We investigated the circumnuclear region of the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 5728, using the CFHT 3.6 m OASIS $[S_{II}]$, $[O_{III}]$ & $H\beta$ spectral images complemented with the IUE spectra. The physical condition of the circumnuclear zone has been derived: the gas density (indicated by $[S_{II}]$6716/31 ratio) around the C core is generally similar to that around the NW core, i.e., $\sim500cm^{-3}$. However, there appears to be evidence of a higher density shell in front of the NW core, $\sim10^4cm^{-3}$ at -250 km $s^-1$. The IUE $Si_{III}$]1892/$C_{III}$]1909 ratio implies a possible presence of a broad emission region of gas densities of $\sim10^{10}cm^{-3}$. The SE cone and surrounding area show several prominent features, while the NW cone does not show any particular structure: we identified three prominent blobs in the SE cone and one possible candidate in the NW cone. The outflow activities exist within the relatively large conic opening angle. We discussed the possibility of inflow or outflow activities of blobs found in the circumnuclear region of NGC 5728. The gas around two cores, two cones, and several blobs, is likely to be excited by the AGN hot source(s).

The fluid-flow characteristics of flue-gas-recirculation (FGR) system can have a significant effect on system efficiency of a sintering plant. The flow characteristics in the system were investigated. A sintering plant with FGR system was modeled. Numerical visualization was performed and flow characteristics were analyzed. Characteristics of the flow distribution of the branch ducts, the inflow of air into the recirculating hood, and the flow in the hood were discussed. Based on the results three suggestions were proposed: (1) distribution of branch duct flowrate upstream, (2) installation of external air ducts in the hood, and (3) installation of baffles at the hood corners. The suggestions were tested numerical and experimental visualization methods. The suggestions were effective and confirmed to be applicable to the actual sinter plant.

We use grid-based hydrodynamic simulations to study star formation in nuclear rings in barred galaxies. The gaseous medium is assumed to be infinitesimally thin, isothermal, and unmagnetized. To investigate various situations, we vary the total gas content in the bar regions and the bar growth time. We find that star formation rate (SFR) in a nuclear ring is determined by the mass inflow rate to the ring rather than the total gas mass in the ring. The SFR shows a strong primary burst and weak secondary bursts at early time, and declines to small values at late time. The primary burst is caused by the rapid gas infall to the ring due to the bar growth, with its duration and peak depending on the bar growth time. The secondary bursts result from re-infall of the ejected gas by star formation feedback of the primary burst. When the SFR is low, ages of young star clusters exhibit an azimuthal gradient along the ring since star formation takes place mostly near the contact points between the dust lanes and the nuclear ring. When the SFR is large, on the other hand, star formation is widely distributed throughout the whole length of the ring, with no apparent age gradient of star clusters. Regardless of SFR, star clusters have a positive radial age gradient, with younger clusters located closer to the ring, since the ring shrinks in size over time.

Purpose: Current gas-mask is very uncomfortable structure for spectacles wearer. Improving this problem can aid military men and firemen to protect themselves and rescue other person. Methods: we changed the structure from dual type of outward lens and inward lens into a single type structure. we attached acrylic frame to gas-mask instead of outward lens and protected the gas inflow by shutting the gab of lens and frame using silicon shield, and made the frame "S" style for removing astigmatism and maintaining of vertex distance. Results: It was possible to correct visual acuity and gas shield, and could changed the lens like a common spectacles. The new type of gas-mask spectacles could remove 0.53D~1.78D astigmatism occurred from the slant of eyesight and lens surface, 0.07D~0.66D overcorrection occurred from short vertex distance, and 0.1D~0.3D astigmatism occurred from pantoscopic angle. Conclusion: Because new type of gas-mask spectacles had clear visual field, it was expected to improve fighting power and rescue ability.

Gas system fire extinguishing equipment is a very economically useful facility, but if it is not used for a long period of time after installing the equipment, there is possibility of rupture due to corrosion of containers and operation errors of equipment systems, and this is very dangerous. However, it is impossible to experiment to check whether the equipment is operating normally. If gas is temporarily released into the enclosed space due to rupture and malfunction, it can cause serious human damage due to gas suffocation. In this study, based on the suffocation death accident of gas system fire extinguishing facility, the inflow path of released gas and the possibility of death and time to death were estimated using a 3D scan and FLACS.

This paper describes numerical study of combustion characteristics in CNG(compressed natural gas) DI(direct injection) engine using gaseous sphere injection model. Simulations were conducted using KIVA-3V Release 2 code. Gaseous sphere injection model, which is modified model of liquid fuel injection, was used to simulate the CNG direct injection. Until now, a very fine mesh smaller than the injector nozzle has been required to resolve the gas-jet inflow boundary. However, the gaseous sphere injection model simulates gaseous fuel injection using a coarse mesh. This model injects gaseous spheres as in liquid fuel injection and the gaseous spheres evaporate together without the latent heat of evaporation. Therefore, it does not require a very fine mesh and reduce calculation time. Combustion simulation were performed under various injection timings and injection pressures.

The results of radon $(^{222}Rn)$ concentrations and working levels (WL) for forty rooms in Kwanak Campus, Seoul National University on granite bedrock of Jurassic age showed that radon concentration have mean value of 3.0 pCi/L and 0.011 for working level. A number of rooms where these values exceed the EPA's action level are five (13%). It was also suggested that indoor basement rooms in poor ventilation condition can be classified as extremely high radon risk zone having more than 4 pCi/L and 0.020 WL. It was proved that inflow of soil-gas was a primary factor that governs indoor radon level by comparison of soil-gas radon concentrations with indoor radon concentrations.

The NOx emissions from diesel engines and industrial boilers are a major cause of environmental pollution. The selective catalytic reduction of urea is an aftertreatment technology that is widely used for the reduction of NOx emissions. The objective of this study was to investigate the characteristics of the thermal decomposition of a urea aqueous solution using laboratory-scale experimental equipment under conditions similar to those of marine diesel engines. A 40 wt. urea aqueous solution was used in this study. It was found that the total conversion rate varied with the inflow gas conditions and flow rates of the urea aqueous solution. In addition, there were conversion rate differences between NH3 and HNCO. At inflow gas temperature conditions of $210^{\circ}C$ and $250^{\circ}C$, the $NH_3$ conversion rate was found to be higher than that of the HNCO, depending on the residence time.

LNGC suffers a great heat inflow during navigation and this heat inflow inevitably boils off the LNG. The boiled off gas(BOG) is normally consumed as a fuel for ship's engine. The boiled off LNG means a loss of cargo during transportation in the viewpoint of shipper. Therefore, a contract between shipper and ship operator is made for the limitation of BOR under 0.15 ％/day based on laden voyage. This contract on BOR limit requires that ship's officer has a correct knowledge on BOR for his ship. nut, in most cases ship IS operated based on only officer's experiences. In this study, author presented a simple model to predict the BOG during navigation based on the existing precision heat exchange design technology about the heat distribution on the hull and heat inflow from outside through the hull. The BOG is calculated for ballast and laden voyage based on the actual weather conditions and verified by comparing with the measured BOG for the study ship. The study ship is a membrane type LNGC which is now servicing in Middle east route. Thus, the BOG prediction method which is presented in this study is expected to be used for an useful tool to manage the BOG in now servicing LNGC.
