The boundary layer is a very important characteristic of a liquid-vapor interface since it governs the heat and mass transfer phenomena across an interface. However, the thickness of a boundary layer is generally micro- or nano-sized, which requires highly accurate measurement devices and, consequently, costs the related experiments very high and time-consuming. Due to these size dependent limitations, the experiments related with a nano-scaled size have suffered from the errors and the reliability of the obtained data. This study is performed to grasp the characteristics of a liquid-vapor interface, by using a molecular dynamics method. The simulation results were compared with other studies if possible. Although other studies reported that there existed a temperature discontinuity over an interface when the system was reduced to micro- or nano-sized, we confirmed that there was no such a temperature discontinuity.

Microsystems combine several microcomponents, optimized an entire system, to provide several specific technical functions by the shape of the microstructure. Microfabrication and micromachining techniques have played the key role in the fast development and commercialization of microsystems. Microreaction technology based on microsystems is a powerful tool for the evaluating new process and reaction pathways in chemical engineering. Because of the small characteristic dimensions of microreaction devices, mass and heat transfer processes are enhanced and, in addition, reaction conditions can be precisely controlled for optimizing yield and selectivity. The paper will report on the mixer design principle and explore several application fields of microreaction technology in the chemical synthesis

The purpose of the research is to develop the high performance solar chemical reactor for producing hydrogen using steam reforming reaction of methane. A specific shape chemical reactor is suggested : spiral type reactor. The reactor is installed on the dish-type solar thermal system of Inha University. The temperatures, $CH_4$ conversion rates, and Hz proportion are measured. At specific condition, $CH_4$ conversion rates of the spiral type reactor are about 91%, and Hz proportion are about 66%. The spiral type reactor gives reasonably good performance without any problems caused by highly concentrated solar radiation.

The main objective of this paper is to investigate characteristic of steam reformer at various geometries and operating conditions. In this paper, the steam reforming is studied by a numerical method and three dimensional simulations were used for effective analytical study. User - Defined Function (UDF) was used to simultaneously calculate reforming and combustion reaction. And the numerical model is validated with experimental results at the same operating conditions. In order to understand the relationship between operating conditions such as gas hourly space velocity(GHSV), mass flow rate of combustor inlet, various numerical investigations are carries out for various geometries. Numerical results show that cylindrical geometry is more effective than rectangular geometry for heat transfer to reactors and reforming efficiency. As mass flow rate of combustor inlet increase, reaction occurs more faster and temperature increase with each geometry. On the other hand, reaction and hydrogen conversion decrease as mass flow rate of reactor decreases.

SCR(Selective Catalytic Reduction) is a major after-treatment solution to reduce NOx emission in recent diesel engines. In this study, a metal foam is applied as an alternative SCR substrate and tested in a commercial diesel engine to compared with a conventional ceramic SCR system. Basic engine test from ND-13 mode shows that a metal foam catalyst has lower NOx conversion efficiency than a ceramic catalyst especially over $350^{\circ}C$. A metal foam catalyst has characteristics of high exhaust gas pressure before a SCR catalyst and high heat transfer rate due to its material and structure. NOx conversion efficiency of a metal foam catalyst shows an increasing tendency along with the increase of exhaust gas temperature by $500^{\circ}C$. The effect of urea injection quantity variation is also remarkable only at high exhaust gas temperature.

The development of numerical mathematical model to calculate both the static and dynamic characteristics of a multi-shaft gas turbine consisting of a single combustion chamber, including advanced cycle components such as intercooler and regenerator is presented in this paper. The numerical mathematical model is based on the simplified assumptions that quasi-static characteristic of turbo-machine and injector is used, total pressure loss and heat transfer relation for static calculation neglecting fuel transport time delay can be employed. The supercharger power has a cubical relation to its rotating velocity. The accuracy of each calculation is confirmed by monitoring mass and energy balances with comparative calculations for different time steps of integration. The features of the studied gas turbine scheme are the starting device with compressed air volumes and injector's supercharging the air directly ahead of the combustion chamber.

For the better understanding of the stability of turbulent combustion, more researches on extinction and re-ignition are needed. Flame interactions in non-premixed flame have also not been greatly researched. We made a hybrid twin jet flame, the combinations of diffusion flame and partially-premixed diffusion flame, in a twin jet counterflow configuration. The extinction limits of a crossed twin jet counterflow have been extended in comparison with those of a one-dimensional counterflow because of flame interactions through heat transfer and joint ownership of various radicals. Besides, we have obtain ignition $Damk\"{o}hler$ number by experimental method without external ignition source using the extinction characteristic in a crossed twin jet counterflow flame. From results, we can identify the hysteresis between extinction and ignition $Damk\"{o}hler$ number in S-curve.

Laser cladding Processing allows rapid transfer of heat to the material being minimum conduction into base metal. The effects of CO$_2$ laser cladding with high powder were investigated. High viscosity bronze powder consists of bronze powder used at a high temperature. The material has a high viscosity So that it can be substrate. Therefore. Laser cladding can be processed on a curved or slope surface. CO$_2$ laser cladding was designed It consists of the high viscosity bronze powder the shielding gas system and the preheating system The high viscosity powder properly at 0.3g/s and 0.50g/s. Because of the metallic bond between bronze per the hardness of dilution layer was suddenly increased. Experimental as results viscosity mixed powder can be a useful cladding material.

An automotive IC voltage regulator which consists of one-chip based on a metal-oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) is investigated experimentally with three types of packaging. The closed type is filled with thermal silicone gel and covered with a plastic lid on the MOSFET. The half-closed type is covered with a plastic case but without thermal silicone gel on the MOSFET. Opened type is no lid without thermal silicone gel. In order to simulate the high temperature condition in engine bay, the operating circuit of the MOSFET is constructed and the surrounding temperature is maintained at $100^{\circ}C$. In the overshoot the maximum was mainly found at the half-closed packaging and the magnitude is dependent on the packaging type and the surrounding temperature. Also the impressed current decreased exponentially during the MOSFET operation.
