The EGR system being reburned the part of the exhaust gas through intake system indicates more favorable emission characteristics to reduce NOx in a gasoline engine, but the case of inappropriate exhaust gas quantity induced from engine is fallen engine power caused by unstable combustion. In this study, we examined a method to predict EGR ratio according to various engine operation condition based by intake manifold pressure and confirmed such a prediction data through an experimental method. And after having constituted feedback EGR control algorithm in a base with such a prediction data, we acquired qualitatively similar results by having compared data provided through an EGR feedback control experiment with the data which calculated quantity of residual gas for the engine operation condition. Therefore, the applied algorithm and the system for feedback EGR control showed feasibility applied to real electronic control EGR technology.

The purpose of this paper was to determine the quantity of selenium in milk by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry. The sample was digested in teflon vessel containing nitric-hydrogen peroxide acid mixture. After digestion, the sample is treated with additional hydrochloric acid. Total selenium was reduced with sodium borohydride and concentrated hydrochloric acid in a simplified hydride generation(HG) manifold. The optimum conditions of HG are 2 M for HCl, 1.5％ for NaBH$_4$, 1.2 mL/mim for sample flow. Recovery rates by the standard addition method were 88.0％ at 10 ppb and 92.2％ at 10 ppm. The relative standard deviations were 4.8 and 3.2％, respectively. This method showed a good accuracy and precision. And so it was highly suitable for determination of small quantity of selenium in milk.

In this paper, we reviewed the method of replacing the number of registered vehicles with the number of trips to more realistically calculate vehicle emissions. Using the Korea Transport Data Base (KTDB) in replacing the number of registered vehicles with adjusted number of registered vehicle by specific vehicle type in the metropolitan area, the results by region showed that Seoul had the widest rate of error and that, among vehicles, trucks had the widest rate of error. Also, the absolute value of deviation of registered vehicles and adjusted number of registered vehicle influenced by the calculation of the quantity of vehicle emissions showed that out of the metropolitan regional government all trucks showed the widest deviation. The results of calculating the quantity of vehicle emissions showed an average of 9% difference between the emissions based on the number of registered vehicles and the emissions based on adjusted number of registered vehicle.

Recently, many technologies have been developed in order to satisfy stringent emission regulations. However, in the case of diesel engines, the stringent emission regulations with respect to NOx and PM have not yet been satisfied. A dramatic reduction in the NOx and PM emissions could be achieved by using after-treatment systems such as lean NOx trap (LNT) and urea-SCR systems. However, the high temperature in the exhaust pipe affects the spray behavior of the secondary injector, which is used for supplying the Urea-SCR. Because of this high temperature, it is difficult to achieve uniform distribution of the reducing agent in the manifold. In this paper, the characteristics of a urea-SCR injector used for injecting in the exhaust pipe are presented. The purpose of this study was to investigate the spray characteristics of the injector, such as the spray angle, injection quantity, and SMD. In addition, laser diagnostics and high-speed-camera images were used to analyze the injector spray characteristics and to present a distribution of reduction in the transparent manifold.

The purpose of this study is to compare traditional productivity and environmental productivity of Chinese 28 provinces for 1997-2005. The Eastern, the Central and the Western regions show higher M productivity indices than ML productivity indices before 2000 year, but two productivity indices of three regions report almost similar levels after 2000 year. The M productivity indices were higher than the ML productivity indices in the most provinces for 1997-2005. It implies that the Chinese regional economies have difficulties in the production activity reducing pollutants and increasing desirable outputs simultaneously. In the future, the Chinese 28 provinces need to change the direction of economic growth in the way that pursuits economic growth restraining pollution emission quantities thoroughly and should improve the concrete investment for clean technology of pollutant treatment, reinforcement of environmental regulation, and effectiveness of enforcement law.

Marine Environment Protection Committee of the International Maritime Organization has decided to reinforce the NOx emission standards for ships passing an ECA(Emission Control Area) with Tier III standards from January 1, 2016. In this study, real-time measurements of the exhaust gas, cylinder pressure and fuel consumption were conducted at each load of a T/S Hanbada main engine of Korea Maritime and Ocean University, which is controlled by single injection and double post injection for reducing NOx emissions. The results showed that the quantity of CO2 and NOx increased in proportion to the engine load, whereas the CO concentration was inversely proportional to the engine load. In addition, double post injection decreased 10 % of P-max and reduced 25~30 % of the NOx emissions compared to single injection, whereas there was a trade-off relation, such as increase 3~5 % of SFOC (Specific Fuel Oil Consumption).

In this study, the combustion characteristics of the Tulip tree, which is the representative broad-leaved afforestation tree in Korea, were analyzed. The flame retardant performance of the Tulip tree was analyzed by analyzing combustion characteristics on a total of three test samples; flame retardant treated, both flame retardant and oil stain-treated, and untreated. Then the flame retardance grade was classified for each of them. According to the result, test samples showed the strongest flame retardance were in order of flame retardant treated (C), both flame retardant and oil stain-treated (B), and untreated (A). As a result of analyzing the total heat emission and maximum heat emission rates, which is the evaluation standard for interior materials of Korean domestic buildings, test samples with flame retardant treat or flame retardant and oil stain treat were qualified for the flame-retardant standard. Both flame retardant and oil stain-treated samples showed higher total heat release (THR) and heat release rate compared to flame retardant-treated samples as the oil causes combustion with oxygen. On the other hand, they didn't qualify the THR in Quasi-non-combustible standards. To determine the correlation between the physical and combustion characteristics of wood, the combustion characteristics of other diffuse porous wood species, with which the Tulip tree is affiliated were analyzed, and noticed that the characteristic correlates with the density and quantity of wood. The results of this study are expected to be used as basic information on the combustion characteristics of the Tulip tree.

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the grade of WA vitrified and resinoid bond grinding wheels by the sue of AE measuring system. When the manufactured 48 kinds of specimens were scratched by the method of OKOSHI'S grade test, the relationship between the amount of bit scratch depth of grinding wheel specimens and the character- istics of AE signals, and the relationship of AE counts and grade were considered as fololws; (1) The higher the grades are AE cumlulative event counts N and AE event count rate n, the smaller the values tend to be. But A $E_{rms}$is in reverse. (2) In the case of same grade, the smaller the grain size is, the higher the value of AE cumulative event counts N and A $E_{rms}$is results of comparison and observation. The grinding wheel with lower elasticity and with higher percentage of pore detected higher value of AE cumula- tive event counts N than with higher elasticity and lower percentage of pore. But A $E_{rms}$ is in reverse. (3) AE cumulative event counts N and bit scratch depth h have normally one to one correspondence. (4) It can be expected that quantitative evaluations of grade by using AE have been carried out by the wave observation of AE signal in line with the relationship between load speed of bit and AE cumulative event counts N & AE event count rate n.' AE event count rate n.ate n.

Global climate change is destroying the water circulation balance by changing rates of precipitation, recharge and discharge, and evapotranspiration. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC 2007) makes "changes in rainfall pattern due to climate system changes and consequent shortage of available water resource" a high priority as the weakest part among the effects of human environment caused by future climate changes. Groundwater, which occupies a considerable portion of the world's water resources, is related to climate change via surface water such as rivers, lakes, and marshes, and "direct" interactions, being indirectly affected through recharge. Therefore, in order to quantify the effects of climate change on groundwater resources, it is necessary to not only predict the main variables of climate change but to also accurately predict the underground rainfall recharge quantity. In this paper, the authors selected a relevant climate change scenario, In this context, the authors selected A1B from the Special Report on Emission Scenario (SRES) which is distributed at Korea Meteorological Administration. By using data on temperature, rainfall, soil, and land use, the groundwater recharge rate for the research area was estimated by period and embodied as geographic information system (GIS). In order to calculate the groundwater recharge quantity, Visual HELP3 was used as main model for groundwater recharge, and the physical properties of weather, temperature, and soil layers were used as main input data. General changes to water circulation due to climate change have already been predicted. In order to systematically solve problems associated with how the groundwater resource circulation system should be reflected in future policies pertaining to groundwater resources, it may be urgent to recalculate the groundwater recharge quantity and consequent quantity for using via prediction of climate change in Korea in the future and then reflection of the results. The space-time calculation of changes to the groundwater recharge quantity in the study area may serve as a foundation to present additional measures for the improved management of domestic groundwater resources.
