투명전극은 디스플레이, 태양전지와 같은 광전자 소자에 필수적이며, 지금까지 개발된 재료 중에는 ITO가 가장 투명하면서 전기전도도가 높고 생산성도 좋기 때문에 투명전극의 재료로 사용하고 있다. ITO는 낮은 비저항(${\sim}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$) 과 높은 투과율 (~85 %), 상대적으로 넓은 밴드갭 에너지 (3.5 eV) 의특성과 같이 뛰어난 전기적 광학적 특성에 반해서 높은 원자재 가격, 불안정한 공급량 등으로 인한 문제점이꾸준히 제기되고 있다. 따라서 $In_2O_3$:Sn, ZnO:Al, ZnO:Ga, ZnO:F, ZnO:B, TiN 등과 같은 물질들로대체하려는 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. ZnO는 ITO보다원자재의 수급이 원활하기 때문에 원가가 낮으며, 상대적으로 낮은 온도에서도 제작이 가능하다. 또한 화학적으로 안정적이므로 ZnO에 Al, Ga 등의 3족 원소를 도핑함으로써 낮은 비저항의 박막 제작이 가능하고, ITO 박막과 비교하여 etching이 쉬우며 기판과의 접착성이 좋으며, sputtering 공정시 plasma 분위기에서의 안정성이 뛰어나고 박막증착율이 높기 때문에 투명전극으로 적합한 재료이다. 본 연구에서는 cylindrical type의 Aldoping된 ZnO single target을 사용하여 박막 증착 압력의 변화를 주어 유리기판 위에 DC sputtering을 하였다. Fieldemission scanning electron microscope (FESEM)을 통해 ZnO:Al 박막의 표면의 형상과 두께를 확인하였으며, X-ray diffraction (XRD) 분석을 통해 박막의 결정학적 특성을 관찰하였다. 투명전극용 물질로서 ZnO:Al 박막의 적합성 여부를 확인하기 위하여 Van der Pauw 방법을 이용하여 박막의 비저항, 전자 이동도, 캐리어 농도를 측정하였으며, 박막의 기계적 성질 및 표면 접착성을 확인하기 위하여 nano-indentaion 분석을 하였다. 또한 UV-vis spectrophotometer를 이용하여 ZnO:Al 박막의 투과율을 분석하여 투명전극으로의 응용 가능성을 확인하였다.

The jet structure issuing from a conventional convergent nozzle of variable expansion rate is compared with the result from the nozzle of a constant expansion rate using a normal type annular slit. In experiments, to investigate the jet characteristics between the two cases of jet, the mean velocity of nozzle exit is fixed to be 90m/s, the pressures along the jet axis and radial directions are measured by a scanning valve system moving with 3-axis auto-traverse unit, and the velocity distribution obtained by calculation from the measured static and total pressures is compared. Also to obtain the highly stable and convergence jets, it is turned out that the flow through a nozzle of constant expansion rate using the Coanda effect with an annular slit is the most preferable than that case through variable expansion rate nozzle. Furthermore, it is found that the pressure drop along the nozzle for the constant expansion rate nozzle is small relatively against to the case of variable expansion rate nozzle.

Canoes are usually made from wood or FRP. However, today environment-friendly materials are preferred, and hulls made of FRP are prohibited in some countries. Polyethylene can be recycled and so is suitable for synthetic canoe construction. We used 3D Boat-Design to determine the hydrostatic properties of the canoe. Flow-structure coupled analysis was performed using ANSYS Workbench R12.1. The hull pressure and passenger weight were considered as canoe loading factors. The key parameters for the canoe are the design variables. The constraints are as follows: (1) The maximum stress must not exceed 50% of the polyethylene yield stress; and (2) the canoe weight must not exceed 50 kg. The optimal structural conditions were obtained by the response optimization process. The components of the canoe hull were manufactured from polyethylene pipes and joined by thermal fusion methods. Tests showed that the polyethylene canoe had better performance than existing canoes.

Transparent and conducting Sb-doped $SnO_2$ thin films were prepared by rf magnetron sputtering technology. But it showed a serious damage phenomenon on the surface of as-deposited films. In order to avoid a damage caused in the substrate center and location facing to target erosion, a ring plate of masking glass was installed at 1.5 cm above target surface. The uniformity and electrical characteristic of $SnO_2$ thin films were evaluated by the control of optimal conditions in the magnetron sputtering operation such as rf power, sputtering gas pressure, and substrate temperature. In the experimental results using the operating conditions, the optimum temperature, which produced uniform and damageless films, shifted with the change of gas pressure. The rate was about $100^{\circ}C$/5 mTorr at rf power of 50 W Similarly, the optimum temperature in compensation for an increase of rf power shifted down to a proper rate.

In order to investigate the characteristics of pressure drainage for geotextile, small-scale model tests were carried out for the horizontal and vertical geotextile drain to accelerate consolidation of foundation under embankment for the purpose of foundation reinforcement. According to the result of this study, the accumulative drainage discharge is found to increase as compressive stress of geotextile increases with logarithmic function. The drainage discharge under each step of compressive stress linearly increases with the increase of hydraulic head and its increasing rate is smaller when the compressive stress is higher. The drainage discharge shows to be greater when the number of geoteztile layers is more and the foundation material is finer. The relationship between transmissivity of geogextile and drainage discharge has positive correlation and the rate of increase is appeared to be the same regardless of foundation material and hydraulic head. And it proves that the drainage capacity of geotextile drain is determined by the transmissivity of geoteztile.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate landscape characteristics of watersheds in the Nakdong River Basin for identifying the groups of watershed with similar landcover patterns by using Geographic Information System and statistical technique. According to the results based on the cluster analysis using cluster analysis tool in the ArcGIS 8.3 program, 22 sub-watersheds were classified into three types; "Forest watershed", "Agriculture watershed", and "Urban watershed". In the forest watershed that has the least potential of ecological disturbances by human, a forest management approach based on geographic conditions and coverage types, etc., should be developed to sustain the ecological and environmental functions of forest. For the agriculture watershed, environmental-friendly agricultural techniques should be performed in the particular enhancement of riparian buffer zone to the prevent direct inflow of soils, fertilizers, and other chemicals into the stream network. Finally, in the urban watershed, an environmental-friendly plan that may increase the ratio of pervious surface and amount of green-space to should be reserved.

단분산 결정질 실리콘 나노입자 (<10 nm)는 양자점 효과로 인한 선택적 파장 흡수가 가능하므로 태양전지 분야에 응용 가능성이 크다. 특히 입경의 크기가 작아지면 부피대비 표면적이 넓어지기 때문에 태양빛 흡수 면적이 증가한다. 따라서 입자의 크기는 태양전지에서 효율을 결정하는 중요한 요소 중 하나이다. 이러한 이유에서 plasma arc synthesis, laser ablation, pyrolysis 그리고 PECVD (Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition) 등이 실리콘 나노입자를 합성하는데 연구되어 왔으며, 특히 PECVD는 입자 생성과 동시에 균일한 증착이 이루어질 수 있기 때문에 태양전지 제작 시 공정 효율을 높일 수 있다. PECVD를 이용한 나노입자 합성에서 입경을 제어하는데 중요한 전구물질은 Ar과 SiH4가스이다. Ar 가스는 ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma) 챔버 내부에 가해준 전력을 통해 가속됨으로써 분해되어 Ar plasma가 생성된다. 이는 공급되는 SiH4가스를 분해시켜 핵생성을 유도하고, 그 주위로 성장시킴으로써 실리콘 나노입자가 합성된다. 이때 중요한 변수 중 하나는 핵생성과 입자성장시간의 조절을 통한 입경제어 이다. 또한 공급되는 가스의 유량은 입자가 생성될 때 필요한 화학적 구성비를 결정하므로 입경에 중요한 요소가 된다. 마지막으로 공정압력은 챔버내부의 plasma 구성 요소들의 평균 자유 행로를 결정하여 SiH4가 분해되어 입자가 생성되는 속도와 양을 제어한다. PECVD를 이용한 실리콘 나노입자 형성의 주요 변수는 RF pulse, 가스(Ar, SiH4, H2)의 유량, Plasma power, 공정압력 등이 있다. 본 연구에서는 RF (Radio Frequency) PECVD방법을 이용하여 실리콘 나노입자를 만드는데 필요한 여러 변수들을 제어함으로써 이에 따른 입경분포 차이를 연구하였다. 또한 SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy)과 SMPS (Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer)를 이용하여 각 변수에 따라 생성된 나노입자의 입경과 농도를 분석하였다. 이 중 plasma power에 따른 입경분포 측정 결과 600W에서 합성된 실리콘 나노입자가 상당히 단분산 된 형태로 나타남을 확인할 수 있었고 향후 다른 변수의 제어, 특히 DC bias 전압과 열을 가함으로써 나노입자의 결정성을 확인하는 추가 연구를 통해 태양전지 제작에 응용 할 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

This paper was analyzed for a sealing characteristics of single lip contact type o-ring and multiple lip contact type packing for a swivel joint using the finite element method. According to the FE analysis, a conventional o-ring produces a maximum contact normal stress of 2.5MPa for a supplied LP gas pressure of 1.8MPa, which is related to the sealing performance. But, a sealing performance of newly invented multi-lip packing produces a maximum contact normal stress of 3.01MPa, which is 20.4% higher than that of a conventional o-ring. And an extrusion of a conventional o-ring, which is strongly related to the sealing endurance safety, was occurred at a supplied gas pressure of 1.62MPa. But, a multi-lip packing does not produce up to the gas pressure of 1.8MPa. This means that a new type of multi-lip packing may have excellent sealing characteristics because of no extrusion for high gas pressure. Thus, multi-lip packing with multiple lip contacts may be useful for high sealing and endurance safety compared to that of the conventional o-ring with a single lip contact.

A tapered production tubing with two different inner diameters has been suggested to increase production rates. In this research, various tapered tubing combinations are taken into account and possible tubing combinations are proposed to satisfy each objective. In previous studies, production enhancement was the main goal. However, this research also considers flow stability by analyzing tubing pressure traverse, liquid holdup, and operating conditions. For a reservoir assumed in this research, a tapered tubing of, 4.5 inch inner diameter(ID) and 2000 ft in length in the lower part and 5.5 inch ID and 8000 ft in the upper part, shows the highest net present value. Compared to a mono tubing, tapered tubings enable various tubing designs because they have smaller differences in frictional pressure loss. It is important to maintain low liquid holdup to prevent liquid loading. Smaller ID of tapered tubing in the lower part enables to achieve the object. In conclusion, it is identified that various tubing designs are achievable from the analyses of overall production operations depending on purposes specified.

The objectives of this paper are to study the use of geotextile tribes for dewatering high water content sludges and sediments and to evaluate their feasibility and affecting fsctors. To accomplish these objectives, pressure filtration tests were conducted on woven geotextile (Geotex$\circledR$ 46T and 1212T) fir high water content materials with a modified experimental apparatus. Test results indicate that 1) the filter cake formed on the inside of the geotextile tube is the major contributor to the retention of fine particles, but also causes a decrease in permeability, 2) controlling the formation of the filter cake and thus achieving a balance between soil retention and permeability is vital to a successful project, and 3) geotextiles, sludge properties, and filtration pressures have some effects on the dewatering efficiency and dewatering rate.
