An accurate knowledge of the minimum oxygen concentration(MOC) is important in developing appropriate prevention and control measures in industrial fire protection. In this study, by using the literature data and RSM(response surface methodology), the new equations for predicting the MOC are proposed. The A.A.P.E.(average absolute percent error) and the A.A.D.(average absolute deviation) of the reported and the calculated MOC for hydrocarbons were $3.48\%\;and\;0.37\;vol\%$, respectively and the correlation coefficient was 0.919. The A.A.P.E and the A.A.D of the reported and the calculated MOC for halogenated hydrocarbons and hydrocarbons were $5.06\%$ and $0.59vo1\%$, and the correlation coefficient was 0.938. The values calculated by the proposed equations were in good agreement with the literature data. Therefore, it is expected that this proposed equations will support the use of the research for other flammable substances.

Solubilities (LiBr+$CaC1_2$) in water were measured at temperatures form 267.51 to 306.17K for $CaC1_2$ (LiBr+$CaC1_2$)=0.24 by mole. Experimental data were correlated with polynomial equations. Average absolute deviations between the measured and calculated values were 0.31% at concentration smaller than 60wt% and 0.41% at concentration larger than 60wt%, respectively. Vapor pressures were measured at temperatures from 296.75 to 436.75K and concentrations from 40 to 70wt%. Vapor pressure data were fitted to a Antoine-type equation and average absolute deviation was 2.98%. The P-T-X chart and H-T-X chart of $H_2O$/(LiBr+$CaC1_2$) system were constructed by using the correlation equations of solubility, vaper pressure, and heat capacity. The P-T-X chart indicates that $H_2O$/(LiBr+$CaC1_2$) system has potential as a possible working fluid for air-cooled absorption chillers.

Arching effect occurs around the unsupported excavation surface near to tunnel face when a tunnel is excavated in a stable rock mass. If a weak fracture zone exists in front of tunnel face, a displacement occurs between tunnel face and weak fracture zone due to stress concentration. If three-dimensional absolute coordinates (longitudinal, transverse, vertical direction) is measured at tunnel face by geodetic method, the ground change in front of the tunnel face can be predicted by analysing three-dimensional absolute displacement. The purpose of this study is to verify the analysis method of three-dimensional absolute displacement by comparing the trend of displacement ratio at crown and sidewall of tunnel and the influence line/trend line of crown settlement compared with TSP results in the same section.

Based on the measurement data of the particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of less than or equal to a nominal 10 ${\mu}m$ (PM10) by the ${\beta}$-ray absorption method (BAM) equipped with an inlet heater and the gravimetric method (GMM) at two coastal sites in Korea, the optimal inlet heater temperature was estimated. By using a gas/particle equilibrium model, Simulating Composition of Atmospheric Particles at Equilibrium 2 (SCAPE2), water content in aerosols was estimated with varying temperature to find the optimal temperature increase to make the PM10 concentration by BAM comparable to that by GMM. It was estimated that the heated air temperature inside the BAM should be increased up to $35{\sim}45^{\circ}C$ at both sites. At this temperature range, evaporation of volatile aerosol components was minor. Similar ($30{\sim}50^{\circ}C$) temperature range was also obtained from the calculation based on the absolute humidity which changed with ambient absolute humidity and chemical composition of hygroscopic species.

This investigation involves a study of the physical and chemical factors of Pinus densiflora SIEB. et ZUCC. and Quercus mongolica Fisher barks affecting on the adsorption of heavy mteal ions. The results obtained can be summarized as follows. 1. The capacity of the untreated bark to remove the Cu and Cd from solution was similar to or 5% higher than that of formaldehyde treated bark in both species. Considering that untreated bark lead to color-leaching problem, bark treated with formaldehyde are economical. 2. With decreasing particle size of bark(20-80), the adsorption ratio of the Cu and Cd from solution was increased. Quercus bark adsorbed more Cu and Cd at smaller particle size compared to Pinus bark. 3. The heavy metal eqilibrium adsorption of the bark from Cu and Cd solution was attained within 10 min. Pinus bark removed about 48% of the Cu and 41% of the Cd from solution in 10 min while Quercus bark removed about 50% during that period. 4. As the initial metal concentration increased. the absolute metal uptake was increased while percentage removal was decreased. At the lower metal concentration (10 ppm). Pinus and Quercus barks removed 77-94% of the Cu and 72-84% of the Cd. At high metal concentration (200 ppm), the adsorption ratio was 40% Cu and 25% Cd, respectivelty. 5. The maximum adsorption of the Cu and Cd from solution was obtained at pH 5-6 in filtrate. 6. With increased bark weight per given metal concentration, absolute removal of metal ion from solution was increased, but the percentage removal was decreased. The amount of adsorption was 4.2 mg Cu and 4.2 mg Cd per gr. Pinus, bark and 5.4 mg Cu and 4.3 mg Cd per gr. Quercus bark, respectively.

Solubility profiles of zein and carotenoid in aqueous ethanol were studied. Zein showed minimum turbidity at the aqueous ethanol concentration of 87-92%, indicating least aggregations between protein molecules. Solubilities of zein and carotenoid increased linearly with the content of yellow zein up to 20% in the aqueous ethanol range of 60-95% tested. At room temperature of $20^{\circ}C$, zein showed maximum solubility in broad ethanol concentration ranges of 60-95%, while that for carotenoid was somewhat narrower with ethanol concentration range of 85-95%. However, at incubation temperature of $-20^{\circ}C$, solubilities of both carotenoid and zein were lowered, with dramatic reduction being exhibited at aqueous ethanol concentration of 60% for both compounds, while substantial reduction in solubility was shown at 95% ethanol by zein only. Zein was practically insoluble in absolute ethanol, regardless of temperature range tested, while carotenoid remained largely soluble, though there was pronounced decrease in solubility at the subfreezing temperature.

The present work provides a result from the preliminary experiment for hydrocyclone technology. In this work, local lake sediments and waste coal fly ash were used as test samples, prior to the application of hydrocyclone technology to the waste sludge thickening. A few cyclones based on the Rietema standard geometry were prepared. Chemical analysis of the sediments showed that more organic contaminants were in smaller particles. The experimental tests further showed that physical characteristics of particles, configuration of the cyclone and operation condition would affect the separation efficiency. The current results showed that small size cyclones might improve the separation and concentration of the lake sediments, and higher inlet velocity would increase the concentration rate of under flow and absolute concentration of sediment particles.

Ozone is usually generated from oxygen gas using a silent discharge apparatus and its concentration is less then 10 mol%. Ozone is condensed by the adsorption method, which is widely used for the growth of oxidation thin films such as superconductor. Highly condensed ozone is analyzed by three methods; ultraviolet absorption, thermal decomposition and Q-mass analyzing methods. Thermal decomposition method is most effective in the highly condensed ozone region and its method is superior to Q-mass analyzer for determining ozone concentration because of the simplicity of the method.

Flammable substances are frequently used chemical industry processes. An accurate knowledge of the ALTs(Autoignition Temperatures) is important in developing appropriate prevention and control measures in industrial fire protection. The AITs describe the minimum temperature to which a substance must be heated, without the application of a flame or spark, which will cause that substance to ignite. The AITs are dependent upon many factors, namely initial temperature, pressure, volume, fuel/air stoichiometry, catalyst material, concentration of vapor, ignition delay. This study measured relationship between the AITs and the ignition delay times by using ASTM E659-78 apparatus for methanol and ethanol. The A.A.P.E.(Average Absolute Percent Error) and the A.A.D.(Average Absolute Deviation) of the experimental and the calculated delay times by the AITs for methanol were 14.59 and 1.76 respectively. Also the A.A.P.E. and the A.A.D. of the experimental and the calculated delay times by the ATIs for ethanol were 8.33 and 0.88.
