Accidents due to aircraft fuel defects rank in the top 13 of the 34 accident types described by CAST-ICAO Common Taxonomy Team(CICTT). Aircraft accidents occur because of the inflow of moisture or pollutants depending on the distribution process and storage environment. To confirm the change in physical properties of the aircraft oil stored for a long time, we stored JET A-1 aircraft oil in a metal can to observe the change after six months. We confirmed that the aircraft oil stored for a long time satisfied the quality standards, and the stability of the fuel oil was high. However, in scenarios in which aircraft oil is stored separately on ships, onshore storage facilities, oil fields, etc., owing to the nature of missions, such as in marine police aircraft, the inflow of moisture or pollutants may likely occur due to changes in the internal and external environment. In addition, pollutants can be analyzed using existing tests and distillation properties, but for moisture, domestic and international standards and domestic laws determine the moisture separation ability of aircraft oil through the water separation index, but the moisture content is not analyzed. Therefore, aviation safety must be secured by adding quality control standards for moisture content and performing revisions to uniformize domestic and international standards and laws.

An experimental study of the skin friction measurement in a turbulent boundary-layer has been carried out. The skin friction measurements are made using the laser interferometer skin friction (LISF) meter, which optically detects the rate of thinning of an oil applied to the test surface. This technique produces reliable skin friction data over a wide range of flow situations up to 3-dimensional complicated flows with separation, where traditional skin friction measurement techniques are not applicable. The present measured data in a turbulent boundary-layer on a flat plate using the LISF technique shows a good comparison with the result from the previous velocity profile techniques, which proves the validity of the present technique. An extensive error analysis is carried out for the present technique yielding an uncertainty of about .+-.8%, which makes them suitable for CFD code validation purposes. Finally the measurements of the skin friction in a separated region after a surface-mounted obstacle are also presented.

[ $CO_2$ ] sequestration in oil reservoirs can be one of the most effective strategies for long-term removal of greenhouse gas from atmosphere. This paper presents an advantage of the localized nonlinear approximation of integral equation solutions for inverting crosswell electromagnetic data, which are observed as a part of pilot project of $CO_2$ flooding at the Lost Hills oil field in central California, U.S.A. To monitor the migration of $CO_2$, we have used 2-D cylindrically symmetric and 2.5-D tomographic inversion methods. These two schemes produce nearly the same images if the borehole separation is large compared with the skin depth. However, since the borehole separation is much less than five skin depths in this $CO_2$ injection experiment, the 2.5-D model seems to be more reliable than the 2-D model. In fact, the pre-injection 2.5-D image is more successfully compared with induction logs observed in the two wells than the 2-D model. From the time-lapse crosswell imaging, we can confirm the replacement of brine with $CO_2$ makes a decrease of conductivity.

We examined and compared the feasibility of vegetable oils with synthetic thermal conductive oils to recover highly purified copper metal from waste jelly-filled communication cables. While polydimethylsiloxane shows relatively poor separation efficiency under entire operating conditions, dibenzyltoluene and waste vegetable oil show the high separation efficiency if the appropriate operating temperature and time were given. By running 50 kg-class equipment with waste vegetable oils, we obtained 100% copper metal recovery with 99.2% purity at $300^{\circ}C$ for 60 min.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the treatability of contaminated groundwater with TPH and (or) $Cr^{6+}$. Laboratory scale tests were performed for oil/water separation, dissolved air flotation (DAF), coagulation and precipitation, and filtration with sand and activated carbon respectively. Two times of oil/water separation tests for total 40 minutes of separation or separating time shows 90.2 % of TPH removal rate. In case of DAF test for high TPH sample, the TPH removal rates were not varied significantly by the variation of microbubble size. However, tests for low TPH samples show that TPH removal rate increases as microbubbles are smaller. When coagulant was added to sample for DAF test, TPH removal rate was increased 12.3 %. SS removal rate by DAF was 97.9 % at $16-40{\mu}m$ and it was increased as the size of microbubble is reduced. Tests for coagulation and precipitation were performed to evaluate the removal of $Cr^{6+}$ in groundwater. The increase of $FeSO_4$ dosage increased $Cr^{6+}$ removal rate in the coagulation and precipitation process. As the amount of activated carbon in the filter media increased TPH removal rate in the filtration process. SS removal rate by the filtration was 96.7 % similar to the results of DAF process tests. The filtration process treats TPH and SS. Best design parameters are determined as the size of sand is $425-850{\mu}m$ and the ratio of activated carbon and sand is 50:50.

Sesame oil was sometimes replaced by mixed oil due to high price in Korean market. To find out authentic sesame oil, electronic nose (E-nose) based on mass spectrometer system was used. Sesame oil was blended with perilla oil at the ratio of 97:3, 94:6, 91:9, 88:12 and 85:15, respectively. Intensities of each fragment from sesame oil by E-nose based on MS were completely different from those of perilla oil. The obtained data was used for discriminant function analysis. For quantitative analysis, the partial least square algorithm was used. The added concentration of perilla oil to sesame oil was correlated with discriminant function first score (DF1) and second score (DF2). From this relationship it could be found out how much perilla oil added. DFA plot indicated a significant separation of pure sesame oil and pure perilla oil. The different geographical origin of sesame oil was used for blending with perilla oil were closed to that of sesame oil. Korean sesame oil mixture and Indian sesame oil one were well separated. And the correlation between mixing ratios and DF1 values was found at the ratio of 97:3, 91:9, and 85:15 (SE vs PE oil), respectively. But the added concentration of perilla oil to sesame oil was correlated with discriminant function first score (DF1). E-nose based on MS system could be used as an efficient method for purity of oil quality.

Light cycle Oil(LCO) contains 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene (2,6-DMNA) which is used as the basic material for high performance engineering plastics and liquid crystal polymer. This study was experimentally investigated to concentrate a mixture of dimethylnaphthalene(DMNA) isomers in the LCO by extraction-distillation combination as a pretreatment for separation and purification of 2,6-DMNA in the LCO. Furthermore, concentration of a mixture of DMNA isomers in the LCO compared between distillation and extraction-distillation combination. The recovery of aromatics in the LCO was performed by batch cocurrent multistage extraction with dimethylsulfoxide and water mixture as solvent. The concentration of naphthalene group(carbon number 10-12) in the extracted mixture is higher than that in the LCO. The yield for naphthalene group increased with decreasing carbon number. The yield for a mixture of DMNA isomers obtained in 5 equilibrium extration runs was about 65%. the separation of individual components with extractedmixture was tested by batch distillation. Futhermore, for recovery of a mixture of DMNA isomers of high concentration, distillate containing DMNA was distilled. As a result, a mixture of DMNA isomers with high concentration such as 60wt% was recovered. The extraction-distillation combination was more effective than the distillation to concentration a mixture of DMNA isomer in the LCO.

Purification of 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene(2,6-DMNA) from the distillate containing a mixture of dimethylnaphthalene(DMNA) isomers of very high concentration was investigated by crystallization-recrystallization combination as a after-treatment for separation and purification of 2,6-DMNA in the light cycle oil(LCO). The separation of individual isomers of DMNA was studied by crystallization with the distillate as a feed. 2,6-DMNA, 2,7-dimethylnaphthalene(2,7-DMNA) and 2,3-dimethylnaphthalene(2,3-DMNA) were concentrated to crystal, and it was fould that separation between a group of 2,6-, 2,7-, 2,3-DMNA isomers and a group of the other DMNA isomers was possible. However, it was not possible to separate 2,6-, 2,7- and 2,3-DMNA from one another. To select the most suitable recrystallization solvent for purification of 2,6-DMNA, several conventional solvents, which have been employed commercially as recrystallization solvents for high purity performance, were tested, through measurement of solubility of 2,6- and 2,7-DMNA. The solvent used were hexane, iso-propyl ether, ethyl acetate and ethanol. From the solubility results for 2,6- and 2,7-DMNA, ethanol seemed to be the most suitable solvent for purification of 2,6-DMNA. Finally, with crystal recovered by crystallization as a feed and ethanol as a solvent, recrystallization experiments were conducted under various conditions. Purification of 2,6-DMNA was easily done with increasing operating temperature and solvent to feed ratio. These results show that the crystallization-recrystallization combination is an effective one for separation of individual isomers of DMNA.

This paper proposes a design verification method based on system dynamics for offshore separation systems. Oil and gas separation systems are key components of offshore oil platforms; these systems determine the competitiveness of engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) projects, especially in terms of added value. However, previous research on design verification has been limited to the process and deliverables of design. To address this, the study aims to develop a comprehensive design verification method and the associated functions from the perspective of project management, for the entire project life-cycle of offshore structures. The proposed methodology for design verification is expected to contribute toward effective and detailed designs as well as improve the competitiveness of EPC companies in constructing of shore structures during the early design stages. We first analyzed the separation system of the FPSO using the design verification method adopted by advanced countries and compared it with the system dynamics process formalized as ISO 15288. Subsequently, a tailored process for the design verification of the offshore structure was derived. It is shown that the proposed design verification method can be applied to the front-end engineering design process of of shore structures. Moreover, it can contribute toward the successful performance of offshore projects in the future and also minimize design changes and critical risks during the construction of these offshore structures.

In the present study, effects of tree-stream turbulence and surface trip wire on the flow past a sphere at $Re\;=\;0.4\;{\times}\;10^5\;{\sim}\;2.8\;{\times}\;10^5$ are investigated through wind tunnel experiments. Various types of grids are installed upstream of the sphere in order to change the tree-stream turbulence intensity. In the case of surface trip wire, 0.5mm and 2mm trip wires are attached from $20^{\circ}\;{\sim}\;90^{\circ}$ at $10^{\circ}$ interval along the streamwise direction. To investigate the flow around a sphere, drag measurement using a load cell, surface-pressure measurement, surface visualization using oil-flow pattern and near-wall velocity measurement using an I-type hot-wire probe are conducted. In the variation of free-stream turbulence, the critical Reynolds number decreases and drag crisis occurs earlier with increasing turbulence intensity. With increasing Reynolds number, the laminar separation point moves downstream, but the reattachment point after laminar separation and the main separation point are fixed, resulting in constant drag coefficient at each free-stream turbulence intensity. At the supercritical regime, as Reynolds number is further increased, the separation bubble is regressed but the reattachment and the main separation points are fixed. In the case of surface trip wire directly disturbing the boundary layer flow, the critical Reynolds number decreases further with trip wire located more downstream. However, the drag coefficient after drag crisis remains constant irrespective of the trip location.
