In this study, we report an investigation for the charging and collection of aerosol nanoparticles in an electrostatic precipitator (ESP) according to particle charging and diffusion effects. The competition between charging probability and diffusion effect determines the collection efficiency of nanoparticles in the ESP. In conclusion, collection efficiency continuously decreased with the reduction in the particle size. This indicates that poor partial charging effect of nanoparticles is more dominant than their diffusion effect in the ESP for the nanoparticles in the particle size range of 4-20 nm. Theoretical calculations using a unipolar diffusion charing theory were in good agreement with the experimental data for the nanoparticles less than 20 nm in diameter.

While text-to-image models have made remarkable progress in image synthesis, certain models, particularly generative diffusion models, have exhibited a noticeable bias to- wards generating images related to the culture of some developing countries. This paper introduces an empirical investigation aimed at mitigating the bias of image generative model. We achieve this by incorporating symbols representing Saudi culture into a stable diffusion model using the Dreambooth technique. CLIP score metric is used to assess the outcomes in this study. This paper also explores the impact of varying parameters for instance the quantity of training images and the learning rate. The findings reveal a substantial reduction in bias-related concerns and propose an innovative metric for evaluating cultural relevance.

시공지연 등으로 발생한 콜드조인트는 전단력에 취약하며 염화물 침투 및 확산을 촉진시킨다. 본 연구는 압축 및 인장하중과 콜드조인트 조건을 고려한 1년 양생된 콘크리트의 염화물 확산계수를 분석하였으며 선행연구인 91일 재령의 결과와 비교하였다. 91일 재령결과와 비교할 때, 하중을 재하하지 않은 일반적인 경우에는 건전부에서는 10.7%, 콜드조인트에서는 10.5%로 낮게 평가 되었다. 건전부와 콜드조인트의 감소율의 차이는 비슷하지만 염화물 확산계수는 콜드조인트에서 크게 발생하였다. 압축력 30%의 경우 건전부는 하중재하시 발생된 공극압밀로 인하여 확산계수가 감소하였다. 콜드조인트 콘크리트의 경우 365일 재령은 91일 재령보다 압축력 30%일 경우 10.9%, 압축력 60%일 경우 5.8% 확산계수가 낮게 평가되었는데, 이는 장기간 수중양생에 따른 지속적인 수화반응에 의해 확산계수가 낮게 평가되었기 때문이다. 인장력의 경우 압축부와는 다르게 동일 수준의 인장하중과 재령, 콜드조인트 유 무에 따른 확산계수의 차이가 비교적 크지 않았다. 이는 콘크리트가 1년 재령임에도 불구하고 인장력에 취약한 재료적 특성인 미세균열이 지배적인 영향으로 작용하였기 때문이다.

콘크리트는 경제적이고 내구성을 가진 건설재료지만, 염해에 노출될 경우 내부 철근부식으로 인한 성능저하를 나타낸다. 콘크리트로 침투하는 염화물 이온은 수화물의 생성, 공극률 감소 등으로 인해 감소하게 되며, 주로 시간에 따라 감소하는 염화물 확산계수를 통하여 염화물 거동이 구현되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 고로슬래그 미분말(GGBFS: Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag)과 보통포틀랜트 시멘트(OPC: Ordinary Portland Cement)를 사용한 고성능 콘크리트를 대상으로 염화물 확산계수, 통과전하, 강도를 재령효과를 고려하여 평가하였다. 이를 위해 물-결합재비를 3가지 수준(0.37, 0.42, 0.47), 치환률을 3가지 수준으로 (0%, 30%, 50%)를 고려한 콘크리트를 제조하였으며, 28일 및 180일 재령에 따라 시험을 수행하였다. OPC를 사용한 콘크리트에서는 물-결합재비가 낮은 배합에서 염화물 확산이 감소하였으며, GGBFS를 50% 혼입한 배합에서는 물-결합재비가 높은 경우 염화물 확산성이 크게 감소하였다. 28일 재령에서 GGBFS 치환률이 50%인 경우 강도의 증가보다 빠르게 염화물 확산계수와 통과전하의 감소가 평가되었으며, 이는 초기재령에서도 효과적으로 염화물 침투에 저항할 수 있음을 나타낸다.

This paper presents a novel load management technique that can lower the peak demand caused by package airconditioner loads in large apartment complex. An intelligent hierarchical load management system composed of a Central Intelligent Management System(CIMS) and multiple Local Intelligent Management Systems(LIMS) is proposed to implement the proposed technique. Once the required amount of the power reduction is set, CIMS issues tokens, which can be used by each LIMS as a right to turn on the airconditioner. CIMS creates and maintains a queue for fair and proper allocation of the tokens among the LIMS requesting tokens. By adjusting the number tokens and queue management policies, desired power reduction can be achieved smoothly. The Markov Birth and Death process and the Balance Equations utilizing the Diffusion Model are employed for evaluation of queue performances during transient periods until the static balances among the states are achieved. The proposed technique is tested using a summer load data of a large apartment complex and give promising results demonstrating the usability in load management while minimizing the customer inconveniences.

A novel Fission Diffusion Synthetic Acceleration (FDSA) method is developed and implemented as a part of a hybrid neutronics method for source convergence acceleration and variance reduction in Monte Carlo (MC) criticality calculations. The acceleration of the MC calculation stems from constructing a synthetic operator and solving a low-order problem using information obtained from previous MC calculations. By applying the P₁ approximation, two correction terms, one for the scalar flux and the other for the current, can be solved in the low-order problem and applied to the transport solution. A variety of one-dimensional (1-D) and two-dimensional (2-D) numerical tests are constructed to demonstrate the performance of FDSA in comparison with the standalone MC method and the coupled MC and Coarse Mesh Finite Difference (MC-CMFD) method on both intended purposes. The comparison results show that the acceleration by a factor of 3-10 can be expected for source convergence and the reduction in MC variance is comparable to CMFD in both slab and full core geometries, although the effectiveness of such hybrid methods is limited to systems with small dominance ratios.

Measurements of flame length, width and NOx emissions have been conducted to investigate the effect of an acoustic excitation on flame structure in turbulent hydrogen diffusion flames with coaxial air. The resonance frequency of oscillations was varied between 259 ,514 and 728 Hz with power rate of 0.405 and 2.88w. When these frequencies imposed to hydrogen flames, dramatic reduction of flame length and NOx emission was achieved. And acetone planar laser-induced fluorescence technique was used to measure a concentration of the near field of driven axisymmetric jet. The air-fuel stoichiometric line was plotted to investigate the mixing layer and development of air entrainment to fuel jet. Consequently, acoustic excitation on flame could enhance the air-fuel mixing resulting in abatement of NOx emission quantitatively.

Mercurous Bromide ($Hg_2Br_2$) crystals hold promise for many acousto-optic and opto-electronic applications. This material is prepared in closed ampoules by the physical vapor transport (PVT) growth method. We investigate the effects of solutal convection on the crystal growth rate in a horizontal configuration for diffusive-convection conditions and purely diffusion conditions achievable in a low gravity environment. Our results show that the growth rate is decreased by a factor of one-fourth with a ten reduction of gravitational acceleration near y = 2.0 cm. For 0.1 $g_O$ the growth rate pattern exhibits relatively flat which is intimately related to diffusion-dominated processes. The growth rate nonuniformity is regardless of aspect ratio across the interfacial positions from 0 to 1.5. Also, the effect of a factor of the ten reduction in the gravitational acceleration is same to both Ar = 5 and 2. The enlargement in the molecular weight of B from 50 to 500 by a factor 4 causes a decrease in the maximum growth rate by the same factor, indicative of the effect of solutal gradients.

The combustion characteristics of methane oxygen diffusion flames have been investigated to give basic information for designing industrial oxyfuel combustors. NOx reduction has become one of the most determining factors in the combustor design since the small amount of nitrogen is included from the current low cost oxygen production process. Flame lengths decreased with increasing fuel or oxygen velocity because of the enhancement of mixing effect. Correlation equation between flame length and turbulent kinetic energy was proposed. NOx concentration was reduced with increasing fuel or oxygen velocity because of the enhanced entrainment of the product gas into flame zone as well as the reduction of residence time in combustion zone.
