This study was carried out to develop a self-propelled type explosive subsoiler for improving the root zone soil conditions in orchard and other forest fields. Prototype was designed to be able to inject air and other soil improving material such as lime into soil at the same time, and thus improve the air permeability and drainage of orchard soils to promote the root growth of tree for high quality fruit production. Soil penetration device of explosive subsoiler is composed of air hammer, penetration rob and air injection nozzle. To support the soil penetration device of explosive subsoiler to penetrate vertically, modified Scott-Russel mechanism was used. Timing control device for simultaneous injection of soil improving material with air was attached to the out side wall of air cylinder and as the cylinder move, the soil improving material was injected into soil at the same time. Turning radius of prototype was 2.2-2.3 m with good mobility in sloped land. It took approximately 1 minute for lime injection system to reach the optimum pressure of 9.9 kg/$cm^2$, average 10-20 seconds were required to rupture soil with the depth of 50 cm and 2-3 seconds were required for explosion, so all in all about 1 minute and 20 seconds were required for one cycle of explosion. Maximum soil rupture depth and diameter were 50 cm and 3-4 m respectively depending on the soil type and soil moisture content. For final design of explosive subsoiler inclination angle of lime hopper was increased from 60 degree to 70 degree and the shape of hopper was changed from rectangular cone to circular cone to solve the clogging problem of lime at out let. Agitating system operated by compressed air was attached to the metering device of the prototype, thus more than 90 cc of lime was discharged per cycle from metering device without clogging problems.

The present study investigates convective heat/mass transfer and flow characteristics inside a cooling passage of rotating gas-turbine blades. The rotating duct has staggered ribs with $70^{\circ}$ attack angle, which are attached on leading and trailing surfaces. Naphthalene sublimation technique is employed to determine detailed local heat transfer coefficients using the heat and mass transfer analogy. Additional numerical calculations are conducted to analyze the flow patterns in the cooling passage. The present experiments employ two-surface heating conditions in the rotating duct because the exposed surfaces to hot gas stream are pressure and suction side surfaces in the middle passages of an actual gas-turbine blade. Secondary flows are generated by Coriolis and centrifugal forces in the spanwise and streamwise directions. The ribs attached on the walls disturb the mainflow resulting in recirculation and secondary flows near the ribbed wall. The local heat transfer and flow patterns in the passage are changed significantly according to rib configurations and duct rotation speeds. Therefore, the geometry and arrangement of the ribs are important for the advantageous cooling performance. The experimental results show that the ribs enhance the heat transfer more than $70\%$ from that of the smooth duct. The duct rotation generates the heat transfer discrepancy between the leading and trailing walls due to the secondary flows induced by the Coriolis force. The overal heat transfer pattern on the leading and trailing walls for the first and second passes are depended on the rotating speed, but the local heat transfer trend is affected mainly by the rib arrangements.

The echinostome metacercariae encysted in Cipangopaludina sp. snails that were purchased from a market in Vientiane Municipality, Lao PDR, were identified as Echinostoma macrorchis (Digenea: Echinostomatidae) through recovery of adult flukes after experimental infection to rats and a cat. The metacercariae were round, $113-128(121){\times}113-125(120){\mu}m$, having a thick cyst wall, a head collar armed with collar spines, and excretory granules. The adult flukes recovered from the rats and cat at day 14 and 30 post-infection, respectively, were elongated, ventrally curved, and $3.9-6.3{\times}0.7-1.1mm$ in size. The head collar was distinct, bearing 43-45 collar spines with 5 angle spines on each side. Two testes were large (as the name implies), tandem, and slightly constricted at the middle, with irregular margins. Eggs were operculated, ovoid to elliptical, and $88-95{\times}56-60{\mu}m$. In scanning electron microscopy, the head collar was prominent, with 43-45 collar spines. Scale-like tegumental spines were densely distributed on the ventral surface between the oral and ventral suckers. Sensory papillae were distributed mainly on the tegument around the 2 suckers. It is confirmed that E. macrorchis is distributed in Lao PDR using Cipangopaludina sp. snails as the second intermediate host.

As sustainable design technologies, advanced daylighting systems with lightshelves have been developed and are currently under monitoring the daylighting performance. This study aims to evaluate the comparative daylighting performance of sloped lightshelf and conventional glazing window with mock-up model, reconstructed as a prototype of Korean office building, sized $12.0m{\times}7.3m{\times}3.7m$ ($w{\times}d{\times}h$) and $1.8m{\times}4.8m$($w{\times}h$) for the south facing side-window was installed on the rooftop of engineering building, Kyung Hee University in Korea. It has an identical configuration of reference room and the test room. For the test room, the sloped type lightshelf system was designed as 10mm transparency sheet glass, tilt angle degree $29^{\circ}$, and total sized 1.28m (interior length 0.88m, exterior length 0.49m). It consisted of daylighting collector, entrance glazing and reflector. To assess daylighting performance, the totally 37 measuring points for illuminance and 2 view points of luminance were monitored in every 30 minutes from 12:00 to 15:00. For the detailed analysis, photometric sensors of each room were installed at work-plane (8 points), wall (7 points), ceiling (3points), and exterior horizontal illuminance (1 point). Luminance of window, rare of the room was measured under clear sky. It is to be monitored by Agilent data logger, photometric sensor Li-cor and the Radiant Imaging ProMetric 1400. Comparisons with a light factor, increase-decrease ratio, uniformity, and luminance are discussed.

In this paper, we propose a method to optimize the geometry and installation position of the mixer in the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system by computational fluid dynamic(CFD). Using the commercial CFD software of CFD-ACE+, the flow dynamics of the flue gas was numerically analyzed for improving the injection uniformity of the reduction agent. Numerical analysis of the mixed gas heat flow into the upstream side of the primary SCR catalyst layer was performed when the denitrification facility was operated. The characteristics such as the flow rate, temperature, pressure loss and ammonia concentration of the mixed gas consisting of the flue gas and the ammonia reducing gas were examined at the upstream of the catalyst layer of SCR. The temperature difference on the surface of the catalyst layer is very small compared to the flow rate of the exhaust gas, and the temperature difference caused by the reducing gas hardly occurs because the flow rate of the reducing gas is very small. When the mixed gas is introduced into the SCR reactor, there is a slight tendency toward one wall. When the gas passes through the catalyst layer having a large pressure loss, the flow angle of the exhaust gas changes because the direction of the exhaust gas changes toward a smaller flow. Based on the uniformity of the flow rate of the mixed gas calculated at the SCR, it is judged that the position of the test port reflected in the design is proper.

This research work presents an experimental study's outcomes to reveal the impact of an O-ring on the flow control over a sphere placed in a turbulent boundary layer. The investigation is performed quantitatively and qualitatively using particle image velocimetry (PIV) and dye visualization. The sphere model having a diamater of 42.5 mm is located in a turbulent boundary layer flow over a smooth plate for gap ratios of 0≤G/D≤1.5 at Reynolds number of 5 × 10³. Flow characteristics, including patterns of instantaneous vorticity, streaklines, time-averaged streamlines, velocity vectors, velocity fluctuations, Reynolds stress correlations, and turbulence kinetic energy (), are compared and discussed for a naked sphere and spheres having O-rings. The boundary layer velocity gradient and proximity of the sphere to the flat plate profoundly influence the flow dynamics. At proximity ratios of G/D=0.1 and 0.25, a wall jet is formed between lower side of the sphere and flat plate, and velocity fluctuations increase in regions close to the wall. At G/D=0.25, the jet flow also induces local flow separations on the flat plate. At higher proximity ratios, the velocity gradient of the boundary layer causes asymmetries in the mean flow characteristics and turbulence values in the wake region. It is observed that the O-ring with various placement angles (𝜃) on the sphere has a considerable alteration in the flow structure and turbulence statistics on the wake. At lower placement angles, where the O-ring is closer to the forward stagnation point of the sphere, the flow control performance of the O-ring is limited; however, its impact on the flow separation becomes pronounced as it is moved away from the forward stagnation point. At G/D=1.50 for O-ring diameters of 4.7 (2 mm) and 7 (3 mm) percent of the sphere diameter, the -ring exhibits remarkable flow control at 𝜃=50° and 𝜃=55° before laminar flow separation occurrence on the sphere surface, respectively. This conclusion is yielded from narrowed wakes and reductions in turbulence statistics compared to the naked sphere model. The O-ring with a diameter of 3 mm and placement angle of 50° exhibits the most effective flow control. It decreases, in sequence, streamwise velocity fluctuations and length of wake recovery region by 45% and 40%, respectively, which can be evaluated as source of decrement in drag force.

본 연구는 주기적 강제 진동이 가해지는 표면의 액적 모드 특성과 표면에 놓인 액적의 제거에 대한 조건을 실험적으로 이해하는 것을 목적으로 하고 있다. 액적의 거동을 명확하게 관찰하기 위해 아크릴 표면에 Teflon 코팅을 진행하여 접촉각을 높였고, 히스테리시스는 25도 이내로 진행하여 액적의 거동이 보다 쉽게 진행되도록 하였다. 본 실험은 먼지가 적은 청정실에서 실험이 진행되었다. 제작된 소수성 표면에 놓인 액적의 실제 공진 주파수를 예측하기 위해 이론 및 실험적 해석을 통해 두 접근방법의 타당성을 파악하였으며, 두 개의 초고속카메라를 액적의 상면과 측면에 설치하여 2가지 측면에서 액적의 다양한 형상 변형 특성- 모드 형상, 분리, 미소 액적의 발생, 그리고 좌우 비틀림의 특성을 관찰하였다. 이론 값 비교결과 실제 공진 주파수 값들의 차이가 약 18% 이하로 관찰되었으며, 이러한 차이는 접촉선 마찰, 비선형 벽 고착, 실험의 불확실성 등에 가장 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 판단된다. 사용된 스피커에 상대적으로 낮은 전압을 인가할 경우 액적의 접촉선은 고정된 상태에서 좌우 대칭적인 액적 형상진동이 나타났다. 반면, 높은 전압을 인가할 경우 액적의 접촉선은 비고정된 상태가 되면서 더 활발한 형상 진동이 나타났다. 가진 주파수가 모드 주파수와 일치할 경우에는 액적의 로브 크기가 주변부 주파수 일 때 보다 비교적으로 컸으며, 같은 전압을 인가 할 경우, 표면에 놓인 액적의 미소 액적 발생 및 완전한 제거는 2차 모드에서만 진행되는 것을 실험을 통해 규명하였다.

양서류는 생태학적으로 육상생태계와 육수생태계를 연결하는 분류군이며, 생태계 먹이사슬에서 매우 중요한 역할을 수행하고 있다. 전 세계적으로 약 5,948종이 분포하는 것으로 알려져 있으나, 산업혁명 이후 산업화와 도시화로 인하여 종 및 개체군의 감소가 발생하고 있으며, 특히, 인공 수로에 의한 서식처 단절 또는 파편화를 심화시키는 요인이 되고 있어 인공 수로 내 야생동물 생존성 향상을 위하여 수로 탈출시설을 설치하여 저감하고 있다. 본 연구는 주로 산림 인근에서 서식하는 무당개구리를 대상으로 수로 탈출시설의 경사각, 수로 높이, 운영 중인 시설에서의 탈출률 및 이동 거리를 분석하였다. 수로 탈출시설의 경사각은 50° 및 60°에서는 높이와 상관없이 비교적 유사한 탈출 성공률을 나타내는 반면에 경사각 70°에서는 높이 40cm에서만 비교적 높은 탈출 성공률을 나타났다. 운영 중인 수로 탈출시설에서의 탈출 성공률은 14.71%로 이용률은 매우 저조한 것으로 나타났으며, 수로 측면 벽을 따라 이동함으로써 수로 탈출시설의 인지율이 매우 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 그러므로 무당개구리를 위한 수로 탈출시설의 경우 60° 각도로 조성 가능하며, 인공 수로의 측면 벽을 60° 이내로 조성할 경우 무당개구리의 양방향 이동이 자유로움으로 기존의 수로 탈출시설의 낮은 이용률을 극복하고 수로의 이동 및 고사로 인한 영향을 최소화할 것으로 판단된다. 또한, 수로 탈출시설 간격을 설치 기준인 30m보다 간격을 좁히고, 경사로를 상·하류 양방향으로 조성하게 되면, 무당개구리 이외의 양서류, 파충류, 소형 포유류 등의 탈출 성공률이 향상될 것으로 판단된다.

단층 등 취약지반 조건에서의 터널굴착 시 터널천단 및 측벽변위의 억제를 목적으로 하는 각부보강공이 일반적으로 적용되고 있으며, 터널 단면증가 변화율에 따른 각부보강공 설치각도 및 길이를 고려한 지보안전성 확인을 위한 주요 인자로서 내공변위 천단침하 각부침하 각부축력 등의 여러 응력변위 특성 변수들이 있다. 이러한 굴착중 안전성확인을 위한 변수들에 대한 검토 결과, 우각부 침하영향성이 단면증가율 보다 더 큰 변위경향을 보이는 가장 중요한 중점관리 지배요소로 분석되었으며, 터널단면 증가 변화율에 대한 각 보강공 길이별 축력의 변화관점에서는 큰 연관성을 보여주지 못하는 터널단면 증가율 대비 작은 증가율을 나타냈다. 또한, 각부 보강공 축력의 발생경향은 터널 단면증가율보다 보강공 마찰지지 개념 메커니즘에 따른 거동 영향성을 보여주는 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구결과, 일정한 길이의 각부 보강공이 선정될 경우 지반불량 구간에서의 터널 단면이 다소 대단면화하여도 무리하게 각부보강공의 길이를 연장시키지 않는 것이 시공성 및 경제성을 고려한 보다 더 합리적인 방법으로 판단된다.
