혼합계면활성제들의 임계미셀농도(CMC)값과 그 용액에서 4-ethylaniline의 가용화상수(Ks) 값을 UV-Vis법으로 측정하고 분석하였다. 그 결과 TTAB/LSB와 TTAB/TX-100 혼합계면활성제들은 이상적 혼합 미셀화로부터 크게 벗어나지 않았다. 그러나 SDS/LSB와 SDS/TX-100 혼합시스템은 큰 음의 벗어남을 보였다. 이러한 차이는 미셀 상에서 두 성분들의 상호작용의 세기가 서로 다름으로 나타났으며, 이것들이 4-ethylaniline의 가용화에 크게 영향을 미침을 알 수 있었다. 순수 계면활성제 중에 음이온 계면활성제인 SDS가 다른 계면활성제보다 더 큰 Ks값을 보였으며, Ks값은 SDS≫TTAB≧ LSB>TX-100 순으로 감소하였다. 그리고 혼합계면활성제에 의한 Ks값은 그것을 구성하는 순수 계면활성제의 Ks값보다 더욱 큰 값을 나타내었다.

In this study, the laminar burning velocity of low calorific gas fuels are verified through the comparison and examination of experimental and predicted results. The bunsen burner which has contraction nozzle is used to measure the laminar burning velocity with the cone angle method. In addition, PREMIXED code combined with two mechanism, i.e., the GRI 3.0, and USC II reaction mechanisms is used to predict the laminar burning velocity. As heating value decrease, the laminar burning velocity correspondingly decreases due to inert gases in the fuels. Through the comparison and analysis of the experimental results and the predicted results, it is confirmed that LCF 9000 and LCF 8000 with the GRI 3.0 reaction mechanism and LCF 7000 and 6000 with the USC II reaction mechanism have a similar distribution of laminar burning velocity between the experimental result and the predicted result. This similarity is due to a large amount of propane, which is not suitable for the GRI 3.0 reaction mechanism in LCF 7000 and 6000.

This study is carried out to analyze the velocity distribution for each location and the uniformity index according to straight distance on exit side by changing the design factors of branch pipe connected to 180° circular mixing-tee using RSM(Reynolds Stress Model) turbulence model. As the results of the flow characteristics according to hydraulic diameter, the velocity profiles in the 90° sectional area are generally similar. In the 180° section, the maximum velocity point shows Y/D=0.7~0.8 after rapid increase of the flow velocity. In the result according to the distance away from inlet, the maximum velocity point in the 90° sectional area is located in outer side of the curved pipe as the distance away from inlet increases. In the 180° sectional area, the maximum velocity point is showed in Y/D=0.7~0.8 after the rapid increase of the flow velocity regardless of the variation of branched distance. In case of inclined angle, the maximum velocity point in the 90° sectional area is located in outer side of the curved pipe as the inclined angle increases. In the 180° sectional area, the maximum velocity point is observed in Y/D=0.8 regardless of the inclined angle. In addition, the uniformity index of flow velocity shows that it is stabilizing after approximately L/D=40 away from the end of the curved pipe regardless of the flow factors in the branch pipe.

The purpose of this study was to develop a functional senior mixed soymilk for seniors and to provide functional senior-mixed soymilk to prevent disease outbreaks. The isoflavone content of senior soymilk was 0.15±0.01 mg/g. The β-glucan content of senior soymilk was 9.82±0.01 mg/g. The weight gain of mice were significantly higher in the high-fat diet group than in the other groups. The serum triglyceride content was high at 102.67±40.61 mg/dL in the high-fat diet group, but significantly lower at 83.00±42.43 mg/dL in the 20% senior soymilk group. Thus, the results of this study comprehensively suggest that food intake should be ingested for each life cycle with reference to the dietary reference intakes for Koreans. In particular, the elderly in their 50s and older are deficient in protein and weakened immune capacity, so it is imperative that they maintain their health through various foods such as soymilk, which is evenly nutritious.

PURPOSES : Asphalt pavements are damaged by various causes, such as cracks, potholes due to climate, and traffic environment. Asphalt aging has a significant effect on cracks, which may also form potholes. The purposes of this study are to estimate the change in asphalt binder and mixture performance and to correlate the physicochemical changes of the asphalt binder and mixture performance with aging. METHODS : The aging process of the asphalt was determined in the laboratory, based on the methods used in previous studies. In terms of consistency (stiffness), crack-resistance performance, moisture susceptibility, SK investigated the binder part, and Shoreki investigated the mixture part depending on the aging time. RESULTS : The consistency (stiffness) and brittleness of both the asphalt binder and mixture tended to increase with aging. In particular, the crack-resistance performance of the asphalt binder (G*sinδ, ductility, and ΔTc) and mixture (flexural fatigue test and Cantabro test) deteriorated because of asphalt aging. Furthermore, the aging mechanisms (oxidation and polymerization) were identified based on the chemical structure analysis. CONCLUSIONS : It is confirmed that the aging affected the chemical composition change and the physical properties of the asphalt. Asphalt pavements are significantly affected by the aging characteristics of the binder. It is concluded that the crack-resistance performance of the mixture decreases with aging due to these physical and chemical changes.

In this study, we investigated the effects of diesel-palm oil biodiesel-ethanol blends on combustion and emission characteristics in a 4-cylinder common rail direct injection (CRDI) diesel engine at low idling operations. The engine speed and engine load was 750 rpm and 40 Nm, while the main and pilot injection timing was respectively fixed at 2 °CA before top dead center (BTDC) and 20 °CA BTDC. The experimental results showed that the cylinder pressure increased with the increasing of palm oil biodiesel ratio from 20% to 100%. In addition, the peak value of cylinder pressure increased by 4.35% compared with pure diesel fuel when 5 vol.% ethanol oil added to diesel oil. Because the palm oil biodiesel and ethanol are the oxygenated fuel, the oxygen content played an important role in improving combustion. Based on the high oxygen content of biodiesel and ethanol, their mixing with diesel fuel effectively reduced PM emissions but increased NOx slightly, while CO and HC had no significant changes.

A two-phase flow in mini-channels is consist with various flow regimes (such as bubble slug, annular, churn flow) according to gas and liquid phase flow rates. A previous researches revealed that in a case of slug flow in hydrophobic mini-channels, gas and liquid phase are perfectly separated by interfaces and triple contact line. In this study, the single dry slug flow experiments in circular mini-channel (D = 1.018 mm) are conducted to observe interfacial break-up phenomena in high capillary number range (Ca < 0.02). The slug is consist with D.I. water or D.I. water-ethanol binary mixtures (5% and 10%, mole fraction). On the base of previous researches, we calculate the pressure drop at moving triple contact line. In an addition, a single dry slug flow is visualized by using high-speed camera. Through the experiment, three regimes of pressure drop are observed; steady, loss, separation. As a result, criteria between steady and loss regimes is closely related to capillary number, and criteria between loss and separation regimes is related to surface tension.

PURPOSES : The feasibilities of cohesive elastoplastic contact model and discrete element method (DEM) for asphalt concrete mixture compaction process were evaluated. METHODS : The contact models that were used to simulate the dynamic behavior of construction materials were reviewed. The characteristics of cohesive elastoplastic models were discussed from the perspective of integration with existing contact models. Two asphalt mixtures that were fabricated with specific aggregate gradations and binder contents were compacted according to the Superpave gyratory compaction specification. The parameters for the model were determined via trial-and-error method. The heights of the specimens were plotted with respect to number of gyrations. The results of the laboratory tests were compared to those of numerical simulations. The displacement of particles in asphalt mixture specimen was also visualized to understand the effect of gyratory compaction on asphalt mixture specimen. RESULTS : The DEM model exhibited a significant friction coefficient dependency on compaction degree and slop. The DEM model with parameters determined through trial and error demonstrated reasonable simulation results in terms of specimen height at a gyration number. CONCLUSIONS: Even though a little discrepancy was observed between the results of the experimental test and numerical simulation, a combination of DEM with cohesive elastoplastic contact model seems to be applicable for the simulation of asphalt mixture compaction in laboratory. However, the model needs to be enhanced to be used for more realistic compaction processes, including heat transfer, phase change, and vibratory loading.

In this study, the temperature, the absolute humidity, and the turbulent flow characteristics of exhaust air and supply air in the mixer were studied while changing the shape of the mixer of the white smoke reducing heat exchange system. Using Solidworks, the mixer of the white smoke reduction heat exchange system was created by 3-D model. Also, the mixed flow of supply air and exhaust air inside the mixer under the uniform inlet conditions was computed, using the solidworks flow simulation. Two types of improvement models were selected by using a perforated plate and a guide vane as a turbulent mixing flow control method of the mixer. The mean temperature and mean absolute humidity of the mixture were greatly decreased according to the internal shapes of Case 1, 2, and 3. The temperature difference between the inlet and outlet of the mixer Case 3 was 26℃. The exit temperature and absolute humidity reduction rates of Case 3 were 26.2% and 48.1%, respectively, compared with Case 1.

At a two phase flow, according to gas and liquid phase flow rates, various flow regimes are developed such as bubbly, slug/plug, churn, annular, droplet flow and so on. At a two phase flow in small scaled channels, among various flow regimes, the intermittent flows such as bubbly, slug/plug flow are developed in the broad regions of two phase flow pattern map. In particular, the flow regimes are influenced by surface wettability. In a case of slug flow in hydrophobic small scaled channels, gas and liquid phases are perfectively separated by interfaces and contact line. The pressure drop of the two-phase flow is largely generated at moving contact line. Therefore, to well design two-phase flow system with small scales, it is important to estimate the pressure drop at moving contact line. In this study, on the basis of previous research, the pressure drop at moving contact line is experimentally measured for a various fluids (0-40% water-ethanol mixtures). And, the previous correlation to estimate pressure drop at moving contact line is verified by experimental data. In an addition, we discuss interfacial broken phenomena of slug flow in a minichannel. (D=1.555mm).
