The combustion process and the performance of a diesel engine are seriously affected by the ignition delay period of the fuel used. Some methods for improving the combustion process in the engine cylinder are to well match the strength of air swirl with the space of sprays in the cylinder, to blend an ignition improver in the fuel, to inject a small amount of auxiliary fuel prior to main injection and so on. Recently, the improvement of fuel economy and the reduction of exhaust smoke and NO have been successfully achieved by supplying diesel engines with emulsified fuel. However, it is very difficult to know real combustion mechanism under such special conditions, because of many factors affecting on the combustion process in practical reciprocating engine. In the present paper, the combustion processes of diesel fuel and emulsion fuel were tried to improve and to observe by making contact with various lean pre-mixtures in the hot air stream duct. This hot air stream method has an advantage that the spontaneous combustion process can be observed under a simplified condition.

This paper is a study on the optimal microdroplet generation conditions in indirect charging electrostatic spraying. Unlike the direct charging method, which applies power to the nozzle, the indirect charging method applies power to the discharge electrode between the nozzle and the collection electrode. Therefore, an electrically simplified system can be obtained by minimizing the insulation part a stable spray pattern can be obtained with a wide spray angle, and a stable spray pattern can be obtained with a wide spray angle. To conduct the study, an indirect charging type electrostatic spray visualization system was constructed and the static characteristics of the microdroplets were analyzed through image processing of the spray shape of the microdroplets. The total number of microdroplets and the number of microdroplets per power consumption are confirmed according to the changes in the distance between the discharge electrode and the collection electrode, the flow rate, and the applied voltage, which affect the generation of microdroplets, and using this, the optimal generation conditions are derived and the corresponding microdroplet size distribution was analyzed. As a result of the experiment, it was confirmed that the optimal generation condition was at a flow rate of 15 to 20 mL/min and a voltage of -22.5 to -25 kV in terms of the number of microdroplets, and at a flow rate of 15 to 20 mL/min and a voltage of -20 kV in terms of energy consumption efficiency.

Blast furnace slag, a by-product of the steel industry, is mostly recycled as concrete admixture, but electric arc furnace slag has not been recycled to date. In particular, since electric arc furnace slag partially contains free lime (free-CaO) in the discharge, it is necessary to review this in order to recycle f or construction materials. Recently an atomizing process which is a method of rapidly cooling electric arc furnace slag has been developed and applied. Therefore, in order to use the fine aggregate of oxidized slag from electric furnace restored by this method as an aggregate for concrete, physical damage and chemical reviewing are required. In this study, a physical and chemical review was conducted on the fine aggregate of Electric Arc Furnace Oxidizing Slag (EFOS) as a by-product of the steel manufacturing process with atomizing process. In this experimental study, EFOS was experimentally examined about whether it can be used as concrete fine aggregate. Also, we intend to provide basic data for the future use of the EFOS fine aggregate. As a result of the experimental study, it was found that the fine aggregate of the EFOS satisfied the quality standards of the fine aggregate for concrete in most items specified by Korean Standard.

DLC (Diamind-Like Carbon) 코팅은 1970년대 이온주입기술을 통하여 개발된 것이 처음으로 알려져 있으며, 다이아몬드 구조인 SP3 구조와 그라파이트 구조인 SP2 구조가 혼재되어 있으면서 제조 방법에 따라 수소와 Si 및 다양한 금속을 내재시킬 수 있는 코팅 물질이다. DLC는 높은 경도, 내마모성, 윤활성, 표면조도 등 뛰어난 기계적 특성과 전기절연성, 화학적 안정성 그리고 높은 광학적 투과성을 가져 산업적 활용 잠재력이 높은 재료로 평가되고 있으며, 이외에도 낮은 공정 온도에서 증착할 수 있고, 고경도와 낮은 마찰계수를 가지고 있는 장점이 있다. 그러나, DLC가 열적으로 불안정하기 때문에 사용되는 환경이 $500^{\circ}C$ 이상이 되면 DLC는 자체의 성질을 잃고 거의 흑연에 가까운 물질이 되어버리는 문제가 있고, 또한 높은 압축응력과 기재와의 낮은 밀착력이 단점으로 나타나고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 그런 단점을 보완하고자 PECVD (Plasmas Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition) 방법으로 DLC박막에 여러 가지 첨가원소(F,Si,0)를 사용하여 증착시킨 후 400, 500, $600^{\circ}C$에서 1시간동안 열처리를 진행하였으며, 그에 따른 내열 특성을 평가하였다. 또한 염수분무 테스트를 통한 박막의 내식 특성을 평가하였다. DLC박막의 구조는 Raman Spectra을 통해, Sp3 (like diamond) peak와 Sp2 (like graphite) peak 의 혼재 여부를 분석하였고, FE-SEM을 이용하여 막의 표면 및 단면을 관찰하였다. 스크래치 테스트를 통해 DLC박막의 밀착력을 측정하였으며, 볼 온 디스크 타입의 Tribo-meter을 이용하여 마찰계수 변화를 관찰하였다. 또한 나노인덴터를 이용하여 미소경도를 측정하였다. 그 결과 일반 DLC 막에 비해 첨가원소가 함유된 DLC 박막에서 내식성 및 내열특성이 향상되었다.

Fe based ($Fe_{68.2}C_{5.9}Si_{3.5}B_{6.7}P_{9.6}Cr_{2.1}Mo_{2.0}Al_{2.0}$) amorphous powder were produced by a gas atomization process, and then ductile Cu powder fabricated by the electric explosion of wire(EEW) were mixed in the liquid (methanol) consecutively. The Fe-based amorphous - nanometallic Cu composite powders were compacted by a spark plasma sintering (SPS) processes. The nano-sized Cu powders of ${\sim}\;nm$200 produced by EEW in the methanol were mixed and well coated with the atomized Fe amorphous powders through the simple drying process on the hot plate. The relative density of the compacts obtained by the SPS showed over 98% and its hardness was also found to reach over 1100 Hv.

고분자 전해질 연료전지는 다른 연료전지에 비해 작동온도가 낮고 전류밀도 및 출력밀도가 높으며 시동시간이 짧아서 다양한 분야에 응용이 가능할 것으로 기대된다. 그 중 양극판은 가격비와 중량비가 높아 부품 가격 및 중량을 낮출 경우 파급 효과가 높은 것으로 예상된다. 본 연구에서는 일반적으로 사용하고 있는 스테인리스강보다 가격이 저렴한 저탄소강을 모재로 이용하였다. 저탄소강은 자체로 내식성을 가지지 못하므로, 최근에 차세대 신소재로 각광을 받고 있는 그라핀(graphene)을 전기분무(electro spray coating)법으로 코팅하여 저탄소강의 내식성을 향상시키고자 하였다. 그라핀은 에탄올을 용매로 사용하여 분산하였으며, 분산제로 소량의 다이페닐다이에톡시실란(diphenyldiethoxysilane)을 첨가하여 코팅용액을 제작하였다. 코팅공정은 5~15 kV의 전압을 가하여 1시간동안 코팅을 진행하였으며, 그라핀-저탄소강의 미세구조를 주사전자현미경과 광학현미경을 통하여 관찰하였다. 또한 X-선 회절분석법을 이용하여 그라핀의 결정구조를 분석하였다. 한편 스택의 내부와 유사한 산화성 분위기를 모사하기 위해 $80^{\circ}C$의 0.1N $H_2SO_4$+2ppm $F^-$ 용액에서 내식성 실험을 수행하였고 면간접촉저항을 측정하였다. 그라핀이 코팅된 저탄소강 시편은 고분자 전해질 연료전지 양극판의 요구조건을 만족하였으며, 연료전지 양극판으로서의 사용가능성을 확인하였다.

The influence of deposition parameter on the electrical, optical andsurface morphology of $SnO_2(:F)$ films prepared by ultrasonic spray deposition using DBDA and $SnCl_4.5H_2O$ as a source material was studied. Resistivity was decreased sharply with increasing F/Sn ratio in solution up to 0.6. Depending on the source material, $SnCl_4.5H_2O$ shows lower resistivity than DBDA. When F/Sn ratio in solution was 1, optical transmittance was higher DBDA than $SnCl_4.5H_2O$.

Transparent conductive aluminum-doped ZnO(AZO) films Were prepared by a ultrasonic spray pyrolysis method at the substrate temperature below 23$0^{\circ}C$. A vertical type hot wall furnace was used as a reactor in the deposition system. Zinc acetate dissolved in methanol was selected as a precursor. The substrate temperature was varied from 18$0^{\circ}C$to 24$0^{\circ}C$. Aluminum (Al) was doped into ZnO films by incorporating anhydrous aluminum chloride (AlCl$_3$) in the zinc acetate solution. The proportion of the Al in the starting solution was varied from 0 wt % to 3.0 wt %. The crystallographic properties and surface morphologies of the films were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. The resistivity of the films was measured by the Van der Pauw method, and the mobility and carrier concentration were obtained through the Hall effect measurements Transmittance was measured in the visible region. The effects of substrate temperature and aluminum content in the starling solution on the structural and electrical properties of the AZO films are discussed

The wet electrostatic precipitator (wet ESP) is an effective control device which removes submicron particles reentrained in a collection plate and water soluble gas. However, its collection efficiency decreases, as its operation is subject to water-induced distortion of the collection electrode. In order to make up for the limitation, we modified the wet ESP system by installing electrosprayed discharge electrodes. The modified wet ESP system can wash both the collection plate and discharge electrode. As a result, we were able to fabricate a compact wet ESP with a small specific collecting area ($0.18m^2(m^3/min)$) that can accomplish a high collection efficiency of fine particles (97.1%). In addition, the device obtained a relatively low specific corona power of approximately $10W/(m^3/min)$.

Fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) thin film was coated on aluminosilicate glass at $450^{\circ}C$ by spray pyrolysis method. In the range of 0-2.7 molar ratio of F/Sn, the variations of electrical conductivity and visible light transmission were investigated. At the F/Sn ratio of 1.765, the film showed the lowest electrical resistivity value of $3.0{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}\;cm$, the highest carrier concentration of $2.404{\times}10^{21}/cm^3$, and about $8\;cm^2/V{\cdot}sec$ of electronic mobility. The FTO film showed a preferred orientation of (200) plane parallel to the substrate. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis results indicated that the contents of $Sn^{4+}-O$ bonding are the highest at 1.765 of F/Sn molar ratio.
