Entropy generation along with exergetic analysis is carried out using turbulent nanofluid flow in the heat exchanger. To obtain the optimized percentage constituent of nanofluid, the nanofluid volume concentrations is varied for the given input conditions. For different Reynolds number of the fluid and heat capacity rate ratio between the streams, the heat transfer improvements are studied in terms of nano particles diameter. Parametric analysis is carried out for a counterflow heat exchanger using turbulent nanofluid flow with exergetic efficiency along with entropy generation number as performance parameters. The exergetic efficiency provides realistic approach in the design of nanofluid applications in heat exchanger leading to conservation of energy.

본 연구에서는 보통 포틀랜드 시멘트 OPC(Ordinary Portland Cement)와 MIS(Micro-Injection Process System) 공법에서 사용하고 있는 마이크로 시멘트의 지반 침투성능을 평가하기 위해 실내모형시험을 수행하였다. 이를 위해 그라우트 주입을 일정한 방법으로 재현할 수 있는 가압침투주입장치를 제작하였으며 공시체 제작방법을 마련하였다. 물시멘트비를 5:1에서 1:1까지 변화하여 주입시험을 수행한 결과 물시멘트비가 증가함에 따라 침투성능이 선형적으로 증가하였으며 주입성능을 비교하면 상대적으로 비표면적이 큰 MIS가 OPC보다 동일한 배합비에서 침투성능이 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 특히 물시멘트비가 2:1~1:1의 부배합에서 OPC의 침투성능이 매우 낮은 것으로 관찰되었다. 또한 침투량과 주입시간과의 관계곡선을 hyperbolic으로 모델링하여 예측치를 산정하고 이를 측정치와 비교한 결과 그라우트 성능평가에 대한 hyperbolic 모델의 잠재력이 검증되었다.

본 연구에서는 다단계 전기화학적 반응기를 이용하여 환원제의 투입, 전극의 종류, 수리학적 체류시간(HRT : Hydraulic Retention Time) 및 전류밀도 변화에 따른 질산성질소의 제거효율을 살펴보았다. 실험결과, 환원제 투입은 질산성질소 제거효율을 증가시켰으며 에너지투입량은 감소시켰다. 전극종류를 변화시켰을 경우, 질산성질소 제거효율 및 전류효율의 차이는 거의 없었으나 Zn 환원제의 회수를 위해 B-type(1단 : Pt-Zn, 2단 : Pt-Zn, 3단 : Pt-Zn, 4단 : Pt-Zn)을 선정하였다. 수리학적 체류시간 변화실험에서는 수리학적 체류시간과 무관하게 동일전류밀도를 공급한 실험과 수리학적 체류시간 변화에 따른 전류밀도 변화 실험 즉, 단위부피당 동일 전류량 공급 실험을 진행하였다. 실험 결과, 수리학적 체류시간과 전류밀도 변화에 의해 농도분극현상과 적용전류량의 부족현상이 발생하게 된다. 즉 수리학적 체류시간이 감소할수록 농도분극현상은 감소하지만 단위 부피당 적용전류량이 부족하게 된다. 따라서 수리학적 체류시간과 전류밀도 실험을 통해 적절한 운전조건을 도출할 수 있으며, 내부 스페이서의 설치로 확산을 증가시킬 경우 질소제거효율 및 에너지효율이 증가될 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

최근 4차 산업혁명이 본격화되고 차세대 ICT 융합 기술이 개발됨에 따라 건설분야 역시 기술변화에 대응하기 위해 다양한 스마트 건설기술이 건설 단계별로 빠르게 도입되고 있다. 특히, 건설현장의 경우 부지설계를 위한 토공량 산출 공정이 설계비용에 큰 부분을 차지하고 있어 공정의 효율화와 정확한 토공량 산출을 위한 관련 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구는 건설현장의 지형을 3차원으로 신속하게 구축하고 이를 이용하여 효율적으로 토공량을 산출할 수 있는 방법을 제시하고자 한 것이다. 이를 위해 무인비행체로부터 획득한 대축척의 항공사진을 이용하여 건설현장을 3차원 실사모델로 구축하였다. 이때, 구축한 3차원 실사모델은 체적 산출이 불가한 surface 모델 구조를 가짐에 따라 체적 산출이 가능하도록 3차원의 solid 모델로 구조 변환을 수행하였다. 그리고 변환된 solid 모델을 이용하여 CAD 기반으로 토공량을 산출할 수 있는 방법론을 구상하였다. 정립한 방법론을 적용한 solid 모델로부터 토공량을 자동 산출한 결과, 기존의 현황측량 결과로부터 산출한 토공량과 1.52%의 상대적 편차를 확인할 수 있었다. 추가적으로 방법별 공정 소요시간을 비교분석한 결과 60%의 소요시간 절감을 확인할 수 있었다. 이로부터 본 연구에서 제시한 기법은 토공량 산출을 위한 비용절감은 물론 건설공사 전 공정에서 주기적인 현장의 모니터링 등 스마트 건설관리를 위한 기술로써 활용이 기대된다.

Light scattering enhancement is widely used to enhance the optical absorption efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells. In this work, we systematically analyzed the effects of spherical voids distributed as light-scattering centers in photoanode films made of an assembly of zinc oxide nanoparticles. Spherical voids in electrode films were formed using a sacrificial template of polystyrene (PS) spheres. The diameter and volume concentration of these spheres was varied to optimize the efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells. The effects of film thickness on this efficiency was also examined. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was performed to study electron transport in the electrodes. The highest power conversion efficiency of 4.07 % was observed with $12{\mu}m$ film thickness. This relatively low optimum thickness of the electrode film is due to the enhanced light absorption caused by the light scattering centers of voids distributed in the film.

A laboratory experiments were performed to investigate the effects of several factors on the phosphorus removal by waste oyster shells. The waste oyster shells used in this experiments were crushed particle, calcined particle and extracted solution. A higher efficiencies of phosphorus removal were observed, when a particle size of crushed and calcined particle were smaller. The effluent concentration of phosphorus was around 1.6mg/ι in continuous column experiment which packed with crushed particle of waste oyster shell at the influent concentration of PO4-P of 10 mg/ι. But the clogging of column occurred with increasing of throughput volume of influent. The efficiency of phosphorus removal increased with increasing of dosage amount of crushed, calcined particle and extracted solution. When the calcined particle which contained only about 1/10~1/100 of crushed particle was used, the efficiency of phosphorus removal was correspondingly equivalent to the removal efficiency obtained from crushed particle. The efficiency of phosphorus removal by calcined particle after 9 runs repeated use was decreased about 21.5% as that of the first run. The removal efficiency of 100% could have been achieved at the HRT of 18 hours during the continuous treatment of phosphorus by the solution extracted from calcined particle.

We evaluated industry growth and employment effects of every possible pairs of 22 manufacturing sectors and 16 regions (i.e, 352 region-sectors). We used annual data of manufacturing sectors from 2008 to 2014 for the evaluation. The evaluation comprises of two steps; We first find several region-sectors that outperform others with respect to the effects of industry growth and employment, which are measured by location quotient analysis, shift share method, employment to GDP ratio and employment elasticity. In addition, cross-efficiency analysis follows to classify region-sector pairs into two sub-categories : efficient region-sectors that deserve to hold the current level of investments and inefficient region-sectors where we should consider efficiency improvements. To examine the efficiency, R&D investment, employment size, and capital investment were used as input factors and production volume, added value, changes in employment size, changes in annual salary per capita were used as output factors. For region-sector pairs that have outstanding growth and employment effects but are inefficient, we employed a CCR DEA model and analyzed how much to adjust the values of input and output factors to improve the efficiency scores. The analysis results showed that inefficiency is mainly due to several factors such as R&D investment, changes in employment size and changes in annual salary per capita.

After the introduction of Volume-based Waste Fee System for municipal wastes, the disposal of food wastes became an issue in society. As this reason, recycling food wastes facilities play an important role such as converting of food waste into animal feed or composting of food waste. Therefore, there is need of efficiency measurement of the facilities to reduce the inefficiency of factors. The purpose of this paper is to make a reasonable suggestion for the improvement of inefficient recycling food wastes facilities. This paper assesses the relative efficiency of recycling food wastes facilities by examining the relationship between inputs and outputs in 41 facilities using data envelopment analysis(DEA). The result shows that 4 facilities whose values of CCR efficiency are 1, and 10 facilities whose values of BCC efficiency are 1, RTS indicates IRS of 17 facilities and CRS of 6 facilities.

Cancer immunotherapy using gene-modified tumor cells is safe and customized cancer treatment method. In this study, we made gene-modified tumor cells by transferring costimulatory molecules, 4-1BBL and OX40L, into tumor cells using lentivirus vector, and identified anti-cancer effect of gene-modified tumor cells in CT26 mouse colorectal tumor model. We construct pLVX-puro-4-1BBL, -OX40L vector for lentivirus production and optimized the transfection efficiency and transduction efficiency. The transfection efficiency is maximal at DNA:cationic polymer = 1:0.5 and DNA 2 ㎍ for lentivirus production. Then, the lentiviral including 4-1BBL and OX40L was used to deliver CT26 mouse tumor cells to establish optimal delivery conditions according to the amount of virus. The transduction efficiency is maximal at 500 μL volume of lentiviral stock without change in cell shape or growth rate. CT26-4-1BBL, CT26-OX40L significantly inhibited the tumor growth compare with CT26-WT or CT26-β-gal cell line. These data showed the possibility the use of genetically modified tumor cells with costimulatory molecule as cancer immunotherapy agent.
