A cyclone separator has been widely used in various industrial processes for removing fine particulate matter because it is easy to fabricate, cost effective, and adaptable to extremely harsh conditions. However, owing to the complex flow field in cyclones, a complete understanding of the detailed mechanisms of particulate removal has not yet been gained. In this study, a theoretical analysis was performed for calculating the collection efficiency and cut-off size in cyclones by taking into account the effects of geometrical and flow parameters. The collection efficiency and cut-off size values predicted by the theoretical model showed good agreement with experimental measurements for particles with a diameter of $0.5-30{\mu}m$. It was also revealed that the surface friction, along with the flow and geometrical parameters, has a significant effect on the cyclone performance.

비점오염원은 기상조건과 토지이용에 따라 시간에 따른 오염부하량의 변동폭이 크게 발생하며, 강우초기에 오염물질의 농도가 크게 나타난다. MFFn은 강우지속시간에 따라 다양하게 변화하는 오염물질의 부하량과 유출량을 특정시점에서 강우유출율과 오염물질 유출율을 계산할 수 있으며, 강우가 시작될 때 0, 종료될 때 1의 값을 나타내며, 1보다 크면 초기세척이 있음을 나타낸다. 예를 들면 MFF20에서 평균값이 2.5이면 초기우수유출수의 부피 20%에 오염물질 부하량의 부피 50%를 포함하는 것을 의미한다. 본 연구에서는 논에서의 초기세척비율 정량화하기 위해 영산강수계 논지역(이하, 학야지구)과 섬진강수계 논지역(이하, 적성지구) 각 1개유역을 선정하여 2009년부터 2012년까지 수문 및 수질 모니터링을 수행하였다. 유역면적은 학야지구는 13.69 ha 이며, 적성지구는 8.06ha 이다. 두 지역 모두 외부유입이 없으며, 배수로가 구조물화 되어 있어 관측이 용이한 지점이다. 논에서 강우시유출되는 오염물질을 산정하기 위해서 배수로 말단에 압력식 수위계와 자동채수기를 설치하여 일정간격으로 관측하였으며, 수위별 유량관측을 통해 수위-유량관계곡선식을 산정 후 유량으로 환산하였다. 채취된 수질은 수질공정시험법을 통해 BOD, COD, TOC, T-N, T-P, SS를 분석하였으며, 관측된 유량과 수질자료를 이용하여 부하량을 산정하고, MFFn을 이용하여 초기세척비율을 정량화 하였다. BOD COD, TOC, T-N, T-P, SS 의 논 초기세척비율은 n 값이 10% 때 중앙값이 각각 1.3, 1.18, 1.13, 1.2, 1.13, 1.1 였으며, 13%, 11.8%, 11.3%, 12%, 11.3%, 11% 가 유출되는 것으로 나타났으며, n 값이 20%일 때 1.3, 1.1, 1.1, 1.25, 1.2, 1.2 이였으며, 26%, 22%, 22%, 25%, 24%. 24%가 유출되는 것으로 나타났다. n 값이 30%일 때 1.25, 1.0, 1.0, 1.25, 1.13, 1.3 였으며, 37.5%, 30%, 30%, 37.5%, 33.9%, 39%가 유출되는 것으로 나타났다.

Rubber compounds have a high viscoelastic property. One of the viscoelastic behaviors during profile extrusion is the swelling of extrudate, and the amount of swelling varies with operational conditions in extrusion. It is well recognized that the elastic portion in the viscoelastic property plays an important role in the extrudate swell. In this study computer simulation of the die swell at the capillary die for several rubber compounds has been performed using commercial CFD code, Polyflow. A non-linear differential viscoelastic model, Phan-Thien-Tanner (PTT) model, was used in the computer simulation. Non-isothermal behavior was considered in the calculation. Distribution of pressure, velocity and temperature in the reservoir and capillary die, and extrudate profiles were predicted through the simulation. The amount of the die swell fur the different rubber compounds was investigated for various flow rates and three types of length to diameter of the capillary die. It is concluded that the PTT model successfully represented viscoelastic behavior of rubber compounds.

In order to meet more severe environmental regulations, oxy-fuel circulating fluidized bed(CFB) boilers or ultra supercritical CFB boilers, which are a kind of process in that solid particles moves similar to fluid, have been developed in the world. In CFB power generation processes, the method to reduce or remove sulfur dioxide is in-situ desulfurization reaction via limestone directly injected into CFB boilers. However, the desulfurization efficiencies have continuously changed because limestones injected into CFB boilers are affected by various operation conditions (Bed temperature, pressure, solid circulating rate, solid holdup, residence time, and so on). In this study, a prediction method with physical and chemical properties of limestone and operation conditions of CFB boiler for in-situ desulfurization reaction in CFB boilers has developed by integrating desulfurization kinetic equations and hydrodynamics equations for CFB previously published. In particular, the prediction equation for in-situ desulfurization was modified by using experimental results from desulfurization reactions of various domestic limestones.

The process and facilities of modern chemical plants are becoming increasingly complex, there is possibility of potential risk. Internal chemicals generate stress concentration when operated due to turbulence, laminar flow, pressure, temperature, friction, etc. It causes cumulative fatigue damage, which can damage or rupture chemical facilities and devices. The statistics of chemical accidents found that the highest rate of occurrence was in summer, and in the last five years statistics on chemical accidents, leakage incidents make up a decent percentage of accidents. Chemical leaks can cause serious human damage and economic damage, including explosions and environmental pollution. In this study, based on the leak accident of chemical plant, the risk analysis, and damage effects assessment were estimated using a 3D scanner and FLACS. As a result, if chemicals leak in summer, the risk is higher than in other seasons, the seasonal safety management measures, and countermeasure were estimated.

The adsorption equilibria of oxygen, nitrogen and argon on carbonaceous adsorbent with slit-shaped and randomly etched graphite (REG) pores were calculated by molecular simulation method. Reliable models of adsorbents and adsorbates for adsorption equilibria are important for the correct design of industrial adsorptive separation processes. At the smallest physical pore of $5.6{\AA}$, only oxygen molecules were accommodated at the center of the slit-shaped pore, and from $5.9{\AA}$ nitrogen and argon molecules could be accommodated in the pores. Slit pores showed higher adsorption capacity compared with REG pores with same averaged reenterance pore size due to dead volume and inaccessible volume in defected pores. And it was shown the adsorption capacities of oxygen and argon was same in larger pore size. From calculated adsorption isotherms at 298 K it showed that the adsorption capacity ratio of oxygen to nitrogen is increased as pressure is increased.

The present study examined the various strength and deformation performances of molding materials recycled using film packaging wastes to ascertain the their applicability to secondary products in construction industries. The stress-strain relationships of molding materials were measured under compression, tension, and flexure in accordance with the ASTM procedure. The measured mechanical properties of recycled molding materials were comparable to typical ranges observed in low-density polyethylene and/or high-density polyethylene. However, to stabilize the properties of the molding materials, further management systems are required as follows: 1) evaluation of mechanical properties of materials with respect to various mixing proportions of waste ingredients; 2) estimation of the effect of foreign substance and moisture contents on the mechanical properties; and 3) establishment of comprehensive database including various sources such as manufacture process including applied pressure to produce the molding materials, and collection region and time of wastes.

$Cu_2ZnSn(S,Se)_4(CZTSSe)$ thin film solar cells areone of the most promising candidates for photovoltaic devices due to their earth-abundant composition, high absorption coefficient and appropriate band gap. The sputtering process is the main challenge to achieving high efficiency of CZTSSe solar cells for industrialization. In this study, we fabricated CZTSSe absorbers on Mo coated soda lime glass using different pressures during the annealing process. As an environmental strategy, the annealing process is performed with S and Se powder, without any toxic $H_2Se$ and/or $H_2S$ gases. Because CZTSSe thin films have a very narrow stable phase region, it is important to control the condition of the annealing process to achieve high efficiency of the solar cell. To identify the effect of process pressure during the sulfo-selenization, we experiment with varying initial pressure from 600 Torr to 800 Torr. We fabricate a CZTSSe thin film solar cell with 8.24 % efficiency, with 435 mV for open circuit voltage($V_{OC}$) and $36.98mA/cm^2$ for short circuit current density($J_{SC}$), under a highest process pressure of 800 Torr.

Indium tin oxide(ITO) thin films were deposited on the glass substrates by radio-frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering method. The influence of rapid thermal annealing (RTA) treatment on the optical and electrical properties of the films were investigated for the purpose of fabricating plasma display signboard. Structural properties, surface roughness, sheet resistance and transmittance of the ITO film were analysed by using x-ray diffraction method, atomic force microscopy (AFM), four point prove, and ultraviolet-visible spectrometer, respectively. It was found that the RTA treatment increased the transmittance and decreased the resistivity of the ITO film, respectively. Furthermore, we successfully demonstrated the direct-current plasma signboard by using ITO electrode and phosphors.

Grouting, which is applied for the increase of ground strength and the decrease of permeability, is complex process because of several reasons, so the process needs to be elaborated. Injection process in consideration of ground condition and optimization of grouting sequence is essential. In this study, GIN (Grouting Intensity Number), multiple of injected grout volume and pressure, is revised to consider injection pressure reduction and joint opening during grouting process. A revised GIN process is evaluated through a field test. A revised GIN, considering ground condition, injection pressure, follows GIN envelope and produces rational grouting process. The result of a revised GIN reduces permeability of the ground in the order of 10^-1~10^-2 cm/sec.
