This paper introduces an experimental study for the noise characteristics and reduction of a ventilating fan system. For the purpose of noise reduction of it, an absorptive duct silencer filled with a glass fiber has been conventionally utilized. However, a glass fiber has some disadvantages like hygiene and secondary pollution problems. In order to overcome these problems, in this paper, a perforated duct silencer has been applied to the ventilating fan system. For the designing of a perforated duct silencer, the transmission losses for various perforated panel systems are measured and compared with their sound absorption performances.

Combustion phenomena in porous media combustors are widely used in industrial fields for the combustion of lowgrade fuels and the regeneration of combustion heat. However, studies of combustion phenomena in porous media have been limited, because these phenomena are difficult to observe, and the configurations of porous media are complex. We propose a simple model combustor: a multi-channel combustor that consists of many layers of combustion channels made of quartz plates. We conducted an experimental observation of the flames in the multi-channel combustor and obtained experimental results for the flame stabilization limits. Flames formulated in the multi-channel combustor showed variation in the spatial distribution depending on the heat transfer between neighboring channels. A simple analytical model was developed and the variation in the flammability limits of the multi-channel combustor was discussed. This study will enhance our understanding of flame behavior in a porous-media combustor.

본 연구는 광전자촉매 시스템(PECS) 적용을 위하여 광촉매 금속판과 코팅비드를 제조하여 특성을 고찰하였다. 광촉매 물질의 회수가 용이하고, 실용화하기 위하여 티타늄 금속판을 $400^{\circ}C$에서 $700^{\circ}C$까지 $50^{\circ}C$에서 $100^{\circ}C$간격으로 토치를 사용하여 산화처리 하였으며, 비드의 경우 alumina, glass, silica gel beads에 TTIP([Ti$(OC_3H_7)_4$], Aldrich)을 전구체로 사용하여, 유동층 화학기상증착공정(Fluidized Bed Chemical Vapor Deposition, FB-CVD)으로 박막코팅을 하였다. 광촉매 금속판의 경우 산화처리 후 외관상태와 성분분석 시 최적조건은 $400^{\circ}C{\sim}500^{\circ}C$ 60분간 토치로 산화하였을 때였으며, 광촉매 코팅비드의 경우 silica gel beads가 본연의 다공구조를 나타내며 박막코팅이 되어, 상대적으로 alumina, glass beads에 비해 반응표면적이 크게 나타났다.

고표면적 다공성 금속 박막 형성 기술은 타겟에서 방출된 금속 원자들이 타겟 주변에서 서로 충돌하여 나노입자를 형성한 후 기판으로 입자를 이송시켜 나노 구조를 지니는 박막을 성장시키는 기술이다. 고표면적 다공성 금속 박막 형성 기술로 제작한 다공성 박막은 열린 기공 구조를 지니고 있기 때문에 외부 기체의 확산이 용이하고 비표면적이 높다는 특징을 가지고 있다. 특히 금속 공기 이차전지 등의 배터리의 경우 전극의 비표면적이 성능을 결정하는 중요한 인자이므로 금속판을 사용하는 경우 대비 비표면적이 높은 나노구조를 사용할 경우 용량 증대에 유리하다. 본 연구에서는 공정 압력, 공정 파워, 타겟과 기판과의 거리, 칠러 온도 등 증착 공정 변수를 제어하여 표면적이 높은 아연 나노 구조를 형성하였다. 이를 분석하기 위해 SEM을 이용하여 미세구조 및 두께를 관찰하였으며, 박막 증착 전후의 무게를 측정하여 기공률을 계산하였다. 또한 XRD 분석을 통하여 결정성 및 결정의 크기를 확인하였다. 이렇게 제작된 고표면적 다공성 Zn 금속박막을 응용하여 아연 전지 성능 평가를 진행하였다.

To investigate the degeneration process in the intervertebral disc, a three dimensional (3D) poroelastic finite-element (FE) model was developed. Disc was modeled as two different regions, such as annulus modeled with fiber reinforced 20 node poroelastic ground matrix and nucleus having large porosity. Excess Von Mises stress in the disc element assumed to be a possible source of degeneration under compressive loading condition. Recursive calculation was continued until the desired convergence was attained by changing the permeability and porosity of those elements, which could be predicted from the previous iteration. The degenerated disc model showed that relatively small compressive stresses were generated in the nucleus elements compared to normal disc. Its distribution along the sagittal plane was matched well with a previously reported experimental result. Contrasts to this result, pore pressures in the nucleus were higher than those in the normal disc. Total stress indicated similar values for two different models. This new approach using poroelastic modeling could provide the explanation of the interaction between fluid and solid matrix in the disc during the degeneration process.

This study was a preparatory experiment aimed the development of membrane scaffolds for tissue engineering. A PCL composite solution contained sodium chloride(NaCl). PCL porous membrane scaffolds were formed on a glass casting plate using a film applicator and immersed in distilled water to remove the NaCl reaching after drying. NaCl was used as a pore former for a 3 dimensional pore net-work. The dry condition parameters were $4^{\circ}C$, room temperature (RT) and $40^{\circ}C$ for each different temperatures in the drying experiment. SEM revealed the morphology of the pores in the membrane after drying and evaluated the in vitro cytotoxicity for basic bio-compatibility. The macro and micro pores existed together in the scaffold and showed a 3-dimensional pore net-working morphology at RT. The in vitro cytotoxicity test result was "grade 2" in accordance with the criterion for cytotoxicity by ISO 10993-5. The dry condition affected the formation of a 3 dimensional pore network and micro and macro pores. Therefore, these results are expected provide the basic process for the development of porous membrane scaffolds to control degradation and allow drug delivery.

Perforation plate was observed in 78 species(45 genera, 25 families) of Korean native hardwoods using SEM and it was divided into three types, i.e., simple, scalariform and multiple perforation plates, Based on occurance of these types, the species examined were classfied into the following six groups : (1) 60species(35 genera, 21 families) having exclusively simple perforation, (2) 5 species(2 genera, 1 families) having exclusively scalariform perforation plates, (3) 4 species(4 genera, 3 families) having simple and scalariform perforation plates, (4) 2 species(2 genera, 1 families) having simple and multiple perforation plates, (5) 5 species(3 genera, 3 families) having scalariform and multiple perforation plates and (6) 2 species(2 genera, 2 families) having simple, scalariform and multiple perforation plates. Mismatching perforation plates were found in two species of Betulaceae, Alnus hirsuta var. sibirica and Alnus hirsuta and peculiar substructure between the bars of the scalariform perforation plate was observed in Betulaceae, Betula davurica and Cercidiphyllaceae, Cerdiphyllum japonicum and the vestured perforation plate was found in Quercus aliena.

Flow field is an important parameter for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) performance to have an effect on the reactant supply, heat and water diffusion, and contact resistance. In this study, PEMFC performance was investigated using Cu foam flow field at the cathode of 25 cm² unit cell. Polarization curve and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were performed at different pressure and relative humidity conditions. The Cu foam showed lower cell performance than that of serpentine type due to its high ohmic resistance, but lower activation and concentration loss due to the even reactant distribution of porous structure. Cu foam has the advantage of effective water transport because of its hydrophobicity. However, it showed low membrane hydration at low humidity condition. The metal foam flow field could improve fuel cell performance with a uniform pressure distribution and effective water management, so future research on the properties of metal foam should be conducted to reduce electrical resistance of bipolar plate.

In the present work, effects of spray characteristics (droplet size and velocity) on the temperature variation of a heated porous plate (Melamine foam) have been investigated through a series of experiments. Based on the measured data, time required to cool down the hot porous material turned out to be shorten by doing with the smaller droplet size and/or smaller impinging velocity. In particular, the droplet size effect is more prominent than the impinging velocity. The cooling performance in the porous material is directly proportional to the penetration velocity.
