Ten strains of the entomopathogenic fungi Metarhizium anisopliae and Beauveria bassiana were evaluated to find the most effective strain for optimization studies. The first criterion tested for strain selection was the mortality (> 50%) of Spodoptera litura larvae after inoculation of the fungus for 4 days. Results on several bioassays revealed that B. bassiana BNBCRC showed the most virulence on mortality S. litura larvae (80% mortality). B. bassiana BNBCRC also showed the highest germination rate (72.22%). However, its conidia yield ($7.2{\times}10^8$ conidia/mL) was lower than those of B. bassiana B 14841 ($8.3{\times}10^8$ conidia/mL) and M. anisopliae M6 ($8.2{\times}10^8$ conidia/mL). The highest accumulative radial growth was obtained from the strain B14841 (37.10 mm/day) while the strain BNBCRC showed moderate radial growth (24.40 mm/day). M. anisopliae M6 possessed the highest protease activity (145.00 mU/mL) while M. anisopliae M8 possessed the highest chitinase activity (20.00 mU/mL) during 96~144 hr cultivation. Amongst these criteria, selection based on virulence and germination rate lead to the selection of B. bassiana BNBCRC. B. bassiana B14841 would be selected if based on growth rate while M. anisopliae M6 and M8 possessed the highest enzyme activities.

The large eddy simulation (LES) of the flow around a circular cylinder is not only affected by the sub-grid scale (SGS) model but also by the grid resolution of the computational domain. To study the influence of different grids on the LES results, the LES simulations of the flow around a circular cylinder with different grids at Reynolds number (Re) = 3900 was performed. A circular computational domain with different radial growth rates and circumferential and spanwise grid numbers was adopted for the simulations. Meanwhile, the aerodynamic forces, wind pressure coefficients, mean and instantaneous flow fields, and the effect of grid resolution on them were comprehensively analyzed. The results indicate that the lift coefficient, wind pressure coefficient, and recirculation length are significantly affected by the radial growth rate of the grid and the circumferential grid number. The spanwise grid number has a significant influence on the three-dimensionality of the flow and plays an important role in velocity fluctuations in the wake region. Nevertheless, the aerodynamic coefficients and recirculation length are not sufficiently sensitive to the grid number in the spanwise direction. By comparing the results, it can be concluded that suitable and reliable LES results can be obtained when the radial growth rate is 1.03 or 1.05, the circumferential grid number is 160, 200, or 240, and the spanwise grid number is 64. A radial growth rate 1.05, circumferential grid number 160, and spanwise grid number 64 are recommended to reduce the grid amount and further improve the efficiency.

Soot particles emitted from combustion processes are often coated by non-absorbing organic materials, which enhance the global warming effect of soot particles. It is of importance to study the condensation characteristics of soot particles experimentally and theoretically to reduce the uncertainty of the climate impact of soot particles. In this study, the condensational growth of soot particles in a tubular coater was modeled by a one-dimensional (1D) plug flow model and a two-dimensional (2D) laminar flow model. The effects of 2D heat and mass transports on the predicted particle growth were investigated. The temperature and coating material vapor concentration distributions in radial direction, which the 1D model could not accounted for, affected substantially the particle growth in the coater. Under the simulated conditions, the differences between the temperatures and vapor concentrations near the wall and at the tube center were large. The neglect of these variations by the 1D model resulted in a large error in modeling the mass transfer and aerosol dynamics occurring in the coater. The 1D model predicted the average temperature and vapor concentration quite accurately but overestimated the average diameter of the growing particles considerably. At the outermost grid, at which condensation begins earliest due to the lowest temperature and saturation vapor concentration, condensing vapor was exhausted rapidly because of the competition between condensations on the wall and on the particle surface, decreasing the growth rate. At the center of the tube, on the other hand, the growth rate was low due to high temperature and saturation vapor concentration. The effects of Brownian diffusion and thermophoresis were not high enough to transport the coating material vapor quickly from the tube center to the wall. The 1D model based on perfect radial mixing could not take into account this phenomenon, resulting in a much higher growth rate than what the 2D model predicted. The result of this study indicates that contrary to a previous report for a thermodenuder, 2D heat and mass transports must be taken into account to model accurately the condensational particle growth in a coater.

Hydride reorientation behaviors of PWR cladding tubes under typical interim dry storage conditions were investigated with the use of as-received 250 and 485ppm hydrogen-charged Zr-Nb alloy cladding tubes. In order to evaluate the effect of typical cool-down processes on the radial hydride precipitation, two terminal heat-up temperatures of 300 and $400^{\circ}C$, as well as two terminal cool-down temperatures of 200 and $300^{\circ}C$, were considered. In addition, two cooling rates of 2.5 and $8.0^{\circ}C/min$ during the cool-down processes were taken into account along with zero stress or a tensile hoop stress of 150MPa. It was found that the 250ppm hydrogen-charged specimen experiencing the higher terminal heat-up temperature and the lower terminal cool-down temperature generated the highest number of radial hydrides during the cool-down process under 150MPa hoop tensile stress, which may be explained by terminal solid hydrogen solubilities for precipitation, and dissolution and remaining circumferential hydrides at the terminal heat-up temperatures. In addition, the slower cool-down rate generates the larger number of radial hydrides due to a cooling rate-dependent, longer residence time at a relatively high temperature that can accelerate the radial hydride nucleation and growth.

A global-local finite element modeling technique is employed in this paper to predict the fatigue life of radial truck tires. This paper assumes that a flaw exists inside the tire, in the local model. The local model uses an FEM fracture analysis in conjunction with a global-local technique in ABAQUS. A 3D finite element local model calculates the energy release rate at the belt edge. Using the analysis of the local model, a study of the energy release rate is performed in the crack region and used to determine the crack growth rate analysis. The result considers how different driving conditions contribute to the detrimental effects of belt separation in truck tire failure. The calculation of the total mileage on four sizes of radial truck tires has performed on the belt edge separation. The effect of the change of belt width design on the fatigue lifetime of tire belt separation is discussed.

결정성장 조건을 달리하여 공공관련 결함들의 발생영역의 크기가 다르게 형성되도록 성장한 실리콘 결정에서 반경 방향의 산소석출 거동을 고찰하였다. 반경 방향의 산소석출 거동은 결정성장 조건에 따른 공공 영역의 크기에 의존적이다. 반경 방향의 산소석출 거동은 공공우세 영역이 격자간원자 우세영역보다 산소석출이 증가한다. 또한 공공우세 영역과 격자간원자 우세영역 가장자리에서는 비정상적으로 산소석출이 크게 증가한다. 이 두 영역 경계에서는 산소석출이 거의 일어나지 않는다.

8인치 쵸크랄스키 실리콘 단결성 성장에 있어서, 계면에서의 온도기울기, 산소, 농도 및, 반경방향의 산소농도 분포에 미치는 아르곤 가스 유동의 영향을 조사하였다. 아르곤의 유입량을 증가시킴에 따라 계면 근처 결정내 온도기울기가 증가하였으며. 결정내 산소농도는 감소하였다. 한편, 반경방향의 산소농도 균일성은 악화됨이 관찰되었다. 실험 결과를 종합하여 볼 때, 아르곤 유동이 산소 농도 및 균일 분포성 등의 결정 특성에 중요한 영향을 미치는 성장 공정변수임을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 연구는 4개 종자산지(Yugoslavia, Italy, United Kingdom, Bulgary)의 글루티노사오리나무(24년생)를 대상으로 물리적 특성을 조사하여 생장(평균연륜폭)과 목재의 재질관계를 규명하였다. 함수율, 밀도, 수축률 및 T/R비는 모두 산지간에 차이가 없었다. 또한 이런 성질들은 생장과도 관계가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 종자산지가 다른 글루티노사오리나무의 중요한 재질지표인 밀도와 수축률의 경우, 생장의 차이에 따라 밀도와 수축률이 차이가 거의 없는 것으로 나타나, 생장이 우수한 것이 우수품종의 기준일 것으로 생각된다.

본 연구에서는 잔사회와 준설토로 제조된 구형의 인공경량골재 내부에 생성되는 방사형 균열의 원인 및 그 억제 방법에 대하여 연구하였다. 인공경량골재는 잔사회와 준설토를 각각 7 : 3의 무게 비로 혼합하고 직경이 5~20 mm인 구 형태로 성형한 후 $1200^{\circ}C$에서 10분간 직화소성법으로 제조하였다. 골재 내부의 균열은 골재 지름이 작을수록 발생이 억제되었다. 또한 $SiO_2$ 분말을 첨가한 경우, 분말의 크기가 클수록 또는 첨가량이 증가할수록 방사형 균열 발생이 억제되었다. 균열이 억제된 인공경량골재의 비중은 1.3~1.6이고, 흡수율은 5~20 %의 범위를 나타내었다. 따라서 본 논문에서 제조된 인공경량골재는 건설 및 환경소재 등 여러 분야에 적용 가능할 것으로 보이며, 더불어 잔사회 및 준설토의 재활용율을 높이는데 크게 기여할 것으로 기대된다.
