  • This study is to investigate the characteristics of heat transfer of a horizontal tube, with radial fins of various configuration, immersed in a high temperature fluidized bed. The experimental heat transfer variation is compared with that of a smooth tube. The finned tubes and smooth tube, with outside and inside diameter of 48.6mm and 30.6mm, are made of steel tubes. The depth of the fin is 5mm, the rake angles of fin are $25^{\circ},\;35^{\circ},\;45^{\circ}$ and the widthes of fin for each rake angle are 0mm, 1mm, 2mm and 3mm. A bed temperature is fixed at $880\;{\pm}\;10^{\circ}C$. A granular refractory(silica sand) is used as a bed material with mean particle diameters of 1.22mm and 1.54mm. The maximum heat transfer coefficient is achieved with the rake angle of $25^{\circ}$ and the width of 0mm for the mean particle size 1.22mm. The coefficient is 2.14 times larger than that for a smooth tube. The rake angle for the maximum heat transfer coefficient depends on the particle size of bed material. Also the transfer coefficient decreases as the width of fin increases.

  • This study aims at providing necessary informations for management decision-making to the hospital manager, such as ratios of fixed and variable cost to total operating expense, and variable cost ratio to operating revenues, and determinant factors affecting cost behavior. A study model and related hypotheses were established, data were collected from 41 private university hospitals for the 6years from 1998 to 2003, and regression analyses were performed to test the hypotheses. The results of the analyses and conclusions are as follows; First, labor cost and administration cost within the same number of beds have not only fixed quality of the cost, but variable quality of that. Also, the ratio of the variable costs to operating revenue of the metropolitan was estimated 76.9% and that of other area hospitals was 80.1%. Second, the major factors affecting the increase rate of the operating expense were the increase rates of the number of inpatients, the number of employee, and the number of hospital operating bed. This result implies that maintaining a optimal hospital bed size and efficient operation of the beds are important strategic factors of hospital management.

  • Thermal decomposition of waste Achyranthes Root (WAR) emitted from its decoction process was investigated using a TG analyzer and a fixed-bed reactor. The WAR had the larger C and fixed carbon content than fresh AR (FAR) due to the extraction of hemicelluloses from FAR during decoction process. Thermogravimetric (TG) analysis results also revealed the elimination of hemicellulose by its decoction. Relatively high contents of the cellulose and lignin made high contents of their typical pyrolyzates, such as acids, ketones, furans, and phenols, in the pyrolysis of WAR using the fixed-bed reactor. The increase of pyrolysis temperature from 400 to $500^{\circ}C$ increased yields of oil and gas due to the more effective cracking efficiency of WAR at a higher temperature. The chemical composition of product oil was also changed by applying the higher pyrolysis temperature, which increased the selectivity to furans and phenols.

  • 환경분야에서 광촉매는 주로 오염물질의 광분해처리에 이용되고 있는데, 기존에 사용되고 있는 광분해 방법은 광촉매 미립자를 수용액에 슬러리 형태로 분산시키거나 fixed bed, fluidized bed에 부착시킨 형태의 반응기들이다. 실험적 수준의 연구로부터 얻어진 여러 연구 결과에 의하면 슬러리 형태의 반응기가 고정화 촉매 반응기보다 효율이 더 높은 것으로 보고되고 있다. 그러나 엔지니어링 관점에서 슬러리형 반응기는 촉매의 재활용과 정화 처리 후 촉매입자를 유체로부터 분리해야하는 결점이 있다. (중략)

  • The behavior of a one-step fixed bed reactor which directly synthesizes dimethyl ether(DME) from Natural Gas was simulated. In the reactor, the prevention of the occurrence of hot spots which can cause deactivation of catalysts is pivotal, since methanol synthesis and dehydration reaction involved in the synthesis of DME are highly exothermic. Therefore, we simulated and compared performance of the reactor with counter-current cooling and pool boiling system that can be applied to a commercial plant. As a result, we found that counter-current cooling system is more effective in terms of CO conversion and DME productivity. However, pool boiling system can operate in a small temperature gradient that can decrease problems caused by hot spot. And, the system can operate in a safer range.

  • The adsorption characteristics of binary-component Volatile Organic Compounds(VOCs) with benzene and toluene were studied in a fixed bed backed with activated carbon. The adsorption intensites of benzene and toluene resulted from equilibrium adsorption capacity led to roll up phenomenon in a fixed bed and behaved benzene as non-key component which meant the smaller affinity to the activated carbon of the two. From comparion with breakthrough curves between binary-component and single component systems at the same concentration conditions, the stoichiomertic breakthrough time of toluene in both systems had no difference, but that of benzene as non-key component had a tendency to shorten 130min than 200min of single component. In the breakthrough characteristics of binary-component adsorbates, the magnitude of roll-up of the non-key component increased with the increasing of non-key component ratio and aspect ratio(L/D) of fixed bed, while decreased with the increasing of interstitial velocity. Especially, the roll-up phenomenon was more conspicuous with the increasing of mole fraction of key component.
