The effects of relaxation and backwashing on fouling in ultrafiltration were investigated using full-scale membrane bioreactors (MBRs) which operated at a constant flux of 30 LMH. This paper also estimated the feasibility of using intermittent aeration strategies for minimizing the hydraulic resistance to filtration in comparison with the continuous aeration for running MBRs. Multiple cycles of filtration (14.5 min each) and relaxation (0.5 min each) were repeated. Similarly, a backwash was conducted by replacing a relaxation after each filtration cycle for the comparative performance test. The attached cake thickness on the membrane rapidly increased, caused by subsequent no aeration leading to easier combining with gel layer and the formation of heterogeneous layer on the membrane surface. During periodic backwashing, it is expected that gel and thin cake layer might sufficiently be removed by heterogeneous layer. After periodic backwashing, subsequent cake layer formation during time of no aeration was rapid than frequent no aeration, acting as a prefilter and preventing further irreversible fouling. Based on the Pearson correlation analysis, overall period fouling (dTMP/min) and average of all cycles (dTMP/min) were strongly correlated with the on-off period of aeration for operating MBRs.

This paper describes the measurement of thickness of still air layer above fabrics and its relationship to structural properties of fabrics. Rayon fabrics - of both filament and spun - and wool nylon blended fabrics varied in terms of surface hairiness were used. Temperature and relative humidity above fabrics were measured at the various distances from the fabric surface. Increase in the thickness of fabric, fabric weight, yarn count, and crimp resulted increase in thickness of still air layer above fabric. Surface hairiness of fabrics as well as the structural properties were found to be related with the thickness of still air layer above fabrics.

This report Introduces a total heat exchanger in a solar air-conditioning system using Lithium Chloride(LiCl) solution. The hot and humid outside air is cooled and dehumidified by LiCl solution that is sprayed on the packed layer of the total heat exchanger. LiCl solution once diluted is concentrated again in a regenerator using solar energy. Three types as the packed materials were used in this experiment and the dehumidification performance was evaluated by the value of $k_xa(kg/h{\cdot}m^3{\cdot}{\Delta}x)$, overall mass transfer coefficient based on a humidity ratio potential difference, the influence of inlet LiCl solution flow rate, air flow rate, packed layer height on $k_xa$ was investigated. It was found that air flow rate, LiCl solution flow rate, packed layer height for all types had a great influnce on the value of $k_xa$.

This study reports on the development of intelligent clothing using a shape memory alloy (SMA) that forms a still air layer and provides thermal insulation depending on the environment temperature. SMA springs were prepared with Nitinol and have an original length of 6mm and a latent length of 20mm with a response temperature of $24.5^{\circ}C$. Hysteresis was evaluated at a temperature between $0^{\circ}C$ and $40^{\circ}C$. An experimental outdoor jacket that was attached with 30 springs was compared with a commercial jacket in terms of the microclimate temperature, humidity, and comfort properties by human subject tests in the microclimate chamber set at $5{\pm}0.5^{\circ}C$. The results showed that the microclimate temperature of SMA embedded clothing system from the wear trials was higher than the commercial ones during the rest period after exercise, especially on the skin side. In addition the thermal, humidity, and comfort sensations of SMA embedded clothing were better than the commercial ones.

In this study, the effect of an unsteady flow field around a body of aerostatic/aerodynamic forces were investigated using rectangular cylinders (B/D = 2, 3, 4, 5). Proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) was introduced to the analysis of the fluctuating pressure field that was measured on the stationary/oscillatory B/D=4 rectangular cylinder, and the characteristics of the proper functions with flow patterns were identified. In addition, the physical decoupling and interactions in the different co-existing flow patterns were investigated through POD. The comparison with the identified proper function associated with a particular flow pattern revealed that the Karman vortex is almost not affected by the separation bubble, but that the Karman vortex considerably interferes in the development of the separation bubble around the trailing edge. It can be considered that the Karman vortex induces the increment of the curvature of the substantial separated flow.

Underground excavation for building construction in Korea is changing from conventional support method (Strut, Ground anchor) to inside permanent support method by stability, economic, circumstances around excavation and etc. This study was selected the sites of Top-down, New Top-down, S.P.S, S.T.D and B.R.D in general use. This study was compared and analyzed a construction cost and period between aforementioned methods and conventional support method. Also, this study was confirmed the stability of temporary retaining wall by analysis for measurement data under construction. As a result, this study can grasp that most improved permanent support method is excellent in economic and constructability than conventional support method in case of deep excavation and rapid appearance of bedrock.

최근 급격한 도시화는 홍수량 증가 및 갈수 시 하천의 건천화 등 유역의 유출특성 변화를 가져왔다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하는 방안 중 하나인 투수성 포장의 유역 내 수문학적 효과를 분석하였다. 이를 위해 투수성 포장을 이용한 수리모형 실험 및 수치모형(SWMM)을 병행하여 수행하였다. 연구에 사용한 수치모형은 기존 도시유출 모형인 SWMM(Storm Water Management Model) 모형에 투수성 포장의 수문학적 효과를 고려할 수 있도록 수정된 모형이며, 수리모형 실험 결과를 토대로 수치모형의 중요 매개변수를 추정하였다. 또한 실험에 의해 관측된 지표 및 지하수 유출량과 수치모형에 의해 산출된 자료를 비교.분석하여 수정된 SWMM 모형의 유용성을 평가하였다. 강우강도가 65 mm/hr, 90 mm/hr, 95 mm/hr인 강우를 4시간씩 공급하는 경우에 대한 3가지 수리모형 실험을 수행하였다. 수리모형실험 결과 강우강도는 지표면 유출의 크기에 직접적인 영향을 미치고 있었으며 지하수 유출량은 강우강도 보다는 지하수위 조건에 더 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 분석되었다. 수리모형 실험결과 및 수치모형 모의결과를 비교 분석한 결과, 토양 함수량 및 지하수위 변동 특성은 초기에서 정상상태로 전이되는 부분과 강우 정지 후 감소되는 부분에서 수리모형 실험과 다른 양상을 보였다. 지하수위는 실험 시 발생하는 공기층의 포집이 많은 영향을 미치고 있음을 알 수 있었고, 함수량 변화에 있어서는 수치모형(SWMM)의 모의 결과가 과도하게 감소하는 특성을 보여 주고 있었다. 즉, 유출량의 특성은 비슷한 양상을 보이고 있으나 지하수위 변화 및 토양 내 함수량 변화 예측에 있어서는 그 정확도가 떨어지는 것으로 평가되었다. 그러나 본 연구결과를 통하여 투수성 포장과 지하수에 관련된 매개변수의 집적과 분석결과는 현장기술 적용 시 매개변수의 유용한 선택과 도시유역의 물 순환 건전화 대안기술 적용에 효과적인 방법론을 제시할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Phase holdup characteristics of relatively large and small bubbles were investigated in a three-phase(gasliquid-solid) fluidized bed of which diameter was 0.105 m(ID) and 2.5 m in height, respectively. Effects of gas(0.01~0.07 m/s) and liquid velocities(0.01~0.07 m/s) and particle size($0.5{\sim}3.0{\times}10^{-3}m$) on the holdups of relatively large and small bubbles were determined. The holdups of two kinds of bubbles in three phase fluidized beds were estimated by means of static pressure drop method with the knowledge of pressure drops corresponding to each kind of bubble, respectively, which were obtained by dynamic gas disengagement method. Dried and filtered air which was regulated by gas regulator, tap water and glass bead of which density was $2500kg/m^3$ were served as a gas, a liquid and a fluidized solid phase, respectively. The two kinds of bubbles in three-phase fluidized beds, relatively large and small bubbles, were effectively detected and distinguished by measuring the pressure drop variation after stopping the gas and liquid flow into the column as a step function: The increase slope of pressure drop with a variation of elapsed time was quite different from each other. It was found that the holdup of relatively large bubbles increased with increasing gas velocity but decreased with liquid velocity. However, the holdup showed a local minimum with a variation of size of fluidized solid particles. The holdup of relatively small bubbles increased with an increase in the gas velocity or solid particle size, while it decreased slightly with an increase in the liquid velocity. The holdups of two kinds of bubbles were well correlated in terms of operating variables within this experimental conditions, respectively.
