본 연구는 생물전환된 대두의 isoflavone 함량, 총 페놀함량, 항산화능(DPP radical 소거능, ORAC 지수) 및 ${\beta}$-Glucan 함량을 측정하였다. Isoflavone의 경우 추출용매에 상관없이 배당체가 모두 비배당체로 전환되는 것을 확인하였다. Total isoflavone 함량의 경우 hexane 탈지 대두박 발효물에서 $2577.96{\mu}g/mL$으로 가장 높은 값을 나타냈으며, ethanol 탈지 대두박 비발효물에서 $428.27{\mu}g/mL$으로 가장 낮은 값을 나타내었다. 총 페놀 함량은 대두 원물에서 39.44 mg GAE/g으로 나타났으며, ethanol 탈지 대두박 비발효물 및 hexane 탈지 대두박 비발효물은 27.07, 27.75 mg GAE/g으로 대두 원물보다 다소 낮은 값을 나타냈다. 생물전환된 대두의 총 페놀 함량은 hexane 탈지 대두박 발효물 41.61 mg GAE/g, ethanol 탈지 대두박 발효물 42.34 mg GAE/g으로 비발효물에 비해 약 1.5배 가량 증가된 함량을 보였다. DPPH radical 소거능의 경우 대두 원물에서 51.10%의 소거능을 나타내었고 hexane 탈지 대두박 비발효물에서 50.51%, ethanol 탈지 대두박 비발효물은 43.27%의 소거능을 나타냈다. 생물전환된 ethanol 탈지 대두박 발효물에서 59.92%로 radical 소거능이 증가되었지만 hexane 탈지 대두박 발효물은 31.30%로 비발효물에 비해 낮은 radical 소거활성을 보였다. ORAC 지수는 대두 원물이 $384.47{\mu}M\;TE/g$을 보였으며, hexane 탈지 대두박 비발효물 및 ethanol 탈지 대두박 비발효물은 318.52, $247.48{\mu}M\;TE/g$으로 나타났다. 생물전환된 hexane 탈지 대두박 발효물은 $786.36{\mu}M\;TE/g$, ethanol 탈지 대두박 발효물에서 $721.96{\mu}M\;TE/g$으로 비발효물에 비해 ORAC 지수가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. ${\beta}$-Glucan 함량은 0.09~0.11%의 범위로 나타났으며 대두 원물과 ethanol 탈지 대두박 발효물에서 가장 높은 0.11%를 보였고 hexane 탈지 대두박 비발효물과 hexane 탈지 대두박 발효물에서 0.09%로 가장 낮은 ${\beta}$-glucan 함량을 보였지만, 추출용매 및 생물전환에 따른 ${\beta}$-glucan 함량의 큰 차이는 나타나지 않았다.

This study was conducted to obtain a basic information necessary to assess present rice milling technology in Korea The profiles for milling plants was analyzed by survey work.For the private custom-work mills, which process about 80 percent of domestic rice consumption ,their actual milling test for the identical samples as used for filed mills was conducted. Two rice varieties Japonica and Tongil-type were associated with the experiments. The results are summarized as follows: 1. Analyses for private custom-work mills showed their general aspects as; about 91 percent of the mills belonged to an individual owner ship ; more than 93 percent of the mills was established earlier than 1950 ; about 80 percent of the mills was powered with electric motor; mills having less than two employees were about 75 percent; about 45 percent of the mills provided for warehouse in storing customers cereal grains. 2. The polishers installed in 1,255mills within the surveyed area (7 counties) have been supplied by 44 different domestic manufacturers ;in but about 60 percent of which was supplied by 6major manufacturers. The polishers could be classified into two categories in terms of principles of their polishing actions ;jet-pearler and friction types. About 51 percent of the mills was equipped with the former which has been recognized as giving greater milling recovery than the friction types. 3. Reason for owners of private mills to supplement new machines was due mainly to pgrading their mills to meet the requirements that established by the Government. However, about 60 percent of the mill owners intended to replace with new pearler by their own needs to meet with new high yielding varieties. 4. Processing systems of each previate rice mills surveyed could be classified into three categories, depending upon whether the systems posessed such components as precleaner and paddy separator or not. Only 36.7 percent of mills was installed with both precleanr ad paddy seperrator, 5.0 percent of mills did have neither percleaner nor paddy seperator, and rest of them equipped only one of the two. Hence,it is needed for about 63% of rice miils to be supplemented with these basic facilities to meet with the requirements for the standaized system. 5. Actual milling capacity measured at each field rice mills was shown a wide variation, having range from about 190 to 1,210 kg/hr. The percentages of mills classified according to daily milling capacity based on this hourly capacity were 24.3% for the capacity less than 3 M/T a day; 20.0% for 3-4 M/T; 15.6% for 4-5 M/T; 6.7% for 5-6 M/T; 22.3% for 6-7 M/T; and 11.0% for more than 7 M/T a day. 6. Actual amount of rice processed was about 310 M/T a year in average. About 42% of total milled rice was processed during October to Decembear, which formed a peak demand period for rice mills. The amount of rice milled during January to May was relatively small, but it had still a large amount compared to that during June to September. 7. Utilization rate of milling facility, i. e., percentage of the actual amount of milled rice to the capacity of rice mills, was about 18% on the year round average, about 41% in the peak demand season, and about 10% during June to September. Average number of operating days for mills surveyed was about 250 days a year, and about 21 days a month. 8. Moisture contents of paddy at the time of field mill tests were ranged 14.5% to 19.5% for both Japonica and Tong-i] varieties, majority of paddy grains having moisture level much higher than 1530. To aviod potential reduction of milling recovery while milling and deterioration of milled rice while storage due to these high grain mJisture contents, it may be very important for farmers holding rice to dry by an artificial drying method. 9. Milling recovery of JapJnica varieties in rice mills was 75.0% in average and it was widely ranged from 69.0% to 78.0 % according to mills. Potential increase in milJing recovery of Japonica variety with improvement of mill facilities was estimated to about 1.9%. On the other hand, milling recovery of Tong-il varieties in the field mill tests was 69.8% in average and it ranged from 62% to 77 %, which is much wider than that of Japonica varieties. It is noticed that the average milling recovery of Tong-il variety of 69.8% was much less than that of the Japonica-type. It was estimated th3.t up to about 5.0% of milling recovery for Tong-il variety could be improved by improving the present lo'.ver graded milling technology. 10. Head rice recoveries, as a factor of representing the quality of commercial goods, of Japonica and Tong-il varieties were 65.9% and 53.8% in average, and they were widely ranged from 52% to 73% and from 44% to 65% , respectively. It was assessed that head rice recovery of Japonica varieties can be improved up 3.3% and that of Tong-il varieties by 7.0% by improving mill components and systems.

In September 1994, residents of Gozan-dong, Incheon City, made a petition to the government about their health problems which might be caused by previous glass fibre landfill nearby 'H' company. In february 1995, at regular academic meeting of occupational and environmental medicine, a research team of 'D' University presented that they had found glass fibres in groundwater of the area through their survey. They were suspicious of probable association between ingestion of groundwater contaminated with glass fibres and skin tumors among residents. A joint research team was formed and carried out the survey of environment concerning groundwater and its glass fibre existence, and health assessment of residents in the area and industrial workers of 'H' company during May to November, 1995. Analysis of groundwater flow system indicates that the flow lines from the glass fibre landfill pass through or terminate at the 6 houses around the landfill. This means that the groundwater of the 6 houses around the glass fibre landfill could be affected by some possible contaminants from the landfill, but the groundwater quality of the other houses was irrelevant to the landfill. The qualitative and qualitative analyses for glass fibres in 54 groundwater samples including those from the nearby 6 houses, were carried out using SEM equipped with EDS, resulting in no evidence for the presence of glass fibres in the waters. Major precipitates, formed in waters while boiling, were identified as calcium carbonates, in particulary, aragonites in needle form. The results of health assessments of 889 residents in Gozan-dong, participated in this study, showed statistically significant differences in past medical histories of skin tumor and respiratory disease between the exposed group (31 persons who inhabited in 6 houses around the landfill) and the control group, but no significant differences in past medical histories of other diseases, such as cancer mortality, current gastroscopic findings, current skin diseases and respiratory diseases, etc. Also, we could not prove any glass fibres in excised specimens of 9 skin tumors in both groups and there were no health problems possibly associated with glass fibres in employees of the 'H' company. After all, we could not authenticate the association, raised by prior investigators, between groundwater streams, assumedly contaminated with glass fibres or not, and specific disease morbidities or common disease/symptom prevalences. That is, we could not find any glass fibres in groundwater as the only exposure factor of this study hypothesis, and there were not enough certain evidences such as increasing disease prevalences, for examples, skin, respiratory and gastrointestinal diseases etc, possibly related to glass fibre exposure, in exposed group. As a matter of course, the conditions for confirming causal association, for example, strength of the association, consistency of the association, specificity of the association, temporality of the association and dose-response relationship etc, have not been satisfied. In conclusion, we were not able to certify the hypothesis that contamination of groundwater with glass fibres might cause any hazardous health effects in residents who used it for drinking.

백두산 화산의 대규모 분화로 인한 우리나라 PM_2.5 영향 및 피해범위를 정량적으로 예측하기 위하여 우리나라에 직접 피해를 주는 worst-case 기상 시나리오를 적용하여 3차원 대기화학모델링 시스템 WRF-SMOKE-CMAQ(Weather Research & Forecasting - Sparse Matrix Operation Kernel Emission - Comunity Multi-scale Air Quality)을 구동하였다. 과거 10년(2005~2014년)간 백두산 분화 worst-case 우선순위 중 우리나라에 가장 큰 직접 피해를 주는 대표 worst-case 시나리오를 적용하여 대상 사례일(2012.5.16)에 VEI 4의 대규모 화산 분화를 가정하여 화산 분화로 인한 초미세먼지(PM_2.5)의 영향을 분석하였다. 우리나라 지역별(시군구) PM_2.5의 영향을 예측하고 취약계층 등을 반영한 노출평가를 실시하여 취약지역을 도출하였다. 또한, 시군구의 영향을 보다 상세규모(9 km × 9 km)로 분석하여 시군구 지역 내 취약지역을 도출하였다. 백두산 분화 대표 worst-case(2012.5.16.) 분석결과, 국내 PM_2.5 피크농도는 24,547 ㎍/㎥로 낙하 화산재(5억 4천만톤) 처리가 가장 큰 문제로 대두되었던 미국 세인트헬렌스 화산 분화(1980년) 사례보다 더 극한 상황이 될 것으로 예상된다. 또한, PM_2.5 고농도 지역의 분석결과, 파주, 김포, 고양, 강화, 산청, 하동에서 고농도가 나타났다. 반면, 인구 노출분석 결과 인구 밀집지역인 파주가 특히 취약지역으로 나타났고, 취약계층 노출분석 결과 또한, 취약계층 인구가 많은 파주, 남양주, 화성이 취약지역으로 나타났다. 시군구 지역을 상세규모로 분석함으로써 하동 북부 등 시군구 지역 내에서의 고농도 지역을 도출할 수 있었다. 화산재해 발생 시 대기오염물질의 고농도 지역도 중요하지만 인구 및 민감군, 취약계층 밀집지역 등을 고려한 대응 및 대책 마련이 필요하겠으며 시군구에 대한 일률적인 대책보다 시군구 지역 내 고농도 지역 등의 선별을 통한 취약 지역별 대책 마련이 필요하겠다. 본 연구는 화산재해의 재난선포 기준 개발 및 선제적 대응체계 개발의 초석 마련에 기초자료가 될 것으로 판단된다.

목 적: 본 연구의 목적은 전립선암 환자의 방사선 치료 시 표적의 정확한 위치를 찾기 위해 표지(marker)를 삽입한 경우 방사선치료계획 시 촬영한 CT 영상과 매 치료 시 온보드 영상장치(on-board imager, OBI)로부터 획득된 직교 kV X선 영상을 이용하여 표지의 위치를 계산하고 자동으로 맞춤을 수행하여 환자 셋업 오차를 보정하도록 하는 방법을 개발하는 것이다. 대상 및 방법: 세 개의 금 표지를 환자 전립선의 기준 위치에 삽입한 후 CT 모의치료기를 이용하여 2 mm 슬라이스 간격으로 CT 영상을 획득하였으며 매 치료 전에 환자 셋업 보정을 위하여 OBI를 이용하여 직교하는 kV X선 환자 영상을 획득하였다. CT 및 kV X선 영상 내 표지 정보 및 좌표 값 추출을 위하여 화소값의 문턱값 처리, 필터링, 외곽선 추출, 패턴 인식 등 다수의 영상처리 알고리듬을 적용하였다. 각 표지들 위치의 대표값으로 삼각형의 무게중심 개념을 이용하였으며 기준 CT 영상 및 직교 kV X선 영상으로부터 각각 무게중심의 좌표를 구한 후 그 차이를 보정해야 할 셋업의 오차로 계산하였다. 알고리듬의 건전성(robustness) 평가를 위해 팬텀을 이용하여 계산된 CT 및 kV X선 영상의 무게중심이 실제 지정된 위치와 일치하는지 여부를 확인하였으며, 본원에서 방사선 치료를 시행한 네 명의 전립선암 환자에 대상으로 치료 직전 촬영한 38 내지 39쌍의 kV X선 영상에 대하여 알고리듬을 적용한 후 OBI 프로그램에서 제공되는 2차원-2차원 맞춤 결과와 비교하였다. 결 과: 팬텀 실험 결과 실제 값과 CT 영상 및 직교 kV X선 영상으로부터 계산된 무게 중심 좌표 값이 1 mm 오차 내에서 일치함을 확인할 수 있었다. 환자 영상에 적용한 경우에도 모든 영상에 대하여 성공적으로 각 표지의 위치를 계산할 수 있었으며 2차원-2차원 맞춤 기능을 이용하여 계산된 셋업 오차와 비교해본 결과 1 mm 범위 내에서 일치함을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 알고리듬을 이용하여 계산한 결과 셋업 오차는 전후(AP) 방향으로 환자별로 작게는 $0.1{\pm}2.7\;mm$에서 크게는 $1.8{\pm}6.6\;mm$까지, 상하(SI) 방향으로 $0.8{\pm}1.6\;mm$에서 $2.0{\pm}2.7\;mm$, 좌우(Lat) 방향으로 $-0.9{\pm}1.5\;mm$에서 $2.8{\pm}3.0\;mm$까지였으며 환자에 따라 그 편차의 차이가 있었다. 결 론: 제안된 알고리듬을 이용하여 1회 셋업 오차를 평가하는 데 소요되는 시간은 10초 미만으로서 임상 적용 시 환자 셋업 시간을 줄이고 주관성을 배제하는 데 도움이 될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 그러나 온라인 환자 셋업 보정 시스템에 적용하기 위해서는 선형가속기의 제어 시스템에 통합되는 것이 필요하다.

이산화탄소 지중저장지에서 초임계이산화탄소(supercritical $CO_2$)-광물-염수 반응에 의한 광물의 지화학적 변화를 규명하는 실내 실험을 실시하였다. 초임계$CO_2$로 존재하는 지중저장 온도/압력조건(100 bar와 $50^{\circ}C$)을 재현한 스테인레스 셀(용량 110 ml) 내부에 100 ml의 염수를 주입하였다. 염수는 부산 해안가 지하 800 m 깊이 지하수 채수정에서 채수한 염수를 사용하였으며, 실험 대상 광물로는 $CO_2$와 반응이 잘 일어나는 것으로 보고된 Ca, Fe, Mg 성분이 풍부한 Ca-사장석, 각섬석, 감람석 시료를 사용하였다. 각 광물 시료를 슬랩($10\;mm{\times}10\;mm$)으로 제작하여 표면을 폴리싱한 후 염수가 담긴 고압셀 내부 하부에 고정시키고 초임계 $CO_2$를 주입한 후 30일 동안 반응시켰다. 실험 전 광물 표면을 반사현미경과 SPM을 사용하여 영상화하였으며, 표면 당 3 지점을 임의로 선택하여 주변 면적 ($20\;{\mu}m{\times}20\;{\mu}m$)의 표면거칠기값(SRV: surface roughness value)을 구하였다. 반응 후 일정 시간 간격으로 고압셀 내 광물 표면에 대하여 SPM 분석과 표면거칠기값 계산을 반복하여 초임계 $CO_2$-광물-염수 반응에 의해 변화된 광물 표변을 정량화 하였으며, 염수에 용해된 양이온 종류와 농도를 분석하고, 광물 표면에 형성된 2차 광물 분석을 위해 SEM/EDS 분석을 실시하였다. Ca-사장석의 경우 초임계 $CO_2$가 용해된 염수와 반응하여 광물 표면의 평균 SRV는 30일 동안 2.77 nm에서 20.87 nm로 증가하여 지화학반응에 의하여 상당한 광물 표면 풍화가 발생하였음을 알 수 있었다. 각성석과 감람석의 경우에는 평균 SRV가 2.54 nm와 0.77 nm에서 각각 8.31 nm와 11.03 nm로 증가하였다. 반응에 의해 염수에 용해된 이온은 Ca-사장석의 경우 $Ca^{2+}$, $Na^+$, $Fe^{2+}$, $Si^{4+}$, $K^+$, $Mg^{2+}$ 순이었으며, 각섬석의 경우에는 $Si^{4+}$, $Ca^{2+}$, $Fe^{2+}$, $Mg^{2+}$ 순으로 나타났다. 각섬석과 감람석 광물 표면에는 만상에 의해 철(또는 마그네슘)-(수)산화물이 2차 광물로 형성됨을 SEM/EDS 분석결과로 알 수 있었다. 실험 결과로부터 $Ca^{2+}$, $Fe^{2+}$, $Mg^{2+}$이 풍부한 광물의 경우 $CO_2$ 지중저장 시 초임계 $CO_2$-광물-염수 반응에 의해 짧은 시간 내에 심한 풍화작용을 일으켜 광물의 물성 변화를 일으킬 수 있음을 입증하였다.

유채 재배 전과정이 환경에 미치는 영향을 전과정평가 기법으로 분석하였다. 유채재배 과정을 평가하기 위해 비료, 농약, 농기계 사용에 따른 에너지 소비량, 작업시간 등을 조사하여 평가의 기능 단위인 유채 1톤을 기준으로 분석하였다. Eco-Indicator 95방법으로 8개 영향범주에 대해 전과정영향을 평가한 결과 유채 1톤을 생산하는데 온실가스 216 kg $CO_2$-eq., 오존층 고갈 3.98E-05 kg CFC-11-eq., 산성화 1.78 kg $SO_2$-eq., 부영양화 0.28 kg $PO_4$-eq., 중금속 5.23E-03 kg Pb-eq., 발암 물질 2.51E-05 kg B(a)p-eq., 스모그 1.24 kg SPM-eq., 에너지자원 6,460 MJ LHV의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이 중 90%가 화학비료에서 기인하는 것으로 분석되었다. 유채 생산량이 1 톤 증가하였을 경우에 대한 민감도 분석에서는 배출량은 동일하였으나 단위 면적당 생산량이 증가하여 유채 1톤에 대한 환경 부하는 22% 감소하는 것으로 평가되었다. 따라서 친환경농업 또는 자원순환농업을 통하여 화학비료의 사용량을 줄이면 유채 재배에 있어 농업부문 온실가스 배출량이 상당부분 감소될 것으로 판단되었다.

Low-temperature drying systems have been extensively used for drying cereal grain such as shelled corn and wheat. Since the 1973 energy crisis, many researches have been conducted to apply solar energy as supplemental heat to natural air drying systems. However, little research on rough rice drying has been done in this area, especially very little in Korea. In designing a solar drying system, quality loss, airflow requirements, temperature rise of drying air, fan power and energy requirements should be throughly studied. The factors affecting solar drying systems are airflow rate, initial moisture content, the amount of heat added to drying air, fan operation method and the weather conditions. The major objectives of this study were to analyze the effects of the performance factors and determine design parameters such as airflow requirements, optimum bed depth, optimum temperature rise of drying air, fan operation method and collector size. Three hourly observations based on the 4-year weather data in Chuncheon area were used to simulate rough rice drying. The results can be summarized as follows: 1. The results of the statistical analysis indicated that the experimental and predicted values of the temperature rise of the air passing through the collector agreed well. 2. Equilibrium moisture content was affected a little by airflow rate, but affected mainly by the amount of heat added, to drying air. Equilibrium moisture content ranged from 12.2 to 13.2 percent wet basis for the continuous fan operation, from 10.4 to 11.7 percent wet basis for the intermittent fan operation respectively, in range of 1. 6 to 5. 9 degrees Centigrade average temperature rise of drying air. 3. Average moisture content when top layer was dried to 15 percent wet basis ranged from 13.1 to 13.9 percent wet basis for the continuous fan operation, from 11.9 to 13.4 percent wet basis for the intermittent fan operation respectively, in the range of 1.6 to 5.9 degrees Centigrade average temperature rise of drying air and 18 to 24 percent wet basis initial moisture content. The results indicated that grain was overdried with the intermittent fan operation in any range of temperature rise of drying air. Therefore, the continuous fan operation is usually more effective than the intermittent fan operation considering the overdrying. 4. For the continuous fan operation, the average temperature rise of drying air may be limited to 2.2 to 3. 3 degrees Centigrade considering safe storage moisture level of 13.5 to 14 perceut wet basis. 5. Required drying time decrease ranged from 40 to 50 percent each time the airflow rate was doubled and from 3.9 to 4.3 percent approximately for each one degrees Centigrade in average temperature rise of drying air regardless of the fan operation methods. Therefore, the average temperature rise of drying air had a little effect on required drying time. 6. Required drying time increase ranged from 18 to 30 percent approximately for each 2 percent increase in initial moisture content regardless of the fan operation methods, in the range of 18 to 24 percent moisture. 7. The intermittent fan operation showed about 36 to 42 percent decrease in required drying time as compared with the continuous fan operation. 8. Drymatter loss decrease ranged from 34 to 46 percent each time the airflow rate was doubled and from 2 to 3 percent approximately for each one degrees Centigrade in average temperature rise of drying air, regardless of the fan operation methods. Therefore, the average temperature rise of drying air had a little effect on drymatter loss. 9. Drymatter loss increase ranged from 50 to 78 percent approximately for each 2 percent increase in initial moisture content, in the range of 18 to 24 percent moisture. 10. The intermittent fan operation: showed about 40 to 50 percent increase in drymatter loss as compared with the continuous fan operation and the increasing rate was higher at high level of initial moisture and average temperature rise. 11. Year-to-year weather conditions had a little effect on required drying time and drymatter loss. 12. The equations for estimating time required to dry top layer to 16 and 1536 wet basis and drymatter loss were derived as functions of the performance factors. by the least square method. 13. Minimum airflow rates based on 0.5 percent drymatter loss were estimated. Minimum airflow rates for the intermittent fan operation were approximately 1.5 to 1.8 times as much as compared with the continuous fan operation, but a few differences among year-to-year. 14. Required fan horsepower and energy for the intermittent fan operation were 3. 7 and 1. 5 times respectively as much as compared with the continuous fan operation. 15. The continuous fan operation may be more effective than the intermittent fan operation considering overdrying, fan horsepower requirements, and energy use. 16. A method for estimating the required collection area of flat-plate solar collector using average temperature rise and airflow rate was presented.

The results indicated that grain was overdried with the intermittent fan operation in any range of temperature rise of drying air. Therefore, the continuous fan operation is usually more effective than the intermittent fan operation considering the overdrying.4. For the continuous fan operation, the average temperature rise of drying air may be limited to 2.2 to 3. 3 degrees Centigrade considering safe storage moisture level of 13.5 to 14 perceut wet basis.5. Required drying time decrease ranged from 40 to 50 percent each time the airflow rate was doubled and from 3.9 to 4.3 percent approximately for each one degrees Centigrade in average temperature rise of drying air regardless of the fan operation methods. Therefore, the average temperature rise of drying air had a little effect on required drying time.6. Required drying time increase ranged from 18 to 30 percent approximately for each 2 percent increase in initial moisture content regardless of the fan operation methods, in the range of 18 to 24 percent moisture.7. The intermittent fan operation showed about 36 to 42 percent decrease in required drying time as compared with the continuous fan operation.8. Drymatter loss decrease ranged from 34 to 46 percent each time the airflow rate was doubled and from 2 to 3 percent approximately for each one degrees Centigrade in average temperature rise of drying air, regardless of the fan operation methods. Therefore, the average temperature rise of drying air had a little effect on drymatter loss. 9. Drymatter loss increase ranged from 50 to 78 percent approximately for each 2 percent increase in initial moisture content, in the range of 18 to 24 percent moisture. 10. The intermittent fan operation: showed about 40 to 50 percent increase in drymatter loss as compared with the continuous fan operation and the increasing rate was higher at high level of initial moisture and average temperature rise.11. Year-to-year weather conditions had a little effect on required drying time and drymatter loss.12. The equations for estimating time required to dry top layer to 16 and 1536 wet basis and drymatter loss were derived as functions of the performance factors. by the least square method.13. Minimum airflow rates based on 0.5 percent drymatter loss were estimated.Minimum airflow rates for the intermittent fan operation were approximately 1.5 to 1.8 times as much as compared with the continuous fan operation, but a few differences among year-to-year.14. Required fan horsepower and energy for the intermittent fan operation were3. 7 and 1. 5 times respectively as much as compared with the continuous fan operation.15. The continuous fan operation may be more effective than the intermittent fan operation considering overdrying, fan horsepower requirements, and energy use.16. A method for estimating the required collection area of flat-plate solar collector using average temperature rise and airflow rate was presented.
