Ozone monitor based on UV techniques has been widely used due to their signal stability. The high concentration ozone monitor for real time ozone monitoring from ozone generator was composed of a low pressure mercury lamp as UV source and a photo multiplier tube as UV detector. The structure could be very useful for low price high concentration ozone monitor and showed good linearity to ozone in the concentration range between 0.05 and 2wt%. For accurate ambient ozone monitoring, the system composed of a high power pulsed xenon lamp as UV source, an optical spectrometer with a high sensitivity linear CCD array as UV detector. The optical signal form the CCD array was converted to digital signal, and the digital signal was displayed on screen using PC interface. The developed system showed good linearity and sensitivity in relatively low measuring range between 10ppm and 10,000ppm, and showed some feasibility of hish resolution ozone monitor using CCD array as a photodetecor.

In this study, the exergy analysis is conducted on the well known performance of already developed system and then compared with the efficiency of each equipment to propose optimum operation of the system. The system used in this study is 500 MW coal firing power plant. The efficiency of the boiler is 67% and the condenser is 99% by exergy analysis. The exergy consumption of the boiler was 32.95% at 100% load. The exergy consumption of the high pressure turbine and the low pressure turbine is 8.31% and 8.12%, respectively. Together with the concrete study on the object of performance revision of the low efficient development system proved in this study, if detailed exergy analysis on the operation condition of the equipments of the development system presently being operated is continued, then it is expected to help minimize the exergy consumption of relatively low efficient parts that are worn-out or miss-installed.

This study aims to investigate the differences of synoptic characteristics and frontal structures over East Asia according to the main path types of water vapor flux (WVF) of 850hPa surface in cases of the heavy rainfall in the south coastal region of Korea during the Changma season (June and July), In the cases of type A in which the main path of WVF is running from the South china Sea via the South china to the South Sea of Korea, the North Pacific subtropical anticyclone (NPSA) expands to the South China and strong cyclones appear in the Yellow Sea. In cases of type B and C in those the main paths of WVF are running from the South China Sea via the Western Pacific Ocean near Taiwan to the South Sea and from the Western North Pacific Ocean to the South Sea respectively, tropical cyclones appear frequently near Taiwan and the NPSA shifts northward. In the case of type D in which the main path of WVF appear only near the South Sea, strong cyclones appear near the Yellow Sea. In all cases upper jets are intensified in the northern part of the heavy rainfall region and low-level jets appear near the main paths of WVF. In the view of frontal structure, deep active-type of the Changma front is identified in most cases of all types. In this point the Changma season is different from the Baiu season in Western Japan where many cases of shallow active-type of the Baiu front appear.

This study was carried out to find the efficient methods for preventing resin exudation from spruce board during high temperature environment service.In the dry-air oven test, in-use temperature related to resin exudation of 110℃ could be obtained by the appropriate kiln drying without any special treatment, and the in-use temperature of the radio-frequency/vacuum (RF/V)-dried boards was about 20℃ higher than that of the conventional kiln-dried boards.In the autoclave test, resin exudation was not found from any board dried in the conventional kiln and in the RF/V kiln after the low pressure steam explosion (SE) treating, while for the control resin exudations were more severe in the autoclave test above 130℃ than in the dry-air oven test. It, therefore, would be suggested that resin exudation during high temperature service condition can be prevented more effectively by super-heated steaming green boards than by high-temperature drying boards with low moisture.

An on chip voltage down converter (VDC) using the self temperature-compensation techniques is proposed. At a different gate bias voltage, PMOSFET shows different source to drain current characteristic according to the temperature variation. The proposed VDC can reduce its temperature dependency by the source to drain current ratio of two PMOSFET with different gate bias respectively. Proposed circuit is fabricated in Dongbu-anam $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process and experimental results show its temperature dependency of $-0.49mV/^{\circ}C$ and external supply dependency of 6mV/V. Total current consumption is only $1.1{\mu}A@2.5V$.

Ejector-diffuser system makes use of high-pressure primary stream to entrain the low-pressure secondary stream through pure shear action between two streams. In general, the flow field in the ejector-diffuser system is highly complicated due to turbulent mixing, compressibility effects. A fatal drawback of the ejector system is in its low efficiency. Many works have been done to improve the performance of the ejector system, but not yet satisfactory. In the present study, a mixing guide vane was installed at the inlet of the secondary stream for the purpose of the performance improvement of the ejector system. A CFD method has been applied to simulate the supersonic flows inside the ejector-diffuser system. The present results obtained were validated with existing experimental data. The mixing guide vane effects are discussed in terms of the entrainment ratio, total pressure loss as well as pressure recovery.

High-voltage power systems operate in order to generate and transmit electric power at power stations. Compared to low-power systems, high-power systems are complex in structure, large-scale, and expensive. When high-power cable accidents occur, most facilities are incapacitated-including low-power systems-causing huge economic losses. Great care must therefore be taken in designing, installing and managing power systems. Although dependent on installation circumstances and usage conditions, in some cases the cross-sectional areas of cables fall short of the critical area due to the expansion of and improper design and installation of power facilities. In this situation, the exceeded ampacity (allowable current) above the critical value caused by the operating current initiates the deterioration processes of power cables. In order to systematically monitor power cables operating at power stations, we have developed the first device of its kind in Korea. In this paper, we present the analyzed characteristics of expected temperatures of cables based on the load current of high-voltage cables operating at Korean Western Power Co. Ltd. We can predict the lifetime of cables by analyzing the temperature obtained from our device.

Landfill and lysimeter experiments were conducted to estimate the optimum air injection method for the degradation of waste in landfill and the pre-stabilization. Continuous injection with low pressure and quantity can be effective for pre-stabilization of old landfill due to the lower contents of volatile solids in landfill. Air injection and landfill gas (LFG)extraction showed that the SVE (Soil Vapor Extraction) effect by air ventilation was more significant than the biodegradation of organics. Theses results suggested that they could accelerate the biological stabilization of organic waste in landfills. It is also expected that they would reduce the problems including gas emission during the landfill mining, separation and/or transportation to such levels that might be discharged directly to the atmosphere or with minimal treatment, if required.

Pressure vacuum measurement technique using acoustic impedance change of ultrasonic transducers was studied. The sensor has been setup using two air-coupled ultrasonic transducers, one as a transmitter and the other as a receiver, and put it into vacuum chamber and measured pressure versus ultrasonic amplitude. The result confirms that the standard deviations of four repeat measurements were from 0.0093 to 0.3325 at pressure 6.66 kPa to 202.65 kPa(about two atmosphere), and the relative percents were 0.018% and 0.164% at pressure 133.32 kPa and 202.65 kPa, respectively.

Occupational asthma is commonly known to be induced by isocyanate exposure. Spray painters generally use isocyanates for 2-pack spray painting to coat wooden panel surfaces in the furniture industry in South Australia. Due to a lack of actual exposure data, this study conducted environmental and dermal/ocular monitoring from a company in the furniture industry. According to this study, there was no significant airborne contamination, due to the use of high volume low pressure (HVLP) spray guns, low concentration of hardener in paint solutions and appropriate respirator like full face-air line respirator. There was no significant HDI detection in the general work area around the spray booths. Owing to the use of disposable nitrile gloves during the spray painting, no significant dermal exposure was found. According to color monitoring, there was a possible dermal exposure from surfaces in the workplace, unless either protective gloves were worn or appropriate working practices like clean-up process and storage in a secure places. No eye contamination was detected from the spray painters. No significant exposure levels from inhalational, dermal, ocular were found. The area of most concern was work practices.
