This study evaluated the effect of factors influencing the initial biofilm formation in drinking water distribution pipe by running experiments using a $2^{4-1}$ fractional factorial experimental design with a replicate. Important variables used for assessing biofilm formation included BDOC(biodegradable dissolved organic carbon), viable heterotrophic bacteria present in drinking water, water temperature, and shear stress at two levels each. Based on the statistical analysis of biofilm levels measured as attached HPC(heterotrophic plate count) and community-level assay, the main factors that have significant effects on biofilm formation were found to be viable heterotrophic bacteria and BDOC. Water temperature only exhibited significant effect on the levels of attached HPC, while shear stress was not a significant factor under given conditions. Moreover, the statistical analysis revealed that interactions between the important variables were not statistically significant at a 0.05 significance level.

The present research was undertaken to evaluate the possibility of water purification filter with activated carbon fibers (ACFs) using a very low cost precursor consisting of phenolic resin coated on glass fibers. The simplified procedure involving coating, curing and activation and a very low cost glass fiber as a raw material were adopted in order to reduce manufacturing cost. The breakthrough curves of the manufactured ACFs and the commercial activated carbon (AC, Calgon F-200) were investigated in the initial concentration range from 19 to 49 ppm for benzene, toluene and ethylbenzene. From breakthrough profiles, the manufactured ACFs had significantly faster adsorption kinetics than the AC. Especially the benzene breakthrough curves, the manufactured ACF (13 g of ACF with 32% of carbon on the glass) was over the limited level (5 ppb) after flowing of 32 l at initial concentration of 15 ppm, while the commercial AC was shown about 3 ppm in initial adsorption.

This research is an illustrative research to verify the thermo environmental change created after introduction of indoor pond through abridged model test and simulation analysis. Especially, temperature and comfort level are analyzed by adjusting factors like size of water space, distance length, and location. Summary of the research is as follows. First, the most effective size of water space is 7% of the indoor size, from southern side. Temperature reduction effect is about $1.6^{\circ}C$(5.5%), and for the comfort level, it is found that pmv index increases 8%. Second, based on the simulation of distance length with the sphere, it is more effective as it is close to the surface. If distance length is more than 0.5m, there is no effect on reduction of temperature and comfort level of indoor environment. Lastly, for the analysis by location of the introduced water space, simulation is undertaken by dividing the water space (14% of the indoor size) with front, side, rear and center types. Temperature reduction effect is found to be : front type ($-1.53^{\circ}C$), side type ($-0.82^{\circ}C$), rear type ($-0.44^{\circ}C$), center type ($-0.28^{\circ}C$), respectively. The indoor environment change data by introduction of water space, found in this research, is at initial phase, but it is deemed to be a basic data to refer when planning actual water space.

김치 제조시 보다 철저한 재료 세척과 이에 따른 김치제품의 초기 미생물제어를 목적으로 전해산화수를 세척매체로 이용하였다. 원료배추를 전해산화수로 1회 세정한 결과 전해산화수를 사용한 처리구는 수도수 처리에 비해 총 균수 및 대장균수가 약 1/2수준으로 감소됨을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 김치양념에 대한 수도수 및 전해산화수 처리에 따른 미생물수의 차이를 볼 수는 없었으며 이는 주로 양념 중의 고춧가루에 기인하는 것으로 판단되었다. 절임수를 전해산화수로 사용했을 경우 절임수 자체의 총 균수에서는 매우 큰 차이를 나타내어 전해산화수를 사용했을 때가 약 1/270 정도의 수준을 보였다. 절임 배추를 전해산화수로 세정한 경우에는 총 균수가 수도수 처리구에 비해 1/16 수준으로 감소하였고 대장균군 및 대장균은 검출되지 않았다. 절임 전후를 비교했을 때 전해산화수를 사용했을 경우에는 절임후 총 균수가 1/4 수준으로 감소했으며, 대장균군은 거의 완전히 사멸한 것으로 나타난 반면 수도수를 사용한 처리구에서는 총 균수가 오히려 1.7배 정도 증가하였다. 이러한 증가는 제조 공정 중의 2차적인 오염이 그 원인일 것으로 추정되었다. 배추김치의 발효 중 총 균수 변화에 있어서 발효 15일까지는 전해산화수 처리구가 비교적 낮은 총 균수를 나타내었으나 발효 20일경이 지나서는 큰 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 김치 발효 중 pH는 발효 15일까지 다소 차이를 보였으나 20일경 부터는 차이가 매우 미미하였으며, 이러한 경향은 산도에서도 유사하여 발효 20일 부터는 거의 차이를 나타내지 않았다.

The effects of initial concentration and pulsed pressurization on the inactivation of Clostridium sporogenes spores suspended in deionized water were determined during thermal processing $(TP;\;105^{\circ}C,\;0.1MPa)$ and pressure-assisted thermal processing $(PATP;\;105^{\circ}C\;and\;700MPa)$ treatments for 40 min and 5min holding times, respectively. Different inoculum levels $(10^4,\;10^6\;and\;10^8CFU/ml)$ of C. sporogenes spores suspended in deionized water were treated at $105^{\circ}C$ under 700MPa with single, double, and triple pulses. Thermally treated samples served as control. No statistical significances (p>0.05) were observed among all different inoculum levels during the thermal treatment, whereas the inactivation rates $(k_1\;and\;k_2)$ were decreased with increasing the initial concentrations of C. sporogenes spores during the PATP treatments. Double- and triple-pulsed pressurization reduced more effectively the number of C. sporogenes spores than single-pulse pressurization. The study shows that the spore clumps formed during the PATP may lead to an increase in pressure-thermal resistance, and multiple-pulsed pressurization can be more effective in inactivating bacterial spores. The results provide an interesting insight on the spore inactivation mechanisms with regard to inoculum level and pulsed pressurization.

An experimental investigation has been peformed to examine the effects of various geometrical parameters and an initial operating condition on the air-water countercurrent How limitation (CCFL) in a simulated PWR hot leg. A total of 118 experimental data for the onset of CCFL and zero liquid penetration were obtained for various combinations of test parameters. It was observe that the CCFL can be classified into three different categories: (the onset of CCFL, (the partial liquid delivery, and (r) the zero liquid penetration. The observed mechanisms of the onset of CCFL were different depending on the inlet water flow rate. The parametric effects of pipe diameter, horizontal pipe length, horizontal pipe length-to-diameter (L/D) ratio, and initial water level in the horizontal pipe of the test section on the onset of air-water CCFL were also examined. An empirical correlation for the onset of CCFL in a horizontal pipe connected to an inclined riser was developed in terms of Wallis flooding parameters for the low inlet water flow rate region. Comparisons of the present empirical correlation with the air-water CCFL data of large pipe diameters show that the present correlation agrees more closely with the experimental data than the existing CCFL correlations.

지반공학적으로 제방(또는 댐) 월류에 대한 근거를 제시하기 어렵다. 수문학적인 안정성 평가에서 댐의 초기수위(만수위)를 고정시키고 강우량을 계산하기 때문에 월류 가능성은 매우 희박하다. 그러나 Copula 함수를 사용하여 초기수위가 고정된 댐의 만수위가 아닌 변동성 있는 확률수위를 적용해서 국내 40년간의 빈도를 고려할 때, 월류 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다. 수문학적 댐의 위험성 분석은 다양한 불확실성 인자 중 댐 초기수위에 대한 모의기법 개발이 필요한 복잡한 수문학적 해석을 요구한다. 본 연구에서는 기존 댐 위험도 분석 시 초기수위는 상시만수위 또는 홍수기 제한수위로 가정하지만, 이러한 보수적인 가정에 의한 연구는 기상변동성 및 기후변화의 영향을 고려하지 못하며, 댐의 월류확률 및 이에 따른 붕괴확률을 추정하는데 있어서 지반공학적인 접근이 필요하다. Copula 함수를 이용하여 댐 특성에 맞는 초기수위를 결정하였으며, HEC-5 모형을 활용하여 강우-유출 모형 매개변수의 사후분포를 정량적으로 추정하여 댐 월류확률을 산정하였다. 지반공학적인 측면에서 댐 안정성 해석은 상류사면(upstream)의 수위급강하(drawdown)에 대한 안전율과 하류사면(downstream) 월류상태에서의 불안정성을 비교하여 지반공학적 위험도를 비교 분석하였다.

This study area was Saemangeum Reservoir in Korea and the applied model was Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code(EFDC). It was the same as the scenarios to the boundary and initial conditions except the resolutions of the model grids. The resolutions were about 800 and 2,000 cells. It was considered scenario 1 and 2. The model was performed to simulate the water temperature, salinity, water quality parameters such as dissolved oxygen(DO), chemical oxygen demand(COD), total nitrogen(T-N), and total phosphorus(T-P) at 2008. The simulation results of the two scenarios were reflected in the trend of observed data tolerably. However, water flow, water temperature, and salinity showed high confidence level at the scenario 1. The water quality items did not present high confidence level at the scenario 1 because which concept was considered to biochemical and physical processes. This result shows that grid resolution has an influence on the water transport and the effect is reflected directly shallow and narrow water area. But, the selection of grid resolution should be considered the purpose of model simulation and the process of target items.

도시유역에서 발생되는 내수침수를 방어하는 수단으로 구조적 대책인 빗물펌프장이 있으나 현실적 적용에 어려움이 있기 때문에 비구조적 대책 등이 보안되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 빗물펌프장 실무운영 담당자의 의견을 반영한 최소의 월류량을 가지는 펌프의 최적운영수위를 결정하였다. 빗물펌프장의 최적운영수위를 산정하기 위해 최적화 기법인 GA(Genetic Algorithm)을 이용하였으며, 도시유역의 강우-유출 모형인 SWMM(Ver.5.1) DLL과 연계하였다. 제약조건으로는 펌프의 효율을 극대화하는데 까지의 걸리는 시간을 고려하였으며, 최적운영수위를 산정한 결과 전체적으로 기존운영수위보다 낮은 운영 수위에서 월류량이 감소하였다. 대부분 펌프의 경우 각 펌프 호기의 운영 범위에서 가장 낮은 운영 수위가 선정되었다. 초기 펌프의 운영하는 것이 월류량을 저감할 수 있는 것으로 판단되며 이 후 펌프 운영 조건 변경을 하여도 월류 저감에 변화는 없는 것으로 나타났다. 내수침수 저감정도는 약 1%~2%로 산출되었으며, 하류지역에서 발생되는 월류량을 저감하는 정도이지만, 펌프의 운영적 관점에서 기계적 및 실무적 관점의 접근에 따른 효과적인 운영이라 판단된다. 향후, 펌프의 운영조건 등을 고려한다면, 펌프의 효율을 증대하고 내수침수를 저감하는데 도움이 되리라 판단된다.
