Modispersed silica fine particles were produced from the hydrolysis of $Si(OC_2H_5)_4$ by using batch-semibatch mixed systems. Four types of mixed process, i.e., batch-batch, batch-semibatch, semibatch-batch, semibatch-semibatch, were used in order to measure mean particle size, particle size distribution, yield, and packing density. As a result of the test, silica particles prepared by semibatch-semibatch process were larger than those prodeced from any other systems in particle size and yield. On the other hand, silica particles prepared by batch-semibatch process were better than those produced from any other systems in particle size distribution and packing density. Especially, it was found that particle size of $SiO_2$ prepared by semibatch-batch process decreased with increasing the reaction time. Therefore, batch-semibatch process was a successful method for controlling the size, i.e., a narrow distribution of a particle size which ranges to several microns.

열방성 액정고분자와 폴리카보네이트를 대상 수지로 하여 용융혼합기로 액정고분자 의 함량, 혼합속도 및 온도등의 변환에 따른 훈련 특성을 측정하고 고분자 혼합물의 혼련조 건과 유변학적 특성 모폴로지 사이의 관계를 조사하였다. 혼련 토크는 100rpm의 혼합속도 에서 극소값을 보이며 혼합기 내의 전단속도가 낮기 때문에 혼력에의해서는 LCP가 섬유상 으로 형성되지 못하고 구형의 입자로 존재함을 알수 있었다. 혼합물의 점도는 시험된 전단 속도 영역에서 순수한 고분자보다 현저히 낮으며 5wt%의 소량 첨가로도 5배의 점도 감소 효과를 보이고 LCP함량이 약 30wt%일 경우 점도 및 혼합에너지가 최소로 되었다. Capillary 레오미터의 실험결과 LCP/PC의 점도비가 1보다 작거나 같튼 전단장하에서 LCP 는 섬유상을 형성하였으며 높은 점도비의 경우 LCP의 변형이 어려워 구형의 입자로 존재하 였다. 또한 혼합물의 PC Tg 이동은 에스터르 교환 반응에 의한 부분적인 혼화성의 증가에 기인함을 알수 있었다.

디젤기관의 경우는 종래부터 직분식이 주류를 이루었고, 근래에는 분사압력의 고압화가 진행중이다. 분사압력의 고압화에 의해 연소효율의 향상 및 배출가스중의 입자상물질(PM:Particulate Matter)의 저감을 유도하고 있으나, 연소가스의 고온화로 인해 질소산화물(NOx:Nitrogen Oxides)은 증가한다. 따라서, 분사기간의 지연(Retard)이나 파일럿분사(Pilot injection)등의 혼합기제어에 의해 질소산화물의 저감을 꾀하고 있다. 이와 같이 디젤기관에 있어서도 혼합기 형성의 최적화에 의한 연소제어를 시도하는 수법이 중시되고 있고, 이를 위해서는 디젤분무 구조에 기초한 혼합기의 형성기구에 대한 규명이 매우 중요하다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 보다 고도의 혼합기형성 제어를 위한 기초연구로서 고온 고압장에서의 증발디젤자유분무구조를 해석하였으며, 계측영역은 연료와 주위기체와의 혼합이 활발히 진행되는 분무의 하류영역으로 설정하고, 입자화상속도측정법(particle Image Velocimetry:PIV)을 이용한 분무의 유동해석을 기초로 증발 디젤분무의 구조 해석을 행하였다. 실험조건으로서 분사압력을 72MPa, 112MPa로 각각 변화시켰다.

In general, magnetic abrasive polishing can be used to effectively produce a mirror-like surface; however, industrial applications of this process involve some unsolved problems. For example, the polishing efficiency is low, and the used abrasives have to be treated. In this study, which is aimed at solving these problems, a novel medium of silicone gel, consisting of ferromagnetic particles and abrasives, is developed, and the effect of this medium is assessed on the basis of Taguchi's experimental method. The workpiece is a tungsten carbide steel and the surface roughness after magnetic abrasive polishing using the silicone gel is evaluated.

O/W emulsions with mixed nonionic surfactants(polyoxyethylene(20)sorbitan monostearate/sorbitan sesquioleate), liquid paraffin, water prepared by direct inversion emulisification method and continuous inversion emulsification Method. The one-step, two-step and three-step phase inversion emulsification method were used in experiments. Effect of added water on droplet size of final O/W emulsions which is prepared by phase inversion emulsification method were investigated. In direct inversion emulsification method(two-step emulsification method), fine and homogeneous droplets of OIW emulsions were formed after phase inversion steps i.e. ,W/O - (W/O) If double emulsion - O/W emulsion. In continuous inversion emulsification method(three-step emulsification method), fine and homogeneous O/W emulsion were formed after phase inversion steps i.e., W/O - pseudomicroemulsion - O/W. By latter method, more Fine and homogenuous droplets were formed than former method. 10-10, 8 HLB region of mixed non-ionic surfactants could produce most fine droplets. This HLB region had maximum values of solubilization water and This HLB value of mixed nonionic surfactants produced fine and homogenuous droplets.

The extended Maxwell-Wagner polarization model is employed to describe the ER(Electrorheological) behavior of bi-dispersed ER suspensions, and solutions to the equation of motion are obtained by dynamic simulation. Under the same particle volume fraction, it is found that the dynamic yield stresses of uniform size suspensions do not depend on the particle size. Compared with uniform size suspensions, the dynamic yield stress is reduced for ER fluids consisting of two kinds of particles with different sizes. Compared with the dynamic yield stress behavior, for ${\dot{\gamma}}^*$≧0.01 the shear stress shows different behaviors depending on the particle sizes and the raio of different size particles. The simulation results show the nonlinear ER behavior (∆_𝛕 ∝ Eⁿ, n ≈ 1.55) of the conducting particle ER suspensions.

Laminar mixed convection of a nanofluid consists of water and $Al_2O_3$ in a horizontal circular tube has been studied numerically. Two-phase mixture model has been used to investigate hydrodynamic and thermal behaviors of the nanofluid with variables physical properties. Three dimensional Navier-Stokes, energy and volume fraction equations have been discretized using the finite volume method. The Brownian motions of nanoparticles have been considered to determine the thermal conductivity and dynamic viscosity of $Al_2O_3$-Water nanofluid, which depend on temperature. The calculated results show good agreement with the previous numerical data. Results show that in a given Reynolds number (Re), increasing solid nanoparticles volume fraction and Richardson number (Ri) increases the convective heat transfer coefficient and wall shear stress.

Biodegradable poly (L-lactide) (L-PLA) solution in methylene chloride was precipitated into microparticles by using supercritical carbon dioxide modified with polar cosolvents. The effects of the amount of polar cosolvents, solution concentration, temperature, and solution flow rate on the formation of microparticles were investigated. The mean particle size was found to increase with the increase of solution concentration and flow rate. It was also observed that the particle size not only increases but the size distribution also becomes less uniform as the temperature increases. The percent recovery of microparticles was found to be 30∼40% at all experimental conditions. The supercritical carbon dioxide modified with methanol and ethanol was employed to enhance the recovery, resulting in significant improvement up to about 80 and 70%, for methanol and ethanol, respectively. Furthermore, the mean diameter of L-PLA microparticles was found to be less than 1 $\mu\textrm{m}$ for both cosolvents.

Dissolution of some of geo-materials may yield the loss of the soil strength and the settlement of earth structures. The goal of this study is to monitor the several physical behaviors of soluble mixtures during dissolution. Sand-salt mixtures are used to monitor the meso to macro response including the settlements and shear waves. The mixtures of photoelastic and ice disks are used to monitor micro to meso behavior of soluble mixture including the void ratio, force chain, coordination number and horizontal force changes. In the sand-salt mixtures, shear waves are measured by using bender elements in conventional oedometer cells. In the photoelastic disk - ice disk mixtures, micro to meso response are measured by digital images and load cells. The shear wave velocity decreases at the initial stage of the dissolution, and then increases and approaches to asymptotic value. The larger dissoluble particle and the more random packing produces the severe horizontal fore change. After dissolution, the void increases and the coordination number decreases. This study demonstrates that the particle level behavior such as the changes of the force chain, void ratio, and coordination number affects the global behavior such as the change of the shear wave velocity and horizontal force of the system.

PD의 저항성은 에폭시원형을 포함한 3종류 즉, 에폭시 마이크로 콤포지트를 실란처리 및 미처리한 경우 그리고 나노-마이크로입자가 혼합된 콤포지트의 부분방전저항성을 연구하였다. 이들 재료들은 rod - gap - plane 전극 하에서 PD가 적용되었다. 원형에폭시수지보다 마이크로 콤포지트가 부분방전저항성이 우월하였다. 더욱이 SiO2 나노입자-마이크로 혼합된 콤포지트가 더욱더 큰 저항성을 얻었다. 이는 마이크로 입자사이로 나노입자가 치밀한 조직을 갖고 있기에 이러 우월한 특성을 나타낸 것으로 판단된다.
