PURPOSES : This study is to initiated to estimate the impact of mixed traffic flow on expressway section according to the market penetration rate(MPR) of automated vehicles(AVs) using a enhanced intelligent driver model(EIDM). METHODS : To this end, microscopic traffic simulation and EIDM were used to implement mixed traffic flow on basic expressway section and simulation network was calibrated to understand the change of impact in mixed traffic flow due to the MPR of AVs. Additionally, MOEs of mobility aspects such as average speed and travel time were extracted and analyzed. RESULTS : The result of the impact of mobility MOEs by MPR and level of service indicated that 100% MPR of AVs normally affect positive impact on expressway at all level of service. However, it was analyzed that improvements in the level of service from LOS A to C are minimal until the MPR of AVs reaches 75% or higher. CONCLUSIONS : This research shows that impact of MPR of AVs using EIDM of mixed traffic flow on basic expressway. Increasing MPR of AVs affects positive impact on expressway at all level of services. However, MPR from 25% to 75% of AVs in LOS A to C shows minimal impacts. Therefore, to maximize the effectiveness of AVs, appropriate traffic operation and management strategies are necessary.

The effect of the change in air inflow velocity has been investigated at the opening of the malodor emission source to determine its influence on the Complex odor concentration. Both the Complex odor collection efficiency and concentrations were measured according to the change in airflow velocity. When the air inflow velocity was 0.1 m/s, it was observed that some of the generated gas streams were diffused to the outside due to low collection efficiency. In contrast, only the increased gas collection volume up to 0.5 m/s showed no substantial reduction of the Complex odor concentration, which indicates an increase in the size of the local exhaust system as well as the operation cost for the Complex odor control device. When the air inflow velocity reached 0.3 m/s, the Complex odor concentrations not only were the lowest, but the odorous gas could also be collected efficiently. The air inflow velocity at the opening of the malodor emission source was considered the key factor in determining the gas collection volume. Therefore, based on the results of this study, an optimal air inflow velocity might be suggestive to be 0.3 m/s.

The change in pressure measurement according to the low pressure tap blockage rate of the Venturi flowmeter used in domestic nuclear power plants was approached numerically. Blockage rates were modeled dividing by 1/10dT to the downstream side of the low pressure tab to identify differential pressure changes. As a result, differential pressure increased in proportion to the blockage rate, and there was no change in differential pressure measurement at 10 to 40 percent with relatively small blockage rate, but the error rate of 50% to 0.3% or higher was shown.

Two climate change scenarios, the RCP (Representative Concentration Pathways) 4.5 and the RCP 8.5 in the fifth Assessment Report (AR5) by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), were applied in the Yocheon basin area using the SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) model to estimate changes in flow rates and pollutant loadings in the future. Field stream flow rate data in Songdong station and water quality data in Yocheon-1 station between 2013~2015 were used for model calibration. While R2 value of flow rate calibration was 0.85 and R2 value of water qualities were in the 0.12~0.43 range. The total study period was divided into 4 sub periods as 2030s (2016~2040), 2050s (2041~2070) and 2080s (2071~2100). The predicted results of flow rates and water quality concentrations were compared with results in calibrated periods, 2015s (2013~2015). In both RCP scenarios, flow rate and TSS (Total Suspended Solid) loadings were estimated to be in increasing trend while TN (Total Nitrogen) and TP (Total Phosphorus) loadings showed decreasing patterns. Also, flow rates and pollutant loadings showed larger differences between the maximum and the minimum values in RCP 4.5 than RCP 8.5 scenarios indicating more severe effect of drought and flood, respectively. Dependent on simulation period and rainfall periods in a year, flow rate, TSS, TN and TP showed different trends in each scenario. This emphasizes importance of considerations on time and space when analyzing climate change impacts of each variable under various scenarios.

Recently, application areas based on M2M (Machine-to-Machine communications) and IoT (Internet of Things) technologies are expanding rapidly. Accordingly, water flow and water quality management improvements are being pursued by applying this technology to water and sewage facilities. Especially, water management will collect and store accurate data based on various ICT technologies, and then will expand its service range to remote meter-reading service using smart metering system. For this, the error in flow rate data transmitting should be minimized to obtain credibility on related additional service system such as real time water flow rate analysis and billing. In this study, we have identified the structural problems in transmitting process and protocol to minimize errors in flow rate data transmission and its handling process which is essential to water supply pipeline management. The result confirmed that data acquisition via communication system is better than via analogue current values and pulse, and for communication method case, applying the industrial standard protocol is better for minimizing errors during data acquisition versus applying user assigned method.

본 연구는 단면변화를 고려한 수위-단면적 변화 및 평 균 유속-단면적 간의 상관관계를 분석하여 유량 산정 및 하천관리에 활용하고자 하였다. 수위에 따른 단면적 변화 는 SB-A 지점은 1.0 m, 1.9 m, SB-C 지점은 0.6 m, 1.8 m, CL-A 지점은 1.0 m, 1.8 m, OS-A 지점은 0.6 m, 2.0m에서 발생되었다. 이 중 첫 번째 변화는 평∙저수기에 해당되 고, 두 번째 변화는 홍수기 및 하천 좌∙우 안에 인위적 ∙자연적으로 형성된 둔치 등으로 판단된다. 수위-단면적 변화에 따른 관계식의 기울기는 지수형 0.5539~1.9013, 선형 9.040~52.544의 범위를 가진다. 기울기는 두 곡선 모두 고수위로 갈수록 증가하는 경향을 보인다. 평균유 속-단면적 변화의 관계는 지수와 직선의 방정식으로 지 수형 기울기와 상관계수는 각각 0.1182~0.8734, 0.22~ 0.86이며, 선형의 기울기와 상관계수는 0.0028~0.1032, 0.20~0.87로 분석되었다. SB-A, SB-C 지점의 저수위는 다른 수위보다 상관관계가 높게 산정되었는데, 이는 수위 구간이 좁고, 하천 단면적의 변화가 크지 않기 때문으로 판단된다. CL-A, OS-A 지점은 월류보의 영향으로 저수위 일 경우에 상관관계가 낮았다. 수위-단면적, 평균유속-단 면적의 상관관계 및 곡선식 등을 이용하여 하천 정비계 획 등의 수립에 활용할 수 있으며, 제외지의 단면적이 변 하는 지점의 유량 변화 등의 예측에 활용할 수 있을 것 이다.

The flow rate analysis for sanitary fixtures has been studied to determine the water supply piping system and size. The study has been carried out to analyze for a various water supply pressure and piping size theoretically. Also, the study has been carried out to analyze for a various water supply piping system experimentally. The water supply pressure is varied from 0.01MPa to 0.07MPa, and the piping size is varied from 6mm to 15mm. The water supply piping systems are one-to-one, all-loop-type, and bathroom-loop-type water supply piping system. The results indicate that the piping size is able to supply water fully in case of smaller than 15mm if the water supply pressure keep an necessary minimum pressure. And the gap of flow rate is very little for the various water supply piping systems

The aim of this is to examine the effects of SSP therapy on the internal carotid arteries blood flow of 24 tension type headache patients(study group) and non tension type headache patients(control group), and on the reduction of their headaches, when applied to the acupuncture points. It stimulated the acupuncture point of headache 6 place with the SSP. It measured VAS and the blood flow of the internal carotid arteries with TCD. When the internal carotid arteries blood flow of study group and control group were compared by period, a significant difference was found in the 4th period(p<.05). When the Visual Analog Scale of study group and control group were compared by period, a significant difference was found in the 4th period(p<.05). The comparison of each measurement result of the internal carotid arteries blood flow of the study group found significantly increased. The comparison of each measurement result of the VAS of study group found significantly decreased. With regard to the control group, the VAS significantly decreased. The silver spike point low frequency electrical stimulation treatment, when applied to the acupuncture point, can significantly influence the internal carotid arteries blood flow of headache patients and can significantly reduce their headaches.

Aligned multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were synthesized through the catalytic decomposition of hydrocarbons in a quartz tube reactor. In this study, we investigated the influence of gas flow rate of feedstock on the structure and growth rate of vertically aligned carbon nanotubes produced by the floating catalyst method. As the flow rate of feedstock increased, the nanotube diameter became smaller and the length became longer. Although the growth rate also increased with the raise of flow rate, the optimum flow rate of feedstock existed for the crystallinity of carbon nanotubes.

Synthesis gas is a high valued compound as a basic chemicals at various chemical processes. Synthesis gas is mainly produced commercially by a steam reforming process. However, the process is highly endothermic so that the process is very energy-consuming process. Thus, this study was carried out to produce synthesis gas by the partial oxidation of methane to decrease the energy cost. The effects of reaction temperature and flow rate of reactants on the methane conversion, product selectivity, product ratio, and carbon deposition were investigated with 13wt% Ni/MgO catalyst in a fluidized bed reactor. With the fluidized bed reactor, CH4 conversion was 91%, and Hz and CO selectivities were both 98% at 850℃ and total flow rate of 100 mL/min. These values were higher than those of fixed bed reactor. From this result, we found that with the use of the fluidized bed reactor it was possible to avoid the disadvantage of fixed bed reactor (explosion) and increase the productivity of synthesis gas.

The effects of reaction temperature and flow rate of reactants on the methane conversion, product selectivity, product ratio, and carbon deposition were investigated with 13wt% Ni/MgO catalyst. Reaction temperatures were changed from 600 to 850℃, and reactants flow rates were changed from 100 to 200 mL/mim. There were no significant changes in the methane conversion observed in the range of temperatures used. It is possibly stemmed from the nearly total exhaustion of oxygen introduced. The selectiveties of hydrogen and carbon monoxide did not largely depend on the reaction temperature. The selectivities of hydrogen and carbon monoxide were 96 and 90%, respectively. Carbon deposition observed was the smallest at 750℃ and the largest at 850℃. It is found that the proper reaction temperature is 750℃. The best reactant flow rate was 150 ml/min.

nanopowder has been synthesized by means of the flame method using a precursor of titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP, Ti. In order to clarify the effect of cooling rate of hot flame on the formation of crystalline phases, the flame was controlled by varying the mixing ratio and the flow rate of gases. Anatase phase was predominantly synthesized under the condition having the steep cooling gradient in flame, while a slow cooling gradient enabled to form almost rutile nanopowder of above 95%

In this study, the recycling processes of construction and demolition waste (C&D waste) were analyzed, and its national recycling rate was determined using material flow analysis (MFA). Available statistical data provided by Ministry of Environment and Korea Environment Corporation were used for the MFA study. The collected data were carefully examined and validated by field investigations. System boundary for MFA covered from waste generation from construction sites to final disposal in 2013. The field investigation showed that recycled aggregate is produced through mechanical shredding, separation, and screening processes of C&D waste. The production efficiency (or process yield) was estimated to be approximately 81.2% on average. The foreign materials in the waste accounted for 18.8% by weight. The separated impurities were sent to recycling facilities, incineration facilities, or landfill sites, depending on the physicochemical characteristics. Efficiency of recycling facilities and the statistical data were integrated to estimate the national actual recycling rate, which turned out to be 87.7% in 2013. Approximately 49.1% of the construction-related waste was recycled as recycled aggregate for concrete production and road base layer for asphalt pavement. Based on the result of MFA, there is 9.8% difference between the actual recycling rate in this study and reported recycling rate by national statistics. In the future, more various C&D waste treatment and disposal facilities, along with aggregate recycling facility, should be investigated to verify the actual recycling rate determined by this study. Statistical accuracy should be further refined through additional field investigations. Our findings can be applicable to development of recycling policies and best management practices for C&D waste streams.

우리나라는 지형적인 특성과 높은 인구밀도로 인해 1인당 수자원 부존량이 부족한 상황이다. 이에 이상 기후현상과 여름에 집중되는 호우로 인한 가뭄이나 홍수에 효율적으로 대비하기 위해 2009년 하반기부터 4대강 사업이 추진되었고 2013년 현재 공사가 끝난 상황이다. 낙동강은 4대강 사업이 진행된 우리나라 주요 하천 중 사업이 진행된 길이가 가장 길고 수공구조물(보)이 가장 많이 설치되어 있다. 본 연구에서는 낙동강에 개설된 관측소들 중 다른 곳에 비해 지류의 유입이 적어 유량의 변화가 적고 그 사이에 수공구조물이 상대적으로 많이 설치되어 있는 낙동관측소와 왜관관측소를 연구대상으로 선정하였다. 보 설치 이전인 2009년 5,6,7월과 설치가 끝난 2013년 5,6,7월의 유량과 수위의 변화를 비교, 분석하여 수문변화에 대해 파악해 보았다. 수공구조물(보)가 설치되고 나서 상류(낙동관측소)와 하류(왜관관측소)간의 유량차가 감소하였고 상 하류 모두 강우량에 영향을 거의 받지 않고 낙동관측소와 왜관관측소에서 일정한 값의 수위를 유지하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 최대 수위변화폭도 보 설치 이후인 2013년에 감소하였다. 이를 토대로 보 설치 이후 강우량에 의한 유량 및 수위변화가 적은 것으로 나타났으며 이상기후로 인해 발생하는 가뭄이나 홍수의 수문학적 영향이 적을 것으로 판단된다.

급격한 기후변화와 무분별한 하천개발로 인한 하천특성의 변화는 치수 및 하천생태계 관리에 어려움을 주고 있으며 나아가 홍수 및 제방 붕괴로 인한 2차 피해를 유발시킬 수 있다. 하천특성은 흐름과 하상형태로 대표 될 수 있으며 하천특성과 관련된 각 인자들에 의한 하상형태 변화를 알 수 있다면 하천 및 생태계 관리에 중요한 단서를 제공 할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 하천특성에 따른 하상변동을 정량화 할 목적으로 고정된 직선 개수로(폭 0.8 m, 길이 16 m, 높이 0.75 m)에서 실험을 진행한다. 하천특성과 관련된 각 인자들을 유량, 유속, 수위, Froude수, 하상재료로 결정하였고 하상재료로는 안트라사이트(D50 = 0.8 mm, S = 1.4)를 선택하고 하상경사는 일정하게 두었다. 실험은 크게 두 가지로 분류하여 첫 번째는 Froude수를 고정하고 유량 및 수위의 변화에 따른 하상변동을 관찰하는 방법이다. 두 번째는 유량을 고정하고 수위를 변화시켜 Froude수 변화에 따른 하상변동을 관찰하는 방법이다. 하상변동의 측정은 3D스캐너를 이용하며 획득 가능한 데이터로는 하상지형도와 하상고, 파장, 파고, 파상수가 있다. Froude수 및 유량 변화에 따른 흐름과 하상변동 특성의 결과를 정량화 할 주요인자로는 3D스캐너의 데이터 값을 대표 할 수 있는 파상수를 선택하였으며 하상지형도 및 파상수를 분석하여 각 실험조건별 정량화 가능여부를 판단 할 것이다. 이번 연구의 결과로 하천흐름 조건에 따른 하상변동을 예측할 수 있다면 치수 및 하천생태계와의 연관성도 고려하여 실 하천에서의 적용 및 관리와 하상 및 하천생태계의 변동도 예측할 수 있을 것이다.

The reaction rate, equilibrium, and flow injection analysis methods were fundamentally evaluated for the determination of aqueous ammonia. The selected indophenol blue method was based on the formation of indophenol blue in which ammonium ion reacted with hypochlorite and phenol in alkaline solution. In the optimized reaction condition, the reaction followed 1st order reaction kinetics and the final product was stable. The absorbance measurements before and after the equilibrium were utilized for the reaction rate and equilibrium methods. The reaction rate methods, based on the relative analytical signals for the possibility of eliminating interferents, were shown to have good linear calibration curves but the detection limit and the calibration sensitivity were poorer than those in the equilibrium method. The detection limits were 32-49 ppb and 24 ppb for the reaction rate and equilibrium methods, respectively. In the flow injection analysis, the absorbance was measured before the equilibrium reached and thus resulted in 30% reduction of calibration sensitivity. However, the detection limit was 11 ppb, indicating that the peak-to-peak noise for the blank was remarkably improved. Compared to the manual methods, the optimized experimental condition in a closed reaction system reduced the blank absorbance and the inclusion of ammonia from the atmosphere was prevented. In addition, highly reproducible mixing of sample and reagents and analytical data extracted from continuous recording showed excellent reproducibility.
