This study presents a prediction methodology of thermodynamic properties by using RK-PR Equation of State in a wide range of temperature and pressure conditions including both sub-critical and super-critical regions, in order to obtain thermophysical properties for hydrocarbon aviation fuels and their products resulting from endothermic reactions. The density and the constant pressure specific heat are predicted in the temperature range from 300 to 1000 K and the pressure from 0.1 to 5.0 MPa, which includes all of the liquid and gas phases and the super-critical region of three representative hydrocarbon fuels, and then compared with those data obtained from the NIST database. Results show that the averaged relative deviations of both predicted density and constant pressure specific heat are below 5% in the specified temperature and pressure conditions, and the major sources of the errors are observed near the saturation line and the critical point of each fuel.

The effects of additives such as zinc compounds in 4M KOH electrolyte of Al-air cell have been studied. Zinc compounds in electrolyte increased hydrogen evolution overpotential and TPC(tripotasium citrate)/CaO formed fine film on aluminum surface, and these additives decreased hydrogen evolution rate and corrosion rate of aluminum. These additives shifted the OCP in the positive direction on high purity aluminum(purity, 99.999%) and in the negative direction on Al No 1050(purity,99.5%). Addition of two or more additives resulted in the prevention or the reduction of corrosion rate and hydrogen evolution at OCP. As the overpotential on Al electrode increased, the hydrogen evolution rate decreased and the utilization of aluminum increased. At high current density$(>100mA/cm^2)$, TPC/CaO/ZnO additives increased the utilization of high purity aluminum up to that of aluminum alloys containing indium, gallium and thallium.

Carbon coils could be synthesized using $C_2H_2/H_2$ as source gases and $SF_6$ as an incorporated additive gas under thermal chemical vapor deposition system. The Ni layer on the $SiO_2$ substrate was used as a catalyst for the formation of the carbon coils. The characteristics (formation densities, morphologies, and geometries) of the as-grown carbon coils on the substrate with or without the $H_2$ plasma pretreatment process were investigated. By the relatively short time (1 minute) $H_2$ plasma pretreatment on the Ni catalyst layered-substrate prior to the carbon coils synthesis reaction, the dominant formation of the carbon microcoils on the substrate could be achieved. After the relatively long time (30 minutes) $H_2$ plasma pretreatment process, on the other hand, we could obtain the noble-shaped geometrical nanostructures, namely the formation of the numerous carbon nanocoils along the growth of the carbon microcoils. This noble-shaped geometrical nanostructure seemed to play a promising role as the good catalyst support for holding the very tiny Ni catalyst grains.

Earth outer core is composed of iron mainly with some diluent elements, which account for the observed ca. 10% density deficit compared to the pure iron. Among candidates as the light diluents, hydrogen and oxygen were selected, and the thermodynamic stability of the following reaction was calculated; hematite + hydrogen $\to$ goethite + iron. At ambient conditions, Gibb's free energy of this reaction is 12.62 kJ/mol. On increasing pressure at room temperature, it decreases to zero at 0.068 GPa. This energy decreases at constant rate down to 200 GPa, which shows -208.26 kJ/mol at that pressure. From these results, this chemical reaction prefers the reduction environment forming the iron element and iron oxyhydroxide, so possible presence of iron oxyhydroxide with iron at proto-core can not be ruled out.

The concentration of solute in a $NaBH_4$ solution is limited due to the low solubility of $NaBO_2$. The performance of a hydrogen generation system was evaluated using various concentrations of $NaBH_4$ solution. First, a self-hydrolysis test and a hydrogen generation test for 30 min were performed. The composition of $NaBH_4$ solution was selected to be 1 wt% NaOH + 25 wt% $NaBH_4$+74wt% $H_2O$ by considering the amount of hydrogen loss, stability of hydrogen generation, $NaBO_2$ precipitation, conversion efficiency, and the purpose of its application. A hydrogen generation system for a 200 W fuel cell was evaluated for 3 h. Although hydrogen generation rate decreased with time due to $NaBO_2$ precipitation, hydrogen was produced for 3 h (conversion efficiency: 87.4%). The energy density of the 200 W fuel cell system was 263 Wh/kg. A small unmanned aerial vehicle with this fuel cell system can achieve 1.5 times longer flight time than one flying on batteries.

Under the era of energy crisis, hydrogen energy is considered as one of the most potential alternative energies. Liquid hydrogen has much higher energy density per unit volume than gas hydrogen and is counted as the excellent energy storage method. In this study, Navier-Stokes equations based on 2-phase model were solved by using a computational fluid dynamics program and the liquefaction process of gaseous hydrogen passing through a cryogenic cooling tube was analyzed. The copper with high thermal conductivity was assumed as the material for cryogenic cooling tube. For different inlet velocities of 5 m/s, 10 m/s and 20 m/s for hydrogen gas, the distributions of fluid temperature, axial and radial velocities, and volume fractions of gas and liquid hydrogens were compared. These research results are expected to be used as basic data for the future design and fabrication of cryogenic cooling tube to transform the hydrogen gas into liquid hydrogen.

Compared to gaeous hydrogen, liquid hydrogen has approximately 1/800 volume, 800 times higher volumetric energy density at the same pressure, and the advantage of lower explosion risk and easier transportation than gaseous hydrogen. However, hydrogen liquefaction requires larger scale facility investment than simple compression storage method. Therefore, the research on energy-saving hydrogen liquefaction processes is highly necessary. In this study, helium/neon (mole ratio 80 : 20) refrigeration cycle was investigated as the main refrigeration process for hydrogen liquefaction. Process simulation for less energy consumption were carried out using PRO/II with PROVISION V10.2 of AVEVA. For hydrogen liquefaction, energy consumption was compared in three cases: Using a helium/neon refrigerant cycle, a SMR+helium/neon refrigerant cycle, and a C3-MR+helium/neon refrigerant cycle. As a result, the total power consumptions of compressors required to liquefy 1 kg of hydrogen are 16.3, 7.03 and 6.64 kWh, respectively. Therefore, it can be deduced that energy usage is greatly reduced in the hydrogen liquefaction process when the pre-cooling is performed using the SMR process or the C3MR process, which have already been commercialized, rather than using only the helium/neon refrigeration cycle for the hydrogen liquefaction process.

한TFT-LCD, Solar cell, 반도체 등에 사용되는 Si 박막은 주로 PECVD로 형성한다. 이 때 사용되는 원료 가스로 $SiH_4$가 있으며 대개 $H_2$로 희석해서 사용한다. 저온 증착의 경우 전자 충돌 해리과정을 이용하여 증착이 이루어지며 이 때 중간 생성물로 $SiH_3$, $SiH_2$와 고차유도체($Si_xH_y$)가 생성된다. 고밀도 플라즈마를 이용하는 경우에는 이들의 이온(양, 음)의 비율도 막질 형성에 중요한 요소가 된다. 본 발표에서는 안테나가 외부 및 내부에 있는 경우에 대해서 모델링하였으며 해리된 유도체의 비율은 $SiH_3$ > $SiH_2$의 순서였고 가스 조성비(수소 희석비), U-type 내장형 안테나와 기판 사이의 거리, 챔버 내의 펌핑 포트의 위치 등에 의한 차이가 플라즈마 온도 및 밀도의 균일도에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 수치 모델상의 가장 중요한 변수의 하나인 이온, 라디칼의 표면 재결합 상수는 문헌에서 보고된 값을 구하기 어려운 경우에는 가장 실제와 근접한 경향이 나타나는 값을 사용하였다. 이 부분은 분자 동력학 등의 기법을 이용하여 보다 상세한 데이터를 만들어 낼 수 있는 방법의 적용이 필요하다. 기본적인 $SiH_4$의 화학 반응식은 이원기[1]등의 데이터를 이용하였다. 계산 결과 중의 특이한 점의 하나는 고차 유도체인 $Si_2H_4$의 경우 중성보다 오히려 양이온의 밀도가 1 order이상 높았다. 내장형 Y-type 안테나의 경우 전력 흡수 밀도가 $10^7\;W/m^3$ 수준으로 높은 영역이 안테나 주변으로 나타났으며 안테나와 기판 사이의 거리와 압력에 따라서 기판에서의 균일도가 결정 되었다.

In this paper, a model is developed to simulate carbon/carbon composite fabrication using chemical vapor infiltration, considering density and porosity change in the preform and multi-step hydrocarbons reactions. The model considers the preform as a porous medium whose diffusion and flow properties changes due to the porosity. To verify the theoretical model, two numerical analyses were performed for the case that the flow inside the preform is zero and the case that the flow inside the preform is calculated by fluid mechanics. The numerical results showed good agreement with the experimental data.

기존의 저압 플라즈마에 비해 여러 장점을 가지는 중간압력 플라즈마 및 대기압 플라즈마는 수년전부터 많은 관심을 받고 있으며 다양한 응용분야에서 활발히 이용되고 있다. 기초과학으로서의 플라즈마 측면뿐만 아니라 플라즈마 응용의 결과들은 플라즈마의 특성에 따라 좌우되므로 플라즈마 진단 역시 최근 플라즈마 연구에 중요한 부분을 차지하고 있다. 일반적으로 플라즈마 내의 모든 화학적 반응 및 물리적 반응에 있어 전자가 결정적인 역할을 하기 때문에 플라즈마 내의 전자의 정보를 대표하는 지표인 전자온도($n_e$) 및 전자밀도($T_e$)의 측정이 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 대기압 플라즈마에서 중성원자와 전자의 상호작용에 의한 연속 방출광을 자외선-가시광 영역에서 측정하고, 이를 기반으로 $n_e$ 및 $T_e$를 측정하였다. 높은 압력에서 불완전 전리된 플라즈마는 이온화율이 낮고 중성원자의 밀도가 이온밀도보다 훨씬 높기 때문에 중성 제동복사(Neutral bremsstrahlung)의 방사도를 이용한 ne 및 Te의 측정이 가능하다. 특히 아르곤 대기압 플라즈마에서 측정된 연속 방출광 스펙트럼의 자외선 영역(280~450 nm)에서는 중성 제동복사에 의한 연속 방출광뿐만 아니라 수소분자에 의한 dissociative 연속 방출광이 함께 존재하는 것이 확인되어 최종적으로 두 연속 방출광을 고려하여 정확한 ne 및 Te를 측정할 수 있었다. 대기압 아르곤 축전결합방전에서 입력전력에 따라 전자온도는 2.5 eV로 유지되었으며, 전자밀도는 $(0.7-1.1){\times}10^{12}cm^{-3}$ 범위에서 $j_d{\propto}n_e{\propto}P_{rf}$ 관계를 따르며 변화하는 것이 관찰되었다.
