This paper describes the results of steam turbine performance tests. The objectives of performance test is to exactly evaluate the degradation(decrease in performance) of the coal-fired steam turbine generator in order to provide plant information to help performance engineers identify problems, improve performance, and make economic decisions about scheduling maintenance and optimizing operation. To achieve these goals, the periodic thermal performance tests have been carried out since the initial operation period, 1997. We made the calculation program and guidelines for the tests and developed the performance index of the turbine cycle on the basis of the ASME PTC. By comparing the performance changes throughout the whole operation period, we confirmed the performance reliabilities of the turbine and its conditions.

Soybean peroxidase was extracted from soybean hulls and purified by ammonium sulfate precipitations (25% and 75% saturation), pl fractionation, and anionic exchange and gel filtration chromatographies (DEAE-Sephadex A-50 and Superose 12). Modlecular weight and pl value were estimated to be ca. 45 kD and 4.2, respectively. Purified soybean peroxidase had an RZ value of 0.43. Compared with horseradish peroxidase, it showed superior thermal and pH stability. Assuming the first-order kinetics, the thermal deactivation rate constant of soybean peroxidase at 80$^{\circ}C$ was about 8 times lower than that of horseradish peroxidase. Deactivation energy was calculated to be 69.3 kcal/mol. Soybean peroxidase showed about 10% higher H2O2 degradation capacity than horseradish peroxidase. Exploiting these advantages, the soybean peroxidase purified from the domestic soybean hull is expected to replace horseradish peroxidase in various applications.

In this study, we investigated the effect of thermal aging on mechanical characteristics of Inconel 600 nickel-based alloy. The thermal aging was conducted up to 1000 hours at an atmosphere of $650^{\circ}C$. The microstructure of thermally aged specimens was investigated by an optical microscope (OM), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS). In addition, tensile test (strain rate: 2 mm/min) and micro Vickers hardness test were conducted to evaluate mechanical properties with time. As a result of the experiment, Cr-rich carbide continuously precipitated during thermal aging, leading to the change of the mechanical characteristics and fracture mode. With the increase of aging time, tensile strength, yield strength, and hardness gradually decreased. The fracture mode changed from ductile to brittle with the increase of grain boundary carbide.

To automate cooking processes, quantitative descriptions are needed on how quality parameters, such as texture change during heating. Understanding mechanical property changes in foods during thermal treatment due to changes in chemical composition or physical structure is important in the context of engineering models and in precise control of quality in general. Texture degradation of food materials has been studied widely and softening kinetic parameters have been reported in many studies. For a better understanding of kinetic parameters, applied kinetic models were investigated, then rate constants at $100^{\circ}C$ and activation energy from previous kinetic studies were compared. The food materials are hardly classified into similar softening kinetics. The range of parameters is wide regardless of food types due to the complexity of food material, different testing methods, sample size, and geometry. Kinetic parameters are essential for optimal process design. For broad and reliable applications, kinetic parameters should be generated by a more consistent manner so that those of foods could be compared or grouped.

아스파탐을 가열할 때 온도 및 pH가 아스파탐의 열안정성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 아스파탐 용액을 $60-100^{\circ}C$로 가열하였을 때 가열온도가 높아질수록 아스파탐의 분해속도가 빨라졌으며 이 때의 활성화 에너지는 20.77 Kcal/mole이었다 또한 열분해물질인 DKP와 ${\alpha}$-AP는 아스파탐의 열분해와 함깨 생성속도가 증가하였으며, 분해산물 증 DKP량이 ${\alpha}$-AP보다 현저하게 많이 생성되었다. 가열 중 pH의 변화는 $60{\sim}80^{\circ}C$에서는 10시간 가열동안 비교적 완만하게 감소하였고 $100^{\circ}C$에서는 초기 pH 4.52에서 3.92로 감소하였다가 그 후 다시 완만하게 감소하였다. 1%아스파탐 용액을 pH $3{\sim}7$의 범위로 조절하여 $100^{\circ}C$에서 가열하였을 때 pH $3.0^{\circ}C4.5$의 산성범위에서 안정하였고 PH7에서 불안정하였으며, 초기 1시간 가열 후 pH 7에서의 열분해 속도상수는 0.83으로 다른 pH의 열분해 속도상수의 값인 $0.045{\sim}0.286$에 비해 큰 차이를 보였다. 따라서 아스파탐은 pH 7과 고온에서 매우 불안정함을 보여 주었다.

The aim of the work was to evaluate the effect of ultraviolet-ozone ($UV-O_3$) irradiation with different times on the structure and thermal properties of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) in the form of a thin film to be used as bioequivalent materials according to their important broad practical and medical applications. HPMC thin films were exposed to $UV-O_3$ radiation in air at a wavelength of 184.9 nm.The beneficial effects of this treatment on the crystallinity and amorphousity regions were followed by X-ray diffraction technique and FTIR spectroscopy. Differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric and differntial thermal analyses were used in order to study the thermal properties of HPMC samples following the process of photodegradation. The obtained results indicated that the rate of degradation process was increased with increasing the exposure time. Variations in shape and area of the thermal peaks were observed which may be attributed to the different degrees of crystallinity after exposing the treated HPMC samples. This meant a change in the amorphousity of the treated samples, the oxidation of its chemical linkages on its surface and its bulk, and the formation of free radical species as well as bond formation.

탄소/페놀릭 복합재료가 높은 온도에서 열분해 되는 현상을 연구하기 위하여 열중량분석기(TGA)가 이용되었다. 높은 온도와 다양한 하중조건에서 운용되는 고체 추진기관의 열방호 시스템으로 적합한 재료를 분석하고 개발하는데 연구목적이 있다. 실제 연소조건과 유사한 온도 상승속도를 고려하기 위하여 열분해 특성상수 값은 1000 K/min인 경우로 예측된 값을 FEM 해석코드 자료로 활용하였다. 온도 분포는 실험 결과 값과 같은 거동을 보였으며 열분해 깊이는 ${\pm}1mm$ 이내에서 해석 결과와 잘 일치 하였다.

본 연구에서는 페놀 폼의 난연성을 증가시키기 위하여 널리 사용되고 있는 인계 난연제의 첨가에 따른 페놀 폼과 폴리우레탄 폼의 난연 성능을 비교 평가하였다. 난연제가 첨가된 페놀 폼과 폴리우레탄 폼을 각각 열분석(TGA)을 통하여 열분해 거동을 알아보았고 Cone calorimeter를 이용하여 열방출량(HRR), 연기발생량(TSR) 및 CO 및 $CO_2$ 발생량과 산소한계지수(Limited oxygen index, LOI)를 통하여 난연성능을 평가하였다. 실험 결과 페놀폼이 폴리우레탄 폼에 비해 초기 분해는 빠르지만 $800^{\circ}C$에서 잔존량이 월등히 많았으며 낮은 열방출속도 값을 나타내었다. 또한 질량 감소율, 연기발생량도 폴리우레탄 폼보다 낮아 우수한 난연성능을 가지는 것을 알 수 있다.

Although it has been well known that many metal hydrides are promising to use for hydrogen storage and other applications, some difficulties still remain. Metal hydrides, particularly in powder form, have very poor thermal conductivity. The hydrogen storage alloys degrade intrinsically or extrinsically during repeated hydriding and dehydriding. Elimination of these problems is very important in the practical applications. In order to prevent degradation and to improve the thermal conductivity, the hydrogen storage characteristics of rare-earth type alloy encapsulated with Cu or Ni by means of chemical plating have been investigated. No changes has occured in hydrogen absorption capacity and equilibrium pressure even though the alloy powder is microencapsulated. The first hydrogen absorption rate of the alloy encapsulated increased considerably comparing to uncapsulated sample. In the case of encapsulating the fine powder ($>10{\mu}m$) and subsequent compacting by $8ton/cm^2$, shape of compact is maintained regardless of hydriding and dehydriding. The degree of degradation of the alloy caused by impurity gas of CO or $O_2$ was decreased prominently by encapsulation.

To improve the flame retardant performance of cellulose fibers, fluorine functional groups were introduced under various controlled fluorination conditions. The properties of the fluorinated cellulose fibers were analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and a thermogravimetric analysis. The fluorine functional group content in the fluorinated cellulose fibers increased with an increase in the fluorination temperature. However, the fluorination reaction increased the char yield and decreased the rate of degradation of the cellulose fibers by introducing donors, enabling the formation of a thick and compact char layer. Therefore, the flame retardant properties of cellulose fibers were improved following the fluorination treatment.
