As an experiment investigation, the effects of ethanol blended gasoline fuel with different injection method on nano-sized particle emission characteristics were examined in a 0.5L spark-ignited single-cylinder engine with a compression ratio of 10. Because this engine nano-particles are currently attracting interest due to its adverse health effects and their impact on the environments. So a pure gasoline and an ethanol blended gasoline fuels, namely E85 fuel, used for this study. And, as a particle measuring instrument, a fast-response particle spectrometer (DMS 500) with heated sample line was used for continuous measurement of the particle size and number distribution in the size range of 5 to 1000nm (aerodynamic diameter). As this research results, we found that the effect of ethanol blending gasoline caused drastic decrease of nano-particle emissions when port fuel injection was used for making better air-fuel mixture than direct fuel injection. Also injection timing, specially direct fuel injection, could be a dominant factor in controlling the exhaust particle emissions.

Spray characteristics of external mixing sonic twin-fluid atomization nozzles are investigated experimentally. Particle sizes are measured by the Fraunhofer diffraction method using the Malvern particle analyzer, and their radial distributions are obtained using the tomographical transformation technique. The spatial distribution of SMD shows that the drop size increases in the radial direction at a fixed liquid flow rate, and the distribution is getting uniform rapidly as the atomizing gas pressure increases. The SMD decreases as the liquid flow rate increases at a fixed GLR. It is found that the atomization efficiency of the flush type sonic nozzle is superior to that of protrusion type. The effect of laser beam diameter of the particle analyzer on the spatial SMD distribution is minor at present experimental conditions.

Electro-flotation (EF) has shown advantages, such as a high removal efficiency and easy control of bubble generation, over dissolved air flotation. However, the fundamental characteristics of the process have not been investigated in detail. According to recent modeling results from trajectory analysis, the size of the bubble is one of the most important factors that affect the efficiency of collision between bubble and particle. In this paper, the size characteristics of bubbles generated from EF under various conditions are measured using a new method for bubble size measurement, the Particle Counter Method (PCM). The size of the generated bubbles was found to be constant with respect to applied voltage but to vary with the electrode materials. These results and their implications are discussed.

APS (Aerodynamic Particle Sizer) and OPC (Optical Particle Counter) have been widely used to real-time measurement of indoor and outdoor aerosols. The APS measures the size distribution based on an aerodynamic diameter, while the OPC uses optical diameter to measure the size distribution of aerosols. Since obtaining a size distribution based on aerodynamic diameter is important to understand aerosol characteristics, lots of researcher had been developed experimental equations which can convert optical diameter into aerodynamic diameter. However, previous studies have conducted repeated experiments on particles having a single diameter. In this study, an experimental method of converting optical diameter into aerodynamic diameter through a single experiment was presented. The collection efficiencies of an axial cyclone were measured using APS and OPC at the same time, and the correlation equation between aerodynamic diameter and optical diameter was driven through a theoretical model. Using the proposed method, the size distribution of NaCl particles measured by OPC showed a high correlation with the size distribution obtained by APS (0.93 of R-squared value). In the tests conducted on ISO A1, A2, and A4 test particles, the converted OPC size distribution tended to be similar to the APS size distribution, and for each of test particles (ISO A1, A2, and A4), the R-squared values for the APS particle size distribution were 0.75, 0.86, and 0.89, respectively.

The use of fluorescent whitening agents (FWAs) increases as the demand for the whiter and brighter printing papers increases. FWAs are used as internal and surface treatment chemicals. FWAs that are not used properly in the papermaking process, however, remain in the process water and may demage the paper quality and processes. In this study, a new idea to eliminate FWAs from the process water, consisted of the floc formation of FWAs with cationic chemicals, such as cationic polyelectrolytes and alum, and the removal of the floc by screening or sedimentation, was proposed. Flocculation of FWAs, that is the first step to remove FWAs from the process water, was investigated using turbidity and particle size measurement. Relationship between turbidity and particle size showed that the turbidity could reflect the particle size change of FWA flocs and was proper for the evaluation of flocculation phenomena. Poly-DADMAC was more efficient than PEI to induce the flocculation of FWAs. Alum was effective chemical for the flocculation and sedimentation of FWAs.

Silicone rubber has very excellent chemical stability and hydrophobicity. A hydrophobic surface can prevent the formation of continuous water films on the surface in wet and heavily contaminated conditions. This phenomenon contributes to the suppression of leakage current and partial discharges on insulator surfaces. Silicone rubber has been used much for housing materials of polymer insulators. ATH is added to the silicone rubber for improvement of its resistance against surface discharge. In this paper, ATH with different particle size and content was added to the silicone rubber during compounding. Silicone rubber was deteriorated by a corona treatment. Hydrophobicity recovery rate after corona treatment and arc resistance of silicone rubber were investigated. Hydrophobicity recovery rate of silicone rubber was evaluated by the measurement of contact angle. Arc resistance was evaluated by measuring weight loss of silicone rubber after arc resistance test. It was observed that the hydrophobicity recovery rate and arc resistance of silicone rubber were different when different particle size and content of ATH were added.

역상 현탁중합법을 이용하여 폴리(아크릴산 포타슘-co-아크릴아마이드) 고흡수성 수지를 입자형태로 제조하였다. 제조된 고분자의 평균 입자 지름은 50～300 $\mu\textrm{m}$ 범위 내에서 계면활성제의 양이 증가함에 따라 감소하였다. 중량측정법을 이용하여 흡수 및 증발 과정에서의 동적, 평형 팽윤 특성을 살펴보았다. 수용액 내에서의 흡수에 따른 입자의 팽윤도는 가교밀도뿐만 아니라 입자의 크기, 외부수용액의 염 농도, 공중합체 조성 등에 크게 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 입자 크기, 첨가된 가교제의 농도, 그리고 외부의 이온농도가 감소함에 따라 흡수되는 물의 양이 증가하였다. 수분증발거동은 흡수거동과는 달리 입자의 크기나 공중합체의 조성, 가교제 양 등에 많은 영향을 받지 않았다.

This paper presents an experimental measurement of effective thermal conductivity in an adsorbent packed bed with silica gel A type. The effective thermal conductivity was measured under different conditions of the adsorbent bed temperature, pressure, particle size and water content by using the transient hot wire method. The measured effective thermal conductivity showed to become bigger with decreasing particle size or increasing water content, but it was a little affected with increasing bed temperature and pressure. The bed temperature was varied in the range of 1$0^{\circ}C$ (equation omitted) T (equation omitted) 5$0^{\circ}C$ and the pressure in the range of 10 kPa (equation omitted) P (equation omitted) 190 kPa. The results show that 0.10～0.18 W/mㆍK of effective thermal conductivity measured for the zero water content.

Although a scooter is a convenient transportation means for a short distance traveling with a light package in the congested urban center, it might be one of the significant sources of air pollutants to which many people can easily be exposed during its passing-by. In this paper, we measured concentrations of gases and particles emitted from a scooter at roadside with no other traffic. To understand the characteristics of scooter emissions with respect to driving speed (idling, 30 km/h) at the roadside, total particle number concentration, particle size distribution, average surface area of particles deposited in the alveolar region, and concentrations of black carbon, CO, and $NO_x$ were measured. The concentrations of the particle number, surface area of deposited particles, CO, and $NO_x$ were highly fluctuated in the scooter's idling condition. The trends of particle number concentration, CO, and $NO_x$ generation were similar to one another. When the scooter started to move, all of $NO_x$, CO and particle number concentrations increased and after it passed by at the speed of 30 km/h, the concentration peaks of the particles and gases appeared at the same time. Unimodal size distribution with ~70 and ~93 nm mode diameters was observed for the idling and cruising condition, respectively. From this work, we found that emission from a passing vehicle could be characterized using a roadside monitoring technique.
