상수도 공급을 위한 정수장에서 전염소 또는 중염소 공정이 도입된 수처리 공정의 염소농도 관리에 필요한 공정제어를 위하여 AI 기술을 활용한 수질예측 기법이 연구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 정수장 수처리 공정에서 실시간으로 관측, 생산되고 있는 수량·수질자료를 이용하여 염소소독 공정제어 자동화를 목적으로 침전지 후단의 잔류염소 농도를 예측하기 위한 AI 기반 예측모형을 개발하였다. AI 기반 예측모형은 과거 수질 관측자료를 학습하여 이후 시점의 수질에 대한 예측이 가능한 기법으로, 복잡한 물리·화학·생물학적 수질모형과 달리 간단하고 효율적이다. 다중회귀 모형과 AI 기반 모형인 랜덤포레스트와 LSTM을 이용하여 정수장의 침전지 후단 잔류염소 농도를 예측하여 비교하였다. 최적의 잔류염소 농도 예측을 위한 AI 모형의 입출력 구조로는 침전지 전단의 잔류염소 농도, 침전지 탁도, pH, 수온, 전기전도도, 원수의 유입량, 알칼리도, NH₃ 등을 독립변수로, 예측하고자 하는 침전지 유출수의 잔류염소 농도를 종속변수로 선정하였다. 독립변수는 침전지 후단의 잔류염소에 영향이 있는 정수장에서 확보가 가능한 관측자료중에서 분석을 통해 선별하였으며, 분석 결과 연구대상 정수장인 정수장에서는 중회귀모형, 신경망모형, 모델트리 및 랜덤포레스트 모형을 비교한 결과 랜덤포레스트에 기반한 모형오차가 가장 낮게 도출되는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 제시하는 침전지 후단의 적정 잔류염소 농도 예측값은 이전 처리단계에서 염소주입량의 실시간 제어가 가능토록 할 수 있어 수처리 효율 향상과 약품비 절감에 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.

The traditional feedstock for dimethyl ether (DME) has been natural gas obtained by pipeline from a nearby natural gas or oil field. This report focuses on other feedstock: Coal bed methane (CBM). The resource availability and suitability of CBM for DME manufacturing have been investigated. CBM in a short time has become an important industry, providing an abundant clean-burning fuel and also suggesting as a feedstock for gas industry. The use of CBM will have very little impact on the KOGAS' DME process design and economics up to 50 vol% of $CO_2$ in the CBM source. Many of the CBM sources in Asia are high in $CO_2$, but pose no difficulties for the KOGAS' DME plant. Since tri-reformer requires substantial $CO_2$ in its feed, no $CO_2$ removal from the CBM feed is needed. The $CO_2$ in the CBM means that less $CO_2$ needs to be recycled from the downstream in the process.

Near-wake flow field downstream of a circular cylinder in the wake-transition regime where fine-scale secondary vortices have a spanwise wavelength of around one diameter has been studied by means of phase-averaging from cinematic PIV data. A cross-correlation algorithm in conjunction with the FFT(Fast Fourier Transform)analysis and an offset correlation technique is used for obtaining the velocity vectors. Which the help of very high sampling rate compared to the shedding frequency, it is possible to obtain phase-averaged flow fields although the shedding is not forced but natural. Phase -locked three-dimensional vortical structures are reconstructed form the phase-averaged data in one x-y(cross-sectional) and several z-x(spanwise-streamwise)planes. In this process of phase-averaging in a z-x plane, a technique to freeze the secondary vortices relative to the centerline is applied. The formation process of the secondary vortices is shown by considering spatial relations between the primary Karman and the secondary vortices and their temporal evolutions.

CAD를 이용한 제품의 설계는 전체적인 제품개발공정의 효율성에 있어 핵심적인 역할을 하고 있다. 따라서 설계자가 어떻게 제품을 모델링 하느냐에 따라 모델의 품질이 달라질 수 있으며 이는 이후에 진행되는 하위 공정의 효율성에 지대한 영향을 끼치게 된다. 이에 본 논문에서는 모델의 품질을 향상할 수 있는 모델링 교육 시 강조하여야 할 3가지 개념을 제시하였다. 이러한 개념을 대학에서의 CAD교육에 적용함으로써, 작게는 모델의 변환과정에 소요되는 시간 및 노력을 현저히 감소시키고, 나아가 제품개발공정의 효율성향상과 동시에 궁극적으로, CAD와 CAM같은 서로 다른 도메인간의 통합에 긍정적인 영향을 줄 것으로 기대한다.

Application of gas assisted injection molding has been expanded during last two decades because of many advantages such as design flexibility, dimensional stability, reduction of machine tonnages, and so on. However, the surface defects including hesitation mark and gloss difference are observed for thick parts. Difficulties in lay-out of the gas channel and processing condition are another disadvantages. Liquid gas assisted injection molding(LGAIM), in which a liquid with a boiling point lower than the temperature of the polymer melt is injected into the melt stream, and travels with the melt into the mold where it vaporizes and pushes the melt downstream and against the cavity walls to create hollow channels within the part, is a good alternative of the conventional gas assisted injection molding especially in manufacturing simple and very thick parts. Though this is a new frontier of the innovation in the injection molding industry, there is no guideline for the design and processing conditions. In this paper, theoretical analysis has been made to describe the hollow formation dynamics in LGAIM. This model provides an insight into LGAIM process: explains why LGAIM has advantages over conventional gas assisted injection molding, and gives a guideline for the design and processing conditions.

An experimental study has been carried out to improve the performance of a commercial abrasive blasting nozzle, by simply redesigning the nozzle's inner contour. The analytical 1-D code, that can evaluate both the frictional effects on the nozzle inner wall and the sphericity effects of the particle, is utilized to calculate the dynamics of the particle inside the nozzle. The analytical results are compared to the experimental ones, that were obtained from images of the particle streaklines downstream from the nozzle exit. It is noted that the particle velocity at the redesigned nozzle exit increases as compared to the original commercial nozzle.

There has been a growing interest in the recent time for the development of solar power tower plants, which are mainly used for utility scale power generation. Combined heat and power (CHP) is an efficient and clean approach to generate electric power and useful thermal energy from a single heat source. The waste heat from the topping Brayton cycle is utilized in the bottoming HRSG cycle for driving steam turbine and also to produce process steam so that efficiency of the cycle is increased. A thermal storage system is likely to add greater reliability to such plants, providing power even during non-peak sunshine hours. This paper presents a conceptual configuration of a solar power tower combined heat and power plant with a topping air Brayton cycle. A simple downstream Rankine cycle with a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) and a process heater have been considered for integration with the solar Brayton cycle. The conventional GT combustion chamber is replaced with a solar receiver. The combined cycle has been analyzed using energy as well as exergy methods for a range of pressure ratio across the GT block. From the thermodynamic analysis, it is found that such an integrated system would give a maximum total power (2.37 MW) at a much lower pressure ratio (5) with an overall efficiency exceeding 27%. The solar receiver and heliostats are the main components responsible for exergy destruction. However, exergetic performance of the components is found to improve at higher pressure ratio of the GT block.

Glioma-Associated Oncogene Homolog1 (Gli1) is known to be activated in malignant glioma; however, its downstream pathway has not been fully explained. The aim of this study was to explore the role of Gli1-Aquaporin1 (AQP1) signal pathway in glioma cell survival. Our data suggests that both Gli1 and AQP1 are upregulated in glioma tissues, as in comparison to in normal tissues. These up-regulation phenomena were also observed in glioma U251 and U87 cells. It was demonstrated that Gli1 positively regulated the AQP1 expression. By luciferase reporter gene and ChIP assay, we observed that this modulation process was realized by combination of Gli1 with AQP1 promotor. In addition, knock down of Gli1 by siRNA interference reduced the viability of glioma cells as well as suppressed cell metastasis. Also, the inhibitory effects of cell survival by silenced Gli1 were abrogated by AQP1 overexpression. In summary, glioma cell survival is a regulatory process and can be mediated by Gli1-AQP1 pathway.

Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANET) in the large-scale road section usually have typical characteristics of large number of vehicles and unevenly distribution over geographic spaces. These two inherent characteristics lead to the unsatisfactory performance of VANETs. This poor performance is mainly due to fragile communication link and low dissemination efficiency. We propose a novel routing mechanism to address the issue in the paper, which includes a competition-based routing discovery with priority metrics and a local routing repair strategy. In the routing discovery stage, the algorithm uses adaptive scheme to select a stable route by the priorities of routing metrics, which are the length of each hop, as well as the residual lifetime of each link. Comparisons of different ratios over link length and link stability further show outstanding improvements. In the routing repair process, upstream and downstream nodes also compete for the right to establish repair process and to remain as a member of the active route after repair. Our simulation results confirm the improved performance of the proposed algorithm.
