Chemical application, one of the most important crop management processes happened to cause spray drift, that would threaten farmers in field as well as dwellers in rural region. Spray drift was affected by micro-meteorological parameters. A study to evaluate short distance drift characteristics of a boom sprayer in paddy fields has been undergoing. This study is the first step of the research. Main purpose of the was conducted to develop a mean wind profile and to get information on turbulence intensities above and within rice canopy. Wind in rice paddy field were measured at every 10cm from 10 to 180cm above the ground using a 2-dimensional probe and a hot wire anemometer system. Main results were summarized as follows. 1. Mean wind profile was modeled as; Equations. see full-text 2. Roughness length and zero-displacement in rice canopy were analyzed to be respectively 0.04 and 0.7∼0.72 times of the canopy height. The values are smaller comparing to those of other crops because rice canopy is flexible and uniform comparing to other crops. 3. Turbulence intensities (Tl) was greater as close to the ground and became constant at heights greater than 1.5Hc. where Tl’s were 0.4 and 0.15 in horizontal and vertical direction respectively.

The task of chemical spraying has been seriously considered as an irritating and annoying job for Korean rice farmers. An agricultural unmanned helicopter was suggested to solve this problem so as the farmers to have more decent farming condition. The objectives of this study were to analyze the adoptability of an experimental rotor blade (SW05) using the CFD simulation and also to compare the simulation results with experimental results. The simulation results showed that the induced power of this rotor reached to $57{\sim}63%$ of total power and the profile power was about $37{\sim}43%$ of total power. Therefore it can be concluded that this rotor's performance characteristics were not so efficient for the size of unmanned helicopter due to the low induced power and high profile power relatively compared with ones of conventional rotors. The comparison with experimental results showed that the tested lifts were less than 70% of simulated ones at the grip pitch of $12^{\circ}$ and decreased to 40% at the $18^{\circ}$ grip pitch. Therefore, it can be concluded that the rotor was too oversized to be used for a 15.4 kW (21 PS) engine.

For an aspect ratio (transport length-to-width) of 5, Pr = 2.89, Le = 0.018, Pe = 2.29, Cv = 1.11, $P_B$=40 Torr, solutally buoyancy-driven convection $(Gr_s=3.03{\times}10^5)$ due to the disparity in the molecular weights of the component A $(Hg_2Cl_2)$ and B (He) is stronger than thermally buoyancy-driven convection $(Cr_t=1.66{\times}10^4)$. The crystal growth rate is decreased exponentially for $2.5\;{\leq}\;Ar\;{\leq}\;5$, with (1) the linear temperature profile and a fixed temperature difference, (2) the imposed thermal profile, a fixed crystal region and varied temperature difference. This is related to the finding that the effects of side walls tend to stabilize convection in the growth reactor. But, with the imposed thermal profile, a fixed source region and varied temperature difference, the rate is increased far $2\;{\leq}\;Ar\;{\leq}\;3$, and remains nearly unchanged for $3\;{\leq}\;Ar\;{\leq}\;5$.

본 연구에서는 전산유체역학(CFD)을 이용하여 마이크로채널 내부의 Fischer-Tropsch(FT) 반응을 모사하였고, 나아가 반응채널의 너비와 높이, 냉각채널과의 거리 그리고 채널 사이 간격을 변수로 두고 채널 내부 온도에 대해 민감도 분석을 수행하였다. 마이크로채널 반응기는 채널 간의 열교환을 고려하기 위한 5개의 반응채널과 냉각채널을 대신한 냉각면으로 이루어져 있으며 채널의 높이와 너비를 포함한 변수들의 길이는 0.5 mm ~ 5.0 mm 범위에서 설정하였다. 반응물로는 $H_2$와 CO의 혼합기체($H_2/CO$ molar ratio=2)를 사용하였으며 반응기의 운전 조건은 $GHSV=10000h^{-1}$, 압력 20 bar와 온도 483 K($210^{\circ}C$)이다. 민감도 분석의 결과로 반응채널 내부의 최대 온도는 채널의 높이에 비례하며 너비에 대해서는 특정 길이 이상에서 영향을 받지 않는 것을 확인하였으며 이 중에 냉각채널과의 거리와 채널 사이 간격은 채널 내부 온도에 거의 영향을 미치지 않았다. 따라서 채널 레이아웃에서 반응채널의 높이는 짧을수록(약 2 mm 이하), 너비는 길수록(약 4 mm 이상) 열제거뿐만 아니라 생산량 측면에서 이득을 얻을 수 있었다.

Numerical simulation of coextrusion process of viscoelastic fluids within a die has been carried out. In the coextrusion process velocity profile at the outflow boundary is not known a priori, which makes it difficult to impose the proper boundary condition at the outflow boundary. This difficulty has been avoided by using the open boundary condition (OBC) method. In this study, elastic viscous stress splitting (EVSS) formulation with streamline upwind (SU) method has been used in the finite element method. In order to test the validity of the OBC method, comparison between the results of fully developed condition at the outlet and those of OBC has been made for a Newtonian fluid. In the case of upper convected Maxwell (UCM) fluid, the effect of outflow boundary condition on the interface position has been investigated by using two meshes having different downstream lengths. In both cases, the results with the OBC method showed reasonable interface shape. In particular, for the UCM fluid the interface shape calculated with OBC was independent of the downstream length, while the results with the zero traction condition showed oscillation of interface position close to the outlet. Viscosity difference was found to be more important than elasticity difference in determining the final interface position. However, the overshoot of interface position near the con-fluent point increased with elasticity.

In this study, the effects of counter ion valency of the electrolyte on the colloidal repulsion between two parallel cylindrical particles were investigated. Electrostatic interactions of the cylindrical particles were calculated with the variation of counter ion valency. To calculate the electrical repulsive energy working between these two cylindrical particles, Derjaguin approximation was applied. The electrostatic potential profiles were obtained numerically by solving nonlinear Poission-Boltzmann (P-B) equation and calculating middle point potential and repulsive energy working between interacting surfaces. The electrical potential and repulsive energy were influenced by counter ion valency, Debye length, and surface potential. The potential profile and middle point potential decayed with the counter ion valency due to the promoted shielding of electrical charge. On the while, the repulsive energy increased with the counter ion valency at a short separation distance. These behaviors of electrostatic interaction agreed with previous results on planar or spherical surfaces.

[ ${\alpha}-Naphthylisothiocyanate$ ] (ANIT) induces intrahepatic cholestasis, involving damage to biliary epitheial cells. This study investigates hepatic gene expression and histopathological alterations in response to ANIT treatment in order to elucidate early time response of ANIT-induced hepatotoxicity. ANIT was treated with single dose (3, 6, and 60 mg/kg) in corn oil by oral gavage. Serum biochemical and histopathological observation were performed for evaluation of hepatotoxicity level. Affymetrix oligo DNA chips were used for gene expression profile by ANIT-induced hetpatoxicity. Hepatic enzyme levels (ALT, AST, and ALP) were increased in 24 hr high dose group. In microscopic observations, moderate hepatocellular necrosis, were confirmed 24 hr high dose groups. We found that gene expression patterns were dependent on time and dose. Our selected genes were related inflammation and immunomodulation. In this study, ANIT-induced hepatotoxicity was involved in acute phase responses and provides evidence for role of neutrophil could be mechanism associated with ANIT-mediated hepatotoxicity.

The feature scale model for selective chemical vapor deopsition process was proposed and the simulation was performed to study the selectivity and uniformity of deposited thin film using Monte Carlo method and string algorithm. The effect of model parameters such as sticking coefficient, aspect ratio, and surface diffusion coefficient on the deposited thin film pattern was improved for lower sticking coefficient and higher aspect ratio. It was revealed that the selectivity loss ascrives to the surface diffusion. Different values of sticking coefficients on Si and on SiO2 surface greatly influenced the deopsited thin film profile. In addition, as the lateral wall angle decreased, the selectively deposited film had improved uniformity except the vicinity of trench wall. The optimum eondition for the most flat selective film deposition pattern is the case with low sticking coefficient and slightly increased surface diffusion coefficient.

A numerical simulation of membrane evaporation process was carried out in this work. The aim of simulation is to describe transport of water through porous membranes applicable to the concentration of aqueous solutions. A three-dimensional mathematical model was developed which considers transport phenomena including mass, heat, and momentum transfer in membrane evaporation process. The equations of model were then solved numerically using finite element method. The results of simulation in terms of evaporation flux were compared with experimental data, and confirmed the accuracy of model. Moreover, profile of pressure, concentration, and heat flux were obtained and analyzed. The results revealed that developed 3D model is capable of predicting performance of membrane evaporators in concentration of aqueous solutions.
