Two mesophilic trickling bed bioreactors filled with two different types of media, hydrophilic- and hydrophobic-cubes, were designed and tested for hydrogen production via anaerobic fermentation of sucrose. Each reactor consisted of a column packed with polymeric cubes and inoculated with heat-treated sludge obtained from anaerobic digestion tank. A defined medium containing sucrose was fed with changing flow rate into the capped reactor, hydraulic retention time and recycle rate. Hydrogen concentrations in gas-phase were constant, averaging 40% for all conditions tested. Hydrogen production rates increased up to $10.5 L{\cdot};h^{-1}{\cdot}L^{-1}$ of reactor when influent sucrose concentrations and recycle rates were varied. Hydrophobic media provided higher value of hydrogen production rate than hydrophilic media at the same operation conditions. No methane was detected when the reactor was under a normal operation. The major fermentation by-products in the liquid effluent of the both trickling biofilters were acetate and butyrate. The reactor filled with hydrophilic media became clogged with biomass and bio gas, requiring manual cleaning of the system, while no clogging occurred in the reactor with hydrophobic media. In order to make long-term operation of the reactor filled with hydrophilic media feasible, biofilm accumulation inside the media in the reactor with hydrophilic media and biogas produced from the reactor will need to be controlled through some process such as periodical backwashing or gas-purging. These tests using trickling bed biofilter with hydrophobic media demonstrate the feasibility of the process to produce hydrogen gas in a trickle-bed type of reactor. A likely application of this reactor technology could be hydrogen gas recovery from pre-treatment of high carbohydrate-containing wastewaters.

3D CAD 시스템으로 설계된 해양플랜트 배관재 모델들은 2D 배관 제작도와 설치도의 형태로 생산 공정에 제공되고, 기본 엔지니어링 정보와 함께 통합 공정관리시스템에서 원자재의 구매, 조달, 제작, 설치 및 검사가 체계적으로 관리되어 진행된다. 기존의 통합 공정관리시스템은 자원의 흐름 및 진행 상황을 체계적으로 관리하여 공정 시수 절감에 많은 기여를 하고 있지만, 3D 설계 형상 모델 정보를 포함하고 있지 않기 때문에 배관 설치 작업 전에 복잡한 배관 구조를 파악하거나, 잦은 설계 변경으로 인해 연관된 도면을 찾을 때 상호간 신속한 정보 교류가 어려운 단점을 가지고 있었다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 3D 모델을 기반으로 하는 해양플랜트 배관 공정 모니터링 시스템을 개발하였다. 본 시스템은 3D 모델 기반 배관 모니터링 시스템은 Visual Studio 2017 C#과 UNITY3D를 기반으로 배관 공정 작업 정보가 3D CAD 모델과 실시간 연동될 수 있도록 구성하였다. 그리고 블록, 크기, 재료에 따른 배관 설치 공정 진행 흐름 뿐만 아니라, 청소, 수압검사, 공압검사 등 기능 검사 항목별 진행 흐름을 3D 모델상에서 실시간으로 확인할 수 있도록 하였다. 작업자는 개발된 시스템을 통해 생산 현장에서 실시간으로 배관 공정 진행 흐름을 포함한 3D CAD 모델을 쉽게 파악함으로써 작업 효율성 향상에 많은 기여를 할 것으로 기대된다.

공막힘에 의해 지하수 채수량이 감소되고 수질이 저하된 관정을 여러 가지 세척 방법으로 재생시켜 주변 관정의 지하수 산출량과 수질을 개선시킬 수 있으며, 관정의 수명도 연장시킬 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 부산광역시 금정산에 위치하는 2개의 암반관정에 대하여 폭약을 이용한 방법과 공기-브러쉬를 이용하여 막힘 관정을 세척하고 세척효과를 수리시험, 수질 분석 및 지구물리검층(광학영상 촬영과 초음파영상 촬영)에 의해서 확인하였다. 공기-브러쉬 세척 방법에 의해서는 세척 후에 비양수량이 최대 약 273%까지 증가하였으며, 세척 후의 지하수 수질을 보면 $F^-$, $SiO_2$가 증가하고, $Cl^-$, $NO_3^-$, 탁도는 감소하였다. 폭약 방법을 이용한 결과 세척 전보다 후에 비양수량이 최대 약 156% 증가되었으며, 세척 시간이 경과하면서 $F^-$와 $SiO_2$ 농도는 증가하였고, $Cl^-$, $NO_3^-$ 농도와 탁도는 감소하였다.

This article reviews the papers published in the Korean Journal of Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Engineering during 2008. 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 in thermal and fluid engineering have been surveyed in the categories of general fluid flow, fluid machinery and piping, new and renewable energy, and fire. Well-developed CFD technologies were widely applied in developing facilities and their systems. New research topics include fire, fuel cell, and solar energy. Research was mainly focused on flow distribution and optimization in the fields of fluid machinery and piping. Topics related to the development of fans and compressors had been popular, but were no longer investigated widely. Research papers on micro heat exchangers using nanofluids and micro pumps were also not presented during this period. There were some studies on thermal reliability and performance in the fields of new and renewable energy. Numerical simulations of smoke ventilation and the spread of fire were the main topics in the field of fire. (2) Research works on heat transfer presented in 2008 have been reviewed in the categories of heat transfer characteristics, industrial heat exchangers, and ground heat exchangers. Research on heat transfer characteristics included thermal transport in cryogenic vessels, dish solar collectors, radiative thermal reflectors, variable conductance heat pipes, and flow condensation and evaporation of refrigerants. In the area of industrial heat exchangers, examined are research on micro-channel plate heat exchangers, liquid cooled cold plates, fin-tube heat exchangers, and frost behavior of heat exchanger fins. Measurements on ground thermal conductivity and on the thermal diffusion characteristics of ground heat exchangers were reported. (3) In the field of refrigeration, many studies were presented on simultaneous heating and cooling heat pump systems. Switching between various operation modes and optimizing the refrigerant charge were considered in this research. Studies of heat pump systems using unutilized energy sources such as sewage water and river water were reported. Evaporative cooling was studied both theoretically and experimentally as a potential alternative to the conventional methods. (4) Research papers on building facilities have been reviewed and divided into studies on heat and cold sources, air conditioning and air cleaning, ventilation, automatic control of heat sources with piping systems, and sound reduction in hydraulic turbine dynamo rooms. In particular, considered were efficient and effective uses of energy resulting in reduced environmental pollution and operating costs. (5) In the field of building environments, many studies focused on health and comfort. Ventilation. system performance was considered to be important in improving indoor air conditions. Due to high oil prices, various tests were planned to examine building energy consumption and to cut life cycle costs.
