Effect of dry-heat treatment $(130{\sim}220^{\circ}C)$ on properties of corn starch was investigated. No significant changes of surface color and swelling power were observed. Blue value, water-binding capacity, solubility and degree of hydrolysis by acid or glucoamylase were increased; however, intrinsic viscosity and crystallinity were decreased as heating temperature was raised. Noticeable changes occurred between $170{\sim}190^{\circ}C$.

가뭄은 수개월, 수년 이상에 걸쳐 서서히 발생 및 지속되며, 식생에 대한 피해가 발생할 때까지 확실한 인식이 어렵다. 최근에는 기후변화로 인하여 가뭄의 발생빈도가 증가하고 있으며, 기상 이상에 따른 다양한 형태의 가뭄이 발생하고 있다. 미국에서 정의한 'Flash Drought'는 비교적 짧은 기간 동안 표면온도의 상승과 비정상적으로 낮고 빠르게 감소하는 토양수분으로 인하여 식생에 대한 극심한 스트레스를 유발하면서 광범위한 작물 손실 및 용수공급 감소 등에 대한 피해를 야기하는 가뭄이다. 국내에서는 Flash Drought에 대한 모니터링이 활성화되지 않았기 때문에 본 연구에서는 '돌발가뭄'이라는 새로운 정의를 제시하면서 토양수분, 증발산량, 강수량, 기온 등의 가뭄 관련 주요인자를 활용하여 국내에서 발생한 돌발가뭄 (Flash Drought)를 감지하고 분석하고자 하였다. 돌발가뭄을 분석하기 위하여 선행연구에서 제시한 가뭄 관련 주요인자 기준 유형, 증발산량 기반 가뭄지수를 활용한 유형 등을 활용하였으며, 지상관측자료로는 국내 76개 종관기상관측 자료를 활용하였다. 또한, 토양수분 자료는 GRACE (Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment) 위성영상 자료를 취득한 후 5 km 공간해상도 자료로 활용하였다. 가뭄지수의 경우 증발산 기반 가뭄지수 중 표준강수증발산지수 SPEI (Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration), 증발스트레스지수 ESI (Evaporative Stress Index) 등을 활용하여 국내 돌발가뭄 유형에 대한 분석에 적용하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 아직 명확하게 정의되지 않은 돌발가뭄에 대한 유형별 분석 및 국내 돌발가뭄의 수문기상학적 특성을 분석하고자 한다.

The most efficient system for converting heat to electricity, AMTEC (Alkali Metal Thermal-to-Electric Convertor), is a device that directly converts heat energy to electricity using an alkali metal (sodium) as the working fluid. The AMTEC consists of a low pressure chamber, high pressure chamber, BASE (Beta-Alumina Solid Electrolyte), and artery wick. The main heat loss of the AMTEC system occurs in the low pressure chamber. A high power generation rate is thought to be obtainable by using a high temperature in the BASE. Therefore, to reduce the radiation heat loss, 6 types of radiation shields were examined to reduce the radiative heat loss in the low pressure chamber. The power generation rate of the AMTEC varied depending on the shape of the radiation shield. CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) analyses were carried out to optimize the shape of the radiation shield. As a result, the optimum radiation shield was found to consist of a curvature formed at the vertical point, in which case the dimensionless temperature (condenser temperature/BASE temperature) is approximately 0.665 and the maximum power generated is calculated to be 17.69W. Increasing the distance beween the BASE and condenser leads to an increase in the power generated, and the power generated with the longest distance was 17.58 W. The shields with multiple holes and multiple horizontal layers showed power reduction rates of 0.91 W and 2.06 W, respectively.

The objective of this study is to experimentally investigate the heating performances of the portable air combustion heater using diesel fuel for auxiliary cabin heating of the battery electric vehicle. In order to evaluate the heating performances of the air combustion heater, the heating capacity was calculated by the temperature at inlet and outlet parts of the considered heater and the inner temperature distribution characteristics of the vehicle were measured during 1600 seconds with an interval of 1 second. The theoretical efficiency of the tested heater was calculated by temperature data of the air of supplying and exhausting to the cabin. As the air passed the heat-sink, the air temperature at the end of heat-sink reached to $101.3^{\circ}C$ and the difference of temperature on heat-sink was 67.8%. The average heating capacity of the air combustion heater showed 2.0 kW. After 1800 seconds, the inner temperature of the vehicle cabin was continuously increased. The temperatures of the top side and the bottom side of the car cabin under consideration were increased upto $42.5^{\circ}C$ and $24.3^{\circ}C$, respectively, and the theoretical efficiency of the tested heater was on average 63.7%.

New coupling agent or surface modified agent (9-decenoic acid) was used to enhance the compatibility between silica and polystyrene in silica/polystyrene hybrid nanocomposite, synthesized by in situ miniemulsion polymerization. Composites contain well dispersed nanosize silica particles. Related tests and analyses confirmed the success of synthesis. Functionalization of silica by 9-decenoic acid and silica on the polystyrene was confirmed by FTIR. TGA showed presence and amount of silica in final latex. The glass transition temperature of the hybrid nanocomposite was increased with the silica amount. SEM and TEM analysis showed the spherical morphology of PS and composite with an average diameter of 55 nm. The presence of silica within composite was confirmed by EDS attached to the existing TEM.

In this study, thermophysical properties of the engineering ceramic materials such as $Al_{2}$O$_{3}$, Si$_{3}$N$_{4}$ and SiC were measured b y a single rectangular pulse heating method. The values of thermal diffusivities, specific heats, and thermal conductivities were measured as a function of temperature ranging form room temperature to 1300K. The measured thermal properties of one group of ceramic material were compared with those of other group and discussed in detail in connection with the chemical composition. Thus, some criteria for thermal design with the engineering ceramic materials were proposed.

본 연구에서는 리싸이클 방법에 따른 리싸이클 폴리에스터사의 물리적 성질을 고찰하고자 하였다. 시료로는 물리적 리싸이클 방법과 화학적 해중합을 통한 리싸이클 방법을 사용한 폴리에스터사를 사용하였다. 리싸이클 폴리에스터사의 표면 형상을 관찰하기 위해 SEM을 이용하였고, 열적 거동을 규명하기 위해 DSC를 이용하였으며, 미세 구조적 차이를 살펴보기 위해 XRD 분석을 하였고, 역학적 성질을 평가하기 위해 인장강도와 절단신도를 측정하였다. 연구 결과, 리싸이클 방법에 따라 Tg, 결정화 온도, 융점과 융해열은 약간의 차이를 보였다. 화학적 리싸이클 PET사는 Virgin PET사보다 Tg가 약간 상승하였고, 승온 시 결정화 온도는 하강하였으며, 융점의 차이는 거의 없는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 해중합에 의해 PET의 비결정영역의 고분자 사슬 간의 거리가 좁아져 더 높은 Tg를 나타내는 것으로 생각된다. 또한, 물리적 리싸이클 PET사의 융점과 융해열은 화학적 리싸이클 PET사의 융점과 융해열보다 더 높게 나타났다. 결정화도에서는 리싸이클 방법에 따른 차이는 거의 보이지 않았다. 이는 리싸이클 공정이 폴리에스터의 결정영역 변화에는 유의한 영향을 미치지 않았기 때문인 것으로 생각된다. 실의 인장강도는 리싸이클 PET사는 virgin PET사보다 약간 더 낮았고, 물리적 리싸이클 PET사와 화학적 리싸이클 PET사는 비슷하게 나타났고, 절단신도는 virgin PET사, 물리적 리싸이클 PET사와 화학적 리싸이클 PET사 간의 뚜렷한 차이는 없는 것으로 나타났다.

This study examined the airflow field around a gun port on the flight condition of gunfire to verify the aircraft performance and safety effects and gun gas rate, path according to the options of diverter configuration. The gun port diverter not only effectively lowered the heat generated by gunfire but also effectively discharged the gun gas upwards. The path of gun gas can be changed according to its configuration. According to the optional configuration of the rear-gun-port diverter, the flow rate, path, and pressure of the gun gas were analyzed during gunfire. An analysis of the internal velocity distribution and the temperature change of the gun port revealed a rapid decrease in flow rate through the rear diverter according to the option configuration. The forward flow rate showed a similar tendency with little change. This ensures that the gun gas generated during gunfire has a sufficient flow distance from the aircraft surface, regardless of the rear gun port diverter's optional configuration. The flow stagnation of gun gas according to the option configuration of diverter had a great influence on the internal temperature rise of a gun port.

Far-infrared radiation therapies are becoming more popular for blood circulation disorders, cardiovascular disease, skin diseases, inhibit cancer cell, etc replacing conventional operations. In this research, thermal characteristics of heating part in panel radiators, which is effective on the blood circulation disorders were experimentally analyzed. The heating line supplies heat energy to insulation coatings with heat flux of $150mW/m^2$ in normal status and as a result the coatings reached 20% of the heating line temperature. In other words, the insulation itself could increase surface temperature of heating plates by 20% and raise thermal time constant promote blood circulation effect. We also found that space arrangement of the heating lines was an important factor in designing heating parts and both coefficient of heat conduction and density of the heating plate should be also considered for superimpose of thermal diffusion.

An experimental study is presented for extinguishing characteristics of liquid fuel fire by water mist containing sodium acetate trihydrate. To evaluate the extinguishing performance of water mist containing an additive, the evaporation characteristics of a water droplet on a heated surface was examined. The evaporation process was recorded by a charge-coupled-device camera. Also, small-scale extinguishing tests were conducted for n-heptane pool fire in ventilated space to measure flame temperature variation. The average evaporation rate of a water droplet containing an additive was lower than that of a pure water droplet at a given surface temperature due to the precipitation of salt in the liquid-film and change of surface tension. In case of using an additive, the flame temperature was lower than that of pure water at a given discharge pressure and it was because the momentum of a water droplet containing an additive was increased reducing flame size. And also dissociated metal atoms, sodium, were reacted as a scavenger of the major radical species OH^-,\;H^+$ which were generated for combustion process. Moreover, at a high pressure of 4MPa, the fire was extinguished through blowing effect as well as primary extinguishing mechanisms.
