A technique to measure the adsorption characteristic of surface area and pore size of a ceramic thin film is proposed, and its performance is examine. The thin film is fabricated directly on the resonator surface to measure the adsorption capacity of the film as it is, and using carbon dioxide makes the measurement easy. The results indicates that the measured surface area is satisfactory, while the pore size has some error. It is suggested that readily available carbon dioxide can be used to determine adsorption capacity of thin film at room temperature.

Research for solar-powered high altitude long endurance(HALE) UAV was conducted by Korea Aerospace Research Institute(KARI), and the EAV-3 with 19.5m wing span was developed. For HALE flight, aircraft should be lightly designed. Especially, airframe structure that accounts for a large portion of the total weight of aircraft should be lightweight. In this paper, development process of airframe structure for solar-powered HALE UAV, EAV-3, is described briefly. Domestic developed T-800 grade CFRP(Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic) composite material with high modulus and strength was used to design main load carrying structures. Flightloads analysis that takes into account large structural deformation was carried out. Stress and flutter analyses for airframe structure sizing were conducted. Static strength test for main wing and aircraft ground vibration test were conducted successfully and structural integrity was secured.

A LNG safety valve functions to control a constant pressure inside the LNG line of transportation, and the flow through it accompanies with noise and vibration which affect adversely on the system. The present study aims at understanding the flow physics of LNG safety valve for a practical design of LNG safety valve. A computational work using the two-dimensional, axisymmetric, compressible, Navier-Stokes equations is carried out to simulate the gas flow through the LNG safety valve, and compared with the theoretical results. It is found that the shape of valve sheet and the gap size are the key parameters in determining the gas dynamic forces on the valve sheet, and there exists a distance between nozzle exit and valve sheet in which the thrust coefficient at the valve sheet increases abruptly.

Two type interference air refractometers have been developed by using a frequency stabilized He-Ne laser in a transverse magnetic field. The refractometers were based on symmetric multiple pass interferometer. In this system, One part of the beams passed through air whose refractivity is to be measured and the other part of the beams passed through a vacuum champer to be used as a reference. Several measurements were performed under normal air condition. Maximum difference between two interference refractometers was ${\pm}2{\times}10^{-8}$.

Lightning impulse $(1.2/44[\mus])$ and damped oscillating impulse $(Osc./44[\mus])$ : 0.83[MHz]) breakdown characteristics in sulphur-hexafluoride/nitrogen (SF6-N2) mixtures were investigated. The predischarge currents were observed to clarify the breakdown mechanism. th experiments were carried out under nonuniform electric fields disturbed by a needle-shaped protrusion whose length and diameter are 10[mm] and 1[mm] at total gas pressure up to 0.5[MPa] with nitrogen concentrations varying from 5 to 20[%] in the mixture. The electrical breakdowns of SF6-N2 mixtures for both the positive and negative polarities develop with steplike pulses in leader mechanism and the breakdown voltage -time (V-t) characteristics were affected by the space charge. The voltage-time curves for the negative oscillating impulse voltage were extended over the longer time range. The minimum breakdown voltages for the negative lightning and oscillating impulse voltage were higher than those for the positive ones. in particular the positive breakdown voltages were independent of the gas pressure.

Airframe structure development of the 35 kg class 'Disaster and Public Safety Multicopter' UAV is described in this paper. To reduce the airframe weight, T-700 grade CFRP composite material was used, and the fuselage was designed with the semi-monocoque structure and plate installed with the control and communication devices designed in a sandwich structure. The specimen tests for the laminated plate and pipe were conducted to verify the strength and stiffness of the designed parts. The stacking sequence of composite materials was determined by the static strength and vibration analysis, and landing gear strut was designed by the nonlinear analysis with decent speed and ground clearance requirements. The static strength test was performed to evaluate the structural integrity and to verify the landing gear behavior.

Flame flickering occurs mainly because of the buoyancy force for pool fires under ambient air. The cup-burner flame was used for experimental investigation of the effect of the oxidizer velocity on the gravitational instability. The results showed that the flickering frequency decreased with increasing oxidizer velocity. The frequency-buoyancy relation with nondimensional variables coincided with that of the buoyant flume and pool fires when the characteristic velocity was defined as the difference between the fuel and oxidizer velocities, which implies that the origin of the gravitational instability is the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability in the shear layer. The effect of the oxidizer composition on the instability was also examined through nitrogen dilution in the oxidizer stream. As the concentration of inert gas increased, the length of the blue flame increased and lift-off behavior was observed. The oscillation frequency was independent of the dilution ratio, but was related to the local flame structure.

In this paper, for the purpose of studying the adsorbed states of benzene and p-xylene molecules on both of the Spheron 6(graphitized carbon) and the Alucer(aluminium oxides), we have calculated the differential molar entropies of adsorption in the Submonolayer region, by the use of statistical thermodynamics. The models we have adopted are two-dimensional gases and the harmonic oscillators. The values calculated in this way are compared with experimental values. As a result, it is believed that the adsorbed benzene molecules are localized on the Spheron 6, whereas on the Alucer it is nonlocalized. The molecular frequency, which is an adjustable parameter and is introduced as a result of oscillator model is $10^{11}\;sec^{-1}$ in the order of magnitude. For the case of p-xylene molecules adsorbed on these adsorbents, an abnormal result is obtained quite prior to the monolayer coverage, contrarily to the expectation of similar results as for the case of benzene.

The IR spectra of gaseous phenanthrene, phenathrenols, phenanthrenyl radicals, and hydroxylphenanthrene radicals have been obtained using the BLYP/6-311++G(d,p) method. A comparison of these spectra shows that the measurements of IR spectra can be valuable to identify the reaction pathway(s) of the phenanthrene decomposition reaction by ${\cdot}OH$. We have found that the H atom abstraction reaction process can be easily identifiable from the $650-850cm^{-1}$ (CH out-of-plane bending) region and the ${\cdot}OH$ addition reaction process from the CH stretching and bending modes region of IR spectra. In addition, the calculated IR spectra of all five phenanthren-n-ols (n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 9) have also given in this work.

An experimental study was performed for the behavior of the burner flame which results from burning of the liquid hydrocarbon fuel atomized by an ultrasonic transducer. Configurations of the flame and combustion-field were caught by both high-speed camera and thermo-graphic camera, and those images were analyzed in detail through a image post-processing. As a result, the combustion-field grew and reaction-temperature rose due to the strengthening of combustion reaction with the increasing flow-rate of carrier-gas. In addition, a phenomenon of flame flickering was discussed through the comparative analysis of the variational behavior between the visible flame and IR (Infrared) flame-field. Also, the flickering frequency of the flame was confirmed through FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) analysis employing the flame area.
