Biodegradable polymeric blends are expected to be widely used by industry due to their environmental friendliness and comparable mechanical and thermal properties. Poly (lactic acid) (PLA) and poly (butylene succinate) (PBS) are such biodegradable polymers which aim to replace commodity polymers in future applications. Since cost and brittleness of PLA is quite high, it is not economically feasible to use it alone for day to day use as a packaging material without blending. In this study, blends of PLA and PBS with various compositions were prepared by using a laboratory-scale twin-screw extruder at $180^{\circ}C$. Morphological, thermal, rheological and mechanical properties were investigated on the samples obtained by compression molding to explore suitability of these compositions for packaging applications. Morphology of the blends was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Morphology showed a clear phase difference trend depending on blend composition. Modulated differential scanning calorimetry (MDSC) thermograms of the blends indicated that the glass transition temperature ($T_g$) of PLA did not change much with the addition of PBS, but analysis showed that for PLA/PBS blend of up to 80/20 composition there is partial miscibility between the two polymers. The tensile strength and modulus were measured by the Instron Universal Testing Machine. Tensile strength, modulus and percentage (%) elongation at break of the blends decreased with PBS content. However, tensile strength and modulus values of PLA/PBS blend for up to 80/20 composition nearly follow the mixing rule. Rheological results also show miscibility between the two polymers for PBS composition less than 20% by weight. PBS reduced the brittleness of PLA, thus making it a contender to replace plastics for packaging applications. This work found a partial miscibility between PBS and PLA by investigating thermal, mechanical and morphological properties.

Nerve gas sensor based on tin oxide was fabricated and its characteristics were examined. Target gas is dimethyl methyl phosphonate(C$_3$ $H_{9}$ $O_3$P, DMMP) that is simulant gas of nerve gas. Sensing materials were Sn $O_2$ added a-Al$_2$ $O_3$ with 0∼20wt.% and were physically mixed each material. They were deposited by screen printing method on alumina substrate. The sensor device was consisted of sensing electrode with interdigit(IDT) type in front and a heater in back side. Total size of device was 7${\times}$10${\times}$0.6㎣. Crystallite size & phase identification and morphology of fabricated Sn $O_2$ powders were analyzed by X-ray diffraction and by a scanning electron microscope, respectively. Fabricated sensor was measured as flow type and resistance change of sensing material was monitored as real time using LabVIEW program. The best sensitivity was 75% at adding 4wt.% $\alpha$-Al$_2$ $O_3$, operating temperature 30$0^{\circ}C$ to DMMP 0.5ppm. Response and recovery time were about 1 and 3min., respectively. Repetition measurement was very good with $\pm$3％ in full scale.TEX>$\pm$3％ in full scale.

태양열 응용을 위한 한 방편으로 캡슐화된 PCM을 이용한 유동층 축열조에서 축열 및 방열과정에서 열전달 특성을 살펴보았다. 유동층 축열조는 원통형으로 높이는 40cm, 직경은 5.0cm 이었다. 축열물질은 무기염의 일종인 sodium acetate 였으며, 이것은 파라핀 왁스와 PMMA 로 코팅되었다. 캡슐화된 PCM의 크기는 약 $2{\sim}3mm$였으며, 용융점은 $58^{\circ}C$였다. 축열 및 방열과정시 유동층 축열조의 시간에 따른 온도분포, 순간 열저장 및 방출 속도를 측정하였으며 이로부터 유동층 축열조의 체적 열전달 계수를 도출하였다. 또한 유동층 축열조의 조업변수인 열전달 유체의 유속, 유입온도에 대한 열전달 계수의 영향도 관찰하였다.

Flow condensation heat transfer coefficients(HTCs) of R22, R4IO, Propane(R290) were measured inside a horizontal 9 hole aluminum multi-channel flat tube. The main test section in the refrigerant loop was made of a 0.53 m long multi-channel flat tube of hydraulic diameter of 1.4 mm. Refrigerant was cooled by passing cold water through an annulus surrounding the test section. Data were obtained in qualities of 0.1 ${\sim}$ 0.9 at mass flux of $200{\sim}400$ $kg/m^2s$ and heat flux of $7.3{\sim}7.7$ $kW/m^2$ at the saturation temperature of $4^{\circ}C$. All popular heat transfer correlations in single-phase subcooled liquid flow and flow condensation originally developed for large single tubes predicted the present data of the multi channel flat tube within 25% deviation when effective heat transfer area was used in determining experimental data. This suggests that there is little change in flow characteristics and patterns when the tube diameter is reduced down to 1.4 mm diameter range. Hence, a modified correlation based on the present data was proposed which could be applied to small diameter tubes with effective heat transfer area. The correlation showed a mean deviation of less than 20% for all data.

Critical heat flux (CHF) is the thermal limit of a phenomenon in which a phase change occurs during heating (such as bubbles forming on a metal surface used to heat water), which suddenly decreases the heat transfer efficiency, thus causing localized overheating of the heating surface. The enhancement of CHF can increase the safety margins and allow operation at higher heat fluxes; thus, it can increase the economy. A very interesting characteristic of nanofluids is their ability to significantly enhance the CHF. Nanofluids are nanotechnology-based colloidal dispersions engineered through the stable suspension of nanoparticles. All experiments were performed in round tubes with an inner diameter of 0.01041 m and a length of 0.5 m under low pressure and low flow (LPLF) conditions at a fixed inlet temperature using water, 0.01 vol.% $Al_2O_3$/water nanofluid, and SiC/water nanofluid. It was found that the CHF of the nanofluids was enhanced and the CHF of the SiC/water nanofluid was more enhanced than that of the $Al_2O_3$/water nanofluid.

The new class of $Gd_5(Si_xGe_{1-x})_4$ compounds undergoes a simultaneous magnetic/structural phase transition giving a high level of strain that can be induced either by change in temperature or by application of a magnetic field. Profound changes of structural, magnetic, and electronic changes occur in the $Gd_5(Si_xGe_{1-x})_4$ system lead to extreme behavior of the material such as the giant magnetocaloric effect, colossal magnetostriction, and giant magnetoresistance. These unique material characters can be utilized for various applications including magnetic solid refrigerants, sensors, and actuators.

본 논문에서는 난방용 축열보드에 응용하기 위해서 미세캡슐을 함유한 축열블럭의 열성능 특성을 조사하였다. 상변화 물질인 $CH_3COONa{\cdot}3H_2O$를 미세캡슐 형태로 제조하였고 미세캡슐 함유량이 각각 10%, 20%가 되도록 시멘트 몰타르와 혼합하여 축열블럭을 제작하였다. 축열블럭의 축열 및 방열 특성을 분석하기 위하여 유량과 유입 냉각 온도를 변화시켰다. 실험결과를 보면 미세캡슐 함유량이 증가할 수록 블럭에 축열되는 축열량은 증가를 하였고 방열시간도 증가를 하였다. 그리고 방열과정시 유량이 증가하고 유입 냉각온도가 감소함에 따라 방열시간은 감소하였다. 순수블럭(0% 미세캡슐 함유량)은 방열과정시 총괄 열전달 계수는 시간에 따라서 일정하게 유지를 하지만 축열블럭에서는 시간이 지남에 따라 증가를 하였다.

An experimental investigation of the gas-phase photooxidation of toluene-NO$_{x}$-air mixtures at sub-ppm concentrations has been carried out in a 6.9 m3, indoor smog chamber irradiated by blacklights. Measured parameters in the toluene-NO$_{x}$ experiments included $O_3$, NO, NO$_2$, NO$_{x}$, CO, SO$_2$ toluene, and air temperature. The initial toluene concentration ranged from 225 ppb to 991 ppb and the initial concentration ratio of toluene/NO$_{x}$ in ppbC/ppb was in the range of 5～20. It was found that the variation of gaseous species with irradiation time caused by the photooxidation of toluene-NO$_{x}$-air mixtures depended on the initial toluene concentration for similar concentration ratio of toluene/NO$_{x}$. The dependency of initial toluene concentration on the photooxidation of toluene-NO$_{x}$-air mixtures for toluene/NO$_{x}$=5～6 seemed to be opposite to that for toluene/NO$_{x}$=10～11. The arriving time at maximum ozone concentration depended on both initial toluene concentration and initial concentration ratio of toluene/NO$_{x}$. However, the maximum concentration of ozone formed by photooxidation depended only on the initial toluene concentration.luene concentration.

동상민감성 시료의 동상 거동을 평가하기 위해 완전히 결합된 열-수리-역학 연계해석을 수행하였다. 이를 위한 구성모델은 질량보존방정식, 에너지보존방정식, 힘평형방정식을 기반으로 유도되었다. 구성모델을 통해 간극수의 상변화, 간극수 유동 및 수반되는 기계적 변형 등 1차원 동결에 대한 다양한 물리적 현상을 정량적으로 고려할 수 있었다. 한편, 시료의 동상발생량 및 동상속도에 미치는 영향 인자들을 조사하기 위해 민감도 분석 연구가 수행되었다. 민감도 분석 결과에 따르면, 시료의 초기 간극비는 종속변수인 동상발생량과 동상속도에 독립적으로 큰 영향을 미치는 반면 흙 입자 열전도도 및 온도구배는 독립적으로 미치는 영향보다 두 변수 간 상호 작용을 통해 더 큰 영향을 미침을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서 고려된 인자들은 모두 동상발생량과 동상속도에 영향을 미치는 주요 인자이며, 표본시료의 동상민감성 여부를 결정하는 데에 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

Urea-SCR시스템에 적용하기 위한 액막형 선회분사기의 분사압력변화에 따른 분무특성이 실험적으로 조사되었다. 실험에 사용된 노즐은 형상비 3.1을 갖는 단공 압력식 액막형 선회노즐이며, 노즐선단에 분사되는 유체에 선회류를 형성하기 위한 선회기가 설치되어 있다. 노즐의 분사량 조절은 PWM(pulse width modulation)기법에 의해 제어되었다. 분무의 발달과정은 2차원 PIV에 의해 가시화되었으며, 분무각 변화가 조사되었다. 분무액적의 속도 및 크기는 2차원 PDPA에 의해 상온 대기압 조건에서 측정되었다. 분무구조는 분사압력에 큰 영향을 받으며, SMD는 분사압력 증가에 따라 감소하며 선행연구자의 반실험적 결과와 유사한 경향을 보임을 알 수 있었다.
