In this study, a newly developed biotrickling system, combined with a non-thermal plasma reactor, was investigated to effectively treat gaseous contaminants such as VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds). Three kinds of non-thermal plasmas (NTPs) such as a rod type dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma, a packed bead type DBD plasma and a gliding arc (GA) plasma, were tested and compared in terms of power consumption. The rod type DBD plasma was selected as one for integration with biotrickling system due to its relatively high VOC removal efficiency, low power consumption and low pressure drop. Toluene and xylene as representatives of VOCs were used as test gases. The experiment results showed that the efficiency of biotrickling system was especially very low at the high gas concentration and high flow rate and the removal efficiencies of VOCs were considerably enhanced in the biotrickling system, when the DBD plasma was worked in front of that even at the high gas concentration and high flow rate.

The present study has been performed to investigate the thermal characteristics of under-ventilated compartment fire which is a typical fire condition in structures. A series of fire experiments was conducted to characterize the thermally driven flow in a 2/5 scale ISO 9705 fire compartment. Three different fuels were used in this test series, methane gas, heptane pool, and polystyrene pellets fire. In order to measure accurate temperature, double shield aspirated thermocouples reducing the effect of radiative energy exchange on temperature measurement were used in addition to bare bead thermocouples. The upper layer temperature for well ventilated fire was increased with increasing heat release rate, but it was slightly decreased for under-ventilated fire. The measured temperatures in the upper layer at the front sampling location were higher than at the rear. Thermal characteristics through the doorway were also analysed for a wide range of heat release rates. This study provides a comprehensive and quantitative assessment of fire behavior for under-ventilation condition of fire.

양면에서 텅스텐 램프를 조사하는 실리콘 재결정시의 SOI(silicon-on-insulator) 다층구조에 대한 1차원적 온도 및 열원(열원)의 분포를 SOR(successive over-relaxation)방법을 이용하여 정상상태의 열방정식의 해로부터 구하였다. 열원의 분포는 광원의 스펙트럼, SOI sample 내부 계면에서의 다중반사, 광흡수 계수의 온도, 주파수 의존성 등을 고려하여 구하였으며, 열 방정식의 경계조건이 되는 wafer의 전면과 후면의 온도는 혹체복사 조건으로부터 구하였다. 내부계면에서는 전도열속(conduction heat flux)과 복사열속(radiation heat flux)에 의한 연속조건을 만족하도록 하였다. 본 문제에서의 온도분포와 열원의 분포는 상호간에 큰 영향을 주게 되므로, 두가지 변수가 일치되는 값을 보일 때까지 iteration을 계속하였다. Pyrometer을 이용하여 측정한 wafer 전면의 온도는 약1200°K이었고 이때의 simulation 결과는 1120°K 정도로 나타났다.

Background: Concrete activation in cyclotron vaults is a major concern associated with their decommissioning because a considerable amount of activated concrete is generated by secondary neutrons during the operation of cyclotrons. Reducing the amount of activated concrete is important because of the high cost associated with radioactive waste management. This study aims to investigate the capability of the neutron absorbing materials to reduce concrete activation. Materials and Methods: The Particle and Heavy Ion Transport code System (PHITS) code was used to simulate a cyclotron target and room. The dimensions of the room were 457 cm (length), 470 cm (width), and 320 cm (height). Gd₂O₃, B₄C, polyethylene (PE), and borated (5 wt% ^natB) PE with thicknesses of 5, 10, and 15 cm and their different combinations were selected as neutron absorbing materials. They were placed on the concrete walls to determine their effects on thermal neutrons. Thin B₄C and Gd₂O₃ were placed between the concrete wall and additional PE shield separately to decrease the required thickness of the additional shield, and the thermal neutron flux at certain depths inside the concrete was calculated for each condition. Subsequently, the optimum combination was determined with respect to radioactive waste reduction, price, and availability, and the total reduced radioactive concrete waste was estimated. Results and Discussion: In the specific conditions considered in this study, the front wall with respect to the proton beam contained radioactive waste with a depth of up to 64 cm without any additional shield. A single layer of additional shield was inefficient because a thick shield was required. Two-layer combinations comprising 0.1- or 0.4-cm-thick B₄C or Gd₂O₃ behind 10 cm-thick PE were studied to verify whether the appropriate thickness of the additional shield could be maintained. The number of transmitted thermal neutrons reduced to 30% in case of 0.1 cm-thick Gd₂O₃+10 cm-thick PE or 0.1 cm-thick B₄C+10 cm-thick PE. Thus, the thickness of the radioactive waste in the front wall was reduced from 64 to 48 cm. Conclusion: Based on price and availability, the combination of the 10 cm-thick PE+0.1 cmthick B₄C was reasonable and could effectively reduce the number of thermal neutrons. The amount of radioactive concrete waste was reduced by factor of two when considering whole concrete walls of the PET cyclotron vault.

A satellite tracked drifter experiment was conducted to observe thermal structure and surface circulation in the northeastern East China Sea. For this experiment, four ADOS buoys, assembled with surface float and thermister chain, were deployed on August 2007 in southern Jeju-do, where the Kuroshio Branch Current is separated from the main stream. Thermal structure in the upper layer of the northeastern East China Sea was successfully observed during the following $1{\sim}3$ months. Strong thermo-haline front in a northeast-southwest direction was observed. In the frontal zone, warm and saline Kuroshio origin water intermixes with fresher coastal water and flows toward the Korean Strait. Typhoon Nari, which passed over the East China Sea 20 days after commencement of study, caused distinct signals in the thermal structure and trajectory of buoys. During the typhoon, surface temperature abruptly dropped to about $4^{\circ}C$, while the thermocline formed at $30{\sim}50$ m depth vanished due to strong vertical mixing. Internal inertial oscillation occurred several days after the typhoon. The fortuitous occurrence of typhoon Nari showed that ADOS buoys can provide useful and accurate air-sea interaction data during typhoons.

The effect of thermal anneal on the characteristics of structural properties and the enhancement of luminescence and photovoltaic (PV) characteristics of silicon-rich silicon-nitride films were investigated. By using an ultra high vacuum ion beam sputtering deposition, B-doped silicon-rich silicon-nitride (SRSN) thin films, with excess silicon content of 15 at. %, on P-doped (n-type) Si substrate was fabricated, sputtering a highly B doped Si wafer with a BN chip by N plasma. In order to examine the influence of thermal anneal, films were then annealed at different temperature up to $1100^{\circ}C$ under $N_2$ environment. Raman, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoemission spectroscopy did not show any reliable evidence of amorphous or crystalline Si clusters allowing us concluding that nearly no Si nano-cluster could be formed through the precipitation of excess Si from SRSN matrix during thermal anneal. Instead, results of Fourier transform infrared and X-ray photoemission spectroscopy clearly indicated that defective, amorphous Si-N matrix of films was changed to be well-ordered thanks to high temperature anneal. The measurement of spectral ellipsometry in UV-visible range was carried out and we found that the optical absorption edge of film was shifted to higher energy as the anneal temperature increased as the results of thermal anneal induced formation of $Si_3N_4$-like matrix. These are consistent with the observation that higher visible photoluminescence, which is likely due to the presence of Si-N bonds, from anneals at higher temperature. Based on these films, PV cells were fabricated by the formation of front/back metal electrodes. For all cells, typical I-V characteristic of p-n diode junction was observed. We also tried to measure PV properties using a solar-simulator and confirmed successful operation of PV devices. Carrier transport mechanism depending on anneal temperature and the implication of PV cells based on SRSN films were also discussed.

본 연구에서는 암석 열전도도 측정을 위해 많이 사용하고 있는 Laser flash method와 Divided-bar method의 장단점을 비교 분석하여 자체 제작한 Divided-bar apparatus의 적용 가능성을 분석하고자 하였다. Laser flash method는 비접촉식으로 아주 작은 시료(두께 3 mm 이하)에 적합하며, 높은 온도($25^{\circ}C{\sim}200^{\circ}C$)의 범위까지 비열, 열확산률, 열전도도 측정이 가능하다. 시료의 조건은 물질이 균등, 균일해야 한다. 반면 Divided-bar method는 주로 상온에서 열전도도만 측정할 수 있다. 밀도가 낮고 공극이 큰 12개의 암석 시료를 두 가지 방법으로 측정 분석해 보았다. Laser flash method로 측정한 결과, 암석 시료 표면의 공극 분포가 일정하지 않으며, 광물 조성이 균등, 균일하지 않아 표면에 laser pulse로 열을 가할 때 반사 및 산란작용의 영향으로 시료 전면과 반대면으로 측정했을 때의 열전도도 차이가 0.001~0.140 W/mK 범위, 표준편차 0.003~0.089 W/mK 범위로 나타났다. divided-bar apparatus의 경우, 비교적 두꺼운 암석 시료를 측정할 수 있어 암석 열전도도 대표성이 높고, 시료를 밀착하여 열전달을 하므로 전면과 반대면으로 측정했을 때의 열전도도 차이는 0.001~0.016 W/mK, 표준편차 0.001~0.034 W/mK 범위로 Laser flash method에 비해 비교적 안정된 값을 보인다.

This study has focused on manufacturing technique of powder injection molding of watch case made from zirconia powder. A series of computer simulation process was applied to prediction of the flow pattern in the inside of the mould to clarifying the change of sintering shrinkage depended on flow direction. The material properties of melted feedstock inclusive of the PVT graph and thermal viscosity flowage properties were measured for obtaining the input data in computer simulation. Also, molding experiment was conducted and the results of experiment showed that good agreement with simulation results for flow pattern and weld line location. On the other hand, gravity and inertia effect have an influence on velocity of melt front because of high density of ceramic powder particles in powder injection molding against the polymer injection molding process. In the experiment, the position of melt front was compared with upper gate and lower gate position. The gravity and inertia effect could be confirmed in the experimental results.

The thermal oxidation of Ge$_{0.2}$Si$_{0.8}$ in wet ambient has been investigated by Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry(RBS). A uniform Ge$_{0.2}$Si$_{0.8}$O$_{2}$ oxide is formed at temperatures below 650.deg. C for polycrystalline and below 700.deg. C for single crystalline substrates. At higher temperatures Ge becomes depleted from the oxide and finally SiO$_{2}$ oxide is formed with Ge piled-ub behind it. The transition between the different oxide types depends also on the crystallinity of Ge$_{0.2}$Si$_{0.8}$. When a uniform Ge$_{0.2}$Si$_{0}$8/O$_{2}$ oxide grows, its thickness is proportional to the square root of the oxidation time, which suggests that the rate noting process is the diffusive transport of oxidant across the oxide. It is believed the oxidation is controlled by the competition between the diffusion of Ge or Si in Ge$_{0.2}$Si$_{0.8}$ and the movement of oxidation front.t.oxidation front.t.
