Formation and characteristics of spraying powder for BSCCO High-Tc superconductor prepared by plasma spray coating were investigated. The addition of 3% of binder gives the best flowability of the powder. Ball milling for 30h and 35h gives the best flowability of powder in the case of 2001 and 0212, respectively. The withdraw ratio increases upon binder addition from 12 to 27% in the case of 2001 and from 18 to 31% in the case of 0212 for sieving powder of $30-90{\mu}m$ in size. The built-up efficiency for $100{\mu}m$ thickness of spray coating is increased more than 30% by binder addition. The microstructure of the spray coated layers was investigated by XRD and EDS analysis.

Molybdenum flame spray coatings are widely used in industrial fields to enhance the performance of mechanical component parts such as pistons, shafts and clutches. This study investigates the surface characteristics of high tensile brass with molybdenum flame spray treatment using the clutch material for small ship. The surface characteristics after molybdenum flame spray treatment in high tensile brass were quantitatively analyzed for surface composition, coating layer thickness, friction coefficient, abrasion width and phenomenon, micro-hardness, and surface roughness.

Anti-reflection (AR) thin films were fabricated on a glass substrate by using an ultrasonic spray. Glycidoxypropyl trimethoxysilane (GPTMS) and tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) were used to synthesize a sol-gel hybrid coating solution. The moving speed of spray nozzle was changed from 15~25 mm/s to control the coating thickness of AR thin film. As the moving speed of spray nozzle increased, the thickness of AR thin film decreased from 138 nm to 86 nm. When the AR thin film was fabricated by nozzle moving speed of 20 mm/s, the refractive index and thickness of AR thin film was measured to be 1.31 and 104 nm, respectively. The average reflectance and transmittance of AR thin film coating glass was measured to be 0.75 % and 94 %, respectively into the visible light range of 380~780 nm.

Graphite crucibles are used for melting uranium and its alloys in VIM furnace. Various coating materials namely Al₂O₃, ZrO₂, MgO etc. are applied on the inner surface of the crucibles using paint brush or thermal spray technique to mitigate U-C interaction. These leads to significant amount of carbon pick-up in uranium. In this study, the attempts are made to develop multilayer coatings comprising of SiC/Y₂O₃ and Mo/Y₂O₃ on graphite to study the feasibility of minimizing U-C interaction. The parameters are optimized to prepare SiC coating of about 70㎛ thickness using CVD technique on graphite coupons and subsequently Y₂O₃ coating of about 250㎛ thickness using plasma spray technique. Molybdenum and Y₂O₃ layers were deposited using plasma spray technique with 70㎛ and 250㎛ thickness, respectively. Interaction studies of the coated graphite with molten uranium at 1450℃ for 20 min revealed that Y₂O₃ coating with SiC interlayer provides physical barrier for uranium-graphite interaction, however, this led to the physical separation of coating layer. Y₂O₃ coating with Mo interlayer provided superior barrier effect showing no degradation and the coatings remained intact after interaction tests. Therefore, the Mo/Y₂O₃ coating was found to be a promising solution for minimizing carbon pick-up during uranium/uranium alloy melting.

High strength concrete has been increasingly used in high rue building and it is very obvious re consider fire resistance performance of that. Unlike the normal strength concrete, high strength concrete in sudden elevating temperature at fire is susceptible to spalling with severe explosion and surface split, due to high density of concrete. In order to endure the spalling, inner space temperature of concrete should be control less than certain point. Therefore this study investigated the influence of covering materials on high strength concrete finishing spray-on materials of fiber composite spray mortar(FCSM). Both polypropylene(PP) and polyvinyl alcohol(PVA) fiber were used in this test. Test showed that concrete, covering 18mm mortar containing PVA fiber and confining metal lath 2.3mm thickness, decreased 50% of main bar ambient temperature. compared with control concrete. In addition, concrete covering 18mm mortar without fiber caused falling of covering materials and then it was exposed in elevating temperature. As a result, spatting of the concrete occurred same as control concrete. However, concrete covering spray-on mortar containing PVA or PP fiber resisted spatting occurrence.

This study has been done as a preliminary work in the process of confirming the modeling and calculation results on the dynamic characteristics of closed-type swirl injector which were performed by Ismailov et al. in Purdue university. Closed-type swirl injectors with replaceable swirl chamber parts were designed and manufactured. The steady state spray characteristics of closed-type swirl injector with varying swirl chamber length and diameter were verified. Mass flow rate was measured with a mass flow meter installed in front of the injector, and liquid film thickness was measured by Lefebvre's method with electrodes installed at the orifice of the injector. Variation of spray cone angle and break-up length were investigated from the spray images captured under different manifold pressure conditions.

NUFLEX is a general purpose thermo/fluid flow analysis program which has various physical models including spray. In NUFLEX, spray models are composed of breakup and collision models of droplet. However, in case of diesel engine, interaction between wall-film and impingement model considering heat transfer is not coded in NUFLEX. In this study, Lee & Ryou impingement & wall-film model considering heat transfer is applied to NUFLEX. For the verification of this NUFLEX program, numerical results are compared with experimental data. Differences of film thickness and radius between numerical results and experimental data are within 10% error range. The results show that NUFLEX can be used for comprehensive analysis of spray phenomena.

Al-SiC$_{p}$ composite layer was prepared by plasma thermal spray on aluminum substrate using composite powder prepared by mechanical alloying. Mechanically alloyed powder was achieved after 24 h milling, which was used for thermal spray coating. The correlations between process conditions and thickness/porosity were analyzed, and increase of hardness was confirmed. The presence of Al-Si-C-O compound was detected by TEM analysis.

This paper presents an atomization model for sprays under flash boiling conditions. The atomization is represented by the secondary breakup of a bubble/droplet system, and the breakup is considered as the results of two competing mechanisms, aerodynamic force and bubble growth. The model was applied to predict the atomization of a hollow-cone spray from pintle injector under flash boiling conditions. In the regimes this study considered, sprays are atomized by bubble growth, which produces smaller SMD#s than aerodynamic forces alone. With decreasing ambient pressures, the spray thickness, fuel vaporization rate and vapor radial penetration increases, and the drop size decreases. With increasing the fuel and ambient temperatures to some extent, the effect of flash boiling and air entrainment completely change the spray pattern.
