Methods of the characteristics evaluation of turbo-molecular pumps (TMP) are well-defined in the international measurement standards such as ISO, PNEUROP, DIN, JIS, and AVS. The Vacuum Center in the Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS) has recently designed, constructed, and established the integrated characteristics evaluation system of TMPs based on the international documents by continuously pursuing and acquiring the reliable international credibility through measurement perfection. The measurement of TMP pumping speed is normally performed with the throughput and orifice methods dependent on the mass flow regions. However, in the UHV range of the molecular flow region, the high uncertainties of the gauges, mass flow rates, and conductance are too critical to precisely accumulate reliable data. In order to solve the uncertainty problems of pumping speeds in the UHV range, we introduced a SRG with 1% accuracy and a constant volume flow meter (CVFM) to measure the finite mass flow rates down to $10^{-1}$ Pa-L/s with 3% uncertainty for the throughput method. In this way we have performed the measurement of pumping speed down to $10^{-4}$ Pa with an uncertainty of less than 6% for a 1000 L/s TMP. In this article we suggest that the CVFM has an ability to measure the conductance of the orifice experimentally with flowing the known mass through the orifice chambers, so that we may overcome the discontinuity problem encountering during introducing two measurement methods in one pumping speed evaluation sequence.

The mechanism of micro-bubble generation with a pump is not clarified yet, so the design of water treatment systems with a micro-bubble generating pump is based on trial and error methods. This study tried to explain clearly quantitative relationships of experimental micro-bubble concentration ($C_{air}$) of continuous operation tests with a micro-bubble generating pump and theoretical air solubility. Operation parameters for the tests were discharge pressure ($P_g$), water ($Q_{w0}$) and air ($q_0$) flow rates, orifice diameter ($D_o$), and retention time (t). The experimental micro-bubble concentrations ($C_{air}$) at 4.8 atm of discharge pressure ($P_g$) were in the range of 21.04 to 25.29 mL/L. When the retention time (t) by changing the pipe line length ($L_p$) increased from 1.22 to 6.77s, the experimental micro-bubble concentrations ($C_{air}$) increased from 25.86 to 30.78 mL air/L water linearly. The dissolved and dispersed micro-bubble concentrations ($C_{air}$) are approximately 4 times more than the theoretical air solubility.

This paper presents a disposable passive suction pump that uses the restoring force of an elastomeric chamber for liquid transportation in a microfluidic system. The proposed suction pump can be operated by finger pressure without any peripheral equipment. To adjust the generated suction pressure, five different displacements of the suction chamber ceiling, two different chamber shapes, and five different elastic moduli of the elastomer were considered. For a cylindrical chamber with a 5 mm height and 5 mm radius, the generated suction pressure and flow rate increased almost linearly up to about 31 kPa and $160.8{\mu}L/min$, respectively, depending on the chamber deformation. A maximum suction pressure of $42.9{\pm}0.7kPa$ was obtained for a hemispherical chamber with a 2.1 mm height and 5 mm radius.

Although DAF(Dissolved Air Flotation) has been successfully accepted for water and wastewater treatment, the fundamental characteristics of the process have not been fully investigated. Water is saturated with compressed air to dissolve the air into the water at high pressure in saturation tank. Then the water containing dissolved air is released into a floatation tank at a lower pressure, generating micro-bubbles that rise gently through the water and carry the suspended matter to the surface. This study investigated the removal of sewage using automatic mixture type DAF pump and non-powered flotation tank. Characteristics of two devices were compared and analyzed with samples. The results showed that the PAC exhibited higher performance than other coagulants. When air dosage was 2.5ml/l/min, treatment was stable in operation. In the DAF pump with a pressure of 4 atm., the average size of bubbles was 36.2${\mu}m$. Removal efficiency of SS was 80%. At this time removal efficiency of COD was about 80%, of T-N was 30% and T-P was 70% in stable operation. It was concluded that DAF pump system with micro bubble performed higher efficiencies compared to general DAF system for treating wastewater.

A general procedure for the optimal design of a micro-channel heat exchanger for heat pump systems is presented. For this design, a performance analysis program that can reflect the various geometric variables of the micro-channel heat exchanger was developed. The deviation between simulated and experiment results of previous research was within 4% for the heat transfer rate. To prove the feasibility of the optimal design process, the performance of the reference heat exchanger was compared to that of the optimized heat exchanger. The $JF_{air}$ and PECv of the optimized heat exchanger were enhanced by 14% and 26%, respectively.

We have detected the resonant stimulated Raman scattering signal when the Q-switched Nd:YAG laser beam are incident on the $35~62{\mu}m$ sized water droplet as pump beam. The signals appeared as uniformly spaced peaks and the intervals between peaks become narrow as the droplet size increases. Also we have confirmed the morphology dependent resonances (MDR's) characteristic of the stimulated Raman scattering signal when the water droplet becomes nearly spherical shape after two water droplets are coupled to a droplet. The error in the measured intervals between MDR's of same mode order is about 5%.out 5%.

일체형 원자로는 증기발생기 및 가압기를 압력용기 내에 설치한 것으로서 연결배관이 없기 때문에 배관의 파단에 의한 대형 냉각재 상실사고를 근원적으로 배제하고 전체계통을 단순화 시킬 수 있다. 증기발생기는 대부분 관류식으로서 일체식과 모듈식이 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 모듈식 나선형 증기발생기를 사용한 일체형 신형경수로의 예비 개념설계를 수행하였다. 가압기는 원자로 내에 별도의 용기를 설치하는 내장형 자기가압기를 채택하였다. 제어봉 구동장치는 핵분열 반응열을 이용한 원자로 기동을 위하여 반응도를 미세하게 조정하는 것이 가능하고 지진하중과 같은 동하중의 영향을 최소화하기 위하여 원자로용기 외부로의 돌출부분을 최소화하는 설계개념을 채택하였다. 냉각재 펌프는 Canned Motor Pump를 원자로용기 상부에 수직으로 직접 부착하는 개념을 사용하였다.

유압프레스의 단점을 극복하기 위해서 서보모트를 장착하여 성형속도를 높인 서보 유압프레스를 개발하게 되었으며, 특히나 서보모터를 국내산으로 적용하여 듀얼형으로 유압시스템의 효율성을 높여 최종적으로 개발함으로써 서보 유압프레스를 완전 국산화하였다. 또한 하사점 위치 제어의 용이성을 확보하기 위해 프레스 램용 메인 실린더에 톱니나사부를 만들어 임의의 위치에 정지할 수 있는 정지정도 및 하사점 위치 제어정밀도를 향상시켰으며, 유량의 미세 제어를 통해 프레스 램의 동작성을 개선코자 하였다. 다이쿠션은 메인 실린더와의 연계 제어를 통해 제품의 손상 방지 및 제품 추출의 용이성을 확보하였으며, 소재의 종류나 제품의 형상 특성에 따라 프리모션 제어가 가능한 지식기반형 자율제어 시스템을 적용하였다. 듀얼 서보시스템과 유압펌프가 연계구동함에 따라 기존 유압프레스 보다 약 40%이상의 에너지절감을 달성할 수 있을 것으로 예측되며, 현재 에코머신 인증제도에 대한 논의가 활발한 시점에서 매우 적합하고 필요한 하이브리드형 서보 유압프레스의 국산화 개발 사례라고 하겠다.

Thin nano-sized fibres were prepared by an electrospinning method. The spinning appratus consisted of pump for polymer injection, nozzle and nozzle rotus, and an aluminum plate collected the polymer fibers. Its surface was chemically modified for selective improved adsorption of carbon monoxide at indoor level. The chemical activation enabled to form the fibres 250-350 nm in thickness with pore sizes distributed between 0.6 and 0.7 nm and an average specific surface area of $569m^2/g$. The adsorption capacities of pure (100%) and indoor (0.3%) $CO_2$, of which level frequently appears, at the ambient condition were improved from 1.08 and 0.013 to 2.2 and 0.144 mmol/g, respectively. It was found that the adsorption amount of $CO_2$ adsorbed by the chemically activated carbon nanofiber prepared through chemical activation would vary depending on the ratio of specific surface area and micropores. In particular, chemical interaction between adsorbent surface and gas molecules could enhance the selective capture of weak acidic $CO_2$.
