To develop a dry alcohol containing red ginseng extract, dry alcohols composed of ethanol, water, dextrin and sodium lauryl sulfate were prepared using spray dryer, and their ethanol contents and encapsulation efficiencies were determined. An optimal dry alcohol containing red ginseng extract was chosen and the feeling for its oral administration was evaluated. Dextrin at dextrin/water weight ratios below 1.6/l and ethanol at ethanol/water weight ratios below 1/1 remarkably Increased both the ethanol contents and encapsulation efficiencies of dry alcohols. However dextrin at dextrin/water weight ratios above 1.6/1 and ethanol at ethanol/water weight ratios above 1/1 slightly decreased the both parameters. It might be due to the low solubility of dextrin in ethanol and limited diffusion coefficient of ethanol to the dextrin shell. furthermore, 0.5% (w/w) sodium lauryl sulfate gave the maximum ethanol content of dry alcohol. The more increased amounts of red ginseng extract were added, the more increased amounts of ginsenoside Rb1 but the more decreased amounts of ethanol were encapsulated in dry alcohols. A dry alcohol containing red ginseng extract was prepared with dextrin/ethanol/water (1/1/1, w/w/w) mixed solution, in which 0.5% (w/w) sodium lauryl sulfate and 20% (w/w) red ginseng extract were dissolved. It contained the ethanol contents of31.17$\pm$ 1.33% (w/w) and ginsenoside Rbl of 243.0$\pm$7.0 $\mu$g/g. It gave the moderate taste of red ginseng extract at Its oral administration with or without water Thus, the dry alcohol containing red ginseng extract can be further developed as a more convenient dosage form for red ginseng extract.

Mg alloys AZ31 and AZ91 were Plasma-Electrolytic-Oxidized in Na-P and Na-Si system electrolyte at various concentration, applied voltage and time. Thickness and surface roughness of PEO coating were examined. Salt spraying test were carried out to compare their corrosion resistances. Generally, corrosion resistances rate were increased as thickness and crystallinity increasing. Size of pore being larger, long term corrosion resistance decreased. It is turned out that $Mg_2SiO_4$ and other crystalline phase rather than MgO might be increase corrosion resistance dramatically.

The Analysis of spray characteristics for combined spray group are necessary to develop large rocket engine. In this study, basic effects of interaction from spray fan formed by impinging jets were investigated with respect to mass distribution, droplet velocities and diameter. Patternater and PDPA are used for experimental apparatus. Water was used as a test fluid When momentum ratio is 1, effect of interaction from collision of spray fan on mass distribution are small. Also, effect of interaction from collision of spray fan on droplet velocities and diameter are small. But, droplet diameter is smaller near collision point due to second collision. Therefor, for the same momentum ratio from spray fan formed by impinging jets, we may neglect effect of interaction on mass distribution, droplet velocities and diameter.

An injector for fuel rich gas generator was designed and experimentally investigated. Five variations of F-O-F triplet impinging type injector were tested to evaluate spray characteristics with kerosene/water simulant propellant. Test was focused to find the effect of design variables of impinging angle, and impinging distance, on the atomization performance. A mixing efficiency is used to compare droplet distribution and local O/F ratio of each injector in the range of momentum ratio of 0.2~1.3. Test results shows the max value of mixing efficiency locates about the 0.8 in momentum ratio. And the injector with an impinging angle of 45 degree and impinging distance of 6mm shows the very good performance result suitable for fuel rich gas generator. A combustion test will be also conducted with selected injector to verify the spray pattern and mixing efficiency.

Fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) coated NiCrAl alloy foam is fabricated using ultrasonic spray pyrolysis deposition (USPD). To confirm the influence of the FTO layer on the NiCrAl alloy foam, we investigated the structural, chemical, and morphological properties and chemical resistance by using USPD to adjust the FTO coating time (12, 18, and 24 min). As a result, when an FTO layer was coated for 24 min on NiCrAl alloy foam, it was found to have an enhanced chemical resistance compared to those of the other samples. This improvement in the chemical resistance of using USPD NiAlCr alloy foam can be the result of the existence of an FTO layer, which can act as a protection layer between the NiAlCr alloy foam and the electrolyte and also the result of the increased thickness of the FTO layer, which enhances the diffusion length of the metal ion.

In this study copper chloride(CuCl$_2$) solution was used as raw material to produce the fine copper oxide powder which has less than 1 $\mu\textrm{m}$ average particle size and has uniform particle size distribution by spray pyrolysis process. In the present study, the effects of reaction temperature, the injection speed of solution and air, the nozzle tip size and the concentration of raw material solution on the properties of produced powder were studied. The structure of the powder became much more compact with increasing the reaction temperature regardless of copper concentration of the raw material solution. The particle size of the powder increased accordingly with increasing the reaction temperature in case of 30 g/$\ell$ copper concentration of the solution. The particle size of the powder increased accordingly, and the surface structure of the powder became more porous with increasing the copper concentration of the raw material solution. When copper concentration in raw material solution was more than 100 g/$\ell$, all produced powder was CuCl regardless of reaction temperatures. When copper concentration in solution was below 30 g/$\ell$ and reaction temperature was higher than 90$0^{\circ}C$, CuO was the main phase. The surface of the powder tended to become porous with increasing the injection speed of solution. Particle size was increased and the surface of the powder showed severely disrupted state with increasing the nozzle tip size. The particle size was decreased and the particle size distribution was more uniform with increasing the air pressure through the nozzle.

We proposed a novel method to remove PM2.5 dusts without HEPA filters aiming at applications in kitchens or enclosed work spaces generating PM2.5 at high concentrations. Many workers are exposed to PM2.5 owing to lack of air purification because the high replacement costs of HEPA filters make their application impractical. A key idea is to use the condensational growth of nanoparticles. Once particles grow to the size of a few micrometers, it is much easier to remove them because of their increased inertia. We developed and tested a prototype consisting of an air saturator (equipped with water spray nozzles), a condenser in which humid air was cooled down to make the particles grow, and a multi-impactor assembly for collecting the grown particles.

In this study, nano-sized tin oxide powder with an average particle size of below 50 nm is prepared by the spray pyrolysis process. The influence of air pressure on the properties of the generated powder is examined. Along with the rise of air pressure from $0.1kg/cm^2$ to $3kg/cm^2$, the average size of the droplet-shaped particles decreases, while the particle size distribution becomes more regular. When the air pressure increases from $0.1kg/cm^2$ to $1kg/cm^2$, the average size of the dropletshaped particles, which is around 30-50 nm, shows hardly any change. When the air pressure increases up to $3kg/cm^2$, the average size of the droplet-shaped particles decreases to 30 nm. For the independent generated particles, when the air pressure is at $0.1kg/cm^2$, the average particle size is approximately 100 nm; when the air pressure increases up to $0.5kg/m^2$, the average particle size becomes more than 100 nm, and the surface structure becomes more compact; when the air pressure increases up to $1kg/cm^2$, the surface structure is almost the same as in the case of $0.5kg/cm^2$, and the average particle size is around 80- 100 nm; when the air pressure increases up to $3kg/cm^2$, the surface structure becomes incompact compared to the cases of other air pressures, and the average particle size is around 80-100 nm. Along with the rise of air pressure from $0.1kg/cm^2$ to $0.5kg/cm^2$, the XRD peak intensity slightly decreases, and the specific surface area increases. When the air pressure increases up to $1kg/cm^2$ and $3kg/cm^2$, the XRD peak intensity increases, while the specific surface area also increases.

Fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) has been used as a representative transparent conductive oxide (TCO) in various optoelectronic applications, including light emitting diodes, solar cells, photo-detectors, and electrochromic devices. The FTO plays an important role in providing electron transfer between active layers and external circuits while maintaining high transmittance in the devices. Herein, we report the effects of substrate rotation speed on the electrical and optical properties of FTO films during ultrasonic spray pyrolysis deposition (USPD). The substrate rotation speeds were adjusted to 2, 6, 10, and 14 rpm. As the substrate rotation speed increased from 2 to 14 rpm, the FTO films exhibited different film morphologies, including crystallite size, surface roughness, crystal texture, and film thickness. This FTO film engineering can be attributed to the variable nucleation and growth behaviors of FTO crystallites according to substrate rotation speeds during USPD. Among the FTO films with different substrate rotation speeds, the FTO film fabricated at 6 rpm showed the best optimized TCO characteristics when considering both electrical (sheet resistance of 13.73 Ω/□) and optical (average transmittance of 86.76 % at 400~700 nm) properties with a figure of merit (0.018 Ω^-1).

Changes in greenhouse temperature and solar radiation due to fogging and shading were monitored during hydroponics in high temperature in summer season. Experiment 1 consists of four treatments, namely, Control, Shading, Fogging, and Fogging + Shading based on sunny days August. For Experiment 2, two melon cultivars of 'Dalgona' and 'Sopoong gaza' were cultivated in summer of 2020 using Fogging + Shading with the best result for temperature reduction effect from Experiment 1. As a result of Experiment 1, the effect of Fogging + Shading on temperature reduction was apparent where the inside was about 4℃ (as the lowest temperature) lower than the outside. Fogging + Shading showed the inside was 2-4℃ lower than the outside, and Fogging or Shading treatments had little difference, compared to the Control where the internal temperature of greenhouse was 3-4℃ higher than the external. For solar radiation changes between greenhouse inside and outside, the internal change was in a similar pattern between Fogging and Control, and between Shading and Fogging + Shading, respectively. In case of the Fogging treatment (similar with the Control) only the effect of solar radiation reduction as influenced by plastic greenhouse covering materials was examined. The Fogging + Shading had a very similar change in solar radiation to the Shading. Based on these results, Experiment 2 was conducted in summer of 2020 and resulted in a temperature reduction effect of about 3.9℃ according as the inside of air-conditioned greenhouse was kept 32.4℃ when the maximum temperature of the outside reached 36.3℃ in August during the cultivation period. In addition, the quality of melon fruit was good (1.3-1.5 kg of fruit weight, 12.6-13.3 of soluble solids content. In the case of using Fogging + Shading cooling treatment, it can bring about the effect of reducing the temperature during the high temperature in summer, and normal growth of melon and fruit harvesting were possible.
