BaTiO3-Poly vinylidene fluoride (PVDF) solution was prepared by adding 0~25 wt% BaTiO3 nanopowder and 10 wt% PVDF powder in solvent. BaTiO3-PVDF film was fabricated by spreading the solution on a glass with a doctor blade. The output performance increased with increasing BaTiO3 concentration. When the BaTiO3 concentration was 20 wt%, the output voltage and current were 4.98 V and 1.03 μA at an applied force of 100 N. However, they decreased when the over 20 wt% BaTiO3 powder was added, due to the aggregation of particles. To enhance the output performance, the generator was poled with an electric field of 150~250 kV/cm at 100 °C for 12 h. The output performance increased with increasing electric field. The output voltage and current were 7.87 V and 2.5 μA when poled with a 200 kV/cm electric field. This result seems likely to be caused by the c-axis alignment of the BaTiO3 after poling treatment. XRD patterns of the poled BaTiO3-PVDF films showed that the intensity of the (002) peak increased under high electric field. However, when the generator was poled with 250 kV/cm, the output performance of the generator degraded due to breakdown of the BaTiO3-PVDF film. When the generator was matched with 800 Ω resistance, the power density of the generator reached 1.74 mW/m2. The generator was able to charge a 10 μF capacitor up to 1.11 V and turn on 10 red LEDs.

세라믹 분리막은 높은 열적, 화학적 안정성을 갖기 때문에 극한의 조건에서 운전되는 다양한 산업 공정에 적용할 수 있다. 그러나 투과도와 기계적 강도의 trade-off 현상에 의한 세라믹 분리막 활용에 제약이 있어, 고투과성-고강도 분리막 의 개발이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 상전이-압출법으로 알루미나 중공사 분리막을 제조하고, 고분자 바인더의 종류와 그 혼합 비에 따른 분리막의 특성 변화를 관찰하였다. 용매인 DMAc (Dimethylacetamide)와 고분자 바인더의 한센 용해도 인자를 비 교하면, PSf (polysulfone)가 DMAc와 높은 용해도 특성을 갖기 때문에 도프 용액의 점도와 토출압력이 높게 나타나 분리막 내부가 치밀한 구조로 형성되기 때문에 높은 기계적 강도를 갖으나 수투과도가 감소하는 것으로 확인되었다. 그에 반해, PES (polyethersulfone)를 이용하여 분리막을 제조하면 기계적 강도가 다소 감소하고 수투과도가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라 서 분리막 성능과 물성을 최적화하기 위해 PSf와 PES를 혼합하여 분리막을 제조하였으며, 9:1로 혼합하여 제조된 분리막에 서 최적화된 수투과도와 기계적 강도를 얻을 수 있었다.

PURPOSES : The aim of this study is to investigate the enhancement of performance and the mix design method for asphalt mixtures utilizing ferronickel slag, an industrial by-product METHODS : To enhance the performance of FNS asphalt, waste tire powder (CR) was incorporated, and the characteristics of FNS asphalt aggregate, along with the impact of CR, were evaluated through the mix design process. RESULTS : CR is found to be suitable with a size of 30 mesh, and the optimal usage amount is determined to be 1±0.1% of the mixture weight, considering dense grade asphalt mixture. Volumetric design considering the swelling characteristics of CR is necessary, and a mixing design with a consistent tendency can be achieved only when an appropriate VMA is secured. CONCLUSIONS : The mix design for FNS-R asphalt mixture requires an increase of approximately 1% in VMA compared to conventional dense-graded asphalt mixtures to accommodate the swelling of CR. Additionally, FNS-R asphalt exhibits improved resistance to rutting comparable to modified asphalt and meets quality standards, including stripping resistance.

The safe disposal of high-level radioactive waste has become a prominent global concern, necessitating rigorous safety assessments for deep geological disposal facilities. In Korea, crystalline rock with low-permeability is considered as the host rock for radioactive waste disposal, and fluid flow and solute transport in a low-permeability rock formation predominantly occur through interconnected fracture network. To analyze and predict fluid flow and solute transport behavior within the fractures, a comprehensive understanding of solute mixing at fracture intersections is crucial. However, difficulty in direct observation of the mixing processes occurring within microscale fracture intersections has led only to analytical and numerical studies, which requires thorough experimental study based on direct observations and measurements for a fundamental understanding of the mixing processes in fracture intersections. In this study, elaborate experiments are being prepared and conducted to measure the complex flow velocity/structure and solute concentration at rough-walled fracture intersections, using a microscale visualization technique of micro Particle Image Velocimetry (micro-PIV) system. Most analytical and numerical studies have shown that at high Peclet number (Pe) > 1,000, streamlinerouting model plays a major role in redistributing solutes at the fracture intersection, at which the mixing ratio converges to zero. As opposed to the conventional mixing model, our experiments found the rebounding of the mixing ratio in the inertial flow regime, indicating an enhanced solute mixing at the intersection. Flow visualization has demonstrated that the inertial flow features, such as the development of large-scale eddies and the straightening of main streamlines, enhance the physical mixing of solutes at rough-walled fracture intersections. The findings provide insights into the influence of fracture geometry on flow dynamics and its significant impact on solute mixing at fracture intersections.

In this study, effect of mixing ratio of -carrageenan and glucomannan on quality characteristics of jelly incorporated with omija concentrate were analyzed. Through previous studies, the concentration of the gelling agent was fixed at 1.5% of the weight of the jelly. As a control, omija concentrate jelly using a single gelling agent was prepared. The texture of the jelly using glucomannan alone could not be measured because it was difficult to maintain its shape. The texture was changed according to the mixing ratio of -carrageenan and glucomannan. When -carrageenan was mixed with glucomannan, the water holding capacity was increased. Jelly prepared in mixing 2:1 ratio of -carrageenan and glucomannan was observed to have the highest hardness, springiness, gumminess, cohesiveness, and chewiness. Also, in order to manufacture omija jelly that maintains high water retention for a long period of time, it is optimal to mix -carrageenan and glucomannan at a ratio of 1:2.

The present study investigated the effects of forage cutting and baler mixing on the chemical compositions, fermentation indices, and aerobic stability of whole crop rice (WCR) haylage. The WCR (“Youngwoo”) was harvested at 48.4% dry matter and ensiled into a 300 kg bale silo with forage cutting (whole crop without cutting vs. 5 cm of cutting length). The WCR forages were ensiled without baler mixing process (CON) or with (MIX). The concentrations of dry matter, crude protein, ether extract, crude ash, neutral detergent fiber, and acid detergent fiber of whole crop rice before ensiling were 48.4, 9.70, 2.57, 6.11, 41.2, and 23.5%, respectively. The forage cutting did not affect the chemical compositions, fermentation indices, microbes, and aerobic stability of WCR haylage (p>0.05). The CON haylages tend to be higher in NDF content (p<0.10). The MIX haylages had lower in lactate (p=0.019), and lactate:acetate ratio (p<0.001). The MIX haylages had higher in lactic acid bacteria (LAB) (p=0.010). Therefore, this study concluded that the fermentation quality of WCR haylage improved by baler mixing, but had no effects by forage cutting.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the physicochemical properties by mixing ratio of soybean and peanut protein to secure basic data for developing alternative protein foods. As a result of analyzing the protein molecular weight pattern, it was confirmed that the specific molecular weight was affected by the soybean and peanut protein mixture. The content of glutamic acid, aspartic acid, arginine, glycine, serine, alanine, and tyrosine among nonessential amino acids was higher as the mixing ratio of peanut protein to soy protein was higher. However, the higher the peanut protein mixing ratio, the lower the water absorption capacity. Based on the results of this study, further studies, such as selecting soybean and peanut cultivars for determining the optimal mixing ratio of soybean and peanut protein and processing methods to improve physical properties, are necessary

본 연구는 원예용 상토:마사토:재사용 암면을 100:0:0(대조 구), 80:0:20(M1), 60:30:10(M2), 40:30:30(M3), 30:40:30 (M4) 및 0:50:50(M5)의 비율(v:v:v)로 혼합한 후 상토의 물 리∙화학성과 ‘설향’ 딸기 자묘의 생육에 미치는 영향을 알아보 기 위하여 수행하였다. 상토의 물리적 측면에서는 통계적 차 이가 인정되었으며 용적밀도 및 입자밀도는 원예용 상토가 대 부분인 대조구와 M1에서 낮았으나, 재활용 암면과 마사토의 혼합비율이 높았던 M3, M4, M5에서 용적밀도와 입자밀도가 높았다. 유효수분과 완충수분에서도 비슷한 경향을 보였다. 반면 공극률과 기상률은 대조구와 M1에서 높았고 M3, M4, M5에서 낮았다. 치환성 양이온(K, Ca, Na, Mg)과 염기치환 용량(CEC)은 대조구와 M1에서 높았으며 M1, M3, M4, M5 에서 낮았다. ‘설향’ 자묘를 재배한 결과, 초장은 M2에서32.1cm로 길었고 M4에서 28.4cm로 작았으나 자묘의 생육지 표인 크라운 직경으로 판단한다면 모든 배지에서 11.23－ 12.03mm로 형성되어 자묘의 생육에 적합하다고 생각된다. 지상부, 지하부의 생체중과 건물중은 유의한 차이가 없었다. 생육 결과를 종합하였을 때, 일정 비율의 재사용 암면과 마사 토를 혼합하여도 원예용 상토만을 사용한 것과 동일한 수준의 생육을 나타내었으나, 재활용 암면과 마사토를 적정 비율로 혼합하였을 때, 공극률, 기상률 등 물리성이 개선되어 관수관 리에 유리할 것으로 판단된다.

Radioactive Cesium is fission products of spent nuclear fuelwith high heat generating nuclide, having a 30 years half-life. Particularly, it is important to make stable waste form because Cs-137 have high solubility and mobility at ground water. The ceramic waste form has higher thermal and structural stability and lower solubility than glass and cement waste form. Various ceramic waste forms for Cs immobilization have been researched such as aluminosilicate (CsAlSi2O6), phosphate (CsZr2(PO4)3), titanate (CsxAlxTi8-XO16) and CsZr0.4W1.5O6. Cs pollucite is incorporated radio-Cesium to aluminosilicate framework by inorganic ion-exchange with zeolite. Therefore, it is an extremely stable structure. In previous study, we are prepared Cs pollucite pellet with various ratio of Cs precursor/matrix materials, and attempted to evaluate applicability as ceramic waste form. Cs pollucite is produced by mixing Mullite and SiO2 obtained by heat treatment Kaolinite with Cs2CO3 in ratios of 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8. Optimized ratio was 0.5 revealed single pollucite phase and the others exhibited CsAlSiO4 phase with pollucite. Cs pollucite of ratio 0.5 was pelletized under various conditions and evaluated performance as waste form. herein, the pellets were cracked on surface and edges broken. Therefore, Cs pollucite having high ratio of matrix materials contained Si and Al was prepared and pelletized, and then waste form was evaluated. The Cs pollucite powder is ratio of Cs precursor/matrix materials were 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4. Pollucite powder was mixed with 1.5, 2.0wt% Polyvinyl alcohol as binder, and dried at 70°C for overnight. Afterward, these powders obtained were pressed using punch-die apparatus at 50, 100 bar for 1 hour and the pellets with about dia. 25 mm and height 10 mm was acquired. These pellets were sintered at 1,400°C for 5 hours. Subsequently, the waste forms were evaluated physicochemical test such as compression strength, thermal conductivity, thermal expansion and leaching properties analysis.

In this paper, a heat exchange system using cooling dehumidification and mixing process was proposed as an experimental study for a white smoke reduction heat exchanger system under winter condition. The white smoke reduction heat exchange system is divided into an EA part, SA part, W part and mixing zone. For the operating conditions, three types (Cases 1, 2, and 3) were selected depending on whether EA fan, SA fan, and A-W heat exchanger were operated. In addition, in order to visualize the white smoke exhausted from the mixing zone, it was photographed using CCTV. In order to investigate the performance of the white smoke reduction heat exchange system, the temperature reduction rate and absolute humidity reduction rate of EA and the heat recovery rate of W were calculated. The temperature change of EA and SA according to operating conditions was most effective in Case 3, and the temperature and absolute humidity at the outlet of the mixing zone were greatly reduced. From the results of the white smoke visualization, it was confirmed that the white smoke generation mechanism was different depending on the operating conditions, and the amount of white smoke generation was greatly reduced.
