Most of the research on a group decision support system [GDSS] has focused on directly examining its effect on the decision outcomes. Under this research framework, however, the role of group interaction process is largely ignored. This study focuses on the effect of the group interaction process on decision-making performance when a GDSS is used as the only medium for group interaction. Specifically, this study sought to determine whether significant relationships exist between the quality of the decision and the decision functions, contingent phases, and different decision paths. Natural interaction processes of decision -making groups was simulated in an experimental setting in which volunteer subjects from several business classes were assigned to dispersed three-person groups undertook the experimental task via a decision network. A baseline GDSS was developed for this setting. The results of this study confirmed earlier studies in a non - GDSS setting to suggest significant effects of decision functions and contingent phases on the quality of decision but no significant relationship between decision path and the quality of group decision.

Characteristics of two-phase flow and heat transfer were numerically investigated in a submerged gas injection system when temperature of the injected gas was different from that of the liquid. The Eulerian approach was used for both the continuous and dispersed phases. The turbulence in the liquid phase was modeled using the standard $k-\varepsilon$$\varepsilon$ turbulence model. The interphase friction and heat transfer coefficient were calculated from the correlations available in the literature. The turbulent dispersion of the phases was modeled by a "dispersion Prandtl number". In the case with heat transfer where the temperature of the injected gas is higher than the mean liquid temperature, the axial and the radial velocities are lower in comparison with the case of homogeneous temperatures. The results in the present research are of interest in the design and operation of a wide variety of material and chemical processes.

In this research, we investigated the effects of reduction atmospheres on the creation of the Mo-Si-B intermetallic compounds (IMC) during the heat treatments. For outstanding anti-oxidation and elevated mechanical strength at the ultrahigh temperature, we fabricated the uniformly dispersed IMC powders such as Mo₅SiB₂ (T2) and Mo₃Si (A15) phases using the two steps of chemical reactions. Especially, in the second procedure, we studied the influence of the atmospheres (e.g. vacuum, argon, and hydrogen) on the synthesis of IMCs during the reduction. Furthermore, the newly produced IMCs were observed by SEM, XRD, and EDS to identify the phase of the compounds. We also calculated an amount of IMCs in the reduced powders depending on the atmosphere using the Reitveld refinement method. Consequently, it is found that hydrogen atmosphere was suitable for fabrication of IMC without other IMC phases.

The flow fields in Gas Bubble Driven Circulation Systems were numerically analyzed. In various gas flow rate and bubble size, the flow characteristics were predicted. Eulerian-Eulerian approach was used for the formulation of both the continuous and dispersed phases. The modification of the general purpose computer program PHOENICS code was employed to predict the mean flow fields, turbulent characteristics, gas dispersion, volume fraction. The predicted shows very satisfactory agreement with experimental results for all regions of ladle. The results are of interest in the design and operation of wide variety of material processing.

직경이 0.102 m이고 높이가 2.5 m인 유동층 액-액 추출기에서 액적의 크기와 분포 그리고 상승속도의 특성에 대하여 연구하였다. 분산상(0~0.04 m/s)과 연속상(0.02~0.14 m/s)의 유속변화, 그리고 유동고체 입자의 크기변화(1.0, 2.1, 3.1, 6.0 nm)에 따른 액적의 특성을 검토하였다. 액적의 흐름 거동은 추출기 내부에서 액적의 흐름 거동은 분산상과 연속상의 증가와 액적의 크기에 따라 상당히 영향을 받았다. 액적의 크기는 분산상의 속도가 증가함에 따라 증가하였지만, 유동입자의 크기가 증가함에 따라 따라서는 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 그러나 연속상의 유속이 증가함에 따른 액적의 크기는 국부적인 최대값을 나타낸 후 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 액적의 크기와 상승속도는 실험변수들과 잘 상관됨을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 폴리프로필렌/아이오노머/클레이 삼상 복합체에서 클레이의 분산 및 위치에 따른 복합체의 구조변화와 물성을 연구하였다. 폴리프로필렌 90 wt%, 아이오노머 10 wt%의 블렌드에 클레이를 0~10 wt% 첨가하면서 물성변화를 관찰하였다. 클레이 함량 3%이하의 복합체에서 클레이는 아이오노머 상의 내부에 존재하는 반면, 클레이 함량이 증가하면서 분산상에 클레이가 채워져 견고한 구조가 형성되며 추가적인 클레이는 계면에 존재하게 된다. 이에 따라 계면에서의 상호작용은 폴리프로필렌과 아이오노머로부터 폴리프로필렌-클레이와 아이오노머-클레이의 상호작용으로 변화하며 이에 따라 미세구조 및 유변물성이 변화한다. 복합체의 저장 모듈러스(G')는 클레이가 분산상의 내부에 존재할 때는 거의 영향을 받지 않지만 클레이가 계면에 위치하면서부터 크게 증가한다. 또한 파단면의 모폴로지 역시 클레이가 복합체의 내부에만 존재할 경우에는 분산상의 상 경계가 뚜렷하게 관찰되고 분산상의 크기가 증가하지만, 클레이가 계면에 위치할 때는 분산상의 크기가 줄어들고 파단면의 모폴로지 역시 상의 경계가 뚜렷하게 관찰되지 않는 상용화된 모폴로지를 보인다. 우리는 복합체의 유변물성의 변화를 통하여 분산상 내부구조의 변화에 따른 클레이의 위치변화와 계면에서의 상호작용의 변화를 정량화 하였다. 또한 고체상태에서의 계면 접착량 측정을 통하여 계면에서의 상호작용의 증가함에 따라 접착력이 증가하고, 미세구조상 클레이 입자가 계면에 존재할 때 결정화도가 낮아짐을 확인하였다.

Liquid crystalline phases were formed from acylglutamate; polyglyceryl-10 myristate and glycerine mixture and they were used as a base material for preparing an O/W emulsion. When an oil phase is added into the liquid crystalline phases, it was inserted into the dispersed liquid crystal droplets rather than stayed outside the liquid crystals, which can be known by the fact that the size of liquid crystal droplets increases with the increasing oil phase content. Along with the increase in the droplet size, the complex modulus increases from 100 to 350 pascals and the loss angle decreases from 60 to 24 degrees, from which it can be known that the increase in the internal phase volume results in the increase in the elastic property of oil in liquid crystalline-phases (O/LC). When the water phase was lastly added into the O/LC phase, the emulsification occurred to form a O/W emulsion and the averaged particle size of the O/W emulsion changes from 22.5nm to 538nm with the addition of water phase. The results from the droplet size measurements and stability tests under accelerated conditions such as high temperature show that the obtained O/W emulsion is very consistent with time.

An optimum route to fabricate the ferrous alloy dispersed $Al_2O_3$ nanocomposites such as $Al_2O_3$/Fe-Ni and $Al_2O_3$/Fe-Co with sound microstructure and desired properties was investigated. The composites were fabricated by the sintering of powder mixtures of $Al_2O_3$ and nano-sized ferrous alloy, in which the alloy was prepared by solution-chemistry routes using metal nitrates powders and a subsequent hydorgen reduction process. Microstructural observation of reduced powder mixture revealed that the Fe-Ni or Fe-Co alloy particles of about 20 nm in size homogeneously surrounded $Al_2O_3$, forming nanocomposite powder. The sintered $Al_2O_3$/Fe-Ni composite showed the formation of Fe$Al_2O_4$ phase, while the reaction phases were not observed in $Al_2O_3$/Fe-Co composite. Hot-pressed $Al_2O_3$/Fe-Ni composite showed improved mechanical properties and magnetic response. The properties are discussed in terms of microstructural characteristics such as the distribution and size of alloy particles.

SBR latex, polyurethane latex and epoxy latex were mixed with polyvinyl acetate emulsion in 0~15% (wt.%). For the mixtures, the viscous properties were examined. The viscosity was influenced by the dispersed phase and the chain structures of polymer, and decreased with the rising of temperatures. The viscosity was increased with mixing of epoxy latex, but decreased with addition of SBR latex or polyurethane latex. Thixotropic index was influenced on the size of micelle and hydrogen bond. The thixotropic index was increased with mixing of epoxy latex or polyurethane latex within 5%, but keep up equality over that. The thixotropic index was decreased with mixing of SBR latex within 5%, but keep up equality over that. The relative viscosity were influenced on the activity of molecule and the interference of dispersed phases, was increased with the rising of temperatures. The relative viscosity was decreased with mixing of epoxy latex, but increased with mixing of SBR latex or polyurethane latex.

Silicon carbides with self-reinforced microstructure which hore a small grain matrix and dispersed large grains with rod-like type were prepared by the liquid-phase sintering and the control of starting phases of raw materials. The specimens with self-reinforced microstructure could be obtained from the compacts with mixed compositions of $\alpha$-SiC and 10-50 % $\beta$-SiC powders and by the pressureless sintering at 185$0^{\circ}C$ for 5h. Large grains with rod or plate-like types were 4H-SiC and small grains with equi-axed type were 6H-SiC. Fracture grains with rod or plate-like types were 4h-SiC and small grains with equi-axed type were 6H-SiC. Fracture toughness of specimens with self-reinforced microstructure was increased by the crack deflection and formation of microcracking due to the existence of rod-like large grains during crack propagation.
