The flow fields inside a molten Zn pot of continuous hot-chip galvanizing process were investigated experimentally. With varying several parameters including the strip speed Vs, flow rate Q of induction heater. scrapper location and baffle configuration, instantaneous velocity fields were measured using a PIV velocity field measurement technique. Inside the strip region, counter-clockwise rotating flow is dominant. The general flow pattern inside the strip region is nearly not influenced by the strip speed Vs, flow rate Q and the scrapper location. In the exit region, the flow separated from the moving strip due to the existence of a stabilizing roll ascends to the free surface, for the cases of no scrapper and scrapper detached form the roll. On the other hand, the ascending flow to the free surface is decreased, as the flow rate Q of induction heater increases. By installing a baffle around the uprising strip, the flow moving up to the stabilizing roll decreases. In addition, B-type baffle is better than A-type baffle in reducing speed of flow around the stabilizing rolls. However, the flow ascended to the free surface is largely influenced by changing the flow rate Q, and the scrapper location, irrespective of the baffle type.

본 연구는 축산분뇨 퇴비화시 부자재인 톱밥을 석탄회로 대체하기 위하여 수행하였다. 축산분뇨와 톱밥의 혼합비율을 부피비 1:1로 고정하고 이때 톱밥을 어느 정도 석탄회로 대체 가능한지를 조사하였다. 각 혼합비율에 대해 조사된 톱밥과 석탄회의 혼합비율은 부피비로 40:10, 35:15, 30:20, 25:25, 20:30, 15:35, 10:40이었다. 축사에서 스크레퍼 방식과 슬러리 방식에 의하여 배출되는 축산분뇨, 톱밥과 석탄회를 앞에서와 같은 혼합비율로 섞은 부자재를 부피비 1:1로 혼합하여 퇴비화하면서 온도, 수분, pH, 유기물, 질소 및 유기물/질소 비 등을 조사하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 온도의 변화는 슬러리 방식보다 스크레파 방식에서 톱밥비율이 높을수록 빨리 최고온도($63.5^{\circ}C$)에 도달하였다. 수분 함량의 변화는 스크레파 방식 및 슬러리 방식 공히 톱밥과 석탄회를 부피비로 동일비율(1:1) 혼합하였을 때 42 %와 54 % 범위의 수분함량으로 발효에 비교적 좋은 조건을 유지하였다. pH는 분뇨, 톱밥, 석탄회 비율 50 : 25 : 25 투입시 전체적으로 pH 7~10으로 약알카리성 내지 알카리성이었다. 유기물함량은 톱밥 혼입량이 석탄회보다 많을수록 증가되나 퇴비화가 진행됨에 따라 별다른 변화는 보이지 않았다. 질소함량은 톱밥 혼입량 증가에 따라 늘어났으나, 발효과정 진행에 따라서는 일정한 경향을 나타내지 않았다. 유기물/질소 비는 톱밥 혼입량이 증가할수록 증가하였지만, 발효과정 중 큰 변화는 볼 수 없었다.

Benthic macro invertebrate communities were collected at six different sampling sites in the Musucheon stream in Korea from July 2006 to July 2007, and ecological exergy values were calculated based on five different functional feeding groups (collector-gatherer, collector-filterer, predator, scrapper, and shredder) of benthic macro invertebrates. Each sampling site was categorized to three stream types (perennial, intermittent and drought) based on the water flow condition. Exergy values were low at all study sites right after a heavy rain and relatively higher in the perennial stream type than in the intermittent or the drought stream type. Self-Organizing Map (SOM), unsupervised artificial neural network, was implemented to pattern spatial and temporal dynamics of ecological exergy of the study sites. SOM classified samples into four clusters. The classification reflected the effects of floods and droughts on benthic macroinvertebrate communities, and was mainly related with the stream types of the sampling sites. Exergy values of each functional feeding group also responded differently according to the different stream types. Finally, the results showed that exergy is an effective ecological indicator, and patterning changes of exergy using SOM is an effective way to evaluate target ecosystems.

Anaerobic digestion is one of the well-known methods for biological treatment handling of concentrated organic matter such as swine $wastewater.^{1)} The anaerobic digestion can reduce organic loading but also hydrolyze non-biodegradable organic $matter.^{2)}$ The feces from the scrapper-type barn are usually collected to make compost and the urine is discarded with swine-slurry wastewater by ocean-dumping or treated by biological methods. The lagoon, aerobic digestion, anaerobic digestion, SBR, $A^{2}/O$, and UCT have been applied for treating swine $wastewater.^{3)} In this study, as a result of the analysis of swine wastewater, the total and soluble chemical oxygen demand was 130g/L and 60g/L, respectively. And the volatile fatty acid as chemical oxygen demand equivalent was 45g/L, which was 75% of soluble chemical oxygen demand. Before everything else, ammonia nitrogen concentration was 6.5 g/L. From biochemical acidogenic potential test, it was concluded that the enhanced acidification process to manage swine waste should be operated in the ammonia nitrogen concentration of less than 1.2 g/L. In the result of seeding ratio experiments with artificial $wastewater^{4)}, the lag period of acidogens was taken the long time because of the inhibition by the $ammonia^{5)}$, however no difference of period by the seeding ratio was not shown. The Haldane-based biokinetics were also evaluated using a method of fourth order Runge-Kutta $approximation.^{6,7)}$ The nonlinear least squares (NLLS) method with a 95% confidence interval was also used. The ranges of maximum microbial growth rate, ${/mu_{max}}$, and half saturation coefficient, $K_{s}$, for acidogenesis of various seeding ratio with artificial wastewater were 6.1 ~ 12.6 $d^{-1}$ and 45,000 ~ 53,500 mg glucose/L, respectively. Also, the methanogenic microbial yield coefficient, Y, and microbial decay rate coefficient, $k_{d}$, and inhibition substrate concentration, $K_{si}$, for the reactors were determined to be 0.32 ~ 0.465 ${/mu}g$/mg glucose; 0.42 ~ 1.01 $d^{-1}$ and 51,500 ~ 55,600 mg glucose/L, respectively.
