This paper describes the development and evaluation of an innovative TDR distributed moisture sensor. This sensor features advantages of being responsive to the spatial variations of the soil moisture content. The geometry design of the sensor makes it rugged for field installation. Good linear calibration is obtained between the sensor measured dielectric constant and soil physical properties. Simulations by the finite element method (FEM) are conducted to assist the design of this sensor and to determine the effective sampling range. Compared with conventional types of moisture sensor, which only makes point measurement, this sensor possesses distributed moisture sensing capability. This new sensor is not only easy to install, but also measures moisture distribution with much lower cost. This new sensor holds promise to significantly improve the current field instruments. It will be a useful tool to help study the influence of a variety of moisture-related phenomena on infrastructure performance.

The aim of this paper is to develop the low temperature vacuum dryer, with low initial investments and operating costs, easy operating method and trouble-free operation Usally operations just below atmospheric pressure, as with direct dryers, but some are built for vacuum operation with pressure as low 50 mmHg abs. The lowers the boiling point to $39^{\circ}C$ The experimental data of quantitative analysis for using practically were obtained by the constant drying rate period and reducing drying rate period according to the temperature of hot water which is the experimental parameters of present experiment. As the results, it took about 20 hours for material to reach about 18% of the final moisture content is order to store products for a long time about 450% of the early moisture content at the beginning of drying and maximum drying rate comes to about 0.30 kg/m2hr at about 350% of the moisture content.

In general, outflow is larger with rainfall but it is various in the initial moisture condition of basin and condition of rainfall distribution in both time and space. In this study, changes of outflow with time varied rainfall data were analyzed in the basin in which the moisture distribution is constant. Outflow differences with rainfall intensive of first period, middle period, and last period of month are 6.1% in January, 7.8% in February, 9.8% in March, 22.6% in April, 15.7% in May, 19.1% in June, 22.6% in July, 22.4% in August, and 16.8% in september respectably. The results show that 10 days outflow differences are ranged from 6.1% to 22.6% under the constant moisture condition, Outflow differences in the flood seasons are larger than them in the drought seasons.

본 연구에서는 마이크로파 조사를 통하여 디젤오염토양의 TPH (Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon) 제거양상을 살펴보고자 하였다. 건조토양을 마이크로파로 조사하였을 때 토양 내 온도의 상승은 완만하였으나 수분이 공급된 상태에서 온도 상승이 급격하게 나타났다. 함수량이 20% 이내 범위에서는 수분함량이 증가할수록 온도가 상승하였으나 20% 이상에서는 오히려 온도가 저하되었다. 100~700 W의 전력량으로 마이크로파를 조사한 후 각각의 TPH의 제거량을 확인하였을 때 300 W 이상의 범위에서는 전력량이 높아짐에도 TPH 제거량에 차이가 많지 않았다. 초기 수분량 20%에서 마이크로 조사 시 최종 TPH 제거량은 60%로 나타났으나 추가적으로 수분을 공급하여 토양 내 함수량을 일정하게 유지하였을 때 약 25%의 TPH 제거 증대효과가 나타났다. 이는 마이크로파를 이용할 때 반응이 지속됨에 따라 수분손실과 더불어 온도가 감소하므로 토양 내 함수량을 유지하는 것이 효율적인 TPH제거를 위해 중요한 요인이 될 수 있다는 것을 나타낸다.

고추의 건조 중 중요한 품질요소인 carotenoid 파괴 및 비효소적 갈변의 kinetics를 건조 중 품질측정을 이용한 dynamic test에 의하여 평균 수분함량과 온도의 함수관계를 결정하였다. 1차반응으로 가정된 carotenoid 파괴 속도상수는 고온 고수분에서 높았으며 수분의존성에 있어서 건조중간의 어떤 수분함량에서 최소치를 보여주고 있었다. 온도의존성에 있어서 활성화 에너지는 7.7-27.4kcal/mol로 나타났고 수분함량이 높을수록 높았다. 0차반응으로 분석된 비호소적 갈변은 온도와 수분함량이 높을수록 쉽게 일어났으며 활성화에너지는 7.5-20.2kcal/mol로서 수분함량이 높을수록 높았다.

In this study, we evaluated the effect of the type of sewage sludge (digested, non digested) on drying efficiency according to the polymer injection rate. The drying characteristics were shown using a near-infrared ray (NIR) and a microwave. As a result of the drying characteristics with NIR at a polymer dose ratio of 8%, the heating up period is up to 6 minutes after the start of the drying experiment. Afterwards, the constant rate drying period of the digested sludge (A, C and G sites) was 6 minute → 18 minute, showing a rapid decrease in moisture. On the other hand, non digested sludge (B, D, E, F, H, I, J and K sites) showed gradual drying characteristics compared to digested sludge until complete drying (10%). As the polymer dose ratio of 10% and 12%, the heating up period for digested sludge is up to 6 minute after the start of the experiment. Afterwards, the constant rate drying period of the digested sludge was 6 minute → 20 minute, showing a rapid decrease in moisture. On the other hand, the heating up period of non digested sludge was up to 10 minute after the start of the experiment, and the constant rate drying period was 10 minute → 22 minute, which was shorter than digested sludge. As a result of the drying characteristics with microwave at a polymer dose ratio of 8%, 10% and 12%, the constant rate drying period the digested sludge was 4 minute → 20~22 minute, showing a rapid decrease in moisture. On the other hand, non digested sludge of the constant rate drying period was 4 minute → 22~30 minute, which was longer than digested sludge.

In this paper, the difference of the property of absorption and desorption for five species in semi-steady state are studied. The species used are listed in Table 1 and the dimension of specimen was $8\times8{\times}T$(Tangential direction)cm and tested in various conditions. A change of average moisture content with time were measured in each cycles. The results obtained are summarized as follows. When the relative humidity in air was maximum or minimum, the distribution of moisture In wood of all specimens were illustrated by exponential curves of decrease or increased from lace 10 center of wood. From the consideration of coefficient of decrease(C), the amount of moisture change of spruce was larger than the others. The pheonomenon was considered no relation to the specific gravity in air dry, but the wood structures. The velocity of the absorption and desorption for species decreased in the order spruce(Picea sitchensis) neodobam(Fagus crenata), solsong(Tsuga heterophylla), meranti(Shorea sp.) and kaesoo(Cercidiphyllum japoicum). In case of constant temperature and water vapor pressure is changed. the amount of absorbed moisture was larger than that of constant water vapor pressure and temperature vaned. In this fact, it is considered that the property of sorption of wood is strongly influenced by vapor pressure gradient than temperature gradient.

최근 지반 특성과 지반 오염도의 조사를 위해 유전상수 측정기법을 적용하기 위한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 함수비와 건조단위중량을 갖는 화강풍화토와 주문진표준사의 유전상수를 75kHz～12MHz의 주파수 범위에서 측정하였다. 사질토의 유전상수는 주파수가 증가함에 따라 감소하는 분산거동을 보였다. 또한 함수 비나 건조단위중량이 증가함에 따라 배향분극에 기여하는 물분자의 양이 증가하고 유전상수가 1인 공기의 양이 감소하여 유전상수가 증가하였다. 흙의 유전특성은 함수비와 건조단위중량을 모두 고려한 수분밀도에 선형적으로 비례하는 경향을 나타내었다. Maxwell식, Topp식, CRIM식에 의한 계산값과 측정된 값을 비교한 결과 기존의 식은 유전상수의 분산거동을 고려하지 못하고 있기 때문에 저주파에서는 측정값과 차이를 나타내었다.

The temperature and moisture distributions in a dry room with a heat and moisture source -i.e., workers- are studied numerically by using a standard $k-\varepsilon$ turbulence model. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of heat and moisture ventilation inside the room, the heat removal capacity and the moisture exhaust efficiency are introduced. The effectiveness of ventilation control is analyzed by evaluating the temperature and humidity distributions in the room quantitatively. It is found that the mean absolute humidity inside the room is almost constant regardless of the models and the heat generation rates in this study range. This results from the fact that the moisture generation by the workers was relatively small. Through the modification of the design, 40% improvement in critical decay time was achieved.
