The voltage profile during discharge of the zinc air battery has very flat pattern until reach to end of discharge voltage. But, when zinc air battery is discharged by high current, the discharge voltage and energy becomes low. Therefore, we focused on effects of catalyst size to solve this problems by increasing active sites of oxygen reduction reaction. The size of catalyst was reduced from 27 to l${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and we examined average discharge voltage, capacity, energy, resistance and characteristics during GSM pulse discharge of zinc air battery with change of current density. And we also measured porosity of the cathode according to the ASTM. So we have got improvement of average discharge voltage and energy when catalyst was minimized and we have got optimum size of catalyst at 5${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$.

The objective of this research was to investigate the enhancement of heat transfer by mesh in water/air direct contact air conditioning system. Mesh is inserted as a turbulent promoter in front of the water injection nozzle. The heat transfer characteristics with and without mesh and the effect of the number of inserted mesh and mesh porosity size have been studied experimentally. Inserted mesh improves heat transfer efficiency compared to non~inserted mesh system and heat transfer efficiency increased as the number of mesh is increased. Meanwhile, heat transfer efficiency decreased as the porosity of the mesh is increased. With inserted mesh, inlet and outlet temperature difference of air increased more than 50%. Heat exchange time of water/air to reach the 100% humidity decreased less than 30%. This result shows inserted mesh can enhance the performance of the water/air direct contact air conditioning system.

콘크리트의 공극률은 유해인자의 주된 이동통로가 될 뿐 아니라, 수분을 보유할 수 있는 역할을 하게 되므로, 열화물질 이동 저항성을 평가할 수 있는 주된 지표가 되고 있다. 내구성에 대한 연구가 중요해짐에 따라, 공극구조를 기본으로 하는 열화모델이 최근 들어 개발되고 있으며, 공극구조와 내구특성간의 관계는 매우 중요하게 평가되고 있다. 본 연구는 5가지의 다른 물-시멘트비(40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%)를 가진 시멘트 모르타르를 제조하여, 공극률을 포함한 다양한 내구성 실험을 수행하였다. 내구특성 실험은 기본적인 압축강도 실험을 포함하여, 투기성 실험, 염화물 확산계수 실험, 흡수율 및 수분 확산계수 실험 등이 수행되었다. 평가된 내구성 실험결과는 물-시멘트비와 공극률에 따라 분석되었다. 공극률이 1.45 배 높아질수록, 강도는 0.6배 수준으로 감소하였으며, 투기성, 염화물 확산계수, 흡수율, 수분확산계수는 각각 2.3배, 2.1배, 5.5배, 그리고 3.7배 수준으로 증가하였다. 이러한 내구특성 변화율은 높은 상관성을 보이며, 공극률에 따라 선형적으로 변화함을 알 수 있었다. 한편, 실험결과와 문헌분석을 통하여, 목표내구성능을 설정하였으며, 이에 따라서 고내구성 콘크리트를 위한 공극를을 제안하였다.

The wearing comfort of garment is governed by two kinds of characteristics such as moisture and thermal transport properties and mechanical properties of fabrics. The porosity influenced by yarn and fabric structural parameters is known as main factor for wearing comfort of garment related to the moisture and thermal transport properties. This study investigated effect of porosity of composite yarns to the moisture and thermal comfort properties of composite fabrics made of hollow composite DTY and ATY yarns. The theoretical porosity and pore size were inversely proportional to cover factor of fabric, but cover factor was not correlated with experimental pore size. The wicking property of hydrophobic PET filament fabric showed inferior result irrespective of porosity, pore size and cover factor. The drying rate was superior at composite fabrics with high pore size and low cover factor, and pore size was dominant factor for drying property. On the other hand, thermal conductivity of composite fabric was mainly influenced by cover factor and not influenced by porosity. Air permeability was influenced by both porosity and cover factor and was highly increased with increasing porosity and decreasing fabric cover factor.

본 연구는 충남 금산군에 위치한 산화적지에서 산화후 개벌지역과 비개벌지역을 대상으로 산림식생의 존재여부가 산림토양의 이화학적 성질 변화로 인한 수저유능력에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위해 가비중, 공극율(조공극 및 세공극), 투수성, 통기성 및 유기물 함량을 비교 분석하였다. 주요 측정인자들에 의해 얻어진 결과는 다음과 같다. 산화지역의 비개벌지 및 개벌지에서 토양 통기성과 투수성을 측정한 결과 비개벌지가 개벌지 보다 양호하였으며, 특히 산정보다는 산록부근에서 가장 큰 차이를 보였다. 또한 산화 뒤 2년이 경과된 후 가장 큰 변화가 나타난 부분은 표토 5∼15cm층이었다. 토양공극 분포는 비개벌지가 개벌지 보다 전공극, 조공극, 세공극이 높게 나타났으며, 토심이 증가함에 따라 전공극량과 조공극량은 감소하였다. 토양가비중은 비개벌지가 개벌지 보다 낮게 나타났으며, 토심이 증가할수록 높게 나타났다. 또한 산록>산복>산정 순으로 통기성, 투수성, 전공극 등이 동일하게 나타났다. 유기물함량은 비개벌지가 개벌지 보다 높았으며 토심이 증가할수록 감소하였다. 토심의 증가에 따라 토양가비중은 정의 상관관계를 나타냈고, 전공극량, 조공극, 통기성, 투수성 및 유기물함량은 부의 상관관계를 나타내었다. 산화적지에서 개벌에 따른 산림환경 변화는 토양의 물리성 및 화학성을 악화시키는 것으로 나타났다.

Woven wire wick is a very effective structure because of its easiness to insert inside of pipe for a miniature heat pipe. The present study was conducted to predict the porosity and the effective thermal conductivity of liquid-saturated woven wire wick. The porosity and the effective thermal conductivity of the evaporator region indicate different values from those of the condenser region due to the existence of non-flow region. The minimum value of the effective thermal conductivity indicates on condition of the $\theta$=$45^{Wcirc}$ and the values of the effective thermal conductivity increases symmetrically centering around the minimum value. The values of the effective thermal conductivity in the evaporator region at the angle of $45^{Wcirc}$ indicate about 60~80% higher than those in the condenser region for various combinations of copper, and stainless with water and ethanol.

Stirling engine is an external combustion engine, whose efficiency approaches that of Carnot engine with the help of a regenerator. The regenerator is a heat exchanger composed of porous medium, whose performance is dependent on the pore structure. Three types of pore structures are considered in the present study. They are wire screen, random wire and composite structure, i.e. a combination of wire screens with different hydraulic diameters. The porosity more highly affects the performance of a regenerator compared to the hydraulic diameter. The random wire can yield high effectiveness even at a high porosity. The composite mesh gives better performance when the hydraulic diameter decreases in the direction from hot side to cold side.

Porous media containing complex fluid passage have especially large surface area per unit volume. This study is aimed to identify the heat transfer characteristics of high-porosity metal foams in a horizontal channel. Experiment is performed under various heat flux, velocity and pore density. Nusselt number decreases with higher pore density. Metal foams shows higher heat transfer coefficients than pin-fin structure with the same porosity. This is due to the more complex flow passage and larger heat transfer area based on the structure of the metal foams. The analysis on the pin-fin structure may not be suitable to the metal foam structure but should be identified extensively through further study.

The structure of pore network of gas diffusion layers (GDLs) in PEMFCs plays a critical role in determining the transport phenomena of reaction gas as well as generated water. In addition, the interactive characteristics between water and surface of pore are no less important than the structural characteristics of pore network. In this study, porometric investigation is conducted for two kinds of GDL using method of standard porosimetry which enable to distinguish hydrophobic pores from hydrophilic pores of GDLs. The porosity of TGPH-120 decreases by 6% by adding 30 wt.% of PTFE, but the porosity of hydrophilic pores decreases by 12%. The relation of $p_c-S_{nw}$ varies with the addition of PTFE, especially at low $p_c$.
