Pintle injector is known to have been adopted as injector of Lunar Module Descent Engine (LMDE) and contributed to success of the Apollo program and recently used in merlin engine. In this study, 500N Lab-Scale pintle injector thruster was manufactured and the combustion experiment with LOx/GCH4 was conducted. However, the proto-type thruster was showed some problems, such as low combustion efficiency and melting of pintle tip. To solve these problems, the flow guide in pintle tip was suggested through the CFD simulation. After addition of flow guide module, the combustion efficiency increased and pintle tip did not melt until the end of combustion.

태양광산업의 value chain중 up-stream쪽인 고순도 실리콘산업은 셀, 모듈, 시스템 쪽에 비하여 영업 이익률이나 부가가치 측면에서 매우 높은 성장성을 현재 보여주고 있으며 최근 원자력산업의 안전성 문제가 대두됨으로 인하여 태양광수요가 전 세계적으로 증대되는 경향을 나타내어 태양광용 실리콘의 수요가 확대됨과 아울러 spot시장에서의 가격 또한 상승하고 있다. 이런 관점에서 잉곳 및 웨이퍼 가공 중에 발생하는 고순도 실리콘 폐기물의 재활용 이 다시 주목받고 있다. 태양전지 웨이퍼(wafer)용 소재는 6N급 이상의 결정질 실리콘 잉곳(ingot)이 주를 이루며, 고효율의 셀을 제조하기 위해서 단결정 실리콘 잉곳이 많이 사용된다. 실리콘 단결정을 육성하는 방법에는 Floating zone 법, Czochralski 법, Bridgeman 법, CVD 등 매우 다양하다. 이 중 Czochralski 법은 전체 생산량의 대부분을 차지하고 있는 방법으로, 용융액에서 결정을 인상하여 ingot을 제작하는 방법이다. 그러나 대량의 전기에너지를 소비하여 제작되는 고순도의 실리콘 단결정 잉곳은 후 가공공정에서 그 절반 이상이 분말(powder) 및 슬러지(sludge)로 폐기되므로, 자원의 재활용 및 환경오염 측면에서 주요과제가 되고 있다. Czochralski 법으로 제작된 ingot의 경우 그 표면이 매끄럽지 못하여, 웨이퍼 단위의 가공 시 형태가 진원이 될 수 있도록 표면을 미리 연마(grinding)하는데, 이때에도 미세 분말이 다량 발생하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 고순도 단결정 실리콘 ingot의 연마 가공공정에서 발생한 미세 분말을 용해하여 보았다. 진공 챔버(chamber) 내부에 유도가열 코일과 냉도가니로 구성된 장비를 통해 전자기유도가열을 이용하여 실리콘 분말 폐기물을 용해하고, 그 시편을 ICP-MS 및 비저항 측정을 통해 분말 의 특성을 조사하여 재활용 가능성을 검토해 보았다.

Gouging is defined as the removal of weld metal and base metal from the opposite of a partially welded joint to facilitate complete joint penetration. Since the work by current method needs skillful welding and grinding, there is a limit on the increase of operation efficiency. Noise and dust from the weld gouging also deteriorate the work place and cause environmental problems. In this study, the gouging work by cutting method is proposed to overcome the defects from weld gouging such as low productivity, severe noise, dense dust, and so on. The developed cutting gouging system removes material as much as $13,565mm^3/min$, and enlarge the labor productivity as three times compared to that by weld gouging method.

Recently, the amount of thermosetting plastic wastes has increased with the production of reinforced plastic composites and causes serious environmental problems. The epoxy resins, one of the versatile thermosetting plastics with excellent properties, cannot be melted down and remolded as what is done in the thermoplastic industry. In this research, a series of experiments that decompose epoxy resin and recover carbon fibers from carbon fiber reinforced epoxy composites applied to railway vehicles was performed. We experimentally examined various decomposition processes and compared their decomposition efficiencies and mechanical property of recovered carbon fibers. For the prevention of tangle of recovered carbon fibers, each composites specimen was fixed with a Teflon supporter and no mechanical mixing was applied. Decomposition products were analyzed by scanning electron microscope (SEM), gas chromatography mass spectrometer (GC-MS), and universal testing machine (UTM). Carbon fibers could be completely recovered from decomposition process using nitric acid aqueous solution, liquid-phase thermal cracking and pyrolysis. The tensile strength losses of the recovered carbon fibers were less than 4%.

The characteristics of supersonic coaxial/off-axis jet impingements on a slanted kerf surface were experimentally studied, to investigate the role of the assist gas that removes molten materials from cut zone formed by laser machining. In this parametric study, hundreds of high-resolution schlieren images were obtained for various gas pressures, distances between nozzle exit and kerf surface, kerf widths, and alignments of off-axis nozzle. It was noticed that simply increasing the assist gas pressure was not effective in eliminating the flow separation that occurs downstream of the kerf surface. However, it was also observed that by increasing the kerf width and utilizing off-axis nozzles, the separation of the assist gas on the kerf surface can be weakened. The effect of the distance between the nozzle exit and the kerf surface on the characteristics of separation occurring on the kerf surface was found to be lower in the case of supersonic nozzles than that in the case of sonic nozzles.

Since the power density of the VHTR(Very High Temperature Reactor) is lower, there is less possibility of core melt. VHTR has no risk of explosion caused by hydrogen generation when the loss of coolant accident occurs, which is another advantage. Along with safety benefit, it can be used as a process heat supplier near demand facilities because coolant temperature is very high enough to be used for industrial purpose. In this paper, we designed the primary system using VHTR and the secondary system providing electricity and process heat. Based on that 350 MW thermal reactor proposed by NGNP(Next Generation Nuclear Part), we developed conceptual model that the IHX(Intermediate Heat Exchanger) loop transports 300 MW thermal energy to the secondary system. In addition, we analyzed thermodynamic behavior and performed the efficiency analysis and optimization study depending on major parameters.

최근 인터넷의 보급과 함께 고화질 및 양방향 TV, VOD 방송, 화상 전화 등의 멀티미디어 시대가 열리면서 초고속 통신 시스템에 대한 관심이 증가되고 있다. 특히 화상이나 동영상 같은 대량의 정보가 졸은 품질 및 빠른 속도로 전달될 수 있는 통신 시스템의 필요성이 대두됨에 따라 가장 효율적인 고속 전송 수단으로 광통신이 이용되고 있으며 그에 따른 광통신 능 수동 소자 개발에 관한 연구도 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 이러한 광통신 소자 중 원하는 빛을 선택적으로 투과하고 반사할 수 있는 flat-band pass(FP) filter의 역할이 중요한 부분을 차지하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 IR 영역에서 투과성이 우수한 칼코게나이드 물질을 이용해 l 차원 광자결정구조의 FP-filter를 설계, 제작하고 그에 대한 특성을 평가하였다. 시료는 5N의 순도를 갖는 As, Se, Te 물질을 준비하고 $As_xSe_yTe_z$를 조성비에 맞추어서 석영관에 진공 봉입한 후 용융 혼합하여 $As_{33}Se_{67}$과 $As_{40}Se_{25}Te_{35}$ 조성의 두 가지 비정질 벌크를 제작하였다. 제작된 시료의 굴절률은 ellipsometer을 사용하여 측정하였고, 본 연구진이 자체 개발한 계산툴에 따라 다중층막 구조를 설계하였다. 열 증착법을 이용하여 설계된 구조에 맞게 기판에 올리는 방법으로 1차원 광자결정 구조의 다중층막 샘플을 제작하였고 UV-Vis-IR Spectroscopy를 사용하여 반사도와 투과도를 측정하였다. 광통신용 L/C 밴드 주파수 범위에서 투과성이 우수한 칼코게나이드 박막의 1차원 광자결정 구조는 FP-filter등의 소자로써 유용하게 사용될 수 있다.

Electric arc furnace steelmaking dust has various physicochemical properties as volatile components generated in the melting process of steel scraps in an electric arc furnace, which is captured in oxide form as fine powder by reacting with oxygen in the air. In order to efficiently recycle these electric arc furnace dust, a kinetic basic experiment and a pilot production test were carried out in parallel. As a result, it was found that the electric arc furnace dust contain a large amount of Cl and alkali components, thus it was expected that the compounds have a great adverse effect on the actual operation for the recycling. It was confirmed that the volatilization behavior was progressing actively at $1100^{\circ}C$ and the electric arc furnace dust was melted at $1250^{\circ}C$. These results are the same as a result of pilot test for the formation behavior of zinc oxide and reduced iron. These results should be useful as basic data for designing the recycling plant of the electric arc furnace dust and establishing the operating conditions.

Coal gasification process, which had developed originally to convert coal from hydrogen and carbon monoxide, has used and developed in many countries because of environmental advantages such as carbon dioxide storage, decrease of pollutants and so on. Generally entrained-flow gasification process using pulverized coal under $75{\mu}m$ is used in Integrated Gas Combined Cycle(IGCC) because of easy scale up and high efficiency of energy conversion. Especially entrained-flow gasifers with coal water slurry have been used in many applications due to its fully developed technologies. In this paper, several technologies for coal-water slurry gasification that involves slurry preparation, burner, gasifier, slag melting and numerical simulation for plant design and operation were investigated. Entrained-flow gasification with coal water slurry can be used for synfuel production, SNG, chemicals as well as IGCC. To develop hybrid gasification process and use different types of coal, it is necessary to develop new technologies that will increase efficiency of the process.
