바이오필터에서 폐가스에 포함된 유기오염물을 제거하는 효율에 대한 미디움 흡착능력의 영향을 포괄하는 강인한 동적 바이오필터 모델링을 수행하였다. 특히 비정상상태의 운전 조건 하에서도 바이오필터에 의해 처리된 폐가스 내의 유기오염물 농도를 구하기 위한 바이오막, 가스상, 수착(sorption) 부피 및 흡착상의 네가지 모델요소로 구성된 독창적인 모델인 개선된 프로세스럼핑 모델을 제시하였다. 이전의 프로세스럼핑모델에서는 담체에 대한 VOC의 평형 흡착량이 담체의 수착부피 내의 용존 VOC 농도에 선형적으로 비례한다는 가정 하에서 식을 유도하였으므로, 폐가스 처리에 적용이 제한적이었다. 따라서 실제 적용을 위해서 Freundlich 식과 같은 흡착관계식을 프로세스럼핑 모델에 접합하여 모든 농도의 VOC의 경우에 유효한 강인한 프로세스럼핑 모델을 구축하였다. 프로세스럼핑 모델 파라미터 중에서 바이오필터 미디움의 흡착과 관련한 파라미터 값들을 선행논문의 동적 흡착칼럼실험 및 문헌을 통하여 구하였다. 또한 에탄올을 포함한 폐가스처리를 위한 비정상상태의 바이오필터실험을 수행하였고, 그 실험결과와 여러 가지 Thiele modulus(${\phi}$) 값을 가지는 동적 바이오필터모델링 예측 값과 비교하였다. 이때에 구하여진 Thiele modulus(${\phi}$) 값은 0.03에 근접하였다.

The relationship between mass transfer and reaction within the washcoat is investigated in a monolith type micro-scale Pt-catalytic combustor. Nondimensionalized balance equation of butane is applied in a simplified washcoat geometry having the shape of slab. Both Thiele modulus and effectiveness factor are considered to compare reaction rate and diffusion rate according to the operation temperature and the diameter of alumina nano-pores. The effect of reaction becomes stronger as the temperature increases, while the effect of diffusion becomes relatively dominant as the diameter of nano-pores increases. From the analysis of butane distribution within the washcoat, design criterion for the thickness of washcoat is discussed.

A mathematical model was written for simulating the removal of phenol from wastewater in enzyme-loaded membrane reactor (EMR). The numerical simulation program was developed so as to predict the degradation of phenol through an EMR. Numerical model proves to be effective in searching for optimal operating conditions and creating an optimal microenvironment for the biocatalyst in order to optimize productivity. In this study, several dimensionless parameters such as Thiele Modulus (${\phi}^2$, dimensionless Michaelis-Menten constant ($\xi$), Peclet number (Pe) were introduced to simplify their effects on system efficiency. In particular, the study of phenol conversion at different feed compositions shows that low phenol concentrations and high Thiele Modulus values lead to higher reactant degradation.

Enhanced approach using computational and experimental method is proposed and performed to describe very well the behavior of loudspeaker than conventional method. Proposed procedure is composed of four parts. First, Thiele-Small parameters for test loudspeaker are identified by an electrical impedance method like as a delta mass method. Second part includes the processes to measure physical properties. Physical data like masses and thicknesses of loudspeaker's components are measured by an electrical precision scale and a digital vernier caliper. Third, the identified Thiele-Small parameters are proposed to be used as load boundary conditions for vibration analysis instead of electromagnetic circuit analysis to get a driving force upon bobbin part. Also, these parameters and physical data are used to modify physical properties required for computation to accommodate simulated sound pressure level with measured one for loudspeaker enclosure system. These data like as Young's modulus and thickness for a diaphragm are required for vibration analysis of loudspeaker but not measured accurately. Finally, it was investigated that simulated sound pressure level with full acoustic modeling including an acoustic port for test loudspeaker agreed with experimental result very well in the midrange frequency band(from 100 Hz to 2,000 Hz). In addition, several design parametric study is performed to grasp acoustical behaviors of loudspeaker system due to variations of diaphragm thicknesses and shapes of dust cap.

In semiconductor industries, dissolved oxygen is one of the most undesirable contaminants of ultrapure water. A method for dissolved oxygen removal (DOR) consists in the use of polymeric hollow fibres, loaded with a catalyst and fed with a reducing agent such as hydrogen. In this work, PVDF hollow fibres loaded with Pd were characterized by means of perporometry, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX). The hollow fibre analyzed shows a five-layer structure with remarkable morphological differences. An estimation of pore diameters and their distribution was performed giving a mean pore diameter of 100 nm. The permeance and selectivity of the fibres were measured using $H_2,\;N_2,\;O_2$ as single gases, at different operating conditions. An $H_2$ permeance of $37 mmol/m^2s$ was measured and $H_2/O_2$ and $H_2/N_2$ selectivities of ca. 3 were obtained. $H_2$ permeance was 1/3 when a water stream flows in the shell side. Catalytic fibrebehaviour was simulated using a mathematical model for a loop membrane reactor, considering only $O_2$ and $H_2$ diffusive transport inside the membrane and their catalytic reaction. Dimensionless parameters such as the Thiele modulus are employed to describe the system behaviour. The model agrees well with the experimental reaction data.
