This study is performed to evaluate the properties of ECO-permeable polymer concrete with blast furnace slag powder and stone dust. The unit weight is in the range of $1,821kg/m^3{\sim}1,955kg/m^3$, the unit weights of those concrete are decreased $15%{\sim}20.8%$ than that of the normal cement concrete. The highest strength is achieved by ECO-permeable polymer concrete filled blast furnace slag powder 50% and stone dust 50%, it is increased 36% by compressive strength, 119% by tensile strength and 217% by bending strength than that of the normal cement concrete, respectively. The coefficient of permeability is in the range of $5.6{\times}10^{-2}cm/s{\sim}8.1{\times}10^{-2}cm/s$, and it is largely dependent upon the mix design.

A cylindrical-shape, horizontal furnace was used to investigate the effect of particle size on the pulverized coal combustion behavior. Three differently-sized fractions (5, 30, and 44 microns in average diameter) of high-volatile bituminous coal, were burned in the test furnace. Ignition characteristics of pulverized coal flame were determined through the amount of methane in the carrier gas for the self-sustaining flame. Easiest ignition occurred with the immediately-sized coal particles. Ignition of coal jet flame appeared to occur through a gas-phase homogeneous process for particles larger than 30 microns. Below this limiting size, heterogeneous process probably dominated ignition of coal flame. Oxygen concentration of combustion air was varied up to 50%, to determine the oxygen-enrichment effect on the coal ignition behavior. Oxygen enrichment of primary air assisted ignition behavior of pulverized coal flame. However, enrichment of secondary air didn't produce any effect on the ignition behavior.

The particle size effect on the combustion characteristics of pulverized coal was investigated in the cylindrical-shape, horizontal furnace, fired in the range of 8.8∼10.6 kw. Three differently-sized fractions (5, 30, and 44 microns in average diameter) of high-volatile bituminous coal, were burned in the test furnace. Burnout behavior of pulverized coal flame were determined through the measurement of stable species concentrations (CO$_2$and H$_2$O). Concentrations of CO$_2$were compared with the theoretical values and the result showed good agreement. Thermal behavior of pulverized coal flame were determined as maximum flame temperatures occurred at fuel-rich conditions in every case. Flame lengths were also determined by decreasing with the particle size decrease. The flame length of the fine sized coal sample was comparable to that produced by distillate oil. The color of the coal flames ranged from orange to yellow, with the flame of the fine size fraction being brighter and yellower than the others.

Large steel industries have time-varying nonlinear loads such as electric arc furnaces. These nonlinear loads generate harmonic currents and create distortions on the sinusoidal voltage of the power system. The main objective of the static var compensator is to maintain the rms voltage at the point of common coupling within the limit. In this research, harmonic mitigation studies were conducted with and without the SVC, and time-varying harmonics were evaluated according to the international harmonic standards (IEC 61000-3-6 and IEEE Std. 519) using a cumulative probabilistic approach.

Boriding is one of the chemical methods to achieve the case hardening of steel as well as nitriding or carburizing. The surface layer of the borided steel shows higher hardness and exhibits better resistance to corrosion or fatigue than the nitrided or carburized steel. The great majority of previous studies were confined to mild steel or some alloy steel. To enlarge the application, ductile cast iron (DCI) as a material for boriding has been tried in this study. Thus, sliding wear test has conducted using a pin-on-disc machine to compare between borided DCI and mild steel in fluidized bed furnace. The results show that the wear resistance of borided DCI is improved. Especially it is more efficient in the case of occurence of the mechanical wear.

The objective of this study was to obtain basic data for the staged combustion toward the NOx reduction in coal combustion. Combustion and NOx emission/reduction were investigated by using DTF. NOx emission was decreased with decreasing air ratio and with increasing volatile content in coal. In particular, effective NOx reduction was achieved at high temperature at the onset of combustion with fuel rich condition.

Materials (refractory, stone) of iron making furnace excavated from Kalcheon were investigated by the scanning electron microscopy(SEM) with an energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX), X-ray fluorescence(XRF), and X-ray diffraction(XRD). Chemical composition of the refractory materials were $SiO_2(68.74\%),\;Al_2O_3(18.40\%),\;CaO(0.42\%),\;MgO(1.04\%)\;and\;K_2O(2.26\%)$ in weight ratio, which were the typical components presented in common clay. The results of chemical analysis for the stone and the glaze coated, alkali ion(K, Na, Ca) components of the glaze contained high concentration than that the stone. It was suggested that this change had a close relationship with the kinds of fuels used.

The purpose of this study is to formulate and solve the scheduling problem to heat-treatment process in forging process and apply it to industries. Heat-treatment is a common process in manufacturing heavy forged products in ship engines and wind power generators. Total complete time of the schedule depends on how to group parts and assign them into heat furnace. Efficient operation of heat-treatment process increases the productivity of whole production system while scheduling the parts into heat-treatment furnace is a combinatorial problem which is known as an NP-hard problem. So the scheduling, on manufacturing site, relies on engineers' experience. To improve heat-treatment process schedule, this study formulated it into an MIP mathematical model which minimizes total complete time. Three methods were applied to example problems and the results were compared to each other. In case of small problems, optimal solutions were easily found. In case of big problems, feasible solutions were found and that feasible solutions were very close to lower bound of the solutions. ILOG OPL Studio 5.5 was used in this study.

The present paper discusses thermal design parameters of different sizes of circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boilers with capacities ranging from 2 MWe pilot scale boiler to a 600 MWe utility boiler. Physical boiler size and shape of furnace were identified and dimensional data have been summarized. By performing thermal design for each of the boilers, heat transfer surface area, furnace shape and size, and allocation of heat transfer surface for water-steam side heat absorption have been recalculated, and presented. Although boilers may have significantly different capacity, the facilities have common design parameters, when they are evaluated as basic thermal design processes. The significance of thermal design procedure is explicitly discussed.

Tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy(TDLAS) measurement techniques for several gases densities and temperatures have been applied in industrial combustion systems. Accurate measurement of temperature profile is very important, especially in power plants and heating furnaces. So profile fitting and temperature binning methods are new issue for accurate measurement of temperature in laser gas sensing. Temperature binning method is applied in this study for the measurement of temperature profile using tube furnace with three temperature zones. In this study the temperature profiles of tube furnace is accurately measured within 5% error, and this technique is proved to be very promising in the field of temperature profile measurement.
