Vacuum kinetic spray(VKS) is a relatively advanced process for fabricating thin/thick and dense ceramic coatings via submicron-sized particle impact at room temperature. However, unfortunately, the particle velocity, which is an important value for investigating the deposition mechanism, has not been clarified yet. Thus, in this research, VKS average particle velocities were derived by numerical analysis method(CFD: computational fluid dynamics) connected with an experimental approach(SCM: slit cell method). When the process gas or powder particles are accelerated by a compressive force generated by gas pressure in kinetic spraying, a tensile force generated by the vacuum in the VKS system accelerates the process gas. As a result, the gas is able to reach supersonic speed even though only 0.6MPa gas pressure is used in VKS. In addition, small size powders can be accelerated up to supersonic velocity by means of the drag-force of the low pressure process gas flow. Furthermore, in this process, the increase of gas flow makes the drag-force stronger and gas distribution more homogenized in the pipe, by which the total particle average velocity becomes higher and the difference between max. and min. particle velocity decreases. Consequently, the control of particle size and gas flow rate are important factors in making the velocity of particles high enough for successful deposition in the VKS system.

Main focus of the combined nuclear research activities at Aachen University (RWTH) and the Research Center J$\ddot{u}$lich (J$\ddot{U}$LICH) is the experimental and analytical investigation of containment phenomena and processes. We are deeply convinced that reliable simulations for operation, design basis and beyond-design basis accidents of nuclear power plants need the application of so-called lumped-parameter (LP) based codes as well as computational fluid dynamics (CFD) codes in an indispensable manner. The LP code being used at our institutions is the GRS code COCOSYS and the CFD tool is ANSYS CFX mostly used in German nuclear research. Both codes are applied for safety analyses especially of beyond design accidents. Focal point of the work is containment thermal-hydraulics, but source term relevant investigations for aerosol and iodine behavior are performed as well. To increase the capability of COCOSYS and CFX detailed models for specific features, e.g. recombiner behavior including chimney effect, building condenser, and wall condensation are developed and validated against facilities at different scales. The close connection between analytical and experimental activities is notable and identifying feature of the RWTH/J$\ddot{U}$LICH activities.

Chemical properties of aerosols were investigated by analyzing the inorganic water-soluble content in $PM_{2.5}$ collected in the downtown area of Jeju City in Jeju Island. Due to an increase in both the number of visiting tourists and the size of local population, the number of cars in this area is increasing, causing an increase in $PM_{2.5}$. Eight $PM_{2.5}$-bound major inorganic ions were analyzed during the summer and winter periods. The water-soluble inorganic component represents a significant fraction of $PM_{2.5}$. In particular, secondary inorganic aerosols contribute 36.2% and 47.5% of $PM_{2.5}$ mass in summer and winter, respectively. Nitrate concentrations increase for $[NH_4{^+}]/[SO_4{^{2-}}]$>1.5, and excess ammonium, which is necessary for ammonium nitrate formation, is linearly correlated with nitrate. These results are clearly observed during the winter because conditions are more conducive to the formation of ammonium nitrate. A significant negative correlation between Nitrogen Oxidation Ratio (NOR) and temperature was observed. The obtained results can be useful for a better understanding of the aerosol dynamics in the downtown area in Jeju City.

The inspiratory flow rate of a human is changed with the amount of the workload. The flow characteristic is affected by the inspiratory flow rate. In the flow field of airway, the both of turbulence intensity and secondary flow affect the deposition pattern of particles which is important for the drug-aerosol targeting. Thus the analysis of the flow characteristic in a human airway is important. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of the inspiratory flow rate on the flow characteristics in a human airway. The tubular airway is consistent with the oral cavity, pharynx, larynx and trachea. The relatively inspiratory flow rate is used at each case of human states regarding the workload. By the effect of geometric airway changes, transition to turbulent airflow after the larynx can occur with relaminarization further downstream. The low Reynolds number k-${\omega}$ turbulence model is used for analysis with flow regime. As the inspiratory flow rate is larger, the turbulence kinetic energy and secondary flow intensity increase in airway. On the other hand, the area of recirculation zone is smaller.

A numerical analysis on condensation and coagulation of the metallic species with fly ash particles pre-existing in an incinerator was performed. Waste was simplified as a mixture of methane, chlorine, and small amounts of Pb and Sn. Vapor-phase amounts of Pb- and Sn -compounds were first calculated assuming a thermodynamic equilibrium state. Then theories on vapor-to-particle conversion, vapor condensation onto the fly ash particles, and particle-particle interaction were examined and incorporated into equations of aerosol dynamics and vapor continuity. It was assumed that the particles followed a log-normal size distribution and thus a moment model was developed in order to predict the particle concentration and the particle size distribution simultaneously. Distributions of metallic vapor concentration (or vapor pressure) were also obtained. Temperature drop rate of combustion gas, fly ash concentration and its size were selected as parameters influencing the discharged amount of metallic species. In general, the coagulation between the newly formed metal particles and the fly ash particles was much greater than that between the metal particles themselves or between the fly ash particles themselves. It was also found that the amount of metallic species discharged into the atmosphere was increased due to coagulation. While most of PbO vapors produced from the combustion were eliminated due to combined effect of condensation and coagulation, the highly volatile species, PbCl$_{2}$ and SnCl$_{4}$ vapors tended to discharge into the atmosphere without experiencing either the condensation or the coagulation. For Sn vapors the tendency was between that of PbO vapors and that of PbCl$_{2}$ or SnCl$_{4}$. To restrain the discharged amount of hazardous metallic species, the coagulation should be restrained, the number concentration and the size of pre-existing fly ash particles should be increased, and the temperature drop rate of combustion gas should be kept low.

나노입자 제조 기술이 점차 발전하면서 금속산화물, 반도체용 및 태양전지용, 신소재 등 다양한 응용분야에 사용하고 있다. 따라서 이와 같은 나노입자 제조방법으로는 펄스 레이저 용사법(pulsed laser ablation), 플라즈마 아크 합성법(plasma arc synthesis), 열분해법(pyrolysis), plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD)법 등과 같은 기상공정이 많이 사용되고 있다. 기상공정은 기존의 공정에 비해 고순도 입자의 대량 생산, 다성분 입자의 화학적 균질성 유지, 비교적 간단하고 깨끗한 공정 등의 장점을 가지고 있다. 기상공정에서 일반적인 입자 형성 메커니즘은 기체 상태의 화학 물질이 물리적 공정 혹은 화학 반응에 의해 과포화상태에 도달하게 되며, 이 때 동질 핵생성(homogeneous nucleation)이 일어나고 생성된 핵(nuclei)에 기체가 응축되고 충돌, 응집하면서 입자는 성장하게 된다. 열분해법은 실리콘 나노입자를 생산하는 기상공정 중 하나이다. 일반적으로 열분해 공정은 지속적으로 열이 가해지는 반응기 내에 반응기체인 $SiH_4$을 주입하고, 운반기체는 He, $H_2$, Ar, $N_2$ 등을 사용하였을 때, 높은 열로 인해 $SiH_4$가 분해되며, 이 때 가스-입자 전환 현상(gas to particle conversion)이 일어나 실리콘 입자가 형성된다. 그러나 입자 형성과정은 $SiH_4$ 농도, 유량, 작동 압력, 온도 등 매우 다양한 요소에 영향을 받는다. 고, 복잡한 화학반응 메커니즘에 의해 명확히 규명되지는 못하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 복잡한 화학반응을 해석하는 상용코드 CHEMKIN 4.1.1을 이용하여 열분해 반응기 내에서의 실리콘 입자 형성, 성장, 응집, 전송 모델을 만들고 이를 수치해석하였다. 표면 반응, 응집, 전송에 의한 입자 성장 메커니즘을 포함하고 있는 aerosol dynamics model을 method of moment법으로 해를 구하였으며, 이를 실험 결과와 비교하여 모델링을 검증하였다. 또한 반응기의 온도, 압력, 가스 농도, 유량 등의 요소를 고려하여 실리콘 나노입자를 형성하는 최적의 조건을 연구하였다.

본 연구에서는 한반도 황사 사례 동안 WRF 기상모델과 SMOKE 배출량모델, CMAQ 및 CMAQ-MADRID 대기질 모델을 이용하여 다양한 황사 발생량 경험식에 대한 $PM_{10}$의 농도를 추정하였다. 특별히 Wang et al.(2000), US EPA 모델, Park and In(2003), GOCART 모델, DEAD 모델의 5가지 황사 발생 경험식이 중국과 몽골 등의 황사 발생량을 추정하기 위해 WRF-SMOKE-CMAQ(MADRID) 모델에 적용되었다. 일기도, 후방궤적 및 위성이미지 분석에 따르면 한반도로의 황사 수송은 절리저기압(위성에서 콤마형 구름)과 관련된 지상 전선의 뒤쪽에서, 그리고 상층 제트류의 발달에 기인한 파의 정체현상과 함께 상층 골에서의 풍속이 하층으로 전이되는 풍하 바람에 의해 생성되었다. 그리고 WRF-SMOKE-CMAQ 모델링 결과, 황사의 시 공간적 분포에 있어서는 Wang et al.(2000)의 경험식이, 평균 편의 및 평균 제곱근 오차에서의 정확도 부분에서는 GOCART 모델의 경험식이 관측값을 보다 잘 모사하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 Wang et al.의 경험식을 이용한 황사의 연직분포 분석 결과에서 강한 황사 사례(2007년 3월 31에서 4월 1일 $800\;{\mu}g/m^3$ 이상)의 경우는 황사 수송이 한반도 상공 대기 경계층 내를 통과하였기 때문으로, 약한 황사 사례(2009년 3월 16일과 17에 $400\;{\mu}g/m^3$ 이하)의 경우는 황사 수송이 경계층 위를 통과하였기 때문으로 나타났다. 또한 CMAQ 모델과 CAMQ-MADRID 모델에서의 미세먼지($PM_{10}$) 민감도 분석 결과에서는 CMAQ-MADRID 모델이 CMAQ 모델에 비해 한반도를 포함한 동아시아 지역에서 최대 $25\;{\mu}g/m^3$ 정도가 높게 모사되었고, 모델 내 구름 액상과정에 의해서는 최대 $15\;{\mu}g/m^3$ 정도가 제거되는 것으로 나타났다.
