유기태양전지는 낮은 공정 단가, 저온공정 및 기계적 유연성과 같은 다양한 장점을 지니고 있어서 실리콘 기반의 태양전지를 대체하기 위해서 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 유기태양전지는 실리콘 기반의 태양전지에 비해서 낮은 광전변환효율을가지고 있기 때문에 효율을 높이기 위한 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 그 중에서 엑시톤 분리 효율을 높이기 위한 방안으로 나노 구조가 많이 연구되고 있다. 하지만 나노 구조를 제작하기 위해서는 식각 과정을 거치거나, 금속 템플레이트를 사용하여 공정상 복잡하고 어려움을 갖는다. 본 연구에서는 간단한 용액 공정을 이용하여 초음파 처리시간 변화에 따른 나노 구조를 가지는 광활성층을 제작하였다. 전자주게 물질인 P3HT를 혼합 용매에 녹여서 초음파 처리를 통해서 나노 구조를 제작하였고, 초음파 처리 시간에 따른 구조의 변화를 광류미네에센스 측정과 원자간 힘 현미경으로 관찰하였다. 나노 구조를 가지는 태양 전지는 엑시톤을 분리할 수 있는 전자주게와 전자받게의 계면이 증가함으로 엑시톤 분리 효율이 향상되는 장점을 가진다. 초음파 처리 사긴 변화에 따른 나노 구조 P3HT 층을 가진 태양전지의 전류밀도-전압 측정을 통해 효율의 변화를 비교하였다. 15분 동안 초음파 처리를 하였을 때, 가장 높은 효율을 가지는 것을 확인할 수 있었고, 나노 구조를 가지지 않는 유기태양전지에 비해서 20% 정도 효율이 향상되는 결과를 볼 수 있었다.

습식 석탄가스화란 석탄을 물과 혼합한 슬러리 형태(CWM, Coal Water Mixture)로 사용하는 것을 말하며, 분류층 가스화기에 빠르게 적용되었던 이유는 석유류 가스화와 공급방식이 유사하다는 점에서 출발하였다고 볼 수 있다. 1950년도에 사용되어 왔던 석유류 가스화 이용은 1970년 이후로는 유가 상승의 영향으로 석탄가스화로 바뀌게 되었다. 합성가스의 활용공정인 화학물질 제조 또는 복합발전의 운전 압력이 대부분 높기 때문에 가스화 압력을 높게 유지하기 위하여 슬러리 공급 방식이 많이 이용되었다. 슬러리 형태의 석탄 연료는 석유류가스와 시스템을 유사하게 활용할 수 있는 장점이 있으며, 특별히 고압을 필요로 하는 경우에도 비교적 간단한 시스템을 이용하여 공급 가능하다. 본 고에서는 현재까지 한국에너지기술연구원에서 수행된 습식 석탄가스화 기술개발 내용에 대하여 기술하고자 하였다.

We report on the effects of mixing of powders with various particle sizes on fracture toughness and wear resistance of thermally sprayed WC-10Co-4Cr coating layers fabricated by HVOF (high-velocity oxygen fuel) process. The size and the mixing ratio of powders were changed in order to get high fracture toughness and wear resistance. The mixing of small amount of coarse powders with fine powders resulted in the highest fracture toughness and wear resistance due to the lowest porosity in coating layers.

A ceramic monolithic catalyst is a honeycomb structure that consists of two layers. The honeycomb structure is regarded as a continuum in structure and heat-flow analysis. The equivalent mechanical properties of the honeycomb structure were determined by performing finite element analysis (FEA) for a test specimen. Bending strength experiments and FEA of the test specimen used in ASTM C1674-08 standard test were performed individually. The bonding coefficient between the cordierite ceramic layer and the washcoat layer was almost zero. The FEA test specimen was modeled on the basis of the bonding coefficient. The elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, and the thermal properties of the ceramic monolithic substrate were determined by performing the FEA of the test specimen.

As mobile communication devices use wide bands for large data transmission, Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic(LTCC) has been a candidate for module substrate, for it provides better electrical properties and enables various embedded passive devices compared to conventional PCB. The LTCC, however, has applied in limited area because of non-uniform shrinkage. Hybrid heating was developed to raise sample temperature uniformly in a short period of time This leads to unidirectional sintering which enables sample to be sintered layer by layer from the bottom, resulting in more stable shape of interconnection at the top surface of the sample than conventional electric furnace heating. When sintering properties of substrate and electrical/mechanical properties of interconnection were compared, hybrid heating showed possibility to be applicable to substrate miniaturization and interconnection densification superior to electric furnace heating.

Recently, there have been various lifeline installations constructed in the underground space of urban area due to the effective use of land. For newly installed lifelines or the management of the installed lifelines, many construction activities of excavation and backfilling are observed. Around these area, there are possibilities of collapse or excessive settlement due to the leaking of the pipe or unsatisfactory compaction of backfill material. Besides, construction costs can be saved since the on-site soils are used. The application of this liquidity filling material is not only to the lifeline installation but also to underpin the foundation under the vibrating machinery. On the evaluation of the applicability of this method to this circumstance, the strength should be investigated against the static load from the machine load as well as the vibration load from the activation of the machine. In this study, the applicability of the liquidity fill material on the foundation under the vibrating machinery is assessed via uniaxial compression and resonant column tests. The liquidity filling material consisting of the on-site soils with loess and kaolinite are tested to investigate the static and dynamic characteristics. Furthermore, the applicability of the reclaimed ash categorized as an industrial waste is evaluated for the recycle of the waste to the construction materials. The experimental results show that the shear modulus and 7 day uniaxial strength of the liquidity filling material mixed with reclaimed ash show higher than those with the on-site soils. However, the damping ratio does not show any tendency on the mixed materials.

Mechanical properties and their adhesion behavior with zinc- and brass-plated steel cords of natural rubber/acrylonitrile-butadiene blend compounds were investigated as a function of blend ratio. The Mooney viscosity and stress relaxation time were found to be lowered with increasing NBR content. Tensile modulus generally increased with increasing NBR content. Tensile stress at break stayed constant up to about 40 phr and showed minimum at $50{\sim}60 phr$, and thereafter increased with increasing NBR content. Strain at break decreased linearly below 50 phr, and above the level it showed nearly constant value. Based on the abrupt drops in elastic modulus and tan ${\delta}$ peak, the glass transition temperature of NR and NBR were found to be -55 and $-10^{\circ}C$, respectively. In the case of NR/NBR blend compounds, two distinct transition points were observed and each transition position was not affected by NBR level indicating an incompatible nature of NR/NBR blend system. The pullout force and rubber coverage decreased to the level of about 40% to that of pure m compound, when the 50 phr of NR was replaced by NBR. However, the pure NBR compound showed the comparable adhesion performance with NR(${\sim}90%$). The sulfur concentration was found to become lower with the increased NBR content at the adhesion interface based on the Auger spectrometer results, representing a lack of adhesion layer formation, and this was explained for a possible cause of low adhesion performance with adding NBR.

Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) is widely used as a method of removing nitrogen oxide in large-capacity thermal power generation systems. Uniform mixing of the injected ammonia and the inlet flue gas is very important to the performance of the denitrification reduction process in the catalyst bed. In the present study, a computational analysis technique was applied to the ammonia injection system design process of a denitrification facility. The applied model is the denitrification facility of an 800 MW class coal-fired power plant currently in operation. The flow field to be solved ranges from the inlet of the ammonia injection system to the end of the catalyst bed. The flow was analyzed in the two-dimensional domain assuming incompressible. The steady-state turbulent flow was solved with the commercial software named ANSYS-Fluent. The nozzle arrangement gap and injection flow rate in the ammonia injection system were chosen as the design parameters. A total of four (4) cases were simulated and compared. The root mean square of the NH3/NO molar ratio at the inlet of the catalyst layer was chosen as the optimization parameter and the design of the experiment was used as the base of the optimization algorithm. The case where the nozzle pitch and flow rate were adjusted at the same time was the best in terms of flow uniformity.

Numerical studies on the influence of interaction between atmosphere and ocean on the variation of Karman vortex at the lee side of Jeju Island were carried out. Karman vortex tends to be occurred at limited height associated with Hanla mountain. And we can find clear Karman vortex at 900 hPa height in this study. One big vortex cell occurred at lee side of Jeju Island in the begging stage of its development and the cell was divided into three small cells as time goes by. And the strength and lifetime of small vortexes depend on the distribution of SST (Sea Surface Temperature). Weak gradient of SST makes long-lasting Karman vortex but produces weak potential vorticity at lee side of Jeju-do in comparison with the vortex under strong SST gradient. Strong SST gradient also increases not only the mixing depth but also the mixing ratio at lower level of troposphere. And the increased atmospheric mixing decreases the mechanical forcing due to isolated topography. Then the strength of Karman vortex at the lee side of Jeju Island becomes weak under strong gradient of SST. Thus the evolution of Karman vortex is closely related to distribution of SST around the isolated island.
