The transition boiling of a liquid droplet on a heated flat surface was studied utilizing Kotake's model with the effects of viscosity of a thin vapor layer between the droplet and the hot plate taken into account. This problem was analyzed considering the process of the droplet evaporation which resulted in hydrodynamic instability at the liquid-vapor interface. The results of the study are as follows; (1)The effect of the viscosity in the vapor layer at the interface appears as a dimensionless number N, namely .sigma. .delta.$_{0}$ /.rho.nu.$^{2}$ (2)The time required for evaporation at the transitional region increases with the temperature difference ratio .DELTA. T$_{r}$. The rate of increase of the total evaporation time becomes larger as increasing of N$_{m}$(N number at maximum heat flux) increases.s.

Single crystalline $In_xGa_{1-x}As$ nanowires are grown on Si (111) substrate via Vapor-Liquid-Solid growth mode using metal-organic chemical vapor deposition. The ternary nanowires have been grown with various growth conditions and examined by electron microscopy. The alloy compositions of the nanowires has been investigated using Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. We have found that the composition gradient of the nanowire becomes larger with growth temperature and V/III ratio.

An evaporating diesel spray of a common rail lnjector was visualized by LIEF technique. This technique makes it possible to separate the vapor and liquid phase images. The experiment was conducted in a constant volume vessel to make a high temperature and high pressure condition. Three images(vapor and liquid phase images from LIEF and a liquid phase image from Mie scattering) were taken simultaneously in one spray event. The major experimental parameters are the injection pressure and the ambient gas pressure. Also, a relative SMD distribution in a liquid phase was obtained by the ratio of the intensities of the fluorescence and the Mie scattering. The results show that the injection pressure and the ambient gas pressure have a close relation with the spray development and air-fuel muting process.

The present work pertains to a research program to study Molten Fuel-Coolant Interactions (MFCI), which may occur in a nuclear power plant during a hypothetical severe accident. Dynamics of the hot liquid (melt) droplet and the volatile liquid (coolant) were investigated in the MISTEE (Micro-Interactions in Steam Explosion Experiments) facility by performing well-controlled, externally triggered, single-droplet experiments, using a high-speed visualization system with synchronized digital cinematography and continuous X-ray radiography. The current study is concerned with the MISTEE-NCG test campaign, in which a considerable amount of non-condensable gases (NCG) are present in the film that enfolds the molten droplet. The SHARP images for the MISTEE-NCG tests were analyzed and special attention was given to the morphology (aspect ratio) and dynamics of the air/ vapor bubble, as well as the melt drop preconditioning. Energetics of the vapor explosion (conversion ratio) were also evaluated. The MISTEE-NCG tests showed two main aspects when compared to the MISTEE test series (without entrapped air). First, analysis showed that the melt preconditioning still strongly depends on the coolant subcooling. Second, in respect to the energetics, the tests consistently showed a reduced conversion ratio compared to that of the MISTEE test series.

We report nonvolatile memory properties of poly (3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) thin films grown by vapor phase polymerization using FeCl3 as an oxidant. Liquid-bridge-mediated transfer method was employed to remove FeCl3 for generation of pure PEDOT thin films. From the electrical measurement of memory device, we observed voltage induced bipolar resistive switching behavior with ON/OFF ratio of 103 and reproducibility of more than 103 dc sweeping cycles. ON and OFF states were stable up to 104 seconds without significant degradation. Cyclic voltammetry data illustrates resistive switching effect can be attributed to formation and rupture of conducting paths due to oxidation and reduction of PEDOT. The maximum current before reset process was found to be increase linearly with increase in compliance current applied during set process.

Nano-scaled metal oxides have been attractive materials for sensors, photocatalysis, and dye-sensitization for solar cells. We report the controlled synthesis and characterization of single crystalline $TiO_2$ nanowires via a catalyst-assisted vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) and vapor-solid (VS) growth mechanism during TiO powder evaporation. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) studies show that as grown $TiO_2$ materials are one-dimensional (1D) nano-structures with a single crystalline rutile phase. Also, energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy indicates the presence of both Ti and O with a Ti/O atomic ratio of 1 to 2. Various morphologies of single crystalline $TiO_2$ nano-structures are realized by controlling the growth temperature and flow rate of carrier gas. Large amount of reactant evaporated at high temperature and high flow rate is crucial to the morphology change of $TiO_2$ nanowire.

Forced convective boiling heat transfer coefficients were predicted for an annular flow inside a horizontal tube for pure refrigerants and nonazeotropic binary refrigerant mixtures. The heat transfer coefficients were calculated based on the turbulent temperature profile in liquid film and vapor core considering the composition difference in vapor and liquid phases, and the nonlinearity in mixing rules for the calculation of mixture properties. The heat transfer coefficients of pure refrigerants were estimated within a standard deviation of 14% compared with available experimental data. For nonazeotropic binary refrigerant mixtures, prediction of the heat transfer coefficients was made with a standard deviation of 18%. The heat transfer coefficients of refrigerant mixtures were lower than linearly interpolated values calculated from the heat transfer coefficients of pure refrigerants. This degradation was represented by several factors such as the difference between the liquid and the overall compositions, the conductivity ratio and the viscosity ratio of both components in refrigerant mixtures. The temperature change due to the concentration gradient was a major factor for the heat transfer degradation and the mass flux itself at the interface had a minor effect.

The objective of this study is to predict numerically the effect of intake humidification on the injected diesel fuel spray characteristics in a compression ignition engine. In this work, Wave model and Ducowicz model were applied as the break-up model and evaporation model, respectively. The amount of water vapor for the humidification was changed from 0% to 30% of injected fuel mass. The number of applied meshes was generated from 49,000 to 110,000. At the same time, the results of this work were compared in terms of spray tip penetration, SMD and equivalence ratio distributions. It was found that the cylinder temperature and cylinder pressure were decreased with increasing water vapor mass by vaporization latent heat and specific heat, however, the difference was very small. So, the spray tip penetration was not different by water vapor mass. Also, higher equivalence ratio distributions were observed with increasing water vapor mass by the improvement of fuel atomization.

A cryogenic liquid stored in the closed cryogenic tank has been studied at various liquid levels. The change of pressure, temperature, and liquid-vapor ratio in the tank depended on the liquid levels. The various phenomena were shown at different liquid levels as follows: (1) liquid level was increased with condensation of vapor: (2) liquid was vaporized in spite of liquid level going up for a certain initial period and then condensation of vapor occurred at higher pressure; (3) liquid was vaporized without liquid level change; (4) liquid was vaporized with liquid level decreasing. If the tank is full with cryogenic liquid, it is extremely dangerous because of soaring the pressure. Therefore the tank must be filled with $90\%$ liquid according to the safety rules. If the tank was filled with $0\%$ ullage, the pressure increment as high as 80bar during first 5 days. With $90\%$ liquid level, however, the pressure was increased as low as 1.5bar in the same period. No matter what the liquid level is, it is very dangerous if the tank is locked-up with filled cryogenic liquid for a long time.

The ferroelectric SBT films were deposited on Pt/Ti/SiO$_2$/Si substrates by liquid injection metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) with single-mixture solution of Sr[Ta(OEt)$_5$(dmae)]$_2$and Bi(C$_6$ 6/H$_5$)$_3$. The Sr/Ta and Bi/Ta ratio in SBT films depended on deposition temperature and mol ratio of precursor in the single-mixture solution. At the substrate temperature of 40$0^{\circ}C$, Sr/Ta and Bi/Ta ratio were close to 0.4 and 1 at precursor mol ratio of 0.5~1.0, respectively. As-deposited film was amorphous. However, after annealing at 75$0^{\circ}C$ for 30 min in oxygen atmosphere, the diffraction patterns indicated polycrystalline SBT phase. The remanent polarization (Pr) and coercive field (Ec) of SBT film annealed at 75$0^{\circ}C$ were 4.7$\mu$C/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and 115.7kV/cm at an applied voltage of 5V, respectively. The SBT films annealed at 75$0^{\circ}C$ showed practically no polarization fatigue up to 10$^10$ switching cycles.
