The effect of size and volume fraction of ceramic particles, with sliding velocity on the wear properties were investigated for the metal matrix composites fabricated by the pressureless infiltration process. The metal matrix composites exhibited about 5.5 - 6 times the wear resistance compared with AC8A alloy at high sliding velocity, and by increasing the particle size and decreasing the volume fraction, the wear resistance was improved. The wear resistance of metal matrix composites and AC8A alloy exhibited different aspects. Wear loss of AC8A alloy increased with sliding velocity, linearly : whereas, metal matrix composites indicated more wear loss than AC8A alloy at the slow velocity region. However, a transition point of wear loss was found at the middle velocity region, which shows the minimum wear loss. Further, wear loss at the high velocity region exhibited nearly the same value as the slow velocity region. In terms of wear mechanism, the metal matrix composites generally exhibited abrasive wear at slow to high sliding velocity； however, AC8A alloy showed abrasive wear at low sliding velocity and adhesive and melt wear at high sliding velocity.

Industry- or regulatory-sponsored research activities on the resolution of Generic Safety Issue (GSI)-191 were reviewed, especially on the chemical effects. Potential chemical effects on the head loss across the debris-loaded sump strainer under a post-accident condition were experimentally evidenced by small-scale bench tests, integrated chemical effects test (ICET), and vertical loop head loss tests. Three main chemical precipitates were identified by WCAP-16530-NP: calcium phosphate, aluminum oxyhydroxide, and sodium aluminum silicate. The former two precipitates were also identified as major chemical precipitates by the ICETs. The assumption that all released calcium would form precipitates is reasonable. CalSil insulation needs to be minimized especially in a plant using trisodium phosphate buffer. The assumption that all released aluminum would form precipitates appears highly conservative because ICETs and other studies suggest substantial solubility of aluminum at high temperature and inhibition of aluminum corrosion by silicate or phosphate. The industry-proposed chemical surrogates are quite effective in increasing the head loss across the debris-loaded bed and more effective than the prototypical aluminum hydroxide precipitates generated by in-situ aluminum corrosion. There appears to be some unresolved potential issues related to GSI-191 chemical effects as identified in NUREG/CR-6988. The United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, however, concluded that the implications of these issues are either not generically significant or are appropriately addressed, although several issues associated with downstream in-vessel effects remain.

나노 및 마이크로 크기의 철(Fe), 마그네타이트($Fe_3O_4$) 및 니켈(Ni) 입자가 분산된 열가소성 폴리우레탄(TPU) 접착필름에서 각 금속의 크기 및 형상 그리고 피착재의 종류에 따른 접착필름의 유도가열 거동을 연구하였다. 연구결과 동일한 첨가량 및 유사한 입자 크기에서 철과 니켈이 분산된 열가소성 TPU 접착필름에 비해 마그네타이트가 분산된 TPU 접착필름의 발열이 높게 나타났다. 철과 니켈의 입자 크기가 자기장의 표면 침투 깊이(Penetration skin depth) 보다 클 경우 와전류에 의한 발열로 인해 입자 크기가 커질수록 초기 승온속도와 최고 온도가 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 서로 다른 형태를 갖는 니켈 입자를 사용한 유도가열 실험 결과 편상(flake)의 입자가 TPU 접착필름에 분산되었을 때 자기이력(Magnetic hysteresis)에 의한 열 발생으로 가장 높은 발열이 나타남을 알 수 있었다. 또한 금속 입자가 분산된 TPU 접착필름이 서로 다른 피착재에 적용되었을 때 발열현상이 상이하게 나타났으며 피착재의 열전도도에 따른 결과를 확인하였다.

임동 유역은 지질 및 토지피복 상태가 토사유실에 취약한 특성을 가지고 있어, 강우발생시 토사유입으로 호소내 수질오염에 큰 영향을 주고 있으며, 특히 이러한 호소내 수질문제의 원인으로 저수지 사변의 토사유실 가능성이 제기되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 저수지 사면에서 발생하는 토사유실 기여율을 평가하기 위해 최근 GIS 및 위성영상과의 연계가 가능한 RUSLE 모형을 선정하였으며 사면에서 발생하는 토사유실 정확도에 큰 영향을 주는 사연의 범위와 폭 그리고 사면상태를 DB로 구축하기 위해 현지조사를 실시하였다. 임동유역에 대한 토사유실량과 비교하여 저수지 사면에서 발생하는 토사유실량과의 영향을 분석한 결과 약 2.64%로 나타났다. 따라서 이러한 결과를 볼 때, 임동 유역의 토사유실량에 비해 저수지 사면의 토사유실 영향은 상대적으로 낮은 것으로 평가되었다.

Advancements in the technology of building materials has led to diverse applications of nanomaterials with the aim to monitor concrete structures. While there are myriad instances of the use of nanoparticles in building materials, the production of smart nano cement-composites is often expensive. Thereupon, this research aims to discover a sustainable nanomaterial from tyre waste using the pyrolysis process as part of the green manufacturing circle. Here, Nano Structure Tyre-Char (NSTC) is introduced as a zero-dimension carbon-based nanoparticle. The NSTC particles were characterized using various standard characterization techniques. Several salient results for the NSTC particles were obtained using microscopic and spectroscopic techniques. The size of the particles as well as that of the agglomerates were reduced significantly using the milling process and the results were validated through a scanning electron microscope. The crystallite size and crystallinity were found to be ~35nm and 10.42%, respectively. The direct bandgap value of 5.93eV and good optical conductivity at 786 nm were obtained from the ultra violet visible spectroscopy measurements. The thermal analysis reveals the presence of a substantial amount of carbon, the rate of maximum weight loss, and the two stages of phase transformation. The FT-Raman confirms the presence of carboxyl groups and a ID/IG ratio of 0.83. Water contact angle around 140° on the surface implies the highly hydrophobic nature of the material and its low surface energy. This characteristic process assists to obtain a sustainable nanomaterial from waste tyres, contributing to the development of a smart building material.

Zinc consumption in a continuous galvanizing line is one of the highest operating cost items in the facility and minimizing zinc waste is a key economic objective for any operation. One of the primary sources of excessive loss of zinc is through the formation of top dross and skimmings in the coating pot. It has been reported that the top skimmings, manually removed from the bath, typically consist of more than 80% metallic zinc with the remainder being entrained dross particles ($Fe_2Al_5$) along with some oxides. Depending on the drossing practices and bath management, the composition of the removed top skimmings may contain up to 2 wt% aluminum and 1 wt% iron. On-going research efforts have been aimed at in-house recovery of the metallic zinc from the discarded top skimmings prior to selling to zinc recycling brokers. However, attempting to recover the zinc entrapped in the skimmings is difficult due to the complex nature of the intermetallic dross particles and the quality and volume of the recycled zinc is highly susceptible to fluctuations in processing parameters. As such, an efficient method to extract metallic zinc from top skimmings has been optimized through the use of a specialized thermo-mechanical process enabling a continuous galvanizing facility to conserve zinc usage on-site. Also, through this work, it has been identified that filtration of discrete dross particles has been proven effective at maintaining the cleanliness of the zinc. Future efforts may progress towards expanded utilization of filters in continuous galvanizing.

고순도의 CHMI 입자를 제조하는 공정을 개발하기 위해서, CHMAIE로부터 CHMI를 합성하고 정제한 후 형상화하는 공정 전반에 대한 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. CHMI 합성에 있어서는 n-헵탄 환류 이미드화 반응이 톨루엔 put-out 이미드화 반응보다 CHMI의 평형 전화율이 높을 뿐 아니라, CHMI의 석출공정에도 유리한 것으로 나타났다. 합성된 CHMI를 n-헵탄으로 2회 세척하면 11.7%의 무게 감소율이 발생하지만, 99.7%의 고순도 CHMI를 얻을 수 있었다. CHMI 입자의 제조에서는 3 mm 나선형 노즐을 통하여 $1.5{\sim}2.0kg/cm^2$의 압력으로 CHMI 용융액을 토출시키면 가장 효과적으로 CHMI 입자를 제조할 수 있었다.

Electrochemical characterization was conducted on poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)-ceramic composite (PVA-CC) separators for supercapacitor applications. The PVA-CC separators were fabricated by mixing various ceramic particles including aluminum oxide ($Al_2O_3$), silicon dioxide ($SiO_2$), and titanium dioxide ($TiO_2$) into a PVA aqueous solution. These ceramic particles help to create amorphous regions in the crystalline structure of the polymer matrix to increase the ionic conductivity of PVA. Supercapacitors were assembled using PVA-CC separators with symmetric activated carbon electrodes and electrochemical characterization showed enhanced specific capacitance, rate capability, cycle life, and ionic conductivity. Supercapacitors using the $PVA-TiO_2$ composite separator showed particularly good electrochemical performance with a 14.4% specific capacitance increase over supercapacitors using the bare PVA separator after 1000 cycles. With regards to safety, PVA becomes plasticized when immersed in 6 M KOH aqueous solution, thus there was no appreciable loss in tear resistance when the ceramic particles were added to PVA. Thus, the enhanced electrochemical properties can be attained without reduction in safety making the addition of ceramic nanoparticles to PVA separators a cost-effective strategy for increasing the ionic conductivity of separator materials for supercapacitor applications.

The paper deals with the proper design of GGH(gas-gas heater) panel elements of desulfurization equipments in a thermoelectric power plant. When fossil fuels such as coal, petroleum et cetera are burnt to ashes, sulfur oxide compounds are produced, and calcareous sludges are deposited at GGH panel elements. In this case, operation of a power plant equipments is interrupted, and a tremendous economic loss comes into existence. One of the purposes of the paper is to find flow velocity distributions and regions of depositions when calcareous sludges pile up on the GGH panel elements through the fluid analysis. In the fluid analysis, flow velocity and position distributions of particles between GGH panel elements are demonstrated according to time variation for ammonia and calcium hydroxide particles.
