An analytical model was developed by Sim to estimate the two-phase damping ratio for upward two-phase flow perpendicular to horizontal tube bundles. The parameters of two-phase flow, such as void fraction and pressure loss evaluated in the model, were calculated based on existing experimental formulations. However, it is necessary to implement a few improvements in the formulations for the case of tube bundles. For the purpose of the improved formulation, we need more information about the two-phase parameters, which can be found through experimental test. An experiment is performed with a typical normal square array of cylinders subjected to the two-phase flow of air-water in the tube bundles, to calculate the two-phase Euler number and the two-phase friction multiplier. The pitch-to-diameter ratio is 1.35 and the diameter of cylinder is 18mm. Pressure loss along the flow direction in the tube bundles is measured with a pressure transducer and data acquisition system to calculate the two-phase Euler number and the two-phase friction multiplier. The void fraction model by Feenstra et al. is used to estimate the void fraction of the two-phase flow in tube bundles. The experimental results of the two phase friction multiplier and two-phase Euler number for homogeneous and non-homogeneous two-phase flows are compared and evaluated against the analytical results given by Sim's model.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of recycled aggregates powder (RP) contents on recycled aggregates (RA) using fly-ash (FA) mortar in a condition of zero cement targeting earth filling materials, and the results can be summarized as follows. First, there was a tendency that as RP contents increased, W/B and air contents increased also. In the case of compressive strength, the strength was hardly developed at the early age, which was prior to 14 days; however, with the starting point of 14 days of age, strength of around 1.5~2.0 MPa was developed when it arrived at 28 days. At a curing temperature of $20^{\circ}C$, the more RP contents increased, the more the compressive strength increased in comparison with FA 100% at all levels except RP 100 %, showing the highest compressive strength at RP 25 %. At a curing temperature of $35^{\circ}C$, the temperature-dependence appeared to be large, as the RP contents were decreased compared to the curing temperature of $20^{\circ}C$. In addition, based on SEM analysis, this study was able to confirm that a pozzolanic reaction formed by an alkali stimulus of RA with the lapse of certain days even in 100 percent FA, causing the densification of tissues, and with RP 25%, hydrate was created the most densely by the hydration of unhydrated cement particles and pozzolanic reaction of FA.

This study analysis the fundamental properties of temperature-dependence corresponding the change of curing temperature classified by the replacement ratio of BS, and the results are summarized as following. As the properties of flow, plain satisfied with the target slump, and as the replacement ratio of BS increased, the flow increased, but the air content slightly decreased. The time of set delayed as the replacement ratio of BS increased, but the curing temperature $35^{\circ}C$, even with 80% BS replaced concrete, the time of set was faster than $5^{\circ}C$, $20^{\circ}C$ plain, so the temperature-dependence was much greater. The compressive strength was decreased as the replacement ratio of BS increased, especially as the curing temperature lower, the compressive strength was lower comparatively. Also as the age increased, the plain developed more strength, therefore it show the temperature-dependence is much larger.

For recycling of waste foundry sands, researchers recently try to recycle them rather than depend on reclamation, and are studying on how to combine waste foundry sands with cement and use them for various kinds of construction material as the effective recycling method of waste foundry sand. In this research, The ways to find the proper replacement rate of waste foundry sands and to make use of them were suggested through the experiments on the range to apply waste foundry sands with two levels of 1:3 mixture rate of W/C 43% and 50%. The research result showed that in terms of liquidity as the characteristic of unhardened mortar, as the replacement rate of waste foundry sands increased, its flow tended to decrease. The amount of air also displayed a similar tendency to that of liquidity in that the higher the replacement rate of waste foundry sands became, the lower it became. With regard to the solidity trait of hardened mortar, it increased when the waste foundry sands were replaced more, and the replacement of waste foundry sands caused increased initial solidity. As for the amount of water permeated and that of water absorbed as the water tight proofing properties, the amount of permeated water was proved to decrease because of the gap recharge effect by the fine powder of waste foundry sands, and the replacement of waste foundry sands in the structures requiring watertightness is concluded to be very effective.

In this study, the research examined the effect on FC, WG, RP replacement ratio on the quality improvement of BS mortar using the RA. First of all, the flow value increased as the FC contents increased, and decreased as the WG and RP contents increased. The air contents was reduced as the FC and RP contents increased, but was increased as the WG contents went up While the compressive strength of 1 : 7 mix proportion increased with the increase of the FC and WG contents, it decreased as there was more RP contents. The compressive strength of RP could increase as the mix proportion increased, but the difference depending on the improvement material type and replacement ratio decreased gradually. The absorption deteriorated as the FC and RP contents increased in all the mix proportions, but improved a little when WG was used. Meanwhile, the absorption decreased as the compressive strength improved in all the mix proportions as a correlation, but the order was FC, RP and WG depending on the quality improvement material types. The FC and WG were most favorable in terms of quality improvement as a total analysis, and the RP and WG was most effective in terms of economical efficiency and resource recycling.

Recently, interest grew on the quality of aggregates following the diminution of primary resources from river as to grow construction demand and the low grade of nature sand like sea sand. Following, need is to diversify the supply sources of fine aggregates which are excessively relying on sea sand and urgency is to find as soon as possible aggregate resources that can substitute sea sand. On the other hand, various fine aggregates are utilized to produce concrete in the domestic construction fields. However, few studies have been systematically investigated on the effects of such fine aggregates on concrete properties. Therefore, this study examined the effects of comparatively widely used fine aggregates in the domestic construction fields on the quality of concrete through the analysis of the effects of such fine aggregates on the physical properties of fresh concrete and strength of hardened concrete. Results revealed that crushed sand degraded the fluidity and air entraining of concrete compared to natural aggregates like sea sand and river sand. Especially, the use of crushed sand exhibiting bad grain shape and grade was larger adverse effect on the physical properties of concrete. The type of fine aggregates appeared to have negligible influence on the strength for W/C of 55%, 45% while crushed sand decreased the strength for W/C of 35% compared to natural aggregates. It analyzed that the combination of crushed sand exhibiting bad grain shape and grade with natural aggregates improved the characteristics of fresh concrete and had negligible influence on the strength.

Zerovalent iron (ZVI) has been recently used for environmental remediation of soils and groundwaters contaminated by chlorinated organic compounds. As a new approach to improve its reductive activity and stability, zerovalent iron-montmorillonites (ZVI-Mt) complex are synthesized by simple process. Therefore, this study was carried out to elucidate the characteristics of ZVI-Mt complex and to investigate degradation effects of fungicide chlorothalonil. The XRD patterns of ZVI-Mt complex showed distinctive peaks of ZVI and montmorillonite. In ZVI-Mt complex, the oval particles of ZVI were partly surrounded by montmorillonite layers that could prevent ZVI surface oxidation by air. The degradation ratio of chlorothalonil after 60 min exhibited 71% by ZVI and 100% by ZVI-Mt complex. ZVI-Mt21 complex exhibited much higher and faster degradation ratio of chlorothalonil compare to that of ZVI or ZVI-Mt11 complex. Also, degradation rate of chlorothalonil was increased with increasing ZVI or ZVI-Mt complex content and with decreasing initial solution pH.

Changes in quality during frozen storage of meat with thermal equalized freezing and various freezing methods were investigated. When beef were frozen at freezing rate of $0.39{\sim}0.66\;cm/h$, average diameter of ice crystal were about $30{\sim}50\;{\mu}m$ and showed broken tissues or irregular cracks. At freezing velocity of $1.14{\sim}2.26\;cm/h$, ice crystals of about $10{\sim}30\;{\mu}m$ was formed mainly inside or between fiber and slight destruction of tissues was occurred. The average diameter (D) of the ice crystals were related to the characteristic freezing time $(t_c)$ by the equation: $D({\mu}m)=4.089+26.88logt_c\;(r^2=0.913)$. Beef with still-air freezing showed higher drip loss than methods of immersion and thermal equalized freezing. Also, drip loss of pork was relatively lower than beef and showed highest value to 7.39% during storage on 40 days at air-blast freezing method. No apparent change of pH during storage of frozen beef and pork by freezing methods were detected. However, least changes for sample with thermal equalized freezing was found compare to sample with still-air and air blast freezing in VBN and TBA value. The fluctuation of frozen storage temperature did not cause noticeable changes on pH and water content. However, drip loss, VBN and TBA values were increased slowly as frequency of fluctuation increased.

In this study, the torque and horizontal stress acting on vane were measured and then used to determine a friction angle of sand. A dry Nakdong River sand was prepared for loose and dense conditions in a cell and then pressurized with 25, 50, 75 or 100 kPa from the surface of sand. A vane (5cm in diameter and 10cm in height) was rotated and the torque and horizontal stress were measured at real time. A maximum torque was 3.5-9.5Nm for loose sand and 7.4-17.6Nm for dense sand, respectively. The maximum torque increased as an overburden pressure increased. The maximum torque obtained at 14-20 degrees of vane rotation, which was not influenced by the initial alignment of earth pressure and vane blade. An initial horizontal stress ratio was 0.33-0.35 on the average. The horizontal stress increased initially and then decreased due to particle disturbance. A friction angle was calculated from real time varying horizontal stress and torque, which decreased with increasing overburden pressure. The friction angle of loose sand from vane shear test was similar to that of direct shear test but that of dense sand was overestimated.

대기압 플라즈마는 멸균과 살균, 지혈, 피부재생, 치아 미백 등 여러 의학 분야를 대상으로 그 효과를 나타내고 있으며, 플라즈마 장비를 만들어 내기 위해 부피가 큰 진공 장비가 필요하지 않다는 점에서 대기압 플라즈마는 그 활용과 효과에 있어 큰 기대를 받고 있다. 대기압에서 플라즈마는 다양한 주파수를 이용하여 만들어져 왔으며, 본 연구실에서 연구하고 있는 수백 MHz-수 GHz 대역의 파워를 사용하는 플라즈마의 경우 대기압 플라즈마를 의학 분야에 사용할 때 만족해야 할 조건들에 만족하는 특성을 보여준다. 기존의 고주파를 사용하는 장비의 경우 추가적인 Matching 장비로 인해 플라즈마를 만들기 위해 큰 장비와 높은 파워가 필요한 단점이 있었다. 하지만 이 마이크로웨이브 장비는 전송선 이론을 기반으로 장비 자체가 구조적인 Matching이 이루어 지도록 설계되었다(그림 1). 즉, 추가적인 Matching 장비의 필요 없이 외부에서 파워를 주는 것만으로 플라즈마를 발생 시킬 수 있으며, 50% 이상의 파워 효율을 보여준다. 또한 그 크기도 손에 쥐고 사용할 수 있을 볼펜 정도의 크기이며, 3W의 정도의 저 전력으로 플라즈마를 발생 시켰다. 높은 에너지를 가지는 전자들은 공급되는 기체뿐만 아니라, 주변 공기와의 반응하여 여러 응용분야에 적합한 활성 종을 다량 만들어내게 된다. 본 연구실의 강점인 플라즈마 시뮬레이션으로 얻은 결과에서 주파수가 올라 갈수록 높은 에너지를 가지는 전자들이 많아지는 것을 보여준다. 그리고 발생시킨 플라즈마의 광학 특성에서도 생의학 분야에 적합한 많은 활성 종들이 발생 되는 것을 확인하였다. 일반적으로 의학 분야에 사용되는 플라즈마의 경우 플라즈마에서 발생하는 열에 의한 피해를 최소화 하는 것이 중요하다. 마이크로웨이브 플라즈마의 경우, 그 플라즈마의 온도가 50$50^{\circ}$C 미만으로 의학 분야에 사용하기 적합하다. 또한 구동 주파수가 올라갈수록 플라즈마를 유지하는데 필요한 전압이 상대적으로 낮아지게 되는데, 이는 전기적 쇼크 등 플라즈마 의용에서 발생하는 안전성 문제에 있어서도 마이크로 웨이브 장비가 좋은 점이다. 본 플라즈마 장비를 구동하기 위한 손바닥 크기 정도의 소형의 전용 파워 장치를 개발함으로써 저전력 소형 플라즈마 장치를 개발하는 것을 목표로 하고 있다. 마이크로 웨이브 장비는 여러 가지 분야에서 그 효과를 검증 받았다. 혈액 응고 실험에서 30초 정도의 짧은 처리만으로도 자연 응고에 비해 탁월한 지혈 효과를 보여줬다 (그림 2). 충치를 발생시키는 대표적인 구강균인 S.mutans의 살균 실험에서 Ti02와의 복합적인 처리를 통해 30초 미만의 처리로 처리하지 않은 것에 비해 10-6 만큼의 줄어드는 살균 효과를 보여줬다. 뿐만 아니라 치아의 미백에 있어서도 탁월한 효과를 나타냈다. 현재 본연구실에서는 마이크로 웨이브 장비의 기본적인 구조를 응용하여, 좀더 넓은 영역을 처리할 수 있는 대면적 마이크로 웨이브 장비를 위한 연구를 수행 중이다.
