The objective of this experiment was to study the influence of feed moisture content on the degree of enzymatic hydrolysis of com starch in a twin screw extruder and the saccharification yield of the dried extrudate. The feed moisture content was set at 25, 30, and 35% and ${\alpha}$-amylase solution was directly injected into the feed section at a barrel temperature of $95^{\circ}C$ and screw speed of 250 rpm. Amyloglucosidase was used for the saccharification of the dried extrudate at a concentration of 0.055%(w/w). Expansion ratio and swelling factor of extrudates decreased with increasing the feed moisture content. Addition of ${\alpha}$-amylase during extrusion process raised reducing sugar content of extrudates which also increased with the feed moisture content. The saccharification yield of dried extrudate was higher for the extrudate with lower feed moisture content.

The objective of this experiment was to investigate the effect of extrusion of ginseng roots in twin screw extruder on susceptibility of ginseng starch toward hydrolysis by ${\alpha}-amylase$ BAN 480L (Novozyme, Denmark) and cellulase Celluclast 150L and saccharification by amyloglucosidase AMG-E (Novozyme, Denmark). The extrusion was conducted at 22% and 30% moisture contents of feed at screw speed 300 rpm. Barrel temperature at zone 1 was adjusted at $100^{\circ}C$ and $120^{\circ}C$. The results showed that extrusion process improved the ginseng ${\alpha}-amylase$ susceptibility as compared to traditionally dried ginseng (white and red ginseng). Reducing sugar of hydrolyzed extruded samples was 2,500% of its initial concentration, whereas the reducing sugar of hydrolyzed non-extruded sample was only 200% of its initial concentration. However, addition of cellulase during liquefaction lowered the saccharification yield of both non-extruded and extruded samples as well.

Extrusion conditions for production of rice extrudate were studied. The optimal production conditions of rice extrudate were determined by the relationship between dependent variables such as expansion ratio, shear strength and color change and independent variables such as moisture content of raw material, screw speed, and die tem-perature of extruder. The textural quality of rice exturdate was significantly affected by the moisture content of raw material (x1), screw speed (x2), and die temperature (x3) of extruder. The expansion ratio of rice extrudate showed the highest value at the moisture content of 18% of raw material, and the lowest at 24%, and whose regression equation was Y=34.8967 - 3.219X1 - (0.623$\times$10-2)X2 + 0.136X3 + (0.648$\times$10-1)X12 + (0.138$\times$10-3)X1X2 + (0.456$\times$10-4)X22 + (0.719$\times$10-3)X1X3 -(0.515$\times$10-3)X2X3- (0.552$\times$10-3)X32. The most desirable texture of rice extrudate determined by shear test and sensory evaluation was obtained at the following conditions : mois-ture content of 18% of raw material, screw speed of 210 rpm and die temperature of 11$0^{\circ}C$. The rice extrudate prepared under the above conditions showed the lowest shear force of 954g at which the highest sensory score was obtained.

A rotordynamic analysis was performed with a decant-type centrifuge, which is a kind of industrial centrifuge. The system is composed of screw rotor, bowl rotor, driving motors, gear box, and support rolling element bearings. These rotors have a rated speed of 4300 rpm, and were modeled utilizing a rotordynamic FE method for analysis, which was verified through 3-D FE analysis. Design goals are to achieve wide separation margins of lateral critical speeds, and favorable unbalance responses of the rotor in the operating range. Then, a complex analysis rotordynamic analysis of the system was carried out to evaluate its forward synchronous critical speeds and mode shapes, whirl natural frequencies, and unbalance responses under various balance grade. As a result of analysis, the rotordynamic analysis performed by separating a screw rotor and bowl rotor may cause an error in predicting critical speed of entire system. Therefore, the rotordynamic analysis of a coupled rotor combining a screw and bowl rotor must be performed in order to more accurately estimate dynamic characteristics of the decanter-type centrifuge as presented in this paper. Also, rolling element bearings with suitable stiffness should be selected to keep enough separation margin. In addition, in establishing balance grade of a screw and bowl rotor, ISO G2.5 balance grade is more recommended than ISO G6.3, in particular balancing correction of a screw rotor based on ISO G2.5 grade is strongly recommended.

Friction stir welding and friction stir processing is a new solid state processing technique for ioining and micro..structural modification in metallic materials. It has been applied not only joining for light metals but also modification of the microstructure to enhance mechanical properties. In thin study, we investigated the mechanical properties for applied friction stir welding and processing under various parameters such as probe diameter, probe type, traveling speed and rotating speed for 5456-H116 AI allov. As a result of experiments, optimum condition of friction stir welding is traveling speed of 15mm/min, rotating speed of 500RPM at 6mm diameter probe. Moreover, in the case of friction stir processing, the optimum condition is traveling speed of 15mm/min, rotating speed of 250RPM at full screw probe. As above mentioned, the mechanical characteristics enhanced with the decreasing of traveling speed and the increasing of friction areas because of plastic flow due to high friction heat. These result can be used as reference data for ship repairment.

In analyzing the operational characteristics of a rice whitening machine, the internal radial pressure of the machine was measured using strain gage equipment. Changes in cylinder and feed screw configurations, screen type, cylinder speed and counter-pressure levels were examined to determine their impact on the quality and quantity of milled rice and the performance of the machine. The results are summarized as follows: 1. The internal radial pressure in the whitening chamber varied with the surface condition of the grain being processed. During the first or second pass through the machine, pressure was relatively low, reached a maximum after two to three passes with combinations I and II, three to six with combination III and then began to fall. 2. The pitch of the feed screw and the size of the feed gate opening which determine the rate of entry of grain into the whitening chamber, appeared to be the most important factor aff-::cting the degree of radial pressure, quality and quantity of milled rice and the efficiency of the machine. Using a feed screw with a wide pitch (4.8cm), radial pressure was relatively high and head rice recovery ratio \vere quite low. In this case capacity and machine effic?iency were much higher than obtained when using a feed screw with a narrow pitch (2.3cm). Very significant responses in radial pressure, head rice recovery rates and machine capacity were observed with changes in cylinder speed and counter-pressure levels when using the wide pitch feed screw. 3. The characteristics of the screen which surrounds the whitening chamber had an important effect on whitening efficiency. The existence of small protuberances on the original screen resulted in significant increases in both machine capacity and efficiency but without a significant decrease in head rice recovery or development of excessive radial pressure. Further work is required to determine the effects of screen surface conditions and the shape of the cylinderical steel roller on the rate of bran removal, machine efficiency and recovery rates. The size of the slotted perforations 0:1 the screen affects total milled rice recovery. The opening size on the original screen was fabricated to accommodate the round shape of Japonica rice varieties but was not suitable for the more slender Indica type. Milling Indica varieties with this screen resulted in a reduction in total milled rice recovery. 4. An increase in cylinder speed from 380 to 820 rpm produced a positive effect on head rice recovery for all machine combinations at every level of counter-pressure used in the tests. Head rice recovery was considerably lower at 380rpm using a wide screw pitch when compared to the results obtained at speeds from 600 to 820 r.p.m. The effects of cylinder speed On radial pressure, capacity and machine efficiency showed contrasting results, depending on the width of the feed screw pitch. With a narrow feed screw pitch (2.3cm), a direct proportional relationship was observed bet?ween cylinder speed and both radial pressure and machine efficiency. In contrast, using a 4.8 centimeter pitch feed roller produced a series of inverse relationships between the above variables. Based on the results of this study it is recommended when milling Indica type long grain rice varieties that the cylinder speed of the original machine be increased from 500-600 rmp up to a minimum of 800 rpm to obtain a greater abrasive effect between the grain and the screen. The pitch of the feed screw should be also reduced to decr?ease the level of internal radial pressure and to obtain higher machine efficiency and increased quality of milled rice with increased cylinder speeds. Further study on the interaction between cylinder speed and feed screw pitch is recommended. 5. An increase in the counter pressure level produced a negative effect On the head rice recovery with an increase in radial pressure, capacity, and machine efficiency over all combinations and at every level of cylinder speed. 6. Head rice recovery rates were conditioned primarily by the pressure inside the whitening chamber. According to the empirical cha racteristics curve developed in this study, the relationships of head rice recovery ($Y_h$) and machine capacity ($Y_c$/TEX>) to internal radial pressure ($X_p$) followed an inverse quadratic function and a linear function respectively: $$Y_h^\Delta=\frac{1}{{1.4383-0.2951X_p^\ast+0.1425X_p^{\ast\ast}}^2} , (R^2=0.98)$$$$Y_c^\Delta=-305.83+374.37X_p^{\ast\ast}, (R^2=0.88)$$The correlation between capacity and power consumption per unit of brown rice expressed in the following exponential function: $$Y_c^\Delta=1.63Y_c^{-0.7786^\{\ast\ast}, (R^2=0.94)$$These relationships indicate that when radial pressure increases above a certain range (1. 6 to 2.0 kg/$cm^2$ based On the results of the experiment) head ricerecovery decrea?ses in a quadratic relation with a inear increase in capacity but without any decrease in power consump tion per unit of brown rice. On the other hand, if radial pressure is below the range shown above, power consumption increases dramatically with a lin?ear decrease in capacity but without significant increases in head rice recovery. During the operation of a given whitening machine, the optimum radial pressure range or the correct capacity range should be selected by controlling the feed rate and/or counter-pressure keeping in mind the condition of the grain, particulary the hardness. It was observed that the total number of passes is related to radial pessure level, feed rate and counter-pressure level. The higher theradial pressure the fewer num?ber of pass required but with decreased head rice recovery. In particular, when using high feed rates, the total number of passes should be increased to more than three by reducing the counter-pressure level to avoid decreaseases in head rice recovery (less than 65 percent head rice recovery on the basis of brown rice) at every cylinder speed. 7. A rapid rise in grain temperature seemed to have a close relationship with the pressure generated inside the whitening chamber and, subsequently with head rice reco?very rates. The higher the rate of increase, the lower were the resulting head rice recoveries.

학생들이 사용한 세 가지 NiTi file systems (ProFile$^{(R)}$, Hero Shaper$^{(R)}$, K3$^{TM}$)을 사용하여 성형한 모형 근관의 apical terminus width를 비교하여 flute angle 및 pitch 혹은 radial land가 screw-in effect에 미치는 효과를 알아보고자 하였다. NiTi file의 사용 경험이 없는 부산대학교 치과대학 4학년 학생 50명이 세 종류의 NiTi file systems- Pro File$^{(R)}$ (Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland), K3$^{TM}$ (SybronEndo, Glendora, France), Hero Shaper$^{\circledR}$(Micromega, Besancon, France)-을 사용하여 각 system으로 하나의 근관씩, 모두 150 개의 레진 블락 근관모형 (Endo Training Bloc; Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland)을 16 : 1 감속 handpiece를 장착한 electric motor (Tecnika ATR, Pistola, Italy)를 사용하여 300 rpm의 속도에서 torque는 30 (Tecnikamotor setting value)으로 성형하였다. 스캐너로 근관 성형 전 후 이미지를 채득하여 중첩한 후 근단부의 최종 폭경을 측정하였다. 통계분석은 one-way ANOVA와 95% 신뢰도의 Scheffe's multiple range test로 사후 검증하였다. ProFile$^{(R)}$의 근관 성형 후 근단부의 폭이 Hero Shaper$^{(R)}$ and K3$^{TM}$에 비해 통계학적으로 유의하게 작았다. 본 연구의 결과에서 근단부의 과도한 확대가 variable pitch와 helical angle를 가진active file에 비해 con-stant pitch와 helical angle을 가짐에도 불구하고 radial land를 가진passive file에서 적게 나타났다. 이 결과로 추정해 볼 때, variable pitch와 helical angle보다는 근본적으로 radial land가 screw-in effect의 예방에 더 큰 역할을 하는 것으로 추정될 수 있다 따라서 NiTi file의 사용 경험이 없는 초심자의 경우 근단부 폭경의 유지능력이 좋은 ProFile$^{(R)}$의 사용이 추천된다.

Melt-blown 방사법으로 Ba-ferrite 포함하는 PP 복합수지를 방사하여 부직포 섬유를 제조하는 공정에서 방사공정인자와 부직포 특성과의 상관관계를 조사하였다. PP 수지와 Ba-ferrite 분말을 혼합한 후 단축 압출 성형기를 이용하여 펠렛 형태로 제조하고 Melt-blown 섬유 방사기를 이용하여 screw turning force (rpm)와 DCD (die-to-collector distance)를 변화시켜 Ba-ferrite 분말이 부직포 섬유의 기계적, 열적, 결정학적 및 자성 특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. SEM 관찰을 통하여 방사 거리가 증가할수록 혹은 screw turning force가 감소할수록 부직포 섬유의 연신율이 증가하고, 섬유의 직경 및 인장강도가 감소하는 것을 알 수 있었고, XRD 측정 결과로부터 방사거리의 증가는 섬유의 결정성을 높이는 것으로 관찰되었다. 복합 부직포에서는 입자가 고분자와 분리되어 고분자와 입자간의 결합력이 떨어져 순수한 PP대비 인장강도가 감소하였다. Ba-ferrite 분말에 의한 부직포의 자성적 성질을 보면 방사거리에 따라 보자력, 최대 자화, 잔류 자화 값은 감소하였다. TGA 측정을 통한 부직포 섬유의 내열성 시험 결과는 방사거리의 감소에 따라 내열성이 증가하였으며 난연성은 Ba-ferrite 분말의 함량 증가에 따라 증가하였다.

15% 비율로 가수한 corn grit 원료를 reverse element 수를 달리한 스크류 조합을 사용한 실험실용 동방향 회전 이축 압출성형기로 extrusion cooking할 때, 각 스크류 조합에서 원료 투입량($30{\sim}60\;kg/hr$), 스크류 회전속도($200{\sim}400\;rpm$) 및 die hole 수($2{\sim}4$개) 등의 process parameters 변화에 대한 system parameters(압출온도 및 압력, 기계적 에너지 소모율 및 평균체류시간)의 변화 양상을 다중회기분산 분석을 통하여 분석하였다. 원료 투입량이 증가할 수록, 압출온도, 기계적 에너지 소모율 및 평균체류시간이 감소하는 경향을 보인 반면에 알출압력은 증가하였다. 그리고, 스크류 회전속도가 증가할 수록, 압출온도, 기계적 에너지 소모율 및 압출압력이 증가하는 경향을 보였으나, 평균체류시간은 감소하였다. 그러나 die hole 수가 증가할 수록, 측정한 4가지 system parameters는 모두 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 이러한 경향은 reverse element의 수를 증가시킨 스크류 조합을 사용한 경우에 더욱 뚜렸이 나타나는 결과를 보여 주었다. 이상의 결과를 각 스크류 조합에서 각각의 system parameters와 process parameters를 독립변수로 하는 함수식으로 나타낼 수 있었고, 이 때 각 함수식의 상관관계는 0.90 이상 이었다.
