Flame propagation in a four-valve spark-ignition optical engine was visualized under lean-bum conditions with A/F=18 at 2000rpm. The early flame development in a four-valve pentroof-chamber single-cylinder engine was examined with imaging of the laser-induced Mie scattered light using an image-intensified CCD camera. Flame profiles along the line-of-sight were also visualized through a quartz piston window. Two-dimensional flame structures were visualized with a Proxitronic HF-1 fast motion camera system by Mie scattering from titanium dioxide particles along a planar laser sheet generated by a copper vapor laser. The flame propagation images were subsequently analysed with an image processing programme to obtain information about the flame structure under different tumble flow conditions generated by sleeved and non-sleeved intake ports. This allowed enhancement of the flame images and calculation of the enflamed area, and the displacement of its center, as a function of the tumble flow induced by the pentroof-chamber in the vicinity of spark plug. Image processing of the early flame development quantified the correlation between flame and flow characteristics near the spark plug at the time of ignition which has been known to be one of the most important factors in cyclic combustion variations in lean-burn engines. The results were also compared with direct flame images obtained from the natural flame luminosity of the lean mixture.

Array-based gas sensors now offer the potential of a robust analytical approach to odor measurement for medical use. We are developing a fast reliable method for detection of microbial infection by monitoring the headspace from the infected wound. In this paper, we present initial results obtained from wound-state monitoring for burn patients using an electronic nose incorporating an automated solid-phase microextraction (SPME) desorption system to enable the system to be used for clinical validation. SPME preconcentration is used for sampling of the headspace air and the response of the sensor module to variable concentrations of volatiles emitted from SPME fiber is evaluated. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry studies prove that living bacteria, the typical infectious agents in clinical practice, can be distinguished from each other by means of a limited set of key volatile products. Principal component analysis results give the first indication that infected patients may be distinguished from uninfected patients. Microbial laboratory analysis using clinical samples verifies the performance of the system.

Recently, the world faces the environmental problem such as air pollution due to harmful gas discharged from car and abnormal climate due to the green-house gases increased by the discharge of $CO_2$. Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), one of alternative for this problem, is less harmful, compared to the existing fossil fuel, as gaseous fuel, and less carbon in fuel ingredients and carbon dioxide generation rate relatively favorable more than the existing fuel. However, CNG fuel has the weakness of slow flame propagation speed and difficult fast burn. On the other hand, hydrogen does not include carbon in fuel ingredients, and does not discharge harmful gas such as CO and HC. Moreover, it has strength of quick burning velocity and ignition is possible with small ignition energy source and it's has wide Lean Flammability Limit. If using this hydrogen with CNG fuel, the characteristics of output and discharge gas is improved by the mixer's burning velocity improved, and, at the same time, is possible to have stable lean combustion with the reduction of $CO_2$ expected. Therefore, this research tries to identify the characteristics of engine and emission gas when mixing CNG fuel and hydrogen in each portion and burning them in spark igniting engine, and grasp the lean combustion limit and emission gas characteristics according and use it as the basic data of hydrogen-CNG premixed engine.

천연가스에 수소를 첨가하는 수소-천연가스 혼합연료 (HCNG) 엔진 기술은 수소의 빠른 화염속도와 넓은 가연범위를 이용하여 출력 및 배기성능을 최적화하는 기술로서 희박연소 한계를 증가시킴으로써 열효율의 개선은 물론 유해배출물의 저감을 얻을 수 있다. 그러나 과급장치를 사용하는 희박연소 엔진의 경우 전부하 운전조건에서 희박연소 한계의 증가는 충분한 공기량을 공급할 수 있도록 과급용량의 증가가 선결되어야 구현될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 HCNG 엔진 개발의 일환으로 과급시스템의 변경에 의한 엔진의 출력특성을 파악하고, 과급용량 증대의 적용가능성을 검토하고자 하였다. 터보차저가 과급압력의 증대 보다는 유량이 증가된 영역에서 효율이 높게 설계된 경우 농후한 혼합기 조건에서는 과급압력이 감소되더라도 제원상의 출력을 만족하며 효율적인 운전이 가능하였다.

During the past decades, detection of gear defects remains as a major problem, especially when the gears are subject to non-stationary phenomena. The idea of this paper is to mixture a multilevel wavelet transform with a fast EMD decomposition in order to early detect gear defects. The sensitivity of a kurtosis is used as an indicator of gears defect burn. When the gear is damaged, the appearance of a crack on the gear tooth disrupts the signal. This is due to the presence of periodic pulses. Nevertheless, the existence of background noise induced by the random excitation can have an impact on the values of these temporal indicators. The denoising of these signals by multilevel wavelet transform improves the sensitivity of these indicators and increases the reliability of the investigation. Finally, a defect diagnosis result can be obtained after the fast transformation of the EMD. The proposed approach consists in applying a multi-resolution wavelet analysis with variable decomposition levels related to the severity of gear faults, then a fast EMD is used to early detect faults. The proposed mixed methods are evaluated on vibratory signals from the test bench, CETIM. The obtained results have shown the occurrence of a teeth defect on gear on the 5th and 8th day. This result agrees with the report of the appraisal made on this gear system.

In the framework of the Generation IV research and development project, in which the French Commission of Alternative and Atomic Energies (CEA) is involved, a main objective for the design of Sodium-cooled Fast Reactor (SFR) is to meet the safety goals for severe accidents. Among the severe ones, the Unprotected Transient OverPower (UTOP) accidents can lead very quickly to a global melting of the core. UTOP accidents can be considered either as slow during a Control Rod Withdrawal (CRW) or as fast. The paper focuses on fast UTOP accidents, which occur in a few milliseconds, and three different scenarios are considered: rupture of the core support plate, uncontrolled passage of a gas bubble inside the core and core mechanical distortion such as a core flowering/compaction during an earthquake. Several levels and rates of reactivity insertions are also considered and the thermal-mechanical behavior of an ASTRID fuel pin from the ASTRID CFV core is simulated with the GERMINAL code. Two types of fuel pins are simulated, inner and outer core pins, and three different burn-up are considered. Moreover, the feedback from the CABRI programs on these type of transients is used in order to evaluate the failure mechanism in terms of kinetics of energy injection and fuel melting. The CABRI experiments complete the analysis made with GERMINAL calculations and have shown that three dominant mechanisms can be considered as responsible for pin failure or onset of pin degradation during ULOF/UTOP accident: molten cavity pressure loading, fuel-cladding mechanical interaction (FCMI) and fuel break-up. The study is one of the first step in fast UTOP accidents modelling with GERMINAL and it has shown that the code can already succeed in modelling these type of scenarios up to the sodium boiling point. The modeling of the radial propagation of the melting front, validated by comparison with CABRI tests, is already very efficient.

Using the solenoid driven gas injection valve, Hydrogen fuel supply system was made. It was attached to a single cylinder research engine and intake port injection type hydrogen fueled S.I. engine was constructed. Engine performance, emission characteristics, and abnormal combustion were studied through the engine test performed with the variations of fuel-air equivalence ratio and spark timing. Compared with gasoline, hydrogen burns so fast that cylinder peak pressure and temperature are higher and NO is emitted more at full load condition. IN the case of intake port injection type engine, COVimep becomes lower due to the well-mixing of air and fuel, and engine output is lower owing to the low volumetric efficiency. As fuel-air equivalence ratio goes up, the combustion speed increases, and COVimep decreases. NO emission peaks slightly lean of stoichiometric. As spark timing advances and fuel-air equivalence ratio goes up, the cylinder peak pressure and temperature become higher, so abnormal combustions take place easily.

A mathematical model for the pyrolysis processes during unforced smoldering of cigarette was proposed in this study by analyzing the physical model of the smoldering cigarette (including the establishment of burning front between burning zone and pyrolysis zone, and analyzing the involvement of main factors such as pyrolysis of virgin tobacco, evaporation of water, and internal heat transport in the processes). Thermal conduction of cigarette paper and convective and radiative heat transfer at the outer surface were also considered via the thermal resistance law for the competitive heat transfer mechanisms. The governing partial differential equations were solved using an integral method. Model predictions of smoldering speed, or linear burn rate, as well as temperature and density profiles in the pyrolysis zone for different kinds of cigarettes were found to be close to the experimental data in the literature (Muramatsu, 1981). The model provides a relatively fast and efficient way to simulate the pyrolysis processes and offers a practical tool for exploring important parameters for a smoldering cigarette, such as blended tobacco composition, properties of cigarette paper, and heat flux from the burning zone to the pyrolysis zone.

도심 대기오염을 줄이고자 도입된 CNG 버스는 현재의 배기규제 기준을 만족시켜 도시 대기환경 개선에 많은 기여를 했지만 추가적인 후처리 장치의 도움 없이는 차기 배기기준인 유로6 배기규제를 만족시키기 매우 어렵다. 수소는 매우 활발하고 빠른 반응성을 가지고 있으며 희박가연한계 또한 매우 넓어 기존 연료와 함께 사용 시 개선된 연소 및 배기성능을 기대할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 시내버스용 대형 CNG 엔진에 수소를 일정 부분 CNG와 혼합한 HCNG 연료를 공급하여 희박연소를 시킴으로서 연소 및 배기성능을 개선하는 실험을 수행하였다. 수소혼합비율, 공연비, 점화시기 변화에 따른 연소 및 배기성능을 살펴보고 최적운전조건을 찾아내었으며 산화촉매 성능평가를 통해 11리터 버스용 HCNG 엔진의 상용화 가능성을 검토하였다.

배경: 대복재 정맥의 역류로 인한 대퇴정맥 접합부 부전에 대한 치료로써 정맥내 시술인 고주파 열폐쇄술은 고전적 복재정맥 스트리핑과 비교해 부작용이 적고 우수한 방법이다. 기존의 대복재정맥에 대한 고주파 열폐쇄술의 단점은 시술 시간이 길다는 점이었으나 이를 보완한 2세대 고주파 열폐쇄술($VNUS^{\circledR}Colosure$ fast)은 분절 소작법을 채택하여 시술시간이 짧아지고 치료 방법 또한 더 간편해졌다. 이에 본 연구는 하지정맥류에 대한 2세대 고주파 열폐쇄술($VNUS^{\circledR}Colosure$ fast)을 이용한 치료 결과 및 합병증을 기존의 고주파 열폐쇄술($VNUS^{\circledR}Colosure$ plus)과 비교하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 2006년 6월부터 2009년 8월까지 대퇴 정맥 접합부의 역류가 있는 경우만을 골라 정맥내 고주파 열폐쇄술을 받은 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 기존의 고주파 열폐쇄술($VNUS^{\circledR}Colosure$ plus)를 시행 받은 총 4 명 (59족)의 환자(이후 1세대군)와 2세대 고주파 열폐쇄술($VNUS^{\circledR}Colosure$ fast) 시행 받은 67명 (76족)의 환자(이후 2세대군)를 대상으로 후향적으로 두 집단 사이의 환자의 성비, 평균 시술시간, 치료된 정맥직경, 동반한 치료방법, 시술 후 합병증을 비교하였다. 결과: 모든 환자는 하지정맥류로 인한 증상이 있었고 CEAP class 2 이상으로 초음파상 대퇴정맥접합부의 역류가 있었다. 치료된 대복재 정맥의 평균직경은 1세대군과 2세대군 사이에 양 군간의 통계학적 차이는 없었다($5.59{\pm}0.6mm$ vs.$5.65{\pm}0.6mm$, p=0.68). 평균 치료 시간은 2세대군이 유의하게 낮았다($17.0{\pm}6.5min$ vs. $62.7{\pm}9.8min$, p<0.001). 양 군에서 유의할 만한 합병증은 발생하지 않았다. 결론: 하지정맥류에 대한 치료로서 정맥내 시술인 고주파 열폐쇄술은 안전하며 효과적인 시술이며 2세대 열폐쇄술($VNUS^{\circledR}Colosure$ fast)은 시술시간의 단축과 조작의 용이함으로 의사 및 환자의 만족도가 높은 치료라 할 수 있겠고 향후 더 많은 수의 환자를 대상으로 장기적인 연구가 필요하다고 생각된다.
