본 연구에서는 온실의 온풍식 난방시스템 연통에 장착할 수 있는 폐열 회수기의 성능 개선을 목적으로 기 설계된 세 가지 열교환 장치와 기존의 장치에서 열교환 면적과 파이프의 두께 및 공기흐름 방향을 개량한 새 열교환 장치에 대해 열회수 성능을 실험적으로 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과 기존의 열 교환장치인 A형, B형 및 C형의 열회수 성능은 동일 송풍전입에서 각각 42.2%, 40.6% 및 54.4% 정도였으나 , 새로 개량된 D형은 69.2%로써 가장 현저히 높게 나타났다. 그러나 열회수용 공기의 흐름방향 변화에 따른 열회수 성능 개선효과 (A형 대비 B형)는 없는 것으로 나타나 적정 송풍기 용량이라면 직선형이 공기의 흐름방향 180${\circ}C$ 굴절시키는 헤어핀형보다 효과적인 것으로 판단된다. 결국 열회수 성능은 열회수 시스템의 열교환 면적과 열교환 파이프의 두께 및 풍속에 크게 좌우되는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 열교환 파이프의 내구성 등 을 고려하여 기능한 한 범위 내에서 열 교환면적을 증대시키거나 열교환 파이프의 두께를 앓게 하고 풍속을 증대시키는 것이 열회수 성능 개선효과와 직결됨을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 송풍기 용량이 필요이상으로 큰 경우, 소비전력이 많게 되는 등의 문제가 있기 때문에 적정용량 및 제품의 안정성을 고려하여 선택해야 할 것으로 판단되었다.

The clarify the ecological properties, and to predict change of understory vegetation of mt. Nam Park, population dynamics and interspecific competition of D. smilacinum and D. viridescens, which grow in understory of deciduous broad-leaved forest and pseudo-annuals, were studied from May 20 to May 30 1998. The depth of litter layer, soil moisture content, soil organic matter and soil texture were surveyed in 18 populations (15 D. smilacinum populations and 3 D. viridescens populations). Mean litter layer of d. smilacimum population was thinner than that of D. viridescens populations). Mean litter layer of D. smilacnum population was thinner than that of D. viridescens population. The contents of soil moisture and organic matter of D. smilacinum population were lower than that of D. viridescens population. The D. smilacinum growed in broad range of soil texture but D. viridescens in loamy soil. Because D. smilacinum could tolerate more broad range of soil moisture and soil texture than D. viridescens, the former covered the herb layer in earlier stage and the latter introduced in later stage when rhizome could grow easily. The numbers of individual in two marginal parts were smaller than that in center in same D. smilacinum patch. And the total numbers of individuals grown in (10 ${\times}$ 10)cm were from 0 to 12. The rhizome (subterranean runner) weight, rhizome length, root weight, shoot weight, lea weight and leaf number per subquadrat (cell) increased along the number of individual, that is, increased from marginal part to center. But rhizome weight and rhizome length per individual were vice versa. Therefore, the individuals in marginal part reproduced longer and stronger asexual propagules than that in center. The distribution pattern of D. smilacinum was contageous and that of D. viridescens was random or regular. Therefore, population growth of former was independent on density and that of latter was dependent on density. The distributions of size-class showed normal curves in two population, but the curves based on data of total dry weight showed positive skewness and those of leaf number showed negative skewness The correlation coefficient (CC) values between the properties of each organ were high in two population and significant at 0.1% level. The CC values of D. viridescens were higher of the two. Therefore, the former allocated the energy to each organ stable. The rhizome depth of d. viridescens was 2 times deeper than that of D. smilacinum. And rhizome length and weight of D. viridescens were longer (2 times) or heavier (4 times) than those of D. smilacinum. The patch size of D. viridescens increased 60 cm per year and that of D. smilacinum 30 cm. On this results, the intrinsic increase velocity of d. viridescens patch was 2 times faster than that of d. smilacinum, therefore, on the competition, the former had an advantage over D. smilacinum. The reason why d. viridescens defeated D. smilacinum resulted from that the leaf area of former was 4 times broader than that of latter. in Mt. Nam Park, it was thought that two disporum Population would change with the 3 thpes of environmental change as followings. First, no human impact and increase of soil moisture content resulted in increase of D. viridescens population. Second, mild human impact and similar condition of soil moisture content resulted in slow increase or no changes of D. smilacinum and d. viridescens population. Third, severe human impact and dry condition resulted in decrease or vanishment of two disporum populations.

Slot coating process, in continuous and patch modes, has been applied for the many precise coating products, e.g., flat panel displays and second batteries. However, manufacturing uniform coating products is not a trivial task at high-speed operations because various flow instabilities or defects such as leaking, bubbles, ribbing, and rivulets are frequently observed in this process. It is no wonder, therefore, that many efforts to understand the various aspects of dynamics and coating windows of this process have been made both in academia and industry. In this study, as the first topic, flow dynamics within the coating bead in slot coating process has been investigated using the one-dimensional viscocapillary model by lubrication approximation and two-dimensional model by Flow-3D software. Especially, operability windows in both 1D and 2D cases with various slot die lip designs have been successfully portrayed. Also, effects of process conditions like viscosity and coating gap size on slot coating window have been analyzed. Also, some experiments to find minimum coating thickness and coating windows have been conducted using slot die coater implemented with flow visualization device, corroborating the numerical results. As the second topic, flow dynamics of both Newtonian and Non-Newtonian fluids in patch or pattern slot coating process, which is employed in manufacturing IT products such as secondary batteries, has been investigated for the purpose of optimal process designs. As a matter of fact, the flow control in this system is more difficult than in continuous case because od its transient or time-dependent nature. The internal die and die lip designs for patterned uniform coating products have been obtained by controlling flow behaviors of coating liquids issuing from slot. Numerical simulations have been performed using Fluent and Flow-3D packages. Flow behavior and pressure distribution inside the slot die has been compared with various die internal shapes and geometries. In the coating bead region, efforts to reduce irregular coating defects in head and tail parts of one patterned coating unit have been tried by changing die lip shapes. It has been concluded that optimal die internal design gas been developed, guaranteeing uniform velocity distribution of both Newtonian and shear thinning fluids at the die exit. And also optimal die lip design has been established, providing the longer uniform coating layer thickness within one coating unit.

본 연구에서는 한강수계의 팔당호에 3차원 시변화 모델을 적용하였으며, 상이한 강우 및 유량 조건에서의 실측자료를 이용하여 적용 모델의 재현성을 검토하였다. 모델의 보정 및 검증 결과 모델 예측값은 실측간과 적절한 일치를 보였으며, 재현성이 검토된 모델 결과를 바탕으로 팔당호의 수온, 유속, 체류시간의 시 공간적 분포와 유입지류의 흐름 특성을 분석하였다. 팔당호 수표면에서는 일반적으로 소내섬 남쪽 수역에서 다른 수역에 비해 다소 높은 수온과 낮은 유속이 유지되는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 소내섬 남쪽 수역과 남한강 수역 하류 부분에서는 연중 대부분의 기간 동안 국지적으로 긴 체류시간이 유지되고 있으며, 이는 이들 수역에서 블로킹으로 인한 상류 방향으로의 역류가 발생하기 때문인 것으로 분석되었다. 한편 팔당호에서는 초여름과 겨울에 약한 수온성층이 형성되며, 초봄과 가을에는 성층이 파괴되어 전 수층에서 유사한 수온을 보이나 댐 방류의 영향으로 인해 수체의 수직 혼합은 발생하지 않았다. 집중 강우가 발생하는 여름철에는 유입 및 유출량의 급격한 증가로 인해 수온 성층이 파괴되며, 전 수역에서 체류시간이 크게 감소하는 것으로 예측되었다. 이러한 수체 흐름 하에서 남, 북한강 그리고 경안천은 각각 다른 방향으로부터 팔당호로 유입된 후 구별된 흐름 경로를 통해 댐까지 이동하게 되며, 특히 경안천은 소내섬 남쪽 수역에서 유입된 후 댐에 이르기까지 일반적으로 소내섬 서쪽 호반을 따라 표층을 중심으로 이동하는 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구 결과 팔당호는 수온, 유속 그리고 체류시간의 시 공간적 변화가 매우 심하며, 수온 성층의 발달이 미약하나 유입지류의 수온 차이로 인해 밀도류가 형성되는 것으로 나타났다.

Flow and spray characteristics are critical factors that affect the performance and exhaust emissions of a direct injection diesel engine. It is well known that the swirl control system is one of the useful ways to improve the fuel consumption and emission reduction rate in a diesel engine. However, until now there have only been a few studies on the effect of flow on spray. Because of this, the relationship between the flow pattern in the cylinder and its influence on the behavior of the spray is in need of investigation. First, in-cylinder flow distributions for 4-valve cylinder head of DI (Direct Injection) Diesel engine were investigated under steady-state conditions for different SCV (Swirl Control Valve) opening angles using a steady flow rig and 2-D LDV (Laser Doppler Velocimetry). It was found that swirl flow was more dominant than that of tumble in the experimented engine. In addition, the in-cylinder flow was quantified in terms of swirl/tumble ratio and mean flow coefficient. As the SCV opening angle was increased, high swirl ratios more than 3.0 were obtained in the case of SCV -70° and 90°. Second, spray characteristics of the intermittent injection were investigated by a PDA (Phase Doppler Anemometer) system. A Time Dividing Method (TDM) was used to analyze the microscopic spray characteristics. It was found that the atomization characteristics such as velocity and SMD (Sauter Mean Diameter) of the spray were affected by the in-cylinder swirl ratio. As a result, it was concluded that the swirl ratio improves atomization characteristics uniformly.

Dissolved air flotation (OAF) is a solid-liquid separation system that uses fine bubbles rising from bottom to remove particles in water. In this study, we investigated the effect of L/W (L; Length, W; Width) on the hydro-dynamic behavior in DAF system using CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) and ADV (Acoustic Doppler Velocimetry) technique. The factual full-scale DAF system, L/W ratio of 1:1, was selected and various L/W ratio (2:1, 3:1, 4:1 and 5:1) conditions were simulated with CFD. For modelling, 2-phase (gas-liquid) flow equations for the conservation of mass, momentum and turbulence quantities were solved using an Eulerian-Eulerian approach based on the assumption that very small particle is applied in the DAF system. Also, for verification of CFD simulation results, we measured the factual velocity at some points in the full-scale DAF system with ADV technique. Both the simulation and the measurement results were in good accordance with each other. As the results of this study, we concluded that L/W ratio and outlet geometry play important role for flow pattern and fine bubble distribution in the flotation zone. In the ratio of 1:1, the dead zone is less than those in other cases. On the other hands, in the ration of 3:1, the fine bubbles were more evenly distributed.

The present study was undertaken to clarify the role of TEST-Yolk Buffer(TYB) as a factor for the improvement of human sperm fertility potential. We examined the effects of low temperature capacitation using TYB on sperm motility (%), motility pattern, normal morphology, true acrosome reaction, sperm penetration assay and human in vitro fertilization. Comparing the TYB method and swim-up method, the sperm motility(%) of selected sperm was not significantly different, but statistically significant differences were found in curvilinear velocity, linearity, lateral head displacement, normal morphology(%) and true acrosome reaction(%)(p<0.05). Results obtained from the sperm penetration assay demonstrated that the penetration index and penetration rate were increased significantly(p<0.05) when the spermatozoa were incubated in TYB, as compared with swim-up method. And fertilization of intact human oocytes was more succesful when spermatozoa were pretreated with TYB at $4^{\circ}C$ for 48 hours as compared with swim-up method. Our results show that TYB method have advantages in terms of enhancement of sperm hyperactivation, increased true acrosome reaction, increased ability to penetrate zona-free hamster ova and augmented fertilization of human oocytes, suggesting that TYB is superior in its ability to preserve sperm motility and fertilizing ability.

The momentum, heat and mass trasfer phenomena in the silicon melt of the Czochralki crystal growth system are calculated using a three dimensional numerical simulation thechnique. Even though axisymmetrical boundary conditions are imposed to all calculations in a 3cm diameter crucible, several types of non-axisymmetric profiles of velocities, temperature and oxygen concentration appeared in the melt. Because of the non-axisymmetric profiles of velocities, temperature and oxygen concentration appeared in the melt. Because of the non-axisymmetric profiles and rotations of fluid induced by the crucible rotation, temperatures and oxygen concentrations in the silicon melt fluctuate. The rotating velocity of the profile is calculated from the phase shift of the data of temperature or oxygen at two different points which have same radius from center but 90 degree angular difference. From this calculation, it is found that the rotating veolocity of the oxygen and temperature is different from the crucible rotation rates. Therefore the frequencies of the oscillating temperature and oxygen concentrations are not same to the frequencies of the crucible rotations. Futhermore, the components of the frequencies of the temperature and oxygen concentration at the same point are not same. The fluctuation behaviors of the temperature or oxygen themselves are also different when the points are different. The calculation show that the temperature and the oxygen concentration near the interface also fluctuate. The results suggest that the striation pattern found in the grown silicon single crystals may ben generated by the oxygen concentration and the temperature oscillations of the melt occurred near the interface.

The effects of acoustic resonance and volute geometry on phase resonance are studied theoretically and experimentally using a centrifugal fan. One dimensional theoretical model is developed taking account of the reflection from the discharge pipe end. It was found that the phase resonance occurs, even with the effects of acoustic resonance, when the rotational speed of rotor-stator interaction pattern agrees with the sound velocity. This was confirmed by experiments with and without a silencer at the discharge pipe exit. The pressure wave measurements showed that there are certain effects of the cross-sectional area change of the volute which is neglected in the one dimensional model. To clarify the effects of area change, experiments were carried out by using a ring volute with a constant area. It was demonstrated that the phase resonance occurs for both interaction modes travelling towards/away from the volute. The amplitude of travelling wave grows towards the volute exit for the modes rotating towards the volute exit, in the same direction as the impeller. However, a standing wave is developed in the volute for the modes rotating away from the volute exit in the opposite direction as the impeller, as a result of the interaction of a growing wave while travelling towards the tongue and a reflected wave away from the tongue.

Purpose: The inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) can be damaged as a result of minor oral surgical procedure such as third molar extraction or implant placement. Repair of the injured IAN involves difficulty of access, and research studies are limited to elucidating the process of regeneration by surgical methods. This study sought to establish the rabbit animal model to apply polymeric membrane functionalized with nerve growth factor after a crush lesion for the evaluation of nerve regeneration using the electrophysiologic method. Materials and Methods: The IAN of 2 adult male New Zealand white rabbits (4 nerves) were exposed bilaterally, and crush injury rendered by jeweler's forceps was applied. Nerve conduction velocity was examined electrophysiologically using electromyography before, after, and 4 weeks after the crush injury. To evaluate the regeneration, the pattern of action potential of IAN was recorded, and the characteristics of neurons were histologically observed. Result: After the crush injury, afferent activity decreased in the injured group. Electromyography could not be recorded after four weeks because tissues surrounding the injured nerve collapsed. Decrease in the mean number of axons was observed in the injured part with membrane. Conclusion: Despite the limited result, the present animal model study may provide a possible way to research on the methods of enhancing the recovery of nerve injuries in clinical situations. For clinically widespread acceptance, however, it should gain more consecutive and scientific evidences.
