Exhaust emissions were characterized for a fleet of 10 alternative-fuel vehicles (AFVx) including 5 compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles. 3 liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) vehicles and 2 85% methanol/15% California Phase 2 gasoline (M85) vehicles. In addition to the standard regulated emissions and detailed speciation of organic gas compounds, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to measure ammonia (NH$_3$) and nitrous oxide ($N_2$O) emissions. NH$_3$, emissions averaged 0.124 g/mi for the vehicle fleet with a range from <0.004 to 0.540 g/mi. $N_2$O emissions averaged 0.022 g/mi over the vehicle fleet with range from <0.002 to 0.077 g/mi. Modal emissions showed that both NH$_3$, and $N_2$O emissions began during catalyst light-off and continued as the catalyst reached its operating temperature. $N_2$O emissions primarily were formed during the initial stages of catalyst light-off. Detailed speciation measurements showed that the principal component of the fuel was also the primary organic gas species found in the exhaust. In particular, methane, propane and methanol composed on average 93%, 79%, and 75% of the organic gas emissions, respectively, for the CNG, LPG. and M85 vehicles.

1993년 남극 하계 기간 동안 남쉐틀랜드 대륙주변부에서 한국해양연구원의 종합연구선 온누리호를 이용하여 탄성파 탐사를 실시하였으며 약 800 km의 탄성파자료를 획득하였다. 탄성파 자료에서 음의 반사계수를 보이며 상대적으로 강한 진폭을 갖는 BSR이 해저면 700 ms에서 발견되었으며 이는 가스수화물의 기저면으로 간주된다. BSR 경계면에서의 물성을 밝히기 위하여 AVO 분석을 수행하였다. 탄성파 자료에 대하여 실진폭 회수, surface consistence amplitude 보정, 입사각 변환 등을 수행하고, 각각의 CDP 자료에 대하여 AVO 절편 및 AVO 기울기를 구하였다. AVO 절편의 단면도는 BSR 경계면에서 극성이 음이고 강한 반사도를 보이며 중합단면도보다 BSR 경계면의 연속성이 뚜렷하였다. AVO 분석자료를 P-G 도면으로 표시한 결과, BSR이 뚜렷한 곳의 하부에는 가스로 채워졌음을 시사한다.

Gas foil thrust bearings (GFTBs) have attractive advantages over rolling element bearings and oil film thrust bearings, such as oil-free operation, high speed stability, and high-temperature operation. However, GFTBs have lower load carrying capacity than the other two types of bearings owing to the inherent low gas viscosity. The load carrying capacity of GFTBs depends mainly on the compliance of the foil structure and the formed hydrodynamic wedge, where the gas pressure field is generated between the top foil and the thrust runner. The load carrying capacity of the GFTBs is very important for the suitable design of oil-free turbomachinery with high performance. The aim of the present study is to identify the characteristics of the load carrying performance of GFTBs. A new test rig for the experimental measurements is designed to provide static loads up to 800 N using a pneumatic cylinder. The maximum operating speed of the driving motor is 30,000 rpm. A series of experimental tests—lift-off test, static load performance test, and maximum load capacity test—estimate the performance of a six-pad GFTB, in terms of the static load, driving torque, and temperature. The maximum load capacity is determined by increasing the static load until the driving torque rises suddenly with a sharp peak. The test results show that the torque and temperature increase linearly with the static load. The estimated maximum load capacity per unit area is approximately 80.5 kPa at a rotor speed of 25,000 rpm. The test results can be used as a design guideline for GFTBs for realizing oil-free turbomachinery.

In order to evaluate and finally optimize the vitrification condition for combustible dry active waste (DAW), dust and gas generation characteristics were investigated for PE, cellulose, and mixed waste Tests were conducted by varying the operation variables such as melter configuration, excess oxygen amount, and waste feeding rate. Results showed that dust generation characteristics were affected by the operation parameters and the melter＇s configuration is the dominant one. For all tested DAWs, dust generation was reduced by increasing the waste feeding rate and the excessive oxygen amount in the melter. Among waste types, dust amount was decreased by the order of mixed wastes, PE, and cellulose. Other parameters such as temperature variation and operation time have also affected the dust generation. The optimum condition for the DAW vitrification was determined as the melter＇s configuration equipped for minimizing the waste dispersion with 20 kg/h of waste feeding rate and 100% of excessive oxygen supply. CO gas concentration in the off-gas was immediately influenced by the combustion state in the melter, but showed similar trend as the dust generation. For the NOx production during the vitrification process, thermal NOx, which is generated from the Post Combustion Chamber (PCC), rather than fuel NOx was assumed to be dominant. The gas cleaning of efficiencies of the PCC, wet scrubber, and Selective Catalytic Reduction system (SCR) were found to be high enough to keep the concentration of pollutants (CO, NOx, SOx, HCI) in the stack below their relevant emission limits.

In order to evaluate the elimination of CO through the lung comparing with the decrease of CO content in the blood, authors had induced acute CO poisoning on 9 dogs. Arterial CO-Hb saturation, CO concentration, %, in expired gas and eliminated CO amount through the lung were measured at 1,5,10,30,60, and 120 minutes after acute CO poisoning in 6 dogs breathing room air and 3 dogs breathing room air and oxygen alternately. Results obtained are summarized as follows. In room air breathing group, arterial CO-Hb saturation averaged 50.8% , and 53.67 ml of CO was blew off through the lung during 120 minutes and in alternately air and oBygen breathing group, the arterial CO-Hb saturation averaged 65.6% and 95.6 ml of CO was blew off through the lung. The amount of CO eliminated in expired gas for 120 minute was much less than the amount of decreased CO in arterial blood which was calculated with the decreased CO-Hb content in the estimated circulating blood volume. Such difference between the amount of eliminated CO in expired gas and the decreased CO in blood might be attributed to the oxidation of CO to $CO_2$ in the tissues. Concentration of CO in expired gas was markedly increased and the rate of decrease in arterial CO-Hb saturation is enhanced by oxygen breathing. In early period of recovery from acute CO poisoning, neither the CO concentration in expired gas, nor, the rate of CO elimination (unlit 2 minutes after CO poisoning) showed close correlation with the blood CO-Hb saturation level. The reason seemed to be due to irregularly depressed or unevenly stimulated respiration which were induced by acute CO poisoning.

본 연구는 LP가스 용기용 밸브의 개발에 관한 것으로 안전밸브의 개념을 도입했다. LP가스 용기는 사용의 편리성 때문에 많이 이용되고 있지만 많은 사고가 발생되고 있다. 특히 자해나 남을 해할 목적으로 이용되기도 하며 때때로 시위도구로 사용되기도 한다. 정부에서는 이와같은 사고를 줄이기 위하여 과류밸브를 사용하도록 의무화하고 있지만 제품개발이 뒤따르지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 과류밸브보다 근원적 안전개념을 도입한 안전밸브의 개념을 소개한다. 이것은 기존의 밸브에 모듈을 삽입하는 방법으로 개발되었으며 밸브에 호스나 조정기가 연결되지 않은 상태에서는 가스의 흐름이 억제된다. 또한 정상 사용중이더라도 호스가 절단되거나 과류가 발생되면 즉시 가스의 흐름은 차단된다.

Molten iron with 2 mass % carbon content was decarbonized at 1823 K~1923 K by bubbling $Ar+O_2$ gas through a submerged nozzle. The reaction rate was significantly influenced by the oxygen partial pressure and the gas flow rate. Little evolution of CO gas was observed in the initial 5 seconds of the oxidation; however, this was followed by a period of high evolution rate of CO gas. The partial pressure of CO gas decreased with further progress of the decarbonization. The overall reaction is decomposed to two elementary reactions: the decarbonization and the dissolution rate of oxygen. The assumptions were made that these reactions are at equilibrium and that the reaction rates are controlled by mass transfer rates within and around the gas bubble. The time variations of carbon and oxygen contents in the melt and the CO partial pressure in the off-gas under various bubbling conditions were well explained by the mathematical model. Based on the present model, it was explained that the decarbonization rate of molten iron was controlled by gas-phase mass transfer at the first stage of reaction, but the rate controlling step was transferred to liquid-phase mass transfer from one third of reaction time.

부레를 가시고 있는 어류는 그 부레가 반사강도에 많은 영향을 미치고 있다. 해중에서 어류의 부레가 등방향 반사강도에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 제주도 주변 정치망에서 어획된 독가시치 8마리에 대하여 200 kHz 송수파기를 이용하여 등방향 반사강도를 측정하였다. 등방향 반사강도에 대한 부레의 역할 정도에 관한 조사를 위해서는 X-ray 사진을 이용하여 주사기로서 부레의 가스를 제거하기 전후의 등방향 반사강도를 비교.분석하였다. 독가시치의 유영자세별 등방향 반사강도의 최대치는 수평상태에서 6$^{\circ}$만금 머리를 아래로 향하여 보다 깊은 수심으로 유영하여 가는 자세에서 -30.69 dB 이었다. 부레속에 가스가 있을 때의 실험어의 전장과 체중에 따른 평균 등방향 반사강도를 나타내는식은 각각, TS : -65.16 + 20 log L TS : -50.50 + 20/3 log W 이었다. 또한 부레속의 가스를 제거한 후 실험어의 전장과 체중에 따른 평균 등방향 반사강도를 나타내는 식은 각각, TS : -65.29 + 20 log L TS : -52.62 + 20/3 log W으로서 전장과 체중에 대하여 모두 2.12~2.13 dB의 차이가 있었다. 독가시치는 부레속의 가스를 제거하기 전의 등방향 반사강도가 제거한 후보다 최고5.87 dB, 평균 2.01 dB 높았는데 이는 회귀직선식으로 구한 차이와 거의 같은 값이었다. 그러나. $\pm{30}^\circ$ 전후의 유영자세에서 부분적으로 반사강도의 역전현상이 나타났으며. 유영자세 $27^\circ$에서 2.12 dB 이나 낮게 나타났다.

Increasingly stringent emission regulations of EU and CARB (California Air resource Board) require mandatory OBD (On Board Diagnostics) far the catalytic converters of a vehicle. It demands that MIL(Malfunction Indication Light) should be tuned on to inform the driver of catalytic converter failures. Currently dual oxygen sensor method Is widely used for the converter OBD. However, since it works only alter converter light-off, it has a serious limitation when applied to TLEV or more stringent emission regulations where more than 85% of total emission is coming out before converter light-off. In addition, a recent development in catalyst material. coating technology and additive catalysts leads to a much improved OSC (Oxygen Storage Capacity) after converter light-off, current methods are very difficult to determine levels of converter aging. Therefore, it is desired to develop an OSC detecting method before converter light-off to diagnose converter failures with higher reliability. In this study, OSCs of converters are measured by an absolute measuring method and a dynamic measuring method, and some of fundamental ideas are suggested about converter OBD before converter light-off. The converters are aged with two different aging methods; those are a furnace aging and an engine bench aging: to represent aging conditions in actual field applications. Dual oxygen sensor method at the lower temperature than light-off is also studied at a model gas bench with the converters. It is fecund that there is a certain point in temperature lower than light-off where difference due to aging level becomes maximum, thus a proper dynamic method to effectively monitor catalytic converters could be implemented fur the range lower than light-off temperatures. With this result, the aging level of converters is examined at an engine bench.
