In this study, the characteristics and mechanism of microwave-assisted drying were investigated to improve the efficiency of the storage and extraction of biomass through the removal of moisture from plant cell Taxus chinensis. The efficiency of microwave-assisted drying increased with increasing microwave power. When the experimental data were fitted to typical drying kinetic models, the page and modified Page models were the most appropriate. The microwave-assisted drying was determined to be a spontaneous endothermic process, and randomness increased during the drying process. The effective diffusion coefficient (3.445 × 10^-9~7.163 × 10^-7 ㎡/s) and mass transfer coefficient (3.1529 × 10^-5~1.2895 × 10^-2 m/s) increased with increasing microwave power. The small Biot number (0.3890~0.7198) indicated that the mass transfer process was externally controlled.

최근 대화 모델 학습에는 시퀀스-투-시퀀스 모델이 널리 활용되고 있다. 하지만 기본적인 시퀀스-투-시퀀스 모델로 학습한 대화 모델은 I don't know 문제와 사오정 문제를 내포한다. I don't know 문제는 입력 발화에 대해 안전하고 무미건조한 단편적인 대답을 많이 생성하는 문제이다. 사오정 문제는 입력 발화에 대해 적절한 응답을 생성했지만 입력 발화와 동일한 의미를 지니지만 어순, 어미 등의 변화가 있는 발화에는 적절한 응답을 생성하지 못하는 문제이다. 이전 연구에서 디노이징 메커니즘을 활용하여 각각의 문제를 완화하는 대화 모델들을 학습할 수 있음을 보였으나 하나의 모델에서 두 문제를 동시에 해결하지는 못하였다. 본 논문에서는 디노이징 메커니즘을 활용하여 각각의 문제에 강점을 지닌 디코더들을 학습하고 응답 생성 시 입력 발화에 따라 두 디코더를 적절하게 반영하여 언급한 문제 모두에 대해 강건한 응답을 생성할 수 있는 모델을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법의 우수성을 보이기 위해 9만 건의 한국어 대화 데이터로 실험을 수행하였다. 실험 결과 단일 문제를 해결하는 모델들과 비교하여 ROUGE F1 점수와 사람이 평가한 정성 평가에서 성능 향상을 보였다.

The purpose of this study is to develop a new type dryer, which is to proceed mixing and drying of wet-materials at the same time and drying process is carried out in a closed system. In this drying system, thermal contact occurs, when a fluidized zone is created by paddle mechanism. Accordingly, wet-materials is dried in a short time without any damage. Also wet-materials could be dried uniformly to low moisture contents. It is suitable to dry a small quantity of multi-kind materials. And drying process is carried out in a closed system, so as for environmental pollution dust not to be emitted into the atmosphere. Accordingly, it could be used to dry not only food and chemical materials, but also environmental pollution materials.

In this paper, drying mechanism is analyzed for improving the energy efficiency of an electric clothes dryer which consumes more electric power than other appliances. For the purpose, characteristic curves of the dryer such as temperature, relative humidity, evaporation rate, mass transfer coefficient, remaining moisture content curves are experimentally obtained. Based on the experimental results and analysis of drying mechanism, the effect of power of a heater and heat loss on the power consumption of an electric clothes dryer are systematically presented. These results demonstrate the feasibility of controlling heat loss at the heater as well as backduct component to decrease the power consumption of an electric clothes dryer.

The purpose of this study is to develop the non-gravity fluidized dryer. In this non-gravity fluidized dryer the fluidized zone is produced by two paddles in mixer, which maximizes the surface area of materials and then heated air through the guiding panels dehumidify them. This can conduct the drying process quickly and control moisture contents to lower limits. The ventilation system is closed loop system, which can be changeable to open system, and can be used as a multi-purposed dryer in which mixing, drying, granulating and cooling process is conducted. In order to develop non-gravity fluidized dryer, in the first the fundamental experiments performed to mixing accuracy and then the other parts of dryer and control system were examined to check whether they were designed properly and operated harmoniously with mixer. Also the preparatory experiments were fulfilled to examine the efficiency and reliability of dryer. Lastly, on the basis of preparatory experiments in case the initial moisture contents, desired moisture contents, heated air velocity and heating temperature were vary, performance test for the non-gravity fluidized dryer carried out.

탄소 재료는 뛰어난 물성에서 다양한 재료로의 응용이 기대되고 있다. 특히, 이종 원소 함유 카본 재료는 전기적 특성과 촉매성의 발현 등 새로운 기능을 카본 재료에 부여할 수 있어서 연료 전지, 에너지 저장, 태양 전지 등에의 응용이 기대되고 있다. 최근, 용액 중의 저온 플라즈마인 솔루션 플라즈마(solution plasma process)를 이용하여 벤젠 용액 등에서 탄소 재료 합성에 성공하였다. 그러나 기존의 연구에서는 솔루션 플라즈마 프로세스를 이용하여 합성한 이종원소 카본은 전도성이 낮아 이종원소의 함유량을 낮추는 고온의 열처리가 필요했다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 우수한 물리적 전기적 특성을 갖는 그래핀(graphene)과 같은 이종 원소 카본 나노시트(heteroatom carbon nanosheets)의 합성 및 메커니즘(mechanism)에 대해 검토하였다. 다양한 이종원소를 포함한 유기용매 안에 바이폴라 펄스 전원에 의한 전압을 두 텅스텐 전극 간에 인가하고, 솔루션 플라즈마를 생성하여 이종원소 카본 재료를 합성했다. 플라즈마 생성은 텅스텐 봉을 전극으로 사용하고 전압을 2.0 kV, 펄스 주파수를 200 kHz, 펄스 폭을 $1.0{\mu}s$, 전극 간 거리를 1.5 mm에서 일정하게 유지하며 200 mL 유기용매 중에서 방전시키는 것으로 재료를 합성했다. 플라즈마 방전 후, 필터을 이용하여 흡인 여과한 뒤 $200^{\circ}C$에서 1 시간 동안 건조 시켰다. 건조 후의 이종원소 카본의 물리적 특성을 원소 분석, X선 회절 법(XRD), 저항률 측정, 투과형 전자 현미경(TEM) 및 라만 분광법, 전자 현미경(SEM), X-선광전자분광기(XPS)등을 이용하여 카본의 형상 및 특성을 분석하였다. 그 결과 다양한 이종원소를 포함한 유기용매 중 2-pyrrolidone을 사용했을 때, 이종 원소 카본 나노시트를 합성하는데 성공하였다. 또한, 이 연구방법을 통해서 솔루션 플라즈마 프로세스를 통한 카본 나노시트 합성의 메커니즘을 규명하였다.

This paper describes a new approach to minimize the amount of shrinkage cracking in cement treated base(CTB). CTB is a stiffness base having lots of merits such as higher rutting resistance, minimizing fatigue cracking, and the ability to distribute upper loads. However, It is not applied to asphalt pavement system in Korea because of possible cracks caused by dry shrinkage. The goal of this study is the development of cement treated base with lower shrinkage for preventing reflection cracks and rutting. After identifying factors affecting dry shrinkage and analyzing mechanism of each admixture, the laboratory and field tests were designed and performed. Through the preliminary tests, the mix design containing 25 percent o( fly ash and 7 percent of cement was suggested. This mix design was satisfied with strength for Korea specification standard. According to the results considering strength, shrinkage, and economical efficiency, two mix designs were selected; 1) containing 25 percent of fly ash and 2) containing 25 percent of fly ash with 10 percent of expensive additive. For field test based on the result of laboratory test, the optimized alternative in cement treated base with lower shrinkage was the mix design containing 25 percent of fly ash with 10 percent of expansive additive.

The purpose of this study is to develop and commercialize a paddle-type fluidized dryer. The drying system used in this study, was designed to attach a paddle-type fluidized mixer to a dryer. The drying system is based on the drying method to generate thermal contacts, as fluidized layers are generated due to a paddle mechanism. Accordingly, the time of drying is short and material damage is very little. Also, the drying system operates as a closer system so it can be utilized not only for food and chemical materials, but also for environmental pollution materials. According to its performance test, the drying system is possible to dry low-moisture contents and its drying performance is outstanding. In conclusion, the drying system designed for this study, is likely to have great potential for commercialization.

Tracking, which is one of the main causes of electrical fires, is perceived as a physical phenomenon of electrical discharge. Hence tracking should be explained based on electric field analysis, conduction path by electron generation, and gas discharge physics. However, few papers have considered these details. This paper proposes a tracking mechanism including their effects on tracking progress. In order to prove this mechanism, a tracking experiment, an electric field analysis for the carbonization evolution model, and an explanation of the tracking process by gas discharge physics were conducted. From the tracking experiment, the current waveforms were measured at each stage of the tracking progress from corona discharge to tracking breakdown. The electric field analysis was carried out in order to determine the electric field on the surface of a dry-band and the high electric field region for electron generation during the generation and progress of carbonization. In this paper, the proposed tracking mechanism consisted of six stages including electron avalanche by corona discharge, accumulation of positive ions, expansion of electron avalanche, secondary electron emission avalanche, streamer, and tracking by conductive path. The pulse current waveforms measured in the tracking experiment can be explained by the proposed tracking mechanism. The results of this study will be used as the technical data to detect tracking phenomenon, which is the cause of electric fire, and to improve the proof tracking index.
