Polyalphaolefin (PAO) is a synthetic lubricant that is superior to mineral-based lubricants in the terms of physical and chemical characteristics such as low pour point, high viscosity index (VI), and thermal and oxidation stability. Several kinds of PAOs have been synthesized by using 1-pentene, 1-hexene, 1-octene, or 1-dodecene as monomer with three kinds of aluminum-based Lewis acid catalysts via cationic polymerization. The control of the catalytic performance and physical properties of PAO such like molecular weight, kinematic viscosity, pour point, and viscosity index was done by changing polymerization parameters. The alkyl aluminum halide-based catalysts show better catalytic activity than that of the conventional $AlCl_3$ catalyst. The microstructure of PAO was investigated by means of TOF-MS (time of flightmass spectroscopy) analysis in order to elucidate the correlation between the performances of the lubricant (VI, pour point) and the molecular structure of PAO. The VI of PAO increases with increases in the carbon number of ${\alpha}$-olefin. In other words, the performances of PAO as a lubricant strongly depended on the branch length of PAO.

Monodisperse microparticles has been particularly enabling for various applications in the encapsulation and delivery of pharmaceutical agents. The microfluidic devices are attractive candidates to produce highly uniform droplets that serve as templates to form monodisperse microparticles. The microfluidic devices that have micro-scale channel allow precise control of the balance between surface tension and viscous forces in two-phase flows. One of its essential abilities is to generate highly monodisperse droplets. In this paper, a microfluidic approach for preparing monodisperse polycaprolactone (PCL) microparticles is presented. The microfluidic devices that have a flow-focusing generator are manufactured by soft-lithography using polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). The crucial factors in the droplet generation are the controllability of size and monodispersity of the microdroplets. For this, the volumetric flow rates of the dispersed phase of oil solution and the continuous phase of water to generate monodisperse droplets are optimized. As a result, the optimal flow condition for droplet dripping region that is able to generate uniform droplet is found. Furthermore, the droplets containing PCL polymer by solvent evaporation after collection of droplet from device is solidified to generate the microparticle. The particle size can be controlled by tuning the flow rate and the size of the microchannel. The monodispersity of the PCL particles is measured by a coefficient of variation (CV) below 5%.

아주작은 Reynolds수 조건하의 나선형 미세입자가 갖는 저항 및 이동계수를 계산하 는 일반적인 방법을 논하였다. 이러한 문제의 해를 구하기 위해서는 입자의 중심선을 따라 분포되어 있는 stokeslet으로 수식화된 유동장을 필요로 한다. 입자에 작용하는 수동력학적 힘과 토오크는 이러한 stokeslet의 적분에 의하여 구할 수 있는데 유동특성에 따라 2계 이상 의 텐서에 비례한다. Johnson에 의하여 유도된 적분방정식은 LU-분해법을 사용하여 해를 구하였다. 해석 결과의 정확성은 침상체를 모델로 하여 Brenner의 엄밀해와 비교하였으며, 일치된 결과를 얻었다.

보일러에서 연소된 후 배출된 가스는 탈황목적으로 설치된 흡수탑 내에 유입되어 Slurry Spray Nozzle에서 분사된 Limestone Slurry에 의해 배기가스중의 SO$_2$를 흡수한 다음 반응조로 떨어지게 되지만 분사된 액적의 일부는 배기가스의 압력에 의하여 같은 유동 방향으로 미세한 Mist의 형태로 배기가스와 함께 흡수탑의 Outlet Duct를 통해 빠져나간다. 이 Mist(액적크기 40 $\mu\textrm{m}$이하)에는 고형 성분이 함유되어 있는데 보통 Chloride농도가 높아 탈황설비 후단 (duct, GGH, Stack)에 plugging, 부식 등의 문제를 유발하므로 Spray Header상부에서 Mist Eliminator를 설치하여 Mist를 제거하도록 한다.(중략)

Granular Bed Filter에서의 미세입자 제거에 대한 연구, 특히 정전기력을 이용한 미세입자의 포집효율에 관한 연구는 수많은 연구자들에 의해 수행되어 왔으나, 이론식 내의 입자들의 관성, 유동장 그리고 입자에 작용하는 전기력의 복합성 때문에 직접적인 일반 해를 구하기가 어려운 것이 사실이다. 정전기력을 이용한 입자의 여과특성 및 효율에 대한 이론적 연구는 주로 외부 전기장을 주었을 경우와 포집체와 입자가 모두 대전되었을 경우를 중심으로 수행되어 왔다. (중략)

Recently, the next-generation advanced flow visualization techniques such as holographic PIV, dynamic PIV, echo-PIV, micro/nano-PIV, and X-ray PIV have been introduced. These advanced measurement techniques have a big potential as the core technology for analyzing outmost thermo-fluid flows in future. These would be indispensable in solving complicated thermo-fluid flow problems not only in the industrial fields such as automotive, space, electronics, aero- and hydro-dynamics, steel, and information engineering, but also in the research fields of medical science, bio-medical engineering, environmental and energy engineering etc. Especially, NT (Nano Technology) and BT (Bio Technology) strongly demand these advanced measurement techniques, because it is impossible for conventional measurement methods to observe most complicated nano- and bio-fluidic phenomena. In this presentation, the basic principle of these high-tech flow visualization techniques and their practical applications which cannot be resolved by conventional methods, such as blood flows in a micro-tube, in vivo analysis of micro-circulation, and flow around a living body will be introduced as a blue ocean strategy.

In this paper, we have described the microchannel fluid behavior in a slot between rotating curvilinear surfaces of revolution using micropolar fluid theory. ]n order to solve this problem, we have used boundary layer equations and applied non-zero values of the microrotation vector on the wall. The results are compared with the corresponding flow problems for Newtonian fluid. Results show that both the velocity distribution and the microrotation component distribution for a micropolar fluid are lower than that of a Newtonian fluid.

The x-ray micro-imaging technique was employed to measure the size and velocity of micro-bubbles moving in an opaque tube simultaneously. Phase contrast images were obtained at interfaces of micro-bubbles between water and air due to different refractive index. Micro-bubbles of $20\~120{\mu}m$ diameter moving upward in an opaque tube $(\phi=2.7mm)$ were tested. For two different working fluids of tap water and DI water, the measured velocity of micro-bubbles is roughly proportional to the square of bubble size.
