본 연구에서는 고수분 저등급 석탄을 저수분 석탄으로 만들기 위하여 실험실 규모의 회분식 스팀 유동층 건조기를 사용하여 수분이 약 26%함유된 인도네시아산 저등급 석탄을 5% 이하로 건조하였다. 일반적으로 이산화탄소 포집 및 저장기술(carbon capture and storage, CCS)은 $CO_2$를 재생하는 공정에서 $100{\sim}150^{\circ}C$의 스팀과 $CO_2$혼합가스를 배출한다. 이때 배출되는 가스의 열을 사용하여 저등급 석탄을 건조하는 것이 본 연구의 최종 목적이다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 건조의 열원으로 스팀을 사용하고, 유동화 가스는 $CO_2$를 사용하여 저등급 석탄을 건조하였다. 연구에 사용한 스팀의 유량은 0.3~1.1 kg/hr, 온도는 $100~130^{\circ}C$, 석탄의 층높이는 9~25 cm로 변화시켰다. 건조 후 석탄의 특성 변화는 공업분석, 발열량분석 그리고 입자크기 분석을 통하여 확인하였다. 변수 실험을 수행한 결과 원탄의 건조속도는 스팀의 유량과 온도가 증가함에 따라 증가하였고, 층높이가 감소할수록 건조속도가 증가하였다.

본 연구에서는 고정층 반응기(높이 15 cm, 내경 0.5 cm)에서 K-계열 건식 흡수제($K_2CO_3/Al_2O_3$, 한국전력공사 전력연구원)를 이용하여 반응압력 변화에 따른 염화수소 흡수 실험을 수행하였다. 반응온도는 가스화 직후, 필터를 거쳐서 주입되는 것을 가정하여 $400^{\circ}C$로 설정하였으며, 반응기체 농도는 750 ppm HCl ($N_2$ balance)으로 설정하였다. 반응압력은 1, 5, 10, 15, 20 bar로 증가시켰다. 압력이 증가할수록 K-계열 흡수제의 흡수 성능이 증가하였다. 흡수제를 구성하고 있는 주요 물질인 $K_2CO_3$가 HCl 가스와 반응하여 KCl 결정을 형성하였으며, 강한 결합에너지로 인하여 흡수제의 재생이 실질적으로 불가능하였다. 이에 대한 광학적, 물리적, 화학적 특성을 SEM, EDX, BET, TGA, XRD를 이용하여 분석하였다. $400^{\circ}C$, 20 bar 조건(가스화 이후 탈할로겐 공정의 온도 및 압력조건)에서 $K_2CO_3$ 흡수제는 Ca 계열 및 Mg 계열의 흡수제에 비해 높은 HCl 흡수능 및 HCl/$N_2$ 분리 거동을 보였다.

Energy savings can be achieved with optimum energy consumptions, brake energy regeneration, efficient energy storage (onboard, line side), and primarily with light weight vehicles. Over the last few years, the rolling stock industry has experienced a marked increase in eco-awareness and needs for lower life cycle energy consumption costs. For rolling stock vehicle designers and engineers, weight has always been a critical design parameter. It is often specified directly or indirectly as contractual requirements. These requirements are usually expressed in terms of specified axle load limits, braking deceleration levels and/or demands for optimum energy consumptions. The contractual requirements for lower weights are becoming increasingly more stringent. Light weight vehicles with optimized strength to weight ratios are achievable through proven design processes. The primary driving processes consist of: $\bullet$ material selection to best contribute to the intended functionality and performance $\bullet$ design and design optimization to secure the intended functionality and performance $\bullet$ weight control processes to deliver the intended functionality and performance Aluminium has become the material of choice for modern light weight bodyshells. Steel sub-structures and in particular high strength steels are also used where high strength - high elongation characteristics out way the use of aluminium. With the improved characteristics and responses of composites against tire and smoke, small and large composite materials made components are also found in greater quantities in today's railway vehicles. Full scale hybrid composite rolling stock vehicles are being developed and tested. While an "overdesigned" bodyshell may be deemed as acceptable from a structural point of view, it can, in reality, be a weight saving missed opportunity. The conventional pass/fail structural criteria and existing passenger payload definitions promote conservative designs but they do not necessarily imply optimum lightweight designs. The weight to strength design optimization should be a fundamental design driving factor rather than a feeble post design activity. It should be more than a belated attempt to mitigate against contractual weight penalties. The weight control process must be rigorous, responsible, with achievable goals and above all must be integral to the design process. It should not be a mere tabulation of weights for the sole-purpose of predicting the axle loads and wheel balances compliance. The present paper explores and discusses the topics quoted above with a view to strengthen the recommendations and needs for the weight optimization by design approach as a pro-active design activity for the rolling stock industry at large.

기존 아민 수용액 기반 CO₂ 포집 공정을 산업적으로 적용할 경우 CO₂ 탈거 및 용매 재생에 따른 재생 에너지가 크다는 문제점을 갖고 있다. 본 논문은 CO₂에 대한 높은 흡수 용량과 함께 흡수제에 포함된 물의 조성을 낮춤으로써 재생 에너지를 저감할 수 있는 저수계 흡수제를 제안하였다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 디아민인 MAPA (3-methylaminopropylamine)와 함께 물의 일부를 대신하여 물에 비해 CO₂에 대한 물리적 용해도가 높고 비열이 낮은 NMP (N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone)를 흡수제에 도입하였다. 흡수제의 CO₂에 대한 흡수 용량(α_rich)과 순환 흡수 용량(Δα) 및 흡수 속도는 충전탑을 이용하여 측정하였다. 2.5M의 MAPA를 포함한 흡수제를 사용했을 경우 NMP가 10 wt% 포함된 경우에 최대 순환 흡수 용량을 얻을 수 있었다. 총괄물질전달 계수는 NMP의 농도가 증가함에 따라 증가하였다. 그러나 0.5보다 더 높은 CO₂ 로딩 값에서는 NMP의 농도 증가에 따른 물질전달 계수의 증가 폭이 줄어들었다. lean 로딩 값이 낮은 경우에는 점성에 의한 물질전달 저항이 낮아서 NMP 첨가에 따라 총괄 물질전달 계수가 증가하나 로딩 값이 증가함에 따라 흡수제의 점도가 증가하면서 CO₂와 MAPA의 확산도가 낮아지며 이에 따라 총괄 물질전달계수가 급격히 감소하였다.

Castanopsis indica (Sil Batna) is an ecologically valuable multipurpose indigenous tree species of Bangladesh. Considering its high value but poor natural regeneration due to seed dormancy, the authors conducted an experiment at the Institute of Forestry and Environmental Sciences Chittagong University (IFESCU) during 2012-2013 to find out effective pre-sowing treatments. Ten pre-sowing seed treatments were applied on mature, even-sized seeds namely-control; sandpaper rubbing; nail clipping; immersion in normal water (at room temperature: 24℃) for 24 hrs., 48 hrs. and 72 hrs.; immersion in hot water (80℃) for 1 minute; soaking in 10% dilute H₂SO₄; soaking in 10% HCl for 5 minutes; and sowing in propagator house. Seeds sown after sandpaper rubbing at the distal end revealed best performances by providing highest germination percent (66.7%), germination energy (30%), germination index (0.17), germination rate (0.0145), germination value (30%) and plant percent (66.7%) within shortest period (38 days). The treatment also produced most vigor seedlings with 20.9 cm shoot height, 15 node number, and largest leaves (11.1 cm×2.9 cm). Hence, it is recommended to adopt sandpaper rubbing method for maximum germination and quality seedlings.

The purposes of this paper were to monitor the temperature rising courses and spark discharge of the modified granular activated carbon (GAC) by microwave (MW) irradiation and to evaluate absorption of benzene. The GAC coated on $SiO_2$, boron, talc, ferrite was named as the modified GAC. Thermal and spark discharge measurement of virgin GAC and modifed GAC has been carried out using a MW device operating at 2450 MHz under various energy conditions. The results of this paper as follows. First, the modified GAC is more efficient than the virgin GAC in temperature control. Temperature gradient of the modified GAC is more lower than that of virgin GAC. The temperature gradient of GAC was observed in the following order : virgin GAC, Mn-Zn ferrite/GAC, Ni-Zn ferrite,/GAC, $SiO_2/GAC$, Boron/GAC, Talc/GAC. Second, the spark discharge of the modified GAC was diminished, compared with that of virgin GAC. Because of its excellent electrical insulating properties, the coating material prevents the spark discharge. Finally, the benzene adsorption capacity of the modified GAC decreased due to diminishing of adsorption site by the coating material. Considering the temperature gradient and spark discharge of GAC, the GAC coated $SiO_2$ would be appropriate absorbent under irradiation of MW.

Power conversion system must be increased switching frequency in order to achieve a small size, a light weight and a low noise. However, the switches of converter are subjected to high switching power losses and switching stresses. As a result of those, the power system brings on a low efficiency. In this paper, the authors propose a DC-DC boost converter of high power by partial resonant switch method (PRSM). The switching devices in a proposed circuit are operated with soft switching and the control technique of those is simplified for switch to drive in constant duty cycle. The partial resonant circuit makes use of a inductor using step up and a condenser of loss-less snubber. Also the circuit has a merit which is taken to increase of efficiency, as it makes to a regeneration at input source of accumulated energy in snubber condenser without loss of snubber in conventional circuit. The result is that the switching loss is very low and the efficiency of system is high. The proposed converter is deemed the most suitable for high power applications where the power switching devices are used.

A prototype of the desiccant cooling system with a regenerative evaporative cooler was built and tested for the performance evaluation. The regenerative evaporative cooler is to cool a stream of air using evaporative cooling effect without an inc6rease in the humidity ratio. It is comprised of multiple pairs of dry and wet channels and the evaporation water is supplied only to the wet channels. By redirecting a portion of the air flown out of the dry channel into the wet channel, the air can be cooled down to a temperature lower than its inlet wet-bulb temperature at the outlet end of the dry channels. Incorporating a regenerative evaporative cooler eliminates the need for deep dehumidification in the desiccant rotor that is necessary to achieve low air temperature in the system with a direct evaporative cooler. Subsequently, the regenerative evaporative cooler enables the use of low temperature heat source to regenerate the dehumidifier permitting the desiccant cooling system more beneficial compared with other thermal driven air conditioners. At the ARI condition with the regeneration temperature of $60^{\circ}C$, the prototype showed the cooling capacity of 4.4 kW and COP of 0.75.
