The worldwide trend of waste treatment technology is rapidly transferring from "incineration system" to "gasification & melting system" which can derive the resources from waste and charge no more environmental burden to nature. And therefore it is necessary to adopt gasification & melting system to prevent the land pollution and to solve the problem of landfill area. Among several thermal waste treatment processes gasification and melting system is the representative process which can transfer waste to resources such as syn-gas, molten slag, metal hydroxide, mixed salt and sulfur through the process of compaction, pyrolysis, gasification and melting.

Effects of water vapor, hydrocarbons, and CO, which are inevitably included in exhaust gases of combustion, on a combined $De-NO_{x}$ process of non-thermal plasma and $NH_{3}$ SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) have been investigated. Test results showed that fast SCR reaction enhanced $De-NO_{x}$ rate under the low temperature conditions, $150{\sim}200^{\circ}C$ The present test, however, showed that the role of the fast SCR reaction can be significantly suppressed by addition of hydrocarbons in a non-thermal plasma reactor. Detailed investigation verified that such suppressed role of the fast SCR reaction could be caused by the $NO_{2}/NO_{x}$ ratio modified by aldehydes produced from hydrocarbons in a non-thermal plasma reactor. In addition, the present study was confirmed that the effects of water vapor and CO were not noticeable compared with the hydrocarbon effects.

In this study, an experimental approach to measure a suite of low weight hydrocarbons was investigated with an emphasis on ethylene (EL) along with many others (ethane (EA), propane (PA), propylene (PL), n-butane (BA), acetylene (AL), methyl acetylene (ML)). Their concentrations were quantified using GC-FID system equipped with thermal desorption (TD) system. The TD-based analysis was conducted using both Link Tube/Thermal Desorber (LT/TD) method and Modified Injection through a Thermal Desorption (MITD) method. The results of these analyses were evaluated in a number of respects. The system allowed the detection of all compounds except methane with the mean response factor (RF) of 10.28 (EA) to 11.94 (PL). The method detection limits of target compounds were seen in the range of 0.027 (ML) to 0.146 ng (BA). The emission flux of some environmental samples (fruits), when measured using a small flux chamber system, fell in the range of 0.14 (AL: Kiwi) to $181ng{\cdot}g^{-1}{\cdot}hr^{-1}$ (EL: Apple Peel). The results of this study confirm that the experimental approach developed in this study allows to accurately measure emissions of low weight hydrocarbons (LWHC) like ethylene from various natural and man-made source processes.

Current display manufacturing processes apply thermal treatment of glass backplanes widely for hydrogen degassing, crystallization of thin-films, tempering, forming, and precompaction. Estimation of the characteristics of transient heating stages and thermal non-uniformities on a single glass substrate or in a stack of glasses are extremely helpful to understand non-homogeneity of mechanical and electronic features of nano/micro structures of end products. Based on simple heat transfer models and using an electric muffle furnace, temperature variations in a glass stack were predicted and measured for glass backplanes of $1.5{\times}1.85m^2$ in size and 0.7 mm in thickness. Except for the period of putting glass backplanes into the furnace, thermal radiation was the major heating mechanism for the treatment and theoretical predictions agreed well to the experimental temperatures on the backplanes. Using the theoretical model, thermal fields for a glass stack of glass-size, $2.2{\times}2.5m^2$, and of the number of sheets, 1 to 12, were calculated for practical design and manufacturing of the muffle furnace for large-scale displays, e.g. up to $8^{th}$ generation.

This work covers an important point of the benchmark released by the expert group on Uncertainty Analysis in Modeling of Light Water Reactors. This ambitious benchmark aims to determine the uncertainty in light water reactors systems and processes in all stages of calculation, with emphasis on multi-physics (coupled) and multi-scale simulations. The Gesellschaft für Anlagen und Reaktorsicherheit methodology is used to propagate the thermal-hydraulic uncertainty of macroscopic parameters through TRACE5.0p3/PARCSv3.0 coupled code. The main innovative points achieved in this work are i) a new thermal-hydraulic model is developed with a highly-accurate 3D core discretization plus an iterative process is presented to adjust the 3D bypass flow, ii) a control rod insertion occurrence -which data is obtained from a real PWR test- is used as a transient simulation, iii) two approaches are used for the propagation process: maximum response where the uncertainty and sensitivity analysis is performed for the maximum absolute response and index dependent where the uncertainty and sensitivity analysis is performed at each time step, and iv) RESTING MATLAB code is developed to automate the model generation process and, then, propagate the thermal-hydraulic uncertainty. The input uncertainty information is found in related literature or, if not found, defined based on expert judgment. This paper, first, presents the Gesellschaft für Anlagen und Reaktorsicherheit methodology to propagate the uncertainty in thermal-hydraulic macroscopic parameters and, then, shows the results when the methodology is applied to a PWR reactor.

This study was investigated the thermal properties of underfill with various epoxy resins using thermal analysis methods such as differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermo gravimetry analysis (TGA), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and thermo-mechanical analysis (TMA). And, the adhesion strength of the underfills/FR-4 substrate was evaluated. The glass transition temperature (Tg) of underfill which was composed the cycolaliphatic epoxy resin was lower than that of underfill which was not composed the cycolaliphatic epoxy resin. The thermal degradation of underfill was composed of two processes, which involved chemical reactions between the degrading polymer and oxygen from the air atmosphere. The coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of underfill which was composed the cycolaliphatic epoxy resin was higher than that of underfill which was not composed the cycolaliphatic epoxy resin. The excessive curing temperatures caused a weak boundary layer of epoxy resin, which resulted in a deterioration of mechanical properties in the epoxy resin and thus led to poor adhesion property between the underfill/FR-4 substrate.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the thermal and chemical stratification in Lake Paldang 2013-2018 weekly using Schmidt's stability index (SSI) and the index of chemical stratification (IC-i). The annual average for SSI was 19.1 g cm/㎠ with the maximum value of 45.3 g cm/㎠ in the summer and the minimum value of 4.8 g cm/㎠ in fall-winter showing seasonal differences as well as increased vertical mixing in the summer. The lake stability increased higher in 2016 as compared with the other period. The most influential factors of thermal stratification were temperature and heavy rainfall. Especially, high water temperature and a prolonged residence duration caused by reduced rainfall and inflows could result in an increase of the stratification period. While decreasing inflow and outflow at the end of the rainfall, the thermal stratification was restrengthened within 7-14 days, and then stabilized rapidly before the rainfall. IC-DO increased with high air temperature in the spring and fall-winter. However increasing sunshine duration and residence time and decreasing rate of outflow caused an increase of IC-DO in the summer. Rainfall (less than 800 mm/year) and discharge (less than 200 CMS) significantly declined in 2015 resulting in IC-DO (0.77) increased more than three times over the other years and bottom water hypoxia occurred. The SSI and IC-i used in this study could be applied to other lakes to understand changes in stratification and mixing dynamics.

This study investigates the characteristics of thermal decomposition of an epoxy-based intumescent paint using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and numerical simulation. A mathematical and numerical model is introduced to describe mass loss profiles of the epoxy-based intumescent coating induced by the thermal decomposition process. The decomposition scheme covers a range of complexity by employing simplified 4-step sequential reactions to describe the simultaneous thermal decomposition processes. The reaction rates are expressed by the Arrhenius law, and reaction parameters are optimized to fit the degradation behavior seen during thermogravimetric (TG) experiments. The experimental results show a major 2-step degradation under nitrogen and a 3-step degradation in an air environment. The experiment also shows that oxygen takes part in the stabilization of the intumescent coating between 200 and $500^{\circ}C$. The simulation results show that the proposed model effectively predicts the experimental mass loss as a function of time except for temperatures above $800^{\circ}C$, which were intentionally not included in the model. The maximum error in the simulation was less than 3%.
