In this paper, it is proposed how to implement the object detection system which is able to apply to vehicular applications, unmanned facilities, automatic door and others with microwave. As the technology which detects an object with microwave is becoming more popular, it seems impossible to avoid mutual interference and jamming caused by limited frequency bandwidth. The system in this paper detects an object by correlating the code of TX and RX signals with the pseudo-random code having best quality in interference and jamming environment. In order to generate simulant doppler signal for detecting the distance of an fixed object where there is no doppler effect, the phase of TX signal is shifted continually. Also, the saturation of receiver was removed and the error of distance measurement was decreased by controlling the power of TX signal for getting constant RX signal. The proposed system detects a object which ranges from 0.5 m to 2.0 m and informs vocally whether there is the object within 1.0 m or not.

This study investigated sensitivity of the gas sensor to chemical weapons with the sensor material doped with catalysts. The nano-sized SnO2 powder mixed with metal oxides (TiO2) was doped with transition metals(Pt, Pd and In). Thick film of nano-sized SnO2 powder with TiO2 was prepared by screen-printing method onto Al2O3 substrates with platinum electrode and chemical precipitation method. The physical and chemical properties of sensor material were investigated by SEM/EDS, XRD and BET analyzers. The measured sensitivity to simulant toxic gas is defined as the percentage of resistance of value equation, [(Ra-Rg)/$Ra\;{\times}100$)], that of the resistance(Ra) of SnO2 film in air and the resistance(Rg) of SnO2 film in acetonitrile gas. The best sensitivity and selectivity of these thick film were shown with 1wt.% Pd and 1wt.% TiO2 for acetonitile gas at the operating temperature of $250^{\circ}C$.

Hot-fire test of a turbopump for a gas generator cycle rocket engine of 30 ton class was carried out in real propellant environment. Liquid oxygen and kerosene were used for the oxidizer pump and the fuel pump, respectively, while hot gas produced by the gas generator was supplied to the turbine. A part of the propellant discharged from the pumps was provided to the gas generator. The turbopump was run stably at both on-design and off-design conditions, satisfying all the performance requirements. This paper describes one of the test cases, where the turbopump was run for 120 seconds at three different operating modes in one test. In terms of performance characteristics of pumps and turbine, the results from turbopump assembly test using real propellant showed a good agreement with those from the turbopump component tests using simulant working fluid.

By using liquid and gaseous nitrogen as simulants, effects of pintle opening distance and simulant supplying condition on spray from pintle injector were investigated qualitatively. The experiment was performed by fixing the liquid supply pressure and varying the opening of the pintle and the supply pressure of gaseous nitrogen. Shadowgraph method with CCD camera was used for image visualization, and the differences of liquid-gas spray were compared by image post processing. In case of liquid nitrogen single injection, as the opening distance was increased, the injection speed was decreased. Therefore, the end of liquid sheet were converged to the center of spray. In the case of liquid nitrogen/Gaseous nitrogen spray, although shadowgraph images look similar to each other, It is shown that it can be analysed by image post processing.

Knowledge of how metal releases from the stainless steels used in food processing applications and cooking utensils is essential within the framework of human health risk assessment. A new European standard test protocol for testing metal release in food contact materials made from metals and alloys has recently been published by the Council of Europe. The major difference from earlier test protocols is the use of citric acid as the worst-case food simulant. The objectives of this study were to assess the effect of citric acid at acidic, neutral, and alkaline solution pH on the extent of metal release for stainless steel grades AISI 304 and 316, commonly used as food contact materials. Both grades released lower amounts of metals than the specific release limits when they were tested according to test guidelines. The released amounts of metals were assessed by means of graphite furnace atomic absorption spectroscopy, and changes in the outermost surface composition were determined using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The results demonstrate that both the pH and the complexation capacity of the solutions affected the extent of metal release from stainless steel and are discussed from a mechanistic perspective. The outermost surface oxide was significantly enriched in chromium upon exposure to citric acid, indicating rapid passivation by the acid. This study elucidates the effect of several possible mechanisms, including complex ion- and ligand-induced metal release, that govern the process of metal release from stainless steel under passive conditions in solutions that contain citric acid.

Nerve gas sensor based on tin oxide was fabricated and its characteristics were examined. Target gas was dimethylmethylphosphonate($C_3H_9O_3P$, DMMP) that is simulant gas of nerve gas. Sensing material was $SnO_2$ added ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ with $4{\sim}20wt.%$ and was physically mixed. And then it was deposited by screen printing method on alumina substrate. Sensor device was consisted of sensing electrode with interdigit(IDT) type in front and heater in back side. Total size of device was $7{\times}10{\times}0.6mm^3$. Crystallite size of fabricated $SnO_2$ were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD, Rigaku) and morphology of the $SnO_2$ powders was observed by a scanning electron microscope(SEM, Hitachi). Fabricated sensor was measured as flow type and sensor resistance change was monitored real time using LabVIEW program. The best conditions as added $Al_2O_3$ amounts and operating temperature changes were 4wt.% and $300^{\circ}C$ in DMMP 0.5ppm, respectively. The sensitivity was over 75%. Response and recovery times were about 1 and 3 min., respectively. Repetition measurement was very good with ${\pm}3%$ in full scale.

The effect of food simulants on properties and light barrier function of LDPE-nano $TiO_2$ composite film has been investigated. LDPE-nano $TiO_2$ composite films were prepared with 5.0wt% $TiO_2$ content by melt-extrusion. To simulate food contact environment, according to KFDA standards and specifications for food utensils, containers and packages, food simulants were selected with deionized water, 50% ethanol, 4% acetic acid and n-heptane and composite films were immersed in each food simulant at $70^{\circ}C$, 30 min except n-heptane ($25^{\circ}C$, 60 min). A variety of material properties, including crystallinity, chemical bonds, surface morphology, mechanical, oxygen barrier and optical properties, of LDPE-nano $TiO_2$ composite film were examined with and without the food simulants treatment. As a result, under regulated migration condition, LDPE-nano $TiO_2$ composite showed extremely stable in all properties tested in the study in contact with food simulants indicating that $TiO_2$ nanoparticles are physicochemically stable and quite compatible with LDPE. Results enable us to anticipate migration of $TiO_2$ will probably not occur. To evaluate influence of migration of $TiO_2$ on food stuffs, their color, pH and acidity were observed as well.

Packaging materials and articles that are used in food contact applications can transfer constituents in the foodstuffs. This kind of risk of possible health hazards to consumers has been generally recognized for a long time with the consequence of establishing corresponding food regulations in most developed countries. However, the language of these laws, their interpretation, and their level of enforcement vary from country to country. Accordingly, the actual migrating levels from packaging materials can be varied depending on the migration testing methods as prescribed in the national legislation in each countries. Therefore, there are needs of elimination of non-tariff trade barriers raised by sanitary and phytosanitary or technical measures under the Final Act of the UR Agreement. In this connection, the EU and USA are currently in an ongoing process of legislation harmonization to overcome potential barriers to free trade. In general, regulations governing component transfer in the USA are more complicated and comprehensive than similar regulations in Europe. In future, standard migration testing procedures for microwave heat susceptor materials and for the use of fatty food simulant should be established and also harmonized among countries. The objective of this investigation is to compare the current regulations for migration testing for plastic containers and packaging materials in USA, EU and Korea or Japan. For those regulations, Korean standards are required to be kept up with the international standards. By doing this, the related Korean regulation could be amended along with the worldwide progress for harmonization.

An injector for fuel rich gas generator was designed and experimentally investigated. Five variations of F-O-F triplet impinging type injector were tested to evaluate spray characteristics with kerosene/water simulant propellant. Test was focused to find the effect of design variables of impinging angle, and impinging distance, on the atomization performance. A mixing efficiency is used to compare droplet distribution and local O/F ratio of each injector in the range of momentum ratio of 0.2~1.3. Test results shows the max value of mixing efficiency locates about the 0.8 in momentum ratio. And the injector with an impinging angle of 45 degree and impinging distance of 6mm shows the very good performance result suitable for fuel rich gas generator. A combustion test will be also conducted with selected injector to verify the spray pattern and mixing efficiency.
