Four developed patents have applied for a new type of Composite Cyclone Scrubber followed by the previous research (Cho and Kim, 2017), including dust reducing fan with filters. Regarding target installation and maintenance cost, 64% reduction for investment costs (6.2 billion won vs. 17 billion won) compared to existing road pollution reduction system, while social benefit costs increase by 43% compared to existing road pollution reduction measures (72.6 billion won vs. 50.8 billion won). The composition of the device is an air blower type spiral guide vane, and an injection pressure collecting dust efficiency. A nozzle varies Injection angle and contact range, spray liquid species (waterworks, salty water). The proposed patent tests are circulation water Time-by-Time Spray and collected 41.4% more increased micro dust since the sprayed water meets contaminated gas due to the 45° degree colliding, which is 141% increased conventional dust collector. (Ratio of collection over 85%). As regards the source of collection liquid, circulated rainwater and well water, we expect a huge amount of energy and economically saved eco-friendly system in our patent. Finally, the guided vane and metal filter reduced over 90% micro-dust, while sprayed water cleans the vane and filters, resultantly minimizing the maintenance budget. The preliminary evaluations of the developed design make it possible to reduce not only cheaper maintenance budget due to the characteristic water spraying but the cost of water comes from mainly rain and underground.

반도체 소자의 미세화와 더불어 세정공정의 중요성이 차지하는 비중이 점점 커지고, 이에 따라 세정 기술 개발에 대한 요구가 증대되고 있다. 기존 세정 기술은 화학약품 위주의 습식 세정 방식으로 표면 손상, 화학 반응, 부산물, 세정 효율 등 여러 가지 어려움이 있다. 따라서 건식세정 방식이 활발하게 도입되고 있으며 대표적인 것이 에어로졸 세정이다. 에어로졸 세정은 기체상의 작동기체를 이용하여 에어로졸을 형성하고 표면 오염물질과 직접 물리적 충돌을 함으로써 세정한다. 하지만 이 또한 생성되는 에어로졸 내 발생 입자로 인해 패턴 손상이 발생하며 이러한 문제점을 극복하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 가스클러스터 장치를 이용한 세정 특성 평가에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 가스 클러스터란 작동기체의 분자가 수십에서 수백 개 뭉쳐 있는 형태를 뜻하며 이렇게 형성된 클러스터는 수 nm 크기를 형성하게 된다. 그리고 짧은 시간의 응축에 의해 수십 nm 크기까지 성장하게 된다. 에어로졸 세정과 다르게 클러스터가 성장할 환경과 시간을 형성하지 않음으로써 작은 클러스터를 형성하게 되며 이로 인해 패턴 손상을 최소화 하고 상대적으로 높은 효율로 오염입자를 제거하게 된다. 클러스터 세정 장비를 이용한 표면 처리는 충돌에 의한 제거에 기반한다. 따라서 생성 및 가속되는 클러스터로부터 대상으로 전달되는 운동량의 정도가 세정 특성에 영향을 미치며 이는 생성되는 클러스터의 크기에 종속적이다. 생성 클러스터의 크기 분포는 분사 거리, 유량, 분사 각도, 노즐 냉각 온도 등의 변수에 관한 함수이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 $CO_2$ 클러스터를 이용한 세정 특성을 평가하기 위하여 이러한 변수에 따라서 오염 입자의 종류, 크기에 따른 PRE (particle removal efficiency)를 평가하고 다양한 선폭의 패턴을 이용하여 손상 실험을 수행하였다. 제거 효율에 사용된 입자는 $CeO_2$와 $SiO_2$이며, 각각 30, 50, 100, 300 nm 크기를 정량적으로 오염시킨 쿠폰 웨이퍼를 제조하여 세정 효율을 평가하였다. 정량적 오염에는 SMPS (scanning mobility particle sizer)를 이용한 크기 분류와 정전기적 입자 부착 시스템이 사용되었다. 또한 패턴 붕괴 평가에는 35~180 nm 선폭을 가지는 Poly-Si 패턴을 이용하였다. 실험 결과 클러스터 형성 조건에 따라 상대적으로 낮은 패턴 붕괴에서 95% 이상의 높은 오염입자 제거효율을 전반적으로 보이는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 이론적 계산에 기반하여 세정에 요구되는 클러스터 크기를 가정하고, 이를 통하여 세정에 적용할 경우 높은 기존 세정 방법의 단점을 보완하면서 높은 세정 효율을 가지는 대체 세정 방안으로 이용할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

그래핀은 높은 전자 이동도, 열전도도, 기계적 강도, 유연성 등의 고유한 특성으로 다양한 분야에 응용하기 위한 연구가 수행되고 있으며, 특히 전자 소자에의 적용에 관한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 전자 소자에 적용하기 위해서는 성장 및 물성에 관한 규명, 응용 소자에 따른 특성 평가가 필요하다. 이러한 소자 특성은 그래핀 물성에 의한 영향이 기본적이지만 에칭, 전사 등의 공정 중 발생하는 오염, 표면 특성, 잔여물 등에 의한 물성 변화 또한 분석 및 제어에 관한 연구가 필요하다. 열화학증착법(thermal chemical vapor deposition)을 이용한 그래핀 합성은 구리 기판을 사용하며, 합성된 그래핀의 에칭, 박리 및 전사 공정이 있다. 이러한 공정 중 발생하는 오염 입자가 그래핀 표면에 흡착되거나, 제거되지 않은 PMMA 잔여물이 그래핀의 특성에 영향을 미치게 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 $CO_2$ 클러스터의 표면 충돌을 이용하여 이러한 오염 물질 및 잔여물을 제거하고 그래핀 표면을 평탄화하는 것에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 가스 클러스터란 작동기체의 분자가 수십에서 수백 개 뭉쳐 있는 형태를 뜻하며 이렇게 형성된 클러스터는 수 nm 크기를 형성하게 된다. 그리고 짧은 시간의 응축에 의해 수십 nm 크기 까지 성장 하게 된다. 클러스터를 이용한 표면 처리는 충돌에 의한 제거에 기반 한다. 따라서 생성 및 가속되는 클러스터로부터 대상으로 전달되는 운동량의 정도가 세정 특성에 영향을 미치며 이는 생성되는 클러스터의 크기에 종속적이다. 생성 클러스터의 크기 분포는 분사거리, 유량, 분사 각도, 노즐 냉각 온도 등의 변수에 관한 함수이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 변수들을 제어하여 클러스터를 이용한 그래핀 표면 처리 실험을 수행하였다. 평가는 클러스터 표면 처리 전과 후의 특성 비교에 기반 하였으며, 광학 현미경을 이용한 표면 형상 측정, 라만분광 분석, AFM을 이용한 표면 조도 측정, 그래핀 면저항 측정 결과를 비교하였다. 평가 결과를 통하여 표면 처리를 하지 않은 그래핀에 비하여 면저항과 표면 조도가 낮아지는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 또한 클러스터 세정은 300 mm 웨이퍼 크기 이상의 대면적을 짧은 시간에 건식으로 세정할 수 있다는 장점이 있어 향후 최적화를 통해 그래핀 양산 시 특성 향상을 위한 후처리 방법으로 사용될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

An optimum configuration of the hybrid/dual swirl jet combustor for a micro-gas turbine was investigated experimentally. Location of pilot nozzle, angle and direction of swirler vane were varied systematically as main parameters under the conditions of constant thermal load. The results showed that the variation in locations of inner fuel nozzle and pilot burner resulted in significant change in flame shape and swirl intensity due to the changes in recirculating flow pattern and minimum flow area near burner exit, in particular, with the significant reduction of CO emission near lean-flammability limit. In addition, it was observed that the co-swirl configuration produced less CO and NOx emissions compared to the counter-swirl configuration.

In a spray experiment using a venturi mounted on a lean premixed LPP injector, droplets appear to have non-uniform distributions. To solve this problem, the exit angle of the venturi was changed to form a dump surface on the nozzle neck. The dump surface improved the atomization performance and minimized droplet loss while forming recirculation zone in the venturi exit. In order to solve the non-uniform spray of the injector, the flow characteristics inside the venturi and SMD of the spray are compared. Finally, an optimum venturi shape is selected to minimize the spray loss and improve the spray performance.

Although biomass syngas is very low calorific gas, it is utilized by means of dual fuel combustion technology in the fields of industrial furnace and boiler as a substitute oil technology. The basic structure of duel fuel combustion burner is designed so that low caloric gas fuel is supplied around an oil burner in the middle. In the present study, three types of mixing burners were manufactured to conduct performance experiment. Low caloric gas was evenly distributed around the oil burner and the method of changing the angle of gas nozzle was applied. CO generation decreased according to the increase of the amount of air for combustion. In addition, the shapes and colors of flame changed according to the proportions of gas and oil used. Remained flame after combustion was from the lack of atomization at the exit of oil burner. Although it was difficult to maintain the optimum air ratio due to different required air ratio for oil and syngas, stable combustion was able to maintained within excess oxygen concentration of 4.7~8.2%. From this study, it was shown that the oil atomization at the exit of fuel oil nozzle was promoted by the increased rate of syngas combustion and the CO concentration in flue gas lower than only fuel oil combustion.

A crude oil leakage from a large atmospheric storage tank occurred on 4 April 2014 at 14:50 in Ulsan City, while storing the crude oil in the tank. Emergency Rescue Control Group was deployed in the scene. The company, Fire Service Headquarters and associated agencies got together in Command Post (CP) for discussing an effective corresponding strategy. Many solution plans were drafted in the debate such as power down, stopping the facilities, checking the density of inflammable gas, suppressing oil evaporation, moving the leaked crude oil to a nearby tank and a processing plant and avoiding marine pollution. All the solutions were carried out in cooperation with several agencies and partners. The oil leakage accident was successfully settled up within the process of responding, The Fire Service Headquarters and the company thought that the most important thing was the suppression of oil evaporation and the elimination of ignition source. With Fire Service Headquarters and several agencies' every effort, an explosion and a fire didn't occurred in the scene. This study suggest the improvement of the operating system in Emergency Rescue Control Group in case of petroleum leakage, explosion and fire accidents of atmospheric storage tank, different from a ordinary disaster. Assuming that petroleum leakage in atmospheric storage tank develop the explosion and fire accidents, the spreading speed of the flame and the burning time was experimented and compared with each other. Furthermore, this study concentrates on the effective field response plan prepared for the afterward explosion and fire accidents from petroleum leak in a storage tank, with the database experimented and analyzed in accordance with the angle of radiation in the foam nozzle and the pressure of pumping in a fire engine.

Recently, a mega project such as Korea-China or Korea-Japan undersea tunnel project has been emerged for detail discussion and the interest in undersea tunnel is on the rise. More severe damage by train fire is expected in undersea tunnel comparing to ground tunnel and thus the study on more efficient fire extinguishing system, besides existing disaster prevention design is underway. To that end, a full-scale fire tests using CAF fire extinguishing system which has been developed by modifying traditional foam fire extinguishing system for fire suppression at rescue station in timely manner were conducted over 7 times. The test was conducted after setting the rescue station in virtual tunnel with a car of KTX. As a result of using compressed air foam directly to the fire source, 30 liter of Heptane combustibles was extinguished within 1 minutes. Applicability of compressed air foam to train fire at rescue station in undersea tunnel was has been proven and further study is considered required while changing the nozzle angle and location so as to achieve quick and easy extinguishing goal, making use of the advantage of CAF, as well as to reduce the fire water and chemicals required.

Weld overlay was first used in power plants in the US in the early 1980s as an interim method of repairing the welds of flawed piping joints. Weld overlaid piping joints in nuclear power plants must be examined periodically using ultrasonic examination technology. Portable phased array ultrasonic technology has recently become available. Currently, the application of preemptive weld overlays as a mitigation technique and/as a method to improve the examination surface condition for more complex configurations is becoming more common. These complex geometries may require several focused conventional transducers for adequate inspection of the overlay, the original weld, and the base material. Alternatively, Phased array ultrasonic probes can be used to generate several inspection angles simultaneously at various focal depths to provide better and faster coverage than that possible by conventional methods. Thus, this technology can increase the speed of examinations, save costs, and reduce radiation exposure. In this paper, we explain the general sequence of the inspection of weld overlay and the results of signal analysis for some PAUT (phased array ultrasonic testing) signals detected in on-site inspections.
