Optimal sludge recycling ratio for maximum total nitrogen(TN) removal efficiency was calculated stoichiometrically using nitrification and denitrification reaction with given influent water qualities in anoxic-oxic process which was one of the popular nitrogen removal system. The water quality items for stoichiometric calculation were ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, alkalinity, COD, and dissolved oxygen which could affect nitrification and denitrification. Optimal sludge recycling ratio for maximum TN removal efficiency was expressed by those five influent water qualities. TN concentration calculated stoichiometrically had kept good relationship with reported TN concentration in each tank and final effluent. In addition, it was possible to expect the TN concentration in final effluent by stoichiometric calculation within ${\pm}5.0\;mg/L$.

The present study proposes the modified-stoichiometric model for describing hydration of sodium silicate-based alkaliactivated slag(AAS), and compares the results with the thermodynamic modelling-based calculations. The proposed model is based on Chen and Brouwers(2007a) model with updated database as reported in recent studies. In addition, the calculated results for AAS are compared to those for hydrated portland cement. The maximum difference between the proposed model and the thermodynamic calculation for AAS was at most 20%, and the effects of water-to-binder ratio and activator dosages were identically described by both approaches. In particular, the amount of non-evaporable water was within 10% difference, and was in excellent agreement with the experimental results. Nevertheless, notable deviation was observed for the chemical shrinkage, which is largely dependent on the volume of hydrates and pores.

High energetic materials (HEMs) have been used in fuels, civil engineering and architecture as well as military purposes such as explosives and propellants. The essential process for the development of new energetic compounds is to accurately calculate its detonation performances. The most typical equation for calculating the explosive performance is the Kamlet-Jacobs (K-J) equation. In the K-J equation, the parameter such as the number of moles of gaseous products at the explosion, the average molar mass of gas products, and the explosion heat greatly affect the explosion performance. These depend on the product composition for the detonation reaction. In this study, detonation products of 65 high energetic molecules (HEMs) were calculated from the various rules such as Kamlet-Jacobs, Kistiakowsky-Wilson, modified Kistiakowsky-Wilson, Springall-Roberts rules to calculate more accurate detonation velocity (Dv). In addition, they were applied to five kinds of detonation velocity equations proposed by K-J, Rothstein, Xiong, Stine and Keshavarz. The mean absolute error and root mean square error of HEMs were obtained from experimental and calculated velocity value for each method. The K-J and Xiong equation that is slightly complex showed a lower mean absolute error than the simple Rothstein and Keshavarz equation. When the mod-KW rule was applied to the Xiong equation, the detonation velocities were the most accurate. This study compared the various method of calculating the detonation velocity of HEMs to obtain accurate HEMs performance.

The x or $x^0+x'$ values of the nonstoichiometric chemical formula $TiO_{2-x}$ or $Ti_{2-(x^0+x')}$ have been measured by a specially made magnetic quartz microbalance in a temperature range from 600 to $1300^{\circ}C$ under oxygen pressures of $1{\times}10^{-6} to 1 atm. The standard x or $x^0$ value of the rutile is 0.00148. The x values $under_xoxygen$ pressure of 1 atm decrease with temperatures and then the stoichiometric rutile (or x = 0) is formed at $1130^{\circ}C$. The x values varied between 0.00148 and 0.01719 at a temperature range from 600 to $1300^{\circ}C$ under $1{\times}10^{-9}{\sim}1{\times}10^{-2}$ atm oxygen pressures. The enthalpies of formation of the nonstoichiometric rutile, $H_f$, varied between 21.05 and 29.97 Kcal/mole under the above conditions. The 1/n values calculated from the plots of log X' vs. log $Po_2$ are -{\frac{1}{2}}{\sim}-{\frac{1}{4}} under low oxygen pressure range of $1{\times}10^{-6}\;to\;1{\times}10^{-4}$ atm. Many physical properties of the titanium dioxide, such as the stability of the rutile, Electrical conductivity, catalytic activity and defects, can be explained through the x values and the thermodynamic data calculated from the temperature and oxygen pressure dependences of the x' values.

This paper reports on a thermodynamic analysis for the GaN thick film growth by vapor phaseepitaxy method. The thermodynamic calculation was performed using a chemical stoichiometric algorism. Thesimulation variables include the growth temperature in a range 400~1500 K, the gas ratios $(GaCl_3)/(GaCl_3+NH_3)$and $(N_2)/(GaCl_3+NH_3)$. The theoretical calculation predicts that the growth temperature of GaN be in thelower range of 450~750 K than the experimental results. The difference in the growth temperature betweenthe simulation and the experiments indicates that the vapor phase epitaxy of GaN is kinetically limited,presumably, due to the high activation energy of thin film growth.

Nonstoichiometric solid solutions of $Y_{1-x}A_xFeO_{3-y}$ (A = Ca, Sr) systems with perovskite structure were prepared for x = 0.00, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1.00 at 1200$^{\circ}C$ under atmospheric pressure, respectively. Crystallographic structures of the solid solutions of all compositions have been determined by the analysis of X-ray diffraction patterns. Reduced lattice volume of the $Y_{1-x}Ca_xFeO_{3-y}$ system was decreased with increasing x value and that of the $Y_{1-x}Sr_xFeO_{3-y}$ system was increased with increasing the x value. The mole ratios of $ Fe^{4+}$ to $ Fe^{3+}$, ${\tau}$, values in the solid solutions have been determined by Mohr salt's method of analysis and then the mixed valency was identified by Mossbauer spectroscopic analysis at 298 K. The y values were calculated from the x and ${\tau}$, and then nonstoichiometric chemical formulas were fixed. The conduction mechanism could be explained by hopping model of the conduction electrons between the mixed valence states.

Detonation limit is one of the major physical properties used to determine the fire and explosion hazards of the flammable substances. In this study, the lower detonation limits (LDL) and the upper detonation limits (UDL) of the flammable substances predicted with the appropriate use of the heat of combustion and the stoichiometric coefficient. The values calculated by the proposed equations were a good agreement with literature data within a few percent. From a given results, It is to be hoped that this methodology will contribute to the estimation of the detonation limits of for other flammable substances.

PWR 정지시 일차계통 수화학 제어의 주요대상은 계통표면에 침적된 부식생성물의 주성분인 비화학양론적 니켈(코발트)페라이트로서, 산성-환원 단계에서 용존수소에 의해 Ni$^{\circ}$ (또는 Co$^{\circ}$)로 환원되고 산성-산화 단계에서 용존산소에 의해 Ni$^{2+}$ (또는 CO$^{2+}$)로 산화되어 이온교환기에 의해 제거된다 본 연구에서는, 니켈 및 코발트 산화물의 25~300 $^{\circ}C$ 환원 또는 산화반응 시 표준자유에너지의 변화 및 용존수소 또는 용존산소의 요구농도를 계산하여, 원자로 정지시 일차계통수 용존 기체의 제어조건을 고찰하였다. 산성-환원 단계의 냉각재 온도인 300~82$^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 용존수소가 충분할 경우 열역학적으로 $^{58}$ Co(또는 $^{60}$Co)Fe$_2$O$_4$$\longrightarrow$Co의 역반응이 억제되므로서 노심외 계통부위 침적이 감소될 수 있기 때문에, 용존수소를 온도에 따라 요구농도 곡선 위로 약간 높게 유지하는 것보다 25~50 cc/kg-$H_2O$로 유지하는 방식이 바람직한 반면, 용존산소를 제공하는 과산화수소 농도가) 2.7 ppm일 때 NiFe$_2$O$_4$$\longrightarrow$Ni$_2$O$_4$(+$\alpha$-Fe$_2$O$_3$) 반응이 일어날 수 있기 때문에, 산성-산화 단계에서는 과산화수소의 냉각재 농도를 이보다 낮게 유지하는 것이 바람직하다.

우리 국민에게 2000년은 야누스의 두 얼굴로 다가오고 있다. 새로운 천년에 대한 희망의 얼굴과, 세기말 대재양론에 Y2K문제까지 가세하여 불안함을 감추지 못하는 절망의 얼굴이다. 일부 종교단체나 예언가들은 Y2K문제로 인해 지구의 종말이 온다고 믿고서 피난처를 만들고 있으며 인터넷망 등을 이용, 지지세력의 확장을 꾀하고 있다. 그러나 우리는 이에 편승하여 인류의 미래를 이들에게 맡길 것이 아니라, Y2K문제의 실상을 정확히 이해하고 지혜로운 대처를 위해 모든 역량을 결집해야 할 것이다. Y2K문제는 개인용 컴퓨터에서부터 금융, 통신, 전력, 행정전산망 등 국가산업 전반에 영향을 미칠 뿐 아니라 모든 국민의 생활과 직결되는 문제이기 때문이다. 특히 안전성이 생명인 원자력 발전소에서의 Y2K문제는 모든 국민과 언론의 집중적인 관심의 대상이 되고 있다. 이 같은 관심과 우려의 표명은 원전의 특성을 고려할 때 당연한 현상이지만, 2000년이 되면 원전이 불시에 정지되고 큰 사고가 발생할 것이라는 일부의 시각은 국민의 불안만 가중시킬 뿐이다. 결론부터 말하자면 이러한 우려는 기우에 불과하다. 예를 들면 은행 전산망에서 이자를 계산할 때는 날짜가 필수적이다. 그러나 일반 산업 자동화 설비와 마찬가지로 24시간 연속 가동되는 원자력발전소를 운전 할 때는 미리 일정한 값으로 입력된 각종 운전자료, 즉 온도, 압력, 유량 등과 매순간 생성되는 운전자료들을 단순 비교하기 때문에 날짜가 필요치 않다. 이는 마치 실내 난방온도를 일정 값으로 미리 정해놓으면, 그때 그때의 실내온도와 미리 정해진 온도를 비교하여 난방기가 자동으로 작동되는 방식과 같다. 따라서 운전과 직접 관련되는 설비는 Y2K와 관련이 없고, 운전 편의를 위한 데이터취득설비 일부와 방사능 계측 등의 측정장비에 Y2K영향이 있다. 한전에서는 이들 문제의 적시 해결을 위해 충분한 예산과 인력을 확보하여 문제를 해결하는 과정에 있으며 3월 현재 약 70$\%$의 공정을 보이고 있다.
