A low power (300 mW) catalytic bead combustible gas sensor is developed and utilized with a computer controlled sampling system for measuring heat content of natural gas. The heat content of gas is proportional to the change in the energy required to exposure to the sample of combustible gas. The heat content of natural gas samples ranging 36.30 - 39.88 MJ/$m^3$ is measured in the range of approximately $1\%$ error, which is comparable to its nominal heat content. Each gas has a slightly different curve of sensitivity vs. sensor temperature. Thus there Is no temperature at which all sensitivities are equal. In calibration process the choice of a optimum operating temperature is an important factor that influences the overall performance of the measurement system.

A fast response analyzer for measuring carbon dioxide concentration has been developed for transient characteristic and researches tested on internal combustion engine. The analyzer uses the well known NDIR(Non-Dispersive Infrared) method with miniaturized detection system, giving a time constant of approximately 30 microsecond, and sampling module consists of capillary tube. Since the transit time and the time constant of the sampling system depend on the sampling conditions, it is necessary to investigate the characteristics of sampling system before applied to exhaust gas measurement in engine. A unique method was designed to study the influence of the diameter of transfer sample line and operating conditions of the FRNDIR on transit time and time constant. A database of transit time and time constant was built up for different measured and simulated pressure conditions. The database can be used for correcting eventual $CO_2$ concentration measurement.

A new soot particle generation system has been developed and tested. The soot generation system consists of two sections, a fuel supply and a soot production. In the fuel supply module, either liquid fuel precisely controlled by a syringe pump is mixed with preheated carrier gas and rapidly evaporated or gaseous fuel controlled by a MFC is diluted with dilution gas. The soot production module contains a heater that can raise the gas/fuel temperature up to $1400^{\circ}C$. The physical and chemical properties of produced soot particles depend on the type and concentration of fuel, the residence time, and temperature in the soot production section. The soot generation system will be utilized to produce well-defined soot particles for soot studies such as the evaluation of experimental sampling and analysis processes for the quantitative assessment of PM and BC from ships and the adverse health effects on pulmonary and cardiovascular systems of human body.

Artifacts due to inter-particle and gas-particle interactions during PM2.5 sampling were quantified by comparing the measurement results between the annular denuder-filterpack system and the filterpack system without denuder. Measurements were carried in Seoul for 10 days in each season; Nov. 2004, Jan. 2005, Mar. 2005, and Jul. 2005, respectively. In each day, two 12-h samples were obtained. The concentrations of nitrate and chloride showed seasonal variations mainly due to the availability of ammonium to neutralize nitrate or chloride. Nitrates and chloride losses were prominent in summer. Since most of ammonia was used to neutralize sulfuric acid and formed ammonium sulfate in summer, nitrate and chloride could not exist in particles and ammonium loss was smaller than other seasons.

The improved and advanced Annulus Gas System(AGS) has been developed for Wolsong 2 to satisfy the requirements of the regulatory body. The Atomic Energy Control Board(AECB) required a shorter detection time following a small leak from a pressure tube and/or calandria tube. This paper describes licensing requirements, functional requirements and detail design description for the AGS. The Wolsong unit No. 1 AGS was designed to operate as a stagnant system normally requiring only pressure regulation and having provisions for purging. no improved AGS involves the adoption of gas recirculation in AGS, duplication of dew point indicators with additional instrumentation and sampling provisions to prompt operator action. The improved system operates in the recirculation mode with continuous dew point measurement for leak detection. An AGS with improved detection instrumentation is provided.

This paper introduces modeling and simulation results for pipeline inspection gauge (PIG) with bypass flow control in natural gas pipeline. The dynamic behaviour of the PIG depends on the different pressure across its body and the bypass flow through it. The system dynamics includes: dynamics of driving gas flow behind the PIG, dynamics of expelled gas in front of the PIG, dynamics of bypass flow, and dynamics of the PIG. The bypass flow across the PIG is treated as incompressible flow with the assumption of its Mach number smaller than 0.45. The governing nonlinear hyperbolic partial differential equations for unsteady gas flows are solved by method of characteristics (MOC) with the regular rectangular grid under appropriate initial and boundary conditions. The Runge-Kuta method is used for solving the steady flow equations to get initial flow values and the dynamic equation of the PIG. The sampling time and distance are chosen under Courant-Friedrich-Lewy (CFL) restriction. The simulation is performed with a pipeline segment in the Korea Gas Corporation (KOGAS) low pressure system, Ueijungboo-Sangye line. Simulation results show us that the derived mathematical model and the proposed computational scheme are effective for estimating the position and velocity of the PIG with bypass flow under given operational conditions of pipeline.

In order to investigate the exhaust structure and secondary oxidation of unburned hydrocarbon (HC) in the exhaust port, concentrations of individual HC species were measured in exhaust process, the degree of oxidation were obtained. Using a solenoid-driven fast sampling system on single-cylinder research engine fueled with 94% propane, the profiles of unburned hydrocarbons (HCs) and non-fuel HCs with a propane fueled engine were obtained from several locations in the exhaust port during the exhaust process. The sampled gases were analyzed using a gas chromatography of HC species with 4 or lesser carbon atoms. The change of total HC concentration and HC fractions of major components through the exhaust port were discussed. The results showed that non-uniform distribution of HC concentration existed around the exhaust valve and changed with time, and that the exhaust gas exhibited nearly uniform concentration profile at port exit, which was due to mixing and oxidation. Also it could be known that bulk gas with relatively high HC concentration came out through the bottom of the exhaust valve. To estimate the mass-based degree of HC oxidation in the exhaust port from measured HC concentrations, a 3-zone diagnostic cycle simulation and plug flow modeling were used. The degree of oxidation ranged between 26 % and 36 % corresponding to the engine operation conditions.

더덕(Codonopsis lanceolata)의 휘발성 향기성분을 분석하기 위해 gas co-distillation(GCD), solvent extraction/fractionation(SLF), headspace sampling(HSS) 방법을 사용하여 향기성분을 분리농축하고 분석 비교한 결과 SEF와 HSS 방법으로 얻은 농축물들의 향이 원래의 더덕향과 가장 유사했으며 gas chromatogram들의 양상도 비슷했으나 peak들의 크기에 있어서 차이를 보였다. SEF 농축물에서는 달콤한 향을 기리고 HSS 농축물에서는 풋내를 비교적 강하게 느낄 수 있었으나 GCD 농축물의 경우 일정 증류시간이 지나면 한악취를 느낄 수 있었다. SEF와 HSS 방법은 GCD에 비해서 적은 조작 단계로 손쉽게 빠른 시간내에 분리 농축이 가능했다. 농축한 향기성분은 GC-MS와 극성이 다른 두 column을 사용한 GC-RI system을 이용하여 확인하였다. 특히 GC-RI는 isomer의 확인에 효과적이었으며 극성 FFAP column은 극성 화합물의 확인에 보다 적합했다. 35가지의 향기성분들을 동정하였는데 그중 24개의 성분들은 simultaneous distillation extraction 농축물에서는$^{(5)}$ 확인되지 않았던 향기성분들이다. 화인된 성분들중 trans-2-hexenal, cis-3-hexen-1-ol, trans-2-hexen-1-ol, hexanol은 더덕의 풋내를, 1-octen-3-ol은 신선한 풍미를 그리고 amyl propionate를 비롯한 다수의 에스터 화합물 등은 더덕 특유의 달콤한 향에 복합적으로 작용할 것으로 추정된다.

In sodium systems, leakage is one of the safety concerns; it can cause chemical reactions, which may result in fires. There are contact and non-contact types of leak detectors, and the conventional method of non-contact type detection is by gas sampling. Because of the complexity of this method, there has always been a need for a simple gas sensor, and the resistive-type nanostructure ZnO sensor is a promising option with various advantages. In this study, a ZnO sensor was fabricated, and the concept was tested as a leak detector using a dedicated experiment facility. The experiment results showed distinctive changes in resistance with the presence of sodium aerosol under various conditions. Replacing the conventional gas sampling with the ZnO sensors is expected to enable identification of the leakage location if used as a point-wise instrumentation and to greatly reduce the total cost, making the system simple, light, and effective. For further study, more tests will be performed to evaluate the sensitivity of key parameters under various conditions.
