Although there exist numerous measures of association, most of them are lacking in generality in that they do not intend to measure the association between heterogeneous type of random variables. On the other hand, many statistical analyzes dealing with complex data sets require a very sophisticate measure of association. In this note, the p-value of independence tests is utilized to obtain a measure of association. The proposed measure of association have some consistency in measuring association between various types of random variables.

Among various De-NOx technologies, Urea-based Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems are known to be the most effective in marine diesel applications. The spraying and mixing behavior of the urea-water solution has a decisive effect on the system's net efficiency. Therefore, in this study, the spray behavior and ammonia uniformity with and without a static mixer were analyzed by CFD in order to optimize the SCR system. The results showed that the static mixer significantly affected the uniformity of velocity and ammonia concentration. Static mixers may be especially suited for marine SCR systems with space constraints.

It is very important to predict the nonlinear behavior of combustion instability such as transition phenomena and limit cycle amplitude for fully understanding and controlling the instabilities. These nonlinear instability characteristics are highly dependent upon the flames' nonlinear dynamics in a gas turbine premixed combustor. In this study, nonlinear instability TA(Thermo-acoustic) models were introduced by applying the concept of flame describing function to the thermoacoustic analysis method. As a result of model development, for a given combustor length, the growth rate of instability was greatly affected by the change in amplitude, although the instability frequency was not. Further researches under various operating conditions and model validation on limit cycle amplitude are required.

The aim of the study is to combine software reuse with agile methods through reuse in the early stage of agile development. Although agile methods and software reuse have different practices and principles, these methods have common goals, such as reducing development time and costs and improving productivity. Both approaches are expected to serve as viable solutions to the demand for fast development or embracing requirement changes in the rapidly changing environments. In the present paper, we identify economical agile reuse and its type and study a reuse technique for input queue in Kanban board at the early stage of hybrid agile methods. Based on our results, we can integrate software reuse with agile methods by backlog factoring for input queue item in the hybrid Scrum and Kanban method. The proposed technique can be effectively applied to e-class applications and can reuse the input queue items, showing the combination of the two approaches. With this study, we intend to contribute to reuse in the early stage of agile development. In the future, we plan to develop a software tool for economical agile reuse.

Conjugate heat transfer from a heat generating module ($31{\times}31{\times}7mm^3$) bonded through the module support on the floor of a parallel-plate channel(20mm high, 400mm wide, and 800mm long) to mixed convective air flow(0.2${\sim}$0.9m/s) is studied experimentally. The input power to the module is changed in a range 1.0${\sim}$4.5W, the floor thickness 0.2${\sim}$5mm, and the thermal resistance of module support, Rc:=0.06, 1.03 and 82.0K/W. Thermal conductance(Uc) of the board and convective thermal conductance($U_A$) from the module were derived, and the effect of V; Rc and t on Uc was investigated. It is found that the conjugate conductance (Uc) and the conductive heat transfer ratio ($Q_B$/Q) depend on the thermal resistance of the module support, the air velocity and the board thickness. The change of the module support resistance and the board thickness helps to elucidate the relative significance of heat transfer paths through the module support, the board, and from the board surface to the air. Additional information is investigated about the dependence of the heat transfer rate on the mixed convection parameter.

Identifying the exact train and the type of train boarded by passengers is practically cumbersome. Previous studies identified the trains boarded by each passenger by matching the Automated Fare Collection (AFC) data and the train schedule diagram. However, this approach has been shown to be inefficient as the exact train boarded by a considerable number of passengers cannot be accurately determined. In this study, we demonstrate that the AFC data - diagram matching technique could not estimate 28% of the train type selected by passengers using the Seoul Metro line no.9. To obtain more accurate results, this paper developed a two-step method for estimating the train type boarded by passengers by applying the AFC data - diagram matching method followed by a mixture distribution analysis. As a result of the analysis, we derived reasonable express train use/non-use passenger classification points based on 298 origin-destination pairs that satisfied the verification criteria of this study.

Bio-oil derived from biomass through fast pyrolysis process has the potential to displace a significant amount of petroleum fuels. However, the use of bio-oil in a diesel engine is very limited because of its poor properties, e.g., its low energy density, low cetane number, and high viscosity. Therefore, bio-oil should be emulsified or blended with other fuels that have high centane numbers. Because bio-oil has poor miscibility with petroleum fuels, the most suitable candidate fuels for direct mixing are alcohol fuels. In this study, bio-oil was blended with ethanol, and two types of cetane improvers were added to a blended fuel to improve the self-ignition property. The two types of cetane improvers, PEG 400 and 2-EHN, made it possible for bio-oil blended fuels to combust in a diesel engine with a maximum bio-oil content of 15 wt%. A high-compression-ratio piston is also proposed for the combustion of bio-oil in a diesel engine.

본 연구에서는 분사연소합성(SCS)을 위한 기초단계로서 용액연소합성에 대한 거동을 살펴보고자 알루미나 합성을 모델로 하였으며 이를 위해 전구체에 대한 열분해거동, 그리고 각 온도에서의 평형종 분압 계산 및 합성과정을 조사하였다. 각각의 열중량 분석(TGA) 결과 산화제와 환원제(연료)의 열분해 이력이 서로 다르게 나타났으며, 열역학 응용 프로그램인 ChemSag에 의한 평형종 분압의 계산에서 연소속도를 저하시킬 수 있는 $CO_2$와 수증기 가스 분압이 상당부분 존재하였다. 산화제/환원제 혼합물의 열분석(DTA/TG) 결과 산화제와 환원제의 열분해 거동의 차이, 그리고 매우 작은 시료의 양으로 인해 263$^{\circ}C$에서 발열피크가 매우 작게 나타났다. 열분석 시료에 비해 발열 에너지를 높이기 위해 산화제와 환원제 혼합 전구체를 비이커에서 증기압을 조절하며 가열시켜 본 결과 27$0^{\circ}C$에서 $\alpha$-Al$_2$O$_3$생성물을 얻을 수 있었다. 따라서 분사연소합성 반응을 통해 세라믹 원료를 합성하기 위해서는 연소과정 중 열분해 거동과 평형종의 분압을 고려하여야 한다.

The low-temperature pyrolysis of ABS, polyethylene (PE) and an ABS-polyethylene (ABS-PE) mixture was conducted in a batch reactor at $450^{\circ}C$. The conversion and the product yield were measured as a function of the reaction time with a variation of the mixture composition. The oil products formed during pyrolysis were classified into gas, gasoline, kerosene, gas oil and heavy oil according to the petroleum product quality standard of the Ministry of Knowledge Economy. The pyrolysis conversion increases with an increase in the content of PE. The yield of the pyrolytic products was ranked as heavy oil>gas>gasoline>gas oil>kerosene as the content of PE in the mixture increases.

The Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition(HCCI) combustion is currently under intensive investigation because of its potential to increase thermal efficiency while greatly decreasing NOx and p.M. In order to account for the thermal boundary layer effects, the two-zone model has been developed to analyze the combustion characteristics of HCCI engine. The detailed chemistry are represented by the GRI mechanism 3.0 involving 53 species and 325reactions. The present combustion model has been validated against the experimental results. Computations are also made for the wide-range operating conditions of HCCI engine.
