In this work, we have performed a corrosion failure analysis of a leaking tube connected to an upper header of a condensate pre-heater in a heat recovery steam generator. It was revealed that the leakage position in the tube was the location where the materials were easily vulnerable due to tensile residual stresses induced by the material manufacturing process and welding process. In addition to an imbalance in the module induced by temperature difference during operation of the pre-heater, the weight of the modules and thermal fatigue provoked a type of stress of tensile-tensile fatigue on the tube. Thus, the leakage position of the pre-heater was exposed to the tensile stress on the inner surface of the tube facing the gas, which rendered the unstable oxide layer susceptible to corrosion and the formation of pits on the water side. The cracks propagated along with the degraded microstructure in a transgranular cracking mode under fatigue loading and finally resulted in water leakage.

Aliphatic hydrocarbon gases from rubber pyrolysis have been identified by gas chromatography with tetraethyleneglycol dimethylether column. Rubbers used in this work are polyisoprene, SBR, NBR, polybutadiene, buthyl rubber, polychloroprene and polyurethane rubber. The chromatogram is characteristic for each polymer. Author proposes a method of identification of synthetic rubbers by gas chromatograph of pyrolyzed gas. Sample is pyrolyzed at $450^{\circ}C$ under nitrogen or more effectively helium and gaseous portion, which eliminated liquid condensate, is passed to the column. The appearance of exclusively large peak of isoprene, isobutylene and carbon dioxide shows the presence of polyisoprene, polyisobutylene and polyurethane, respectively. Large peak of butadiene will appear in case of polybutadiene, SBR and NBR, but SBR can be identified through the styrene peak in gas chromatogram of liquid pyrolyzate and NBR can be identified by the evolution of hydrogen cyanide during pyrolysis. Polychloroprene is identified by the evolution of hydrogen chloride. This method could be applied to the identification of copolymer or polymer blend.

A review is presented for various gas transport mechanisms through microporous membranes of both polymeric and inorganic materials. Different transport modes manifest depending on the pore size and the flow regime, which is a function of pressure, temperature, and the interaction between gas molecules and the pore walls. For microporous membranes whose pores are small and the internal surface area huge, the surface diffusion becomes a significant factor. If the pores become even smaller, then the transport mechanism will be more of an activated diffusion type. When conditions are right capillary condensation will take place to create an enormous capillary pressure gradient, which will greatly enhance the permeation flux. At the same time the capillary condensate of the heavier component may block the membrane pores denying the passage of the lighter gas molecules. All of these phenomena will influence the separation of mixtures.

In the present study, an experiment was conducted to investigate the heat and mass transfer performance of heat exchangers used in the condensing gas boiler. Two types of spiral circular fin-tube heat exchangers and a plain tube were tested in the flue gas of propane and dry air. Heat and mass transfer coefficients were measured and compared with the previous correlations. The experimental data for the sensible heat transfer of the plain tube reasonably agreed with the previous correlations for dry air and flue gas. However, the mass transfer coefficient of the plain tube was greater than the previous correlations. The pH, $NO_x$, and $SO_x$ data of condensate were provided.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of cigarette filter on in vitro cytotoxicity of cigarette mainstream smoke from the cigarette. In this work, we used 3 types of cigarettes included non-filtered 2R4F cigarette, cellulose acetate-filtered 2R4F cigarette, and carbon dual-filtered 2R4F cigarette which was made from original 2R4F by replacing with an acetate filter containing carbon. The cytotoxicity of both the cigarette smoke condensate (CSC), which was collected in Cambridge filter pad, and the gas/vapor phase (GVP), which was bubbled through in phosphate-buffered saline in a gas-washing bottle, was determined using a neutral red uptake assay with CHO-K1 cells. With regard to cytotoxicity when calculated on an equal puff basis, the cytotoxicity of CSC from the filtered cigarettes was lower than that of the non filtered cigarette. Also, $EC_{50}$ vlaue of GVP from carbon filter cigarette was 40.9 puff/L, indicating the cytotoxicity to be $20\%$ lower than that of the CA filter cigarette. The cytotoxicity of the GVP was correlated to the several vapor phase components (formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, acetone, acrolein, crotonaldehyde and MEK). In conclusion, carbon filter, which significantly reduced the amount of carbonyl compounds in mainstream cigarette smoke, results in significant reductions in the cytotoxicity potential of the smoke.

본 연구에서는 국내대륙붕 제 6-1광구 고래 V 구조 (동해-1 가스전)의 B2 저류층에 대한 생산성 분석을 수행하기 위해 상평형 모델과 물질평형식 및 유임유동식에 근거한 사용자 친화적 생산거동분석 모델을 개발하였다. 이 모델에서는 저류층 주변에 대수층이 존재하는 경우에 대해서도 분석이 가능하도록 설계하였다. 또한 콘덴세이트가 생산성에 미치는 효과를 분석하기 위해 저류층에서 생성된 콘덴세이트를 겉보기스킨의 효과로 고려함으로써 저류층 평균압력에 대한 정저압력을 산출하는데 있어서 콘덴세이트에 의한 효과를 묘사하고자 하였다. 상기 모델을 활용하여 다양한 생산시스템에 대해 분석한 결과, B2층을 연간 5500 MMSCF 생산하는 비폐쇄시스템 즉 저류층이 10배 유한대수층과 270$^{\circ}C$ 유입각도로 접해있 다고 가정할 때, B2 저류층은 생산 개시 후 8년 6개월이 결과한 시점에서도 계산된 정저압력이 운영 정저압력 1298 psia보다 높게 산출되어 최대 생산을 유지할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 콘덴세이트는 생산 개시 1100일이 경과한 시점에서부터 생성되기 시작하여 1270일이 지나면 저류층 전체에 콘덴세이트가 존재하는 것으로 나타났다. B2층은 생산이 종료되는 시점까지 많은 양의 물이 유입되는 관계로 저류층의 압력이 충분히 유지되고 콘덴세이트의 생성량이 적어 이에 따라 스킨인자의 증가도 크지 않게 산출되었다.

Inhaled inorganic dusts, such as coal, can cause inflammation and fibrosis in the lungs, known as pneumoconiosis. Diagnosis of pneumoconiosis depends on morphological changes by radiological findings and functional change by pulmonary function test (PFT). Unfortunately, current diagnostic findings are limited only to lung fibrosis, which is usually irreversibly progressive. Therefore, it is important that research on potential and prospective biomarkers for pneumoconiosis should be conducted prior to initiation of irreversible radiological or functional changes in the lungs. Analytical techniques using exhaled breath condensate (EBC) or exhaled gas are non-invasive methods for detection of various respiratory diseases. The objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between inflammatory biomarkers, such as EBC pH or fractional exhaled nitric oxide ($FE_{NO}$), and pneumoconiosis among 120 retired coal miners (41 controls and 79 pneumoconiosis patients). Levels of EBC pH and FENO did not show a statistically significant difference between the pneumoconiosis patient group and pneumoconiosis patients with small opacity classified by International Labor Organization (ILO) classification. The mean concentration of $FE_{NO}$ in the low percentage $FEV_1$ (< 80%) was lower than that in the high percentage (80% $\leq$) (p = 0.023). The mean concentration of $FE_{NO}$ in current smokers was lower than that in non smokers (never or past smokers) (p = 0.027). Although there was no statistical significance, the levels of $FE_{NO}$ in smokers tended to decrease, compared with non smokers, regardless of pneumoconiosis. In conclusion, there was no significant relationship between the level of EBC pH or $FE_{NO}$ and radiological findings or PFT. The effects between exhaled biomarkers and pneumoconiosis progression, such as decreasing PFT and exacerbation of radiological findings, should be monitored.

In a nuclear reactor containment, wall condensation forms with noncondensable gases and their accumulation near the condensate film leads to a significant reduction in heat transfer. In the framework of nuclear reactor safety, the film condensation in the presence of noncondensable gases is of high relevance with regards to safety concerns as it is closely associated with peak pressure predictions for containment integrity and the performance of components installed for containment cooling in accident conditions. In the present study, CUPID code, which has been developed by KAERI for the analysis of transient two-phase flows in nuclear reactor components, is improved for simulating film condensation in the presence of noncondensable gases. In order to evaluate the condensate heat transfer accurately in a large system using the two-fluid model, a mass diffusion model, a liquid film model, and a wall film condensation model were implemented into CUPID. For the condensation simulation, a wall function approach with a heat/mass transfer analogy was applied in order to save computational time without considerable refinement for the boundary layer. This paper presents the implemented wall film condensation model, and then introduces the simulation result using the improved CUPID for a conceptual condensation problem in a large system.

울릉분지의 남쪽에 위치하는 VI-1 광구에서는 돌고래, 고래 구조들에서 총 17개 공이 시추되었다. 탐사 시추공 중에서 대부분의 시추공에서 가스 징후를 보였으며 일부 시추공에서는 가스 및 컨덴세이트가 발견된 바 있다. 특히 고래 5구조에서 발견된 가스와 컨덴세이트는 상업성이 확인되어 생산을 준비하고 있다. 울릉분지의 저류층 구간의 천연가스는 탄화수소 성분을 93% 이상 함유하고 메탄의 함량이 탄화수소의 96% 이하인 습성 가스로 주로 석유나 케로젠의 크랙킹에 의해서 생성된 것으로 해석된다. 고래 1, 돌고래 3, 고래 5, 5-3공의 저류층 가스는 석유생성 단계 후기 내지 습성가스 단계에서 생성되어 이동되었으며, 가스를 생성한 근원암이 서로 다를 가능성을 보인다. 고래 1공과 고래 5공의 저류층 구간의 컨덴세이트에 대한 생물표기화합물 분석결과에 의하면 이들의 근원암에는 육상 기원 유기물이 매우 우세하게 포함된 것으로 나타났으며 호성 기원 유기물의 영향은 미미한 것으로 석유 및 가스의 생성에 영향을 주지는 않았을 것으로 생각된다. 고래 5공에서는 해성 기원 유기물이 일부 포함된 특성을 보여준다. 저류층 가스 분석 견과에서 나타난 바와 같이 고래 1공과 고래 5공 컨덴세이트는 각기 다른 근원암에서 유래했을 가능성을 보인다. 컨덴세이트의 열적 성숙도는 고래 5공의 경우 주 석유생성단계 초기 내지는 중기에 해당하고 고래 1공은 석유생성단계 중기에 해당하는 것으로 나타났다. 시추시료의 생물표기화합물에 의한 열적성숙도 변화경향과 컨덴세이트의 열적성숙도를 비교하여 컨덴세이트의 생성구간을 추정하면 고래 5공에서는 심도 3,000 m 부근으로 생각되며 고래 1 공에서는 3,900 m 구간 부근으로 생각한다. 하지만 고래 5공은 예상 심도까지 시추가 되지 않았으며 고래 1 시추공에서는 공내 붕락이 매우 심하게 일어났기 때문에 시추공 시료에서 탄화수소를 생성한 증거를 포착하기가 매우 어렵다.
