Water mist fire suppression systems which use relatively small droplets of water with high injection pressure are increasingly being used in wider applications because of its greater efficiency, low flooding damage and low toxicity. However, the performance of the system significantly relies on the water mist characteristics and it requires better understanding of fire suppression mechanism of water mist. In the present study, computational fluid dynamics simulations were carried out to investigate cooling performance of water mist in heated chamber. The gas phase was prepared with natural convection heat transfer model for incompressible ideal case and then the effects of water mist injection characteristics on cooling capabilities were investigated upon the basis of the pre-determined temperature field. For the simulation of water mist behavior, Lagrangian discrete phase model was employed by using a commercial code, FLUENT. Smaller droplet sizes, greater injection angles and higher flow rates provided relatively higher cooling performance.

Studies were carried out to standardize and develop a suitable macro-propagation technology for large scale production of superior clonal stock through stem cuttings in Commiphora wightii Arnott (Bhandari), a data deficient medicinal plant of arid region. For the purpose, three experiments were conducted. The first experiment was tried to elucidate the impact of various cutting diameters (0.50-0.75 cm, 0.75-1.00 cm, 1.00-1.50 cm, and >1.50 cm) in combination with varying growing conditions (sunlight, shade house and mist chamber) on shoot sprouting and rooting without using exogenous plant growth regulators. Cutting diameter (size 0.75-1.00 cm) in mist chamber has shown maximum sprouting (90.00%) and rooting (73.33%), primary root (6.67) and secondary root (16.67) followed by 1.00-1.51 cm in mist chamber. Minimum sprouting (40.00%), rooting (33.33%), number of shoot (1.33), primary root (1.00) and number of secondary root (1.00) was recorded in cutting diameter (size >1.50 cm) in sunlight. Second experiment was performed to find out optimum growth regulator concentration of rooting hormone (100, 200, 500 and 1000 ppm) of Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and Indole-3-butyric Acid (IBA) on adventitious root formation on cuttings diameter (size 0.25-0.50 cm) in comparison to control. Maximum rooting percentage (93.33%) was recorded in 200 ppm followed by 500 ppm (86.66%) of IBA as compared to control, which showed only 60 per cent sprouting. Third experiment was performed with newly formed juvenile micro-cuttings treated with varying concentrations of IAA and IBA. The juvenile cuttings (size 6-10 cm, basal dia <0.25 cm) were selected as micro-cuttings. The cuttings treated with IBA (500 ppm) showed 64.30% rooting as compared to other treatments. Results of above experiments indicate that cuttings (size 0.75-1.00 cm dia) may be developed in mist chamber for better performance. While using heavier cuttings, no growth promoting hormones is required however; growth regulator 200 ppm concentration of IBA rooting hormone was observed optimum for promoting macro-propagation in stem cuttings of lower diameter class (0.25-0.50 cm).

An experimental study is performed for extinguishing of n-heptane pool fire by water mist containing potassium acetate as a fire suppression additive. Water mist was generated by a single pressure nozzle in a small-scale chamber. The drop size distribution of water mist was measured using laser diffraction(Malvern particle sizer). The flame temperature, oxygen concentration and carbon monoxide concentration were measured. In case of using additives, the fire extinguishing time was shorter than that of pure water at a given discharge pressure and it was because the momentum of a water droplet containing additives was increased. And also dissociated metal atoms, potassium, were reacted as a scavenger of the major radical species OH, H which were generated for combustion process. Moreover, at a high pressure of 4MPa, the fire was extinguished through blowing effect as well as primary extinguishing mechanisms.

An intercomparison experiment was implemented to assess the uncertainties and precisions om atmospheric SO$_{2}$ measurement techiques including a pulsed fluorescence (P-F), a diffusion-scrubber /ion chromatography (D-I), and a mist-chamber/ion chromatography (M-I). Each of those three techniques was investigated by researchers at Seoul National University, Yonsei University, and Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, respectively. The concentrations of atmospheric SO$_{2}$ were determined concurrently using three independent measurement techniques at the Seoul National University campus, Korea during Nov.22 to Dec.2, 1995. While the results from the P-F and D-I techinques showed the very close agreements (within +-5%) throughout the experiment period, M-I technique showed systematically smaller values (up to 30%) than the other two techniques. Although sources of larger discrepancy between different techniques were mot identified, the lower SO$_{2}$ values of the M-I method may be related to the errors associated with sample collection effciency, mass flow rate measurements, and standardization of ion chromatography.

Man-In-Simulant Test(MIST) provides a test method to evaluate chemical protective equipments such as protective garments, gloves, footwear and gas mask. The MIST chamber is built to control concentration of chemical vapor that has a activity space for two persons. Non-toxic methyl-salicylate(MeS) is used to simulate chemical agent vapor. We carried out to measure inward leakage MeS vapors by using passive adsorbent dosimeter(PAD) which are placed on the skin at specific locations of the body while man is activity according to the standard procedure in MIST chamber. But more time is required for PADs and there is concern of contamination in PADs by recovering after experiment. Therefore detector for measuring in real time is necessary. In order to analyze in real time the contamination of the personal protective equipment inside the chemical environment, we have developed a wireless real-time gas detector. The detector consists of 8 gas-sensors and 1 control-board. The control-board includes a CPU for processing a signal, a power supply unit for biasing the sensor and Bluetooth-chipset for transmission of signals to external PC. All signals from gas-sensors are converted into digital signals simultaneously in the control-board. These digital signals are stored in external PC via Bluetooth wireless communication. The experiment is performed by using protective equipment worn on manikin. The detector is mounted inside protective equipment which is capable of providing a real-time monitoring inward leakage MeS vapor. Developed detector is demonstrated the feasibility as real-time detector for MIST.

According to a NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies report, temperatures have risen by approximately 1℃ so far, based on temperatures recorded in 1880. The 2003 heatwave in Europe affected approximately 35,000 people across Europe. In this study, a cooling fog, which is used in smart cities, was designed to efficiently reduce the temperature during a heatwave and its pilot test results were interpreted. A model experiment of the cooling fog was conducted using a chamber, in which nano mist spray instruments and spray nozzles were installed. The designed cooling fog chamber model showed a temperature reduction of up to 13.8℃ for artificial pavement and up to 8.0℃ for green surfaces. However, this model was limited by constant wind speed in the experiment. Moreover, if the cooling fog is used when the wind speed is more than 3m/s in the active green zone, the temperature reduction felt by humans is expected to be even greater. As a second study, the effect of cooling fog on temperature reduction was analyzed by installing a pilot test inside the Land Housing Institute (LHI). The data gathered in this research can be useful for the study of heat reduction techniques in urban areas.

MgO based nanocomposite powder including ferromagnetic iron particle dispersions, which can be available for the magnetic and catalytic applications, was fabricated by the spray pyrolysis process using ultra-sonic atomizer and reduction processes. Liquid source was prepared from iron (Fe)-nitrate, as a source of Fe nano-dispersion, and magnesium (Mg)-nitrate, as a source of MgO materials, with pure water solvent. After the chamber were heated to given temperatures (500~$^800{\circ}C$), the mist of liquid droplets generated by ultrasonic atomizer carried into the chamber by a carrier gas of air, and the ist was decomposed into Fe-oxide and MgO nano-powder. The obtained powders were reduced by hydrogen atmosphere at 600~$^800{\circ}C$. The reduction behavior was investigated by thermal gravity and hygrometry. After reduction, the aggregated sub-micron Fe/MgO powders were obtained, and each aggregated powder composed of nano-sized Fe/MgO materials. By the difference of the chamber temperature, the particle size of Fe and MgO was changed in a few 10 nm levels. Also, the nano-porous Fe-MgO sub-micron powders were obtained. Through this preparation process and the evaluation of phase and microstructure, it was concluded that the Fe/MgO nanocomposite powders with high surface area and the higher coercive force were successfully fabricated.

절삭유(Metalworking Fludis, MWF) 노출로 인한 건강상의 장애는 암, 호흡기질환, 피부질환이다. MWF는 20여가지 이상의 화학물질이 혼합된 고분자의 화합물로서 상온에서 쉽게 증발되지 않는다. 이러한 특성으로 공기 중 MWF미스트의 측정과 분석은 PVC필터를 이용한 중량법이 국제적으로 공인되어 이용되고 있다. 그러나 사업장에서 MWF는 사용과정에서 분산되면 표면적이 커지고 증발하기 쉬운 상태로 된다. 본 연구는 실험실에서 MWF미스트 발생장치를 제작하여 MWF미스트가 필터에 채취되고 분석되는 과정에서 손실되는 양과 원인을 정량적으로 분석하였다. 즉 챔버에서 MWF가 채취된 PVC필터를 깨끗한 공기로 일정시간동안(10 ~ 240 분) 접촉하고 건조하여 각각의 과정(공기접촉, 건조기간)에서의 손실을 평가하였다. 공기와의 접촉 10분 후에 손실된 MWF양은 원래양의 12.4% - 21.8%였다. 전과정에서 손실된 양의 53.3%가 공기의 접촉초기에 일어나는 것을 확인하였다. PVC필터에 채취된 MWF의 손실은 건조과정에서 일어난 것을 확인하였다. PVC필터에 채취된 MWF의 손실에 영향을 미치는 요인을 분석하기 위한 다중회귀분석에서 MWF의 특성(사용중인 것과 사용하지 않는 것)이 유의한 예측변수였다. 이 연구 결과에 따르면, 국제적으로 공인된 증량법에 의한 공기중 MWF측정은 과소평가되는 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구는 대기중의 질소산화물($NO_x$)을 효율적으로 제거하기 위하여 기존의 방법을 개선한 것으로서, $NH_3$를 이용한 환원법을 개량하였다. 상대습도 60%에서 50 ppm의 $NO_x$는 1% hr-1의 분해율을 나타낸 반면 5배 이상의 $NH_3$를 첨가함으로써 50 ppm $NO_x$인 경우에는 6% $hr^{-1}$, 20ppm인 경우는 10% $hr^{-1}$의 제거율을 나타내었다. 그러나 실제 배기기체에서는 과량의 수분과 탄화수소나 일산화탄소같은 환원성 기체가 포함되고 미량의 금속이온들이 공존되므로 최고 15% $hr^{-1}$까지 $NO_x$의 제거가 촉진되었다. 또한 SO_2와 같은 산성기체의 공존은 분해율을 감소시켰다. 이 $NO_x$의 분해현상은 주로 계에 가해진 수증기의 응축으로 생긴 수막에 NO_x가 용해되는 동시에 염기성인 $NH_3$기체도 용해되어 이루어진 이들 이온들의 환원반응에 기인된다고 생각된다.
