금속재료 중 알루미늄(Al)은 일반적으로 많이 사용되는 철강재에 비해 그 비중이 약 $1/3(2.7g/cm^3)$인 경량이고 열전도율이 약 3배($196kcal/^{\circ}C$, $20^{\circ}C$)로 높은 특성 등을 갖고 있다. 또한 대량생산에 의한 경제성을 가지기 때문에 건축 구조재, 전기 및 가전 등 다양한 산업 분야에서 널리 사용되고 있다. 특히, 위와 같은 특성으로 인해 열교환기의 종류에서 응축기(Condenser) 및 증발기(Evaporator)는 알루미늄(Al)을 널리 사용하고 있다. 하지만 단일 응축기 부품에도 이종 알루미늄 소재가 사용됨에 따라 갈바닉 부식이 발생할 수 있다는 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 현재 상용되고 있는 열교환기 중 응축기에서의 이종 알루미늄 재료로 인해 나타나는 갈바닉 부식 특성을 관찰-분석-연구 하였다. 본 연구에 사용된 알루미늄 재료는 현재 응축기 재료 중에서 각각 Tube와 Fin으로 널리 상용되고 있는 Al 1100과 Al 3003을 사용하였다. 표면 모폴로지는 SEM을 통해 관찰하였고 EDS를 통해 조성원소를 분석하였다. 또한 내식성 평가를 위해 5% NaCl 환경에서의 SST(Salt spray test, 염수분무시험) 시험과 3% NaCl 용액 내 자연침지 시험 및 탈기된 3% NaCl 용액 내 전기화학적 동전위 양극 분극 시험을 진행하였으며 더불어 갈바닉 부식 시험에 따른 혼합 전위 측정 및 외관 관찰을 하였다. 각 재료는 실험에 대해 동일한 표면적을 노출시켜 시험하였다. 5% NaCl 환경에서의 염수분무 시험 결과 Fin(Al 3003)의 경우에는 Tube(Al 1100) 보다 빠른 부식거동을 보이며 국부적인 공식부식(Pitting corrosion)이 촉진되었다. Tube(Al 1100)의 경우에는 치밀한 Al2O3 형성과 부식에 따른 Al(OH)3를 생성함에 따라 Fin(Al 3003)에 비해 느린 부식거동을 보였다. 3% NaCl 용액 내 자연 침지 및 전위 측정 결과 초기 전위는 Fin(Al 3003, 약 -0.85V/SCE)이 Tube(Al 1100, 약 -1.05V/SCE)에 비해 더 높은 값을 가지며 약 72시간 이후 Tube(Al 1100) 시편이 더 안정적인 전위 값을 나타냈다. 이는 안정적인 Al(OH)3 피막 형성에 기인한 것으로 사료된다. 탈기된 3% NaCl 용액 내 전기화학적 동전위 양극 분극 시험 결과 Fin(Al 3003) 시편에서 더 귀한 부식 전위 값을 나타냈지만 부식 전류는 더 낮은 값을 나타냈다. 상기 시험 결과를 바탕으로 Fin-Tube 간 장기간 접촉 시에는 갈바닉 부식이 발생할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. 갈바닉 부식 시험 결과 초기 혼합 전위는 약 -1.05 V/SCE를 나타냈으며 약 288시간 경과 후 약 -0.85 V/SCE 값을 나타냈다. 이는 자연 전위 측정 및 동전위 양극 분극 시험에서의 부식 전위 값에서 알 수 있듯이 더 비한 전위인 Tube(Al 1100) 시편이 Fin(Al 3003) 시편에 대해 희생양극적(Sacrificial anode)인 역할을 한 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 갈바닉 부식 전위 측정 간 외관 관찰에서도 Tube(Al 1100) 시편은 빠르게 흑변 하는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며 Fin(Al 3003) 시편은 침지 300시간 이후에도 초기와 유사한 표면 상태 및 광택을 유지하였다. 이상의 SST 시험, 자연 침지 시험, 전기화학적 양극 분극 시험 및 갈바닉 부식 시험 결과를 바탕으로 단일 부품 내 이종 알루미늄 소재 간 접촉 및 그에 따른 갈바닉 부식 발생을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 동종 성분이라고 할지라도 단일 부품 제작 시에는 그 사용 환경에 따라 이종 금속 재료의 사용에 대한 재고가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have excellent electrical, chemical stability, mechanical and thermal properties. In this paper, networks of Multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) materials were investigated as resistive gas sensors for ethanol ($C_2H_5OH$) detection. Sensor films were fabricated by air spray method for the multi-walled CNTs solution on glass substrates. Sensors were characterized by resistance measurements in the sensing system, in order to find the optimum detection properties for the ethanol gas molecular. The film that was sprayed with the MWCNT dispersion for 60 see, was 300 nm thick. And the electric resistivity is $2{\times}10^{-2}\;{\Omega\cdot}cm$. Also, the sensitivity and the linearity of MWVNT sensor for ethanol gas are 0.389 %/sec and 17.541 %/FS, respectively. The MWCNT film was excellent in the response for the ethanol gas molecules and its reaction speed was very fast, which could be using as ethanol gas sensor. The conductance of the fabricated sensors decreases when the sensors are exposed to ethanol gas.

A scope of this study is to establish the optimum plasma spray conditions for fine ($5\mu\textrm{m}$) $Al_2O_3$ powder. However, the flowability of the $Al_2O_3$ powder is not so good because of irregular particle shape and fine particle size. Therefore, powder feeding system was modified by 1) change of powder feeding line material from polymer to copper 2) shorten the powder feeding tube length 3) heating the powder feeding system to $80^{\circ}C$4) vibrating the powder feeding line continuously, in order to feed the fine powder homogeneously. The homogeneous powder feeding conditions were obtained with the modified powder feeding system by controlling the powder carrier gas flow and the powder flow rate indicator. The best plasma spraying conditions for the fine $Al_2O_3$ powder were found out as 40kw gun power, 80 g/min. powder feed rate and 50 mm working distance after characterizing the microstructure, hardness and wear loss of the $Al_2O_3$ coating layer.

A new, high-efficiency ultrasonic fabric washing machine was developed to be an energy-efficient washing machine and to enhance fabric washing quality in washing processes of the dyeing and finishing process in the textile industry. This system is composed of ultrasonic wave generator, air blowing nozzle, torque motor for fabric tension control, and enclosed washing bath, multi-tube type exchanger, noiseless heater, air cylinder, expander roller, mangle upper and lower rollers, bend bar, dancer, shower spray nozzle, and solenoid valve, and so on. These elements are synergised for fabric washing. One of the very important principles is the low tension fabric running system. For an efficient washing effect, a counter flow system is also adopted. The new system also adopts the dancer and torque motor to control fabric tension and prevent fabric creasing. Shower spray nozzle, counter flow and overflow apparatus, and air-blowing apparatus are adopted to enhance the fabric washing effect. In this study, peach yoryu, exter, and moss crepe fabrics were washed by the general and ultrasonic washing systems under different conditions respectively. The washing efficiency was affected by the fabric running speed and characteristics of fabrics. Size content after washing increased with increasing the fabric running speed. The values in the general washing system were higher than those of the ultrasonic washing system. The changes of conductivity in the ultrasonic and the cooling bath were affected by the running time under the ultrasonic generating. The values of conductivity decreased as the experimental time passed.

The researches of a two-phase atomizers have been carried out in the field of automotive and aerospace industries in order to improve the atomization performance of the liquid droplets ejecting from these nozzles. The smaller droplets have the advantages of the reduction of environmental pollution matter and effective use of energy through the improvement of heat and mass transfer efficiency. Thus, to propose the basic information of two-phase flow, an internal mixing atomizer was designed, its shape factor was 0.6 and the liquid feeding hole was positioned at the center of the mixing tube which was used to mix the air and liquid. The experimental work was performed in the field after the nozzle exit orifice. The measurement of the liquid droplets was made by PDPA system. This system can measure the velocity and size of the droplets simultaneously. The number of the droplets used in this calculation was set to 10,000. The flow patterns were regulated by ALR (Air to Liquid mass Ratio). ALR was varied from 0.1024 to 0.3238 depending on the mass flow rate of the air. The analysis of sampling data was mainly focused on the spray characteristics such as flow characteristics distributions, half-width of spray, RMS, and turbulent kinetic energy with ALR.

Ultrafine particles have been widely used in many high technology industrial areas. The spherical nonagglomerated and uniform nanometer-size SiO$_2$particles are synthesized by the direct injection of TEOS(Tetraethyorthosilicate) using electro-hydrodynamic spraying method. Electro-hydrodynamic spraying can generate submicron-size TEOS droplets having high electric charges by applying a high electric field between the liquid injection nozzle and the reaction tube. These TEOS droplets are evaporated, and thermally decomposed or oxidized to produce nanometresized SiO$_2$particles in the reaction tube. Spherical, nonagglomerated and ultrafine particles are generated in various conditions and examined by using SEM and SMPS. As the total gas flow rate in the furnace changes from 1.5 lpm, the mean diameter of SiO$_2$particle decreases from 120 nm to 68 nm. The synthesized particle charging fractions are also investigated.

This paper suggests a DCS (Distributed Control System) model for steam temperature system of the thermal power plant. The model calculated within sectional range is linear. In order to calculate mathematical models, the system is partitioned into two or three sectors according to its thermal conditions, that is, saturated water/steam and superheating state. It is divided into three sections; water supply, steam generation and steam heating loop. The steam heating loop is called 'superheater' or steam temperature system. Water spray supply is the control input. A first order linear model is extracted. For linear approach, sectional linearization is achieved. Modeling methodology is a decomposition-synthetic technique. Superheater is composed of several tube-blocks. For this block, linear input-output model is to be calculated. Each tiny model has its transfer function. By expanding these block models to total system, synthetic DCS linear models are derived. Control instrument include/exclude models are also considered. The resultant models include thermal combustion conditions, and applicable to practical plant engineering field.

This study investigates the influence of energizing duration on the fuel atomization characteristics of biodiesel injected through a high pressure common-rail injector. In order to analyze the effect of energizing duration on the fuel injection rate performance, the injection rate of biodiesel fuel is obtained from the pressure variation in the tube filled with fuel in injection measuring system. On the other hand, the atomization characteristics of biodiesel was measured and compared in terms of Sauter mean diameter(SMD), arithmetic mean diameter(AMD), droplet mean velocity, and detected droplets number by applying a phase Doppler particle analyzer(PDPA). It was revealed that the injection mass and maximum injection rate increase with increase of the energizing duration. Moreover, the increase of energizing duration improves the atomization performance of biodiesel fuel because it induces higher droplets momentum and velocity.
