The effect of particle size of coating powder and coating temperature on the thickness of coating layer formed on metal surface was studied by using XRD, SEM and EDXS. Coating powder was separated according to particle size by 3 steps and coating temperatures were varied from $950^{\circ}C$ to $980^{\circ}C$. Calorizing carried out at air and Ar conditions for 5 hrs, respectively. XRD result show that $Al_2O_3$ and AlN were formed during calorizing at air condition. The thickness and Al content of coating layer increased as the particle size of coating powder decreased and coating temperature increased.

Soot particles emitted from combustion processes are often coated by non-absorbing organic materials, which enhance the global warming effect of soot particles. It is of importance to study the condensation characteristics of soot particles experimentally and theoretically to reduce the uncertainty of the climate impact of soot particles. In this study, the condensational growth of soot particles in a tubular coater was modeled by a one-dimensional (1D) plug flow model and a two-dimensional (2D) laminar flow model. The effects of 2D heat and mass transports on the predicted particle growth were investigated. The temperature and coating material vapor concentration distributions in radial direction, which the 1D model could not accounted for, affected substantially the particle growth in the coater. Under the simulated conditions, the differences between the temperatures and vapor concentrations near the wall and at the tube center were large. The neglect of these variations by the 1D model resulted in a large error in modeling the mass transfer and aerosol dynamics occurring in the coater. The 1D model predicted the average temperature and vapor concentration quite accurately but overestimated the average diameter of the growing particles considerably. At the outermost grid, at which condensation begins earliest due to the lowest temperature and saturation vapor concentration, condensing vapor was exhausted rapidly because of the competition between condensations on the wall and on the particle surface, decreasing the growth rate. At the center of the tube, on the other hand, the growth rate was low due to high temperature and saturation vapor concentration. The effects of Brownian diffusion and thermophoresis were not high enough to transport the coating material vapor quickly from the tube center to the wall. The 1D model based on perfect radial mixing could not take into account this phenomenon, resulting in a much higher growth rate than what the 2D model predicted. The result of this study indicates that contrary to a previous report for a thermodenuder, 2D heat and mass transports must be taken into account to model accurately the condensational particle growth in a coater.

A numerical study has been done on the evolution of particle size distribution in particle laden high temperature jet flows undergoing convection, diffusion, thermophoresis and coagulation. The dynamic behavior of these particles have been modelled by approximating the particle size distribution by a lognormal function throughout the process and the moments of the particle size distribution have been used to solve the general dynamic equation. The size distributions of spherical particles in the radial and axial direction have been obtained including the effect of buoyancy. Of particular interests are the variations of geometric mean diameter, number concentration and polydispersity. Results show that buoyancy significantly alters the size distribution in both axial and radial direction. One dimensional analysis for non-spherical particles has also been done and the results have been compared with the existing experimental data.

The versatile aerosol concentration enrichment system (VACES) have proven useful for providing elevated levels of atmospheric aerosol to human and animal exposures. In this study, we describe a VACES and tests conducted to both optimize the enhancement factor (EF) and characterize how it depends on experiment conditions. Particle number concentrations were measured from upstream and downstream of the system by scanning mobility particle sizer (SMPS) with a long differential mobility analyzer (DMA) in combination with a condensation particle counter (CPC). SMPS was used for to determine VACES particle EF. Particle EF tends to increase for higher the saturator temperature ($T_{Sat}$) and lower the condenser temperature ($T_{Con}$). $T_{Con}$ higher than $0^{\circ}C$ and $T_{Sat}$ lower than $50^{\circ}C$ was the best to obtain the most increase in particle concentration. Correlation analysis of EF with factor variables of $T_{Sat}$ and $T_{Con}$ resulted in correlation 0.662 and 0.416, respectively. With all five predictor variables included in a multiple regression model, the EF had a liner correlation with $R^2=0.643$.

The burning characteristics of interacting coal particles in a convective flow are numerically investigated at various Reynolds numbers. The transient combustion of 2-dimensionally arranged particles, both the fixed particle distances of 5 radii to 20 radii horizontally and 3 radii to 24 radii vertically, is studied. The results obtained from the present numerical analysis reveal that the transient flame configuration and retardation of particle temperature augmentation with the horizontal or vertical particle spacing substantially influence devolatilization process and carbon conversion ratio of interacting particles. Volatile release and carbon conversion ratio of the second particle with decreasing horizontal and vertical particle spacing decrease gradually, whereas those of the first particle with decreasing vertical particle spacing increases due to flow acceleration. When the vertical particle spacing is smaller than $6R_{o}$, volatile release and carbon conversion ratio of the second particle decrease greatly due to reduction of flame penetration depth.

Strength development of concrete subjected to cold weather is generally delayed due to its low temperature. In case of soil nailing method, it is necessary to apply the shotcrete. However, the shotcrete placement under low temperature experiences retardation of strength development due to delayed hydration reaction. Therefore, in this paper, the use of fine particle cement which is produced through particle classification in cement manufacturing process, is discussed to enhance the strength development of the shotcrete under low temperature. According to the results, the concrete containing 100% of fine particle cement had excellent strength development even at $-9^{\circ}C$ of temperature and at 5days, it reached design strength with PE film curing. It is thought that more than 70% of fine particle cement can secure required strength of the shotcrete even at low temperature condition.

It is well-known that high temperature hurts the sizing effect of rosin size in paper making, mainly owing to the particle size of rosin-aluminium complex in paper stock. In this experiments, author find, when the temperature of stock rises up. the particle size of rosin-aluminium complex of neutral rosin size increases and the degree of sizing decreases finally. However, the behavior of Bewoid size is quite opposite to former. This result showed that, Bewoid size is suitable in hot summer and neutral rosin size in cold winter for better sizing effect.

In this work, $TiO_2$ nanoparticles were synthesized using a N2-diluted hydrogen coflow diffusion flame. The effects of flame temperature on the crystalline structure and the size of formed nanoparticles were investigated. The maximum centerline temperature of the flame ranged from 1,920K for $H_2-only$ flame to 863k for $81\%\;N_2-diluted$ flame. The morphology and the crystal structure of $TiO_2$ nanoparticles were analyzed by a TEM and a XRD, respectively. The particle size distribution was also measured by using a scanning mobility particle size. (SMPS). The mean particle diameter was calculated from the TEM images depended on the flame temperature, having minimum at about 1,look. Based on the SMPS measurements, the mean particle diameter of $TiO_2$ nanoparticles at flame temperatures > 1,300K was smaller than that at flame temperatures < 1,300K. From the XRD analysis, it was evident that the anatase fraction increased with decreasing the flame temperature. The portion of anatase phase in $TiO_2$ nanoparticles might be greater than $80\%$ when the flame temperature was lower than 1,000K.

The main purpose of this study is to generate a fine copper oxide powder of high purity, with a compact structure and a uniform particle size by a spray pyrolysis process. The raw material is a waste copper chloride solution formed in the manufacturing process of Print Circuit Board (PCB). This study also examines the influences of various factors on the properties of the generated powder. These factors include the reaction temperature, the inflow speed of the raw material solution, the inflow speed of the air, the size of the nozzle tip, and the concentration of the raw material solution. It is discovered that, as the reaction temperature increases from 80$0^{\circ}C$ to 100$0^{\circ}C$ , the particle size of the generated powder increases accordingly, and that the structure of the powder becomes much more compact. When the reaction temperature is 100$0^{\circ}C$, the particle size of the generated powder increases as the concentration of copper in the raw material solution increases to 40g/l, decreases as the concentration increases up to 120g/l, and increases again as the concentration reaches 200g/1. In the case of a lower concentration of the raw material solution, the generated powder appears largely in the form of CuO. As the concentration increases, however, the powder appears largely in the form of CuCl. When the concentration of copper in the raw material solution is 120g/1, the particle size of the generated powder increases as the inflow speed of the raw material solution increases. When the concentration of copper in the raw material solution is 120g/1, there is no evident change in the particle size of the generated powder as the size of the nozzle tip and the air pressure increases. When the concentration is 40g/1, however, the particle size keeps increasing until the air pressure increases to 0.5kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$, but decreases remarkably as the air pressure exceeds 0.5kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$.
