Dryers becoming commercially available for experimental and industrial use are classified to general drying oven, hot-air dryer, vacuum dryer, freezing dryer, etc. and kinds of them are various from the function, size and volume, etc. But the moisture measurement is not applied although it is important factor for the quality control and the performance improvement of products, and then now is very passive because the weight is weighed arbitrarily after dry-end. Generally the method for measuring moisture is divided by a direct measurement method and a indirect measurement method, and the former such as the change of weight or volume on the front and rear of separation of moisture, etc. is mainly used. Relatively a indirect measurement is very limited to apply due to utilize measurement apparatuses using temperature conductivity and micro-wave etc. In this research, we easily designed the moisture measurement system using the open-source based Arduino, and monitored moisture fluctuations and weight profiles in the real-time without the effect of external environment. Concretely the temperature-humidity and load cell sensors were packaged into a drying oven and the various change values were measured, and their sensors capable to operate 60℃ and 80℃ were selected to suitable for the moisture sensitive materials and the food dry. And also the performance safety using the organic samples of banana, pear, sawdust could be secured because the changes of evaporation rate as the dry time and temperature, and the measurement values of load cell appeared stable response characteristics through repeated experiments. Hereafter we judge that the reliability can be improved increasingly through the expansion of temperature-humidity range and the comparative analysis with CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) program.

The objective of this research is to evaluate the optimum recycling methods for the sewage sludge cakes at different microwave power-settings and for different periods of time. The dehydrated sewage sludge cakes used in this study was obtained from N wastewater treatment plan in the P City. The beginning drying processes were carried out in a microwave oven with 2,450 MHz frequency and power ranges of 1kW to 4 kW. The continuous conveyer drying system was also operated with 2,450 MHz frequency and power setting, ranging from of 1 kW to 6 kW. Initial moisture content of the sewage cake is 78~80%, and the moisture content decreased rapidly up to 0.2~2(wt%) within short periods due to breaking the cell walls. This study is also conducted to evaluate the characteristics of sewage sludge cakes with respect to important physical parameters effect on the thermal kinetics for evaporation water in the sludge which are operation times, moisture contents, drying rates, input amounts, flow rates and calorific values. It takes 60 minutes and 120 minutes to reach the critical moisture contents with power setting of 4 kW for 3kg/min and 6kg/min of the flow rates respectively. It takes 120 minutes and 110 minutes to reach the critical moisture contents with flow rates of 2.5 cm/min and sludge input of 6kg/min for the power settings of 4 kW and 6 kW respectively. The most effective value of the power for drying the sludge is 4 kW. Operation with 6kg/min and 4kW on 2cm of the sludge thickness can be effectively and inexpensively to reach the critical moisture contents, when you compare 2cm of the sludge thickness with 1cm and 3cm of the sludge thickness.

수문 순환 및 물 수지에 관한 연구는 강수량, 지표유출량, 지하수, 토양수분 및 증발산량에 대한 정량화가 이루어질 때 실제적으로 규명될 수 있다. 그러나, 수문 순환 및 물수지 평가에 중요한 부분을 차지하는 증발산량의 경우 관측값보다 단순한 가정이나 경험식에 의한 추정값을 사용하고 있어 그 자료의 신뢰성에 대해서도 꾸준히 문제가 제기되어 왔다. 따라서, 수문 순환 및 물수지의 정량적인 분석을 위해서는 수문 순환 과정에서 상당부분을 차지하는 증발산량의 측정(실측)이 필요한 실정이다. 본 연구는 환경부의 기초수문자료 구축사업의 일환으로 수행되고 있으며, 에디공분산 기술을 사용하여 증발산량을 직접 관측하고 있다. 에디공분산 방법으로 증발산량을 측정하기 위해서 필요한 장비 중 수증기 농도를 측정하는 장비(개회로 기체분석기, 폐회로 기체분석기<수증기 농도를 측정하는 부분의 개폐여부에 따른 장비 구분>)에 대해 비교 측정을 수행하였으며, 관측 지점은 인위적인 관개가 이루어지고 있는 논경지(청미천 관측소)에서 수행하였다. 측정 자료에 대한 검토는 측정 장비에 따른 자료의 특성을 비교하기 위해 약 13,000개(9개월, 30분 간격) 자료를 활용하여 분석을 수행하였다. 그 결과 두 측정장비 모두 농도 변화에 따른 경향성은 유사하게 나타났으나, 측정 자료의 취득률에서는 차이(약 20%)를 보이는데, 이는 개회로 측정 장비의 경우 강우 및 안개 등의 기상상황에 따라 영향을 받기 때문으로 판단된다. 에디공분산 방법을 이용한 증발산량은 여러 기상자료를 이용하여 보정을 수행하기 때문에 측정 장비의 취득률로 인한 증발산량 산정에는 문제가 되지 않을 것으로 판단된다. 단 높은 관측률 및 측정 자료를 위해서는 폐회로 측정 장비를 이용하는 것이 유리할 것으로 판단된다.

Tolerances of aquatic plants (emergent plants) of cattail (Typha orientalis), water oats (Zizania latifolia), reed (Phragmites communis), and bulrush (Scirpus nipponicus) to salts and high NH₄/sup ＋/-N cone. of industrial wastewater were evaluated. Evapotranspiration of cattail and water oats plants was not affected when the wastewater containing 130 ppm NH₄/sup ＋/-N with electrical conductivity of 3.0 dS/m was supplied for 5 months. Shoot and root dry wt. of cattail and water oats were rather increased by irrigation of the wastewater while the biomass production of bulrush was greatly reduced. Storage nitrogen concentration in tissues of water oats and reed plants were higher than those in cattail and bulrush. Thus, water oats and reed plants were found to be the better aquatic plants to use in constructed wetlands for treating industrial wastewater of high salt and NH₄/sup ＋/-N.

Considering the severe regulation associated with sludge treatment such as direct landfill and ocean dumping, there is no doubt in that an advanced study for the proper treatment of sludge is urgently needed in near feature. As one of viable method for sludge treatment, fry-drying of sludge by waste oil has been investigated in this study. The fundamental mechanism of this drying method lies in the phenomenon of rapid moisture escape in the sludge pore toward oil media. This is caused by the severe pressure gradient formed by the rapid oil heating between sludge and oil. As part of research effort of fry-drying using waste oil, a series of basic study has been made experimentally to obtain typical drying curves as function of important parameters such as drying temperature, drying time, oil type and geometrical shape of sludge formed. Based on this study, a number of useful conclusion can be drawn as following. The fry-drying method by oil immersion was found quite effective in the removal efficiency of sludge moisture, in general, the moisture content decreases significantly after 10 minutes and the whole moisture content was less than 5% after 14 minutes regardless of the drying temperature. The increase of oil temperature up to 140$^{\circ}C$ favors significantly for the removal of moisture but there was no visible difference above 140$^{\circ}C$. As expected, the decrease of diameter in sludge was efficient in drying due to the increased surface area per unit volume. Further, the effect of oil property by the change of oil type was noted. To be specific, for the case of engine oil the efficiency was found to be remarkably delayed in moisture evaporation compared with that of vegetable oil due to the increased viscosity of engine oil. It produced a result of increasing the evaporation of moisture largely relatively high in the drying temperature over 140$^{\circ}C$ compared with the drying temperature 120$^{\circ}C$ drying temperature as the drying time passed. Accordingly, the drying temperature is considered desirable as keeping over 140$^{\circ}C$ regardless of a sort of used oil.

In this paper it is outlined the methodology of estimating the parameters of water balance analysis method for calculating recharge, using ground water level rises in monitoring well when values of specific yield of aquifer are not available. This methodology is applied for two monitoring wells of the case study area in northern area of the Jeiu Island. A water balance of soil layer of plant rooting zone is computed on a daily basis in the following manner. Diect runoff is estimated by using SCS method. Potential evapotranspiration calculated with Penman-Monteith equation is multiplied by crop coefficients($K_c$) and water stress coefficient to compute actual evapotranspiration(AET). Daily runoff and AET is subtracted from the rainfall plus the soil water storage of the previous day. Soil water remaining above soil water retention capacity(SWRC) is assumed to be recharge. Parameters such as the SCS curve number, SWRC and Kc are estimated from a linear relationship between water level rise and recharge for rainfall events. The upper threshold value of specific yield($n_m$) at the monitoring well location is derived from the relationship between rainfall and the resulting water level rise. The specific yield($n_c$) and the coefficient of determination ($R^2$) are calculated from a linear relationship between observed water level rise and calculated recharge for the different simulations. A set of parameter values with maximum value of $R^2$ is selected among parameter values with calculated specific yield($n_c$) less than the upper threshold value of specific yield($n_m$). Results applied for two monitoring wells show that the 81% of variance of the observed water level rises are explained by calculated recharge with the estimated parameters. It is shown that the data of groundwater level is useful in estimating the parameter of water balance analysis method for calculating recharge.

유역의 물안정성은 공공의 건강, 식량안전과 생태계 보호과 밀접한 연관이 있기에 그에 대한 관심사가 커지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 청색물발자국와 녹색물발자국 개념을 도입하여 물부족과 취약성을 지표로 한 한강의 물안정성을 평가하였다. SWAT모형을 적용하여 청색물 흐름, 녹색물 흐름, 녹색물 저류량을 계산하였다. 청색물은 유역의 물생성량와 지하수 저류량의 합으로 계산되고 녹색물은 실제 증발산량과 토양 수분 함유량의 합으로 계산되는데, 이러한 수문성분들은 SWAT 모형의 결과에서 얻을 수 있다. SWAT 모형은 SUFI-2 최적화 알고리즘을 이용하여 1990-2013년의 관측데이터에 대하여 보정 및 검증을 하였다. 계산결과 청색물의 시간적 분포는 강우패턴의 영향을 받고, 실제 증발산량인 월 녹색물의 흐름은 뚜렷한 계절 패턴을 보여주는 것으로 나타났다. 유역의 물안정성은 생활, 농업과 산업활동 등 인간활동의 물수요와 필요한 환경유지유량을 고려하여 산정하였다. 본 연구에서는 한강유역의 물부족과 취약성에 대한 시간적 변동성을 보여줌으로써 물자원 상황에 대한 이해도를 향상시키고 물 스트레스 기간을 제시하여 물자원의 계획과 관리를 개선 하고자 한다.
