The particle back transport velocity from the membrane surface were evaluated to determine the critical flux. Four kinds of back transport mechanisms were considered, i.e. back diffusion, shear induced migration, lateral migration, and interaction enhanced migration. The interaction enhanced migration caused by electrostatic repulsion between particles and membrane surface was found to be the most important mechanism of particle back transport for the charged particles of 0.1 ~10${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ diameter with 20 to 40 mV of zeta potential. Hematite particles with different sizes were synthesized with ferric chloride (FeCl$_3$) and hydrochloric acid (HCl) at high temperature, and subsequently experimental critical fluxes for each sized particle were obtained. The experimental results were well coincident with the calculated critical fluxes based on back transport mechanisms.

Non-equilibrium (irreversible) themodynamics is used to investigate colloidal back-diffusion during crossflow membrane filtration. The chemical potential is generalized as a superposition of equilibrium and irreversible contributions, originating from Brownian and shear-induced diffusion, respectively. As a result, an effective drag force is derived using the irreversible thermodynamics for a particle undergoing both Brownian and shear-induced diffusion in a sheared concentrated suspension. Using the drag force, a hydrodynamic force bias Monte Carlo method is developed for crossflow membrane filtration to determine the critical flux of hard sphere suspensions. Effects of shear rate and particle size on the critical flux are studied, and results show a good agreement with experimental observations reported in the literature.

The velocity auto-correlation (VAC) function of liquid argon in the Green-Kubo formula decays quickly within 5 ps to give a well-defined diffusion coefficient because the velocity is the property of each individual particle, whereas the stress (SAC) and heat-flux auto-correlation (HFAC) functions for shear viscosity and thermal conductivity have non-decaying, long-time tails because the stress and heat-flux appear as system properties. This problem can be overcome through N (number of particles)-fold improvement in the statistical accuracy, by considering the stress and the heat-flux of the system as properties of each particle and by deriving new Green-Kubo formulas for shear viscosity and thermal conductivity. The results obtained for the transport coefficients of liquid argon obtained are discussed.

The internal temperature will change depending on operation conditions and material of cyclone dust collector. This study compares the results of collection efficiency and temperature distribution on the different heat flux at wall of dust collector. The previous researcher's experiment results were used to confirm the reliability of CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) model. Based on this verified CFD model, we extended the analysis on the cyclone dust collectors. In CFD study, we used RNG k-epsilon model for analysis of turbulence flow, fluid is air, the velocity at inlet is 10 m/s, the temperature of air is $600^{\circ}C$. Because of the difference of outer vortex and inner vortex temperature, the collection efficiency will reduce with the increase of heat flux, showed the highest collection efficiency at heat insulation.

Sr-ferrite having magnetoplumbite structure is similar to Ba-ferrite in magnetic characteristics, but better magnetic characteristics for using motor application. To improve remanence magnetic flux density(Br) and coercive force(iHc), it is necessary that sintered ferrites must have high density and grain size less than 1 $\mu$m. By varying n values in SrO.nFe2O3 basic composition, calcination temperature, and BaO addition, Sr-ferrite powder and sintered specimen was prepared. The n values, calcination temperature, and BaO addition affected secondary phase formation, particle size, and particle shape. BaO addition enhanced Fe2O3 secondary phase and hexagonal shape particle. Fe2O3 phase reduced sintered density which greatly decreased Br.

The objectives of this research are to (1) observe changes in particle size distribution due to formation of microflocs during coagulation process (2) identify the membrane fouling potential on cross flow system (3) investigate the mechanism of membrane fouling. The rate of flux decline for the hydrophobic membrane was significantly greater than for the hydrophilic membrane, regardless of pretreatment conditions. The pretreatment of the raw water significantly reduced the fouling of the UF membrane. Also, the rate of flux decline for the hydrophobic membrane was considerably greater than for the hydrophilic membrane. Applying coagulation process before membrane filtration showed not only reducing membrane fouling, but also improving the removal of dissolved organic materials that might otherwise not be removed by the membrane. That is, during the mixing period, substantial changes in particle size distribution occurred under rapid and slow mixing condition due to the simultaneous formation of microflocs and NOM precipitates. Therefore, combined pretreatment using coagulation not only improved dissolved organics removal efficiency but also flux recovery efficiency.

The relation between substorm occurrences and HILDCAA events has been an issue. We have studied the association of particle injections with substorm onsets during HILDCAA intervals for the first half of year 2003. The examination of aurora images observed by IMAGE spacecraft and electron flux data measured by LANL satellites exhibits a close association of repetitive particle injections with substorm activity. We also find that HILDCAA events can occur equally frequently during slow speed solar wind streams as long as the interplanetary magnetic field exhibits Alfvenic wave feature.

The convective heat transfer coefficient, emissivity, and flame heat flux on the surface of Duglas fir are estimated by using repulsive particle swarm optimization. The surface temperature, mass loss rate, and ignition time are measured for various incident heat fluxes from a cone heater of the cone calorimeter. The calculated surface temperatures obtained by using the optimized convective heat transfer coefficient, emissivity and flame heat flux on the surface in this study match well with those obtained from the test. The maximum error between the predicted and measured surface temperatures for the three different external heat fluxes is within 2% showing reasonable agreements. The methodology proposed in this study can be used to obtain various values related to heat transfer on a flaming surface that are difficult to measure in experiments.

In this study we investigate 195 spacecraft anomalies from 1998 to 2010 from Satellite News Digest (SND). We classify these data according to types of anomaly : Control, Power, Telemetry etc. We examine the association between these anomaly data and daily peak particle (electron and proton) flux data from GOES as well as their occurrence rates. To determine the association, we use two criteria that electron criterion is >10,000 pfu and proton criterion is >100 pfu. Main results from this study are as flows. First, the number of days satisfying the criteria for electron flux has a peak near a week before the anomaly day and decreases from the peak day to the anomaly day, while that for proton flux has a peak near the anomaly day. Second, we found a similar pattern for the mean daily peak particle (electron and proton) flux as a function of day before the anomaly day. Third, an examination of multiple spacecraft anomaly events, which are likely to occur by severe space weather effects, shows that anomalies mostly occur either when electron fluxes are in the declining stage, or when daily proton peak fluxes are strongly enhanced. This result is very consistent with the above statistical studies. Our results will be discussed in view of the origins of spacecraft anomaly.

The Earth's outer radiation belt has long received considerable attention mainly because the MeV electron flux in the belt varies often dramatically and at various time scales. It is now widely accepted that the wave-particle interaction is one of the major mechanisms responsible for such flux variations. The wave-particle interaction can accelerate electrons to MeV energies, explaining the observed flux increase events, and can also scatter the electrons' motion into the loss cone, resulting in atmospheric precipitation and thus contributing to flux dropouts. In this paper, we provide a review of the current state of research on relativistic electron scattering and precipitation due to the interaction with electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves in the inner magnetosphere. The review is intended to cover progress made over the last ~15 years in the theory and simulations of various issues, including quasilinear resonance diffusion, nonlinear interactions, nonresonant interactions, effects of finite normal angle on pitch angle scattering, effects due to rising tone emission, and ways to scatter near-equatorial pitch angle electrons. The review concludes with suggestions of a few promising topics for future research.
