유역에서 물의 평균체류시간은 강우에 의해 토양에 강우 등으로 인해 수분이 침투하여 유출되기까지 소요되는 평균 시간이며, 침식, 식생분포, 유출기작 등을 지배하는 수문학적 과정을 이해하는데 중요한 요소이다. 물의 평균체류 시간을 산정하는 대표적인 방법인 방사성 동위원소에 의한 추적자법은 계산과정이 복잡하고 많은 비용이 들면서도 간접적인 방법임으로, 본 연구에서는 토양수분의 거동을 관측해 산지사면에서 물의 평균체류시간을 산정하는 보다 직접적인 방법을 고안하였다. 토양수분의 측정을 위해 광릉 국립수목원에 위치한 산림 소유역에 토양 수분 측정장비인 TDR을 설치하고 1년 동안 2시간 간격으로 깊이별 측정을 수행하였다. 토양수분을 이용해 산정된 물의 체류시간은 대상유역의 불투수 지하면에 가까워질수록 상승하는 경향을 보였고 강우가 집중된 여름에 가장 짧은 것으로 나타났다. 실험에서 얻어진 평균체류시간은 기존의 화학적 방법을 통해 산정된 값과 유사한 경향을 보였는데 이러한 결과들은 토양수분의 측정과 분석을 통한 방법이 방사성 동위원소를 이용한 방법보다 더욱 효율성 있는 측정을 할 수 있다는 것을 나타낸다.

Hydrodynamic study of Activated Sludge Process (ASP) is important to optimize the reactor performance and detect anomalies in the system. Residence time distribution (RTD) study has been performed using LiCl as tracer on a pilot scale aeration tank (AT) and ASP, treating the pulp and paper mill effluent. The hydraulic performance and treatment efficiency of the AT and ASP at different operating parameters like residence time, recycle rate was investigated. Flow anomalies were identified and based on the experimental data empirical models was suggested to interpret the hydrodynamics of the reactors using compartment modelling technique. The analysis of the RTD curves and the compartment models indicated increase in back-mixing ratio as the mean hydraulic retention time (MHRT) of the tank was increased. Bypassing stream was observed at lower MHRT. The fraction of dead zone in the tank increased by approximate 20-25% with increase in recycle rate. The fraction of the stagnant zone was found well below 5% for all performed experiments, which was under experimental error. The substrate removal of 91% for Chemical oxygen demand and 96% for Biochemical oxygen demand were observed for the ASP working at a hydraulic mean residence time 39 h MRT with a 20% recycling of activated sludge.

The change of flue gas residence time with the location of air inlet in an incinerator is analysed. An independent numerical variable is the location of air inlet and dependant is the residence time of flue gas. The mean value of turbulence energy in a primary combustion chamber is also analysed. The flow field and the distribution of turbulence energy are investigated to evaluate their influence on the residence time of flue gas and the turbulence energy. As the position of secondary air inlet approaches to the top of primary combustion chamber, the residence time of gas and the turbulence energy become longer and larger respectively.

Simultaneous measurements of velocity and OH distribution were made using particle image velocimetry(PIV) and planar laser-induced fluorescence(PLIF) of OH radical in turbulent hydrogen nonpremixed flames with coaxial air. The OH radical was used as an approximate indicator of chemical reaction zone. The OH layer was correlated well with the stoichiometric velocity, $U_s$, instantaneously and on average. In addition, high strain-rate regions almost coincide with the OH distribution. The residence time in flame surface, calculated from the root-mean-square value of the radial velocity, is proportional to $(x/d_F)^{0.7}$. It is found that the mean value of principal strain rate on the OH layer can be scaled with $(x/d_F)^{-0.7}$ and therefore, the product of the residence time and the mean strain rate remains constant over all axial positions.

This analysis is aimed to find out how the conditions of secondary air injection affects the residence time and the turbulence energy of flue gas and flow field in a small incinerator. A commercial code, PHOENICS, is used to simulate the flow field of an Incinerator. The computational grid system is constructed in a cartesian coordinate system In this numerical experiment, an independent numerical variable is the conditions of secondary air injection and dependants are the residence time of flue gas and the mean value of turbulence energy in a primary combustion chamber. The flow field and the distribution of turbulence energy are analysed to evaluate the residence time of flue gas and the turbulence energy The computational results say that the tangential injection of secondary air make the residence time much longer than the radial injection and that the radial injection of secondary make turbulence much stronger than the tangential injection.

To estimate the residence times of aerosols in air, the activities of $^{210}Pb$ and $^{210}Po$ in aerosols were measured at 4 sites in Pusan. All aerosol samples were collected by a high volume air sampler from January to October 1996. The activities $^{210}Pb$ and $^{210}Po$ in Pusan were varied from 11.77 to 67.57 dpm/1000$m^3$ and from 2.63 to 15.91 dpm/1000$m^3$, respectively. The mean activities were 34.62 dpm/1000$m^3$ for $^{210}Pb$ and 8.24 dpm/1000$m^3$ for $^{210}Po$. The highest values of the activities of $^{210}Pb$ and $^{210}Po$ were appeared at P3 site and the lowest values at P4 site. During the sampling period, the trends of the activities of $^{210}Po$ and $^{210}Pb$ were similar to total suspended particulate matter(TSP) concentrations. The mean residence times of atmospheric aerosols calculated from $^{210}Po$/$^{210}Pb$ activity ratio was about 60~80 days in Pusan. The longest residence time of atmospheric aerosols was in January because of the lack of rainout and washout, but the shortest residence time was in August, largely due to scavenging effect by frequent rains. The activities of $^{210}Po$ and $^{210}Pb$ in atmospheric aerosols were different in time and space, which seems that the distribution of $^{210}Po$ and $^{210}Pb$ activities and scavenging processes in air may be controlled by the local and meteorological conditions.

We conducted modeling experiments to evaluate the residence times and exchange rates of seawater in Gamak Bay, located on the southern coast of the Korean Peninsula. The results revealed that pollutants are more quickly dispersed in a fixed grid rather than in a variable grid system. Pollutant concentrations decayed exponentially with time after release near the mouth of the bay, whereas no exponential variations were seen at the northwest end of the bay. The mean exchange rate of the seawater was 1.58% per day in the variable grid system, and the residence time of pollutants was greater than 288 days in Gamak Bay. Conversely, the exchange rate of seawater in Gamak Bay, as revealed by the particle tracking method, was 65% over a 50-day simulation. The results suggest that the seawater exchange in Gamak Bay is so low that pollutants are likely to remain in the bay indefinitely.

This study was carried out for the purpose of developing an effective temazepam soft elastic gelatin capsule (softgel) which exhibits an excellent bioavailability and of comparing the rate and extent of absorption of temazepam from the marked elixir and prepared softgel using hydrophilic liquid such as polyethylene glycol 400 as a suspending agent by rotary die method. Both softgel and elixir containing 3 mg of temazepam were given to 7 healthy male New Zealand White rabbits in a single oral dose cross-over study. Plasma temazepam concentrations were measured by HPLC. The mean peak concentrations of temazepam following a single oral dosing as softgel and elixir dosage form were 13.84 and 13.25 ng/ml, respectively. And the mean time to peak concentration was 1.29 hr for the softgel and 1.07 hr for the elixir. There was no significant difference in the extent of drug absorption (AUC) for the two different dosage froms (p>0.05). While the softgel exhibited mean lag time of 0.63 hr, the elixir did not show any lag time. Statistical moment parameters such as the mean residence time and variance of the mean residence time did not differ significantly for the two formulations.

EFDC와 라그랑쥐 입자추적모델을 이용하여 조석주기별로 오염물질의 방출 시점이 다를 경우에 대한 마산만의 체류시간 및 해수교환율의 정량적 차이를 계산하였다. 체류시간은 만 전체에 대해 약 40일이었고 그 범위는 부도 남쪽 해역에서 약 20일 이하, 소모도 상부에 위치하는 마산만 내측에서는 약 100일 이상으로 나타났다. 이러한 체류 시간의 공간적 차이는 주로 조석잔차류와 만 내측으로부터의 거리에 영향을 받는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 만 전체 면적에 대한 체류시간의 평균값은 대조기 및 소조기에 각각 약 36일과 42일로 나타났다. 해수교환율은 30%가 되기까지 걸리는 시간이 입자 방류 시점에 따라 최소 약 65일부터 최대 105일까지 약 40일 이상 차이가 나는 것으로 계산되었다.

염색폐수를 생물학적으로 처리하여 방류하는 연속으로 연결되어있는 6개의 단으로 구성된 폐수처리시설에서 폐수 유동을 관찰하고 처리공정에 영향을 줄 수 있는 요인들을 찾기 위해 동위원소를 이용한 추적자 실험을 수행하였다. 추적자로 약 20mCi의 $^{131}I$를 첫 번째 단의 폐수 유입부에 투입하고 각 단에 방사선 검출기를 설치하여 시간에 따른 추적자 농도변화를 측정하였다. 측정된 데이터를 Perfect Mixers in Series Model을 이용한 분석을 통하여 평균체재시간과 시스템에서의 유동 특성 파라미터들을 계산하였다. 시스템의 평균체재시간은 설계치인 22.3시간의 76%인 17시간으로 계산되었다. 시스템을 구성하고 있는 6개의 단 중에서 제1단은 완전혼합기(perfect mixer)로서의 특성을 보이지 않았으나, 나머지 5개의 단은 완전혼합기와 같이 작동하였다. 제1단의 출력은 상호 교환이 일어나는 탱크를 가진 완전혼합기 모델로 모사한 출력과 좋은 일치를 보였다. 이 교환되는 탱크의 크기는 전체의 약 4분의 1인 것으로 분석되었다. 체재시간분포 실험의 결과는 유입 폐수의 방사선 전처리를 위해 설치된 전자선가속기의 가동조건 변경 후 그 영향에 대한 연구를 위한 적정 시료채취시간 산정에 사용되었다.
