This article discusses about the droplet movement on the super-hydrophobic surface by the electro-wetting on dielectric and the effect of particles on the contact angle as well as the movement is investigated. The movement of droplet, driven by the principle of electro-wetting on dielectric, and the effect of particles are experimentally verified according to the driving voltage and different particles concentrations (fluorescent, charged particles). To increase the contact angle, the super-hydrophobic surface is fabricated and applied to the dielectric layer for the EWOD device. Then its performance is verified and discussed.

감압비등에 의한 미립화는 더 미세한 직경의 액적을 얻을 수 있고, 분무각이 증가하며, 더 좋은 혼합특성을 갖는 다는 점에서 단순 압력식 미립화와 차이가 난다. 감압비등이란 과열된 액체를 포화 압력 이하의 대기 중으로 분사하여 급격한 비등에 의해 이루어지는 미립화이다. 본 연구는 금속 연료를 이용한 추진기관의 산화제인 물 공급기술에 감압비등과정을 이용한 와류분무를 적용시키기 위해 수행됐다. 분열길이와 같은 거시적 특성은 Charge-Couple Device(CCD) 카메라를 이용해 측정하였고, Sauter Mean Diameter(SMD)와 SMD분포와 같은 미시적 특성은 Global Sizing Velocimetry(GSV) 시스템을 이용해 측정했다. 실험은 압력과 온도, 대류 속도를 변화시키며 진행했다.

In this study, the stability criteria of cosmeceuticals emulsion containing Flos Sophorae Immaturus extracts was established using the Box-Behnken design model (BBD-RSM). As optimization conditions of the emulsification using the BBD-RSM, the amount of surfactant and additive, and emulsification time and speed were used as quantitative factors while mean droplet size (MDS), viscosity and emulsion stability index (ESI) were used as reaction values. According to the result of BBD-RSM, optimum conditions for the emulsification were as follows; the emulsification time and speed of 17.8 min and 5505 rpm, respectively and amounts of the emulsifier and additive of 2.28 and 1.05 wt.%, respectively. Under these conditions, the MDS, viscosity, and ESI after 7 days from the reaction were estimated as 1875.5 nm, 1789.7 cP, and 93.8%, respectively. The average error value from our actual experiments for verifying the conclusions was below 5%, which is mainly due to the fact that the BBD-RSM was applied to the optimized cosmeceuticals emulsification.

The SLA (Stereolithography Apparatus) method is a type of 3D printing technique predicated on the transformation of liquid photocurable resin into a solid form through UV laser exposure, and its application is increasing in various fields. In this study, we conducted research to enhance the hydrophobicity and transparency of SLA 3D printing surfaces for microfluidic system production. The enhancement of surface hydrophobicity in SLA outputs was attainable through the application of hydrophobic coating methods, but the coating durability under different conditions varied depending on the type of hydrophobic coating. Additionally, to simultaneously achieve the required transparency and hydrophobic properties for the fabrication of microfluidic systems, we applied hydrophobic coatings to the proposed transparency enhancement method from prior research and compared the changes in contact angles. Teflon coating was proposed as a suitable hydrophobic coating method for the fabrication of microfluidic systems, given its excellent transparency and high coating durability in various environmental conditions, in comparison to titanium dioxide coating. Finally, we produced an Electrophoresis of Charged Droplet (ECD) chip, one of the digital microfluidics systems, using SLA 3D printing with the proposed Teflon coating method (Fluoropel 800). Droplet manipulation was successfully demonstrated with the fabricated chip, confirming the potential application of SLA 3D printing technology in the production of microfluidic systems.

In order to improve the performance of a free power turbine type gas turbine engine by injecting the atomized water into a compressor inlet., a study on Moisture Air Turbine (MAT) cycle was proposed. Compressor work by air-water mixtures in phase change was theoretically considered, and it was found that the water evaporation might reduce the compressor work. Cycle model calculations predicted that power increments of 16.2%, 14.9% and 12.6% by 1.0% water to the air flow rate at the compressor intake with rotational shaft speeds of 1000, 1210, 1350 rps were obtained, and also thermal efficiency due to the reduction of compressor work was improved.

In this paper, an experimental study was conducted to investigate the performance of the spherical ice particle production system which uses the technology of water spray in a vacuum chamber for increasing the heat transfer area. As a result, following conclusions were obtained. The diffusion-controlled evaporation model agreed relatively well with experiments. The spray flow rate influences the performance of the system rather than any other factors, for example, the spray nozzle position, the nozzle number. As the spray rate increases, the system efficiency increases. It is due to the entrainment of small droplets among the spray with the exhausted vapor. Thus the system should be designed and operated to prevent the entrainment. Assuming the compressor efficiency to be 70%, the COP of the system reaches highly up to 6 at a maximum spray rate. Under the conditions, however, the rigid ice layer is obtained because ice particles bond together with increase of the spray rate. Therefore, the spray rate should be controlled properly to make the spherical ice particles.

Nano-sized a-alumina with a narrow distribution was prepared by using Flame Spray Pyrolysis (FSP). The microemulsion of water in oil (W/O) was prepared to make ultrafine droplets for FSP process. Kerosene (fuel) as a continuos phase and Al(NO$_3$)$_3$$.$9$H_2O$ (oxidizer) aqueous solution as a dispersed phase were prepared for microemulsification. The microemulsion with dispersion stability was obtained by adjusting the composition of 80 vol% kerosene, 10 vol% aqueous solution, and 10 vol% emulsifying agent. Microemulsion was sprayed onto the flame by using two-fluid nozzle spray gun under the condition of 0.03 ㎫ air pressure. The synthesized products were $\alpha$-alumina phase with the size of 20 to 30 nm.

The rates of overall mass transfer of n-butyl acetate in the alkaline hydrolysis of n-butyl acetate were measured by using a mechanically agitated vessel in order to get the relationship between the mass transfer rates and experimental variables. The interfacial area between liquid-liquid heterogeneous phases could be obtained by comparing the theoretical values of reaction enhancement factor from an approximated solution of a diffusion equation based on the film theory with the experimental data.

This paper presents the spray characteristics of the simplex fuel nozzle with different working fluids for the gas turbine engine. Spray characteristics can be changed with viscosity, surface tension and density. In this research, water and test fluid type 2 which has similar characteristics of the kerosene are used as a working fluid. Spray visualization was performed by using ND-Yag laser and droplet size was measured by using PDPA(Phase doppler particle analyzer) system. The test results show that spray shapes and SMD distributions of two working fluids are similar at main spray region.

FPD (Flat Panel Display) 제조 공정에서 사용되는 패턴은 수 ${\mu}m$ 수준까지 감소하였으며, FPD의 크기는 급격하게 대형화 되여 현재 8세대(2200mm*2500mm)에 이르고 있다. 이에 따라, $1\;{\mu}m$ 이상의 크기를 갖는 오염입자에 의한 수율 저하를 극복하기 위한 세정효율의 향상 및 다량의 초순수 사용에 따른 폐수 발생으로 인한 환경오염, 또한 장비의 크기에 따른 공간 효용성 감소와 이에 따른 공정 비용의 증가 등의 어려움에 직면하고 있다. 따라서, 현장에서는 고효율, 저비용의 세정 공정 기술 개발에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이러한 문제점들을 해결 하고자 이류체 노즐 세정 장치와, 화학액 린스를 위한 초순수 Spray, 건조 공정에 해당하는 Air-knife, Halogen lamp로 구성된 소형화 된 고속 FPD(Flat Panel Display) 세정기에 대한 연구를 진행 하였다. 이류체 노즐은 초순수와 $N_2$ 가스를 내부에서 혼합하여 액적(Droplet)을 형성하여 고압으로 분사시키는 장치로서 화학액을 사용하지 않고 물리적인 방법으로 오염입자를 제거한다. Spray는 유기 오염입자 제거를 위한 오존수의 린스 공정을 위해 설치 하였다. 세정 후 표면에 남아있는 기판의 액막(water film)은 고압의 가스를 분사하는 Air-knife를 통해 제거하였으며, 고속 공정시 발생할 수 있는 Air-knife에서 제거하지 못한 잔류 액막을 Halogen lamp를 사용하여 효과적으로 제거함으로써, 물반점(water mark) 없는 건조 공정을 얻을 수 있었다. 실험에는 미세 입자의 정량적인 측정을 위하여 유리 기판 대신에 6인치 실리콘 웨이퍼(P-type (100))를 사용하였으며, > $\;1{\mu}m$ 실리카 입자를 스핀방식을 사용하여 정량적으로 균일하게 오염하였으며, 오염물의 개수 및 분포는 파티클 스캐너 (Surfscan 6200, KLA-Tancor, USA)를 사용하여 분포 및 개수를 정량적으로 측정 하였다. 이류체 노즐은 $N_2$ 가스의 압력과 초순수의 압력을 변화시켜 측정하여, 각각 0.20 MPa, 0.01 MPa에서 최적의 세정 결과를 얻을 수 있었으며, 건조 효율은 Air-Knife의 입사 각도와 건조면 간격, 할로겐 램프의 온도를 조절 하여 최적의 조건을 얻을 수 있었다.
