This study is aimed to investigate changes of combustion characteristics and heat efficiency when syngas from gasification process using low-rank fuel such as waste and/or biomass is applied partially to an industrial boiler. An experimental study on syngas co-combustion was performed in a 0.7 MW (1 ton steam/hr) water tube boiler using heavy oil as a main fuel. Three kinds of syngas were used as an alternative fuel: mixture gas of pure carbon monoxide and hydrogen, syngas of low calorific value generated from an air-blown gasification process, and syngas of high calorific value produced from an oxygen-blown gasification process. Effects of co-combustion ratio (0~20%) for each syngas on flue gas composition were investigated through syngas injection through the nozzles installed in the side wall of the boiler and measuring $O_2$, $CO_2$, CO and NOx concentrations in the flue gas. When syngas co-combustion was applied, injected syngas was observed to be burned completely and NOx concentration was decreased because nitrogen-containing-heavy oil was partially replaced by the syngas. However, heat efficiency of the boiler was observed to be decreased due to inert compounds in the syngas and the more significant decrease was found when syngas of lower calorific value was used. However, the decrease of the efficiency was under 10% of the heat replacement by syngas.

The effect if heat treatment (autoclave) in amino acid digestibility of winged bean determined using intact cockerels had been investigated. The winged beans were autoclaved at $120^{\circ}C$ for 45 or 90 min, respectively, and the soybean were autoclaved for 45 min. The treated winged bean and soybean were fed to 3 intact cockerels, which had been previously starved for 24 h. Excreta were collected individually for 49 h. The amino acids contained in the diets and excreta were determined to measure the digestibility values. Apparent and true digestibilities of all amino acids except histidine of unheated winged bean were significantly (P < 0.05) lower than those of heated winged bean and soybean. Heat treatment significantly (p < 0.05) improved amino acid digestibility of winged bean, However, over heating (90 min if autoclaving) destroyed lysine, cystine and arginine of winged bean. The true digestibility values of all amino acids of winged bean heated for 90min were the same as those values of treated soybean. However, true digestibilities of glycine, alannine, phenylalanine and lysine of treated soybean were significantly (p < 0.05) higher than those of winged bean heated for 45 min.

This study intended to collect data for evaluating the meteorological value of Upo Wetland which is the largest wetland in the downstream of Nakdong River. The observations were conducted in summer at the Upo Wetland and its surrounding paddy field that is the converted areas from a wetland to a paddy field. The following results are obtained: 1) The temperature of Upo Wetland area was $1^{\circ}C$ lower than the surrounding area during the day while it was a little higher during the night.; 2) The maximum wind speed in the Upo Wetland area was 3.5 m/s which is stronger than 1.6 m/s of its surrounding area. The south wind was observed in the farmland for most of the day while north winds and south winds alternated between day and night in Upo Wetland.; 3) In heat budget analysis, Upo Wetland was wasted in the form of latent heat rather than sensible heat in daytime.

Present work was carried out to investigate the influence of welded conditions, such as welding current, diameter of welding wire on the microstructural change and mechanical properties of TIG welded joint in AZ31B Mg alloy. It was found that good and sound welded joint was achieved in all welding conditions. The grain size decreased with increasing welding current and decreasing diameter of welding wire. Also, the second phases were homogeneously distributed in the grain and grain boundary as decreasing welding current and diameter of welding wire. The ${\beta}$ discontinuos precipitates were observed in the welded joint, but this microstructure has not been reported by previous researchs in AZ31B Mg alloy. The hardness value is affected by the existence state of the second phase and the hardness of the welded joint region is lower than the other regions in welded AZ31B Mg alloy. The strength of the welded joint region was influenced by the grain size and has more than 90%, compared to that of ASTM standard specification.

Yakju(rice wine) was sterilized with high-voltage square-wave pulses of $1\;{\mu}s$ duration at various electric field strengths and frequencies on a serial multiple electrode pulsed electric field(PEF) treatment system consisted of 7 electrodes connected in series. The initial microbial counts of Yakju were $1.88{\times}10^3{\sim}2.13{\times}10^4$ CFU/mL for total aerobes, $1.55{\times}10^3{\sim}2.85{\times}10^4$ CFU/mL for lactic acid bacteria and $1.72{\times}10^3{\sim}2.39{\times}10^4$ CFU/mL for yeasts. The sterilization of microorganisms in Yakju was a first order reaction and the sterilization effect increased as the field strength and the frequency increased. The $D_{Hz}-value$ and the $D_{PEF}-value$ decreased with the electric field strength. Yeast showed lower $D_{PEF}-value$ than bacteria. Lactic acid bacteria showed lower $D_{PEF}-value$ than general aerobic bacteria under the electric field strength below 30 kV/cm, but higher ones under that above 40 kV/cm. The $Z_{PEF}-value$ of general aerobic bacteria, lactic acid bacteria and yeast in Yakju were 39.4, 49.3 and 47.6 kV/cm, respectively. The PEF sterilization resulted in less changes in color and sensory properties than heat sterilization, and the PEF treated Yakju showed superior quality to the heat treated one. The commercial sterilization of Yakju was accomplished with 2-cycle treatment on the tested serial PEF treatment system.

To ensure the measuring accuracy of the wall temperature, the outer wall temperature measurement values by using three kinds of thermocouple welding methods were analyzed and evaluated in the paper, including single-point flush-mounted in the wall groove method, single-point insert-mounted in the wall groove, and outer surface direct welding method, based on the application of a tube-in-tube condensing heat exchanger. And the impacts of silver, tin, and thermal resistance adhesive as filling materials on wall temperature measurement were also investigated, and the results were compared to that obtained without filling materials. The results showed that the wall temperatures measured by the three welding methods were lower than the theoretically calculated value. And the wall temperature measured by the outer surface direct welding method was lowest under the same experimental conditions. The wall temperatures measured by single-point flush-mounted and insert-mounted in the wall groove methods were also affected by different welding filling materials. It was found that the greater the thermal resistance of filling materials, the smaller the heat loss. By analyzing the reasons for the low measured value of wall temperature, a new wall temperature measurement method was developed to improve the accuracy of the current measurement method. Meanwhile, the outer wall temperature measurement experiments of vertical and horizontal heat transfer tubes were carried out to validate and calibrate the improved outer wall temperature measurement method. The results showed that the average outer wall temperature deviation measured by the improved wall temperature measurement method ranged from - 0.82% to +2.29% for vertical tubes and - 4.75% to - 1.44% for horizontal tubes, and the improved measurement method had good measurement accuracy.

It is important to understand correctly a CHF under low flow condition for the purpose of enhancing the reactor safety and performance in the LWRs. The CHF experiments have been carried out for an internally heated vertical annulus in RCS loop facility. The experimental conditions cover ranges of pressure from 1.82 to 12.08 MPa, mass flux from 300 to 550kg/$m^2$. s and inlet subcooling of 210kJ/kg. The CHF data decrease with increasing pressure at high value of mass flux. For mass flux of about 300kg/$m^2$. s, the CHF rue little influenced by pressure. The CHF data are correlated well by using the dimensionless heat flux and dimensionless mass flux for a fixed inlet subcooling except the data group of 12.08 MPa. It seems that the Doerffer correlation and Katto correlation overestimate the CHF for low pressure and lower value of mass flux within this experimental ranges. The Bowling correlation gives a better prediction than the other two correlations.

In order to determine the enthalpy profile in the high temperature transpiration cooling test facility for the air-breating engine compartments, theoretical calculation and measurement for the flow of the test section are performed. The mass averaged enthalpy value determined by the heat balance and sonic throat methods is 10 MJ/kg. The centerline enthalpy value measured using the slug type copper calorimeter is 15 MJ/kg. Typically, the ratio of centerline and mass averaged enthalpy should be varies from 1.4 to 4. This facility has lower bound of enthalpy profile. It will be effective in testing of high temperature transpiration cooling.
