Two kinds of new NOx sensing mechanism was proposed and examined. One of those was potentiomtric sensor based on the measurement of decomposed oxygen from NO using YSZ porous diffusion barrier and Pd catalytic electrode. The sensor based on decomposed oxygen measurement responded to the range of 300 - 1000 ppm NO in $N_{2}$ environment and the sensitivities were coincident with theoretical values at 700 and $800^{\circ}C$ but the decomposition rate depended on gas flow rate. The other sensor was equilibrium potentiometric type using $Gd_{2}O_{3}$-nitrates solid solution as sensing material. The sensor using $Gd_{2}O_{3}$-nitrates solid solution was suitable for NOxxsensing at $700^{\circ}C$ in 5 % oxygen and the sensitivity was 19.3 mV/decade. However, long term stability of the sensing material at high temperature was not sufficient.

기체공급계 추진제공급시스템의 재순환배관에 대하여 성능시험을 수행하였다. 극저온 추진제로 액체 산소를 사용하고 재순환촉진용 분사가스로는 헬륨을 사용하여 탱크 얼리지가 대기압 상태인 경우와 4 bars로 가압된 경우에 대하여 시험하였다. 자연재순환의 발생여부와 헬륨분사량에 따른 액체산소의 재순환량 변화 및 배관 내부 온도분포를 파악하였고, 주어진 규격의 배관시스템에 대한 적정 헬륨분사량과 터보펌프 전단의 추진제 온도상승 정도를 살펴보았다. 시험데이터를 이용하여 재순환배관의 성능계산을 위한 프로그램을 작성하고 시험과 계산결과를 비교하였다.

A simple thermal oxidation of Cu thin films deposited on planar substrates established a growth of vertically aligned copper oxide (CuO) nanorods. DC sputter-deposited Cu thin films with various thicknesses were oxidized in environments of various oxygen partial pressures to control the kinetics of oxidation. This is a method to synthesize vertically aligned CuO nanorods in a relatively shorter time and at a lower cost than those of other methods such as the popular hydrothermal synthesis. Also, this is a method that does not require a catalyst to synthesize CuO nanorods. The grown CuO nanorods had diameters of ~100 nm and lengths of $1{\sim}25{\mu}m$. We examined the morphology of the synthesized CuO nanorods as a function of the thickness of the Cu films, the gas environment, the oxidation time, the oxidation temperature, the oxygen gas flow rate, etc. The parameters all influence the kinetics of the oxidation, and consequently, the volume expansion in the films. Patterned growth was also carried out to confirm the hypothesis of the CuO nanorod protrusion and growth mechanism. It was found that the compressive stress built up in the Cu film while oxygen molecules incorporated into the film drove CuO nanorods out of the film.

Zinc Oxide(ZnO) thin films on Si (100) substrate were deposited by RF magnetron sputter with changing sputtering conditions such as argon/oxygen gas ratios, RF power, and substrate temperature, chamber pressure and target-substrate distance. To analyze a crystallographic properties of the films, $\theta/2\theta$ mode X-ray diffraction, SEM, and AFM analyses. C-axis preferred orientation, resistivity. and surface roughness highly depended on $Ar/O_2$ gas ratios. The resistivity of ZnO thin films rapidly increased with increasing oxygen ratio and the resistivity value of $9{\times}10^7{\Omega}cm$ was obtained at a working pressure of 10 mTorr with $Ar/O_2$=50/50. The surface roughness was also improved with increasing oxygen ratio and the ZnO films deposited with $Ar/O_2$=50/50 showed the excellent roughness value of $28.7{\AA}$.

In this paper, the effect of oxygen component in fuel on the exhaust emissions has been investigated for an indirect injection diesel engine. It was tested to estimate change of engine performance and exhaust emission characteristics for the commercial diesel fuel and oxygenated blended fuel which has four kinds of mixed ratio. And, the effects of exhaust gas recirculation(EGR) on the characteristics of NOx emission have been investigated. Ethylene glycol mono-n-butyl ether(EGBE) contains oxygen component 27% in itself, and it is a kind of effective oxygenated fuel of mono-ether group that the smoke emission of EGBE is reduced remarkably compared with commercial diesel fuel, that is, it can supply oxygen component sufficiently at higher loads and speeds in diesel engine. It was found that simultaneous reduction of smoke and NOx was achieved with oxygenated fuel(10vol-%) and cooled EGR method(10%).

아르곤과 산소 대기압 플라즈마를 이용한 미생물인 E. coli의 살균효과를 분석하였다. 유전체 격막 방전 형태의 플라즈마 반응기는 아르곤과 산소 혼합기체에서 균일한 플라즈마 방전과 오존 생성에 효과적이었다. 직접적인 대기압 플라즈마 조사에 따른 E. coli의 살균처리 공정에서 산소에 대한 혼합비와 인가전력의 증가는 방전기체의 오존 발생농도를 높여 미생물의 살균효과를 증가시켰다. 반응기와 시료와의 거리는 살균효과를 증가하기 위하여 가급적 작게 하는 것이 효율적이었다. 본 연구를 통하여 대기압 플라즈마는 오존과 같은 산화촉진제의 발생으로 저온에서 E. coli와 같은 미생물을 효과적으로 살균할 수 있어 기존의 살균법을 대체 할 수 있는 차세대 살균기술로서의 개발 가능성을 확인 할 수 있었다.

Background: In 2006, three farmers died at the bottom of an agricultural shallow well where the atmosphere contained only 6% oxygen. This study aimed to document the variability of levels of oxygen and selected hazardous gases in the atmosphere of wells, and to identify ambient conditions associated with the low-oxygen situation. Methods: A cross-sectional survey, conducted in June 2007 and July 2007, measured the levels of oxygen, carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, and explosive gas (percentage of lower explosive limit) at different depths of the atmosphere inside 253 wells in Kamphaengphet and Phitsanulok provinces. Ambient conditions and well use by farmers were recorded. Carbon dioxide was measured in a subset of wells. Variables independently associated with low-oxygen condition (<19.5%) were identified using multivariate logistic regression. Results: One in five agricultural shallow wells had a low-oxygen status, with oxygen concentration decreasing with increasing depth within the well. The deepest-depth oxygen reading ranged from 0.0% to 20.9%. Low levels of other hazardous gases were detected in a small number of wells. The low-oxygen status was independently associated with the depth of the atmosphere column to the water surface [odds ratio (OR) = 13.5 for 8-11 m vs. <6 m], depth of water (OR = 0.17 for 3-<8 m vs. 0-1 m), well cover (OR = 3.95), time elapsed since the last rainfall (OR = 7.44 for >2 days vs. <1 day), and location of well in sandy soil (OR = 3.72). Among 11 wells tested, carbon dioxide was detected in high concentration (>25,000 ppm) in seven wells with a low oxygen level. Conclusion: Oxygen concentrations in the wells vary widely even within a small area and decrease with increasing depth.

비다공성 중공사막 접촉기를 이용하여 수용액 내 용존 산소의 농도를 조절하고자 하였으며, 용존 산소의 농도를 전산모사를 통하여 예측하였다. 공급 기체와 공급 수용액이 같은 방향으로 흐르는 병류 흐름 시스템에 대한 분리막 접촉기 공정 지배 미분 방정식을 5차 Runge-Kutta-Verner 법으로 해석하였다. Compaq Visual Fortran 6.6 소프트웨어로 용존 산소농도 예측 프로그램을 개발하였다. 개발된 프로그램을 사용하여 수치해석을 수행한 결과, 분리막 수가 16,000개로 일정하며 공급기체의 유속이 0.536 mol/sec이고 압력이 486 kPa이며 공급 수용액의 유속이 16.69 mol/sec이고 산소의 몰분율이 0.995으로 유지된 상태에서, 분리막의 길이가 0.4에서 1.2m로 증가함에 따라 용존 산소는 30에서 64 ppm으로 증가하였음을 알 수 있었다. 분리막의 길이가 0.4 m일 때 공급수용액의 유속이 9.26에서 26.85 mol/sec로 증가함에 따라 용존 산소가 40에서 20 ppm으로 감소함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 공급 기체 압력이 298에서 847 kPa으로 증가함에 따라 용존 산소는 33에서 69 ppm으로 증가함을 알 수 있었다.

이 논문의 목적은 승용자동차의 배출가스 제어장치에 대한 고장사례 연구이다. 첫 번째 사례의 원인은 퍼지 컨트럴 솔레노이드밸브(PCSV)가 일정한 동작조건에서 열리지 말아야 하나, 오작동 되어 열림으로써 서지탱크로 증발가스가 유입되어 이것이 연료량이 농후한 것으로 측정되었다. 이 결과 엔진의 ECU(Electronic control uint)에서 연료의 분사량을 줄임으로써 공회전시 엔진의 부조화 현상이 발생된 것으로 확인되었다. 두 번째 사례에서는, EGR 밸브를 작동하는 호스가 다른 곳으로 조립되어 진공압력이 공급되지 않았다. 이로 인해 EGR 밸브가 작동되지 않고 다른 곳에서 진공이 누설됨으로써 엔진이 부조화 현상이 발생된 것으로 확인되었다. 세 번째 사례는 두개의 센서 가운데 뒤쪽(Rear side) 산소센서가 다른 자동차의 산소센서로 오장착됨으로 인해 산소량을 감지하지 못해 감속시 급격하게 속도가 줄어든 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서, 배출가스 제어 장치에 관련된 시스템은 최적의 상태로 작동되어 배출가스를 저감하는 역할을 할 수 있도록 철저한 관리가 요구된다.

The soot yield has been studied by a premixed propane-oxygen-inert gas combustion in a specially designed disk-type constant-volume combustion chamber to investigate the effect of pressure, temperature and turbulence on soot formation. Premixtures are simultaneously ignited by eight spark plugs located on the circumference of chamber at 45 degrees intervals in order to observe the soot formation under high temperature and high pressure. The eight converged flames compress the end gases to a high pressure. The laser schlieren and direct flame photographs with observation area of 10 mm in diameter are taken to examine the behaviors of flame front and gas flow in laminar and turbulent combustion. The soot volume fraction in the chamber center during the final stage of combustion at the highest pressure is measured by the in-situ laser extinction technique and simultaneously the corresponding burnt gas temperature by the two-color pyrometry method. The changes of pressure and temperature during soot formation are controlled by varying the initial charging pressure and the volume fraction of inert gas compositions, respectively. It is found that the soot yield increases with dropping the temperature and raising the pressure at a constant equivalence ratio, and the soot yield in turbulent combustion decreases as compared with that in laminar combustion because the burnt gas temperature increases with the drop of heat loss for laminar combustion.
