The oxidizer-rich preburner's combustion tests were fulfilled in the development process of staged combustion cycle rocket engines. The exhaust plume from an oxidizer-rich preburner is relatively transparent because combustion takes place in oxidizer rich state. During hot fire tests a still and infrared images were captured to visualize the plume structure, temperature distribution and so on. In addition, the exhaust plume was numerically investigated to figure out the detailed characteristics. The combustion was not considered for the numerical modeling, but the mixing of exhaust plume with circumstantial air was modeled by species transport model with several turbulence models. The inner structure of plume was configured out by the comparison of numerical results with experimental results, and the validity of applied numerical models was verified.

Biplot is a useful graphical method to simultaneously explore the rows and columns of a two-way data matrix. In particular, principal component factor biplot is a graphical method to describe the interrelationship among many variables in terms of a few underlying but unobservable random variables called factors. If we consider the unobservable variables (which are mutually independent and also non-Gaussian), we can apply the independent component analysis decomposing a mixture of non-Gaussian in its independent components. In this case, if we apply the principal component factor analysis, we cannot clearly describe the interrelationship among many variables. Therefore, in this study, we apply the independent component analysis of Jutten and Herault (1991) decomposing a mixture of non-Gaussian in its independent components. We suggest an independent component biplot to interpret the independent component analysis graphically.

Parylene 코팅은 다결정인 고분자 유기물에 열을 가하여 기화시켜 진공상태에서 피사체를 코팅하는 것으로 마이크로 두께 단위의 유전체 증착하는 것이다. Parylene 코팅은 주로 Display를 비롯한 태양전지, 반도체 등에서 다양한 산업분야에서 이용되며, 이 때 외부로부터 침투하는 수분을 방지하고, 전기적 절연 및 불순물로부터 피사체를 보호하여 기계적인 안정성을 목적으로 사용된다. Display와 태양전지는 빛을 이용하는 분야로써 Parylene을 투과하여 들어오는 빛의 전달효율에 따른 영향이 크게 고려되어진다. 빛의 전달효율을 높이기 위해서는 Parylene의 높은 투명도가 중요한 요소로 작용한다. 본 연구에서는 Parylene 코팅 박막의 투명도 상승을 위해 증착 시 다양한 진공조건으로 실험을 진행하였다. Parylene 코팅 시, 진공도에 따른 투명도를 평가하기 위해 Substrate로는(100%)투과율을 가지는 재질의 glass를 이용하였다. Parylene 종류로는 반도체분야에 주로 이용되는 C-type의 Parylene Polymer 사용하였다. 증착 조건으로는 $7{\sim}8{\times}10^{-2}$ Torr, $4{\sim}6{\times}10^{-2}$ Torr, $2{\sim}3{\times}10^{-2}$ Torr의 각각 다른 진공 조건에서 120분간 증착시켜 Parylene 코팅막을 형성하였다. 또한 높은 투습방지력을 가짐과 동시에 고투명도 유지에 대해 신뢰성평가를 하기위해 각 조건별로 1회, 3회, 5회 반복 증착하였다. 제작된 각 시편의 투명도 측정을 위해 광도계(DX-100, TAKEMURA)를 이용하여 빛의 투과율을 관찰하였다. 그 결과 진공도 $2{\sim}3{\times}10^{-2}$ Torr, $4{\sim}6{\times}10^{-2}$ Torr, $7{\sim}8{\times}10^{-2}$ Torr순의 시편이 높은 투과율을 나타내었으며, 그 중 $2{\sim}3{\times}10^{-2}$ Torr의 1회 증착 한 시편이(97%)로 가장 높은 투과율을 나타내었다. 반대로 $7{\sim}8{\times}10^{-2}$ Torr의 5회 증착 한 시편이(78%)로 가장 낮은 투과율을 보였다. 따라서 진공도가 높을수록 투명도가 상승하며, 증착횟수가 늘어날수록 투명도가 감소하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구의 결과로 Parylene 코팅의 진공도에 따른 투명도를 평가함으로써 Parylene 코팅 증착조건 최적화를 위한 기초자료로 이용될 것이라 사료된다. 또한 후속 연구로써 substrate의 온도조절과 시료량의 조절이 이루어진다면 좀 더 효율적으로 최적화된 박막형성이 가능할 것이라 판단된다.

In this study, the electrochemical characteristics of Silicon/Carbon anode materials were analyzed to improve the cycle stability of silicon as an anode materials of lithium ion battery. Porous silicon was prepared from TEOS by the $st{\ddot{o}}ber$ method and the magnesiothermic reduction method. Silicon/Carbon anode materials were synthesized by varying the mass ratio between porous silicon and pitch. Physical properties of the prepared Silicon/Carbon anode materials were analyzed by XRD and TGA. Also the electrochemical performances of Silicon/Carbon anode materials were investigated by constant current charge/discharge, rate performance, cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance tests in the electrolyte of $LiPF_6$ dissolved in organic solvents (EC : DEC = 1 : 1 vol%). The Silicon/Carbon anode composite (silicon : carbon = 5 : 95 in weight) has better capacity (453 mAh/g) than those of other composition cells. The cycle performance has an excellent capacity retention from 2nd cycle to 30th cycle.

Fe powders with elongated and aggregated structure as heat pellet material for thermal battery applications were prepared by spray pyrolysis under various preparation conditions. The precursor powders with spherical shapes and hollow morphologies turned into Fe powders after reduction at a temperature of 615$^{\circ}C$ under 20% $H_2$/Ar gas. The powders had pure Fe crystal structures irrespective of the preparation conditions of the precursor powders in the spray pyrolysis. The morphologies and mean sizes of the Fe powders are affected by the preparation conditions of the precursor powders in the spray pyrolysis. Therefore, the ignition sensitivities and the burn rates of the heat pellets formed from the Fe powders prepared by spray pyrolysis are affected by the preparations of the precursor powders. The Fe powders prepared under the optimum preparation conditions have a BET surface area of 2.9 $m^2g^1$. The heat pellets prepared from the Fe powders with elongated and aggregated structure have a good ignition sensitivity of 1.1W and a high burn rate of 18 $cms^1$.

Humans are exposed to toxic element arsenic (As) from air, food and water The current study was performed to investigate the levels of arsenic in the internal organs (liver, kidney cortex, lung, cerebrum. abdominal muscle and abdominal skin) and to find out correlation with age and interrelationship between tissues in Korean human bodies who had lived in Seoul or Gyeonggi Province and Honam district. The tissues from 43 Korean cadavers were digested with microwave digestion system and arsenic was determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS). The mean recovery percentages of arsenic In liver were about 80％ and artenic concentrations in human tissues were almost uniform. The mean level of arsenic in internal tissues were at follow ; liver 44.556${\pm}$25.199 ppb, kidney cortex 42.652${\pm}$22.082 pub, lung 31.020 ${\pm}$ 17.504 ppb. cerebrum 35.703 ${\pm}$22.191 ppb, muscle 43.413${\pm}$26.619 ppb and skin 42.106${\pm}$25.8,11 ppb. No significant difference was found in the levels of arsenic between sexes. Meanwhile significant differences between districts where they had lived were found in all tissues tested. The levels of arsenic in the tissues of cadavers who had lived in Seoul Gyeonggi Province were higher than those of Honam district. In addition a positive correlation between As concentration and age was observed only in the cerebrum (p < 0.05). A significantly high correlations between tissues were observed in all tissues tested. This result also shows that the distribution of arsenic is uniform in internal tissues.

Due to the randomness of reservoir inflow and supply demand it is not easy to establish an optimal reservoir operation rule. However, the operation rule can be derived by the implicit stochastic optimization approach using synthetic inflow data with some demand satisfied. In this study the optimal reservoir operation which was reasonably formulated as Linear Tracking model for maximizing the hydro-energy of seven reservoirs system in the Han river was performed by use of the optimal control theory. Here the operation model made to satisfy the 2001st year demand in the capital area inputted the synthetic inflow data generated by multi-site Markov model. Based on the regressions and statistic analyses of the optimal operation results, monthly reservoir operation rules were developed with the seasonal probabilities of the reservoir stages. The comparatively larger dams which would have more controllability such as Hwacheon, Soyanggang, and Chungju had better regressions between the storages and outflows. The effectiveness of the rules was verified by the simulation during actually operating period.period.

Combustion characteristics of outdoor advertisement materials were evaluated for fire risk assessment about fire expanding. At this study, the flame retardancy and the limiting oxygen index (LOI) was measured by UL 94 and ASTM D 2863 respectively. At the result of flame retardancy, foamex was V-0 grade and those of others were out of grade. LOI measurement showed that the LOI of foamex was highest in the samples. The cone calorimeter test was done by ISO 5660-1 to find the combustion characteristics. The cone calorimeter test showed that the outdoor advertisement materials were not good to prevent of fire expanding. The time to ignition (TTI) of flex was the fastest and the peak heat release rate (PHRR) as well as the total heat release (THR) of acrylic panel was higher than those of others.
