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 Yocheon is an upper stream of Sumjin river, passing through Namwon city. The water temperature of the stream increases from upper stream to downstream. The amount of COD, T-P, T-N, EC, TDS abruptly increases at measuring site 8. Whereas, the pH and DO level abruptly decreases at this site. At this point, the Yocheon river joins another small stream passing through the central part of Namwon city. At a further downstream pass site 8, the amount of COD on April and June (a dry season) is on third grade of water quality for lacustrine. This contamination suggests that sewage from the Namwon city provide COD, T-N, T-P into the stream. At point 2, the high amount of T-N indicates that the upper stream is contaminated by agricultural activity.

In this study, compacting, passing performance, segregation resistance and rheological properties were tested to improve the stability of fresh concrete in the production and construction of self-compacting concrete (SCC) using hollow glass powder(GB). As a result, T50 reaching time was shortened up to amount of GB $2.0kg/m^3$. The compacting according to the amount of GB was improved by ball bearing effect of GB. However, T50 reaching time was slightly increased at $4.0kg/m^3$. In the case of passing performance, the result showed that plain was Class 1, GB $0.5{\sim}2.0kg/m^3$ was Class 0, GB $4.0kg/m^3$ was Class 1. Therefore, the passing performance was improved with 'No blocking' up to amount of GB $2.0kg/m^3$. Passing performance Block step (PJ) number by J-ring method was also best at GB $1.0kg/m^3$. In the case of segregation resistance according to the amount of GB, dynamic segregation resistance was increased compared to plain regardless of the amount of GB. And static segregation resistance showed 2.5% of segregation rate at GB $1.0kg/m^3$. Therefore, it was greatly improved compared to plain (12.5%). In the case of rheology property according to the amount of GB, plastic consistency by increasing of GB content didn't show big difference. However, yield stress by increasing of GB content was decreased with GB $1.0kg/m^3$. In conclusion, GB $1.0kg/m^3$ was effective for improvement of compacting, passing performance and yield stress. Also, it will be useful for stability of SCC by improving segregation.

Data for travel information Provision are regularly aggregated to Provide travel time information in a reliable and convenient manner and to manage traffic data and information efficiently. In most of practices in Korea, the GPS based travel time data are mainly aggregated every 5 minutes As a result, some probes can't pass by a link within aggregation interval and thereby create uncompleted link passing data. But these data are mostly generated during the congested times and therefore a method that uses such uncompleted link passing data are required. This study estimated queue dissipation length, green time and cycle that use GPS spot speed and developed a link travel time estimation method using such uncompleted link passing data. It also presents method and the overall process of using such data to estimate link travel time in a more accurate manner. As a result, MAPE 1.98% and MAE 4.75 sec of link travel time accuracy improvement has been reported, which is not much different from the real link travel time. The method Proposed here would be an alternative to increase the amount of GPS probe data, especially in congested urban arterial case.

This study has been conducted to establish the carburizing characteristics of low carbon alloy steels with varying amount of Ni element gas-carburized for 2 hours at $930^{\circ}C$ in an atmosphere of 94% $N_2$-6% $C_3H_8$ gas mixture with some changes in gas pressure passing through the diffusion plate in the fluidized-bed furnace. The results obtained from the experiment are as follows : (1) Optical micrograph has shown that the carburized layer consists of retained austenite and plate martensite and that retained austenite increases as the pressure of gas mixture passing through the diffusion plate as well as Ni content increase. (2) Chemical analysis has shown that carbon potential increases and carburizability is also improved due to a less degree of fluidization as the pressures of gas mixtures passing through the diffusion plate increase, resulting in, however, a severe formation of soot, and the gas pressure is necessarily regulated. (3) It has been revealed that carbon concentration hardness values at a given distance measured from the surface within the carburized case. Increase with increasing the pressure of gas mixtures passing through the diffusion plate and decrease with increasing Ni content. (4) The effective case depth has been shown to almost linearly increase as the pressure of gas mixtures passing through the diffusion plate is increased and to decrease with increasing Ni content.

This paper is to investigate passing performance of high performance concrete between reinforcing bar depending on maximum size of coarse aggregates. Increase in maximum size of coarse results in decrease in water demand and sand to aggregate to secure target slump flow. The larger the maximum size of coarse aggregates is, the denser the space between reinforcing bar is, the amount of concrete passed through the reinforcing bar cage shows to decrease. HPC has favorable passing performance, regardless of aggregate size, when only vertical reinforcing bar is arranged. Whereas, when vertical and horizontal reinforcing bar is arranged at the same time, proper space between reinforcing bar is considered larger than 32mm in case of using 20mm coarse aggregate, 38mm in case of using 25mm aggregate. The increase in maximum size of coarse aggregate leads to increase compressive strength slightly. Length change shows to be decreased with the increase in maximum size of coarse aggregate.

The rail surface defects which are generated on repeated rolling contact fatigue are getting increased according to high speed, high density, and minimum weight. In addition, Increasing noise and vibration are affected by these also impact load generated as well. Because of this phenomenon, more serious and critical damages were occurred. In fact, in order to control them, the rail grinding were conducted. However, there are not enough researches to make an criteria of generating optimal rail grinding amount in Korea. This study evaluated how depth of hardening on rail surface is formed and suggested optimal rail grinding amount by RCF(rolling contact fatigue) test with generated contact pressure between KTX wheel and UIC60 rail by applying FEM analysis. Therefore, the amount was generated approximately 0.2mm/20MGT to maintain integrity of rail surface by getting rid of depth of hardening on rail according to rail accumulated passing tonnage.

The simulation of hydraulic pressure distribution of discharge tube with globular beads and the removal characteristics of Escherichia coli by the discharge tube with globular beads were estimated. The removal characteristic of Escherichia coli was related to the input voltage because the electric field is increased according to input voltage. As the passing amount of test water in discharge tube is increased, the removal ratio of Escherichia coli was increased because passing numbers of electric field section is increased.

A two-dimensional Navier-Stokes solver using hybrid meshes is parallelized with a domain decompostion method. The focus of this paper is placed on minimizing the amount of effort in parallelizing the serial version of the solver, and this is achieved by adding an additional layer of cells to each decomposed domain. Most subroutines of the serial solver are used without modification, and the information exchange between neighboring domains is achieved using MPI(Message Passing Interface) library. Load balancing among the processors and scheduling of the message passing are implemented to reduce the overhead of parallelization, and the speed-up achieved by parallelization is measured on the transonic invisicd and turbulent flow problems. The parallelization efficiencies of the explicit Runge-Kutta scheme and the implicit point-SGS scheme are compared and the effects of various factors on the results are also studied.
