3-Dimensionally ordered macroporous $LiMn_2O_4$ thin film was prepared by a sol-gel and dip coating method on Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si substrate. An opal structure consisting of mono dispersed polystyrene beads (300 nm) was used as a template. After solution containing Mn and Li precursors was coated on the template-deposited substrate, the template and organic materials in the precursors was removed by calcination at 400 ${^{\circ}C}$. And then the 3-dimensional $LiMn_2O_4$ thin film with spinel structure was fabricated by heat treatment at 700 ${^{\circ}C}$. The structural and electrochemical property was investigated by XRD, SEM and charge-discharge cycler.

The discharge of fly ash that is produced by coal-fired electric power plants is rapidly increasing in Korea. The utilization of fly ash in the raw materials would contribute to the elimination of an environmental problem and to the development of new high-performance materials. So it is needed to study the binder obtained by chemically activation of pozzolanic materials by means of a substitute for the exiting cement. This paper concentrated on the strength development according to the kind of chemical activators, the curing temperature, the heat curing time. Also Scanning electron microscopy and X-Ray diffraction analysis show what the reaction products of the alkali activated fly ash are.

Compared to other waste, waste tire has much discharge quantity and calorie. When we use waste heat from waste tire, it can be definitely better substitute energy than coal and anthracite in high oil price age. To use as a basic data for providing low cost and highly effective heating system, following conclusion was founded. Annual waste tire production was 19,596 million in 1999, Recycling ratio was almost 55% and more than 8.78 million was stored. Waste tire has lower than 1.5% sulfur contain ratio which is resource of an pollution, So it is a waste fuel which can be combustion based on current exhaust standard value without any extra SOx exclusion materials. Waste tire has 9,256Kcal/kg calorific value and it is higher than waste rubber, waste rubber, waste energy as same as B-C oil. When primary and second air quantity was 1.6, 8.0 Nm$^3$/min, dry gas production time was 270min and total combustion time was 360 min. In the SOx, NOx, HC of air pollution material density were lower than exhaust standard value at the back of cyclone and dusty than exhaust standard value without dust collector.

Previously, in trying to prepare perovskite type oxide powders by microwave heating, we found out a non-equilibrium argon plasma is generated around the powders and discharge continues stable at atmospheric pressure. In this study, we tried the plasma decomposition of heat-stable higher organic compound such as palmitic acid which is the principal constituent of the fimger fats. It was proved that suitable amount of coexistence of oxygen radicals into the argon flow accelerates the decomposition of palmitic acid. The argon-oxygen mixed gas plasma was able to perform a complete elimination of higher organic compound.

Olivine type $LiFePO_4$ cathode material was synthesized by solid-state reaction method including one-step heat treatment. To improve the electrochemical characteristics, graphite nanofiber (GNF) was added into $LiFePO_4$ cathode material. The structure and morphological performance of $LiFePO_4$ were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD); and a field emission-scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM). The synthesized $LiFePO_4$ has an olivine structure with no impurity, and the average particle size of $LiFePO_4$ is about 200~300 nm. With graphite nanofiber added, the discharge capacity increased from 113.43 mAh/g to 155.63 mAh/g at a current density of 0.1 $mA/cm^2$. The resistance was also significantly decreased by the added graphite nanofiber.

Poly(ethylene terephthalate), polyimide(Kapton), and polypropylene surfaces were modified with argon low temperature plasma by RF glow discharge at 240m Torr, 40W to investigate the surface morphological changes due to the plasma treatment using atomic force microscopy(AFM). Analysis of the AFM images and Ra(average roughness) revealed that the plasma treatment resulted in significant ablation on the surfaces. The morphological changes and surface roughness, however, were different depending on material characteristics such as heat stability, presence of amorphous region, swelling phenomenon, and molecular structure of repeating unit. It was assumed that polypropylene due to its tertiary hydrogen was ablated easily compared to poly(ethylene terephthalate), and that polyimide was more resistant to the ablation than PET due to rigid skeleton of imide and stable phenyl ring structure.

The ice coats are built on 25 kV overhead contact wire when the temperature is lower than $0^{\circ}C$. It generates shockwaves at the mechanical interface of the collecting strips of the pantograph and the contact wire. The de-icing processes should be performed to avoid shockwaves which are generated by a pulsed high-voltage arc discharge. This paper presents temperature analysis of the de-icing effects which could be applied to the overhead contact wire of railways using Joule heat. The results show that 350 A is the proper current for $0^{\circ}C$ conductor according to environmental condition such as velocity of air stream, ambient temperature and moisture.

The CD (Capacitor Discharge) stud welding utilizes the arc heat and pressure to attach the stud to the workpiece, which consists of the arc. ignition, arcing and pressure welding stages. In order to predict the dynamic behavior of the CD stud welding process, mechanical and electrical models are employed in this work. While the mechanical model estimates the duration of each stage, the electrical model predicts the voltage and current waveforms using the RLC circuit. Effects of process parameters such as the electric components and spring force are analyzed through simulation. It is found that the contact resistance and gap between the stud and base metal influence the tip fusing and arcing duration. The calculated results showed reasonably good agreements with the experiment results.

This study aims at the optimal design of the screw rotor and its performance analysis. The optimal design of the screw rotor's shape has been performed theoretically. Also, the performance analysis technique of an oil-injected screw air compressor is developed. The effect of internal leakage, heat exchange between air and oil, and flow resistance at suction and discharge ports are included in the performance analysis. Some numerical examples of the volumetric efficiency and adiabatic efficiency for sample rotors are demonstrated for various lobe combination, rotor wrap angles and L/D ratios.

Some animals have special sensing functions in order to find foods, home and mates. Instead of passively sensing, they discharge signals and then extract necessary information from the response. More importantly, they utilize the gradients of the sensed signal in order to find the destination or objects. In this paper this special strategy is formulated mathematically, i.e., the perturbation and the correlation based gradient estimation is developed. A stereo sensor system using temperature sensors mounted on motors is developed for verification. The proposed method can estimate the gradient of the measured value accurately. Using this method, the direction in the maximum measured value can be estimated accurately, and the position of the heat source can be estimated from the intersection of the directions estimated from both sensors.
