Mass transport through nanoporous structures such as nanopores or nanochannels has fundamental electrochemical implications and many potential applications as well. These structures can be particularly useful for water treatment, energy conversion, biosensing, and controlled delivery of substances. Earlier research focused on creating nanopores with diameters ranging from tens to hundreds of nanometers that can selectively transport cationic or anionic charged species. However, recent studies have shown that nanopores with diameters of a few nanometers or even less can achieve more complex and versatile transport control. For example, nanopores that mimic biological channels can be functionalized with specific receptors to detect viruses, small molecules, and even ions, or can be made hydrophobic and responsive to external stimuli, such as light and electric field, to act as efficient valves. This review summarizes the latest developments in nanopore-based systems that can control mass transport based on the size of the nanopores (e.g., length, diameter, and shape) and the physical/chemical properties of their inner surfaces. It also provides some examples of practical applications of these systems.

In the present study, the characteristic of flow distribution in the channel of a plate heat exchanger is investigated numerically. In order to accomplish the efficient and fast analyses of the flow characteristics in the channel, a semi-microscopic analysis has been performed using a porous media model. For semi-microscopic analysis using porous media, the flow resistance coefficients are obtained through the result of pressure drop in the experimental data. The results showed that the variation of mass flow rate, geometry and chevron angle strongly depend on the flow distribution in the channel. Particularly, the chevron angle is most important factor for uniform flow distribution.

휘발성유기화합물(volatile organic compounds, 이하 'VOCs')은 대기 중에서 태양광선에 의해 질소산화물과 광화학적 산화반응을 일으켜 그 결과 지표면의 오존농도를 증가시켜 스모그(Smog) 현상을 초래시키는 모든 유기화합물을 일컫는다. 이러한 VOCs를 제거하기 위하여 여러 방법이 제시되고 있는데, 촉매를 이용하여 VOCs를 산화시켜 제거하는 촉매 산화법은 촉매사용으로 인하여 소각법에 비하여 조업온도를 많이 떨어뜨릴 수 있으므로, 에너지 소비의 절감과 이에 따른 제2의 오염물질의 배출이 거의 없다는 점에서 유리한 면을 갖고 있어 VOCs 제거에 가장 적합한 방법이라고 할 수 있다.

Flow and temperature fields of a mid-size vehicle engine room are examined numerically to analyze the enhancement of cooling efficiency of several different design cases in a front body shape. The wall temperatures of a radiator and an engine parte are utilized to predict the effects of engine cooling on the thermal environment and the cooling efficiency in an engine room. The analyzed results are the mass flow rate at the upper and lower inlets, in the radiator, and the condenser. It is shown that the shape of the front end, lay-out of the engine parts, and the presence of the undercover greatly influence the flow and temperature fields, and the enhancement of cooling efficiency in the engine room.

Experimental study on combustion characteristics of a regenerative combustor has performed. High-temperature air combustion in the regenerative combustor is obtained through heat recovery from exhaust gas flow by porous ceramic materials and through alternation of air flow direction through the combustor. Temperature field, CO and NOx emission with respect to the frequency of alternation are measured. It is found that at initial stage of the alternation, temperature of inlet section of main combustion chamber is increased sharply since both high temperature air preheated by the ceramics and prompt fuel injection results in rapid combustion. Following this initial stage, combustion temperature is reduced as the preheated air temperature is reduced. However peak temperature in the chamber and exhaust gas temperature are decreased as the alternation period is reduced, increased temperature of ceramic is observed. CO and NOx emission with respect to the alternation period is also examined. It is found that there exists a range of optimum alternating period for CO and NOx emission characteristics.

Combustion phenomena(characteristics) of organic solvents including various alcohols Immobilized on ceramic balls were studied. Experiments were performed by burning methyl, ethyl, and propyl alcohol immobilized on sands (particle size 0.35mm) and coramic balls(particle size 1~5mm) to measure mass burning rate, height burning rate and combustion temperature. The longer time from ignition to extinguishment was resualted from the larger particle size of ceramic balls and the smaller size of ceramic balls exhibited the higher mass burning rate. Of alcohols tested the relative magnitude of facilitation of combustion was methyl >ethyl >propyl. Combustion temperatare of alcohols, without regard to the types of alcohols, was not increased with smaller ceramic balls(up to 3mm of particle size). However, with larger ceramic balls, combustion temperatare of alcohols was increased by 40~5$0^{\circ}C$ and the highest combustion temperatare was obtained with sands(particle size 0.35mm). Also, second rising was occurred at the combustion time of I5-20min. and this second rising time was increased with the smaller particle. These results will be able to be used for petrochemical industries using particles to evaluate the danger of fire and explosion.

투과증발 시스템은 막 분리 기술의 일종으로 액체 혼합물 중의 한 성분에 대해 친화적인 비다공성 막을 사용하여 그 성분을 선택적으로 투과시켜 혼합물을 분리하는 기술이다. 투과증발 시스템에서는 Feed가 비교적 높은 온도에서 액상 형태로 막의 Feed side에 공급되어 막을 투과한 물질(Permeate)은 Permeate side에서 기화된 후 냉각기로부터 공급되는 Cold brine에 의하여 응축되며, 이는 투과증발막 투과 구동력이 각 성분의 증기압 차이기 때문에 이를 크게 유지하기 위함이다. 현재 투과증발 시스템이 상업적으로 적용되고 있는 공정은 유기물 탈수 공정으로, 이 공정에서는 물에 대한 용해도 및 투과 속도가 우수한 친수성 막을 이용하여 유기물과 물의 혼합물로부터 물을 제거하여 유기물을 농축하며, 대표적인 유기물은 에탄올, Isopropyl alcohol(IPA), 아세톤, MIBK, Ethyl acetate, THF 등의 중성 유기물이다.

Flow distribution of a mid-size vehicle in engine room was investigated numerically to analyze the flow performance of given design cases in a front body of the mid-size vehicle. The data analyzed are the mass flow rate at the upper and lower openings, in the radiator, and the degree of non-uniformity of the velocity field at the inlet of the radiator. It is presented that the shape of the front end and the presence of the undercover greatly affect the flow fields, therefore, the flow performance.
