Gas hydrate studies are attracting attention of many researchers as an innovative, economic and environmentally friendly technology when it is applied to $CO_2$ capture, transport, and storage. In this study, we investigated whether $CO_2$ hydrate shows the self-preservation effect or not, that is the key property for developing a novel $CO_2$ transport/storage method. Especially the degree of self-preservation effect for $CO_2$ hydrate was studied according to the particle size of $CO_2$ hydrate samples. We prepared three kinds of $CO_2$ hydrate samples varying their particle diameter as millimeter, micron and nano size and measured their change of weight at $-15{\sim}-30^{\circ}C$ under atmospheric pressure during 3 weeks. According to our experimental result, the lower temperature, larger particle size, and compact structure for higher density are the better conditions for obtaining self-preservation effect.

최근 세계적으로 환경 규제가 강화되면서 수송기계 산업 등의 경량화 소재 개발이 관심을 모으고 있다. 특히 금속재료 중 밀도가 낮고, 비강도 기계적 가공성이 우수한 마그네슘은 경량소재로써 많은 각광을 받고 있다. 그러나 상업적으로 널리 사용되는 Mg-Al계 합금은 $Mg_{17}Al_{12}$상이 형성되어 고온 기계적 특성이 저하된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 마그네슘의 강도 개선을 위한 원소로써 고용강화 원소로 많이 쓰이는 Zn와 고온에서 안정한 $Mg_2Sn$이 형성되는 Sn을 첨가한 Mg-Zn-Sn합금을 선택하여 시효온도에 따른 기계적 특성과 석출물을 관찰하였다. 실험 이전에 열역학적 분석을 바탕으로 Mg-Zn-Sn합금의 Zn함량 변화에 따른 상태도 계산 및 석출량 변화와 석출온도를 도출하였다. 도출된 석출온도를 바탕으로 Mg-Zn-Sn합금을 용체화 처리하고 시효시간에 따른 경도 변화와 미세구조를 관찰하였다. 또한 기계적 특성을 평가하기 위해 인장시험을 실시하였고 XRD, 주사전자현미경을 이용하여 석출상을 확인하였다.

Temperature-dependent current-voltage characteristics of Organic Light-Emitting Diodes(OLEDs) were studied. The OLEDs were based on the molecular compounds, N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-bis(3- methylrhenyi)-1,1'-diphenyl-4,4'-diamine (TPD) as a hole transport and tris(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum(Alq3) as an electron transport and emissive material. The current-voltage characteristics were measured in the temperature range of 10[K] and 300[K]. A conduction mechanism in OLEDs was interpreted in terms of tunneling and trap-filled limited current.

A project is being implemented to develop the long distance energy transport technology using the chemical reactions. This project can be classified into three main research categories covering heat recovery reaction, long distance energy transport, and heat generation reaction. In this study, the methanol is selected as a system material since it shows several unique superior characteristics as follows: gaseous state of reactant and product, large heat of reaction, high yields of reaction at relatively low temperature, and also steady and economical supply. Furthermore, it is anticipated that the outcomes of this study can be widely applied to the related industries. A feasibility study was carried out to evaluate the economics of this technology which study was based on the following case: 10,000 households, 15km distance energy transportation, utilization of waste heat from power plant.

The present study was carried out to investigate in vitro development and post-thawed survivability of bovine embryos according to different ovary transport temperatures. Bovine ovaries were collected at a local slaughterhouse and were transported at 4 different temperature categories to laboratory: $7{\sim}10^{\circ}C\;(T1),\;11{\sim}17^{\circ}C\;(T2),\;18{\sim}25^{\circ}C\;(T3)$ and above $26^{\circ}C$ (control group). The cumulus-oocyte-complexes aspirated from ovaries were in vitro matured, fertilized and cultured. The rates of maturation (to metaphase II), cleavage and development to blastocysts were compared among treatment groups. Furthermore, frozen-thawed blastocysts were in vitro cultured to compare the survivability among groups. The maturation rates in the T1, T2 and T3 groups ($60.0{\sim}68.2%$) were significantly lower than that in the control group (81.8%, p<0.05). The cleavage rates in the T1 and T2 groups (52.6 and 54.5%) were significantly lower than that in the control group (83.6%, p<0.05). However, there was no difference in the development rate to blastocysts among all groups ($27.9{\sim}33.0%$, p>0.05). The survivability of frozen-thawed embryos was significantly lower in the T1 group (46.2%) than those in the T2, T3 and control groups ($68.8{\sim}7.13%$, p<0.05). In conclusion, the results suggest that ovary transport temperature at $26^{\circ}C$ may be optimal for the better in vitro development and the survival of frozen-thawed embryos produced in vitro Furthermore, exposure of ovary to temperature below $10^{\circ}C$ during transport may significantly decrease both in vitro development and survivability of frozen-thawed blastocysts.

A plane buoyant jet discharged vertically upward into a crossflow is analyzed by numerical solution of the governing equations of continuity, momentum and constituent transport. The turbulent transport is modelled by the Prandtl's mixing length theory. In the numerical solution procedure, the governing equations are transformed by stream function and vorticity transport, non-dimensionalyzed by discharge velocity, slot width, and parameters representing flow characteristics, and solved by Gauss-Seidel iteration method with successive underrelaxation. The numerical experiments were performed for the region of established flow of buoyant jet in the range of discharge densimetric Froude number of 4 to 32 and in the range of velocity ratio of 8 to 15, which is the ratio of discharge velocity to crossflow velocity. Variations of velocities and temperatures, flow patterns and vorticity patterns of receiving water due to buoyant jet were investigated. Also investigated are the effects of velocity ratio and discharge densimetric Froude number on the trajectories of buoyant jet. Computed are velocities, temperatures and local densimetric Froude numbers along the trajectory of the buoyant jet. Spreading rate and dispersion ratio were analyzed in terms of discharge densimetric Froude number, local densimetric Froude number and distance from the source along the jet trajectory. It was noted that the similarity law holds in both the profiles of velocity and temperatures across the jet trajectory and the integral type analysis of Gaussian distribution is applicable.

The improvement of distribution system and freshness prolongation of crisphead lettuce were carried out through vacuum cooling and distribution under the low temperature. Lettuce that vacuum-cooled and transported by cold storage car was shown better freshness than that distributed by conventional method when they arrived at cunsuming area. And it took $10{\sim}17$ hours until their temperatures arrived at same temperatures when they were stored at $0{\sim}15^{\circ}C$ cold storage room. It was cooled to $1^{\circ}C$ after 27 minutes with vacuum cooling apparatus. The weight loss of lettuce that vacuum cooled and transported by cold storage car was below 5% after 30 days cold storage. And ascorbic acid and chlorophyll retentions were 86% and 52%, respectively. The shelf-life of crisphead lettuce, distributed by vacuum cooling and cold storage car transportation, was 5 days at $15^{\circ}C$ and over 40 days at $0^{\circ}C$, respectively. However, when it was distributed by conventional method, it was only 3 days at $15^{\circ}C$ and 20 days at $0^{\circ}C$, respectively.
