A compressible media filtration process with synthetic fiber media was studied for combined sewer overflows (CSOs) treatment. Since the operation performance of fiber media filtration was dependent on the pattern of CSOs, the flow rate of CSOs was investigated and it was characterized by a big fluctuation. Thus, in this study, the fiber media filtration process was tested with wide range of filtration velocity. The removal efficiency was proportion to the increase in compressibility. As the filtration velocity was increased, the treatment efficiency was decreased and consequently leveled off when the velocity exceeded 750 $m^3/m^2$/d. An exponential equation was introduced to express the relationship between the removal efficiency and up-flow velocity. At columm test, six repetition of filtration and backwash cycle did not after the filtering velocity under the constant pressure condition.

The objective of a traffic management system is to promote safe driving, low pollution, short travel time, and optimized traffic flow by naturally distributing the flow of traffic through the use of suitable telecommunications media. Such traffic management systems will be improved by integrating dynamic traffic data and two-way communication media because cars can work as sensors. The purpose of this paper is to help organizations trying to select the correct telecommunications media for minimal-cost investment options without loss of functionality. The wireless communications for an intelligent transportation system (ITS) are introduced in this paper. We describe which kind of telecommunication media are suitable. FM broadcast type media or cellular phone can be recommended to provide real time traffic and roadway conditions in the first stage of ITS, because existing broadcast base station or cellular network facilities can be used. It is expected that cellular radio network or satellites are used for communication. Finally, the strategy and deployment plan of an ITS are described based on selections of telecommunication media in Korea.

연료전지의 성능에 가장 큰 영향을 주는 요소 중에 하나가 가스확산층과 촉매층에서 물의 거동이다. 따라서 가스확산층의 특성에 따른 유체의 거동의 변화를 이해하는 것은 연료전지의 성능개선과 가스확산층의 설계를 위한 필수적인 요소이다. 이 연구에서는 가스확산층의 설계요소인 기공도, 굴곡도와 유효확산계수를 수치적으로 계산할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법의 검증을 위하여 지름이 일정한 구형입자를 이용하여 기공도가 다른 다공체를 만들고 구형입자에 Bounceback 조건을 적용한 격자 볼쯔만법 유동해석을 수행하였다. 다공체 내의 유동효과를 나타내는 투과도는 다공체에 의한 압력강하와 평균유속으로 계산하고, 질량이 없는 입자의 평균 다공체 통과 거리로부터 계산한 굴곡도와 기공도를 이용하여 계산한 유효확산계수를 Neale의 이론식과 비교하여 정확하게 일치하는 것을 확인하였다. 이 방법은 실제 다공체의 이미지를 이용한 계산에도 수정없이 이용할 수 있어 연료전지의 성능향상과 설계를 위한 가스확산층의 특성분석에 활용될 수 있다.

UCC paradigm based on Web 2.0 has made new business models and came to the forefront as a commercial media. The purpose of this study is to analyze the customer attitudes toward UCC and its effects as a commercial media. Based on prior studies of Internet and Web advertising, informativeness, entertainment, irritation, trust, usefulness, ease of use, incentives, and flow were identified as affecting factors of the attitude of UCC advertising. Results show that informativeness, entertainment, irritation, trust, ease of use, and flow are significantly related to the attitude of UCC advertising, but usefulness and incentives are not. Customer attitude toward UCC advertising was also found to be significantly related to the such effects as brand attitude, word of mouth, and intention to buy. This study contributes to improve the understanding of UCC as a commercial media and provides the base of activation strategies for it.

For construction and design of tunnels, groundwater flow models are used to find the influence of groundwater to the stability of tunnels considering the geological condition around the tunnels and the materials used in tunnel linings. For the analysis of tunnel flow, some commercial programs, e.g. MODFLOW, SEEP/W etc., are used. These programs have limitations that MODFLOW could not define curved surface smoothly in three dimensional flow media and SEEP/W is the 2-dimensional flow model. In this paper, the ability of a finite element program developed for analyzing 3-dimensional groundwater flow is examined. Confined steady state groundwater flow solution in non-homogeneous media is obtained using isoparametric element with eight trilinear hexahedron nodes and is compared with the result of MODFLOW. It was found that the solution yielded a good result with the three dimensional flow studied.

In this paper, we propose a method to generate and optimize the height map that is suitable to render a soap bubble. The height map represents the flow speed of soap bubbles. To this end, we have analyzed the flow of the soap bubble surface through experiment, derived the moving speed value for each section. Some image filters have been used for optimization that reflects the parameters of the derived height map. In addition, in order to verify the results of the study, actual data measuring the surface flow speed of soap bubbles, the speed of the initial height map, and the optimized height map speed have been compared and tested. Through this study, we reach the issue that it is possible to express the variable flow speed of soap bubbles with the optimized height map, and it will help to express various fluids.

In the present study a detailed examination of various porous media models for predicting filtration efficiency and pressure drop of diesel particulate filter (DPF), such as sphere-in-cell and constricted tube models, are attempted. In order for demonstrating their validities of correct estimation on permeability, geometry of property configurations common in commercial cordierite DPFs are correlated to the porous media flow models, and validations of predicted filtration efficiencies due to the use of different unit collectors are made with experiments. The result shows that the porosity, pore size and permeability of cordierite DPF can be successfully correlated by Kuwabara flow field with correction factor of 0.6. The unit collector efficiency predicted by sphere-in-cell model agrees very well with measurements in accumulation mode, whereas that by constricted tube model with significant prediction error.

For engineers, generating a mesh in porous media (PMs) sometimes represents a smaller computational load than generating realistic stent geometries with computer fluid dynamics (CFD). For this reason, PMs have recently become attractive to mimic flow-diverter stents (FDs), which are used to treat intracranial aneurysms. PMs function by introducing a hydraulic resistance using Darcy's law; therefore, the pressure drop may be computed by test sections parallel and perpendicular to the main flow direction. However, in previous studies, the pressure drop parallel to the flow may have depended on the width of the gap between the stent and the wall of the test section. Furthermore, the influence of parameters such as the test section geometry and the distance over which the pressure drops was not clear. Given these problems, computing the pressure drop parallel to the flow becomes extremely difficult. The aim of the present study is to resolve this lack of information for stent modeling using PM and to compute the pressure drop using several methods to estimate the influence of the relevant parameters. To determine the pressure drop as a function of distance, an FD was placed parallel and perpendicular to the flow in test sections with rectangular geometries. The inclined angle method was employed to extrapolate the flow patterns in the parallel direction. A similar approach was applied with a cylindrical geometry to estimate loss due to pipe friction. Additionally, the pressure drops were computed by using CFD. To determine if the balance of pressure drops (parallel vs perpendicular) affects flow patterns, we calculated the flow patterns for an ideal aneurysm using PMs with various ratios of parallel pressure drop to perpendicular pressure drop. The results show that pressure drop in the parallel direction depends on test section. The PM thickness and the ratio of parallel permeability to perpendicular permeability affect the flow pattern in an ideal aneurysm. Based on the permeability ratio and the flow patterns, the pressure drop in the parallel direction can be determined.

A typical heat exchanger, found in many industrial sites, is made up of a large number of unitary cells, which causes difficulties when carrying out full-scale three-dimensional numerical simulations of the heat exchanger to analyze the aero-thermal performance. In the present study, a three-dimensional numerical study using a porous media model was carried out to evaluate the performance of the heat exchanger modelled in two different ways : full-scale and simplified. The pressure drop in the air side and gas side along with the overall heat transfer rate were calculated using a porous media model and the results were then compared to results obtained with a one-dimensional flow network model. The comparison between the results for two different geometries obtained using a porous media model and a one-dimensional flow network model shows good agreement between the simplified geometry and the one-dimensional flow network model. The full-scale geometry shows reasonable differences caused by the geometry such as sudden expansion and contraction.

To obtain the experimental data for design and operation of actual filtration processes, a sand filter and three kinds of dual media filters in pilot-plant scale were operated in this study. We analyzed the effect of filter medium composition on the filter performance and the effects of backwash water flow rates, length of stream line and air flow rate on the filter backwash efficiency. We also compared the efficiencies of the combined air-water backwashing and the water backwashing in dual media filters. As the backwash water flow rates or the length of stream line increased, the final turbidity of backwash water was decreased and the filtration duration time after backwash was increased. In the case of the combined air-water backwashing, the backwash water quantity needed for backwashing the dual media filters could be decreased. The total volume of filtered water for the dual media filters during filter run was over three times larger than that for the sand filter. The dual media filters could be operated at a high filtration rate of 360 m/day.
