Fossil energy is needed for a whole year greenhouse cropping due to climate in South Korea. Because the most of the fossil energy resources is imported, it is necessary to develop technology to be able to reduce the energy cost in order to manage greenhouse profitably. The greenhouse commonly consume less amount of energy as compared to other industrial sectors. Replacement of fossil fuel with solar thermal storage, therefore, can be an economical as well as environmentally sustainable option for greenhouse heating. The fluid flow, heat storage and radiation characteristic of the gravel bed model were analyzed to provide basic data for design of the experimental solar heated greenhouse with underground thermal storage using gravel. The air flow velocity in the gravel storage bed was proven to be affected from the capacity of circulation fan and the circulation method and the positive pressure method was proven to be the best among the different air circulation methods. The initial air temperature of the thermal storage bed of 1.2 m $wide{\times}9$ m $long{\times}0.9$ m deep was $10^{\circ}C$. After the thermal storage bed is heated by air of the mean temperature $4^{\circ}C$ during 9 hours, the temperature has increased about $20.3^{\circ}C$ and the storage of heat was about 33,000 kcal. The important factors should be taken into consideration for design of the solar heated greenhouse with underground thermal storage using gravel are insulation of rock storage, amount of storing heat, inflow rate and direction of inlet and outlet duct.

Two mesophilic trickling bed bioreactors filled with two different types of media, hydrophilic- and hydrophobic-cubes, were designed and tested for hydrogen production via anaerobic fermentation of sucrose. Each reactor consisted of a column packed with polymeric cubes and inoculated with heat-treated sludge obtained from anaerobic digestion tank. A defined medium containing sucrose was fed with changing flow rate into the capped reactor, hydraulic retention time and recycle rate. Hydrogen concentrations in gas-phase were constant, averaging 40% for all conditions tested. Hydrogen production rates increased up to $10.5 L{\cdot};h^{-1}{\cdot}L^{-1}$ of reactor when influent sucrose concentrations and recycle rates were varied. Hydrophobic media provided higher value of hydrogen production rate than hydrophilic media at the same operation conditions. No methane was detected when the reactor was under a normal operation. The major fermentation by-products in the liquid effluent of the both trickling biofilters were acetate and butyrate. The reactor filled with hydrophilic media became clogged with biomass and bio gas, requiring manual cleaning of the system, while no clogging occurred in the reactor with hydrophobic media. In order to make long-term operation of the reactor filled with hydrophilic media feasible, biofilm accumulation inside the media in the reactor with hydrophilic media and biogas produced from the reactor will need to be controlled through some process such as periodical backwashing or gas-purging. These tests using trickling bed biofilter with hydrophobic media demonstrate the feasibility of the process to produce hydrogen gas in a trickle-bed type of reactor. A likely application of this reactor technology could be hydrogen gas recovery from pre-treatment of high carbohydrate-containing wastewaters.

In the late in-vessel phase of a nuclear reactor severe accident, the internal heat transfer and crust evolution during the debris bed melting process have important effects on the thermal load distribution along the vessel wall, and further affect the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) failure mode and the state of melt during leakage. This study coupled the phase change model and large eddy simulation to investigate the variations of the temperature, melt liquid fraction, crust and heat flux distributions during the debris bed melting process in the hypothetical severe accident of HPR1000. The results indicated that the heat flow towards the vessel wall and upper surface were similar at the beginning stage of debris melting, but the upward heat flow increased significantly as the development of the molten pool. The maximum heat flux towards the vessel wall reached 0.4 MW/m². The thickness of lower crust decreased as the debris melting. It was much thicker at the bottom region with the azimuthal angle below 20° and decreased rapidly at the azimuthal angle around 20-50°. The maximum and minimum thicknesses were 2 and 90 mm, respectively. By contrast, the distribution of upper crust was uniform and reached stable state much earlier than the lower crust, with the thickness of about 10 mm. Moreover, the sensitivity analysis of initial condition indicated that as the decrease of time interval from reactor scram to debris bed dried-out, the maximum debris temperature and melt fraction became larger, the lower crust thickness became thinner, but the upper crust had no significant change. The sensitivity analysis of in-vessel retention (IVR) strategies indicated that the passive and active external reactor vessel cooling (ERVC) had little effect on the internal heat transfer and crust evolution. In the case not considering the internal reactor vessel cooling (IRVC), the upper crust was not obvious.

Polyurethane foam이 충진된 trickle bed reactor에서 통성혐기성 미생물인 Citrobacter amalonaticus Y19을 이용하여 일산화탄소와 물로부터 연속적인 수소생산을 살펴보았다. C. amalonaticus Y19은 설탕을 탄소원으로 할 때 호기적 조건에서 13 g/L까지 성장하였고 혐기조건에서 CO 가스를 주입하였을 때 약 60시간만에 최대 수소 생산 활성을 나타내었다. TBR 반응기에서 유입가스의 CO의 분압이 증가할수록 혹은 기체 체류시간이 감소할수록 수소 생성속도가 증가하였으나 CO의 전환율은 반대로 감소하였다. 그러나 액상의 유속변화는 반응기 운전 결과에 큰 영향을 주지 못했다. 본 실험에서 얻은 최대 수소 생성속도는 기체 체류시간 25분, 유입 CO 압력 0.4 atm에서 16 mmol/L/hr(전환율 33%)이었다. 이 값은 비슷한 반응기에 대해 보고된 Cowger의 결과보다 약 2배 이상 높은 값으로 통성혐기성균주의 고농도 배양과 다공성 충진물의 사용에 의한 높은 기-액 물질 전달 속도가 그 원인으로 추정되었다.

실리콘 카바이드 입자(평균 입도 123 ㎛)의 유동층 태양열 흡열기의 성능 및 효율에 영향을 미치는 입자 거동 해석을 위해 MP-PIC 모델을 이용하여 전산모사를 수행하였고, 기존 실험결과와의 비교를 통해 검증하였다. 특히, 본 연구에서는 실험적으로 접근하기 어려운 유동층 표면 부근에서의 거동을 모사함으로써 흡열 성능과 입자 거동과의 상호 영향을 분석하였다. CPFD 모사결과는 입자층 및 프리보드에서의 평균 고체체류량과 압력요동 등 수력학적 특성 실험결과를 잘 예측하였다. 입자 흡열기에서 1차적으로 태양열 에너지를 흡수하여 층 내부로 전달하는 층 표면 부근에서의 국부 고체체류량은 입자층 내 기포거동에 따라 중심부에서 상대적으로 낮은 값을 나타내는 불균일 분포를 나타내었다. 프리보드 영역에서 국부 고체체류량은 기체속도가 증가할수록 축방향과 각 높이에서의 횡방향에서 불균일성이 증가하였고, 이는 입자 흡열기의 프리보드 영역 내 비산된 입자에 의해 반사된 태양광 에너지 손실과 연관된 압력강하 상대표준편차 증가의 원인임을 나타내었다. 입자 흡열기 내 기체속도 증가에 따른 국부적인 기체 및 입자 속도의 변화에 대한 고찰을 통해, 유동층 내 국부적인 입자거동 특성은 Geldart B 입자 물성과 관련된 입자층 내 기포 거동과 밀접하게 연관됨을 확인하였다. 유동층 입자 흡열기의 성능 척도인 일사량 당 유동기체의 출입구 온도차(∆T/I_DNI)는 입자 층 표면 및 표면 상부 프리보드 영역 내 압력요동 RSD와 상관관계가 매우 높음을 확인하였고, 이 결과는 흡열기 성능 개선에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다.

Objective: The aim of this research was to investigate the depressive effect of Sa-am Acupuncture(膀胱正格) in stroke patients. Methods: We measured the blood pressure of the patients who were admitted in the Oriental Medical hospital of Dae-Jeon University from June. 2003. to September. 2003. If systolic blood pressure was over 160mmHg or diastolic blood pressure was over 100 mmHg, 40 patients were treated by Sa-am Acupuncture(膀胱正格) and the other 20 patients were taken a rest in bed. Then 30 minutes and 60 minutes later, systolic, diastolic blood pressure were measured. Results: After 30 minute treatment, Sa-am Acupuncture(膀胱正格) significantly depressed the systolic and diastolic blood pressure, but bedrest can't do it. After 60 minute treatment, both Sa-am Acupuncture(膀胱正格) and bedrest significantly depressed the systolic and diastolic bood pressure. Conclusion: These results suggest that Sa-am Acupuncture(膀胱正格) is effective in depressing the systolic and diastolic blood pressure.

Characteristics of the high frequency pulsatile flow have been investigated experimentally to understand the flow phenomena in the hydraulic system. One axis fatigue test bed, which is widely used for automobile field test, is used. Four pressure transducers, an amplifier and a A/D convertor are used to obtain the high frequency pulsatile pressure waveform in hydraulic system. The characteristics of frequency are analyzed by power spectrum method. According to the variations of pump input pressure and actuator acceleration frequency, the pressure is measured with or without an accumulator. The amplitude of pressure with accumulator is very lower than those without accumulator due to absorbing function of accumulator. As the frequency of actuator acceleration is increased, the effect of accumulator become very important to decrease the amplitude of pulsatile pressure waveform with high frequencies.

Objectives: The purpose of this case study is to report the effect of oriental medicine on pressure ulcers. Methods: We treated a patient with a pressure ulcer with acupuncture, Jaungo, and Gamisipjeon-tang. We started with herbal medicine only, and then added the acupuncture treatment after one month. We treated the sore for a total of 4 months. We measured the size and depth of the ulcer and graded it with a National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (NPUAP) score once every two weeks. Results & Conclusions: Even though the wound was not cured completely, the total size of the pressure ulcer was reduced and the NPUAP stage was improved from 4 to 3. Therefore, Korean medicine could be an effective treatment for improving pressure ulcers.
