R134a is considered as an alternative refrigerant to R22 for air conditioners. An experimental investigation was made to study the characteristics of the heat transfer and pressure drop for R134a flowing in a fin-and-tube heat exchanger used for commercial air-conditioning units. Experiments were carried out under the conditions of inlet refrigerant temperature of $60^{\circ}C$ and refrigerant mass fluxes of $150,\;200,\;and\;250\;kg/m^{2}s$. The inlet air has dry bulb temperature or $35^{\circ}C$, relative humidity of 40% and air velocity varying from 0.68 to 1.6 m/s. Experiments show that air velocity decreased by 5.9% is needed for R134a than that of R22 while pressure drop for R134a was $18.1{\sim}20.4%$ higher than that of R22 for the degree of subcooling $5^{\circ}C$. The results are useful in designing more compact and effective condensers for various refrigeration and air conditioning systems using refrigerant R134a.

Natural convection in bridgman growth and it's effect on macrosegregation in unidirectionally solidified off-eutectic alloys were examined in this study. AlCu off-eutectic alloys(27.5wt% ~35. 6wt% ) were solidified upward or downward for producing a different natural convection and then Cu concentrations of off-eutectic composites were measured as a function of solidified fraction. Solutal and temperature distributions ahead of the solid/liquid interface were measured on quenched specimen. When hypo-utectic AlCu alloys are directionally solidified with downward growth, considerable macrosegregation occurs due to flow induced by thermal and solutal convection in melt. Soultal convection affects the macrosegregation of hyper-eutectic AlCu alloys more severely than thermal convection. Solute composition at solid/liquid interface of offkutectic composites was eutectic and also temperature was near eutectic point without large undercooling.

An experimental study on the refrigerant-side pressure drop of slit fin an tube heat exchanger has been carried out. A comparison was made between the predictions of previously proposed empirical correlations and experimental data for the pressure drop on design conditions of condenser in micro-fin tube for R22 and Rl34a. Experiments were carried out under the conditions of inlet refrigerant temperature of $60^{\circ}C$ and mass fluxes varying from $150\;to\;250\;kg/m^{2}s$ for R22 and Rl34a. The inlet air conditions are dry bulb temperature of $35^{\circ}C$, relative humidity of 40% and air velocity varying from 0.68 to 1.43 m/s. Experiments show that pressure drop for R134a was $22{\sim}22.6%$ higher than R22 for the degree of subcooling $5^{\circ}C$ For the mass fluxes of $200{\sim}250\;kg/m^{2}s$, the deviation between the experimental and predicted values for the pressure drop was less than ${\pm}20%$ for R22 and Rl34a.

This study experimentally investigates effect of boiling heat transfer when ultrasonic vibration was applied. Under the wall temperature condition, temperature distribution in a cavity was measured during the boiling process and heat transfer coefficient of convection, sub-tooled boiling and saturated boiling states were measured with and without ultrasonic vibration, respectively. Also, the profiles of the pressure distribution in acoustic field measured by a hydrophone were compared with the augmentation ratios of heat transfer calculated by local heat transfer coefficient. Result of this study, heat transfer coefficient and augmentation ratio of heat transfer is higher with ultrasonic waves than without one. Especially, augmentation ratio of heat transfer is more increased the convection state than sub-cooled boiling and saturated boiling states. Acoustic pressure is relatively higher near ultrasonic transducer than other points where is no installed it and affects the augmentation ratio of heat transfer.

저탄소강은 일반적으로 용접성이 우수하지만 완전한 접합 강도와 용접부에서의 결함을 방지하기 위해서는 많은 주위가 필요하다. 용접부의 기계적 성질은 그 미세구조에 따라 좌우되는데, 이 구조는 모재의 화학조성, 용접 조건 그리고 후열처리에 의하여 결정이 된다. 이와 같이 용융용 접에 의한 저탄소강의 접합부는 저탄소함량으로 응고 균열에 대한 저항이 높다. 그러나 탄소의 함량이 증가하므로서 용접성은 저하하여, 0.3% 이상에서 용접부는 과열, 과냉, 저온 균열과 porosity에 취약하게 된다. 구조용강애 있어서는 용접성에 대한 일반적인 기준이 없으므로 이 러한 재료는 모재와 용접부의 기계적 성질, 고온 및 저온 균열성, 열간 및 냉각가공성등을 고려 하게 된다. 그러나 가장 중요한 것은 용접부의 신뢰도이다. 탄소강과 저합금강에 있어서 용접은 높은 강도를 얻을 수 있어야 하며 접합부에서 모재의 원래의 특성을 유지하여야 하고 결함이 없어야 할 것이다. 이와 같은 결함은 모재의 융접 이하에서 접합을 실시하는 고상접합으로 충 분히 억제할 수가 있다. 고상접합에서는 근본적인 미세조직의 결정화도 피할 수 있으며 고온균 일과 같은 결함의 위험도 배제할 수 있다. 고상접합은 용융용접과는 달리 모재를 용융시키지 않고 고체상태에서 접합을 하는데, 신금속 및 신소재의 개발과 첨단산업의 발달로 고상접합 기 술이 크게 각광을 받고 발전하게 되었다. 이와 같은 접합기술의 발전으로 기존의 용접으로는 접합이 불가한 소재, 용접기술의 적용이 곤란한 복잡한 형상, 복합기능 소재, 고품질 및 고정밀 성이 요구되는 소재등이 접합이 가능하게 되었다. 이러한 접합기술로는 brazing, 확산접합, 마찰 용접 등이 주로 많이 이용되고 있다. Brazing은 융점이 낮은 filler metal이 모재의 사이에서 용 융상태로 유입되어 냉각되면서 접합되는 방식이고 확산접합은 모재의 접합계면에서 원자의 상호 확산으로 접합을 하게 된다. 한편 마찰용접은 계면에서 회전에 의한 마찰열고 접합하는 방식 이다. 본 기술해설에서는 이러한 고상접합 기술을 이용한 철강재료의 접합에 대하여 고찰하도록 하겠다.

Heteroepitaxial InP/GaAs layers were grown using the selective liquid phase epitaxy (SLPE) technique. It was observed that the optimum LPE conditions were $660^{\circ}C$ growth temperature, $5^{\circ}C$ supercooling, and $0.4^{\circ}C$/min cooling rate. Maximum expitaxial layer overgrowth (ELO) of 110-160$\mu \textrm{m}$ was obtained when the seed was aligned along (112) orientation. Initial melt-back of the substrate was observed but limited to the seed region so that flat In-Ga-As-P layers were grpwn throughout the GaAs substrates. The InP/GaAs heteroepitaxial structure could be obtained by growing an additional InP layer on top of the In-Ga-As-P layer.

R1234yf has been developed as an alternative refrigerant to R134a, which has been associated with global warming. The capillary tubes as expansion valves control the mass flow rate and balance system pressure in the refrigeration cycle. The present numerical model used the governing equations including the law of conservation of mass, momentum, and energy in a capillary tube. The mass flow rate of R1234yf decreased by 47.0% as the capillary tube length was increased from 1 to 4 m. As the inner diameter of the capillary tubes was changed from 1.3 to 1.7 mm, the mass flow rate of R134a and R1234yf increased by 117.9% and 121.0%, respectively. The mass flow rate of the R134a and R1234yf increased by 28.3% and 29.1% with subcooling increasing from 0 to $7^{\circ}C$. In addition, when the inlet temperature of the capillary tubes was changed from 35 to $60^{\circ}C$, the mass flow rate of R134a and R1234yf increased by 31.0% and 45.4%, respectively.

최근 본 연구실에서 무연 솔더를 위한 새로운 Cu-Zn 합금 젖음층을 개발하였다. 전해도금을 통하여 Cu-Zn 합금층을 형성한 뒤 그 위에 Sn-4.0wt% Ag-0.5wt% Cu (SAC 405) 솔더를 리플로 솔더링을 통해 솔더접합부를 형성하였으며 계면에서 생성된 금속간 화합물의 형성 및 성장 거동을 연구하였다. SAC/Cu 시스템의 경우, $150^{\circ}C$에서 시효 처리를 실시하는 동안 솔더와 도금된 Cu 계면에서 $Cu_6Sn_5$ 상과 미세한 공공이 형성된 $Cu_3Sn$ 상이 발견되었다. 반면에 SAC/Cu-Zn 시스템에서는 계면에서 $Cu_6Sn_5$ 상만이 형성되었다. 또한 큰 판상형의 $Ag_3Sn$ 상이 SAC/Cu 시스템에 비해 현저하게 억제되었다. SAC/Cu-Zn 계면에서의 금속간 화합물의 성장 속도가 SAC/Cu 계면에서 형성된 금속간 화합물의 성장 속도보다 느리게 나타났다. Cu-Zn 젖음층의 Zn가 솔더와 Cu-Zn 층 사이에서 Cu와 Sn 원자의 상호 확산을 방해하기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 Cu와 Cu-Zn 층을 이용한 솔더 접합부의 낙하 충격 신뢰성을 연구하였다. 낙하 충격 시험 시편은 두 개의 인쇄 회로 기판을 SAC 405 솔더볼을 이용하여 리플로를 통해 상호연결 하여 제조되었다. 이 때, 각각의 인쇄 회로 기판의 패드에는 Cu 층과 Cu-Zn층을 전해도금을 통하여 각각 $10{\mu}m$두께의 젖음층을 형성하였다. 낙하 시험 시편을 제조한 뒤, 시효 처리에 대한 낙하 저항 신뢰성의 특성을 연구하기 위해 250, 500 시간동안 시효처리를 한 후 각 조건에서 계면에 형성된 금속간 화합물의 성장 거동을 관찰하였으며, 낙하 충격 시험을 실시하였다. 낙하 시험은 daisy chain으로 연결된 시편의 저항이 100 Ohm 이상 측정되었을 때 중단되도록 하였다. Cu-Zn/SAC/Cu-Zn 시편의 경우 초기 리플로를 하였을 때 불량이 발생하는 평균 낙하 수는 350이며, Cu/SAC/Cu 시편의 평균 낙하수는 200 미만으로 나타났다. Cu/SAC/Cu 시편의 경우, 시효처리 시간이 증가함에 따라 평균 낙하수는 큰 폭으로 감소하였지만, Cu-Zn/SAC/Cu-Zn 시편은 불량이 발생하는 평균 낙하수의 감소폭이 보다 완만하게 나타났다. Cu 층에 Zn를 첨가함으로써 솔더와 젖음층 사이에서 형성된 금속간 화합물의 성장 및 미세 공공의 형성이 억제되었고, 솔더 접합부의 과냉을 감소시킴으로써 큰 판상형의 $Ag_3Sn$ 상의 형성을 억제함으로써 Cu-Zn/SAC/Cu-Zn 솔더 접합부에서 Cu/SAC/Cu 솔더 접합부보다 낙하 충격에 대한 저항성 및 신뢰성이 향상되었다. 이는 무연 솔더에 Zn를 첨가하여 낙하 충격 신뢰성을 향상시킨 것과 동일한 효과를 나타냈음을 확인하였다. 본 연구는 한국 과학 기술 재단의 전자패키지 재료 연구 센터(CEPM)와 지식 경제부의 부품 소재 기술 개발 사업의 지원을 받아 수행되었습니다.

7000-series aluminum alloys are noted for their superior strength compared with other Al alloys, and their billets are generally fabricated by direct-chill (DC) casting. Surface defects in a DC-cast aluminum billet are mainly related to exudation and the meniscus freezing phenomenon, which are influenced by alloy compositions, casting speed, and casting temperature. 7000-series aluminum alloys have a wide freezing range during solidification, which makes it easy for casting defects to occur. In this study, we investigated surface defect evolution in casting billets of Al-8Zn-2Mg-2Cu alloy fabricated by a DC casting process. The billets showed "wavy" or "dotted" surfaces. The wavy surface was formed by meniscus freezing at a lower casting speed (200 mm/min) and temperature (655 ℃). In the wavy surface, refined dendritic cells were observed in a concave region due to the constitutional supercooling caused by meniscus freezing. Meanwhile, at a higher casting temperature (675 ℃), the dotted surface was formed by pore formation. In the dotted surfaces in the billet formed at a high casting speed (230 mm/min), an exudation layer was formed by the high metallostatic head pressure. The dotted region and the smooth region had a refined dendritic morphology and a columnar morphology at the exudation layer, respectively. This is attributed to the formation of gas pores in the dotted region.

This study focuses on the development of the liquid air production process that uses LNG (liquefied natural gas) cold energy which usually wasted during the regasification stage. The liquid air can be transported to the LNG exporter, and it can be utilized as the cold source to replace certain amount of refrigerant for the natural gas liquefaction. Therefore, the condition of the liquid air has to satisfy the available pressure of LNG storage tank. To satisfy pressure constraint of the membrane type LNG tank, proposed process is designed to produce liquid air at 1.3bar. In proposed process, the air is precooled by heat exchange with LNG and subcooled by nitrogen refrigeration cycle. When the amount of transported liquid air is as large as the capacity of the LNG carrier, it could be economical in terms of the transportation cost. In addition, larger liquid air can give more cold energy that can be used in natural gas liquefaction plant. To analyze the effect of the liquid air production amount, under the same LNG supply condition, the proposed process is simulated under 3 different air flow rate: 0.50 kg/s, 0.75 kg/s, 1.00 kg/s, correspond to Case1, Case2, and Case3, respectively. Each case was analyzed thermodynamically and economically. It shows a tendency that the more liquid air production, the more energy demanded per same mass of product as Case3 is 0.18kWh higher than Base case. In consequence the production cost per 1 kg liquid air in Case3 was $0.0172 higher. However, as liquid air production increases, the transportation cost per 1 kg liquid air has reduced by $0.0395. In terms of overall cost, Case 3 confirmed that liquid air can be produced and transported with $0.0223 less per kilogram than Base case.
