The aviation gas turbine is composed of many expensive and highly precise parts and operated in high pressure and temperature gas. When breakdown or performance deterioration occurs due to the hostile environment and component degradation, it severely influences the aircraft operation. Recently to minimize this problem the third generation of predictive maintenance known as condition based maintenance has been developed. This method not only monitors the engine condition and diagnoses the engine faults but also gives proper maintenance advice. Therefore it can maximize the availability and minimize the maintenance cost. The advanced gas turbine health monitoring method is classified into model based diagnosis (such as observers, parity equations, parameter estimation and Gas Path Analysis (GPA)) and soft computing diagnosis (such as expert system, fuzzy logic, Neural Networks (NNs) and Genetic Algorithms (GA)). The overview shows an introduction, advantages, and disadvantages of each advanced engine health monitoring method. In addition, some practical gas turbine health monitoring application examples using the GPA methods and the artificial intelligent methods including fuzzy logic, NNs and GA developed by the author are presented.

P-type (100) Si wafer patterned with 1000$\AA$ SiO$_2$island was used as substrate and the Si films were deposited under low pressure using Si$_2$H$_{6}$-H$_2$gas mixture where the total gas flow rate and deposition pressure were 16.6sccm and 3.5mtorr, respectively. In this condition, we selectively obtained high-quality epitaxial Si layer of the 350~1050$\AA$ thickness. In order to extend the incubation period, we kept high pressure H$_2$ environment without Si$_2$H$_{6}$ gas for few minutes after first incubation period and then we conformed the existence of second incubation period.iod.

Although the anthracite power plant is an important source of greenhouse gas, research on this type of power plant has not been conducted much. The present study investigated the entire anthracite power plants in Korea and analyzed the emitted gas in connection with GC/FD and a methanizer in order to develop $CO_2$ emission factors. The study also sampled the anthracite to analyze the amount of carbon and hydrogen using an element analyzer, and to measure the calorie using an automatic calorie analyzer. The emission factors computed through the fuel analysis was 30.45 kg/GJ and that computed through the $CO_2$ gas analysis was 26.48 kg/GJ. The former is approximately about 15% higher than the latter. When compared the carbon content factors of anthracite with that of bituminous coal, the value of anthracite was 24% higher Compared with IPCC values, the emission factors by the fuel was 14% higher, and that by the emitted $CO_2$ gas was about 1.2% lower. More research is needed on our own emission factors of various energy-consuming facilities in order to stand on a higher position in international negotiations regarding the treaties on climate changes.

Among various types of harmful gases, hydrogen sulfide is a strong toxic gas that is mainly generated during spillage and wastewater treatment at industrial sites. Hydrogen sulfide can irritate the conjunctiva even at low concentrations of less than 10 ppm, cause coughing, paralysis of smell and respiratory failure at a concentration of 100 ppm, and coma and permanent brain loss at concentrations above 1000 ppm. Therefore, rapid detection of hydrogen sulfide among harmful gases is extremely important for our safety, health, and comfortable living environment. Most hydrogen sulfide gas sensors that have been reported are electrical resistive metal oxide-based semiconductor gas sensors that are easy to manufacture and mass-produce and have the advantage of high sensitivity; however, they have low gas selectivity. In contrast, the electrochemical sensor measures the concentration of hydrogen sulfide using an electrochemical reaction between hydrogen sulfide, an electrode, and an electrolyte. Electrochemical sensors have various advantages, including sensitivity, selectivity, fast response time, and the ability to measure room temperature. However, most electrochemical hydrogen sulfide gas sensors depend on imports. Although domestic technologies and products exist, more research is required on their long-term stability and reliability. Therefore, this study includes the processes from electrode material synthesis to sensor fabrication and characteristic evaluation, and introduces the sensor structure design and material selection to improve the sensitivity and selectivity of the sensor. A sensor case was fabricated using a 3D printer, and an Ag reference electrode, and a Pt counter electrode were deposited and applied to a Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) filter using PVD. The working electrode was also deposited on a PTFE filter using vacuum filtration, and an electrochemical hydrogen sulfide gas sensor capable of measuring concentrations as low as 0.6 ppm was developed.

기후변화 문제에 대응한 온실가스 감축 방안 중 하나로 정부는 바이오가스의 공급 확대를 추진하고 있다. 이를 위한 정책수단의 일환으로 신재생연료혼합의무제(RFS)의 도입이 논의되고 있는데 여기에는 바이오가스도 포함된다. 이에 따라, 본 논문에서는 2011년에 발표된 투입산출표를 이용한 투입산출 분석을 통해 RFS 도입이 가져올 바이오가스 공급 확대의 경제적 파급효과를 분석하고자 한다. RFS의 도입 내용을 감안할 때 바이오가스 공급부문은 액화석유가스 공급부문 및 도시가스 공급부문으로 구성된다. 따라서 이들 2개 부문을 바이오가스 공급부문으로 정의한 후 바이오가스 공급 확대가 가져올 경제적 파급효과로 생산유발효과, 부가가치 유발효과, 취업유발효과를 분석한다. 추가적으로 바이오가스 공급부문의 공급차질로 인한 부정적 파급효과를 의미하는 공급지장효과 및 바이오가스 공급부문 제품가격 변동이 가져올 물가파급효과도 분석한다. 분석결과 바이오가스 공급부문에서의 1원의 투자 혹은 생산이 가져오는 생산유발효과 및 부가가치 유발효과는 각각 1.0539원 및 0.1998원이다. 아울러 10억원 투자 혹은 생산의 취업유발효과는 0.5279명, 바이오가스 공급부문의 공급지장효과는 1.6229원, 바이오가스 공급부문의 산출물 가격 10% 인상의 물가파급효과는 0.0183%로 분석되었다.

도시가스 사용시설 중 은폐배관에 점검구를 대신하여 누출점검용 가스계량기를 사용하는 사례가 증가하고 있다. 이 계량기가 설치되어 있는 일부 세대 중 실제 가스누출이 없는 환경에서 보일러의 특수한 사용 패턴에 따라 누출 알람 경보가 지속적으로 발생되었다. 실제 가스 누출을 감지하는 본연의 기능을 발휘하지 못하는 실정이다. 이러한 문제점에 착안하여 본 연구에서는 보일러의 특수한 가스 사용 패턴에 따라 누출점검용 가스 계량기가 누출 알람을 발생시키는 조건을 분석하고, 실제 가스 누출이 있는 경우에만 계량기에서 알람을 발생 할 수 있는 설정값을 모색해 보았다. 이를 통해 알람의 오작동으로 인한 시민의 가스 사용에 대한 불안감을 해소함과 동시에 누출되고 있는 가스를 포착할 수 있는 계량기 본연의 기능을 수행할 수 있도록 하고자 한다.

In this study, we produced a light, flexible, wearable gas sensor by depositing MWCNTs (Multi-walled Carbon Nanotubes) into nylon. MWCNTs are widely used as a gas sensor material due to their excellent mechanical, electrical and physical characteristics. We produced a gas sensor to detect NOx gases by depositing nylon yarn in a MWCNT solution. The MWCNT solution was made by mixing 3 mg MWCNT in 5 ml of ethanol. Nylon yarn was placed in the manufactured solution and ultrasonic waves were applied using an ultrasonicator for 3 h, resulting in MCWNT deposition. The MWCNT-deposited nylon yarn was dried at room temperature for 24 h. The MWCNT-thin-film-coated nylon yarn was masked 1 mm apart, and gold was then deposited on the masked nylon yarn to create the gas sensor. The sensor then was installed in a chamber with a controlled atmospheric environment and exposed to NOx gas. The changing signal from the sensor was amplified to analyze its gas detection characteristics.

We present the properties of circumnuclear gas associated with the AGN located in the center of Abell 1644-South. A1644-S is the main cluster in a merging system, which is also known for gas sloshing in its core as seen in X-ray. The X-ray emission of A1644-S shows a rapidly declining profile, indicating the presence of cooling gas flow. This flow of cool gas may fuel the supermassive black hole embedded in the brightest cluster galaxy, leading to the activation of the central AGN. Indeed, we find a parsec-scale bipolar jet feature in the center of A1644-S in our recent KaVA observation, which implies that its central AGN is likely to have been (re)powered quite recently. In order to verify the hypothesis that cooling gas flow in the cluster core can (re)activate the central AGN, we probe the cold gas properties of the central 1 kpc region of A1644-S using the archival VLA and ALMA data. Based on the spatially resolved morphology and kinematics of HI and CO gas, we challenge to identify inflow/outflow gas streams and clumps. We study the role of circumnuclear cool gas in fueling the centrally located cluster AGN in the cool-core environment. We also discuss how the feedback due to the (re)powered AGN affects the surrounding medium.

There are various polluting emissions related to the air quality such as $NO_x$, $CO_2$, CO, VOCs, $O_3$, $SO_2$, $CH_4$, $H_2S$, $NH_3$, etc. We need the system that reduces emission of these environment gases and detects risk factors in modern society. Therefore, if we use the USN(Ubiquitous Sensor Network) technology and a MAV(Micro Air Vehicle) Quad Rotor which can be hovering and moving free for setting up the environment gas sensing system, the realtime measurement on environment gases is facilitated and by extension, in application of traffic watchdog, forest fire surveillance and counter-terrorism efforts, we anticipate making better use of a Quad Rotor.
