Weight loss and nutrients dynamics during decomposition of oak roots (diameter classes: R₁〈0.2㎝, 0.5㎝〈R₂〈1㎝, 1㎝〈R₃〈2㎝, 2㎝.〈R₄〈4㎝) (Quercus acutissima) were studied for 33-months in Kongiu, Korea. After 33-months, decomposition rate of R₁, R₂, R₃ and R₄ was 49.6%, 47.5%, 66.4% and 66.1%, respectively. The decomposition constant(k) for R₁, R₂, R₃, and R₄ was 0.249/yr, 0.234/yr, 0.397/yr and 0.393/yr, respectively. Larger diameter class of the root lost more weight than smaller diameter class. N concentration in decomposing oak roots increased in all diameter classes. After 33-months, remaining N in R₁, R₂, R₃ and R₄ was 66.5%, 80.7%, 84.4% and 44.4%, respectively. K concentration in decomposing oak roots decreased in early part of decomposition and then increased in later stage of decomposition. After 33-months, remaining P in R₁, R₂, R₃ and R₄ was 64.7%, 62.4%, 93.1% and 30.7%, respectively. K concentration in decomposing oak roots decreased rapidly in early stage of decomposition. Remaining K in R₁, R₂, R₃ and R₄ was 11.6%, 10.6%, 5.9% and 7.7%, respectively. Ca concentration in decomposing oak roots showed different among diameter classes. After 33-months, remaining Ca in R₁, R₂, R₃ and R₄ was 66.2%, 51.0%, 39.1% and 48.3%, respectively. Initial concentration of Mg in oak root was higher in smaller diameter class. After 33-months, remaining Mg in R₁, R₂, R₃ and R₄ was 15.3%, 29.9%, 24.5% and 69.4%, respectively.

Old-growth development for two different second-growth northern hardwood stands in the North America was evaluated with a computer simulation. The two sites compared were a representative 77 year old even-aged stand (Phelps) with heavy dominance by pole size classes, and an older uneven-aged stand with some existing old-growth structural features (Wildcat Creek). Each stand was evaluated in its natural progress toward old-growth structural conditions with stand structure, size distribution of live and dead trees, percent stand area in canopy gaps, and visual canopy profile and overhead view. The Phelps stand reached the minimum structural threshold for the old-growth stage after 74 years. Only 13 years was required for Wildcat Creek stand to reach the old-growth threshold. During the 45 years of simulation, the diameter distributions of both stands became broader and flatter. DBH distribution of dead trees had a general descending trend over the simulation in each stand. Gaps at Phelps were typically small after 45 years. Gap area at Wildcat Creek was somewhat more constant over the 45 years of simulation but a big gap was formed because of the death of several adjacent large trees.

Decay rate and nutrient dynamics during decomposition of oak (Quercus acutissima) branches were investigated for 33-months in Kongju, Korea.

The spherically-symmetric burning of an isolated droplet is a dynamic problem that involves the coupling of chemical reactions and multi-phase flow with phase change. For the improved understanding of these phenomena, this paper presents the numerical results on the n-heptane droplet combustion conducted at a 1 atm ambient pressure in three different initial droplet diameter ($d_0$). The main purpose of this study is to provide basic information of droplet burning, extinction and flame behavior of n-heptane and improve the ability of theoretical prediction of these phenomena. To achieve these, the numerical analysis was conducted in terms of normalized droplet diameter ($d/d_0$), flame diameter ($d_f$) and flame standoff ratio (FSR) under the assumptions that the droplet combustion can be described by both the quasi-steady behavior for the region between the droplet surface and the flame interface and the transient behavior for the region between the flame interface and ambient surrounding.

탄소 나노 튜브(CNT)들로 구성된 다중벽 탄소 나노튜브 진동은 분자사이의 역학적인 시뮬레이션에 의해 조사되었다. 그 결과는, 벽간의 결합이 주파수 분할을 이끌고 세개의 주파수 제너레이터로써의 2차 함수 벽, 5차 벽, 6차벽으로 된 오실레이터와 직경으로부터 독립적인 적합성 제안을 위해 지속적인 세개의 정점이 있다는것을 보여준다. 더욱이 적어도 MWCNT 진동의 초기의 주파수중 하나는 이중벽진동의 초기주파수보다 낮다.

하수처리장의 침전지 구조물은 고형물(SS) 및 현탁물을 침전, 제거하여 하수의 정화를 도모하는 시설로 초기 유입 하수의 생물학적 처리로 인해 발생되는 슬러지와 처리수를 분리함에 그 목적을 두고 있다. 침전지 구조물은 장소의 제약 및 침전지의 효율성 측면에서 많은 공법이 제안되고 있으며, 그중 이층 침전지의 경우 구조물의 시공비용 절감 및 공간 활용측면에서 단층 침전지에 비해 우수성을 인정받고 있다. 하지만 상 하 층에 위치하고 있는 침전지 유입부의 위치적 특성으로 인해 균등한 유량의 분배가 이루어지지 않고 유량이 한곳에 집중되는 현상으로 보일 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 3차원 수치모형인 FLOW-3D를 이용하여 이층 침전지의 유량분배 최적화를 위한 설계인자를 도출 하였다. 특히 상 하층에 위치하고 있는 유입부의 위치적인 특성을 고려하여 유입부의 직경을 상층 $500mm{\sim}600mm$, 하층 $500mm{\sim}700mm$으로 변화시키며 수치모의를 수행하였으며, 유입량의 분배효과를 확인하기 위해 각 동일한 위치에서 유입량을 산정하였다. 각 케이스별 분배효과를 분석한 결과 상 하층의 유입부 직경을 상층 600mm 와 하층 700mm를 적용했을 경우 유입량의 표준편차가 가장 작게 발생하며, 침전지 내부의 흐름이 원활하게 이루어지는 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구에서는 상용 CFD모형인 FLOW-3D를 계획 중인 H하수처리장의 이층 침전지 설계에 적용하였으며 유입부 직경에 따른 분배효과를 분석하였다.

To develope reforestation methods for enviromentally sound and ecological forest management, Fraxinus rhynchophylla stand structure and radial growth of the trees were invstigated and compared by study sites. Plantation forest studied on Fraxinus rhynchophylla, was located at Jawoon-ni Nae-myeun, Hongcheon-gun and natural forest studied on Fraxinus rhynchophylla, was located at Jangjeon-ni Jinbu-myeun, Pyeungchang-gun. In 7,8 years after planting, differences of annual diameter increment among three stand origins were significant. The highest mean annual diameter increments of F. rhynchophylla, 4.60 mm/year was measured in sprouting trees, and followed by natural seedlings 4.59 mm/year. The lowest values, 4.18mm/year did in planting trees. Early radial growth of planting F. rhynchophylla was measured lower than that of sprouting or natural seedlings. These facts mean that planting F. rhynchophylla is not proper regeneration methods. Other regeneration methods of F. rhynchophylla forest, by sproutings, direct seeding and natural seeding, might be researched and recommended.

A numerical model of the igniter for the interior ballistics has been developed combining the lumped parameter model with the theoretical equation of the orifice. With the developed model of the igniter, the numerical study on characteristics of the interior ballistics according to the igniter configuration in terms of the igniter length, the side hole diameter, and the distribution of side holes has been conducted. As results of the calculation of the pressure difference between the breech and shot base, the low frequency oscillations have been influenced by the igniter length, while the high frequency oscillations have been affected by the side hole diameter and the distribution of side holes.

The main purpose of this study is to provide the information of soot generation of toluene fuel droplet. To achieve this, this paper provides the experimental results on the different initial diameter of toluene droplet combustion characteristics conducted under equivalent ambient pressure ($P_{amb}$) and oxygen concentration ($O_2$) conditions. Visualization of single fuel droplet was performed with high resolution CCD camera and visualization system. At the same time, ambient pressure ($P_{amb}$) and oxygen concentration ($O_2$) were maintained by ambient condition control system. Soot volume fraction ($f_v$) was analyzed and compared on the basis of intensity ratio ($I/I_0$) of background image. The result of soot generation was almost the same regardless of initial droplet diameter since thermophoretic flux is not much changed under the same ambient conditions. Soot standoff ratio (SSR) of 2 mm diameter showed unstable variation characteristics due to the short available measuring time.
