Performance test of a full-scale turbopump assembly for a 75 ton class liquid rocket engine was carried out at full speed. Model fluid was used as a working medium: liquid nitrogen for the oxidizer pump, water for the fuel pump, and hot air for the turbine. The turbopump was operated stably, satisfying the performance requirements. Head coefficient and flow coefficient of the pumps remained constant at the speed-increasing period. In terms of performance characteristics of pumps and turbine, the results from the turbopump assembly test showed a good agreement with those from the turbopump component tests.

The spray characteristics according to the recess length of the GCSC injector and the change of momentum flux ratio(MFR) of the gas and the liquid have been examined through high pressure cold flow test using a high pressure chamber. The liquid in this experiment was water, and the gas was nitrogen. The spray images were taken by a back-lit strobe imaging technique. Results showed that the spray was a wide hollow cone at the lower MFR(liquid velocity was fixed) and the spray became a narrow solid cone as the MFR was increased. And the injector with short recess length produced a narrow solid cone at the higher MFR.

Abstract: In order to improve the system for biological nitrogen oxidizing process in sewage and wastewater, a bacterium having high abilities to oxidize of nitrogen was isolated from wastewater and polluted soils. The strain was identified to Bacillus sp. CH-N, based on the physiological and biochemical properties. Characteristics and oxidizing ability of both ammonia and nitrite were examined for the strain, Bacillus sp. CH-N. The strain showed the oxidizing rate about 80% to 90% on the sewage and wastewater after 48 h culture. The nitrogen oxidizing rate was increased in proportion to the initial concentration of glucose. The microorganism, Bacillus sp. CH-N cell immobilized on ceramic carrier were evaluated for the oxidation of ammonia in culture media.

In this paper case studies of artificial ground freezing, which have not been applied in Korea, have been investigated for the water cut-off in a subsea tunnel under high water pressure and the most commonly used cooling mediums of brine and liquid nitrogen are examined. Since sea water with pressure has the lower freezing point than pure water, the lower temperature cooling medium is required in the application of subsea tunnel. Also, the cooling medium must have refrigeration safety and is able to reduce executing time. Brine freezing system can reuse cooling medium and is safer than liquid nitrogen freezing. But it takes more time to freeze ground and needs complex circulation plants. On the other hand, liquid nitrogen freezing system can't recycle cooling medium and may cause breathing problems or asphyxiation through oxygen deficiency. But, freezing with liquid nitrogen is fast and requires simple refrigeration equipment. Principal elements of design for ground freezing in subsea tunnel have been extracted and these elements are needed further research.

싸움소(투우)는 1999년 문화관광부지정‘한국의 10대 지역문화 관광축제’로 선정되어, 청도군 투우대회가 한국을 대표하는 축제가 되었고, 상설투우장의 건설로 새로운 레져 산업으로 부상하고 있다. 그러나 싸움소 생산에 소요되는 유전인자 보존 및 생산기반은 전무한 실증이며, 본 연구는 청도군내 우수 종모우을 선별하여 정액채취 및 동결정액을 생산하여 군내 한우번식 농가에서 인공수정을 실시하고 계절별 수태율과 송아지의 성비를 조사하였다. 종모우 번개(나이6세, 체중850kg, 97, 98년 우승)와 사자(나이6세, 체중870kg 98, 99년 준우승) 2두로부터 일반적인 방법으로 인공질을 이용하여 1999년 10월에 정액을 채취하였다. 채취된 정액은 35$^{\circ}C$에서 3~5배정도로 희석하여 정자농도와 활력을 평가하였다. 희석정액은 90분간에 걸처 5$^{\circ}C$ 까지 냉각하면서 글리세롤을 첨가한 난황구염산나트륨액으로 여러번 나누어 희석하여 정자의 충격을 피하였다. 글리세롤평형 2시간 후 0.5$m\ell$스트로에 정자수가 3500만/스트로의 분주.봉인하여, 정액의 동결은 액체질소상에서 4~5cm 위에 스트로를 평행으로 놓아 액체질소 가스로 10~15분간 예비동결한 다음, -8$0^{\circ}C$의 초저온 냉장고에서 케니스터에 넣어 -196$^{\circ}C$ 액체질소에 보관하였다. 인공수정을 실시하고 40일 전후에 직장검사를 통해 임신율과 수태율을 조사하고 분만한 송아지의 성비를 기록하였다. 채취한 싸움소의 정액량은 번개와 사자가 각각 평균 4.6$m\ell$와 3.8$m\ell$이고, 동결전의 정자의 활력은 번개와 사자의 정액이 각각 70.3 vs 75.3%, 동결후의 활력은 37.3 vs 40.3%로 유의한 차이는 없었다. 번개와 사자의 동결정액으로 각각 44두와 127두를 인공 수정하였고, 40일 전후의 임신율은 26두 vs 80두(59.1 vs 63.0% )였으며, 수태율은 26두 vs 66두(59.1 vs 52.0% )로 이들간의 유의한 차이는 없었다. 번개와 사자의 수송아지의 성비는 각각 65.3 vs 42.4%로 유의한 차이가 있었다. 싸움소 정액 동결보존과 인공수정으로 싸움소 혈통을 가진 송아지가 생산되었다. 그러나 생산된 송아지가 싸움소의 능력을 가진 것을 선별하여 혈통을 고정시키고, 훈련으로 싸움소의 제질을 발굴하는 것이 앞으로의 연구과제이다.

Obtaining external forced convection heat transfer from bubble boiling and validating it with experimental results using cryogenic liquids are suggested to derive total heat transfer coefficient with pool boiling condition in the case of coil type heat exchanger with a bundle of tubes and to overcome the limitation of using the empirical correlation. Experiment is conducted with pool boiling heat transfer of saturate liquid nitrogen with helical coil type heat exchanger using liquid oxygen as hot stream fluid. Experimentally measured heat transfer coefficient is well-agreed with the estimated curve considering nucleate boiling and forced convection induced by bubble rise.

The characteristics of a gas-liquid Taylor (slug) flow in a square micro-channel with dimensions of $600{\mu}m{\times}600{\mu}m$ are experimentally investigated in this paper. The test fluids were nitrogen and water. The superficial velocities of the liquid and gas were in the ranges of 0.01 - 3 m/s and 0.1 - 3 m/s, respectively. The bubble and liquid slug lengths, bubble velocities, and bubble frequencies for various inlet conditions were measured by analyzing optical images obtained with a high-speed camera. It was found that the measured values (bubble and liquid slug lengths, bubble velocities) were not in good agreement with the values obtained using empirical models presented in the existing literature. Modified models for the bubble and liquid slug lengths and bubble velocity are suggested and shown to be in good agreement (${\pm}20$) with the measured values. Moreover, the bubble frequency could be predicted well by the relationship between the unit cell length and its velocity.

To study the effect of freezing rate on the duality of frozen abalone(Haliotis gigantea, GMELIN) liquid nitrogen spray freezing, air blast freezing, semi-air blast freezing, and still air freezing were carried out. The rheological change, protein denaturation, and free water content of frozen and thawed abalone were examined at the period of 0, 1, 2, and 3 month during cold Storage at $-20^{\circ}C$. The results are summarized as follows : 1. The onset and duration of rigor mortis of fresh abalone was faster and shorter as compared to that of fishes. 2. There was no difference in compression value and shear value between freezing methods but they varied with a slight decrease in storage period. 3. Gradual decrease in extractibility of salt soluble protein was observed in all samples except those frozen with liquid nitrogen. 4. The free water of the foot muscle remained constant during the storage while that of the adductor muscle tended to increase. 5. A significant correlation was observed among the changes of panel texture and free water (P< 0.01), protein denaturation (P<0.05), and compression value (P<0.01).

Basic informations for direct somatic embryo formation in Rehmannja glutinosa Lib. were obtained in 500ml erlenmyer flask. The ratio of ammonium to nitrate nitrogen of 825(mg/l) : 1900(mg/l) was proper condition for somatic embryo formation from stem and petiole explants and 3% sucrose was the most effective carbon source. Full strength MS medium with 2mg/l BA was better than LS medium for somatic embryogenesis. The initial pH 5.7 of medium(full strength MS with 2.0mg/l BA and 0.1mg/l NAA) was good for embryo production. Potassium ion was taken up rapidly within 2 weeks. while $Ca^{++}$ and $Mg^{++}$ ion contents were almost constant during culture period. Sucrose hydrolysis occurred throughout the culture, while glucose and fructose were absorbed simultaneously from the third week of culture.

It is well known that $CO_2$ can be dissolved easily in imidazolium-based room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs). Because of the high $CO_2$ solubility in RTILs, membranes containing RTILs can separate easily gas mixtures such as $CO_2/N_2$ and $CO_2/CH_4$. In this study, we prepared poly(vinylidene fluoride)-hexafluoropropyl copolymer (PVDF-HFP) gel membranes with several RTILs and measured permeabilities of several gases. When the anion of ionic liquids was tetrafluoroborate($BF{_4}^-$), both $CO_2$ permeability and selectivities decreased as the carbon number of the cation increased. When the cation of ionic liquids was 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium[emim], $CO_2$ permeability of gel membranes containing bis(trifluoromethane) sulfoneimide($Tf_2N^-$) anion was double compared to those containing tetrafluoroborate($BF{_4}^-$) anion. However, $CO_2/N_2$ and $CO_2/CH_4$ selectivities of the $Tf_2N^-$ case were decreased, whereas the $H_2$ selectivity was almost the same for two cases.
