The air gap membrane distillation (AGMD) process was applied for water desalination. The main objective of the present work was to study the heat and mass transfer mechanism of the process. The experiments were performed on a flat sheet module using aqueous NaCl solutions as a feed. The membrane employed was hydrophobic PTFE of pore size 0.22 ${\mu}m$. A mathematical model is proposed to evaluate the membrane mass transfer coefficient, thermal boundary layers' heat transfer coefficients, membrane / liquid interface temperatures and the temperature polarization coefficients. The mass transfer model was validated by the experimentally and fitted well with the combined Knudsen and molecular diffusion mechanism. The mass transfer coefficient increased with an increase in feed bulk temperature. The experimental parameters such as, feed temperature, 313 to 333 K, feed velocity, 0.8 to 1.8 m/s (turbulent flow region) were analyzed. The permeation fluxes increased with feed temperature and velocity. The effect of feed bulk temperature on the boundary layers' heat transfer coefficients was shown and fairly discussed. The temperature polarization coefficient increased with feed velocity and decreased with temperature. The values obtained were 0.56 to 0.82, indicating the effective heat transfer of the system. The fouling was observed during the 90 h experimental run in the application of natural ground water and seawater. The time dependent fouling resistance can be added in the total transport resistance.

The novelty of this study resides in the fabrication of stoichiometric and stress-reduced $Si_3N_4/SiO_2/Si_3N_4$ triple-layer membrane sieves. The membrane sieves were designed to be very flat and thin, mechanically stress-reduced, and stable in their electrical and chemical properties. All insulating materials are deposited stoichiometrically by a low-pressure chemical vapor deposition system. The membranes with a thickness of 0.4 ${\mu}m$ have pores with a diameter of about 1 ${\mu}m$. The device is fabricated on a 6" silicon wafer with the semiconductor processes. We utilized the membrane sieves for plasma separations from human whole blood. To enhance the separation ability of blood plasma, an agarose gel matrix was attached to the membrane sieves. We could separate about 1 ${\mu}L$ of blood plasma from 5 ${\mu}L$ of human whole blood. Our device can be used in the cell-based biosensors or analysis systems in analytical chemistry.

호기성 미생물 고정화를 위해 새로 개발한 평판형막 생물 반응기(FMBR)을 개발하여Aspergillus niger (KCTC 1232)로부터의 구연산 생산을 연구하였다. 반응기는 삼단으로 구성되어 있으며 상층부에는 산소 공급을 위한 공기흐름이 있고 주층부에는 미생물이 고정화되어 있으며 하층부에는 배지가 연속적으로 공급된다. 배지의 초기 pH는 구연산 생성에 있어서 중요한 영향을 미치며 pH가 낮을수록 구연산 생산수율이 높았다. 산소원으로 공기와 순수산소를 이용하여 생산성은 각각0.20, 0.40h/Lh에 달하였다. EH한 배지의 공급속도가 높을수록 생산성이 어느 정도 증가함을 알 수 있었다.

This paper deals with the problems and their possible solutions in the development of finite element for analysis of shell. Based on these solution schemes, a series of flat shell elements are established which show no signs of membrane locking and other defects even though the coarse meshes are used. In the element formulation, non-conforming displacement modes are extensively used for improvement of element behaviors. A number of numerical tests are performed to prove the validity of the solutions to the problems involved in establishing a series of high performance flat shell elements. The test results reveal among others that the high accuracy and fast convergence characteristics of the elements are obtainable by the use of various non-conforming modes and that the ‘Direct Modification Method’ is a very useful tool for non-conforming elements to pass the patch tests. Furthermore, hierarchical and higher order non-conforming modes are proved to be very efficient not only to make an element insensitive to the mesh distortion but also to remove the membrane locking. Some numerical examples are solved to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the presented elements to practical engineering shell problems.

We develop a new four-node flat shell element which is accurate, efficient, and suitable to be used on general purpose. The new element has a hybrid Trefftz element with drilling degrees of freedom as a membrane part. We define the two independent displacement field: the internal displacement field that satisfies governing equations in the domain a priori and the boundary displacement field that is usually used as a conventional finite element method. The hybrid Trefftz variational formulation connects these two displacement fields on the boundary of the domain. To add drilling degrees of freedom, we introduce the Allman's quadratic displacement field to the boundary displacement field. As a result, our flat shell element has 6 degrees of freedom per a node. We also use the well-known DKMQ plate bending element for the plate part of the proposed element. The DKMQ element satisfies Mindlin-Reissner‘s plate theory along the edge of the element and gives proper behavior regardless of the thickness. A series of numerical experiments shows that the performance of the new element such as accuracy, rate of convergence, robustness to mesh quality, and so on.

Poly(phenylene oxide)s were used to prepare flat, integrally skinned self-supporthed asymmetric membranes by dry-wet phase separption. The intrinsic ideal gas selectivity of poly- (2,6-dimethy-1,4-phenylene oxide) (PMPO) was retained in the membranes, and improved by a coating with silicone rubber. Polymers of the same class were coated of UF supports with a silicon rubber gutter layer, yielding composite membranes with high flux but lower selectivity. The effect of th glutaraldehyde cross-linking of sodium alginate (SA) membranes on the mobility of water and ethanol has been studied with pfg nmr. Crosslinking reduces water self-diffusion, and does not seem to be stable on the timescale of weeks.

Brackish water desalination using reverse osmosis(RO) membrane is more useful and economic than sea water to solve the shortage of fresh water supply because of its low total dissolved solid(TDS) contents. Silica and humic acid in brackish water make serious fouling problems and cause the decline of permeate flux and increase of operating pressure. In this study, the experiments for removal of silica and humic acid were conducted with calcite particles to prevent membrane fouling and investigated the effect of pH of feed water Adsorption of silica to calcite was higher at pH=7.5 than 9.5 and removal rate was increased according to increase of initial concentration of silica. The effect of pH on adsorption of humic acid was not significant but at low initial concentration the adsorption of humic acid was enhanced at pH 7.5. The result of this study expect to apply to brackish water desalination experiment of flat-sheet reverse osmosis membrane.

본 연구에서는 연료전지용 강화 복합막 지지체 제조를 위해 높은 다공성을 가지는 PVdF 평막을 제조하였다. 높은 다공도로 인한 낮은 기계적 강도를 보완하기 위한 방법으로 나노 사이즈의 laponite를 막 내에 분산시켰다. 제조된 PVdF/Laponite 복합막의 모폴로지 및 다공도는 SEM 분석 및 무게 중량법을 사용하여 평가하였고, 60% 이상의 다공도를 보였다. 첨가된 laponite 함량에 따른 막의 열적 안정성은 $105^{\circ}C$, $135^{\circ}C$에서의 수축률을 이용하여 평가하였으며, laponite 함량이 5%일 때 $135^{\circ}C$에서 MD와 TD방향으로의 열 수축률 2~3%와 2~3.5%를 나타내었다. Laponite 첨가 후 막의 기계적 강도가 향상되었으며, 순수 PVdF 막에 비해 약 30%의 모듈러스 증가를 나타내었다.
