사용된다. 이러한 방법들은 저류층에 스팀을 주입하여 저류층 내의 온도를 상승시킴으로써 비투멘의 유동성을 증가시켜 회수하는 기술을 사용한다. 따라서 오일샌드 저류층 내부의 스팀전파효율을 결정하는 저류지층의 주요 지질특성에 대한 이해가 선행되어야 효과적인 생산설계와 효율적인 생산을 수행할 수 있다. 오일샌드 생산에 영향을 미치는 저류층의 주요 지질특성에는 (1)비투멘 샌드층의 두께(pay) 및 연결성(connectivity), (2) 비투멘 함량, (3) 저류지역 지질구조, (4) 이질배플(mud baffle)이나 이질프러그(mud plug)의 분포, (5) 비투멘 샌드층에 협재하는 이질퇴적층의 두께 및 수평연장성(lateral continuity), (6) 수포화층(water-saturated sand)의 분포, (7) 가스포화층(gas-saturated sand)의 분포, (8) 포인트바의 성장방향성, (9) 속성층(diagenetic layer)의 분포, (10) 비투멘 샌드층의 조직특성 변화 등이 있다. 이러한 지질특성에 대한 고해상의 분석을 통해 보다 효과적인 오일샌드 개발이 달성될 수 있을 것이다.

  • 식물유의 거의 대부분은 triacylglycerol (TAG) 형태로 종자에 축적되어있으며 이는 종자가 발아할 때에 필수적인 에너지공급원이자 동물과 인간들에게 필수지방산과 중요한 에너지원이다. 최근 식용유의 건강기능성으로 수요증가와 더불어 바이오디젤과 산업원료 등의 산업적 수요도 증가함에 따라 더욱 중요한 자원이 되고 있다. 그래서 생명공학기술로 종자유의 함량을 증진하고자 하면 지질 생합성에 탄소의 유입에 관여하는 조절 유전자를 과발현 또는 억제하는 것이 결정적으로 중요하다. 본 총설에서는 지질함량에 영향을 미치는 것으로 여겨지는 후보 유전자들에 대해 기술하고 이들의 지방 함량 증대 가능성을 조사하였다. 식물의 지방산의 생합성과 종자유의 축적에 관여하는 유전자들은 크게 구분하자면 첫째, TAG가 생합성되기 위해 필요한 전구체를 합성하는 유전자, 둘째, 지방산합성과 TAG 축적에 관여하는 유전자, 셋째, 종자 발달과 종자유 축적에 관여하는 전사인자 유전자가 있다. 종자유 함량을 결정하는 대사들은 앞에서 언급했듯이 매우 복잡하기 때문에 최근에 전사인자의 조절이 다수의 지방생산 대사 유전자를 동시 조작하여 형질전환 식물에서 종자유 함량이 증진하는 것보다 더 바람직한 접근법으로 여겨지고 있다. 그러나 전사조절유전자의 과발현에 의해 나쁜 농업형질의 유도 같은 문제점도 해결해야 한다.

  • Paraffinoma is a destructive complication of paraffin oil injection, usually associated with massive tissue destruction, thus requiring radical surgery and subsequent complex reconstruction. Although breast and penile paraffinomas have been widely described and their management is quite standardized, paraffinomas of the knee are still rare and only few case reports or small case series are available in the current literature. We describe the case of a 77-year-old man with a large paraffinoma of the right knee that occurred after self-injection of paraffin oil, 58 years before. He underwent wide surgical resection of the soft tissues overlying the knee and subsequent two-stage reconstruction by using acellular dermal matrix and, after 20 days, split-thickness skin grafts. Follow-up after 16 months showed no signs of skin ulcerations or inflammation, with an overall improvement in function. Even though conventional flap reconstructions may be still useful, the authors believe that acellular dermal matrices represent a safe, reliable, and less invasive alternative for challenging soft tissue reconstructions even in elderly patients with multiple medical problems.

  • In the hot forging process lubricant influences on frictional condition only, but in the warm forging process it influence on the formability such as dimensional accuracy, filling state and frictional condition and it is important to estimate a lubricating characteristic of lubricants in the warm forging. In this paper, in order to evaluate the formability of billet in warm forging process according to the lubricant and lubricating method, lubricant and lubricating test have been performed using oil-based and water-based lubricant which were widely used in the hot and warm forging processes. The surface roughness of initial billet was measured to evaluate the influence on the formability of billet and the forming load and dimensional accuracy were compared and evaluated. From the experimental results, it can be known that water-based lubricants are more excellent than oil-based lubricants for warm forging of complex shape like a bevel gear. Also, in this study characteristics of deformation have been investigated according to surface treatment of initial billet.

  • A highly dispersed W/O emulsion of silicone oil (cyclomethicone)/water system was prepared with a nonionic surfactant. The surface and interfacial tension between the oil and water were characterized in terms of the droplet size distribution and viscosity change of the emulsion. When the dispersed phase concentration was relatively high, the viscosity of the emulsion was rapidly increased and the droplet size of the emulsion was decreased. The rheological behavior of the emulsion system showed non-Newtonian and shear thinning phenomena depending upon the content of the dispersed phase. The droplet size of the emulsion was decreased with increasing surfactant content and water concentration. The relative viscosity of the emulsion was better predicted with the Choi-Schowalter model than with the Taylor model. The value of the complex modulus increased with increasing surfactant concentration. The linear viscoelastic region was expanded with a dispersed phase concentration. According to the change in the viscosity, the behavior was classified into three distinct regions: [I] linear viscoelastic, [II] partially viscoelastic, and [III] viscous. The creep/recovery behaviors in each region were characterized.

  • 태양에너지의 한 저장방법으로 녹색식물의 광합성을 모방한 계, 마이크로 에멀젼(microemulsion)을 고안하였으며, 이때 광에 의해서 유발된 전자가 계면을 통하는 능력을 측정하였다. 광증감제로 류테니늄비피리딘 착물$[Ru(bipy)_3]^{2+}$을 사용, 전자공여체 EDTA와 함께 물층에, 전자수용체 $HV^{2+}$(Hexadecyl violagan)이 계면에 각각 존재할 때 광에 의한 전자전이에 따르는 $HV^+$ 형성수득률은 0.12이였다. 또 계면에 $BNA^+$(Benzyl nicotinamide)를 넣고 유층에 아조(azo) 화합물을 넣었을 때는 azobenzene이 환원되었는데, 이때 양자수득률이 줄었다. (${\Phi}$ = 0.0016) 양이온 마이크로 에멀젼과 음이온 마이크로에멀젼의 광유발 전자전이 능력을 비교하였다. 광증감제로 유기염료인 로즈벤갈(Rose bengal)을 시험하였는데, 류테니늄착물보다 낮지 않았지만 광유발 전자가 계면에 전이되는 것을 알았다.

  • Annual amount of plastics waste including rubber and leather waste, generated in 1990 was about 2,600,000 tons. Amount of generation of plastics waste has rapidly increased, but fractions of recycling and incineration have gradually decreased. Recently, two-stage incinerator, consisting of gasifier and gas combustor, draws much attention in Korea. Plastics are gasified in the starved air condition in the gasifier and produced gas is fired in the combustor. Combustion of produced gas is much easier than that of solid plastics, and produces a little pollutants. Standardzation of technology and process automation are still needed, but this incineration technology is in the commercial stage. Next topic concerned with this two-stage incineration will be how to treat complex plastics waste including toxic substances generated from automobiles and household appliances. Pyrolysis, realized by indirect heating in inert atmosphere, can provide high-quality products with minimum emissions. Many plastics are easily decomposed into oil in pyrolysis conditions, which can be utilized as chemical feedstocks, or gasoline or kerosene depending on feed materials and operating conditions. This has been demonstrated in several pilot-scale tests performed in Japan, Germany, etc. Easy removal of HCl from PVC is one of the most decisive merits of pyrolysis process. But in general, further efforts should be made for the process to obtain marketability. The future of pyrolysis process depends on public concern about environmental problems and oil prices.

  • Generally, a reduced chemical mechanism of n-heptane is used as chemical fuel of a 3-D diesel engine simulation because diesel fuel consists of hundreds of chemical components and various chemical classes so that it is very complex and large to use for the calculation. However, the importance of fuel in a 3-D simulation increases because detailed fuel characteristics are the key factor in the recent engine research such as homogeneous charged compression ignition engine. In this study, normal paraffin, iso paraffin and aromatics were selected to represent diesel characteristics and n-dodecane was used as a representative normal paraffin to describe the heavy molecular weight of diesel oil (C10~C20). Reduced kinetics of iso-octane and toluene which are representative species of iso paraffin and aromatics respectively were developed in the previous study. Some species were selected based on the sensitivity analysis and a mechanism was developed based on the general oxidation scheme. The ignition delay times, maximum pressure and temperature of the new reduced n-dodecane chemical mechanisms were well matched to the detailed mechanism data.
