The present paper is on the utilization of a thermal decomposition reaction $Ca(OH)_2=CaO+H_2O$, for thermal energy storage. One of the important problems in this case is how to heat up and decompose the particle of $Ca(OH)_2$ effectively where the thermal conduction is poor. In this study, the effects of Cu-plates which are placed in the $Ca(OH)_2$ packed bed as heat transfer fins are investigated experimentally. The results show that the Cu-plates are very effective for heat transfer and the thermal decomposition in the $Ca(OH)_2$ packed bed. The amount of time to dehydrate took less than a half than that without fins under the conditions of this study.

Heat release characteristics of a CaO packed bed reactor which is used for a chemical heat storage device has been studied. We employed Cu-plate fins to release the heat of reaction of the CaO packed bed inside the reactor fast and effectively. Two-dimensional analysis of unsteady state heat flow inside the bed was performed as a function of time and under various conditions of the Cu-plates. It is noted that the time required to release the heat of reaction with Cu fins is reduced more than twice fast compared to that without Cu fins. That was largely dependent upon the number of Cu-plate, as well.

A packed bed thermal energy storage (TES) consisting of solid storage medium of rock or concrete through which the heat transfer fluid is circulated is considered as an attractive alternative for high temperature sensible heat storage, because of the economical viability and chemical stability of storage medium and the simplicity of operation. This study introduces the technologies of packed bed thermal energy storage, and presents a numerical model to analyze the thermal energy balance and the performance efficiency of the storage system. In this model, one dimensional transient heat transfer problem in the storage tank is solved using finite difference method, and temperature distribution in a storage tank and thermal energy loss from the tank wall can be calculated during the repeated thermal charging and discharging modes. In this study, a high temperature thermal energy storage connected with AA-CAES (advanced adiabatic compressed air energy storage) was modeled and analyzed for the temperature and the energy balance in the storage tank. Rock cavern type TES and above-ground type TES were both simulated and their results were compared in terms of the discharging efficiency and heat loss ratio.

활성탄 흡착을 통한 도장공정의 건조작업시 발생하는 VOCs 가스중에서 많은 양을 차지하는 톨루엔의 흡착실험의 결과는 아래와 같다. 활성탄을 충전한 고정흡착탑에서 톨루엔의 흡착에 있어서 파과곡선의 파과점은 흡착제의 포화특성에 좌우되며, toluene 가스의 농도, 유량이 증가할수록 감소하였다. 활성탄의 동일한 충전층에 대해 toluene 가스의 유량, 농도가 증가할수록 MTZ와 LUB도 증가함으로 흡착층의 효율이 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.

초고집적회로의 배선 금속으로 사용되는 알루미늄 합금은 치밀한 표면 산화막 때문에 화학증착법에 의하여 비어를 선택적으로 충전하기 힘들다. 본 연구에서는 기저층을 이용하여 비어에 선택적으로 화학증착함으로써 평탄화를 이루는 새로운 방법을 제안하였다. 알루미늄, 구리 등의 배선 금속, 팔라듐, 코발트 등의 금속, 기타 타이타늄 질화물 등의 기판에 대하여 화학증착 알루미늄의 특성과 실리콘 산화물간의 선택성을 평가하였으며 팔라듐, 코발트, 타이타늄 질화물 등을 기저층으로 사용한 경우에 낮은 비저항과 안정적인 선택적 비어 충전을 이룰 수 있었다.

Constructions of buildings downtown are increasing as much as ever with a strong demand. Top-Down Method is suitable for its advantage in minimizing its disturbance to the neighborhood. Pre-founded when applied to CFT Column on-site welded is required for splicing. To complement the welded built-up square composite Column was developed. Top-down process will be pouring concrete in accordance with a step-by-step process. Thus, Pre-founded Column and cover concrete to determine the stress condition. Therefore, Concrete filled steel square tubular columns encased with precast concrete were studied. Five Centrally loaded Columns were tested to investigate the axial load carrying capacity. we analyzed the strength and behavior of CET Column by Loading conditions and concrete strength, thickness of cover concrete through structure experiments.

Follofwing the accelerating speed-up of trains and rising demand for large-volume transfer capacity, not only in Korea, but also around the world, track structures for trains have been improving consistently. Precast concrete slab track (PST), a concrete structure track, was developed as a system that can fulfil new safety and economic requirements for railroad traffic. The purpose of this study is to provide the information required for the development and design of the system in the future, by analyzing the behavior of each structural member of the PST system. The stress distribution result for different combinations of appropriate loads according to the KRL-2012 train load and KRC code was analyzed by conducting a three-dimensional finite element analysis, while the result for different thicknesses of the grouting layer is also presented. Among the structural members, the largest stress took place on the grouting layer. The stress changed sensitively following the thickness and the combination of loads. When compared with a case of applying only a vertical KRL-2012 load, the stress increased by 3.3 times and 14.1 times on a concrete panel and HSB, respectively, from the starting load and temperature load. When the thickness of the grouting layer increased from 20 mm to 80 mm, the stress generated on the concrete panel decreased by 4%, while the stress increased by 24% on the grouting layer. As for the cracking condition, tension cracking was caused locally on the grouting layer. Such a result indicates that more attention should be paid to the flexure and tension behavior from horizontal loads rather than from vertical loads when developing PST systems. In addition, the safety of each structural member must be ensured by maintaining the thickness of the grouting layer at 40 mm or more.

Quick-hardening track (QHT) is a construction method which is used to change from old ballast track to concrete track. Sufficient time for construction is important, as the construction should be done during operational breaks at night. Most of the time is spent on exchanging the ballast layer. If it is possible to apply the ballast non-exchange type of quick-hardening track, it would be more effective to reduce the construction time and costs. In this paper, pouring materials with high permeability are suggested and a construction method involving a layer separation pouring process considering the void condition is introduced in order to develop ballast non-exchange type of QHT. The separate pouring method can secure the required strength because optimized materials are poured into the upper layer and the lower layer for each void ratio condition. To ensure this process, a rheology analysis was conducted on the design of the pouring materials according to aggregate size, the aggregate distribution, the void ratio, the void size, the tortuosity and the permeability. A polymer series was used as the pouring material of the lower layer to secure the void filling capacity and for adhesion to the fine-grained layer. In addition, magnesium-phosphate ceramic (MPC) was used as the pouring material of the upper layer to secure the void-filling capacity and for adhesion of the coarse-grained layer. As a result of a mechanics test of the materials, satisfactory performance corresponding to existing quick-hardening track was noted.

In general, water-saturated silt or clay alluvium is characterized with relatively low-resistivity. Thus we often encountered the problem that such a low-resistivity layer is misguided to be good aquifer of high-permeability and low-resistivity in the development of groundwater. This research was conducted with an emphasis on the identification of saturated silt or clay layer from the aquifer by performing the laboratory experiment of IP and resistivity methods on the various materials consisting of alluvium aquifer. Silt or clay layer is found to be characterized with the higher chargeability zone, compared to the sand layer. Regarding the mixture of sand and clay, the higher clay volume, the lower resistivity and the higher chargeability. Subsequently chargeability decreases.
