Artificial neural networks (ANNs), for a first time, were successfully developed for the prediction partial molar heat capacity of aqueous solutions at infinite dilution for various polar aromatic compounds over wide range of temperatures (303.55-623.20 K) and pressures (0.1-30.2 MPa). Two three-layered feed forward ANNs with back-propagation of error were generated using three (the heat capacity in T = 303.55 K and P = 0.1 MPa, temperature and pressure) and six parameters (four theoretical descriptors, temperature and pressure) as inputs and its output is partial molar heat capacity at infinite dilution. It was found that properly selected and trained neural networks could fairly represent dependence of the heat capacity on the molecular descriptors, temperature and pressure. Mean percentage deviations (MPD) for prediction set by the models are 4.755 and 4.642, respectively.

IGCC 가스터빈과 공기분리기와의 결합이 중요한데 공기분리기로 공급되는 공기를 가스터빈에서 추출하는 정도와 공기분리기에 남는 질소를 연소기로 공급하는 정도가 중요한 운전 파라미터이다. 이러한 파라미터들이 가스터빈의 성능과 운전성에 미치는 영향은 설계조건인 ISO 조건뿐만 아니라 다양한 외기조건에 대해서도 고려되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 여러 외기조건에서 터빈 블레이드 온도와 생산 가능한 출력의 한계를 만족하도록 하는 질소희석량과 터빈입구온도를 예측하였다. 공기 결합도는 0 으로 두었다. 해석결과 질소공급량이 많을수록 출력은 높아지고 블레이드 온도는 낮아졌다. 상온 근처의 특정 온도 이하의 외기 조건에서는 가스터빈이 낼 수 있는 최대 출력을 얻을 수 있으나 그 이상에서는 최대 출력을 생산하지 못함을 확인하였다.

For precise particle measurements in combustion environments, various dilution sampling methods were compared. Dilution equipments using dilution tunnels and hot/cold dilution with porous tube dilutors were most frequently used so far. The combination of porous tube dilutor and ejector diluter has relatively small footprint, and it results in lower particle losses compared to other methods. To determine the portion of condensable particulate matter, proper temperature control and flow control is required.

The dilution of crankcase oil with unburned portions of the fuel during operating is one source of the oil contaminations which will reduce engine life.It has been learned that major causes of oil dilution may be the result of using impure fuels which were mixed with water, dust, and some others, but very little was known about this. This study was conducted to develop a more intimate understanding about oil dilution of the farm kerosene engine while using impure fuel mixed with expecially diesel. Fuels being used in this study were 9 kinds of mixed fuels, kerosene and diesel. Farm kerosenen engine of 10 P.S. was tested at no-load of 1000 and 2000 rpm., such as 1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, and 11/10 loads for understanding about oil dilution of keresene engine.The result of this study are summarized as follows : 1. The amounts of oil dilution of the engine being tested was increased with increase in the applied loads and the contents of diesel in the mixed fuels when using fuels other than kerosenen and diesel, whereas at $D_100$ fuel the comount of oil dilution decreased in some cases. The lowest value was measured to be 20 cc/hr, at $K_90$ fuel of no-load condition, and the highest value to be 293cc/hr. at $K_{10}$ fuel of 4/4 load condition. 2. When the engine was operated at no-load condition, the amount of oil dilution at 100rpm. was much more than at 2000 rpm. 3. Because the fuel consumption and the oil dilution showed a similar tendency along the applied loads, the excessive fuel consumption of engines was supposed to be one of the important factors affecting oil dilution. 4. The temperature of crankcse oil was varied invesely with oil dilution, but they were not thought to be factors to determine each other variable. 5. The tested engine could be operated with high percentage of diesel mixed fuel from no-load condition to fully loaded condition, but it would be impossible to operate the engine for long hous continuously due to excessive speed fluctuation.

This study was performed to search a optimal analyzing method of cadmium in whole-blood. Cadmium was determined by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry(GFAAS). We investigated the effect of ashing temperature on the absorbance of cadmium in a simple dilution(ten-fold) method with triton X-100 and matrix modifier methods treated with $NH_4H_2PO_4$(1 and 3%) and $Pd(NO_3)_2$(0.00l and 0.005%) as matrix modifier. We also compared the reported reference values of standard blood with values resulted from optimal analyzing conditions of this study. In case of a simple dilution method, when ashing temperature was set at $450^{\circ}C$, the absorbance of sample and background were $0.334{\pm}0.012$ and $1.382{\pm}0.245$, respectively. Background level was higher than the value(0.8) that can be corrected by $D_2$ background correction method. As ashing temperature was rised to $500^{\circ}C$, the absorbance of sample and background were $0.178{\pm}0.008$ and $0.711{\pm}0.223$ respectively. The higher ashing temperature($450^{\circ}C-650^{\circ}C$) was, the lower the absorbance of sample was. In case of a matrix modifier method with $NH_4H_2PO_4$(1 and 3%), when ashing temperature was rised from $500^{\circ}C$ to $650^{\circ}C$, the absorbance of sample slightly changed. The absorbances of sample at $600^{\circ}C$ were $0.230{\pm}0.017$ and $0.137{\pm}0.012$, respectively. These values were larger than that of simple dilution method. But the absorbance of background was higher than the level that can be corrected by $D_2$ method. In case of a matrix modifier method with $Pd(NO_3)_2$(0.001 and 0.005%), the absorbance of sample and background were higher than those of other methods and were stable and reproducible. When ashing temperature was over $550^{\circ}C$, the absorbance of sample was significantly decreased. In case of 0.005% $Pd(NO_3)_2$ carbon residue remained in graphite tube affected the absorbance of sample and background. From these results, We propose that in case of a simple dilution(ten-fold) method with triton X-100 ashing temperature must be maintained below $400^{\circ}C$. In order to diminish the absorbance of background, the alternative method is attenuation of injection volume or multiplication of dilution ratio. We recommend $Pd(NO_3)_2$ than $NH_4H_2PO_4$ as a matrix modifier. In case of a matrix modifier method with $Pd(NO_3)_2$ ashing temperature might be maintained below $550^{\circ}C$.

In this paper, mixing characteristics and dilution of the merging buoyant discharges from array of multiple jets has been extensively studied in the hydraulic model experiments. New equations for dilution, which include the merging effects correctly, were derived. Experiments were constructed in a 20-m long, 4.9-m wide and 0.6-m deep flume, and the model diffuser was manufactured to indicate the typical characteristics of the existing ocean wastewater outfall in South Korea. Buoyant discharge from the diffuser was reproduced using heated water. Water temperature was measured using CC-Type thermocouple sensors, which were connected to a 40-channel data logger. Experimental results show that merging between ports in a particular riser is dependent upon the discharge densimetric Froude number, whereas merging between two ports which are facing each other at 90$\circ$ at the adjacent risers is dependent upon the discharge densimetric Froude number and distance from the port and port spacing. Centerline dilution increase with distance from the port outlet until two plumes has merged. However, after merging occurs, increase of the centerline dilution almost stops. Further distance from the position where merging occurs, centerline dilution increases again.

Present study has been conducted to see the relative effects of adding N: to fuel-side and air-side on flame structure, soot formation and NOx emissions. Experiments were carried out to ascertain to what degree chemical kinetics and/or molecular transport effects can explain the differences in soot formation and NOx emission by studying laminar diffusion flames. Direct photograph was taken to see the flame structure. CARS techniques was used to get the flame temperature profiles. And spatial distribution of soot could be obtained by PLII method. CHEMKIN code was also used to estimate the global residence time to predict NOx emissions at each condition. Results from these studies indicate that fuel-side dilution is more effective than air-side dilution in view of NOx emissions. However, air-side dilution shows greater effectiveness over fuel-side dilution in soot formation. And turbulent mixing and heat transfer problems were thought to be considered in practical applications.

배양환경이 효모 RNA 축적과 autolysis 효율에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 연속배양을 실시하였다. Dilution rate의 증가에 따라 균체내의 RNA 함량은 증가하여 dilution rate=0.35 $h^{-1}$에서 14.8%를 나타내었고, 더불어 RNA productivity와 specific RNA productivity도 증가하였다. 고정된 D=0.2 $h^{-1}$에서 최적 균체량은 배양온도 $30^{\circ}C$ 에서 얻어졌으나, RNA 함량은 배양온도가 낮아질수록 높은 값을 보여 $24^{\circ}C$에서 12.7%로 나타났다. 한편, autolysis 효율 측면에서 균체 생육속도가 증가할수록 효모 extract의 추출율은 감소하였고, 효모 extract의 분해율은 증가하는 경향을 보였으나, 배양온도는 효모 autolysis 효율에 큰 영향을 미치지 않았다.

As a large scale port development in coastal waters proceeds step by step and populations in the vicinity of port are getting increased, the issue on "how to dispose the treated municipal water and wastewater in harbor" brings peoples′ concern. The submarine outfall system discharges the primary or secondary treated effluent at the coastline or in deep water, or between these two. The effluent, which has a density similar to that of fresh water, rises to the sea surface forming plume or jet, together with entraining the surrounding sea water and becomes very dilute. We intended in this paper to investigate the impact on dilution of effluent and the behavior of flume under the conditions of the seasonal and spatial temperature variations, which have not been noticeable in designing effective marine outfall system. To predict and analyze the behaviour and dilution characteristics of plume not just with the effluent temperature, but also with the seasonal variation of temperature of surround water and tidal changes, CORMIX(Cornell Mixing Zone Expert System)-GI have been applied. The results should be used with caution in evaluation the mixing zone characteristics of discharged water. We hope to help for the effective operation of outfall system, probable outfall design, protection of water quality, and warm water discharges from a power plant, etc.

An experimental study on a double-concentric diffusion flame(DDF) has been carried on in order to Investigate the characteristics of soot formation compared to a normal coflow diffusion flame(NDF). Laser extinction technique has been used for an ethylene($C_2H_4$) and air flame with various flow rates. Soot formation In the double-concentric diffusion flame was enhanced by the inner inverse diffusion flame due to the increase in flame temperature and also suppressed due to the nitrogen-dilution from the inner air. Soot concentration at the flame axis of DDF was higher than that of the NDF, mainly because of the increase of temperature by inner flame. However, the maximum soot volume fraction of DDF was lower than NDF at the outer side of the flame, mainly due to the effect of nitrogen-dilution from the inner air.
