The aim of this work was to evaluate the dielectric properties of impregnated and activated palm kernel shells (PKSs) samples using two activating agents, potassium carbonate ($K_2CO_3$) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH), at three impregnation ratios. The materials were characterized by moisture content, carbon content, ash content, thermal profile and functional groups. The dielectric properties were examined using an open-ended coaxial probe method at various microwave frequencies (1-6 GHz) and temperatures (25, 35, and $45^{\circ}C$). The results show that the dielectric properties varied with frequency, temperature, moisture content, carbon content and mass ratio of the ionic solids. PKSK1.75 (PKS impregnated with $K_2CO_3$ at a mass ratio of 1.75) and PKSN1.5 (PKS impregnated with NaOH at a mass ratio of 1.5) exhibited a high loss tangent ($tan{\delta}$) indicating the effectiveness of these materials to be heated by microwaves. $K_2CO_3$ and NaOH can act as a microwave absorber to enhance the efficiency of microwave heating for low loss PKSs. Materials with a high moisture content exhibit a high loss tangent but low penetration depth. The interplay of multiple operating frequencies is suggested to promote better microwave heating by considering the changes in the materials characteristics.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to do numerical analysis of the wavelength dependence in low level laser therapy (LLLT) using a finite element method (FEM). Methods: Numerical analysis of heat transfer based on a Pennes' bioheat equation was performed to assess the wavelength dependence of effects of LLLT in a single layer and in multilayered tissue that consists of skin, fat and muscle. The three different wavelengths selected, 660 nm, 830 nm and 980 nm, were ones that are frequently used in clinic settings for the therapy of musculoskeletal disorders. Laser parameters were set to the power density of 35.7 W/$cm^2$, a spot diameter of 0.06 cm, and a laser exposure time of 50 seconds for all wavelengths. Results: Temperature changes in tissue based on a heat transfer equation using a finite element method were simulated and were dominantly dependent upon the absorption coefficient of each tissue layer. In the analysis of a single tissue layer, heat generation by fixed laser exposure at each wavelength had a similar pattern for increasing temperature in both skin and fat (980 nm > 660 nm > 830 nm), but in the muscle layer 660nm generated the most heat (660 nm ${\gg}$ 980 nm > 830 nm). The heat generation in multilayered tissue versus penetration depth was shown that the temperature of 660 nm wavelength was higher than those of 830 nm and 980 nm Conclusion: Numerical analysis of heat transfer versus penetration depth using a finite element method showed that the greatest amount of heat generation is seen in multilayered tissue at = 660 nm. Numerical analysis of heat transfer may help lend insight into thermal events occurring inside tissue layers during low level laser therapy.

이천온천원보호지구에는 9개의 온천공이 개발되어 있다. MRD-2 온천공이 996 m 심도까지 추가 굴착되기 이전의 온천공들의 굴착 심도는 166-294 m 범위였으며, 지하수면은 지표로부터 약 50m 정도 하부에 위치하였다. 이들 온천공에서 지표 온도와 공저온도를 이용한 연구지역의 지온경사는 최고 $64^{\circ}C/km$ (SB-2 온천공), 최저 $45^{\circ}C/km$ (SB-1 온천공), 평균 $54.28^{\circ}C/km$로 산정되었다. 그러나 심부까지 추가 굴착된 MRD-2 온천공을 관찰한 결과, 연구지역은 지표로부터 720 m 심도 이내 범위의 암반 균열계에 의해 매우 심한 열적 교란상태를 겪고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이에 반하여, 심도 720 m 이하의 심부지역에서는 지하수의 유동이 존재하지 않는 것으로 관찰되었다. 따라서 연구지역의 지온경사는 열적으로 안정된 720 m 이하의 심도 구간 자료를 이용하여 $33^{\circ}C/km$로 재산정 되었으며, 이 값이 연구지역인 이천온천원지구에서의 합리적인 지온경사로 해석된다. 양수시험시 측정된 용출온도 $36^{\circ}C$는 지표하 720 m 심도에서의 온도 검층 결과와 일치되어 이 지점이 지하수 유동 및 열적 교란의 하부 경계가 되고 있음을 뒷받침하고 있다.

The aim of this study is to evaluate wavelength dependence for laser-assisted lipolysis using a mathematical simulation. In this study, a Monte Carlo simulation was performed to simulate light transport in fat and dermal tissue with 3 different laser wavelengths (${\lambda}\;=\;1064\;nm$, 1320 nm, and 1444 nm) that are currently used in clinic settings for laser-assisted lipolysis. The relative rates of heat generation versus penetration depth showed that the greatest amount of heat generation was seen in the tissues at ${\lambda}\;=\;1444\;nm$. This Monte Carlo simulation may help lend insight into the thermal events occurring inside the fat and dermal tissue during laser-assisted lipolysis.

Green-emitting $ZnGa_2O_4$ : Mn phosphors were synthesized by a thermal method and their low-voltage cathodoluminescent characteristics were examined for the field emitter display (FED) application. Low efficiency of $ZnGa_2O_4$ : Mn phosphors could be ascribed to the low penetration depth of into phosphors, which might results in charge accumulation on the phosphors screen. For increasing cathodoluminescent of $ZnGa_2O_4$ : Mn under low voltage excitation, wide band-gap oxide materials were added to the $ZnGa_2O_4$: Mn powder. It is found that the luminance can be increased by 20%. Measurement of leakage current on the phosphor screen shows that the enhancement of low-voltage cathodoluminescent by additive materials is mainly due to the consumption of surface charges on the phosphor.

A thermoacoustic refrigerator has not only considerable feasibility but also commercial usability, because it has high reliability, lower vibration, no moving part. and easy construction. In the present study, the resonant characteristics of a thermoacoustic refrigerator, varying the length of resonant tube from 400mm to 850mm, were investigated to improve performance. In order to determine the optimum position of the stack in the resonant tube and the optimum frequency, the simple open-tube-type thermoacoustic refrigerator was constructed. Air was used as a coolant. In the fifth harmonic, the largest $\DeltaT$ was $52.6^{\circ}C$ at 827Hz, tube length of 400mm, and stack length of 40mm.

Molten corium-concrete interaction (MCCI) is one of the most important phenomena that can lead to the potential hazard of late containment failure due to basemat penetration during a severe accident. In this study, MCCI analytical models of the CORQUENCH code were prepared through verification calculations of several experiments, which had been performed using concrete types similar to those of the calandria vault floor in CANDU-6 plants. The behaviors of thermal-hydraulic variables related to MCCI phenomena were analyzed under the conditions of dry floor and water flooding during the severe accident stemming from a hypothetic station blackout. Uncertainty analyses on the ablation depth were also carried out. It was estimated that the concrete ablation was not interrupted due to the continuous MCCI process under the dry condition but was terminated within 24 hours under the water flooding condition. It was confirmed that the water flooding as a mitigating action was effective to achieve the quenching and thermal stabilization of the melt discharged from the calandria vessel, showing that the present models are capable of reasonably simulating MCCI phenomena in CANDU-6 plants. This study is expected to provide the technical bases to the accident management strategy during the late-phase severe accidents.
