This study investigated the effect of hydrogen permeance and selectivity, catalyst amount, $H_2O/CO$ ratio in a feed stream, and Ar sweep gas on the performance of a water gas shift reaction in a membrane reactor. It was observed that a minimum hydrogen selectivity of 100 was needed in a membrane reactor to obtain a hydrogen yield higher than the one at equilibrium and the hydrogen yield enhancement gradually decreased as the hydrogen permeance increased. The CO conversion in a membrane reactor initially increased with the catalyst amount and reached a plateau later for a membrane reactor with a low hydrogen permeance while the high CO conversion independent of a catalyst amount was observed for a membrane reactor with a high hydrogen permeance. For the $H_2O/CO$ ratio in a feed stream higher than 1.5, a hydrogen permeance had little effect on the CO conversion in a membrane reactor and it was found that a minimum Ar molar flow rate of $6.7{\times}10^{-6}mol\;s^{-1}$ was needed to achieve the CO conversion higher than the one at equilibrium in a membrane reactor.

Diffusion is a powerful tool to understand geological processes recorded in terrestrial rocks as well as extraterrestrial materials. Since the diffusive exchange of elements or isotopes may have occurred differently in the solar nebula (high temperature and rapid cooling) and on the parent bodies (fluid-assisted thermal metamorphism at relatively low temperature), it is particularly important to model elemental or isotopic diffusion profiles within the mineral grains to better understand the evolution of the early solar system. A numerical model with the finite difference method for the fast grain boundary diffusion was established for the exchange of elements or isotopes between constituent minerals in a closed system. The fast grain boundary diffusion numerical model was applied to 1) ²⁶Mg variation in plagioclase of an amoeboid olivine aggregate (AOA) from a CH chondrite and 2) Fe-Mg interdiffusion between chondrules, AOA, and matrix minerals in a CO chondrite. Equilibrium isotopic fractionation and equilibrium partitioning were also included in the numerical model, based on the assumption that equilibrium can be reached at the interfaces of mineral crystals. The numerical model showed that diffusion profiles observed in chondrite samples likely resulted from the diffusive exchange of elements or isotopes between the constituent minerals. This study also showed that the closure temperature is determined not only by the mineral with the slowest diffusivity in the system, but also strongly depends on the constituent mineral abundances.

This paper presents an analysis of the chaotic behavior in the discrete-time voltage mode chaotic generator fabricated using 0.8${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ single poly CMOS technology. An approximated empirical equation is extracted from the measurement data of a nonlinear function block. Then the bifurcation diagram is simulated according to input variables and Lyapunov exponent λ which represent a dependence on an initial value is calculated. We show the interrelations among time waveforms, state transition, and power spectra for the state condition of chaotic circuit, such as equilibrium, periodic, and chaotic state. And results of experiments in the chaotic circuit with the $\pm$2.5V power supply and sampling clock frequency of 10KHz are shown and compared with the simulated results.

본 연구에서는 1차원 수치모형을 개발하여 하천준설 인한 교란하천의 적응과정을 파악하였다. 본 1차원 수치모형의 특성은 하천의 혼합사와 부유사의 거동을 모의할 수 있다. 하천준설 규모의 변화에 따른 하상변동과 하천의 적응과정을 파악하기 위하여, 하천준설의 채취장 길이는 일정하고, 채취 깊이가 변하는 경우와 채취 깊이가 일정하고 채취장의 길이가 변하는 경우에 대하여 검토하였으며, 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 채취장을 중심으로 상류에는 하상이 저하되어 상류로 전파되는 것을 보여주고 있다. 채굴장 직하류에서는 하상이 저하되고 있고, 하류에는 다시 하상이 상승하는 특성을 보여주고 있다. 채취장에서 하상의 상승은 초기에는 급격하게 진행되고 있으나, 시간이 지나면서 그 증가율은 감소하고 있다. 채치장 상류에서는 하상저하가 초기에 급격하게 진행되고 있다. 그러나 시간이 지나면서 느리게 진행되고 있고, 그 영향은 상류로 먼 거리까지 영향을 미치는 것을 보여주고 있다. 하류에서 하상저하는 상류로 그 영향이 적다. 채취장을 중심으로 수심의 변화는 시간의 증가에 따라 하류에는 수심이 증가하고 있으며, 상류에서는 수심이 감소하고 있다. 시간에 따라 수심의 변화율이 감소되고 있는 것은 교란된 하천이 적응해 가면서 평형상태에 도달해 가는 과정에서 하상변화가 감소되기 때문으로 판단된다. 채취장의 채취 깊이가 깊을수록 세굴심의 하류도 이동속도는 작아지며, 이것은 채취장은 채취규모가 커지면 하천의 교란이 있은 후에 적응하는 기간이 길어지는 것을 의미한다. 무차원 하상고는 채취장의 채굴심도가 작을수록 커지며, 시간이 증가함에 따라 증가하는 것을 보여주고 있다. 채취장의 채취장 길이가 길수록 하류로 이동하는 속도는 작아지며, 이것은 채취장의 채취규모가 커지면 하천의 교란이 있은 후에 적응하는 기간이 길어지는 것을 보여주었다. 무차원 하상고는 채취장의 채굴장의 길이가 짧을수록 커지며, 시간이 증가함에 따라 증가하는 것을 보여주고 있다.

This study was peformed to find out the optimum larval stage among trochophore, early Dshaped larva, late D-shaped larva, early umbo and late umbo stages for cryopreservation of surf clam, Spisula sachalinensis larvae. Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)and ethylene glycol were used as cryoprotectant, The larvae were immersed to cryoprotectants for 10 minutes and thereafter, cryopreserved in liquid nitrogen. Survival rates of trochophores frozen-thawed in 2.0 M dimethyl sulfoxide and 2.0 M ethylene glycol were the highest as 97.4% and 85.0%, respectively and post-thaw survival rates were decreased with the larval growth.

The amounts of salt diffused into radish after immersing in various concentrations of salt solution at different temperatures were measured and the changes of radish texture by the salt diffusion were estimatedwith the viscoelastic constants of a 3 element solid model determined by a stress relaxation test. While the amount of salt diffused throught radish was increased with increasing the salt concentration and soaking temperature, the istantaneous stress, equilibrium elastic solid and viscoelastic constants of radish were decreased. Also the degree of stress relaxation and equilibrium elastic solid approached the same or zero values, as salt concentration was further increased. Viscoelstic constants as well as salt diffusion were more influenced by lower salt concentration with increased temperatures.

A geometrically non-linear finite element formulation of spatial cable networks is presented using three cable elements. Firstly, derivation procedures of tangent stiffness and mass matrices for the space truss element and the elastic catenary cable element, and the isoparametric cable element are summarized. The load incremental method based on Newton-Raphson iteration method and the dynamic relaxation method are presented in order to determine the initial static state of cable nets subjected to self-weights and support motions. Furthermore, static non-linear analysis of cable structures under additional live loads are performed based on the initial configuration. Challenging example problems are presented and discussed in order to demonstrate the feasibility of the present finite element method and investigate static non-linear behaviors of cable nets.

For the initial equilibrium states of cable stayed bridges, this study presents a method to determine initial cable forces through successive iteration of the cable forces to minimize the errors between target moments or displacements and result of nonlinear analysis. Stay cables are modeled by truss elements and least square method was used to minimize the errors. In the structural characteristics of cable stayed bridges, a large axial force is introduced in the pylon and stiffening girder so fictitious section areas are assumed to determine initial cable forces accurately. To verify usefulness and validity of the proposed algorithm, some numerical analysis has been conducted and compared with the existing study.

에탄올아민(ETA: Ethanolamine)은 탄소, 질소, 산소로 이루어진 유기화합물로 각종 산업에서 널리 사용되는 물질이다. 이러한 ETA는 상온에서는 휘발성을 띠지만 산 염기의 평형상수가 9.4 이므로 그 이하에서는 양이온 형태로 존재한다. 또한 수중에 존재할 경우 COD 및 T-N을 유발하는 물질이므로 이를 제거해야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 수중에 존재하는 ETA를 제거하기 위해 온도, pH, 내부압력에 따른 ETA 증발 특성을 조사하였다. ETA증발 초기에는 끓는점의 차이로 인하여 물이 먼저 증발하며 일정시간 경과 후 농축된 ETA가 급격히 증발하였다. 내부압력이 낮아짐에 따른 ETA 수용액의 끓는점은 낮아졌으며 내부압력이 160mmHg이하일 때 가열온도에 영향을 받지 않고 ETA는 전량 증발하였다. 대기압 상태에서 ETA의 증발량은 pH에 영향을 받지만 진공상태에서는 ETA의 부분압이 낮아져 그 영향력은 매우 적었다.

In the previous $paper^{(1),(2)}$, a geometrically non-linear finite element formulation of spatial cables subjected to self-weights and support motions was presented using multiple noded cable elements and how to determine the initial equililbrium state of cables was addressed. In this paper, in order to perform dynamic non-linear analysis of ocean cables subjected to support motions and earthquakes, a numerical method to calculate Morison forces and incorporate effects of earthquake motions is presented based on the Newmark method. Challenging example problems are presented in order to investigate dynamic non-linear behaviors of ocean cables subjected to support motions and earthquake loadings.
