대기압 저온 플라즈마는 간단한 구조 및 제작, 쉬운 조작성, 낮은 온도 특성, 높은 화학적 반응성과 같은 많은 장점에도 불구하고, 플라즈마의 에너지가 낮아 다양한 산업적 응용에 제약을 받아왔다. 이러한 단점을 극복하기 위해서 대기압에서 저온 플라즈마의 에너지를 높이는 여러 시도가 있었으며, 그 중 가까이 인접해 있는 둘 이상의 플라즈마 젯들의 결합 현상(plasma jet-to-jet coupling)을 이용하여 플라즈마 강도를 높이려는 시도가 보고되었다. 본 연구에서는 플라즈마를 발생시키는 유리관을 서로 모아 벌집모양의 배열을 갖는 플라즈마 젯 어레이 장치를 만들어 플라즈마 젯 사이에 상호결합을 유도하여 강한 플라즈마 발광을 발생시켰다. 플라즈마 젯 어레이 장치 중 가운데 위치한 플라즈마 젯은 대기압 플라즈마 젯의 형태를 구현하는 역할을 하고, 가운데를 둘러싼 주변의 여러 플라즈마 젯들은 중앙의 플라즈마 젯에 많은 하전입자를 제공하여 플라즈마 젯의 발광강도를 높이는 역할을 하는 것을 확인했다. 헬륨기체를 사용한 이 플라즈마 젯은 $100^{\circ}C$ 이하의 온도임에도 불구하고 ITO 유리의 유리면을 식각할 만큼 높은 에너지를 가졌다. 이러한 대기압 저온플라즈마 장치에서 플라즈마의 강도를 더 높이기 위해서는 플라즈마 젯 간 결합이 더 많이 일어나는 것이 중요하므로, 이를 위해 주변의 플라즈마 젯의 개수를 높이는 시도를 하였다. 플라즈마 젯 어레이 소자의 중심에 위치한 유리관의 크기를 크게 하고, 주변부의 유리관의 크기를 상대적으로 작게 하여 벌집형태의 배열보다 더 많은 유리관을 주변부에 위치시킨 후 플라즈마를 발생시키고 전기 광학적 특성을 측정하였다. 그 결과, 실험조건에 따라 가운데 플라즈마 젯에서 3배에서 5배 이상 높은 플라즈마의 발광강도를 얻었으며, 플라즈마 젯도 더 안정적으로 발생하였다. 주변부의 유리관의 개수가 증가하면 더 많은 양의 하전 입자들이 플라즈마 결합 과정에 참여하게 되고 결과적으로 더 큰 플라즈마의 발광강도를 나타내는 것이다. 본 실험은 하전입자의 상호작용에 의해 발생하는 서로 인접한 플라즈마 젯 간의 결합이 대기압 저온 플라즈마 젯의 플라즈마 발광강도를 높이는 좋은 방법임을 보였다. 이러한 플라즈마 젯 간의 결합은 대기압 저온 플라즈마의 에너지를 높일 수 있는 쉽고 간단한 방법이며, 이 방법을 이용하여 대기압 저온 플라즈마를 표면처리, 표면개질은 물론, 식각 및 증착, 나아가서는 의료/바이오 분석 기술 등 다양한 학문적, 산업적 응용에도 적용할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

A micro particle manipulator, which is devised for trapping particles at fixed positions by negative dielectrophoretic force (DEP force), has been fabricated and experimented. It is composed of square type electrode arrays fabricated by nickel electroplating with the height of 28 ${\mu}m$. To improve the quality of electroplated nickel electrodes, plating conditions have been optimized. Micro particles used in this study are polystyrene spheres and their to the specific position and trapped. The DEP force along the moving path of the particles has been estimated by the motion equation of a single particle. The displacement of a particle with an elapsed time was measured using a high-speed camera (1000 frames/sec). The velocity and acceleration of the particle were calculated from the measured data. The DEP force acting on the particle was estimated.

Using the new experimental method named "filtration-permeation", the average specific resistances which plays an important role in designing cake filtration apparatus and the development of cake filtration theory were measured in this study. By this new experimental method, two kinds of average specific resistances are measured. The one from the filtration is named 'filtration average specific resistance $\alpha_{avf}$, and the other from the permeation of particle eliminated water through the pre-formed cake is named 'permeation average specific resistance $\alpha_{avf}$. The "filtration-permeation" method is applied to three different kind of suspensions(i.e. particulate suspension, pre-flocculated suspension and macro-molecule suspension) to obtain filtration and permeation average specific resistances. A theoretical procedure of cake filtration is studied based on the values of permeation average specific resistance. With the study it was concluded that the influence of the sedimentation during particlulate filtration operation could not be ignored as commonly used. And the solid content of suspension, S, which also regarded usually as constant, changes during filtration of particles. It is also verified that the exact value of solid content of cake for floe filtration could not be obtained. These significant problems are all solved by our new "filtration-permeation" experimental method.

In the past decade, we have observed rapid advances in the development of biochips in many fields including medical and environmental monitoring. Biochip experiments involve immobilizing a ligand on a solid substrate surface, and monitoring its interaction with an analyte in a sample solution. Metal nanoparticles can display extinction bands on their surfaces. These charge density oscillations are simply known as the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR). The high sensitivity of LSPR has been utilized to design biochips for the label-free detection of biomolecular interactions with various ligands. LSPR-based optical biochips and biosensors are easy to fabricate, and the apparatus cost for the evaluation of optical characteristics is lower than that for the conventional surface plasmon resonance apparatus. Furthermore, the operation procedure has become more convenient as it does not require labeling procedure. In this paper, we review the recent advances in LSPR research and also describe the LSPR-based optical biosensor constructed with a core-shell dielectric nanoparticle biochip for its application to label-free biomolecular detections such as antigen-antibody interaction.

Uncooked starch can be effectively saccharified in an enzyme reaction system containing attrition-milling media. To develope the high efficiency bioattritor, an agitated bead type bioreactor was constructed, and its effectiveness was evaluated. The optimal operation condition of bioattritor was found to be 300 g glass bead/L, 200 rpm, standard type impeller for 220 g/L of uncooked corn starch. The torque under the various operational conditions were also measured. The interrelation-ship between energy consumption for agitation of attrition-milling media and enhanced extent of saccharification of uncooked starch was evaluated, Power consumption was measured to be around 1.53 watt/L under the optimal operation condition. The attrition coupled enzyme reaction system is identified to tie a very excellent energy saying process for saccharification of uncooked starch, and seems to have a bright prospect of industrial application.

This study intended to understand movements of turbid water in selective with drawal reservoirs before and after summer monsoon. Mean rainfall during November-May was low, compared to that during June-October. The reservoir water was discharged through watergates when previous rainfall and inflow exceeded 50 mm and $80\;m^3s^{-1}$, respectively. Intake towers were generally used except for the period of the high runoff. Average turbidity in gown-reservoir showed a difference of 29.9 NTU between premonsoon and postmonsoon. Diameter of particles of turbid water ranged between 0.435 and $482.9\;{\mu}m$. Fine particles such as clay were much denser than the larger particle. In the whole stations, clay component was relatively higher with a proportion of that in the particle distribution. Particle composition of turbid water showed that clay consisted of 94.4-98.9% and silt made of 1.1-5.6%. Analysis on turbid water movements derived from particle distribution showed a linear increase from the deep layer toward the surface layer in lower area of a reservoir. This was closely related with the hydraulic behavior of the reservoir, and heavily affected by the discharges through selective withdrawal towers and watergates. Turbid water originated from stream sediments in the middle area then resuspended in the down-reservoir causing a movement between the surface and middle layers of the reservoir. Therefore, such phenomenon needs to be understood for reservoir water quality management.

The heat generation at the start-up period of an autogeneous single screw extruder was determined with various feed materials, die structure and operational conditions. The highest heat generation rate was observed with defatted soybean meal, while the lowest value was obtained with rice flour, and wheat and barley flour showed the intermediate rate. As the moisture content of the flour decreased and the screw speed increased, the electric power requirement and heat generation rate increased. The temperature at compression section increased with the decrease in the particle size. The same effect was also observed as breaker plate was installed. The optimum operation was established as the temperature profile was maintained in decreasing order of metering section, die and compression section.

Effects of operating variables on the conversion of the formation reaction of meta boric acid from ortho boric acid in a laboratory-scale bubble column reactor were investigated to obtain the basic data which are indispensable for the design, scale-up, control, development and operation of industrial bubble column reactors. Reaction time and pressure, particle size of reactant and gas flow rate were chosen as experimental variables. Effects of the experimental variables on the gas holdup in the bubble column reactor were also discussed in relation to the conversion of reaction. From the results of this study, the optimum conditions were drawn as follows : Reaction time ; 35~40(min), reaction pressure ; 92~95(kPa), particle size ; under $0.6{\times}10^{-3}(m)$, gas flow rate ; 0.07~0.08(m/s).

현재 축산농가에서 쉽게 구할 수 있는 곡류, 조사료 및 부산물을 활용하여 사료의 자급율을 높이는 것은 농가의 소득증대를 위하여 바람직한 일이다. 이러한 사료의 자급자족 체계를 위하여 소형이며 조작이 간편한 사료분쇄기가 요구된다. 따라서 농가에 많이 보급되어 있는 5~10 마력 (3.7-7.5 kw)의 동력경운기에 의하여 작동될 수 있는 소형 햄머타입의 사료분쇄기 시작기를 설계 제작하였다. 그리고 시작기의 성능을 분석하기 위하여 보리, 옥수수, 볏짚, 건초를 사료로 하여 시료의 공급율과 스크린의 구멍크기를 변화시켜가며 실험을 수행하였다. 이상과 같은 햄머 밀 시작기의 설계 및 성능시험을 통하여 얻어진 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 시작기의 평균분쇄능력은 보리의 경우 평균입자직경이 543 마이크론일 때 $82.7kg/kw{\cdot}h$였으며, 옥수수의 경우에는 평균입자직경이 408 마이크론일 때 $132.7kg/kw{\cdot}h$였다. 2. 최대 공급율로 분쇄할 때 소요동력은 보리의 경우 1.9kw, 옥수수의 경우 5.3kw, 볏짚의 경우 1.5kw, 건초의 경우 1.6kw을 필요로 하였으며, 5-10 마력(3.7-7.5kw)의 동력경운기로 개발된 햄머 밀을 작동함에는 별 문제가 없는 것으로 분석되었다. 3. 시작기로 시료를 분쇄할 때 곡류 분쇄는 물론 조사료 분쇄도 가능한 것으로 분석되었다. 4. 시작기에 의해 시료를 분쇄했을 때 분쇄물의 평균온도 상승폭은 $7.2-10.0^{\circ}C$였다. 이러한 온도는 분쇄물의 영양소 파괴및 저장상의 안정성을 고려할 때 안전한 범위의 온도상승으로 판단되었다. 5. 원료공급율과 스크린 구멍크기가 분쇄량과 분쇄정도에 5% 수준에서 유의성 있는 영향을 미쳤다.

Eosin yellow is used a dye and colorant but it is harmful toxic substance. In this paper, batch adsorption studies were carried out for equilibrium, kinetics and thermodynamic parameters for eosin yellow adsorption by activated carbon with varying the operating variables like pH, initial concentration, contact time. Equilibrium adsorption data were fitted into Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherms. By estimated Langmuir constant value, $R_L$=0.067-0.083, and Freundlich constant value, $\frac{1}{n}=0.237-0.267$, this process could be employed as effective treatment for removal of eosin yellow. From calculated Temkin constant, value, B=1.868-2.855 J/mol, and Dubinin-Radushkevich constant, value, E=5.345-5.735 kJ/mol, this adsorption process is physical adsorption. From kinetic experiments, the adsorption process were found to confirm to the pseudo second order model with good correlation coefficient($r^2$=0.995-0.998). The mechanism of the adsorption process was determined two step like as boundary and intraparticle diffusion.
