Divinycell, which functions as both insulation and a supporting structure, is generally applied in the NO96-type liquefied natural gas (LNG) insulation system. Polymer-material-based Divinycell, which has a high strength and low weight, has been widely used in the offshore, transportation, wind power generation, and civil engineering fields. In particular, this type of material receives attention as an insulation material because its thermal conductivity can be lowered depending on the ambient temperature. However, it is difficult to obtain research results for Divinycell, even though the component materials of the NO96-type LNG cargo containment system, such as 36% nickel steel (invar steel), plywood, perlite, and glass wool, have been extensively studied and reported. In the present study, temperature and strain-rate dependent compressive tests on Divinycell were performed. Both the quantitative experimental data and elastic recovery are discussed. Finally, the mechanical characteristics of Divinycell were compared to the results of polyurethane foam insulation material.

This article reviews the papers published in the Korean Journal of Air-Conditioning and Refrigerating Engineering during 2010. It is intended to understand the status of current research in the areas of heating, cooling, ventilation, sanitation, and indoor environments of buildings and plant facilities. Conclusions are as follows. (1) Research trends of thermal and fluid engineering have been surveyed as groups of general thermal and fluid flow, fluid machinery, and new and renewable energy. Various topics were presented in the field of general thermal and fluid flow. Research issues mainly focused on the thermal reliability of axial fan and compressor in the field of fluid machinery. Studies on the design of ground source heat pump systems and solar chemical reactors were executed in the field of new and renewable energy.

본 논문에서는 4세대 이동통신용 이중접지 내장형 고이득, 광대역 안테나를 설계 및 제작하였다. 최적으로 설계된 안테나는 공기층에 의해 분리되어진 방사패치와 접지면의 유동에 의한 안테나의 파손을 막기 위해서 foam(${\varepsilon}_r{\fallingdotseq}1.03$)으로 고정하였으며, 방사패치는 0.05 [mm] 두께의 도체를 사용하였고, Ground는 FR4 기판을 사용하였다. 최적 설계된 안테나는 그 제작 방법이 간단하여 인쇄회로 기판은 사진 식각법으로 동 테이프는 수작업으로 제작하였다. 제작된 안테나의 입력 반사손실 -10 [dB]이하 (VSWR $$\leq_-$$ 2)를 기준으로 3499 ~ 4743 [MHz]까지 1244[MHz]라는 광대역 특성을 나타내었다. 3400, 3600, 3800, 4000, 4200[MHz]에 대하여 방사패턴을 측정한 결과 무지향성의 특성을 얻을 수 있었으며, E-plane에서 4.7 ~ 6.1 [dBi], H-plane 에서 2.1 ~ 4.3 [dBi]라는 높은 이득 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

We manufactured PVA-derived hydrogels using a foam generation technique that has been widely used to prepare colloidal gas aphrons(CGA). These gels were differentiated to the conventional gels such as for medical or pharmaceutical applications, which have tiny pores and some crystalline structure. Rather these should be used in de-pollution devices or adhesion of cells or biomolecules. The crosslinkers used in this work were amino acid, organic acid, sugars and lipids(vitamins). The structures of the gels were observed in a scanned electron microscope. Amino acids gels showed remarkably higher swelling ratios probably because their typical functional groups help constructing a highly crosslinked network along with hydrogen bonds. Boric acid and starch would catalyze dehydration while structuring to result in much lower water content and accordingly high gel content, leading to less elastic, hard gels. Bulky materials such as ascorbic acid or starch produced, in general, large pores in the matrices and also nicotinamide, having large hydrophobic patches was likely to enlarge pore size of its gels as well since the hydrophobicity would expel water molecules, thus leading to reduced swelling. Hydrophilicity(or hydrophobicity), functional groups which are involved in the reaction or physical linkage, and bulkiness of crosslinkers were found to be more critical to gel's cross linking structure and its density than molecular weights that seemed to be closely related to pore sizes. Microscopic observation revealed that pores were more or less homogeneous and their average sizes were $20{\mu}m$ for methionine, $10-15{\mu}m$ for citric acid, $50-70{\mu}m$ for L-ascorbic acid, $30-40{\mu}m$ for nicotinamide, and $70-80{\mu}m$ for starch. Also a sensory test showed that amino acid and glucose gels were more elastic meanwhile acid and nicotinamide gels turned out to be brittle or non-elastic at their high concentrations. The elasticity of a gel was reasonably correlated with its water content or swelling ratio. In addition, the PVA gel including 20% ascorbic acid showed fair ability of cell adherence as 0.257mg/g-hydrogel and completely degraded phenanthrene(10 mM) in 240 h.

본 연구에서는 북극과 남극에서 기온과 수온이 영하임에도 불구하고 얼음이 없는 광범위한 지역(인공증빙가능역)이 존재하는 것에 주목하여, 이 지역에 인공적으로 해빙을 생성하여 지구 표면의 알베도를 높이는 방식으로 지구온난화를 완화하는 방법을 제안하였다. 대략 $4.09{\times}10^6km^2$의 해빙면적이 추가되면 지구온난화 효과로 가정되는 약 $0.85Wm^{-2}$ 에너지가 상쇄된다고 계산되었다. 또한, 인공적으로 해빙을 생성하기 위한 세 가지 빙판 생성 방법(배로 물 뿌리기, 빙판생성장치 운용, 수면에 GCF부유물질 띄우기)을 제안하였다. 간단한 에너지평형모형 실험에 따르면, 3개월 (9, 10, 11월) 동안 인공증빙가능역에 해빙을 최대로 생성할 경우, 다음해에 대략 $0.11^{\circ}C$의 지구표면온도 하강이 기대되었다. 반면에 모든 계절을 통해 생성할 경우, 오히려 지구 냉각화를 초래할 위험성도 발견되었다.

We analyzed the demand of competent authorities requiring adequate technical information for initial investigation of chemical accidents. Reflecting technical reports on chemical accident response by environmental agencies in the U.S. and Canada, we presented information on environmental diffusion and toxic effects available for the first chemical accident response. Hydrogen fluoride may have the risk potential to corrode metals and cause serious burns and eye damages. In case of inhalation or intake, it could have severe health effects. The substance itself is inflammable, but once heated, it decomposes producing corrosive and toxic fume. In case of contact with water, it can produce toxic, corrosive, flammable or explosive gases and its solution, a strong acid, may react fiercely with a base. In case of hydrogen fluoride leak, the preventive measures are to decrease steam generation in exposed sites, prevent the transfer of vapor cloud and promptly respond using inflammable substances including calcium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, ground limestone, dried soil, dry sand, vermiculite, fly ash and powder cement. The method for fire fighting is to suppress fire with manless hose stanchions or monitor nozzles by wearing the whole body protective clothing equipped with over-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus from distance. In case of transport accident accompanied with fire, evacuation distance is 1,600m radius. In cae of fire, fire suppression needs to be performed using dry chemicals, CO₂, water spray, water fog, and alcohol-resistance foam, etc. The major symptoms by exposure route are dyspnoea, bronchitis, chemical pneumonia and pulmonary edema for respiration, skin laceration, dermatitis, burn, frostbite and erythema for eyes, and nausea, diarrhea, stomachache, and tissue destruction for digestive organs. In atmosphere, its persistency is low, and its bioaccumulation in aquatic organism is also low.
