  • The temperature control system which is using liquid and gaseous nitrogen has been known as the most economical system to simulate space temperature condition due to relatively not expansive price of the liquid nitrogen (less than 0.2 USD per liter). And, among these systems, the closed loop system which circulates compressed nitrogen gas come from sprayed liquid nitrogen by blower and makes a target temperature with heat from an electrical heater and flow rate of liquid nitrogen is prevail all over the world. But, this complete closed loop system requires expansive equipments such as blower, heater, and liquid nitrogen injector, and special maintenance on the system. Therefore, KARI is developing efficient and simple open loop system which utilizes liquid and gaseous nitrogen with eliminating a special blower and other expansive units. In this study, this open loop system with more efficiency and flexibility will be designed and introduced.

  • The liquid nitrogen as an environmentally safe coolant has been widely recognized in cryo­genic machining, its function as a lubricant is plausible due to its chemical inertness, physical volatility and low viscosity. Since a reduced friction is a direct witness of the lubrication effect from a tribological viewpoint, this paper presents an evaluation of the apparent friction coefficient on the tool-chip interface in cryogenic cutting operations to prove and characterize the lubricity of LN2 in cryogenic machining. The cryogenic cutting technology used in this study is based on a cooling approach and liquid nitrogen delivery system which are intended to apply liquid nitrogen in well-controlled fine jets to selectively localized cutting zones and to penetrate liquid nitrogen to the tool-chip interface. It has been found that the apparent friction coefficient can be significantly reduced in cryogenic machining, depending on the approach of liquid nitrogen delivery.

  • In this study, cooling characteristics of combustion gas were investigated by injecting liquid nitrogen into liquid rocket combustion chamber. A injection ring of liquid nitrogen was installed between a combustion chamber and a mixing chamber which was designed for mixing of combustion gas and nitrogen. At first, a ignition test of liquid rocket engine was conducted to verify a stable combustion process and 10 second combustion tests were successfully conducted. The results showed that combustion gas of LRE could be cooled by using liquid nitrogen.

  • The author investigated the larvicidal action of liquid nitrogen against the metacercariae of Clonorchis sinensis, with an observation on the freshness and change of taste in the flesh of fishes. The results obtained were as follows: 1. The metacercariae in the mesh of Pseudorasbora parve, which were treated with liquid nitrogen ($-192^{\circ}C$), were not killed within 10 seconds, but completely killed over 30 seconds. In comparison, the metacercariae in the flesh of p. parka kept in a refrigerator ($-12^{\circ}C$) were killed only in 84% in 10-hour exposure group. 2. The freezing speed of fishes by liquid nitrogen was 4 min.(') and 15 seconds(") for Cyprinus carpio, 1'22" for Carassius carassius and only $30^{\circ}C$ for Pseudorasbora larva. 3. As for the freshness and taste of raw fresh water fishes, they were not deteriorated after the treatment with liquid nitrogen. 4. In animal infection experiment of C. sinensis metacercariae after freezing, they were found not infective after they were treated with liquid nitrogen. From the results, it is inferred that the treatment of fresh water fishes for longer than 30 seconds with liquid nitrogen is helpful to reduce the possibility of C, sinensis infection without alteration of the freshness and taste of fishes.

  • Experimental study of liquid nitrogen pool spread is carried out when it is continuously released. The liquid nitrogen spreads over a cement mortar plate with continuous release. Evaporation rate per unit area of the liquid nitrogen is measured using a digital balance, and a spreading distance of the liquid pool is measured by thermocouples. It is discovered that the evaporation rate per unit area of liquid nitrogen tends to decrease as the liquid pool spreads.

Toxoplasma gondii could be preserved longer than 5 years in liquid nitorgen being evidenced by the in vivo test.

  • Partial discharge measurement is one of the effective diagnostic techniques to predict abnormal high voltage dielectric insulation conditions of the electric equipments. Recently partial discharge diagnostic techniques were also utilized to evaluate the cryogenic dielectric insulation of high temperature superconducting electric equipment in liquid nitrogen. Generally, liquid nitrogen at 77 K is used used as the cryogenic and dielectric media for many high temperature superconducting high voltage applications. When a quench in the superconductor occurs, bubbles are generated which can affect the dielectric properties of the liquid nitrogen. So in order to reduce the bubble formation, subcooled nitrogen was also employed for this purpose. In this work, investigation of partial discharge characteristics of subcooled liquid nitrogen were conducted in order to clarify the retardation of partial discharge initiation voltage according to the different subcooling temperature of liquid nitrogen. And also the relation of partial discharge phenomena and the activities of bubbles were analyzed. It was observed that PD inception voltages shows rather different characteristics according to the decrease of subcooling temperature and the activities of bubbles were strongly influenced by temperature of the subcooled liquid nitrogen.

  • This study investigates the changes in ammonia fluxes, pH and total nitrogen of liquid ferrous sulfate-treated litter over 5 weeks. A total of 200 broiler chicks (Arbor Acres, 1 d old) was separated into two treatment groups (0 g and 100 g liquid ferrous sulfate/kg litter) with four replications of 25 birds in each group. Liquid ferrous sulfate was sprayed on the litter by using a small sprayer. There was no difference (p>0.05) in the ammonia fluxes observed between the control and liquid ferrous sulfate treatment groups at 0, 1, and 5 weeks, except for 2, 3 and 4 weeks. At 5 weeks, the litter pH and total nitrogen content did not show any difference (p>0.05) between the control and liquid ferrous sulfate treatment groups. In conclusion, the use of liquid ferrous sulfate is not a suitable for use in poultry litter to reduce ammonia and pH or improve the total nitrogen content.

  • In this study, a facility was constructed to supply liquid nitrogen to simulate combustion instability in a liquid rocket combustor. The pressurization and supply performances were predicted and verified through different experiments. The liquid nitrogen supply system was composed of a pressurized supply system, and a dome regulator was used to adjust the pressure of the pressurant. A cavitation venturi was used to control the mass flow rate of liquid nitrogen. The condition of liquid nitrogen supply was a mass flow rate of 2.55 kg/s and the venturi inlet pressure was above 100 bar. Based on the initial experiment, it was observed that the predicted amount of the pressurant was not sufficiently supplied and the target pressure was not supplied due to a drop in tank pressure. Through the modification of the established facilities, the target mass flow rate was successfully supplied and the cryogenic liquid nitrogen supply facility was verified.

  • In this paper, we study the insulating properties of the liquid nitrogen(LN2) including the thermal bubbles. The shape of the thermal bubbles in accordance with the current change was observed in the 77 K and 65 K LN2. According to the temperature of liquid nitrogen, bubbles were generated differently. The round shape of the bubble is occurred in 77 K LN2. But the layer shape of bubble is occurred in 65 K LN2. When the bubbles present, the dielectric strength of liquid nitrogen is low. However, the breakdown patterns were different according to the electrode arrangement. AC breakdown voltage(BDV) was lower than the DC BDV due to the influence of bubbles. Therefore, the design of a high-voltage superconducting equipments should consider the bubbles.
