A disc-type rotary atomizer affords advantages such as superior paint transfer efficiency, uniformity of paint pattern and particle size, and less consumption of compressed air compared to a spray-gun-type atomizer. Furthermore, it can be applied to all types of painting materials, and it is suitable for large-scale processes such as car painting. The painting quality, which is closely related to the atomizer performance, is determined by the uniformity and droplet size in accordance with the design of the bell disc surface. This study establishes the basics of how to design a surface by modeling the operating bell disc's RPM, diameter, surface angle, and film thickness considering dye characteristics such as the viscosity, density, and surface affinity.

The influence of titania nanorods with an average diameter of 10 nm and an average length of 30 nm on the electrohydrodynamic instability of block copolymer (polystyrene-b-poly(2-vinylpyridine)) thin film was investigated in this article. The presence of titania nanorods increased the dielectric constant of the film, which resulted in a systematic reduction in the wavelength of the surface instability. Cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy analysis indicated that the migration/aggregation of titania nanorods did not occur as a result of the applied electric field. This work can provide a simple route to the pattern formation using electrohydrodynamic instability with an aid of nanoparticles.

Flow characteristics of the control-rod-attached 2-dimensional circular cylinder was accomplished using by PIV techniques. model tests had been carried out with different diameters of control rods(d/D=0.1 through d/D=0.5). and the Reynolds number Re=15,000 based on the cylinder diameter(D=50mm) to predict the performance of the model and the two-frame grey-level cross-correlation method had been used to obtain the velocity distribution in the flow field. 50mm circular cylinder had been used during the whole experiments and measured results had been compared with each other. The measured results have been compared with each case. therefore this article identifies not only the mean velocity profiles but also the control effects of the control rods.

Starches of flavored glutinous rice were analyzed by using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and tested on the starch granule susceptibility to 15% H$_2$SO$_4$, glucoamylase and $\alpha$-amylase. The shape of starch granules form flavored glutinous rice varieties was polygonal and the size was 4~6 $\mu$m in diameter. According to DSC, glutinous rice starch showed onset temperature (T$_{o}$) range 59.8~62.5$^{\circ}C$ and KR92021-B-B-42-3-B and KR92021-B-B-165-1-B showed higher enthalpy ($\Delta$H) on gelatinization than others. The starches from KR92021-B-B-5-2-B and KR92021-B-B-42-3-B showed lower hydrolysis rate using 15% H$_2$SO$_4$ than KR92021-B-B-165-1-B. KR92021-B-B-5-2-B showed higher degree of hydrolysis of glucoamylase and $\alpha$-amylase than the others.

큰 하상계수를 가지는 국내 중소하천의 특성상 농업용수 등의 수자원 이용을 위해 국내에는 약 10,000개 정도의 하천 횡단구조물이 설치되어 있다. 그러나 느려진 유속으로 인하여 횡단구조물 상류에 유사가 퇴적될 확률이 높아지며, 이러한 유사는 부착된 오염물에 의한 수질 및 하상오염, 좁아진 유수단면적에 의한 통수능 저하로 발생하는 홍수위 증가 등 많은 위험성을 내포하고 있다. 이에 대한 해결책 중의 하나로 저층수 배사관(bypass pipe)을 활용하여 쌓여진 유사를 하류로 흘려보내는 방법이 있다. 저층수 배사관은 횡단구조물 상류와 하류의 하상을 연결하는 관으로써 상류와 하류의 수두차에 의해 흐름 특성이 결정된다. 하지만 배사관 내 사석이 유입되어 배제되지 않는 경우 배사관의 효율이 현저하게 저하될 가능성이 있다. 본 연구에서는 FLOW-3D를 이용하여 배사관내 사석이 유입되었을 때, 어떠한 조건에서 배제되고 배제되지 않는지를 명확히 하고자 한다. 하상이 평탄한 수로$(13.0(L){\times}5.0(B){\times}1.0(H)m)$를 재현하였으며, 배출관의 직경은 10cm로 결정하였다. 사석의 종류는 4가지(3cm, 5cm, 7cm, 9cm)로써 이를 고려하여 격자크기를 0.5cm로 결정하였다. 이는 사석의 구형형상이 충분히 잘 재현될 수 있는 격자크기이다. 모의 수행은 하류의 수위를 변화시켜가며 수행하였다. 저층수 배사관 내 유동 특성이 상류와 하류의 수두차에 의해 결정되기 때문에, 모의의 효율성을 위해 상류의 수위는 일정한 값으로 진행하였다. 모의 결과 수위차가 클수록 배제가 잘되는 경향을 보였다. 입자의 크기와 상하류 수위차를 무차원화 한 변수를 결정하였다. 분석결과 이 변수가 일정 값을 넘어서는 경우 배제가 되며, 반대로 이 값을 넘어서지 못한 경우 배제가 되지 않음을 확인하였다. 향후 다양한 관의 형상에 대해서도 배사관 내 한계조건을 도출하여, 저층수 배사관의 설계 및 시공에 도움이 되고자 한다.

Past few years have seen the growing importance of micro shock tubes in various engineering applications. A pharma ballistic technique is one such application which uses micro shock tube to accelerate drug particles and penetrate into skin, thus avoiding the usual injection drug delivery system. But for the efficient design of such instruments requires the detailed knowledge of shock characteristics and flow field inside a micro shock tube. Due to many factors such as boundary layer, low Reynolds number and high Knudsen number shock propagation inside micro shock tubes will be quite different from that of the well established macro shock tubes. In the present study, experimental studies were carried out on a micro shock tube of 3 mm diameter to investigate flow characteristics and shock propagation. Pressure values were measured at different locations inside the driven section. From the experimental values other parameters like shock velocity, shock strength were found and shock wave diagram was constructed.

The fluidization characteristics of the furan foundry sand fluidized bed and the heat transfer characteristics on a single spiral coil tube in the bed have been investigated. In the paper, the heat transfer coefficients for a single spiral coil tube are measured in the furan foundry sand bed as a function of the ratio of heated coil tube pitch to diameter(p/Do) and the ratio of heated coil tube pitch to particle size(p/dp). The experimental results are as follows. 1) Mean heat transfer coefficients increases according to the increasing ratio of heated coil tube pitch to diameter(p/Do). 2) The Increasing rates of mean Nusselt numbers are more greater in the case of p/Do=1.58 than p/Do=4.75. 3) Mean Nusselt number can be expressed by the following equation, $Nu_{mean}=C\;Re^m\;Pr_g^{0.4}(p/dp)^n$.

We investigated the microstructure and morphological characteristics of microplastics added to rinse off cosmetics by scanning electron microscope. The size of the microplastic was in a wide range of sizes, from $250{\mu}m$ to 1.5mm in diameter. The small microplastics were in the shape of elongated particles and the large microplastics were cuboidal. Most cubic microplastics were observed in the form of squares or rectangles. The surface of the cubic microplastic was smoothly observed without protruding portions, but irregularly many gaps were formed. The gap between openings was measured from about $5{\mu}m$ to $20{\mu}m$. It has not been confirmed that these gaps are formed from the surface of the microplastic to the inside there of.

The Discrete Element Method (DEM) has been widely used in granular material researches. Especially, if material has a large deformation, such as ground, it can be a useful method to analyze. In this study, to simulate ground formations, DEM was used. The main purpose of DEM analysis was to investigate the numerical model which can predict the TBM performance by simulating excavating procedure. The selected EPB TBM has a 7.73 m of diameter and six spokes. And two pre-defined excavation conditions with the different rotation speeds per minute (RPM) of the cutterhead was applied. In the modeled cutterhead, the open ratio of cutterhead was 21.31% and number of cutters (including disc cutter and cutter bit) was 219. From the results, reaction forces and resistant torques at the cutterhead face and cutting tools, were measured and compared. Additionally the muck discharge rate and accumulated muck discharge by the screw auger were evaluated.

The direct spinning of carbon nanotube (CNT) fibers is a promising method in the high performance composite materials. However, most of the reported CNT arrays do not have spinning properties because of their limited synthesis conditions. In this study, we investigate the properties of spinnable CNT arrays, which is closely related to the morphology of CNT array. The array morphology controlled by controlling the conditions of catalyst, carbon source, etc. By additional carbon source of ethylene and changing the composition of the catalyst, the waviness of the CNT array can be remarkably reduced, which leads to improve of the spinning properties. The synthesized CNT arrays were well aligned along c-axis and the synthesis conditions of the spinning array could be derived.
