The evaporation characteristics of nanofluid droplets on a heated solid surface were experimentally investigated. The experiments were conducted using pure water and a nanofluid of water mixed with CuO nanoparticles, and the solid surface was made of a copper block heated by a nine cartridge heater. The experimental results showed that the evaporation rate of the nanofluid droplet was higher than that of the pure water droplet on the heated solid surface because nanoparticles increased the thermal conductivity of the nanofluid. Furthermore, it was found that the evaporation rate of the nanofluid droplet increased with the solid surface roughness. This may be because the actual area of the liquid-solid interface increased with the solid surface roughness.

The effects of solid surface roughness on the contact angle of a nanofluid droplet were experimentally investigated. The experiments were conducted using the solid surface of a 10 mm cubic copper block and the nanofluid of water mixed with CuO nanoparticles. The experimental results showed that the contact angles of nanofluid droplets were lower than those of water droplets and that the contact angle of the nanofluid droplet increased with the solid surface roughness. Furthermore, it was found that the contact angles of water droplets on the solid surface quenched by both water and the nanofluid were lower than those of water droplets on the pure solid surface. However, significant differences were not observed between the contact angles on the solid surfaces quenched by water and the nanofluid.

전기수력학적 분무를 이용한 액적 미립화 기술은 나노사이즈의 액적 형성, 쿨롱 반발력에 의한 균일한 액적 형성, 그리고 향상된 액적 타겟팅을 가능하게 한다. 따라서 이를 이용하여 매우 균일한 박막 코팅이 가능하다. 이러한 점에 힘입어 현재 진공 공정으로 제작되고 있는 CIGS태양전지의 광흡수층을 비진공 공정중 하나인 전기수력학적 미립화를 이용하여 실험하였다. Ethanol-based 의 CIGS나노 입자를 포함하는 콜로이드 상태의 전구체를 이용하여 적절히 가열된 몰리브덴 배면 전극위에 적용하였다. 미립화한 액적은 접지된 몰리브덴 층에 부착되는 즉시 증발하여 CIGS입자를 남긴다. 여기서 가장 중요하게 다루어야 할 조건은 기판의 온도, 인가 전압, 전구체의 유량이다. 분사 모드는 Cone-jet을 적용하였으며 5~15kV의 인가 전압에서 1ml/hr내외의 유량을 공급하여 3분 이내에 적절한 광흡수층 두께인 1마이크론 내외에 도달할 수 있다. 이와같은 조건으로 형성된 박막층에 관한 SEM image를 통해 다른 비진공 코팅 방식과 비교하였다.

The impact, spreading and recoil processes of a nanoparticle-laden droplet impacting on a horizontal solid surface are numerically investigated by solving the conservation equations for mass, momentum, energy and mass fraction. The liquid-air interface is tracked using a level-set method that is modified to include the effect of contact angle hysteresis at the wall. The species transport equation including a thermal diffusion term is additionaly solved to determine the nanoparticle distribution in the droplet. The effect of nanoparticle concentration and contact angle are also studied.

The present study investigates the evaporation heat transfer characteristics of nanofluid droplet for different nanoparticle sizes. Also, the heat transfer coefficient was measured at different nanoparticle concentrations during evaporation. From the experimental results, it is found that the evaporation behavior of sessile droplet can be considered as constant radius mode due to pinning effect. The total evaporation time of sessile droplet decreases with nanoparticle size up to 7.9% for 0.10 vol% nanofluid droplet. As nanoparticle concentration increases, the clear difference in heat transfer coefficient is observed, showing that the size effect should be examined. This result would be helpful in designing the correlation between the nanoparticle size and the heat transfer characteristics for various applications.

In this study, we deposited silver nanoparticles on the nanocone array structure which was fabricated by the UV nanoimprint process for optical signal amplification. The deposition of the silver nanoparticles was based on the evaporation behavior of the solution droplet according to wettability of surface and the deposition pattern changed from the center of the droplet to the edge depending on the difference of thermal energy. The optical property of silver nanoparticles that were deposited on imprinted nanohole patterns was simulated by the Finite difference time domain (FDTD) analysis method, and it was confirmed that energy was concentrated around the silver nanoparticle of the finally fabricated structure.

최근 디스플레이 산업과 태양전지 등의 이차 전지 산업이 발달함에 따라 원가절감과 공정단계의 단순화를 위하여 다이렉트 패터닝 인쇄에 대한 연구가 관심을 받고 있으며, 나노전자부품 제작이 요구되는 전기/전자 소자들은 수백 nm에서부터 수십 ${\mu}$m 수준까지 다양한 해상도의 패턴으로 구성되므로 미세패턴이 가능한 정전수력학 잉크젯프린팅 방식은 기존의 인쇄 방식과 달리, 정전기력을 이용하여 인쇄를 하는 방식으로, 수KV의 고전압을 인가하여 잉크를 대전시키고, 대전된 잉크는 대부의 전기적 반발력에 의해 액적이나 액실로 분열하게 된다. 전하를 띤 액적 또는 액실은 정전기력을 받아 기판 쪽으로 이동을 하게 되는데, 이때 액적의 전하량에 의해 액적의 이동속도와 이동경로가 영향을 받게 된다. 본 연구에서는 잉크의 전기전도도에 따른 액적의 전하량을 계산하여 전기전도도와 액적의 전하량과의 관계를 ANASYS 시뮬레이션과 운동경로 분석을 통해 확인하였다. 전기전도도가 0.307s/m~5.6s/m인 잉크에 따른 액적의 전하량을 계산하였으며, 전기전도도가 변화에 따라. 전하량이 $0.5{\times}10^{-13}C{\sim}2.5{\times}10^{-13}C$ 으로 변화하는 것을 확인하였다.

Researches on the oil recovery enhancement using the nanotechnology has recently been studied in the United States. The previous researches has focused mainly on the flow characteristics of nanoparticles in porous media, and the stability of the nano-emulsion itself. However, the analysis did not deal with the size effects between a nano-emulsion and the pore size which has an important role when nano-emulsion flows in the porous media. In this research, nano-based emulsion was fabricated which is able to be applied for the enhanced oil recovery techniques and its characteristics was analyzed. In addition, in order to identify the characteristics of nano-emulsions flowing through the porous media, the size effect was analysed by filtering test. According to the results, when the emulsion was fabricated, SCA(Silane Coupling Agent) or PVA(Poly Vinyl Alcohol) are added to improve the stability of emulsion. As the ratio of the decane to water increased, the viscosity of emulsion and the droplet size also increased. For the filtering test at the atmospheric conditions, the droplet did not go through the filter; only the separated water from the emulsion was able to be filtered. This phenomenon occurred because the droplet was not able to overcome the capillary pressure. At the filtering test by suction pressure, most of the emulsion was filtered over the filter size of $60{\mu}m$. However, the ratio of filtration was rapidly degraded at less than $45{\mu}m$ filters. This is caused due to deformation and destruction of the droplet by strong shear stress when passing through the pore. The results from the study on the basic characteristic of nano-emulsion and filtering test will be expected to play as the important role for the fabrication of the stable nano-emulsion or the research on the recovery of residual oil in porous media.

In this study, the evaporation characteristics of water or nanofluid droplets on a heated surface was investigated by visualization of the evaporation process and evaluation of the heat transfer coefficient using the droplet temperature measured. The evaporation characteristics was compared between water and nanofluid droplets and the effects of the mass ratio of nanofluid and the inclination of heated surface were analyzed. The heat transfer rate of nanofluid droplet was higher than that of water droplet. The heat transfer coefficient was increased with the increase of the mass ratio of nanofluid. The effect of the inclination of heated surface was much higher than that of fluid type used, which indicates that the inclination of heated surface should be considered as one of influential parameters in the spray cooling process.

산화아연은 높은 열전도도와 열용량을 갖으며, 결정 부피의 44%만이 아연 및 산소 이온으로 채워져 있어 결함의 생성이 다양하여 여러 가지 전기적, 광전기적, 촉매 특성등을 부여할 수 있어 산업전반에 널리 이용되고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 초음파 분무 연소합성법을 이용하여 Zinc nitrate hexahydrate를 산화제로, Carbohydrazide를 환원제로 사용하여, 연소합성을 위한 에너지를 최대희 얻기 위해 산화수와 환원수의 비율이 1:1이 되게 조절하여 전구체의 산화ㆍ환원 반응을 이용하여 액적의 체류시간, 농도, 온도, filtering 효과등을 조절하면서 액적 단위로 연소반응을 유도함으로써 부가적인 하소과정이 필요없이 상전이가 완료된 구형의 나노크기 ZnO 분말을 in-situ로 제조하여 입자의 크기와 형 태, 결정상등을 분석하였다.
