$TiO_2$ has excellent photocatalytic properties and several studies have reported the increase in its specific surface area. The structure of $TiO_2$ nanofibers indicates promising improved photocatalytic properties and these nanofibers can thus potentially be applied in air pollution sensors and pollutant removal filters. In this study, a $TiO_2$ nanofiber was fabricated by the electrospinning method. The fabrication processing factors such as the applied voltage, the distance between nozzle and collector, and the inflow rate of solution were controlled. The precursor was titanium (IV) isopropoxide and as-spun $TiO_2$ nanofibers were heated at $450^{\circ}C$ for 2 h to obtain an anatase crystalline structure. The microstructure was analyzed using field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) and X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD). The anatase phase was observed in the $TiO_2$ nanofibers after heat treatment. The diameter of $TiO_2$ nanofibers increased with the flow rate, but decreased with decreasing applied voltage and nozzle to collector distance. The diameter of $TiO_2$ nanofibers was controlled in the range of 364 nm to 660 nm. These nanofibers are expected to be very useful in photocatalytic applications.

In case of a fire in road or railway tunnel it is always necessary to keep the escape condition as good as possible. Most of the victims of major fires in tunnels are because they couldn't leave the tunnel in time and were trapped by smoke, or rescue teams couldn't reach the place of the accident due to low visibility and high temperature. In spring 2003 a comprehensive field experiment was undertaken in a large scaled tunnel in Youngin City to test the effectiveness of a new water spray curtain system, designed to the air qualify inside of a tunnel in case of fire during passenger's escape to safe routes, In order to control the smoke propagation, fixed water sprayed nozzles were used to make water curtain system, which can be installed or hanging water piping line below ceiling. The experiment was accompanied by an extensive measurement campaign in order to measure temperature dropping effect and flow conditions as well as CO concentration for various water sprayed curtains produced by sprinkler heads or water spray nozzle. Eventually comparison analysis were undertaken to investigate the performance of water curtains under fixed water pressure. Therefore most effective water curtain system was presented on the basis of water droplet size in long tunnel.

Shell-tube heat exchanger is widely applied in industrial field by easily manufacturing as to various size and flow patterns. In this study, by changing baffle's cut direction, tilt angle and rotational angle as well as by using SST (Shear Stress Transport) $k-{\omega}$ turbulence model in ANSYS FLUENT v.14, the heat transfer rate and pressure drop characteristics of inner shell will be analyzed to improve heat transfer ability. As a result of analysis, heat transfer performance according to cut direction of baffle has been improved with vertical model B and angle $45^{\circ}$ model C than horizontal model A. In addition, the tilt $10^{\circ}$ of the baffle and rotational angle $0^{\circ}-90^{\circ}-180^{\circ}-270^{\circ}$ of model D showed better result in heat transfer rate and pressure drop.

The computational fluid dynamics was analyzed for the pressure distribution, stream velocity distribution, stream line field, retention time and temperature distribution which are applied to the catalyst layer in the RCO reactor to derive the optimum operating condition of the heat condensing type catalytic oxidation (RCO) reactor. The results from the computational analysis revealed that the pressure loss due to the ceramic honeycomb in the catalytic bed of the reactor which is operating currently is not significant and the stream velocity (1.8~2.7 m/s) after the ceramic filter is working in stability without big channeling. To improve the stream velocity distribution of the air stream, it is necessary to extension of the connecting range between the plenum and catalytic bed inside the facility. However, the method of attaching the air stream guide vane or the perforated plate inside the reactor was not so effective.

Ceramic Injection Molding (CIM) is one of wide used processes in industry field and the applications are gradually being expanded to parts of medical and electric devices. In this study, the CIM process were analyzed with FEM and process parameters were studied and analyzed the effect on product quality. The shape of simple flat plate was compared to the shapes with the hole, with the round corner portion or with the side wall portion. If there are holes then the hole around the uneven density distribution and the defects such as weld lines could be occurred. The Large radius of the corners of the product give good formability and fluidity. Not only the shape parameters of product but also the process parameters during CIM are studied. The simulation results showed that the process parameters of temperature, initial fractions and velocity are important design parameters to improve the quality of products.

전라북도 장수군 계북면 양악리 토옥동계곡의 초입에 위치한 양악호는 농업용 저수지로 관개수로를 통하여 약 $3.94\;km^2$의 몽리면적에 용수를 공급한다. 양악호는 1985년 건설공사를 시작하여 1991년에 준공되었다. 관개수로를 통해 공급된물은 다양한 경로를 통해 양악천으로 회귀되며, 회귀수량은 양악호로부터 약 8 km 하류에 위치한 양악1교에서 관측된다. 연구 대상지역은 행정구역상 전라북도 장수군, 무주군과 진안군이 경계를 이루며, 유역의 대표적인 거주지로는 당저, 파곡, 외림 그리고 주고마을이 있다. 본 논문에서는 용담댐 상류에 위치한 양악천 유역을 대상으로 관개수로를 통한 유입량, 하류하천에서의 배수량, 양악천 상류 양악호에서의 강수량, 농지에서의 경작현황 및 몽리면적 등 실측자료를 활용하여 농업용수 회귀율을 분석하였다. 농지의 면적은 현장에서의 직접조사 및 위성영상을 활용한 간접조사를 통하여 수혜지역으로부터 '인삼 재배 면적'을 제외하는 방법으로 산출하였다. 관개수로를 통한 용수공급이 없는 시기의 하천유지유량은 용수의 유입이 없는 1월부터 4월초까지의 자료를 분석하여 산정하였다. 하류하천에서의 배수량은 홍수기 전 후로 구분하여 조사하였다. 양악천 유역내 강우자료는 양악호 취수탑 입구에 설치된 우량계를 이용하여 측정하였으며, 원촌교 인근의 계북 우량관측소 자료를 검증용으로 활용하였다. 양악천 유역은 유역외 용수공급을 위하여 양수장을 운영하고 있으며, 생활용수 공급 시스템은 장수군, 무주군과 진안군 등 행정구역별로 각각 다르다. 그러므로 회귀율 산정시 양수장 운영일지 및 마을 일부의 정화조 사용량을 참고하였다. 양악천유역에서는 4월 말부터 9월 말까지 약 5개월간 용수공급이 이루어졌다. 초 여름인 6월 28일 부터 7월 03일까지의 회귀율이 43.66 %로 최저로 나타났으며, 4월 30일부터 5월 16일까지는 67.77 %로 제일 높게 분석되었다. 분석 결과 이 지역은 6월 말에서 7월 초순을 제외한 대부분의 기간에는 약 55 ~ 60 % 사이의 비교적 높은 회귀율을 보였다. 2010년 양악천 유역 전구간의 평균 회귀율은 56 %이며, 무강우시 회귀율 분석결과는 다음과 같다.

Numerical analysis was conducted using Delft3D developed by Deltares in Netherlands to predict long-term river bed changes in Saemangeum Area. Tidal flow, discharge through the drainage gates and river bed changes in numerical model was verified by comparing to the results of field observation and hydraulic experiments. We calculated long-term river bed changes in Saemangeum area for 10 years from 2031 to 2040 after completion of development in Saemangeum. It is shown that 70 cm and 139 cm of accumulation occur in estuaries of Dongjin River and Mankyong River, respectively. Variation of flood level was also investigated considering long-term river bed changes. There was no change in estuary of Dongjin River but maximum flood level in estuary of Mankyong River increased 81 cm.

The Scarites aterrimus (Coleoptera: Carabidae), is one of the carabid beetles dwelling exclusively on coastal sandy dunes. Habitat deterioration and equivalent activity have greatly concerned population declines in several species dwelling on the coastal sandy dunes. As a first step to establish long-term conservation strategy, we investigated the nation-wide magnitude and nature of genetic diversity of the species. As a first step, we sequenced a portion of mitochondrial COI gene, corresponding to "DNA Barcode" region (658 bp) from a total of 24 S. aterrimus individuals collected over nine sandy dunes belonging to four Korean provinces. The sequence analysis evidenced moderate to low magnitude of sequence diversity compared with other insect species distributed in Korean peninsula (0.152% to 0.912%). The presence of closely related haplotypes and relatively high gene flow estimate collectively suggest that there had been no historical barriers that bolster genetic subdivision. Population decline was postulated on the basis of several missing haplotypes that are well found in the species with a large population size. This interpretation is consistent with field observation of small population size in the coastal sandy dune habitats. The highest genetic diversity estimates were found in the coastal sand dune population of Seogwipo, Jeju Island, justifying a prior attention to the population, in order to sustain overall genetic diversity of the species. Further scrutinized study might be required for further robust conclusion.
