A sequence of visually experimental observations was conducted to investigate the flow boiling and two-phase flow in a coiled tube. Different boiling modes and bubble dynamical evolutions were identified for better recognizing the phenomena and understanding the two-phase flow evolution and heat transfer mechanisms. The dissolved gases and remained vapor would serve as foreign nucleation sites, and together with the effect of buoyancy, centrifugal force and liquid flow, these also induce very different flow boiling nucleation, boiling modes, bubble dynamical behavior, and further the boiling heat transfer performance. Bubbly flow, plug flow, slug flow, stratified/wavy flow and annular flow were observed during the boiling process in the coiled tube. Particularly the effects of flow reconstructing and thermal non-equilibrium release in the bends were noted and discussed with the physical understanding. Coupled with the effects of the buoyancy, centrifugal force and inertia or momentum ratio of the two fluids, the flow reconstructing and thermal non-equilibrium release effects have critical importance for flow pattern in the bends and flow evolution in next straight sections.

Many countries are striving to reduce carbon emissions with the goal of net zero by 2050. Accordingly, vehicles are rapidly being electrified to reduce greenhouse gases in the transportation sector. However, many organizations predict that internal combustion engines of LDV (light-duty vehicle) will exist even in 2050, and it is difficult to electrify aircraft and large ships in a short time. Therefore, synthetic fuel (i.e., e-Fuel) that can reduce carbon emissions and replace existing fossil fuels is in the spotlight. The e-Fuel refers to a fuel synthesized by using carbon obtained through various carbon capture technologies and green hydrogen produced by eco-friendly renewable energy. The purpose of this study is to compare and analyze the injection and spray characteristics of the simulated e-Gasoline. We mixed the hydrocarbon fuel components according to the composition ratio of the synthetic fuel produced based on the FT(Fischer-Tropsch) process. As a result of injection rate measurement, simulated e-Gasoline showed no significant difference in injection delay and injection period compared to standard gasoline. However, due to the low vapor pressure of the simulated e-Gasoline, the spray tip penetration (STP) was lower, and the size of spray droplets was larger than that of traditional gasoline.

Membrane assisted condenser is an innovative membrane operation that exploits the hydrophobic nature of microporous membranes to promote water vapor condensation and recovery. It can be used for water and chemicals recovery from waste gaseous streams. In this work, the testing of membrane condenser for water and ammonia recovery from synthetic streams (i.e., a saturated air stream with ammonia) simulating the plume of cooling tower is illustrated. The modeling of the process was carried out for predicting the membrane-based process performance and for identifying the minimum operating conditions for effectively recovering liquid water. The experimental data were compared with the results achieved through the simulations showing good agreement and confirming the validity of the model. It was found that the recovery of water can be increased growing the temperature difference between the plume and the membrane module (DT), the relative humidity of the plume (RH^plume) and the feed flow rate on membrane area ratio. Moreover, the concentration of NH₃ in the recovered liquid water increased with the growing DT, at increasing NH₃ concentration in the fed gaseous stream and at growing relative humidity of the feed.

Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is regarded as an alternative fuel for spark ignition engine due to similar or even higher octane number. In addition, LPG has better fuel characteristics including high vaporization characteristic and low carbon/hydrogen ratio leading to a reduction in carbon dioxide emission. Recently, development of LPG direct injection system started to improve performance of vehicles fuelled with LPG. However, spray characteristics of LPG were not well understood, which is should be known to develop injector for LPG direct injection engines. In this study, effects of operation condition including ambient pressure, temperature, and injection pressure on spray properties of n-butane were evaluated and compared to gasoline in a multi-hole injector. As general characteristics of both fuels, spray penetration becomes smaller with an increase of ambient pressure as well as a reduction in the injection pressure. However, it is found that evaporation of n-butane was faster compared to gasoline under all experimental condition. As a result, spray penetration of n-butane was shorter than that of gasoline. This result was due to higher vapor pressure and lower boiling point of n-butane. On the other hand, spray angle of both fuels do not vary much except under high ambient temperature conditions. Furthermore, spray shape of n-butane spray becomes completely different from that of gasoline at high ambient temperature conditions due to flash boiling of n-butane.

Microprocessor technology now relies on copper for most of its electrical interconnections. Because of the high diffusivity of copper, Atomic layer deposition (ALD) $TaN_x$ is used as a diffusion barrier to prevent copper diffusion into the Si or $SiO_2$. Another problem with copper is that it has weak adhesion to most materials. Strong adhesion to copper is an essential characteristic for the new barrier layer because copper films prepared by electroplating peel off easily in the damascene process. Thus adhesion-enhancing layer of cobalt is placed between the $TaN_x$ and the copper. Because, cobalt has strong adhesion to the copper layer and possible seedless electro-plating of copper. Until now, metal film has generally been deposited by physical vapor deposition. However, one draw-back of this method is poor step coverage in applications of ultralarge-scale integration metallization technology. Metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) is a good approach to address this problem. In addition, the MOCVD method has several advantages, such as conformal coverage, uniform deposition over large substrate areas and less substrate damage. For this reasons, cobalt films have been studied using MOCVD and various metal-organic precursors. In this study, we used $C_{12}H_{10}O_6(Co)_2$ (dicobalt hexacarbonyl tert-butylacetylene, CCTBA) as a cobalt precursor because of its high vapor pressure and volatility, a liquid state and its excellent thermal stability under normal conditions. Furthermore, the cobalt film was also deposited at various $H_2/NH_3$ gas ratio(1, 1:1,2,6,8) producing pure cobalt thin films with excellent conformality. Compared to MOCVD cobalt using $H_2$ gas as a reactant, the cobalt thin film deposited by MOCVD using $H_2$ with $NH_3$ showed a low roughness, a low resistivity, and a low carbon impurity. It was found that Co/$TaN_x$ film can achieve a low resistivity of $90{\mu}{\Omega}-cm$, a low root-mean-square roughness of 0.97 nm at a growth temperature of $150^{\circ}C$ and a low carbon impurity of 4~6% carbon concentration.

Cylindrical parabolic solar concentrators of small concentration ratio are attractive options for working temperatures around $120^{\circ}C$. The heat gained can be utilized in many applications such as air conditioning, space heating, heating water and many others. These collectors can be easily manufactured and do not need to track the sun continuously. Using a heat pipe as a solar absorber makes the system more compact and easy to install. This study is devoted to modeling a system of cylindrical parabolic solar concentrators of small concentration ratio (around 5) fitted with a heat pipe absorber with a porous wick. The heat pipe is surrounded by evacuated glass tube to reduce thermal losses from the heat pipe. The liquid and vapor flow equations, energy equation, the internal and external boundary conditions were taken into consideration. The system of equations was solved and the numerical results were validated against available experimental and numerical results. The validated heat pipe model was inserted in an evacuated transparent glass tube as the absorber of the cylindrical parabolic collector. A calculation procedure was developed for the system, a computer program was developed and tested and numerical simulations were realized for the whole system. An experimental solar collector of small concentration, fitted with evacuated tube heat pipe absorber was constructed and instrumented. Experiments were realized with the concentrator axis along the E-W direction. Results of the instantaneous efficiency and heat gain were compared with numerical simulations realized under the same conditions and reasonably good agreement was found.

물의 $^{18}O/^{16}O$와 $^2H/H$ 조성을 레이저를 이용하여 분석하는 기술은 기존의 IRMS를 이용한 분석방식에 비해 간편한 시료 전처리, 쉬운 장비 유지보수와 현장에서도 응용이 가능하다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 현재 사용되는 레이저 방식을 이용한 물의 안정동위원소 분석은 분석원리에 따라 OA-ICOS(Off-Axis Integrated Cavity Output Spectroscopy)를 이용한 방식과 WS-CRDS(Wavelength-Scanned Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy)를 이용한 방식으로 구분된다. WS-CRDS 방식은 기화된 물 시료를 질소 가스를 이용해 광학 공동(optical cavity)로 이동시킨 후 특정 파장에서의 동위원소체가 가지고 있는 흡수도와 레이저를 투과시켜 광학 공동을 투과하여 나오는 레이저 신호의 감쇠시간의 비측정을 통해 수 ppb에서 수십 ppt까지의 감도로 물의 안정동위원소 조성이 측정 가능하다. 이 연구에서는 WS-CRDS 방식의 분석원리와실제 물시료를 활용하여 기기의 안정성과 동위원소비 질량분석기(Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry; IRMS) 방법과의 교차분석을 포함한 기기 성능평가 결과를 소개하고 수리학 분야에서 다양한 주제에 대한 적용 가능성을 제시하였다.

탈기기-저압드럼 일체형 배열회수보일러로 구성된 복합화력발전소에서 발생한 저압증기발생기의 튜브파손 사례를 관찰하였다. 수소이온농도 변화를 관찰한 결과 복수펌프 후단에 주입된 암모니아가 탈기기를 통과한 후 저압 드럼 내에서 암모니아 분배율에 따라 증기와 함께 다량의 암모니아가 소모되어 급수 내 수소이온농도 저하를 확인하였다. 이를 해결하기 위해 저압드럼 내에 암모니아를 직접 주입할 수 있도록 추가 주입위치를 선정하였으며 적정량의 암모니아 용액을 주입함으로써 보일러 급수의 최적 수소이온농도인 9.2~9.6 으로 조절이 가능하다는 결론을 얻었다.

본 논문에서는 아미노산염의 일종인 글리신산나트륨(sodium glycinate) 수용액을 이산화탄소(CO$_2$) 흡수제로 사용하여 이산화탄소 분리회수 특성평가 실험을 수행하였다. 흡수제와 이산화탄소의 기-액 흡수평형 실험을 통하여 흡수제 농도 20 wt%와 30 wt%에서 글리신산나트륨과 상용 흡수제인 MEA의 분압에 따른 몰부하비(mol loading ratio)를 측정하여 이산화탄소 흡수능을 평가하였다. 또한, 기-액 흡수평형 결과를 바탕으로 2 t-CO$_2$/day 용량의 파일럿플랜트 실험을 수행한 결과, 이산화탄소 탈거가 MEA에 비하여 용이하게 일어나지 않아 상대적으로 낮은 이산화탄소 제거율을 얻었다. 이는 글리신산나트륨 고유의 입체구조에 기인하는 것으로 판단된다. 본 논문은 이산화탄소 흡수제로 아미노산염 계열 흡수제를 이용하여 실제 공정에 적용한 우리나라 최초의 연구결과로서 아미노산염의 흡수제로서의 가능성 파악에 큰 의의가 있다고 할 수 있다.
