The study presents kinetics of degradation and mineralization of an anti-epileptic drug Lamotrigine (LAM) in the aqueous matrix by electrochemical advanced oxidation process (EAOP) on Ti/DSA (Ta₂O₅-Ir₂O₅) and Stainless Steel (SS) anodes using sodium sulphate as supporting electrolyte. On both the anodes, kinetic behaviour was pseudo-first-order for degradation as well as mineralization of LAM. On Ti/DSA anode, maximum LAM degradation of 75.42% was observed at an associated specific charge of 3.1 (Ah/litre) at a current density of 1.38 mA/cm² and 100 ppm Na₂SO₄ concentration. Maximum mineralization attained was 44.83% at an associated specific charge of 3.1 (Ah/litre) at a current density of 1.38 mA/cm² and 50 ppm concentration of Na₂SO₄ with energy consumption of 2942.71 kWh/kgTOC. Under identical conditions on SS anode, a maximum of 98.92% LAM degradation was marked after a specific charge (Q) of 3.1 (Ah/litre) at a current density of 1.38 mA/cm² and 100 ppm concentration of Na₂SO₄. Maximum LAM mineralization on SS anode was 98.53%, marked at a specific charge of 3.1 (Ah/litre) at a current density of 1.38 mA/cm² and 75 ppm concentration of Na₂SO₄, with energy consumption of 1312.17 kWh/kgTOC. Higher Mineralization Current Efficiency (MCE) values were attained for EAOP on SS anode for both degradation and mineralization due to occurrence of combined electro-oxidation and electro-coagulation process in comparison to EAOP on Ti/DSA anode due to occurrence of lone electro-oxidation process.

고분자 첨가물의 퇴화는 시험용액의 고온상태에서 증가된다. 합성고분자용액의 퇴화에 대해 시간에 따른 온도와 고분자 농도의 영향을 알아보기 위해 6$0^{\circ}C$, 8$0^{\circ}C$의 온도와 100, 200, 400, 600 ppm의 다양한 고분자 농도에 따라 폐회로방식으로 실험적인 연구를 하였다. 퇴화효과는 기계적 퇴화보다 온도에 더 의존적임이 밝혀졌다. 마찰계수와 레이놀즈 수의 관계는 레이놀즈 수가 5만부터 15만까지의 범위에서 레이놀즈 수가 증가함에 따라 마찰계수가 감소하고, 저온에서 마찰은 Vi가의 최대마찰저항감소 점근선에 접근한다는 것을 보인다. 일정한 유량과 온도에 대해, 높은 고분자 농도에서 퇴화효과가 더 작게 밝혀졌다. 일정한 유량과 고분자 농도에 대해서는 퇴화율이 주로 온도에 영향받는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 8$0^{\circ}C$의 온도, 100 ppm의 고분자 농도에서 4시간후에 마찰저항 감소효과가 없어졌다. 그러나, 열적퇴화는 고분자 분자들간의 결합력을 증가시켜 주는 것으로 생각되는 계면활성제 같은 추가적인 물질을 이용하여 극복할 수 있을 것이다.

컴퓨터 하드디스크 윤활제로 사용되고 있는 perfluoropolyether(PFPE) 유도체의 분해특성을 살펴보았다. 특히, 이들의 각기 다른 말단기가 분해특성에 미치는 영향을 중점적으로 고찰하였다. 분해 촉매로 사용된 알루미나 존재하에서 PFPE 유도체의 분해는 열분해와 함께 알루미나와의 화학반응에 의하여 발현된 알루미늄 플로라이드가 루이스 산으로 작용하여 진행되는 루이스 산 분해가 일어남을 알 수 있었다. 화학적으로 다른 PFPE 유도체의 말단기는 루이스 산 분해에 각기 다른 영향을 미치며 이는 말단기들의 전자 donating 능력이 다르기 때문으로 해석할 수 있다. 즉, PFPE 주사슬 내 동일한 반복 단위체를 가지더라도 유도체 말단기의 전자 donating 능력이 강할수록 반복 단위체 내의 아세탈기에 전자밀도가 높아지게 되어 루이스 산에 의한 분자 사슬 절단이 억제됨을 확인하였다.

The turbulent flow resistance of water solution with polymer is reduced as compared with that of pure water. This effects is named th drag reduction and offers the significant reduction of the pumping power and the energy consumption. But the intense shear forces and the high temperature experienced by the polymer solution when passing through the pipes cause the degradation a loss of drag reduction effectiveness. Especially, the degradation behavior is found to be strongly dependent on temperature. This mechanical and thermal degradation can be avoided by adding materials such as surfactant to the polymer solution, which enhance the bonding force between molecules. In the present study, Copolymer and SDS were utilized and they were mixed in 10 different mixture ratios, while total concentration was fixed as 100wppm. Degradation of Copolymer-SDS mixture solutions was investigated experimentally in closed loop at the temperature of $10^{\circ}C\; and\; 80^{\circ}C$ with various flow average velocities of 1.5 m/sec, 3.0m/sec, and 4.5m/sec. Degradation characteristics of polymer solution without surfactant show a radical loss of drag reduction effectiveness at high temperature. Degradation alleviation ability of surfactant is especially effective at high temperature. Consequently, this results show that the addition of surfactant to the polymer solution can control unfavorable degradation phenomena for high temperature systems.

세계는 지금 본격적인 에너지 기후시대로 도래했으며 녹색성장을 이끌 강력한 에너지 정책이 선진국가 진입의 초석으로 신재생에너지를 활용하여 미래의 에너지 자원으로 동력화하는 것이 21세기 에너지 수요를 충족시키는 개발 목표가 되고 있다. 최근 신재생에너지 개발의 필요성에 따라 해양에너지가 주목을 받고 있다. 해양에너지는 아직 개발되지 않은 가장 유망한 재생 및 청정에너지 자원 중 하나이다. 이에 따라 각 해역에 적합한 조류에너지 변환장치의 개발이 매우 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 조류발전용 터빈에 작용하는 유입각, 해저면 효과 및 공동현상 발생에 따른 효율의 변화를 후류유동특성을 통해 파악하였다. 계산 조건하에서 해저면 효과에 의한 효율저하는 크게 나타나지 않았고, 유입각은 10도 이상부터 효율 저하가 나타났고 45도에서는 출력계수가 7 % 낮게 계산되었다. 유입속도가 증가할수록 토크와 출력계수가 증가하였으나, 공동현상이 발생하는 3 m/s이상부터 오히려 출력저하가 나타났다. 또한 유동특성의 고찰을 통해 유입각이 크고 공동현상이 나타날수록 출력감소의 원인이 됨을 확인하였다.

Proton exchange membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE) is an efficient method for utilizing renewable energy sources such as wind and solar powers to produce green hydrogen. For PEMWE powered by renewable energy sources, its durability is a crucial factor in its performance since irregular and fluctuating characteristics of renewable energy sources, especially for wind power, can deteriorate the stability of PEMWE. Triangular voltage cycle is well able to simulate fluctuating wind power, but its effect on the durability has not been investigated extensively. In this study, the performance degradation of the PEMWE cell operated with the triangular voltage cycling was investigated at different ramping rates. The measured current responses during the cycling gradually decreased for both ramping rates, and I-V curve measurements before and after the cycling confirmed the degradation of the performances of PEMWE. For both measurements, the degradation rate was larger for 300 mV s^-1 than 30 mV s^-1, and they were determined as 0.36 and 1.26 mV h^-1 (at the current density of 2 A cm^-2) at the ramping rates of 30 and 300 mV s^-1, respectively. The comparison with other studies on triangular voltage cycling also indicate that an increase in the ramping rate accelerates the deterioration of the PEMWE performance. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy results showed that the Ir catalyst was oxidized and did not dissolve during the voltage cycling. This study suggests that the ramping rate of the triangular voltage cycling is an important factor for the evaluation of the durability of PEMWE cells.

To establish a thermodynamic basis for degradation, a hypothesis was made on the potential correlation between entropy and degradation for wear of machinery components. This paper reports an experimental study of wear of model machinery component pairs, on an accelerated testing basis. Measured were wear, friction, temperatures, and entropy flow. Results show a strong correlation between the referenced wear and the production of entropy flow. The hypothesis linking wear to entropy led to formulations consistent with the Archard/Holm wear law.

Epoxy nanocomposite was synthesized through the exfoliation of organoclay in an epoxy matrix, which was composed of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA), 4,4'-methylene dianiline (MDA) and malononitrile (MN). Organoclay was prepared by treating the montmorillonite with octadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (ODTMA). The exfoliation of the organoclay was estimated by wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) analysis. In order to measure the cure rate of DGEBA/MDA (30 phr)/MN (5 phr)/organoclay (3 phr), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis was performed at various heating rates, and the data were interpreted by Kissinger equation. Thermal degradation kinetics of the epoxy nanocomposite were studied by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and the data were introduced to the Ozawa equation. The activation energy for cure reaction was 45.8 kJ/mol, and the activation energy for thermal degradation was 143 kJ/mol.

Current seismic design codes do not contemplate explicitly some variables that are relevant for the design of structures subjected to ground motions exhibiting large energy content. Particularly, the lack of explicit consideration of the cumulative plastic demands and of the degradation of the hysteretic cycle may result in a significant underestimation of the lateral strength of reinforced concrete structures built on soft soils. This paper introduces and illustrates the use of a numerical performance-based methodology for the predesign of standard-occupation reinforced concrete ductile structures. The methodology takes into account two limit states, the performance of the non-structural system, and in the case of the life safety limit state, the effect of cumulative plastic demands and of the degradation of the hysteretic cycle on the assessment of structural performance.
