This study was carried to investigate the effects of steaming and four different drying methods on the longitudinal liquid permeability of Korean pine (Pinus koraiensis Sieb.et Zucc.) board. Four drying methods were air drying, conventional kiln drying, microwave-vacuum drying and high temperature drying. Darcy equation was used for calculating the specific permeability of the small sapwood specimens taken from the treated boards while capillary rising method was used for the heartwood specimens. The sapwood specimens were extracted with water and benzene-alcohol solution to examine the mechanism of liquid flow in treated wood. No significant correlation was found between specific permeability and the number of resin canals of the sapwood specimens. Extraction decreased the differences of specific permeabilities of the sapwood specimens between the five treatment methods. The effects of extraction on the longitudinal permeability are different between five treatments. The fluid path in heartwood was observed by dynamic observation method.

The simulation of a heat pump dryer has been carried out to figure out the effect of air flow rate on the drying performance represented by MER, SMER, and so on. The simulation includes the analyses of one-stage heat pump cycle and simple drying process using the drying efficiency. The heat pump cycle with Refrigerant 134a has been considered. In the dryer, some of drying air from the drying chamber flows through the heat pump system, the rest of air bypasses the heat pump system. The two air flows joins before the drying chamber inlet. The performance parameters considered in the present study are MER, SMER, the temperature and humidity of drying air. Those parameters are compared for different total air flow rate or bypass air flow rate.

본 연구에서는 하수처리장에서 발생하는 하수슬러지의 부피를 감소시키기 위하여 감압건조법을 이용하여 반응압력, 반응시간, 반응온도에 따른 하수슬러지의 탈수효율을 조사하였다. 반응압력이 낮아질수록 슬러지의 함수율은 감소되는 경향을 보였으며, 동일한 반응압력 및 반응온도에서는 반응시간이 길어질수록 탈수효율이 상승하였고 반응온도에 따라서는 $120^{\circ}C$ 이상에서부터 슬러지의 탈수효과가 뛰어남을 알 수가 있었다. 결과적으로 하수슬러지를 감압건조법으로 처리할시에는 탈수효율이 기존의 탈수 방법보다 우수한 결과를 보임으로서 하수슬러지의 처리시 소요되는 비용을 절감할 수 있을 것으로 판단되며 슬러지뿐만 이아니라 음식물쓰레기 등의 유기성폐기물에도 적용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

An experimental work was conducted to develop an optimum operating system of various hay drying systems ; sun-drying with long hay, sun-drying after chopping, sun-drying after crushing, heated air drying after chopping using batch-type dryer and heated air drying after crushing using tunnel-type dryer. Seombody having 60 cm long and initial moisture content of approximately 79 % in wet basis was used for the experiment. The criteria selected for determining the optimum operating condition were the drying performance rate, the production cost and quality of dried matter of each drying systems. The result of this study are summarized as follows : 1. Drying characteristics of leaves of long stem hay, chopped seombody and crushed one were obtained by maintaining the oven temperature at 70 degrees centigrade. The required drying times for various samples to approximately 15% moisture content in wet basis were about 50 min .for leaves ; 160 min. for crushed hay ; 250 min. for chopped hay ; 340min. for ling hay and more than 360 min .for stems. The drying time of crushed hay was required about 50 % of that for the uncrushed long hay. Such a significant difference of drying of time between the leaf and long stem may indicate that an effective drying of seombody may not be achieved unless any kind of special process treatment for the whole hay is undertaken. 2. In each individual drying system, the following conclusions were drawn: a. After 8 days sun-drying on concrete floor under good days with average tempe?rature at $256{\circ}C$ and relative humidity at 55% at 2 P.M., the moisture content of long hay was still above 25 5'~ and the leaf loss during drying caused by wind and rough handling was more than 50 ~G. b. It was possible to dry the chopped seombody by sun-drying down to about 10 % moisture content within 5 days, however, a stock of heat and discolouration phenomena were observed during the drying, which may be due to the increased deposit-density by chopping, resulting in lowering the quality of the dried product. c. Sun-drying for the crushed material by hay-conditioner was required about 4 days to reduce the moisture content to about 10 %, keeping the quality of dried product at good grade. o. The optimum deposit-depth of the chopped seombody in the batch-type dryer used was about 28cm with about 42kg/hr of drying performance rate. However, it was necessary to overturn the materials between the upper and lower layers in order to obtain a good quality of dried product. d. The drying performance rate by the tunnel-type drier was highest among those of drying systems tested, giving the rate of approximately 400kg/day. 3. On reviewing the individual drying system for seombody, it was possible to draw conclusion that the best system was tunnel drying with the crushed seombody as far as the performance rate was concerned. However, the methods gives the highest operational cost. The system for the lowest operational cost with good quality of dried product was the sun-drying with the crushed material. Accordingly, it may be recommended that the system of sun-drying for the crushed seombody may be the most feasible system presently applicable to farm-level operation.

유중 건조 공정의 기본 원리는 수분과 비열차이가 있는 오일을 가열할 때 온도 차이에 따라 형성되는 슬러지 내부의 급격한 압력 변화를 이용한다. 즉 슬러지 내부에 발생하는 급격한 압력 상승이 이루어질 때 슬러지 공극을 통하여 수분이 빠르게 배출하도록 하는 것이다. 본 연구의 목적은 유중 건조공정 중 다양한 운전 변수가 건조효율에 미치는 영향을 구체적으로 규명하기 위한 것이다. 변수 연구를 위하여 일련의 건조 실험과 수치해석을 시도하였으며 그 결과 건조온도, 건조시간, 폐오일종류, 슬러지 종류 등 중요 실험변수에 따른 건조곡선이 얻어졌다. 건조 온도 변화에 따른 연구 결과는 폐오일의 종류에 관계없이 $140^{\circ}C$ 이상으로 운전하는 것이 건조효율에 유리한 것으로 나타났으며 이 결과는 수치 해석적 결과로도 확인되었다. 그리고 슬러지 직경의 경우 직경이 감소할수록 효율적으로 건조되는 경향으로 보였으며 이는 비표면적의 증가에 기인하는 것으로 판단되었다. 오일 종류나 물성의 변화에 대한 연구에서는 오일의 점도가 가시적인 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 점도가 높은 오일의 경우 건조 초반에 수분 증발이 현저히 지체되는 현상이 나타났다. 그러나 건조온도 $140^{\circ}C$ 이상에서는 이러한 지체 현상이 감소하는 결과를 나타내었다. 슬러지 종류에 따른 연구에서는 전체적으로 큰 차이를 나타내지는 않았으나 하수슬러지가 다른 종류의 슬러지에 비하여 좀 더 가시적으로 양호한 수분제거 양상을 나타내었다. 수치 해석적 연구는 실험적 연구에 대한 상호보완적인 연구로서 가능성을 보였으나 복잡한 세부모델에 대한 경험적인 모델개발의 필요성이 제기되었다.

This study was performed to determine proper fan and heater management schemes for natural air drying of rough rice in round steel bin with stirring device under Korean weather conditions. A computer simulation model was developed to predict moisture content changes, energy requirements, and drymatter losses during drying of rough rice by natural air. Drying test was conducted to validate the simulation model using round steel bin of holding capacity of 300ton at Rice Processing Complex in Jincheon. The bin was filled with rough rice every day and mixing by stirring device. Moisture contents, ambient air temperatures, relative humidities, static pressures in plenum chamber in the bin, airflow rates, and electrical and fuel energy were measured. Relative errors of moisture content changes predicted by the simulation model were below 5ft, and relative errors of final moisture content, final grain weight, required energy ranged from 0.9% to 6%. These not levels indicated that the simulation model can satisfactorily predict the performance factors of natural air drying system such as drying rates and energr consumptions comparing error level of 10% to 15% in other drying simulation models generally used in dryer desists. Twelve different fan and heater management schemes were evaluated using the computer simulation model based on three hourly weather data from Suweon for the period of 1952-1994. The best management schemes were selected comparing the drymatter losses, required drying times, required energy consumptions. Operating fan without heating only when ambient relative humidity was below 85% or 90% appeared to be the most effective method of In operation in favorable drying weather. Under adverse drying climates or to reduce required drying time, operating fan continuously, and heating air with $1.5^{\circ}C$ temperature rise only when ambient relative humidity was over 85% appeared to be the most suitable method.

호박 고지, 고구마 줄기, 토란대, 및 도라지를 citric acid 용액 침지, 아황산염 용액 침지, 또는 황 훈중 등의전처리를 하여 천일 건조하거나 서로 다른 온도(50, 70, 90, $150^{\circ}C$)에서 열풍 건조한 후에, 실온 저장 중에 곰팡이 발생, 건조 상태 및 수화 복원 상태에서의 관능적 품질을 조사하였다. 호박 고지는 수분 함량이 15% 이하, 고구마 줄기는 20% 이하, 토란대는 25% 이하, 도라지는 15% 이하로 건조하여 PE film에 포장하여 실온에 저장했을때 3 개월여 동안 곰팡이가 발생하지 않았다. 전처리. 방법으로는 채소를 건조 전에 아황산염에 침지하거나 황훈중 처리했을 때 곰팡이 발생이 저지되었다. 엽록소를 함유한 채소는 전반적으로 열풍 건조한 경우가 천일건조한 경우에 비하여 현저히 관능적 품질이 우수했으며, 아황산염 용액에 침지하여 oven에 건조할 경우에 다른 처리 제품보다 관능적 품질이 대체적으로 좋았다. 도라지의 경우는 황 훈증이나 아황산 용액 침지가 건조 후의 제품의 품질에 다소 좋은 영향을 보였으나 건조방법은 관능적 품질에 큰 영향을 미치지 않았다. 건조온도는 도라지를 제외하고는 대체척으로 건조 실험에 사용한 온도 중에서 가장 낮은 $50^{\circ}C$에서 가장 좋은 품질의 건조 채소 제품을 얻을 수 있었으며, 모든 품목에 대하여 $105^{\circ}C$에서 건한 제품은 관능적 품질이 매우 떨어졌다. 채소틀 낮은 온도에서 건조할 때 채소의 복원율이 높았으며 복원 후외 관능적 품질도 채소의 건조 온도가 낮을수륵 좋았다.
