Destruction process of toluene using a wire-cylindrical BBD (Dielectric Barrier Discharge) reactor packed with catalysts was investigated to characterize the synergetic effects of non-thermal plasma and catalyst process. The catalysts used in the present study were ${\gamma}$-Al$_2$BO$_3$ and Pt/${\gamma}$-Al$_2$O$_3$. Under the numerous test conditions, specific energy density (SED (J/L)) and the conversion of toluene, defined as (1 -[C$_{f}$]/[C$_{i}$]), were measured. The test results showed that toluene decomposition efficiency followed the pseudo-first order in the case of plasma only process. The pseudo-first order process, however, was modified to pseudo-zeroth order reaction in the case of catalyst-assisted plasma process. This modification of the reaction order was verified based on a simple kinetic model proposed in the present study. Owing to the modification of reaction order, which resulted from the catalytic process, the specific energy to achieve the high removal efficiencies, i.e. 80~90%, was reduced significantly.y.y.

This experiment was performed to investigate the characteristics of sonolytic reaction as the basic data for development of the ultrasonic AOP(Advanced Oxidation Process) process from which the refractory organic compounds in aqueous solution which are not readily removed by the existing conventional wastewater treatment processes can be destructed and removed. Trichloroethylene (TCE), benzene, and 2,4-dichlorophenol(DCP) were used as the samples, and their destruction efficiency were measured in terms of experimental parameters of the initial solution concentration, initial solution pH, reaction temperature, acoustic frequencies and intensities. Results showed that the destruction efficiencies of all of the sample materials were above 80% within 120 minutes of sonolytic reaction in all reaction condition. The reaction order of these three compounds was verified as Pseudo first order. From the fore-mentioned results, it can be concluded that the refractory organic compounds could be removed by the ultrasonic irradiation with radicals, such as H$.$and OH$.$causing the high increase of pressure and temperature. Finally, it appears that the new AOP technology using ultrasonic irradiation can be applied to the treatment of refractory substances which are difficult to be decomposed by the conventional methods.

We have calculated 2448 interstellar cloud models to investigate the formation and destruction of high rotational level $H_2$ according to the combinations of five physical conditions: the input UV intensity, the $H_2$ column density, cloud temperature, total density, and the $H_2$ formation rate efficiency. The models include the populations of all the accessible states of $H_2$ with the rotational quantum number J < 16 as a function of depth through the model clouds, and assume that the abundance of $H_2$ is in a steady state governed primarily by the rate of formation on the grain surfaces and the rates of destruction by spontaneous fluorescent dissociation following absorption in the Lyman and Werner band systems. The high rotational levels J = 4 and J = 5 are both populated by direct formation into these levels of newly created molecules, and by pumping from J = 0 and J = 1, respectively The model results show that the high rotational level ratio N(4)/N(0) is proportional to the incident UV intensity, and is inversely proportional to the $H_2$ molecular fraction, as predicted in theory.

Gas turbine system with steam injection has shown outstanding advantages such as high specific power and NOx reduction. In the present work, a comparative exergetic analysis was carried out for Steam Injected Gas Turbine (STIG), Regenerative Steam Injected Gas Turbine (RSTIG), and Regenerative After Fogging Gas Turbine (RAF). Effects of pressure ratio, steam injection ratio and steam injection method on the system performance was theoretically investigated. The results showed that the order of the highest exergy efficiency is RSTIG, RAF, and STIG for low pressure ratios but STIG, RSTIG, and RAF for high pressure ratios. In each arrangement, the combustion chamber has the highest exergy destruction and the compressor has the second one.

A light water nuclear Reactor has been exergy analyzed, and the rate of irreversible exergy loss and exergy destruction is calculated for each of its components. The ratio of these losses compared to the total input exergy loss is calculated, which shows that most irreversible losses occur in the reactors, turbines, steam generators, respectively, as well as in the downstream operations. The main aim of this paper is to optimize the power plant using an innovative firefly algorithm and then to propose a novel strategy to improve the overall performance of the plant. As shown in the results, the exergy destruction rate of the plant decreased by 1.18% using the firefly method, and the exergy efficiency of the plant reached 29.3% comparing to the operational amount of 28.99%. Also, the results of the firefly optimization process compared to the Genetic algorithm and gravitational search algorithm to study the accuracy of the model for exergy analysis fitness problems in the power plants and the results of this comparison has shown that the results are nearly similar in the mentioned methods. However, the firefly is faster and more accurate in limited iterations.

본 논문에서는 부하전류에 따라 LDO(Low Drop Out) 레귤레이터의 효과적인 동작과 파괴 방지를 위해 ESD(Electro Static Discharge) 보호회로를 내장한 LDO 레귤레이터를 제안한다. 제안하는 LDO 레귤레이터는 additional feedback current 회로구조를 이용하여 LDO 레귤레이터의 출력전압에 따라 더욱 효과적으로 패스 트랜지스터의 게이트 노드 전압을 조절할 수 있다. 또한 기존의 ESD 보호소자에 P+ bridge를 추가하여 SCR 루프 상의 전류 이득을 감소시켜 홀딩 전압을 약 2V 가량 높인 새로운 구조를 내장하여 ESD 상황에 대해 높은 신뢰성을 가질 것으로 예상된다.

Abatement of perfluorocompounds (PFCs) used in semiconductor and display industries has received an attention due to the increasingly stricter regulation on their emission. In order to meet this circumstance, we have developed a radio frequency (RF) driven plasma reactor with multiple annular shaped electrodes, characterized by an easy installment between a processing chamber and a vacuum pump. Abatement experiment has been performed with respect to $CF_4$, a representative PFCs widely used in the plasma etching process, by varying the power, $CF_4$ and $O_2$ flow rates, $CF_4$ concentration, and pressure. The influence of these variables on the $CF_4$ abatement was analyzed and discussed in terms of the destruction & removal efficiency (DRE), measured with a Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer. The results revealed that DRE was enhanced with the increase in the discharge power and pressure, but dropped with the $CF_4$ flow rate and concentration. The addition of small quantity of $O_2$ lead to the improvement of DRE, which, however, leveled off and then decreased with $O_2$ flow rate.

Works were focused on back pressure characteristics of ceramic fiber filter on DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) system and experiments were performed to select appropriate filter which can filter particulates. Filters were installed on metal -support tube which has openings for exhaust gas flow. Ceramic fiber filters with high specific surface area and adequate high temperature strength are commercially available for filtration of diesel particulates and in -situ hot regeneration. Thus, ceramic blanket and ceramic board which are used as insulating media were applied to filter and filtration apparatus was installed on exhaust gas line connected to 2.0 L diesel engine. Alternating filter structure to adapt DPF system, collection efficiency test of diesel particulates was measured. In case of ceramic blanket, pressure drop was low, caused by the destruction of soft structures. Also, particulate collection efficiency was decreased depending on loading time. In case of ceramic board, structure design was altered to reduce back pressure on DPF system. Structure design was altered to induce Z-flow by making 10 mm and 5 mm holes on the surface of media. Alteration of 5 mm hole showed that media have low back pressure but particulate collection efficiency was 77%, while 10 mm hole showed that of 90%.

Volatile organic compounds emitted to the atmosphere can cause adverse effects on human health and participate in photochemical smog formation reactions. The destruction of a series of VOCs has been carried out by non-thermal plasma in other researches. And the characteristic of non-thermal plasma was operated at atmospheric pressure and low temperature. A new type non-thermal plasma reactor was investigated combined Glidarc plasma with water jet in this research. Also, it was found that the water-jet had an significant effect on the toluene removal efficiency. But too much water content does not favor toluene decomposition by decreasing of reaction temperature. The input toluene concentration, gas flow rate, water flow rate and specific energy input were used as experiment variables. The toluene removal efficiency, energy efficiency and specific energy input were 75.3%, 146.6 g/kWh and $1.12kWh/m^3$ at a water flow rate of 100 mL/min.
