가뭄은 사회·경제적으로 매우 큰 피해를 주는 자연재해이며, 그 시작과 발생 지역을 정확하게 예측하는 데 어려운 문제가 있다. 이에 수문 분야에서는 가뭄에 영향을 미치는 수문·기상인자들을 이용하여 다양한 가뭄지수를 개발하였고 이를 활용하여 가뭄 현상을 모니터링하고 예측 및 전망하는데 다양한 노력을 기울이고 있다. 하지만 가뭄지수들은 실제 가뭄이 어떠한 형태로 발생하는지 파악하기에 많은 한계점을 가지고 있다. 이에 최근 들어 미국과 유럽에서는 실제 농업, 환경, 에너지 등과 같은 다양한 분야에 걸쳐 가뭄 피해로 인해 생기는 가뭄 영향을 보다 체계적이고 상세한 데이터 인벤토리로 구축하고 가뭄지수와의 상관관계, 회귀분석과 같은 연구를 통해 가뭄 영향 예측을 시도하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 보고서, 데이터베이스, 웹 크롤링(Web-Crawling)을 통한 뉴스 기사 등과 같은 자료를 수집하여 국내 가뭄 영향 인벤토리를 구축하였다. 또한 수문 분야에 널리 사용되고 있는 가뭄지수인 표준 강수 증발산량지수 SPEI(Standardized Precipitation-Evapotranspiration Index)를 기반으로 지역에 따른 가뭄 영향을 예측하기 위해 최근 로지스틱 회귀모형, Random forest, Support vector machine, XGBoost 등의 다양한 머신러닝 기법을 적용하였다. 각 모형의 성능을 Receiver Operating Characteristic(ROC) 곡선을 통해 평가하여 가뭄 영향 예측에 적절한 머신러닝 기법을 제시하였다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 텍스트 기반의 가뭄 영향 자료와 머신러닝 기법을 통한 가뭄 영향 예측 방법론은 가뭄 재난 관리에 유용한 정보를 제공할 수 있다.

Halogen-based fire suppressing agents have environmental problems because they cause the stratospheric ozone depletion and globe warming. Hence, fire suppression system using fine water mist became the center of interest as a substitution of halon. As a study about this, it is in progress to make the optimum droplet size by using water mist nozzles and to improve the extinguishing performance of water mist by using additives. Before this study, the extinguishing time of ethanol and n-heptane pool fire was measured with changing of water mist droplet size, flow density, discharge pressure, and fire size. In this study, on adding the additives to improve physical and chemical extinguishing performance of water mist, the extinguishing performance would evaluate and the optimum condition would find out. As a result, in case of ethanol pan 1 pool fire, the extinguishing time of the water mist by adding of 2.5 wt% NaCl and 0.3% AFFF got shorter 27% and 60% than the pure water mist. Adding of AFFF was to decrease the flame temperature by forming thin film on the fuel surface and to decrease the evaporation of n-heptane fuel. In case of NaCl, alkali salt crystals showed on the flame surface.

In winter season, the snow and ice accretion on the bottom of the high speed railway rolling stock and boogie part has fallen at a high speed from the ballast section (gravel section for the transmission of the rolling stock load received by sleepers and fixing sleepers), causing the gravel to be scattered, thereby damaging the railway rolling stock structures and facilities. In order to solve these problems, the gravel scattering prevention net, manual de-icing, and movable hot air machine were used, but their efficiency was low. For the more efficient de-icing than ever before, an optimum material for de-icing fluid for high speed railway rolling stock was developed by evaluating the ice melting capacity, kinematic viscosity, evaporation of the material used as a chemical de-icing fluid. Four kinds of organic acid salts (sodium formate, sodium acetate, potassium formate and potassium acetate) and two different alcohols (propylene glycol, glycerol) were used as evaluation materials. Potassium formate, potassium acetate, and propylene glycol had similar ice melting capacities in the indoor test, but the propylene glycol showed the best ice melting capacity in spraying the system simulation test. This is because the kinematic viscosity of propylene glycol was 2.989029 St, which is higher than those of other materials therefore, it could stay longer on the ice and de-icing. In addition, potassium formate and potassium acetate were difficult to be used since the crystals precipitated and adversely affected the appearance of the rolling stock. The propylene glycol is the most optimum as an de-icing fluid for the high speed railway rolling stock.

Pervaporation membranes were fabricated by low temperature plasma treatment the concentrate butanol solution from fermentation process. Effects of power, reaction time, and monomer flow rate were examined to optimize the (W!FM)t value as 4.0389 x 109 J . min/kg. Various organic compounds were tested in plasma treatment. Contact angle and relative sorption ratio were examined in terms of membrane performance. With the increase of contact angle and relative sorption ratio separation factor was enhanced from 0.186 to 3.525. and butanol flux increased from 0.042 to 0.567 kglm2. hr. Hydrophobicity of the membrane increased the affinity with butanoL Heat of mixing for monomer with butanol was examined, but failed to find the trend, because plasma polymerization of monomer produced the new compounds much different from monomers.

In this study, a solar thermal system is designed to provide hot water and electricity for improvement of solar thermal energy availability in an apartment complex. The electricity is generated with Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) by the solar thermal energy. R134a, R141b and R245fa are selected for operating fluid of the solar thermal ORC system. ORC with R245fa shows the best performance based on the variation of pressure. The irreversibility of component showed that the technology advance of the evaporator ensures a performance improvement. The sensitivity study results indicate that the turbine performance is most effective way to improve the performance of ORC system. An economic analysis showed that approximately 50% more income could be achieved by a solar thermal ORC system with a hot water supply.

When a rotating heat pipe is in operation, liquid condensate returns from the condenser to the evaporator along the inside surface by both components of gravitational and centrifugal forces. It was known that its performance was largely dependent on how to increase the flow rates of condensate and keep the condensate film thickness as thin as possible. Most of research works were focussed on this goal, and various inner wall structures such as tapered wall, stepped wall or coil inserted pipe etc. were developed. In the present study, a stepped wall structure with 3 internal grooves in the condenser and adiabatic zone was examined. For this system, the condensate would flow down to the evaporator through the grooves, resulting a reduced film thickness over the condenser surface. Experimental data showed an enhancement of heat transfer coefficient in the condenser zone. An analytical solution to the condensate film thickness showed that the analytically calculated values of heat transfer coefficient were considerably higher than the experimental data.

The smear media possible to sampling and radiation detection was prepared and evaluated for the surface contamination using indirect method. The films were made by impregnating Cerium Activated Yttrium Silicate (CAYS) in a polysulfone membrane. The membranes used solution as a dimethylformamide (DMF) and methylene chloride (MC), polysulfone as a polymer matrix and CAYS as a inorganic scintillator. The proximity membranes were prepared with single- and double-layered structure. The solidified methods were immersion to the nonsolvent bath such at water and ethanol and solvent evaporation. The measurement of the photon produced by interaction with radiation and inorganic scintillator used a photomultiflier tube (PMT), amplifier, and counter. In the comparison with the low background alpha/beta counter, the counter rate using inorganic scintillator proximity membrane for the $\^$14/C surface contamination was about 50%. Also. the $^3$H counting results revealed that the prepared membranes were efficient to monitor the surface contaminated with the low energy be-ray emitter nuclides.

Heat pumps come into wide use because high energy efficiency can be obtained and diverse heat sources like geothermal heat, waste heat and air are available. It is necessary for an air source heat pump to defrost in order to remove frost on the surfaces of an outdoor heat exchanger. It is impossible for continuous heating if reverse cycle operation is used as defrosting method, furthermore it causes the degradation of COP. In this study an fin-tube heat exchanger with three rows was used as an outdoor coil. One row among three rows of the heat exchanger was used like a condenser in order to remove frost on it, the others were used as evaporator to accomplish continuous heating. Each row was switched in order from a condenser to an evaporator in specified time interval. Tests were carried out during minimum 180 minutes at the defrost-heating test condition(dry bulb temperature $2^{\circ}C$, wet bulb temperature $1^{\circ}C$) described in KS C 9306. Time-averaged COP was about 20% higher than that of conventional defrosting method.
