To control the coating thickness of zinc in the process of continuous hot-dip galvanizing, it is known from early days that the gas wiping through an air knife system is the most effective because of the obtainable of uniformity of coating thickness, possibility of thin coating, working ability in high speed and simplicity of control. But, the gas wiping using in the galvanizing process brings about a problem of splashing from the strip edge for a certain high speed of coating. Also, it is known that the problem of splashing directly depends upon the galvanizing speed and nozzle stagnation pressure. In theses connections, in the present study, we proposed two kinds of air knife systems having the same expansion rate of nozzle, and the jet structures and coating thicknesses from a conventional and new proposed nozzles are compared. In numerical analysis, the governing equations consisted of two-dimensional time dependent Navier-Stokes equations, standard k-e turbulence model to solve turbulence stress and so on are employed. As a result, it is found that it had better to use the constant rate nozzle from the point view of the energy saving to obtain the same coating thickness. Also, to enhance the cutting ability at the strip, it is advisable to use an air knife with the constant expansion rate nozzle.

Air wiping technique is widely used because of easy and efficient coating control in present CGL The coating weight is controlled by nozzle header pressure. strip line speed, and the distance between strip and nozzle. Coating defects are resulted from the unbalance of these control factors and the inaccuracy of coating equipments. We investigates the main cause of coating defects, such as edge overcoating and coating deviation through various experiments. It is found that the edge overcoating is mainly come from nozzle lip type, and the coating deviation is caused by the unbalance of dynamic pressure.

A new air knife system for coating thickness control in hot dip galvanizing process had been developed and installed on the CGL in Pohang Steel Works, POSCO. This new system consists of air knives with remotely adjustable nozzle slot and an automatic control system which can control both longitudinal and traverse coating deviations. Based on the optimal control algorithm, a traverse coating deviation control was designed. The controller controls the lip profile of the air knives with flexible structure according to the deviation of coating weight. From the measured values which are dependent on the strip width, the lip gaps are calculated with optimal algorithm and the model of the coating deviation. Time delay between knives and a coating thickness gauge is solved by the Smith Predictor.

This paper reviews a basic data of the surface discharge characteristics for tefton resin in not only pure $N_2$, $N_2:O_2$(80[%]:20[%], I-Air) and $N_2:O_2$(60[%]:40[%]) mixture gas as environment-friendly insulation Gas also $SF_6$. Used electrodes are Knife to Knife. With the changing distance of electrodes and pressure, we can find it, surface discharge voltages and surface dielectric strengths, respectively. Surface discharge Voltages of I-Air are more higher than the other $N_2/O_2$ mixture gases. Moreover, we can obtain that the surface dielectric strengths of $SF_6$ are two times about I-Air, approximately.

In this paper describes the comparisons of the surface flashover characteristics according to the change of the insulation media by experimental GIS(Gas Insulated Switchgear) chamber in accordance with change of pressure(P) and electrode distance(d). The using insulation medias are $SF_6$, Dry-Air, I-Air(Imitation Air, $N_2$ : $O_2$ = 79[%] : 21[%]), $N_2:O_2$ mixture gas and pure $N_2$. In this study, in order to compare the properties $SF_6$ and order insulation gas, we investigated the properties of the various insulation media with a knife to knife electrode under ac high voltage application. The gas pressure was changed from 1 to 5[atm]. as a result, it was found that dielectric strength is $SF_6$ > I-Air > Dry-Air and the best environmental preservation gas is Dry-Air.

This paper deals with developmeant and application of coating thickness control system in hot dip galvanizing process. According to the line conditions, such as line speed, strip size and target coating weight, a predictive preset model sets the initial oprating conditions. Referring the zine coating informations from the gauge, mean coating value controller adjusts the chamber pressure and horizontal distance between strip and air knife, while coating deviation controller adjusts the lip gap profile of the air knife. All adaptive gains are interactively calculated by numeric models based on the theoretical analysis. The operating result with this system effectively reduces the coating deviation in transverse direction as well as in longitudinal direction.

Hemp bast pulp cooked at temperature below $100^{\circ}C$ followed by defibration by the knife and the valley beater, respectively was mixed with softwood pulp varying the amount of hemp pulp in order to find the optimum condition for making hemp-wood paper. Both the knife and the valley beaters contributed to the dispersion of pulp fiber well. Lots of shives were found when the knife beater was applied exclusively, but the fibers were dispersed well when freeness dropped to 600 mL CSF and 500 mL CSF by the valley beater. Air resistance decreased drastically below 500 mL CSF where rapid disrupture of pulp fiber occurred. As the values for freeness and hemp fiber content increased, so did roughness and bulk. It was apparent that the tear strength of hemp-wood paper was on the rise drastically as hemp fiber content increased. Nevertheless the optimum hemp fiber content of hemp-wood paper would be 20% considering the decrease in both tensile and burst strengths as well as sheet formation.

This paper reports solution-processed, high-efficiency organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) fabricated by a knife coating method under ambient air conditions. In addition, indium tin oxide (ITO), traditionally used as the anode, was substituted by optimizing the conductivity enhancement treatment of poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) films on a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate. The transmittance and sheet resistance of the optimized PEDOT:PSS anode were 83.4% and $27.8{\Omega}/sq$., respectively. The root mean square surface roughness of the PEDOT:PSS anode, measured by atomic force microscopy, was only 2.95 nm. The optimized OLED device showed a maximum current efficiency and maximum luminous density of 5.44 cd/A and $8,356cd/m^2$, respectively. As a result, the OLEDs created using the PEDOT:PSS anode possessed highly comparable characteristics to those created using ITO anodes.

In the gas wiping process of continuous hot-dip galvanizing, edge overcoating develops near the edge of the steel strip. The overcoating is supposed to occur due to the reduced impact pressure of wiping gas on the strip surface. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of edge vortex on the reduced impact pressure. Three-dimensional unsteady flows are simulated using a commercial code, STAR-CD. Standard k-$\varepsilon$ model is used as a turbulence model. It is found that an alternating vortex structure in the vicinity of strip edge is developed by buckling of opposed jet streams and that the reduced amount of impact pressure at strip edge becomes smaller as the air knife gets closer to the strip. The effect of edge baffle on the reduced impact pressure is also investigated.

This thesis researched for the conservation of a suit of armor, one glove, one belt, and on knife case that General Jung, Gong-chung had been worn in the early 17 th centuries. The armor was Doojung-kab for the battle. It was made of two kinds of fabrics, one of them was silk satin's outer fabrics, the other was quilt4d cotton's lining. as the armor was made of silk and cotton, it was treated by dry solvents and dry soap. In the dry cleaning method, used solvents were n-hexane, cyclohexane, benzene, and n-decane. the volume ratio of dry soap was 120: 1. The reaction temperature was 30℃, and reaction time was 10 to 30 minutes per one turn. The glove, belt and knife case were made with leather. They were dipped on the polyethyleneglycol 150 saturated solution during 24hours at 50℃ and then dried naturally. They were washed by toluene to remove the untreated pp.E.G. on the surfaces. It was sterilized by two gases of methylenebromide and ethyleneoxied. For the conservation, it was packed thoroughly by ？ polyethylene film sheet without air.
