Combustion characteristics of a KSR-III liquid rocket engine with split-triplet (F-O-O-F) type injector elements are investigated numerically from the viewpoints of engine performance and combustion flowfield. To evaluate numerical analysis of liquid rocket engine with radial type injector arrangement, 2-D axisymmetric and 3-D calculations are carried out and the prediction of engine performance for design and off-design conditions is in a good agreement with hot-firing tests. According to 2-D axisymmetric and 3-D calculations, the prediction error is 3∼5 % from the standpoint of performance. Numerical results of combustion characteristics calculated through 3-D analysis agree well with hot-firing tests qualitatively at injector plate. Decreasing impinging angle and changing radial type injector arrangement to H type injector arrangement reduce effectively local high-temperature region. Also, it is examined that those affect the performance seriously. In conclusion, it is revealed that both injector arrangement and impinging angle are critical parameters to affect the performance and combustion characteristics of the liquid rocket engine.

This paper investigates the structural stability and reliability on improving performance of flexible brake pad used in high speed train. To this end, an improved model of flexible pad was obtained through structural analysis. Brake pad specimens were subjected to modal, stroke and endurance tests to examine the dynamic characteristics and mechanical stability. The hot spot generation with increasing rotational speed was observed on chassis dynamometer equipment and then the structurally uniform contact between the disc and pad was achieved. The temperature distribution of flexible pad was measured using the infrared camcorder. Hence, the proposed flexible pad showed the better structural stability and thermal energy emission.

Early Tertiary volcanics, volcanoclastics and granodiorite occur in the Barton Peninsula, King George Island, Antarctica. In the granodioritic stock and volcanic rocks, propylitic alteration characterized by actinolite, epidote, chlorite and calcite is widespread, and disseminations and veinlets of sulfide minerals such as pyrite, chalcopyrite and bornite are ubiquitious. The study on the hydrothermal alteration near granodioritic stock can be summarized as follows; (1) granodiorite intrusion is a small, high level stock associated with calc-alkaline volcanism, and have high copper content, (2) high temperature type of propylitic alteration and common occurrence of copper sulfides in and around granodiorite intrusion, (3) low ${\delta}^{34}S$ values of pyrites by oxidational conditions of sulfide deposition, (4) low ${\delta}^{34}S$ values of quartz and feldspar in the granodiorite, and isotopic non-equilibrium by hydrothermal alteration. It suggest that hyrothermal alteration and mineralization near granodioritc stock should be genetically related to granodiorite intrusion in the Barton Peninsula.

In this study, flow characteristics in a multi-cavity injection molding process were investigated. One of main problems occurred in the multi-cavity molding is a flow imbalance among cavities since it affects physical properties and quality of products. Charge imbalance is caused by the uneven shear stress. Therefore, changes in viscosity affect the physical properties of resin and injection conditions differ in the filling imbalance phenomenon. Through, this study focus on experimental studies of flow imbalance for PC and PP resin occurring in a balanced delivery system. Experimental results were compared with CAE results. By experimental and CAE analysis, main cause for the flow imbalance is temperature distribution in cross section of runner. New runner system with a simple change of runner shape was suggested to avoid the flow imbalance. A series of simulation to confirm feasibility of Volume Runner's effects was conducted using injection molding CAE.

We report the template-based synthesis of well-dispersed CdS nanoparticles (NPs) in the interior of poly (2-acetamidoacrylic acid) (PAAA) hydrogel as a novel type of nanocomposite without particle aggregation via ion exchange in a aqueous system. As revealed by the TEM image analysis, the mean crystallite diameter of CdS NPs embedded in hydrogel composite was 4.5 nm, and the composite did not suffer any observable change after 6 months. Desorption/decomposition of CdS/PAAA hydrogel composite was studied by evolved gas analysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (EGA-GC-MS), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) methods. From the TGA data, the thermal stability of the composite system increased by ca. 100 $^\circ$C and the content of CdS NPs in a dry composite gel was over 70 wt%. In addition, the chemical pathway was proposed for the entire decomposition process.

Small injection molded articles such as lens and mobile product parts are usually molded in multi-cavity mold. The problem occurring in multi-cavity molding is flow unbalance among the cavities. The flow unbalance affects the dimensions and physical properties of molded articles. First of all, the origin of flow unbalance is geometrical unbalance of the delivery system. However, even the geometry of the delivery system is well balanced, cavity unbalance occurs. This comes from the temperature distributions in the cross-section of runner. Temperature distribution depends upon injection speed because heat generation near runner wall is high at high injection speed. Among the operational conditions, injection speed is the most significant process variable affecting the filling unbalances in multi-cavity injection molding. In this study, experimental study of flow unbalance has been conducted for various injection speeds and materials. Also, the filling unbalances were compared with CAE results. The dimensions and weights of multi-cavity molded parts were examined. The results showed that the filling unbalances vary according to the injection speeds and resins. Subsequently, the unbalanced filling and pressure distribution in the multi-cavity affect the dimensions and physical states of molded parts.

Chalcopyrite $Cu(In,Ga)Se_2$ (CIGS) 화합물 반도체는 고효율 박막태양전지의 광 흡수층으로 사용되는 물질 중 가장 우수한 효율 (19.9%, NREL 2008)을 보유하고 있다. CIGS는 직접천이형 에너지밴드갭 (direct bandgap)을 가지고 있고, 광흡수계수가 $1{\times}10^5\;cm^{-1}$로서 반도체 중 서 가장 흡수율이 높은 재료에 속하여 두께 $1{\sim}2\;{\mu}m$의 박막으로도 고효율의 태양전지 제조가 가능하고, 또한 장기적으로 전기광학적 안정성이 매우 우수한 특성을 지니고 있다. 현재 고효율 CIGS 셀생성을 위해 널리 사용되고 있는 CIGS 흡수층 성장공정은 "co-evaporation(동시증발법)"과 2-step 공정이라 불리는 "sputter-selenization(스퍼터-셀렌화)" 방법이다. 동시증발법은 개별원소 Cu, In, Ga, Se 들을 고진공 분위기에서 고온 ($550{\sim}600^{\circ}C$)기판위에 증착하는 방법으로 소면적에서 가장 좋은 효율(~20%)을 보이는 공정이다. 하지만, 고온, 고진공 공정조건과 대면적 증착시 온도 및 조성 불균일 등의 문제점 등으로 상용화에 어려움이 있다. 스퍼터-셀렌화 공정은 1단계에서 스퍼터링 방식으로 CuGaIn 전구체를 증착하고, 2단계에서 고온($550{\sim}600^{\circ}C$)하에 $H_2Se$ 혹은 Se vapor와 반응시켜 CIGS를 생성한다. 일본의 Showa Shell와 Honda Soltec 등에 의해 이미 상업화 되었듯이, 저비용 대면적으로 상업화 가능성이 높은 공정으로 평가되고 있다. 하지만, 2단계에서 사용되는 $H_2Se$ 및 Se vapor의 유독성, 기상 Se과 금속전구체 간의 느린 셀렌화 반응속도, 셀렌화반응 후 생성된 CIGS 박막 두께방향으로의 Ga 불균일분포, 생성된 CIGS/Mo 계면 접착력 저하등의 문제점들이 해결되어야만 상업화에 성공할 수 있을 것이다. 본 Tutorial에서는 CIGS 물질의 열역학 상평형과 반응메카니즘에 대해 설명하고, 다양한 생성 공정들을 소개할 것이다.

By the mechanical alloying method. Ni-WC composite materials were prepared to improve the deformation-resistance for creep and sintering of Ni-anode at the operating temperature of $650^{\circ}C$. Mechanically alloyed powder w was initially fabricated by ball milling for 80hr, and then amorphization was occurred by the destruction of ordered crystals based on XRD analysis. In order to investigate the electrochemical performance and sheet characteristics of Ni-WC anode, tape casting process was adopted. Finally, the obtained sheet thickness of Ni- we after sintering at $1180^{\circ}C$ for 60 minutes in $H_2$ atmosphere was O.9mm and the average pore size was $3~5{\mu\textrm{m}}$ with porosities of 55%. The second phase was not observed in Ni- W matrix while W particles were finely and uniformly distributed in Ni matrix. This fine and uniform distributed W particles in Ni matrix are expected to enhance the mechanical properties of Ni anode through the dispersion and solid solution hardening mechanisms.

This study evaluates the effect of a heated circular cylinder's size on three-dimensional natural convection in a cubical enclosure. The Rayleigh number was varied between $10^3$ and $10^5$, and the Prandtl number was maintained at 0.7. In this study, the radius of the circular cylinder was changed by 0.1 L within a range of 0.1-0.4 L. The thermal and fluid flow characteristics were regarded to be independent of time in the range of the Rayleigh number and cylinder radius considered in this study. The surface-averaged Nusselt numbers of the cylinder and the enclosure were found to increase with the increase in the radius of the cylinder. The effect of the cylinder's size on natural convection in the enclosure was analyzed across the thermal and flow fields, and the distributions of the Nusselt numbers.

For the synthesis of lead chromate pigments, we investigated the characteristics of particle growth with reacting conditions in the synthetic process, the effect of additives, and its micro-capsulation. The more tiny and uniform dispersion particles could be obtained at a lower pH and diluter intial concentration. The variation range of average pigment size was increased with the agitating speed. The pigment size could be controlled by adding aluminum sulfate as an additive, which maintained the optimum particle dispersion. It was found that the optimum micro-capsulation conditions were pH 9~10 and above $90^{\circ}C$ during the micro-capsulation of lead chromate pigment, and below 0.5% humidity after micro-capsulation.
