Granulation procedure was carried out in a 0.109m I. D., 1.8m height fluidized bed coal combustor of the multi-sized particles. The domestic anthracite with heating value 3240kcal/kg was used. Granulation of fine coal particles and fluidizing characteristics were investigated by the pressure fluctuation properties such as mean pressure, standard deviation of pressure fluctuation and power spectrum distribution. Defluidization state and granulation mechanism were also studied by the various analysis. It was found that the conversion efficiency in the elutriated stream was increased by the coalescence of fine coal particles. Defluidization and pressure fluctuation properties were interrelated and this result was indication of the capabilities of pressure fluctuation properties analysis in the diagnostics of fluidizing state.

In the present structural codes the safety verification is based on a linear analysis of the structure and the satisfaction of ultimate and serviceability limit states, using a semi-probabilistic security format through the consideration of partial safety factors, which affect the action values and the characteristic values of the material properties. In this context, if a non-linear structural analysis is wanted a difficulty arises, because the global safety coefficient, which could be obtained in a straightforward way from the non-linear analysis, is not directly relatable to the different safety coefficient values usually used for the different materials, as is the case for reinforced concrete structures. The work here presented aims to overcome this difficulty by proposing a methodology that generalises the format of safety verification based on partial safety factors, well established in structural codes within the scope of linear analysis, for cases where non-linear analysis is needed. The methodology preserves the principal assumptions made in the codes as well as a reasonable simplicity in its use, including a realistic definition of the material properties and the structural behaviour, and it is based on the evaluation of a global safety coefficient. Some examples are presented aiming to clarify and synthesise all the options that were taken in the application of the proposed methodology, namely how to transpose the force distributions obtained with a non-linear analysis into design force distributions. One of the most important features of the proposed methodology, the ability for comparing the simplified procedures for second order effects evaluation prescribed in the structural codes, is also presented in a simple and systematic way. The potential of the methodology for the development and assessment of alternative and more accurate procedures to those already established in codes of practice, where non-linear effects must be considered, is also indicated.

We studied fire properties of MOF(Metering Out Fit) insulation cover and field condition of 22.9kV power receiving system. $49.5\%$ of formal equipments were installed indoors, whereas $40.8\%$ of informal equipments were installed as H-type. Insulation treatment was not done at a $22.4\%$ ratio of main line($27.7\%$ of transformer, $70.2\%$ of COS, $10.4\%$ of MOF). Fire pattern analysis showed that the fire started at the secondary part of OC wire. In the result of DTA(Differential Thermal Analysis), normal cover showed exothermic reactions at $310^{\circ}C,\;399^{\circ}C\;and\;510^{\circ}C$ (endothermic reactions at $382^{\circ}C$). Whereas damaged cover showed exothermic reactions at $412^{\circ}C$(endothermic reactions at $389^{\circ}C$). In the result of TGA(Thermo Gravimetric Analysis), the thermal weight change of normal cover was similar compared to damaged cover. In the result of FT-IR analysis, normal cover showed absorption peaks at $3,024cm^{-l},\;2,921cm^{-l},\;1,600cm^{-1},\;1,492cm^{-1},\;1,451cm^{-1},\;1,154cm^{-l},\;1,027cm^{-1},\;906cm^{-1}$. Whereas, in case of tracked cover, the absorption peaks that were shown in normal cover disappeared and different absorption peak was shown at $966cm^{-1}$.

Background: Electrical socket outlets are used continuously until a failure occurs because they have no indication of manufacturing date or exchange specifications. For this reason, 659 electrical fires related to electrical socket outlets broke out in the Republic of Korea at 2018 only, an increase year on year. To reduce electrical fires from electrical socket outlets, it is necessary to perform an accelerated test and analyze the thermal, insulation resistance, and material properties of electrical socket outlets by installation years. Methods: Thermal characteristics were investigated by measured the temperature increase of electrical socket outlets classified according to year with variation of the current level. Insulation resistance characteristics was measured according to temperature for an electrical socket outlets by their years of use. Finally, to investigate the thermal and insulation resistance characteristics in relation to outlet aging, this study analyzed electrical socket outlets' conductor surface and content, insulator weight, and thermal deformation temperature. Results: Analysis showed, regarding the thermal characteristics, that electrical socket outlet temperature rose when the current value increased. Moreover, the longer the time that had elapsed since an accelerated test and installation, the higher the electrical socket outlet temperature was. With respect to the insulation resistance properties, the accelerated test (30 years) showed that insulation resistance decreased from 110 ℃. In relation to the installation year (30 years), insulation resistance decreased from 70 ℃, which is as much as 40 ℃ lower than the result found by the accelerated test. Regarding the material properties, the longer the elapsed time since installation, the rougher the surface of conductor contact point was, and cracks increased. Conclusion: The 30-year-old electrical socket outlet exceeded the allowable temperature which is 65 ℃ of the electrical contacts at 10 A, and the insulation resistance began to decrease at 70 ℃. It is necessary to manage electrical socket outlets that have been installed for a long time.

In this study, hydrogen embrittlement (HE) behavior of a SA-723 steel via controlling gaseous hydrogen pre-charging condition has been analyzed. The gaseous hydrogen charging of the SA-723 steel was performed under a constant pressure of 20 MPa of gaseous H₂ at 150℃ and 300℃ for 2 and 6h, and TDS, SSRT and Charpy tests were conducted to analyze the hydrogen embrittlement (HE) behavior of the SA-723 steel. Furthermore, prior to commencing the test, these specimens were coated with Zn to prevent hydrogen from diffusing out of a specimen during the tests. The TDS results showed that the 300℃-6h and 150℃-6h charged steels contain larger amounts of hydrogen than 300℃-2h and 150℃-2h charged steel. The SSRT and Charpy test results also showed the similar trends that the mechanical properties of the steels deteriorate as the amount of hydrogen charged in the steel increases. Therefore, this study suggests that, for SA-723 steel, the charging time parameter is more effective to charge more amount of hydrogen into SA-723 steel, rather than the charging temperature.

The effect of food simulants on properties and light barrier function of LDPE-nano $TiO_2$ composite film has been investigated. LDPE-nano $TiO_2$ composite films were prepared with 5.0wt% $TiO_2$ content by melt-extrusion. To simulate food contact environment, according to KFDA standards and specifications for food utensils, containers and packages, food simulants were selected with deionized water, 50% ethanol, 4% acetic acid and n-heptane and composite films were immersed in each food simulant at $70^{\circ}C$, 30 min except n-heptane ($25^{\circ}C$, 60 min). A variety of material properties, including crystallinity, chemical bonds, surface morphology, mechanical, oxygen barrier and optical properties, of LDPE-nano $TiO_2$ composite film were examined with and without the food simulants treatment. As a result, under regulated migration condition, LDPE-nano $TiO_2$ composite showed extremely stable in all properties tested in the study in contact with food simulants indicating that $TiO_2$ nanoparticles are physicochemically stable and quite compatible with LDPE. Results enable us to anticipate migration of $TiO_2$ will probably not occur. To evaluate influence of migration of $TiO_2$ on food stuffs, their color, pH and acidity were observed as well.

NDT(Non-Destructive Testing Evaluation) using electromagnetic(EM) properties can be used for evaluation of physical performance in cement-based materials. In this study, a technique for strength evaluation in cement mortar is proposed through the measured EM properties(conductivity and dielectric constant). For this research, cement mortar specimens with 5 W/C ratios are made for evaluation of compressive strength and they are also utilized for tests of EM properties in the range of $0.2{\sim}20GHz$ frequency considering exposure condition and curing period. The averaged conductivity and dielectric constant in $5{\sim}20GHz$ frequency are reduced to $83{\sim}93%$ and $81{\sim}87%$, respectively with increasing water to cement ratios. Through the linear regression analysis, relationships between EM properties and results from the compressive strength are obtained, which shows higher correlated factor($0.93{\sim}0.94$) in the specimens exposed to room condition. The gradients in dielectric constant for strength results is measured to be higher than those in conductivity by $3.9{\sim}5.1$ times. The results from dielectric constant in room condition shows the most efficient relation for evaluation of strength.

Based on the test data of Nippon Steel Corporation, the formulas for calculating mechanical properties of fire-resistant (FR) steel at elevated temperatures have been established. A practical approach for fire safety design of FR steel members, including axially compressed members, flexural members and eccentrically compressed members, is developed in this paper. Compared with the full-scale specimen experiments and FEM numerical analysis, this practical approach for fire safety design of FR steel members is demonstrated to be effective and precise.

본 연구에서는 배관 재료의 물성을 고려한 공학적 내진설계방식과 소방시설의 내진설계의 기준에 따른 사양위주의 설계방식에 대하여 비교 분석하였다. 배관 재료의 물성을 고려한 내진설계 방식의 경우는 배관에서 발생되는 비틀림 응력과 굽힘 응력의 합성 값을 통해 배관의 안전성을 분석하게 된다. 하지만 사양위주의 설계방식의 경우는 배관 재료의 안전성이 아니라 배관이 움직이는 힘을 해석하여 흔들림 방지버팀대가 견딜 수 있는지 여부를 해석하고 있다. 소화배관은 하나의 연결된 구조체로 일정구간에서 발생되는 흔들리는 힘을 통해서는 배관의 안전성을 보장받을 수 없기 때문에 배관 재료의 응력과 변위의 안전성 분석을 통해서 가능하다. 그러므로 안전성 있는 소화 설비 배관의 내진설계를 위해서는 배관 재료의 물성과 건축 구조물의 내진성능을 고려한 해석방법을 적용할 필요가 있다.
