  • In order to simulate and visually observe combustion phenomena in cylindrical radial-flow porous inert media, a radial multi-channel burner, made of transparent quartz plates, was fabricated. Flame stabilization characteristics and its pulsating instability in the burner were experimentally investigated with respect to various mixture flow rates and equivalence ratio. As a result, five different flame behaviors, such as stable flame, pulsating instability, sudden extinction, blowout and unstable extinction, were observed. Mean radial position of circularly arranged multi-flame and its averaged burning velocity were measured and then compared to the freely propagating flame. The multi-flame pulsation frequency is about several tens of Hz and it is supposed to be generated by the heat diffusion enhancement to cold pre-mixture by the intensive gas-solid interaction.

  • 본 논문은 펄스 인버터용 TIG(Tungsten Inert Gas) 아크 용접기를 구현하는 용접전원장치의 성능에 관하여 알아본다. 용접전류는 펄스형태로 제어되고 또한 안정된 아크와 좋은 용접성능을 얻을 수 있다. DC 고전압 아크 스타트 시스템을 채용한 TIG 아크용접기에 대해 토치와 용접전원 사이의 연장 케이블이 50m 나 되어도 아크 스타트이 실패 없이 용접을 행할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 따라서, 이 DC 고전압 아크 스타트방식을 이용한다면 용접 전원장치와 용접장이 멀리 떨어져 있는 조선소와 같은 장소에서 요용하리라 생각된다. 이를 확인하기 위하여 시뮬레이션 및 실험을 행하였다.

  • At present the processes of boronizing have been mostly studied in a plasma from gaseous compounds containing the impregnating element and are in an industrial use. These have been investigated by a variety of works in a glow discharge with different mixture ratios of $B_2H_6$ and $H_2$ as well as $BCl_3$ and $H_2$. The active atomosphere has been diluted by Ar or some other inert gas in order to enhance control of boron potential and to reduce the ignition voltage of the glow discharge. The Control of gaseous atomosphere is essential to a boride layer in plamsa boronizing treatment. The boride formation is required to make the workpiece surface saturated with boron content. The present study considers the efficiency of plasma boronizing reactions and the morphology of boride layer under various plasma conditions

  • Following the ratification of Vienna Convention for Ozone Layer Protection and Montreal Protocol, Indonesia will implement the phasing-out of to halon at end 1996. Questions are increasing especially from the users where halon has used for many years as the most effective fire extinguishing agent, concerning halon substitutes, alternative systems as well as the handling and utilization of the existing halon. Halon can still be used for critical and essential uses, however, such usage has been gradually eliminated, due to the emergence of halon-like replacement. A concept of halon banking system is proposed to considered, taking into account several aspects such as enforced regulation, institutional involvement technology as well as financing. This paper gives a general overview regarding phase-out implementation, alternative extinguishing systems and concept on halon banking system with special reference to Indonesian case.

  • The effects of the concentration and the pressure of reactants on laser output were reported in the previous study. The present study is made of the following main parameters on laser characteristics; the initial temperature of the reaction mixture, inert gas (He) added in the reaction mixture, and the level of initiation as a function of time. As the initial temperature of reaction mixture decreases, both the output energy and the duration time increase. Especially, the output energy is linearly proportional to the inverse of the initial temperature. In order to obtain a proper lasing for a given condition, a sufficient amount of He must be added: The optimum ratio of [He] to $[D_2\;+\;F_2\;+\;CO_2]$ is found to be greater than 2. In addition, the time dependence of level of initiation (TDLI) shows no significant difference in total output energy from that of the premixed model, but only the power profile.

  • The aim of this study was to evaluate welders' exposure to hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) and nickel (Ni) during welding operations in a Korean shipyard. The airborne Cr(VI) and Ni concentrations were measured during metal inert gas (MIG) welding on mild and stainless steel, and manual metal arc (MMA) welding on mild steel. The geometric mean (GM) of Cr(VI) concentrations inside the welding helmet during MIG welding on mild steel were $0.0018mg/m^3$ inside a ship section, and $0.0015-0.0026mg/m^3$ at the welding shops. All of the personal breathing zone air samples were below the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) Threshold Limit Value ($TLV^{(R)}$) of $0.01mg/m^3$. Conversely, eighty-eight percent(21 of 24) of the personal breathing zone air samples exceeded the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) recommended exposure limit of $0.001mg/m^3$. Ni was not detected on 20 of 23 air samples collected during MIG welding on mild steel. The three Ni samples above the limit of detection ranged from 0.015 to $0.044mg/m^3$. The GM of Cr(VI) concentrations during MMA welding on mild steel were $0.0013mg/m^3$, but Ni was not detected in the air samples during this operation. It is assumed that the airborne Cr(VI) and Ni during mild steel welding were derived from the base metals which contained about 0.03% Cr and 0.03% Ni. The GM of airborne total Cr, Cr(VI) and Ni concentrations during MIG welding on stainless steel were 4.02, 0.13 and $0.86mg/m^3$, respectively, and the levels of Cr(VI) and Ni were above the ACGIH-$TLV^{(R)}$. Cr(VI) comprised about 35.5% of the total chromium(Cr) from MIG welding on mild steel, and about 8.4% of total Cr from MIG welding on stainless steel. The ratios of Cr(VI) to total Cr were significantly different among welding shops. It was concluded that welders were exposed to high levels of Cr(VI) and Ni during welding on stainless steel, and were exposed to low levels of Cr(VI) even during welding on mild steel.

  • We synthesized novel polyimides with high gas permeability and selectivity for application of on board inert gas generation system (OBIGGS). 2,2-bis(3,4-carboxylphenyl) hexafluoropropane dianhydride (6FDA) and two kinds of amines with high permeability and solubility were used to prepare the novel polymide. 2,3,5,6-Tetramethyl-1,4-phenylenediamine (TMPD) was used to improve gas permeability and various kinds of diamines were used to improve the gas selectivity respectively. The polyimide copolymers were synthesized by commercial chemical imidization method and their average molecular weights were over 100,000g/mol. The glass temperature ($T_g$) and the thermal degradation temperature were characterized using differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The synthesized copolymers showed high $T_g$ over $300^{\circ}C$ and high thermal degradation temperature over $500^{\circ}C$. The gas permeation properties were measured by time-lag equipment. Although general polyimides showed very low gas permeability, synthesized polyimide copolymer showed high $O_2$ permeability of 36.21 barrer with high $O_2/N_2$ selectivity around 4.1. From this result, we confirm that these membranes have possibility to apply to OBIGGS.

  • In OBIGGS, a small amount of ozone in the atmosphere damages the polymer membrane. Therefore, the ozone removal device is installed at the front end to prevent the damage of the membrane by reducing the concentration of ozone in the gas delivered to the membrane. In this study, two hollow fiber membranes, PI and PSf, used to fabrication hollow fiber module with an effective membrane area of $6.37cm^2$ for gas separation in OBIGGS. The ozone concentration in the chamber was maintained at 2-3 ppm. The gas was continuously supplied into the module by using a pump. The gas permeation characteristics and the tensile strength were evaluated as a function of ozone exposure time. The PI-based hollow fiber membrane showed only 20% reduction in the transmittance, and remained its original uniformity without any significant changes. However, when PSf type hollow fiber membranes were used, the permeability decreased by more than 80% and the tensile strength decreased by more than 70%.

  • The effect of packaging on the quality of dried anchovy was investigated, when packed with various materials and stored at different conditions. In cases of nitrogen gas substitution or addition of antioxidant, the reaction rates of lipid oxidation, the loss of available lysine and browning of the samples sealed in aluminum laminated film bag were lower than those packed in kraft paper or polyethylene film bag while the samples without gas substitution did not reveal any great differences in the rate of the reactions. The shelf-lives of the samples computed as a function of lipid oxidation were 90, 98 and 137 days at the storage of $35^{\circ}C$ for the packages of kraft paper, polyethylene and aluminum film respectively. And those at $55^{\circ}C$ storage for the same samples were 47, 51 and 77 days. The half-lives of available lysine loss were 227, 209 and 312 days at $35^{\circ}C$: 83, 83 and 147 days at $55^{\circ}C$ for the samples respectively. And the shelf-lives determined as a function of browning reaction were 26, 27 and 49 days at $55^{\circ}C$. The predicted shelf-lives at $25^{\circ}C$ as a function of lipid oxidation were 130, 140, and 189 days for kraft paper, polyethylene and aluminum laminated film packaging: 207, 229 and 246 days for the browning reaction, and 363, 339 and 415 days for the loss of available lysine. The results suggest that the protective effect of packaging on the reactions of lipid oxidation and browning could not be aided unless the air was expelled or replaced to inert gas.

  • Ferromagnetic tunnel junctions were fabricated by dc magnetron sputtering and plasma oxidation process. The local transport properties of the ferromagnetic tunnel junctions were studied using contact-mode Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and the local current-voltage analysis. Tunnel junctions with the structure of sub./Ta/Cu/Ta/NiFe/Cu/Mn$\_$75/Ir$\_$25//Co$\_$70/Fe$\_$30//Al-oxide were prepared on thermally oxidized Si wafers. Al-oxide layers were formed with microwave excited plasma using radial line slot antenna (RLSA) for 5 and 7 sec. Kr gas was used as the inert gas mixed with $O_2$ gas for the plasma oxidization. No correlation between topography and current image was observed while they were measured simultaneously. The local current distribution was well identified with the distribution of local barrier height. Assuming the gaussian distribution of the local barrier height, the ferromagnetic tunnel junction with longer oxidation time was well fitted with the experimental results. As contrast, in the case of the shorter time oxidation junction, the current mainly flow through the low barrier height area for its insufficient oxygen. Such leakage current might result in the decrease of tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) ratio.
