Objectives: This study evaluated the effects of the resin thickness on the microhardness and optical properties of bulk-fill resin composites. Materials and Methods: Four bulk-fill (Venus Bulk Fill, Heraeus Kulzer; SDR, Dentsply Caulk; Tetric N-Ceram Bulk Fill, Ivoclar vivadent; SonicFill, Kerr) and two regular resin composites (Charisma flow, Heraeus Kulzer; Tetric N-Ceram, Ivoclar vivadent) were used. Sixty acrylic cylindrical molds were prepared for each thickness (2, 3 and 4 mm). The molds were divided into six groups for resin composites. The microhardness was measured on the top and bottom surfaces, and the colors were measured using Commission Internationale d'Eclairage (CIE) $L^*a^*b^*$ system. Color differences according to the thickness and translucency parameters and the correlations between the microhardness and translucency parameter were analyzed. The microhardness and color differences were analyzed by ANOVA and Scheffe's post hoc test, and a student t-test, respectively. The level of significance was set to ${\alpha}=0.05$. Results: The microhardness decreased with increasing resin thickness. The bulk-fill resin composites showed a bottom/top hardness ratio of almost 80% or more in 4 mm thick specimens. The highest translucency parameter was observed in Venus Bulk Fill. All resin composites used in this study except for Venus Bulk Fill showed linear correlations between the microhardness and translucency parameter according to the thickness. Conclusions: Within the limitations of this study, the bulk-fill resin composites used in this study can be placed and cured properly in the 4 mm bulk.

공기분리 PSA 공정설계에 적용할 물질전달계수를 구하기 위하여 흡착탑을 통과하는 질소와 산소의 농도에 대한 동적파과곡선을 실험적으로 측정하였다. 그 결과를 전산모사에 의한 파과곡선과 비교하여 벌크흐름 중의 물질전달속도를 예측하였다. 전산모사에서 흡착은 coupled Langmuir isotherm을 따른다고 보았으며, 물질전달은 LDF 모델에 의해 표현된다고 가정하였다. 실험과 이론의 비교를 통해 얻은 물질전달계수는 유속에는 거의 영향을 받지 않았으나 압력 조건에 따라 민감한 변화를 보였다. 이를 통해 물질전달저항이 거대기공 확산영역에 있음을 예측할 수 있었으며, 물질전달계수를 압력변화에 대해 지수함수의 형태로 표현하였다. 질소나 산소 단일 성분에 대해서 얻은 물질전달계수는 질소와 산소 혼합 벌크기체의 파과곡선에 적용했을 경우에도 5% 이하의 오차로 잘 일치함을 보여주었다.

Kinetic friction coefficient, bulk density, dynamic and static angle of repose, and terminal velocity of rice husk at the moisture range 7 to $23\%$ w.b. were determined. It could lead to better design and operation of the processing machinery and handling facilities. Friction coefficient was determined from the horizontal traction force measured by pulling the container holding a mass of rice husk on various plate materials. Dynamic angle of repose was calculated from the photos of bulk samples piled by gravity flow on a circular platform. Static angle of repose was determined by measuring the side angle of the bulk material which was left in a cylindrical container after natural discharge of the bulk sample through a circular hole in the bottom plate. Kinetic friction coefficients of rice husk were in the range of $0.254\~0.410,\;0.205\~0.520,\;0.229\~0.400,\;and 0.133\~0.420$ on PVC, mild steel, galvanized steel, and stainless steel, respectively. Bulk density, dynamic and static angle of repose, and terminal velocity were in the range of $91.7\~98.3$ $kg/m^3$, $40.2\~47.6^{\circ},\;52.8\~83.7^{\circ},$ and $1.36\~1.73$ m/s, respectively. These physical properties of rice husk increased linearly as the moisture content increased.

In this study, an Al₈₂Ni₇Co₃Y₈ (at%) bulk metallic glass is fabricated using gas-atomized Al₈₂Ni₇Co₃Y₈ metallic glass powder and subsequent spark plasma sintering (SPS). The effect of powder size on the consolidation of bulk metallic glass is considered by dividing it into 5 ㎛ or less and 20-45 ㎛. The sintered Al₈₂Ni₇Co₃Y₈ bulk metallic glasses exhibit crystallization behavior and crystallization enthalpy similar to those of the Al₈₂Ni₇Co₃Y₈ powder with 5 ㎛ or less and it is confirmed that no crystallization occurred during the sintering process. From these results, we conclude that the Z-position-controlled spark plasma sintering process, using superplastic deformation by viscous flow in the supercooled liquid-phase region of amorphous powder, is an effective process for manufacturing bulk metallic glass.

For the Reactor Coolant System(RCS) flow rate measurement by the secondary calorimetric heat balance method, the coolant temperature of the hot leg is needed. Several Resistance Temperature Detectors(RTD) are installed in the hot leg to measure the temperature, but the average value of RTDs does not correctly represent the energy-averaged(bulk) temperature because of the thermal stratification phenomenon. Therefore some correction is introduced to predict the bulk temperature, but the correction inevitably contains uncertainty because the stratification is not defined well quantitatively yet. Therefore a large uncertainty for the correction has been used for the conservative estimation. But unrealistically large uncertainty causes degradation of the measurement method and yields difficulty to meet the acceptance criterion in start-up flow measurement test. In this paper, an analytical estimation is made on the correction and the related uncertainty using the measured hot leg velocity profile of System 80 reactor flow model test and the measured temperatures of YGN 3&4 and PVNGS 1&2 start-up tests. The results reveal that the magnitude of the correction uncertainty is much smaller than that used in the previous design. Therefore, the confidence on the flow rate measurement method can be improved and the difficulty in start-up flow measurement test can be lessened if the smaller correction uncertainty obtained through this estimation is applied.

복합 레진은 소아치과 영역에서 대중적으로 사용되는 재료가 되었다. 하지만 복합 레진은 중합 수축을 최소화하기 위하여 적층 충전을 해야 하기 때문에 긴 시술 시간이 필요하다. 이러한 문제를 극복하기 위하여 임상가들은 bulk-filling 재료에 관심을 돌리기 시작하였고, 최근 bulk-base 복합 레진이 새로 출시되었다. 본 연구는 bulk-base 복합 레진의 깊이별 미세경도 측정값을 비교, 평가하였다. 실험군으로 1종의 저점도 bulk-base 복합 레진과 1종의 고점도 bulk-base 복합 레진을 사용하였고 대조군으로 1종의 전통적 복합 레진을 사용하였다. 각 깊이별 재료들의 미세경도에 대한 결과로 대조군의 경우는 중합 깊이가 깊어질수록 미세경도의 유의한 차이를 보였다(p < 0.05). 이에 반해 실험군 인 HFB는 0 mm와 4 mm에서, 그리고 MFB는 0 mm와 2 mm, 0 mm와 3 mm에서 각각 유의한 차이를 보였으나 높이에 따른 유의한 감소 경향을 보이지는 않았다. 각각의 깊이에서 시편들의 미세경도를 비교하였을 때 표면과 2 mm에서는 대조군이 실험군보다 큰 미세경도를 보였다(p < 0.05). 3 mm에서는 저점도 실험군이 대조군보다 미세경도가 크게 나왔으나 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 아니었다. 하지만 4 mm에서는 모든 실험군이 대조군보다 통계적으로 유의하게 큰 미세경도 값을 보였다(p < 0.05). 이번 실험을 통하여 bulk-base 복합 레진이 4 mm에서 기존의 복합 레진보다 더 높은 미세경도를 보였고 표면과 2 mm에서는 더 낮은 미세경도를 보이는 것을 관찰하였다. 그러므로 bulk-base 레진의 기계적 성질의 향상을 통해 표면의 낮은 미세경도 특성이 극복된다면 소아 환자의 수복 치료 시 적용이 고려되어 질 만 할 것이다.

Many studies of heat transfer on the swirling flow or unswirled flow in a abrupt pipe expansion are widely carried out. The mechanism is not fully found evidently due to the instabilities of flow in a sudden change of the shape and appearance of turbulent shear layers in a recirculation region and secondary vortex near the corner. The purpose of this study is to obtain data through an experimental study of the swirling flow and heat transfer downstream of an abrupt expansion in a circular pipe with uniform heat flux. Experiments were carried out for the turbulent flow nd heat transfer downstream of an abrupt circular pipe expansion. The uniform heat flux condition was imposed to the downstream of the abrupt expansion by using an electrically heated pipe. Experimental data are presented for local heat transfer rates and local axial velocities in the tube downstream of an abrupt 3:1 & 2:1 expansion. Air was used as the working fluid in the upstream tube, the Reynolds number was varied from 60, 00 to 120, 000 and the swirl number range (based on the swirl chamber geometry, i.e. L/d ratio) in which the experiments were conducted were L/d=0, 8 and 16. Axial velocity increased rapidly at r/R=0.35 in the abrupt concentric expansion turbulent flow through the test tube in unswirled flow. It showed that with increasing axial distance the highest axial velocities move toward the tube wall in the case of the swirling flow abrupt expansion. A uniform wall heat flux boundary condition was employed, which resulted in wall-to-bulk temperatures ranging from 24.deg. C to 71.deg. C. In swirling flow, the wall temperature showed a greater increase at L/d=16 than any other L/d. The bulk temperature showed a minimum value at the pipe inlet, it also exhibited a linear increase with axial distance along the pipe. As swirl intensity increased, the location of peak Nu numbers was observed to shift from 4 to 1 step heights downstream of the expansion. This upstream movement of the maximum Nusselt number was accompanied by an increase in its magnitude from 2.2 to 8.8 times larger than fully developed tube flow values.

In this work, desalination experiments were performed on vacuum membrane distillation (VMD). Process parameters such as feed flow rate, vacuum degree on permeate side, feed bulk temperature and feed salt concentration were optimized using sensitivity analysis and Taguchi method. The optimum values of process parameters were found to be 2 lpm of feed flow rate, $60^{\circ}C$ of feed bulk temperature, 5.5 kPa of permeate-side pressure and 5000 ppm of salt concentration. The permeate flux at these conditions was obtained as $26.6kg/m^2{\cdot}hr$. The rejection of salt in permeate was found to be 99.7%. The percent contribution of various process parameters using ANOVA results indicated that the most important parameter is feed bulk temperature with its contribution of 95%. The ANOVA results indicate that the percent contribution of permeate pressure gets increased to 5.384% in the range of 2 to 7 kPa as compared to 0.045% in the range of 5.5 to 7 kPa.
