In this study, column diffusion tests for Cd and Zn were conducted at $15^{\circ}C$ and $55^{\circ}C$ to investigate a temperature effect on effective diffusion coefficient. An increase in temperature from $15^{\circ}C$ to $55^{\circ}C$ caused up to ten times larger diffusion coefficient for each heavy metal. Besides, it caused the increased retardation of heavy metals, and hence the effective diffusion coefficient should be overestimated as we use an overestimated retardation factor to calibrate the coefficient. The results of sequential extraction analyses showed that Zn was occluded in carbonate phase and this trend was getting prominent with the increase in temperature. As for Cd, it was partitioned mainly in the exchangeable phase(over 60%) at any temperature.

In order to purify 2-methylnaphthalene as main impurity included in naphthalene, SLE (solid-liquid equilibria) on two components system including naphthalene and 2-methylnaphthalene were measured and a layered melt crystallization has been studied. SLE in the present system is shown a simple eutectic mixture and the experimental results using DSC method is similar to the static method. Purity and yield of naphthalene in crystal depended mainly on the cooling rate: Increasing cooling rate, the purity of naphthalene in crystal increase, whereas the yield of that decrease. The effective distribution coefficient (Keff) as the degree of impurity removal was observed to decrease with decreasing of cooling rate. Therefore, the purity of naphthalene by melt crystallization can be enhanced to 5~7 %.

본 논문에서는 선로 전력조류제약을 고려한 경제급전(SCED : Security-Constrained economic dispatch)에 내점 선형계획법을 이용하여 최적해를 구하는 문제를 다룬다. 최적전력조류(Optimal Power Flow)식으로부터 선로의 유효전력만을 근사화하여 선로 전력조류 제약을 고려할 경제급전(SCED)의 식을 정식화한다. 선형계획법을 적용하여 최적해를 구하기 위해서 발전기출력과 유효전력, 부하, 손실과의 관계를 이용하여 경제급전의 식을 선형화 하는 알고리즘을 제시한다. 선형화 알고리즘은 목적함수로 계통 발전기의 총 연료비를 취하고 전력수급평형식으로 발전기출력증분에 대한 선로의 증분손실계수를 이용하며, 선로의 제약조건은 일반화발전 분배계수(GGDF : Generalized Generation Distribution Factor)를 이용하여 선형화한다. 최적화 기법으로서 내점법(Interior Point Method)을 적용하고자 하며 사례연구를 통하여 선형계획법 중 가장 많이 사용하는 심플렉스(Simplex)법과의 수렴특성을 비교하여 내점 법의 효용성을 확인하고자 한다.

Structural analysis models to develop live load distribution factors of simply supported prestressed concrete I-girder bridge should have the precision of the analysis results as well as modeling simplicity. This is due to the numerous frequency of structural analysis needed while developing live load distribution factors. In this study, an appropriate structural analysis model is selected by comparing previous researchs studies and models used in practical design. Also, the influence by the flexural stiffness of barrier and diaphragm on the live load distribution had been analyzed through comparing the numerical analysis and experimental tests. As a result, the model that the eccentric girder and the barrier and diaphragm are connected to the deck plate was appropriate in satisfying both accuracy and simplicity for structural analysis of simply supported prestressed concrete I-girder bridge. However, the barrier was analyzed to have insignificant influence on the live load distribution in spite of its variation of stiffness. The eccentric diaphragm showed little influence at 25% or higher of flexural stiffness. From the results, a model that the girder is rigidly connected to the deck plate in consideration of the eccentricity, the barrier is ignored and the whole section of diaphragm is supposed to be valid without eccentricity is decided as the most appropriate structural model to develop the live load distribution factors of simply supported prestressed concrete I-girder bridge in this study.

Twelve reinforced concrete continuous deep beams having web openings within interior shear spans were tested to failure. All beams tested had the same geometrical dimensions. The main variables investigated were the opening size and amount of inclined reinforcement around openings. An effective inclined reinforcement factor combining the influence of the opening size and amount of inclined reinforcement on the structural behavior of the beams tested is proposed. It was observed that the load distribution, diagonal crack width, and load capacity of beams tested were greatly dependent on the effective inclined reinforcement factor which ranged from 0 to 0.171 for the test specimens. The higher this factor, the smaller the diagonal crack width and its development rate. A higher load capacity also developed in beams having effective inclined reinforcement factor above 0.077 than in the corresponding solid deep beams. A numerical technique based on the upper bound analysis of the plasticity theory is proposed to evaluate the load capacity of continuous deep beams having openings within interior shear spans. Predictions obtained from the proposed formulas are in good agreement with test results.

In order to purify diethylene glycol as main impurity included in p-dioxanone, SLE (solid-liquid equilibria) and mixture density on two components system of p-dioxanone and diethylene glycol were measured and a layered melt crystallization with seed has been applied. The SLE of p-dioxanone and diethylene glycol were a simple eutectic system and the temperature and PDX concentration at eutectic point were 0.08 and 246 K, respectively. Densities of their binary mixtures were well fitted by the best correlation equation, ${\rho}_l=0.405+1.361x+0.002T-0.004xT$. In the melt crystallization, the growth rate (G) was proportional to the 1.5th power of the subcooling degree. The effective distribution coefficient ($K_{eff}$) as the degree of impurity removal was observed to increase with increasing the growth rate and initial p-dioxanone concentration. And also, $K_{eff}$ was correlated with Z function using Wintermantel's model such as $K_{eef}=-0.0604+6.392{\times}Z$. Finally, PDX purity through the optimization of this process can be obtained over 99%.

As a basic research fur the separation of effective components included in pyrolysis gas oil, the crystallization on each system of naphthalene with 2-methylnaphthalene, indene and 1-methylnaphthalene as impurity has been carried out in column and cold-finger type crystallizer, respectively. In crystallization operation, the purity of naphthalene has been a tendency of increase with decreasing of cooling rate and in the presence of impurity with lower melting point. In comparison of crystallizer types, naphthalene purity in column type crystallizer was a higher value than that in cold-finger type due to effective sweating operation after crystallization.

In this study, estimation of nonlinear adsorption isotherms(Langmuir & Freundlich adsorption isotherm) and advection-dispersion model parameters was conducted using genetic algorithm(GA) for Zn and Cd adsorption. Estimated parameters of nonlinear adsorption isotherms, which were obtained from the optimization process using genetic algorithm(GA), are nearly same with the parameters obtained from a linearization process of the nonlinear isotherms. Estimated effective diffusion coefficients, which were obtained from a finite element analysis of the advection-dispersion model and an optimization procedure using the genetic algorithm, for the metals were approximately in the order of $10^{-7}cm^2/s$ which could be obtained based on the linear distribution coefficient. The effective diffusion coefficients based on the nonlinear retardation factors were in the range of $10^{-6}{\sim}10^{-5}cm^2/s$. As a result, the correlation coefficient obtained between the measured and calculated concentration was over 0.9 which means that the genetic algorithm should be successfully applied to estimate the unknown parameters of the nonlinear adsorption isotherms and advection-dispersion model.

The crude methylnaphthalene oil (CMNO) contains nitrogen compounds (NCs) such as quinoline (QU), isoquinoline (IQU), and indole (IN). These NCs in the CMNO are treated as impurities contained in the CMNO due to contamination of the atmospheric environment and unpleasant odors. In order to improve the quality of CMNO, this study examined the effect of extraction experimental factors on the reduction of NCs contained in CMNO using CMNO as a raw material and an aqueous formamide solution as a solvent, respectively. The increase in the volume ratio of solvent to feed in initial (S/F)₀ in initial increased the distribution coefficient of NCs and the selectivity of NCs in reference to 2-methylnaphthalene (2MNA). Additionally, an increase in operating temperature (T) increased the distribution coefficient of NCs but conversely decreased selectivity. The compositions of QU, IQU, and IN in the raffinate oil recovered through equilibrium extraction under a constant condition (volume fraction of water to solvent in initial (y_w,0) = 0.1, (S/F)₀ = 9, T = 303 K, liquid-liquid contacting time = 72 h) were reduced by about 58.5 wt%, 61.9 wt%, and 73.4 wt%, respectively, compared to those of CMNO. The formamide extraction method in this study was expected to be an effective reduction method for NCs contained in CMNO.
