Changes in surface properties and detergency of sunactant mixtures were investigated in order to study the optimum mixing ratio of anionic and nonionic surfactants by measuring surface tension, interfacial tension, suspendability, and emulsification as a Amction of mixing ratio. Also, surface tension and detergency of the surfactant mixtures were determined with the increase of water-hardness or temperature. The results were as follows: the addition of NPE to anionic surfactant solutions (LAS or SDS) by 0.1 mole fraction remarkably decreased surface tension. NPE (n=15)/anionic surfactant mixtures showed a synergistic effect in lowering interfacial tension and emulsification, but NPE (n=7.5)/anionic surfactant mixtures did not. In suspension stability, however, synergism appeared when LAS or 505 was mixed with both of NPE's. With respect to the hydrophile of NPE, NPE (n=15) was more effective than NPE (n=i.5) in improving suspension stability. Detergency of LAS/NPE mixture changed almost linearly with mixing ratio, but that of SDS/NPE mixture increased remarkably by the addition of 0.1 or 0.2 mole fraction of NPE at all temperatures. As the temperature increased, surface tension of surfactant mixtures decreased and detergency was improved, but their synergistic effect decreased. In hard water, the mixtures showed better detergency than single surfactuant solutions.

The objective of this study is to present an efficient measurement method of the effective thermal diffusivity for the fibrous insulation material. The non-linear parameter estimation (NPE) method is adapted for this analysis because of its accuracy and its results are compared with those by other direct methods such as CTP, CHP and STD method. A experimental system is constructed with bell-jar vaccum chamber, diffusion pump, tube type furnace, control unit and data acquisition system included with A/D converter and IBM XT/AT personal computer. The typical results obtained from this study are as follows; 1) NPE method can be recommended as an useful and accurate method to measure the effective thermal diffusivity of insuation material because it is shown that the measurement error compared with those by other direct methods is reduced for standard material, NBS-1450b. 2) NPE method can minimize the effects of ill-measured temperature due to external disturbance, because the final value is found by point to point estimating. 3) NPE method dose not depend on the kinds of heat flux, since the surfac temperature are used to estimate the thermal diffusivity. 4) With NPE method, compared with the steady state method, a measuring time and a sample size could be reduced.

Nonylphenol polyetoxylates (NPnEOs) metabolites; nonylphenol (NP), nonylphenol monoethoxylate (NP1EO), nonylphenoxyacetic acid (NPEC) (collectively referred to "NPE-c") were examined for their degradations by using of lab-scale UV/photocatalytic silicagel (ultraviolet photocatalytic degradation in the presence of silicagel coated with titanium dioxide as a catalyst) reactor. NPE-c degradations by UV/photocatalytic silicagel treatment reached approximately 85-93 % after 40 min irradiation independently of its initial concentration (between ca. 0.5 and 2.0mg/l). Any intermediates under the NPE-c degradation were not identified by GC/MS sample analysis. Degradations of NPE-c were followed pseudo first-order kinetics. Then, the effectiveness of UV/photocatalytic silicagel treatment for degradation of NPE-c was in the order of NPEC > NP > NP1EO.

파형강관은 아연도금강판을 물결모양으로 성형하여 나선형으로 조관한 연성관으로 콘크리트 흄관을 대체하여 각종 토목공사의 우수 및 하수관으로 주로 사용되고 있다. 파형강관은 강판에 물결 형상을 성형하여 내하력을 부여하였기 때문에 높은 강도를 지니고 있고, 경량이고 유연성이 있어 기초공사가 쉽고 현장에서의 운반 및 보관이 용이하여 그 활용이 점차 확대되고 있다. 이러한 파형강관의 내/외부에 기능성 고분자 복합 Polymer(다중필름)을 코팅하여 일반 파형강관 대비 더 높은 내식성 및 내마모성을 구현한 제품을 NPE 피복 파형강관이라 하며, 내부에 평판을 2중으로 결합하여 일반 파형강관 대비 통수능력을 개선한 파형강관을 내부평활 파형강관이라고 한다. 최근 파형강관의 활용이 점차 확대되고 있음에도 불구하고, 파형강관에 국한된 수리역학적 특성에 관한 연구는 미흡한 실정이며, 그마저도 주로 만관 혹은 만관에 가까운 상태에서의 흐름만이 고려되어 왔다. 하지만 대구경의 파형 강관이 우수 배관 및 하수 처리를 위하여 설치될 경우 개수로 흐름이 발생하게 된다. 이에, NPE 피복 파형강관과 내부평활 파형강관 내에서의 개수로 흐름을 다양한 유량 및 수심 변화를 통하여 생성하였으며, 각각의 수리학적 조건에서 통수능을 결정하는데 중요한 상수인 조도계수를 수리 실험을 실시하여 결정하였다. 이는 현재 국내에서 생산되고 있는 NPE 피복 파형강관과 내부 평활강관의 활용에 있어서 국제 경쟁력을 높이는데 큰 도움이 될 것이라 사료된다.

The method of nonlinear parameter estimation(NPE), which is a statistical and an inverse method, is used to estimate the thermal diffusivity of the porous insulation material. In order to apply the NPE method for measuring the thermal diffusivity, and algorithm for programing suitable to IBM personal computer is established, and is studied the statistical treatment of experimental data and theory of estimation. The experimental data obtained by discrete measurement using a constant heat flux technique are used to find the boundary conditions, initial conditions, and the thermal diffusivity, and then the final values are compared with the values obtained by some different methods. The results are presented as follows:(1) NPE method is used to establish the estimation of the thermal diffusivity and compared results with experimental output shows, that this method can be applicable to define the thermal diffusivity without considering hear flux types. (2) Because of all of the temperatures obtained by the discrete measurement on each steps of time are used to estimate the thermal diffusivity. Although some error in the temperature measurements of temperature are included in estimating process, its influences on the final value are minimzed in NPE method. (3) NPE method can reduce the experimental time including the time of data collecting in a few minutes and can take smaller specimen compared with steady state method. If the tube-type furnace is used, also the adjusting time of surrounding temperature can be reduced.

Polymer solar cells have attracted extensive attention over the past decade due to their benefits, such as good solution-process-ability, light weight, low-cost, mechanically flexibility, and high efficiency. Conjugated (CPE) and non-conjugated (NPE) polyelectrolyte materials have been employed to avoid the typical weaknesses associated with conventional metal oxide interlayers. However, the application of CPEs is more complicated than that of NPEs because the synthesis procedures are complicated. NPEs containing charged ion groups can provide numerous benefits for renewable energy applications. Especially when implemented in polymer solar cells.

In making emulsion-type pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA), environmentally friendly sorbitan nonionic surfactants having various chemical structures were prepared and used to find out the possibility of substituting the traditional nonyl-phenyl nonionic surfactant (NPE40) by comparing their adhesive properties. Results exhibited that the PSA used NSR10-series and Tween 60 showed better adhesive properties in initial ball tack, peel strength and holding power than those of NPE40. The reason for this is their particular chemical structure and the proper ratio of hydrophobic groups to the ethylene oxide groups.

The aim of this paper is to examine the behavior of the N-joints using square hollow sections and to improve the structural performance without reinforcing the joints. The selected parameters are the ratio of web to chord width, gap to chord width and eccentricity to chord width. Comparison between test results and codes shows the fact that the NPE-type has superior structural properties to the NSE-type in ultimate strength and deformation capacity. The experimental formulae based on the regression analysis are proposed. Ultimate strength formula employed in eurocode 3 is revised and proposed for the NSE-type. And ultimate strength formula including the eccentricity to chord width ratio which effects on the ultimate strength is proposed for the NPE-type.

Toxicity test for biodiesel (BD), biodiesel-derived neopentyl polyol ester (NPE) lubricant oil base, lubricant oil for diesel engine oil (LODE) and petroleum diesel (PD) was carried out using earthworm, Eisenia fefida. According to the method by OECD 207, the $LC_{50}$ values of BD and NPE were estimated as 2,450 and 1,528 mg/kg, respectively, which indicate that these compounds are classified as slightly toxic compounds. The $LC_{50}$ values of LODE and PD were estimated as 500 and 603mg/kg, respectively, showing that theses compounds are evaluated as moderately toxic compounds.
