The purpose of this research was to investigate the effects of low concentration of oxygen on reduction of perchlorate, especially low perchlorate influent concentrations in a biofilm reactor, as well as the effect of flow pattern in a biofilm reactor. Dissolved oxygen averaging 1 mg/L did not inhibit reduction of influent perchlorate from 23 to $426\;{\mu}g/L$ in the biofilm reactors when sufficient acetate was added, probably due to limitation of oxygen diffusion into the biofilm. Influent perchlorate ranging from 23 to $426\;{\mu}g/L$ was reduced to below detection level ($4\;{\mu}g/L$) in the presence of 1 mg/L dissolved oxygen (DO). Chloride was produced in a ratio of $0.37gCl^-/g{ClO_4}^-$ and $0.35gCl^-/g{ClO_4}^-$ in plug flow and recirculation biofilm reactor which is similar to stoichiometric amount ($0.36gCl^-/g{ClO_4}^-$) indicating complete perchlorate reduction at $426\;{\mu}g/L$ of ${ClO_4}^-$ feeding. At $23\;{\mu}g/L$L influent perchlorate, total biomass solids were 3.18 g and 2.81 g in the plug flow and recirculation biofilm reactors. The most probable number(MPN) analysis for perchlorate-reducing bacteria showed $10^4$ to $10^5\;cells/cm^2$ in both biofilm reactors throughout the experiments. The effluent perchlorate concentrations were not significantly different in the two different flow regimes, plug flow and recirculation biofilm reactors.

유성이토는 현생 염하구 환경에서 흔히 발달하지만, 고기의 퇴적층에서 보고되고 퇴적학적으로 연구된 예는 드물다. 캐나다 앨버타주의 전기 백악기 맥머레이층에서 시추한 염하구 하도 퇴적층 내의 여러 이암층들은 고농도부유점토류에 의한 퇴적특징을 보인다. 이러한 이암층들을 현미경으로 자세히 관찰하여 3개의 미퇴적상(microfacies, <1~25 mm 두께)으로 구분하였다. 미퇴적상 1은 무구조의 이암(structureless mudstone)으로 주로 점토 입자로 구성되고 무질서하게 분포하는 조립질 입자(조립질 실트~세립질 모래)들을 포함한다. 조립질 입자들을 지지할 수 있는 양력을 지닌 점착성의 이토류, 즉 유성이토가 정지하여 미퇴적상 1이 퇴적된 것으로 해석된다(quasi-laminar plug flow). 미퇴적상 2는 실트엽층을 포함하는 이암(silt-streaked mudstone)으로 산재한 조립질 입자를 포함하는 이암으로 구성되며, 불연속적이고 매우 얇은 실트엽층을 포함한다. 미퇴적상 1과 유사한 조직을 보이므로, 미퇴적상 2도 점착성의 유성이토에 의해 퇴적된 것으로 해석된다. 하지만 불연속적인 실트엽층은 plug 아래에 간헐적이고 약한 난류운동이 있었음을 제시한다(upper transitional plug flow). 미퇴적상 3은 이질 엽층리의 이암(heterolithic laminated mudstone)으로 실트엽층과 점토엽층의 교호로 구성되며, 평행엽층리 또는 저각도 사엽층리를 보이고 간혹 낮은 기복의 연흔 형태를 보인다. 이질 엽층리는 점착성 plug 아래의 난류층에서 입자크기에 따른 분급작용이 일어났음을 지시하며, lower transitional plug flow 아래에서 발달하는 낮은 층면구조에 의해 형성되었을 것으로 해석된다. 이 미퇴적상들은 유속과 부유이토농도에 따라 달라지는 유성이토의 여러 가지 상을 나타낸다고 볼 수 있다. 다른 지역에서 유성이토층을 인지하고 이암의 퇴적작용을 보다 잘 이해하는데 본 연구의 결과가 중요한 지식을 제공하리라 생각된다.

자동차 엔진과 변속기 블록 등의 가공과정에서 잔류하는 기름때를 제거하기 위한 부품 세척장비는 정교한 제어장치 없이도 정확한 수류방향 절환이 원활히 이루지는 3 방향 절환밸브를 사용한다. 그러나, 밸브의 복잡한 유로 및 바텀플러그 형상으로 인해 유속변화가 심하게 발생하여 공동현상이 나타날 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 3 방향 절환밸브 내의 유동특성을 해석적으로 평가하였으며, 바텀플러그 하부에서 나타나는 공동현상을 공동화지표와 POC(Percent of cavitation)를 도입하여 정량화하였다. 공동현상의 저감을 위해 바텀플러그 형상을 매개변수화하고, 해석의 수렴성 개선과 해석시간을 단축시킬 수 있는 단순 유한요소모델을 이용하여 유동해석을 통한 형상최적설계를 실시하였다. 또한, 연구팀에서 보유하고 있는 유동시험설비와 ISA-RP75.23 규격에 맞게 제작된 시편을 이용하여 공동현상 가시화 실험을 실시하여 해석결과를 검증하였다.

A wind tunnel consisting of two air flow conditioners with polycarbonate pipes, a plant growth room, a suction fan and fan controller, and fluorescent lamps, was designed to investigate the interactions between the growth of plug seedlings under artificial light and their Physical environments. Light transmissivities in the plant growth room based on the photosynthetic photon flux density and photosynthetically active radiation was appeared to be 96.3% and 96.8%, respectively. Measurement showed a uniformity in the vertical profiles of air current speed at the middle and rear regions of plug trays in wind tunnel. This result indicated that the development of a wind tunnel based on the design criteria of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers was adequate. Air current speed inside the plug stand was significantly decreased due to the resistance by the leaves of plug seedlings and boundary layer developed over and below the plug stand. Driving force to facilitate the diffusion of gas inside the plug stand might be regarded as extremely low. Aerodynamic characteristics above the plug stand under artificial light were investigated. As the air current speed increased, zero plane displacement decreased but roughness length and frictional velocity increased. Zero plane displacement linearly increased with the average height of plug seedlings. The wind tunnel developed in this study would be useful to investigate the effects of air current speed on the microclimate over and inside the plug stand and to collect basic data for a large-scale plug production under artificial light in a semi-closed ecosystem.

An experiment was conducted to investigate whether an equation of heat transfer coefficient derived form energy equation of two-phase plug flow can be actually applied to the industrial field. The heat is constantly transfered to the sand beds from the wall of heat exchanger while the sand moves down through cylindrical heat exchanger by gravity from feed hooper. To increase heat transfer, turbulators such as glass ball and steel pipe packings were used. In addition, the experiment in the case of fluidizing the sand beds was also carried out. The temperatures of the sand beds and the wall were measured along the heat exchanger axis. The density and porosity of the sand beds were also measured. The deviations of the mean velocity of sands from the velocity on the wall surface because of the slip conditions on the wall were negligible (within 3%). The heat transfer coefficients when the turbulators were used and when the sand beds were fluidized were found to be much greater than those of the plain plug flow.

Better fundamental understanding of the interactions between the in-cylinder flows and combustion process is an important requirement for further improvement in the fuel economy and emissions of internal combustion(IC) engines. Flow near a spark plug at the time of ignition plays an important role for early flame kernel development(EFKD). Velocity data measurements in this study were made with a two-component laser Doppler velocimetry(LDV) near a spark plug in a single cylinder optical spark ignition(SI) engine with a heart-shaped combustion chamber. LDV velocity data were collected on an individual cycle basis under wide-open motored conditions with an engine speed of 1,000rpm. This study examines and compares the flow fields as interpreted through ensemble, cyclic and discrete wavelet transformation(DWT) analysis. The energy distributions in the non-stationary engine flows are also investigated over crank angle phase and frequency through continuous wavelet transformation(CWT) for a position near a spark plug. Wavelet analysis is appropriate for analyzing the flow fields in engines because it gives information about the transient events in a time and frequency plane. The results of CWT analysis are provided and compared with the mean flows of DWT first decomposition level for all cycles at a position. Low frequency high energy found with CWT corresponds well with the peak locations of the mean velocity. The high frequency flows caused by the intake jet gradually decay as the piston approaches the bottom dead center(BDC).

In this study, the variation of spark plug location in the combustion chamber was investigated for the sake of emission characteristics from SI engine by using PDA valve. The swirl is ong of the important parameters that effects emission characteristics. PDA valve has been used to satisfy the requirements of sufficient swirl generation to improve combustion and emission reduction to effect on flow profile on a combustion chamber. Especially, the variation of spark plug location have an important effect to analyze exhaust gas and the early flame propagative process. Therefore, this test is forced that injection timing, spark timing and intake air motion govern the stable combustion. From the results, it showed that the variable spark plug location and PDA valve can be reduced exhaust gas.

In this study, $CF_4$ decomposition was experimentally investigated in a high temperature flow reactor. Effects of temperature, reactant composition and concentration, and residence time on its decomposition into other stable species were analyzed. Then the results were compared to numerical results obtained using Chemkin Plug Flow Reactor model with Princeton Chemistry. As a preliminary result higher decomposition rate is obtained for higher reactor temperature and long residence time when proper reactants are supplied.
