The purposes of this study were to develop a simulation model and to determine minimum specific airflow rate requirements for natural air drying of rough rice in Korea. A simulation model was developed considering energy and mass balances within grain bed, drying and rewetting rates, and hysterisis effect between sorption and desorption isotherms. As the results of validation test, the moisture contents predicted by the model agreed very well with the actual data. The criteria for determining minimum specific airflow rate requirements was that the top loom layer in the bin be dried to a moisture content below 16 percent wet basis with less than 0.5% drymatter decomposition. The minimum specific airflow rate requirements in 13 locations of Korea were presented based on the worst one among the past 7 to 13-year weather data. These requirements were also presented for all the combinations of three harvest dates and four harvest moisture contents. Specific airflow rate requirements seemed to be half by each 2 percent reduction in moisture content from 24 percent. As harvest date was delayed by 10 days from October 1, these requirements were reduced by about 20 to 40 percent.

Several thick board and dimension lumbers of Japanese larch(Larix leptolepis), Dahurian larch(Larix gmelini) and radiata pine(Pinus radiata) air-dried in four different seasons to compare air-drying process. Patterns of air-drying curves were influenced by climatological conditions and limber thickness. The initial drying rates of summer were the highest, followed those of fall, spring and winter. The drying times to equilibrium moisture contents for four seasons were nearly the same except for winter. However, the drying time for winter required twice more time than the other seasons. The drying time of dimension lumbers required 1.3 times more than boards. The final moisture contents were lowest during spring, highest during winter and similar between summer and fall.

우리나라에서 전통주택(한옥) 및 목조건축 문화재의 구조부재로 많이 이용되는 소나무는 천연건조가 일반적이어서 건조에 많은 시간이 소요되고 건조가 불충분하면 수축에 의한 갈라짐 및 변형 등의 결함을 일으킬 수 있다. 소나무 소시험편과 대단면 시험편을 제작하여 함수율상태에 따른 수축률변화를 검토하였다. 특정 함수율 상태에서의 체적수축률을 예측할 경우, 생재상태에서 기건상태, 기건상태에서 전건상태까지의 구간으로 나누어 적용하는 것이 정밀도가 높았다. 변재의 체적수축률은 단면크기에는 상관성이 없으며, 심재는 단면이 커질수록 체적수축률이 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.

The purpose of the study was to perform research a proximate analyses and sensory evaluations for sulgidduk over a storage period, where the sulgidduk contained added with buchu powder added at 1%, 2%, and 3% concentrations. The general composition of the buchu powder was 34% crude protein, 1.8% crude lipid, and 21.8% crude fiber while the moisture contents of the buchu powder was 2.71%. The moisture contents of the sulgidduk samples over the storage period ranged from 34% to 38%. Color and moisture changes were not significant (p<0.05) during storage, while the values showed significant decreasing trends (p<0.05) with greater additions of buchu powder. In terms of textural characteristics, hardness, cohesiveness, gumminess, and chewiness decreased significantly (p<0.05) with greater concentrations of buchu power, while adhesiveness and springiness showed no significant differences(p<0.05). Based on the sensory evaluations, overall preference was high for the 3% buchu powder sample. This sample received high scores on flavor, color, taste, chewniess, and moisture, suggesting that adding 3% buchu powder would be feasible for making sulgidduk.

The purpose of this study is to clarify the mechanism of moisture transfer depend on the thickness of the spruce(Picea sitchensis Carr.). Therefore, as the basic research of moisture transmission, the amount of moisture transmission and the moisture distribution in specimens and temperature of it's surfaces in vapor transmission process were investigated. The experiment was conducted in a steady state. and the moisture distribution was measured by knife cutting and weighing the specimens. The following conclusions were obtained ; 1. It can be found that distribution of moisture in the specimen can be approximated by two different straight lines intersecting at nine or ten percent moisture content. The amount of moisture movement defends on the gradient of moisture in the wood. 2. It is investigated that the wood surface moisture contents(MCs) are less for thinner specimens than for thick ones on the absorption side. On the other hand, the wood surface MCs are greater for thinner specimens than for thick ones on the desorption side. The main factor that affects the EMC of wood would be temperature when the relative humidity of atmosphere is constant. The specimen generate heat with the absorption and desorption process. In addition, the velocities of moisture transmission varied with the thicknesses of specimens. If the temperature of wood becomes greater, its MC decreases. Then the difference between surface MC and EMC of adsorption and desorption side becomes greater for thinner specimens. Therefore it is considered that the coefficients of moisture transfer decreases with the increases of the specimens' thicknesses.

최근 10년간 전세계적으로 아스팔트 포장을 재활용하는 기술이 급속도로 확산되고 있으며 노후 아스팔트 포장을 폼드 아스팔트 또는 유화 아스팔트를 사용하여 현장에서 바로 100% 재활용하는 현장 상온 재생 아스팔트 포장기술이 다양하게 적용되고 있다. 특히, 아이오와 주에서는 교통량이 적은 지방도로에서 기존 포장의 수명을 연장 시켜주는 현장 상온 재생 아스팔트 공법을 많이 적용하고 있다. 일반적으로 현장 상온 재생 아스팔트 포장층은 수분의 침투나 교통하중으로부터 보호하거나 포장설계를 만족시키기 위해 가열 아스팔트 포장으로 덧씌우기를 한다. 일반적으로 현장 상온 재생 아스팔트 포장층 위에 가열 아스팔트 포장으로 덧씌우기 할 시기는 대부분에 감독자들은 일정한 양생기간 또는 최대 함수비에 근거하여 결정하고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 감독자가 최적에 덧씌우기 아스팔트 포장 시기를 결정할 수 있도록 현장 상온 재생 아스팔트 포장층의 현장 함수비를 간단하게 측정하여 덧씌우기 시기를 결정할 수 있는 수분 감소계수를 개발하는 것이다. 먼저, 현장 상온 재생 아스팔트 포장층의 함수비를 TDR 함수량계를 사용하여 측정하였고 현장 상온 재생 아스팔트 포장이 시공되는 기간 동안에 강우량, 대기온도, 습도, 바람속도 등 기상정보를 수집하였다. 마지막으로 현장 상온 재생 아스팔트 포장의 초기 함수비, 대기온도, 습도, 바람속도를 변수로 하는 수분 감소계수를 개발하였다. 실제 현장 상온 재생 아스팔트 포장에서 측정한 값을 사용하여 개발한 수분 감소계수는 감독자가 연속적으로 현장 상온 재생 아스팔트 포장층의 함수비를 측정하지 않고 최적의 덧씌우기 포장 시점을 결정할 수 있다.

온도와 수분함량의 상호작용이 들깨종자의 압착착유에 미치는 영향을 살펴보기 위하여 생들깨와 볶은들깨의 기름 추출율(REO) 및 압착케이의 부피변형율(VSPC)을 온도와 수분함량을 변화시켜가며 측정하였다. 본 실험을 위해 들깨종자의 수분함량을 2.5, 4.5, 6.5 및 8.5% (w.b.), 압착온도를 30, 40, 50 및 $60^{\circ}C$, 압착시간을 11분 그리고 압착압력을 50 MPa로 각각 조절하였다. 생들깨 및 볶은들깨의 REO 및 VSPC는 온가 낮을 때에는 수분함량이 높을수록 크게 나타났으나, 온도가 높을 때에는 수분함량이 낮을수록 크게 나타났다. 그러나 수분함량 8.5%에서는 온도에 관계없이 작았다. 압착요인과 REO 및 VSPC과의 관계를 분산분석한 결과 온도와 수분함량의 영향은 높은 유의성을 보여주었다. 또한 온도보다는 온도와 수분함량사이의 상호작용효과가 더 큰것으로 나타났다. 온도와 수분함량 사이의 상호작용이 가장 크게 나타난 구간은 본 실험조건의 모든 온도에서 수부함량 $2.5{\sim}4.5%$이었다. 최대 REO는 생들깨의 경우 수분함량 2.5%와 $60^{\circ}C$의 온도에서 84.4%이었고, 볶은들깨는 수분함량 6.5%와 $30^{\circ}C$의 온도에서 84.3% 이었다.

Gasification characteristics in the fluidized bed reactor are essential for the design of a gasification furnace to optimize the operation condition. Moisture content of the solid fuel is one of the important factors to influence directly the gasification characteristics. So it is necessary to investigate the effect of moisture content of solid fuel in partial oxidation condition. Gasification characteristics are investigated with results from thermogravimetric analyzer and lab-scale fluidized bed reactor for wood and RDF samples along with changing moisture contents. Additionally lab-scale fluidized bed reactor was run continuously and gas concentrations at the exit were measured. It is observed that the rate of reaction in partial oxidation condition is between the results from the combustion environment and from the inert condition. Moisture content in a particle slows down the heating rate of a particle. So, reaction is delayed by the moisture content. However, RDF samples those are easy to break-up don't show the effect of moisture content. The result of continuous operation condition shows that proper moisture content promotes gasification because steam from the particles helps gasification of the solid fuel. A simulation to predict the syn-gas composition was conducted by the Aspen Plus process simulator. The cold gas efficiency of the experiment was compared with results from the simulation.

Soil moisture, through its dominance in the exchange of energy and moisture between the land and atmosphere, plays a crucial role in influencing atmospheric circulation. To identify the crucial role, it is a common agreement that knowledge of land surface processes and development of remote sensing techniques are of great important scientific issues. This research uses TRMM satellite C band (10.65 GHz) data to retrieve soil moisture on the Tibetan Plateau in Mainland China. Two retrieval schemes that are implemented include the t-(J) model and the R model. The latter one is developed based on a land surface process and radiobrightness (R) model for bare soil and vegetated terrain. Compared with the in situ ground measurements, the soil moisture retrieved from the R model and the t-(J) model with vegetation information obviously appear more accurate than that derived from bare soil model. Retrieved soil moisture contents from the two inversion models, R model and t-(J) model, have a similar trend, but the former appears to be superior in terms of correlation coefficient and bias compared with in situ data. In the future, we will apply the R model with the TRMM 10.65 GHz brightness temperature to monitor long-term soil moisture variation over Tibet Plateau.

This study was carried out to know the difference of vapor transmission on the thickness of Paulownia wood(Paulownia tomentosa). The behavior of moisture transmission of wood thickness direction is generally estimated by vapor permeability and vapor transmission resistance. In general, Paulownia wood is known to use of inside material for furniture making, because of the excellent ability of vapor adsorption and/or desorption. Quarter sawing Paulownia wood material is prepared and the thickness is 6.0mm, 7.0mm, 8.0mm, 9.0mm, 10.0mm, respectively. The measurement of vapor transmission were conducted by the "cup method" in accordance with JIS(Japanese Industrial Standard) Z-0208. The experiment was made in the condition of 49.8mmHg vapor pressure difference and $40^{circ}C$ at constant temperature. From the experiment results, it was considered that Paulownia wood is very stable on moisture variation and any other material conditions. In this experiment we found that the vapor permeability and vapor permeance was reduced with the increase of wood thickness to vapor direction and vapor transmission resistance and specific vapor transmission resistance was increased with the increase of wood thickness to vapor direction. Besides moisture contents of adsorption and desorption side were about 5 percent and 14 percent, respectively. Mean value was 9.5 percent and about 10 percent in dry oven method. Moisture gradient was reduced with the increase of wood thickness for a small moisture difference of adsorption and desorption side.
