The study focused on the flow-supply characteristics of the liquid oxidizer $N_2O$ reserved in a tank without any pressurization devices. It was taken accounted that the change of material properties to temperature in the oxidizer tank and the discharge coefficients of both liquid and gas for more precise prediction of the supply mass-flow rate of $N_2O$ oxidizer. To validate the prediction model derived in the study, the experiments were conducted and compare with the theoretical results.

1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ($BMIM^+BF_4{^-}$) and $Al_2O_3$ as metal oxide for preparation of composite membrane were utilized for the $CO_2$ separation. When 13 nm $Al_2O_3$ nanoparticles were incorporated into ionic liquid $BMIM^+BF_4{^-}$, the separation performance for composite membrane showed the selectivity ($CO_2/N_2$) of 30.5 and $CO_2$ permeance of 45.7 GPU. The enhanced separation performance was attributable to the increased $CO_2$ solubility by both oxide layer of $Al_2O_3$ and abundant free ions of ionic liquid. In particular, $Al_2O_3$ nanoparticles acted as obstacles to nitrogen gas, resulting in the decrease of permeability of nitrogen gas. As a result, the carbon dioxide separation performance could be enhanced.

Significant structure theory was applied to some liquid mixture systems ranging from simple monatomic molecule systems to polyatomic molecule systems, and the activity coefficients ${\gamma}$ of the liquid mixture systems were calculated over whole mole fractions using the following thermodynamic relation $RTln_{{\gamma}i} = (\frac{{\partial A}^E}{{\partial N}_i})_{T,V,N_i} $ where $A^E$ represents the excess Helmholtz free energy, and $N_i$ is the number of molecules of component i. The activity coefficients of the solutions such as monatomic molecule systems (Ar-Kr, Kr-Xe) and diatomic molecule systems $(Ar-O_2,\;N_2-CO)$ and $CH_4-Kr$ systems whose components have similar shapes for intermolecular potential curves were calculated successfully only with the ${\delta}E_s$, correction parameter for energy $E_s$, for mixture systems. For other systems such as $Ar-N_2,\;O_2-N_2\;and\;CH_4-C_3H_8$ whose components have dissimilar intermolecular potential curve shapes an additional correction parameters ${\delta}$V and even one more parameter ${\delta}$n were necessary [see Eqs.(10)∼(12)].

The purpose of this paper is to study combustion characteristics with the different phase of oxidizer in hybrid rocket combustion. HDPE(High Density Polyethylene) as fuel and $GN_2O$(Gas $N_2O$), $LN_2O$(Liquid $N_2O$) as oxidizer were used to perform the experiments. An investigation was performed for a change of the regression rate, pressure of combustion chamber and combustion efficiency according to the variation of oxidizer phase. In case of using $LN_2O$ as oxidizer, the regression rate is not significantly different from using $GN_2O$ as oxidizer. It is considered that combustion energy is much larger than latent heat energy which was used in the evaporation of liquid oxidizer. However propulsion performance efficiency for $LN_2O$ showed lower value than for $GN_2O$. By increasing the flow rate of liquid oxidizer, heat transfer needed for vaporization of liquid oxidizer was increased, which resulted in the growth of combustion instability.

The transient state theory of significant liquid structure is applied to nitrous oxide and nitrogen tetroxide. The partition functions for the two liquids are derived according to the transient state theory. The various thermodynamic properties; such as, molar volumes, vapor pressures, entropies of vaporization, and critical point properties agree well with the experimental values.

로켓 혹은 우주발사체의 주엔진에는 대부분 연료와 산화제를 연소시켜 나오는 에너지를 사용하는 화학로켓이 주종을 이루어 왔다. 이러한 로켓엔진에서 그동안 연료로는 수소계, 탄화수소계, 아민계 등 다양한 화학물질이 사용되어 왔으나, 산화제로는 강한 산화성을 나타내면서 밀도가 높은 몇몇 물질만이 제한적으로 사용되어져 왔으며, 최근에는 주로 액체산소(LOx)와 사산화질소(N2O4)가 사용되고 있다. 그러나 산화제 중 액체산소는 극저온이면서 상대적으로 밀도가 낮고, 사산화질소는 강한 독성을 지니고 있으며 액체로 존재하는 구간이 좁아 연구 목적의 소형발사체를 구현하는 것에는 많은 어려움이 있다. 이러한 이유로 최근 소형발사체 개발분야에서는 상온저장성이면서 친환경적인 과산화수소(H2O2)와 아산화질소(N2O)를 산화제로 활용하는 것에 대한 관심이 고조되고 있으나, 대형 추진기관을 개발하는 연구자들로부터는 액체산소를 사용할 때 보다 엔진 자체의 비추력이 상대적으로 낮다는 이유로 활용이 외면되어 온 것이 사실이다. 본 연구에서는 엔진 자체의 추진성능 보다는 사실상 발사체의 목적이라고 할 수 있는 추진단 속도증분을 성능의 지표로 삼아 평가하였으며, 결과를 통하여 과산화수소와 아산화질소의 높은 밀도가 엔진의 낮은 비추력을 충분히 보상할 수 있음을 보였다. 과산화수소와 아산화질소는 교육/연구용 소형발사체 구성에 충분히 활용가능한 산화제이며, 실제 발사에서 충분한 비행성능을 기대할 수 있는 물질로 평가할 수 있다.

$TiO_2$ particles with various shapes were synthesized by using a modified sol-gel method with binary ionic liquids. The structural properties of the particles were significantly affected by the composition of ionic liquids. This is mainly attributed to the interaction between the organic solvent and ionic liquid at the interface leading to the formation of particle structure. The photocatalytic activity of the prepared samples was also examined for the degradation of 4-chlorophenol. Among the particles, $TiO_2$ prepared with 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate and 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate showed the best photocatalytic performance.

A hybrid sounding rocket carrying about 10kg payload reaching up to 15km altitude has been designed. The commercial seamless aluminium tube and liquid ${N_2}O$ without pressurization devices were chosen as rocket motor case and oxidizer supply system respectively. A hybrid rocket engine performing required propulsion impulse is designed with time dependent internal ballistic scheme. Engine performance, aerodynamic characteristics, and trajectory were predicted by a integral technique of internal ballistics and external ballistics. The design results were evaluated by comparison with previous experimental data, technical reports, and literatures.

Metallocene was supported on the silica, which was functionalized with aminosilanes such as aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (1NS) or N-[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]ethylenediamine (2NS), and ionic liquids such as 1-butyl-4-methylpyridinium chloride (Cl), tributylmethylammonium chloride (Amm), benzyldimethyltetradecylammonium chloride (Ben), 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium chloride (Pyr), and then ethylene polymerizations were performed. The Zr contents of $SiO_2/1NS/IL/(n-BuCp)_2ZrCl_2$ and $SiO_2/2NS/IL/(n-BuCp)_2ZrCl_2$ were lower than those of only aminosilane-treated silicas. However, the polymerization activity of $SiO_2/1NS/IL/(n-BuCp)_2ZrCl_2$ was higher than that of $SiO_2/1NS/(n-BuCp)_2ZrCl_2$. The polymerization activity of $SiO_2/2NS/IL/(n-BuCp)_2ZrCl_2$ was lower than that of $SiO_2/2NS/(n-BuCp)_2ZrCl_2$ due to much lower Zr content.

The embrittlement of fast neutron-irradiated reactor pressure vessel (RPV) steels was investigated by X-ray diffraction patterns at room temperature and $M\ddot{o}ssbauer$ spectroscopy at room- and liquid nitrogen-temperature. Neutron fluence on the samples were $10^{12},\;10^{13},\;10^{14},\;10^{15},\;10^{16},\;10^{17},\;10^{18}\;n/cm^2$. The X-ray diffraction patterns showed that the structure of the neutron unirradiated sample was bcc type, where as but the neutron irradiated samples with the fluence higher than $10^{17}\;n/{\cal}cm^2$ were so severely damaged, that bcc type structure disappeared. The $M\ddot{o}ssbauer$ spectra of all samples showed superposition of two or more sextets. In this paper all $M\ddot{o}ssbauer$ spectra were fitted by three set of sextet. The isomer shift and quadrupole splitting values were found around zero. At liquid nitrogen temperature, magnetic hyperfine field and absorption area increase rapidly S 1 sextet in the samples of $10^{17}\~10^{18}\;n/{\cal}cm^2$ neutron fluences. And at room temperature, magnetic hyperfine field and absorption increased rapidly at SI sextet in the samples of $10^{17}\~10^{18}\;n/{\cal}cm^2$ neutron fluences. This rapid increase of magnetic hyperfine field and absorption area were inferred to be caused by the change of $^{56}Fe,\;^{55}Mn$ into $^{57}Fe$ due to by neutron irradiation.
