A novel particle removal system for air handling unit (AHU) of subway station was evaluated experimentally. The novel system was designed in order to minimize the maintenance cost by applying axial-flow cyclones. The system consists of multiple cyclone units and dust trap. Based on our previous numerical study, it was found to be effective for removal $1\sim10{\mu}m$ sized dust particles. In this study, we manufactured the mock-up model and evaluated the model experimentally. Liquid and solid test particles were generated for evaluating collection efficiency of the system and the pressure drop was monitored. The collection efficiency was varied from 41.2% to 85.9% with increasing the sizes of particle from 1 to $6.5{\mu}m$ by particle count ratio of inlet and outlet. The pressure drop was maintained constant less than $20mmH_2O$. In addition, the collection efficiency was estimated by total mass for solid test particles. It was found that the collection efficiency was 65.7% by particle mass ratio of inlet and outlet. It shows that present system can replace current pre-filters used in subway HVAC system for removing particulate matters with minimal operational cost.

서울시 25개 자치구는 수거거점 확보, 수거시스템과 처리시스템의 연결, 간이 선별 등을 목적으로 생활폐기물 적환장을 운영하고 있다. 그러나 적환장시스템이 효율적으로 운영 가능한 총운반거리 등 구체적인 적환장 운영조건에 대해 분석한 국내사례는 없다. 본 연구는 적환장 운영 여부, 발생원으로부터 적환장까지의 운반거리, 적환장의 건물형태 등을 변화시키면서 수거비용의 변화를 관찰하였다. 그 결과 적환장이 쓰레기 배출원에 근접할수록, 적환장의 건설비가 저렴할수록 수거비용은 감소하였고, 건물 없는 적환장의 확보가 가능한 지역은 총운반거리가 15 km이상만 되어도 적환장을 운영하는 것이 운영하지 않는 경우보다 유리한 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 지하시설물로 적환장을 확보해야하는 지역에서는 유효한 총운반거리가 35 km이상으로 늘어났다.

Recently, there has been much research on the effect of ultrafine dust on human body with increasing interest in the ultrafine dust. In the Republic of Korea, there are many old thermal power plants, and the amount of ultrafine dust emitted from the thermal power plants is reported to be about 14% of the total amount of domestic fine dust. Therefore, the amount of fine dust from the flue gas desulfurization facility in the thermal power plant needs be reduced. In this study, we made an experimental setup to simulate a flue gas desulfurization facility and analyzed the physical characteristics of the particles passing through a mist eliminator. Experiments were carried out to investigate the collection efficiency of the mist eliminator by using the Arizona Test Dust in a dry environment, and then spraying limestone slurry into the flue gas desulfurization system equipped with the mist eliminator to examine the size and morphology of limestone particles upstream and downstream of the mist eliminator. Cut-off size of the mist eliminator was formed at about $6{\mu}m$. The result of this study is expected to be helpful for designing an electrostatic precipitator for removing particles passing through the mist eliminator.

The aerodynamic effects of leading-edge accretion can raise important safety concerns since the formulation of ice causes severe degradation in aerodynamic performance as compared with the clean airfoil. The objective of this study is to develop a numerical simulation strategy for predicting the particle trajectory around an MS-0317 airfoil in the test section of the NASA Glenn Icing Research Tunnel and to investigate the impingement characteristics of droplets on the airfoil surface. In particular, predictions of the mean velocity and turbulence diffusion using turbulent flow solver and Continuous Random Walk method were desired throughout this flow domain in order to investigate droplet dispersion. The collection efficiency distributions over the airfoil surface in simulations with different numbers of droplets, various integration time-steps and particle sizes were compared with experimental data. The large droplet impingement data indicated the trends in impingement characteristics with respect to particle size ; the maximum collection efficiency located at the upper surface near the leading edge, and the maximum value and total collection efficiency were increased as the particle size was increased. The extent of the area impinged on by particles also increased with the increment of the particle size, which is similar as compared with experimental data.

DOS and NaCl aerosol particles were used to determine collection efficiencies of a 2-stage electrostatic wet scrubber with respect to particle size. The DOS and NaCl aerosols have geometric mean diameters of 0.1-3.0 urn, geometric standard deviations of $1.1{\sim}1.8$ and total number concentrations of $450{\sim}2,400\;particles/cm^3$. The tested operating variables for the electrostatic wet scrubber included air velocity and water injection rate. It was shown from the experimental results that particle collection efficiencies increased in the submicron particle size range when different polarities were applied on the water nozzle and corona wire, respectively. This increase in the collection efficiency is attributed to strong electrostatic attraction between the negative water droplets and positive submicron particles. The collection efficiencies also increased when water injection rate was increased or air velocity was decreased. Meanwhile, the pressure drop across the wet scrubber decreased by 90% compared with the existing mechanical wet scrubber. Finally, ammonia gas was used to determine gas removal efficiencies. It was observed that the gas removal efficiencies increased when the air velocity was decreased or the water injection rate was increased.

This paper describes blower performance characteristics of a automated vacuum waste collection system. Blowers serially connected to six or seven centrifugal blowers are evaluated by experimental measurements to understand blower performances according to blower numbers operated. Two different blowers and duct diameters connected to the main blowers are considered. Data acquisition system is introduced to measure pressure and pressure difference at the main duct simultaneously, which is connected to several blowers serially. A auxiliary blower, which is installed between a filter room and an air deodorizing apparatus, is also added to simulate its performance effect on the main blower. Throughout the experimental measurements of the blower system, it is found that pressure and inlet velocity at the upstream of a blower increase 3.7 and 2.4 times separately by increasing the operating blower numbers from one to seven. It is noted that blower efficiency and pressure measured at the system vary according to the distance between a air intake and a blower system. Auxiliary blower is effective to increase blower inlet suction pressure, while total energy consumption is increased relatively.

Using 200 porcine colon tissues, the efficiencies of three isolation methods of Campylobacter from porcine intestines were compared: Method 1, direct streaking of colon mucosa; Method 2, direct inoculation of intestinal contents with a swab; Method 3, inoculation of pre-enriched medium. A total of 460 Campylobacter isolates were obtained from 178 samples (89%) by direct streaking of colon mucosa, 142 samples (71%) by direct streaking of a swab, and 94 samples (47%) by pre-enrichment of intestinal contents in Preston broth. Direct streaking of colon mucosa was superior to the other two isolation methods, in terms of rapidity and higher efficiency. When isolates were identified with various biochemical tests and PCRs specific to 16s rRNA, mapA, and ceuE, C. coli was the predominant species (87%) in porcine, whereas the rest of the isolates were identified as C. lanienae.

근래에 미세먼지가 대기환경 관련하여 이슈가 되고 있으며, 초미세먼지의 효과적인 집진을 위하여 대용량화가 용이한 여과집진기가 상업적으로 사용될 수 있는지에 대한 평가가 필요하다. 실험실 규모의 여과집진 장치를 제작하여, PTFE 재질의 부직포 여과백 또는 PTFE membrane이 코팅된 PTFE 재질의 부직포 여과백에서의 미세먼지 집진특성을 파악하기 위하여 집진실험을 수행하였다. 실험 변수로 여과속도, 투입 먼지 농도, 입도분포가 다른 먼지 종류 등을 사용한 실험에서, 여과속도가 낮을수록, 먼지 투입농도가 높을수록, 평균입도가 클수록 집진효율이 높았으며, 여과속도가 높고, 먼지 투입농도가 높을수록 압력손실이 높게 나타났다. Pore size가 상대적으로 작은 PTFE membrane이 코팅된 여과백을 사용한 경우, 코팅이 되지 않은 여과백을 사용한 경우에 비하여 집진효율이 높고, 표면여과에 따른 포집 먼지층 저항계수가 낮아져 압력손실이 낮게 나타났다. PTFE membrane이 코팅된 여과백을 사용하여 off-line 탈진을 수행할 경우, 적정 여과속도 범위 내에서 $PM_{2.5}$에 대한 집진효율이 99.99% 이상으로 매우 높게 유지됨에 따라, 여과집진기를 사용하여 초미세먼지를 효과적으로 집진할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Background: This study aims to develop a "Predictive Model for the Possibility of Collection Delinquent Health Insurance Contributions" for the National Health Insurance Service to enhance administrative efficiency in protecting and collecting contributions from livelihood-type defaulters. Additionally, it aims to establish customized collection management strategies based on individuals' ability to pay health insurance contributions. Methods: Firstly, to develop the "Predictive Model for the Possibility of Collection Delinquent Health Insurance Contributions," a series of processes including (1) analysis of defaulter characteristics, (2) model estimation and performance evaluation, and (3) model derivation will be conducted. Secondly, using the predictions from the model, individuals will be categorized into four types based on their payment ability and livelihood status, and collection strategies will be provided for each type. Results: Firstly, the regression equation of the prediction model is as follows: phat = exp (0.4729 + 0.0392 × gender + 0.00894 × age + 0.000563 × total income - 0.2849 × low-income type enrollee - 0.2271 × delinquency frequency + 0.9714 × delinquency action + 0.0851 × reduction) / [1 + exp (0.4729 + 0.0392 × gender + 0.00894 × age + 0.000563 × total income - 0.2849 × low-income type enrollee - 0.2271 × delinquency frequency + 0.9714 × delinquency action + 0.0851 × reduction)]. The prediction performance is an accuracy of 86.0%, sensitivity of 87.0%, and specificity of 84.8%. Secondly, individuals were categorized into four types based on livelihood status and payment ability. Particularly, the "support needed group," which comprises those with low payment ability and low-income type enrollee, suggests enhancing contribution relief and support policies. On the other hand, the "high-risk group," which comprises those without livelihood type and low payment ability, suggests implementing stricter default handling to improve collection rates. Conclusion: Upon examining the regression equation of the prediction model, it is evident that individuals with lower income levels and a history of past defaults have a lower probability of payment. This implies that defaults occur among those without the ability to bear the burden of health insurance contributions, leading to long-term defaults. Social insurance operates on the principles of mandatory participation and burden based on the ability to pay. Therefore, it is necessary to develop policies that consider individuals' ability to pay, such as transitioning livelihood-type defaulters to medical assistance or reducing insurance contribution burdens.
