Ship noise is one of the important factors for the living and health of seafarers, and ef orts to reduce ship noise are actively underway. There are two methods of noise reduction: passive noise Control (PNC) and active noise control (ANC). Unlike cars and airplanes, ANC is not widely used for noise reduction on ships. This study aimed to reduce the noise generated in the engine room by using soundproof panels and high-frequency vibration generators, as well as active noise control (ANC). For this purpose, an experimental model was made using an acrylic box, and the noise reduction effect was measured under four conditions. The experimental results are as follows: First, the soundproof panel had a noise reduction effect in all ranges from 55 dB to 85 dB. In the case of using a high-frequency vibration generator, there was no ef ect in the low noise range such as 55 dB(A), but there was a noise reduction effect in the high noise range such as 70.8 dB(A) and 85 dB(A).Second, when the soundproof panel and the high-frequency vibration generator were used simultaneously, the noise reduction ef ect was up to -2.2 dB(A). The results of this experiment were obtained from an experimental model made of acrylic, and they may be different from actual ships made of steel plate. In future studies, we plan to experiment using iron plate (considering the material, thickness, and structure) used in actual ships. We hope that this study will help to improve the living environment and health of seafarers on ships.

With increasing of GDP, the registration number of passenger cars has exceeded 20 million last year in Korea. Especially, the registration number of the diesel engine vehicles has been increasing. However, the WHO(World Health Organization) IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer) has reported that diesel engine exhaust gas is an one of HAPs, which has carcinogenic for human, and they have designated it to Group 1. To solve this problem, exhaust gas from diesel engines has to be controlled. Thus, it has been controlling by European regulatory standard in Korea. On the other hand, in order to meet the enhanced emission regulations, all manufacturing company applied $NO_x$ control device to vehicles such as EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation), SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) and so on. However, these devices (EGR, SCR) were operated by difference reaction mechanism respectively, and the composition of exhaust gas would be differenced from that of them. In this study, it was conducted to evaluate variety characteristics on changing of exhaust gas composition by each $NO_x$ control device, and the heavy duty diesel trucks were chosen as experimental vehicles. From the result, it revealed that vehicles (with EGR) were discharged higher THC as 52.5% than that of others (with SCR). However, it did not followed that trend, in the case of CO; it was discharged as 57.2% lower than that of others (with SCR). In the future, these data would be used to apply to efficient $NO_x$ control device for meeting to EURO 6.

Diesel $NO_x$ reduction by $NH_3$-SCR in conjunction with the effective oxidation precatalyst was analytically investigated. Physicochemical processes in regard to $NH_3$-SCR $NO_x$ reduction and catalytic NO-$NO_2$ conversion are formulated with detailed descriptions on the commanding reactions. A unified model is correctly validated with experimental data in terms of extents of $NO_x$ reduction by SCR and NO-$NO_2$ conversion by DOC. The present deterministic model based on the rate expressions of Langmuir-Hinshelwood reaction scheme finds a conversion extent directly. A series of numerical experiments concomitant with parametric analysis of the $NO_x$ reduction was conducted. $NO_x$ reduction is promoted in proportion to DOC volume ar lower temperatures and an opposite holds at lower space velocity and intermediate temperatures. $NO_x$ conversion is weakly correlated to the space velocity and the DOC volume at higher exhaust temperature. In DOC-SCR system, the $NO_x$ reduction efficiency depends on the $NH_3/NO_x$ ratio.

본 연구에서는 수질오염총량제와 정책제안의 원활하고 합리적인 추진을 위해 토지피복분류체계의 대분류중 초지에 해당하고 중분류 중 골프장에 해당하는 지점을 선정하여 강우에 의해 발생하는 비점오염물질의 유출특성을 분석하였다. 연구기간 동안 총 27번의 강우사상으로 인해 발생하는 강우유출수에 대하여 유량과 수질농도를 측정하였다. 유량측정은 웨어를 통한 수위를 측정하여 유량으로 환산하였고, 수질항목은 $BOD_5$, $COD_{Mn}$, DOC, SS, T-N, T-P, $NH_3$-N, $NO_3$-N, $PO_4$-P 등 9개 항목을 분석하였다. 분석된 결과를 이용하여 골프장에서 발생하는 비점오염원의 초기세척효과 발생여부를 판단하기 위하여 누적오염부하량/누적유출량 그래프를 도식화하였다. 연구기간동안 발생한 5~82 mm의 강우로 인해 6.6~2,082 $m^3$의 유출이 발생하였다. 발생된 유출수의 농도는 $BOD_5$ 1.8~11.3 mg/L, $COD_{Mn}$ 19.2~51.4 mg/L, DOC 11.0~31.0 mg/L, SS 2.2~57.3 mg/L, T-N 1.545~16.098, T-P 0.230~4.528 mg/L, $NH_3$-N 0.076~5.285 mg/L, $NO_3$-N 0.122~2.905 mg/L, $PO_4$-P 0.005~2.631 mg/L로 나타났다. 초기유출수의 세척효과는 27번의 강우사상동안 SS 항목의 경우 17번, $NO_3$-N 11번, $NH_3$-N 4번 등이 발생하였다. 초기세척효과가 발생한 강우사상은 초기의 오염원 농도가 중 후반 농도보다 농도가 높음을 의미하므로, 골프장에서 발생하는 강우유출수는 초기에 발생하는 오염원에 초점을 두고 처리방안을 모색해야 할 것으로 판단된다. 또한 SS와 질소계열의 농도가 높은 것은 골프장의 잔디관리를 위한 농약이나 제초제 등의 사용과 토양유실이 원인인 것으로 판단되며, 이를 저감하기 위한 적절한 사용방안과 저감대책이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

지구 온난화로 인한 기후변화 현상이 점차 가시화 되고 있는 가운데 탄산가스를 비롯한 온실가스의 배출을 저감하기 위한 연구개발 노력과 관심이 고조되고 있다. 지구 대기층이 가지는 이러한 온실효과는 산업화 경향이 두드러지면서 화석에너지의 사용 증대 등 인위적 요인들에 의해 많이 증가하게 되었다. 온실가스 중에서 산화이질소(N2O)는 이산화탄소(CO2)와 메탄(CH4) 다음으로 많이 배출되는 성분이며 지구온난화 효과는 이산화탄소 분자의 310배에 달한다. 본 연구에서는 반도체 미세 패터닝(Pattering)에 게이트 산화막의 두께가 점차 얇아짐에 따라 발생하는 문제점을 해결하고 특성을 향상시키기 위해 사용되는 질화산화막(SiON)을 증착 시, 기존 산화이질소(N2O) 대신 산화질소(NO)를 사용하여 대체 가능 여부를 평가하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 산화질소(NO) 사용량의 변화를 통하여 FT-IR 및 Refractive Index 측정하면서 기존 산화이질소(N2O)를 이용하여 구현된 질화산화막 막질과 결과를 비교하였고, 질화산화막 증착율 및 파티클 발생 수준을 비교하였다.

Plasma/catalyst combined reactor was designed to overcome the limits of plasma and catalyst technologies. Optimum reductant and catalyst was selected from screening test. Experiments about the concentrations of reactant and $H_2O$ and the effect of temperature were carried out. Hydrocarbons with double bond such as propylene and so on were more reactive than any other reductants in plasma/catalyst condition. Photocatalyst, especially hombikat >$TiO_2$ with the largest surface area among the catalysts tested, showed the highest DeNOx efficiency in plasma/catalyst reaction. As the concentration of $H_2O$ increased, the removal of NO was enhanced. The increased concentration of >$O_2$ promoted the reaction of NO which was oxidized to$NO_2$.

The stabilization using limestone ($CaCO_3$) and steel making slag as the immobilization amendments for Cu and Pb contaminated farmland soils was investigated by batch tests, continuous column experiments and the pilot scale feasibility study with 4 testing grounds at the contaminated site. From the results of batch experiment, the amendment with the mixture of 3% of limestone and 2% of steel making slag reduced more than 85% of Cu and Pb compared with the soil without amendment. The acryl column (1 m in length and 15 cm in diameter) equipped with valves, tubes and a sprinkler was used for the continuous column experiments. Without the amendment, the Pb concentration of the leachate from the column maintained higher than 0.1 mg/L (groundwater tolerance limit). However, the amendment with 3% limestone and 2% steel making slag reduced more than 60% of Pb leaching concentration within 1 year and the Pb concentration of leachate maintained below 0.04 mg/L. For the testing ground without the amendment, the Pb and Cu concentrations of soil water after 60 days incubation were 0.38 mg/L and 0.69 mg/l, respectively, suggesting that the continuous leaching of Cu and Pb may occur from the site. For the testing ground amended with mixture of 3% of limestone + 2% of steel making slag, no water soluble Pb and Cu were detected after 20 days incubation. For all testing grounds, the ratio of Pb and Cu transfer to plant showed as following: root > leaves(including stem) > rice grain. The amendment with limestone and steel making slag reduced more than 75% Pb and Cu transfer to plant comparing with no amendment. The results of this study showed that the amendment with mixture of limestone and steel making slag decreases not only the leaching of heavy metals but also the plant transfer from the soil.

무경운 농법은 경작지의 토양을 교란시키지 않고 작물을 재배하는 방법으로, 토양의 물리성 개선과 토양 침식 예방, 생산비 절감 등의 효과가 있어 전 세계적인 인정을 받고 있는 농업기술이다. 그러나 아직까지 무경운의 재배 지속 기간 등 많은 의문이 제기되고 있으며, 국내 환경조건에 맞는 실험적인 연구가 미흡한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 최적관리기법의 하나인 무경운(No-till)을 적용한 밭의 오염물질 저감효과를 장기적으로 살펴보고자 2011년부터 2014년까지 4년간의 모니터링을 실시하였다. 무경운 농법을 적용하기 위하여 동계피복작물(밀, 보리)을 재배작물 정식하기 전해 겨울에 파종하여 이듬해 6월 말 수확하였다. 이후 7월에서 8월 사이 재배작물(들깨, 무)을 정식하였다. 시비는 2011년에는 축산퇴비, 2012년에는 축산액비 그리고 2013년과 2014년에는 화학비료를 시비하였으며, 매년 경운과 무경운의 시비량은 동일하게 처리하였다. 유출 시험포의 면적은 $150m^2$(폭 5 m, 경사장 30 m)이며, 8개(경사도 3% 4개, 경사도 8% 4개)의 시험포를 조성하여 각각 2개씩 경운(관행)과 무경운을 적용하였다. 모니터링은 재배작물(들깨, 무) 정식 이후부터 작물 수확 전까지 강우사상에 대하여 이루어졌으며, 연구기간동안 총 13회의 강우 사상에 대하여 조사를 실시하였다. 경운대비 무경운 시험포의 평균 오염부하 삭감율을 분석한 결과 경사도 3% 시험포의 경우 BOD는 35.1%, $COD_{Cr}$은 37.4% 그리고 영양염류인 TN과 TP는 각각 36.9%와 33.5%가 삭감된 것으로 조사되었으며, 경사도 8% 시험포의 경우 BOD가 36.4%, $COD_{Cr}$은 45.8%, TN과 TP는 각각 45.5%와 40.6%가 삭감된 것으로 나타났다. 우리나라에서는 경운(관행) 농법이 영농관리 차원에서 대부분 이용되고 있으나, 본 연구 결과에 기초할 때 무경운 농법으로 영농할 경우 강우유출수 및 하천으로 유입되는 비점오염부하를 효과적으로 제어할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The selective non-catalytic reduction(SNCR) performance is sensitive to the process parameters such as flow velocity, reaction temperature and mixing of reagent(ammonia or urea) with the flue gases. Therefore, the knowledge of the velocity field, temperature field and species concentration distribution is crucial for the design and operation of an effective SNCR injection system. In this work, a full-scale two-dimensional computational fluid dynamics(CFD)-based reacting model involving a droplet model is built and validated with the data obtained from a pilot-scale urea-based SNCR reactor installed with a 150 kW LPG burner. The kinetic mechanism with seven reactions for nitrogen oxides($NO_x$) reduction by urea-water solution is used to predict $NO_x$ reduction and ammonia slip. Using the turbulent reacting flow CFD model involving the discrete droplet phase, the CFD simulation results show maximum 20% difference from the experimental data for NO reduction. For $NH_3$ slip, the simulation results have a similar tendency with the experimental data with regard to the temperature and the normalized stoichiometric ratio(NSR).

There are many types of remodeling, however, engineers and architectures preferred to merge two or more separate units to one very spacious unit. Performing this type of remodeling, in the case of wall dominant apartments, requires partial removal of structural wall causing a concern of structural integrity. However, there are insufficient studies about partial removal, that is, openings. Presently, ACI standard have no clear way to evaluate the effect of opening on the structural wall. AIJ has the provision about strength reduction factor '$\gamma$'. However, this reduction factor cannot exactly evaluate the reduction effect of openings because this factor '$\gamma$' was determined through the elastic analysis. Therefore, in this study, 2 structural wall specimens were tested and many test results from previous studies were collected. Using these data, this study performed statistical analysis about strength of structural wall which have the opening in wall panel. And this study performed parametric study verifying shear strength reducing effect by opening area. In the results of statistical study, previous reduction factor show very conservative results because this equation did not consider other factors, reinforcement ratio and aspect ratio of openings, which was affect the shear strength of shear walls. Therefore we performed parametric study based on the test data and suggest new equation for shear strength reduction factor '$\gamma$'.
