The process of energy separation in a low Pressure vortex tube with compressed air as a work-ing medium is studied in detail. Experimental data of the temperature of the cold and hot air leaving the vortex tube are presented. The variation of the maximum wall temperature along the inner surface of the vortex tube and the temperature distribution in a vortex tube provide useful information about the location of the stagnation point of the flow field at the axis of the vortex tube. Analysis of the results enabled to find the optimum length of the vortex tube, the optimum shape of the Throttle and the usefulness of the Sleeve. In this study Outer tube is used for the exhaust application. The hot gas flow is turned 180$^{\circ}$and passes the out-side of the vortex tube a second time heating it. From this geometric setup of a vortex tube He effects of energy separation and the prediction of the ignition of Diesel Soot is presented by experimental data.

In this study, using a wet chemical process, we evaluate the effectiveness of different solution concentrations in removing layers from a solar cell, which is necessary for recovery of high-purity silicon. A 4-step wet etching process is applied to a 6-inch back surface field(BSF) solar cell. The metal electrode is removed in the first and second steps of the process, and the anti-reflection coating(ARC) is removed in the third step. In the fourth step, high purity silicon is recovered by simultaneously removing the emitter and the BSF layer from the solar cell. It is confirmed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy(ICP-MS) and secondary ion mass spectroscopy(SIMS) analyses that the effectiveness of layer removal increases with increasing chemical concentrations. The purity of silicon recovered through the process, using the optimal concentration for each process, is analyzed using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy(ICP-AES). In addition, the silicon wafer is recovered through optimum etching conditions for silicon recovery, and the solar cell is remanufactured using this recovered silicon wafer. The efficiency of the remanufactured solar cell is very similar to that of a commercial wafer-based solar cell, and sufficient for use in the PV industry.

In this study, we investigate the relationship between the peeling behavior of the backsheet of a photovoltaic(PV) module and its surface temperature in order facilitate removal of the backsheet from the PV module. At low temperatures, the backsheet does not peel off whereas, at high temperatures, part of the backsheet remains on the surface of the PV module after the peeling process. The backsheet material remaining on the surface of the PV module is confirmed by X-ray diffraction(XRD) analysis to be poly-ethylene(PE). Differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) is also performed to investigate the interfacial characteristics of the layers of the PV module. In particular, DSC provides the melting temperature($T_m$) of laminated ethylene vinyl acetate(EVA) and of the backsheet on the PV module. It is found that the backsheet does not peel off below the $T_m$ of ethylene of EVA, while the PE layer of the backsheet remains on the surface of the PV module above the $T_m$ of the PE. Thus, the backsheet is best removed at a temperature between the $T_m$ of ethylene and that of PE layer.

Compared to other oil/water separation methods, oil/water separation membranes have low energy costs and higher performance levels. Superhydrophilicity and underwater superoleophobicity are factors that are most vital in developing effective oil/water separation membrane. In addition, antifouling property and biodegradability are also factors that have to be considered in developing the membranes. In this review, studies which have enhanced the oil/water separation efficiency by modifying the chemistry and morphology of the surface of the membrane are discussed.

Hydrogen isotopes can be categorized into light hydrogen, heavy hydrogen, and tritium based on the number of neutrons, each of which is used in specific fields. Specifically, deuterium is of interest in the electronics industry, nuclear energy industry, analytical technology industry, pharmaceutical industry, and telecommunications industry. Conventional methods such as cold distillation, thermal cycling absorption processes, Girdler sulfide processes, and water electrolysis have their own advantages and disadvantages, leading to the need for alternative technologies with high separation and energy efficiency. In this context, membrane-based hydrogen isotope separation is one of the promising solutions to reduce energy consumption. In this review, we will present the state-of-the-art in hydrogen isotope separation using membranes and their operating principles. The technology for separating hydrogen isotopes using membranes is just beginning to be conceptualized, and many challenges remain to be overcome. However, if achieved, the economic benefits are expected to be significant. We will discuss future research directions for this purpose.

Vortex tube is the device that can separate small particles from the compressed gas, as well as compressed gas into hot and cold gas. Due to energy and particle separation ability, a vortex tube can be used as the main component of the $CO_2$ absorption device. In this study, experimental approach has been performed to analyze the energy separation characteristics of the vortex tube. To obtain the preliminary design data, energy separation characteristics of the vortex tube has been tested for orifice diameter, nozzle area ratio, and tube length. As a result, the orifice diameter is the major factor of the vortex tube design. The nozzle area ratio and tube length have a minor effect on the energy separation performance. For Dc=0.6D, AR=0.14~0.16, and L=16D, maximum energy separation has been occurred. The result from this study can be used as the basic design data of the $100Nm^3$/hr class vortex tube applied to the $CO_2$ absorption device. Compared with the $CO_2$ absorption process containing an absorption tower, the process with a vortex tube is expected to have a huge advantage of saving the installation space and the operating cost.

Important factor in designing a breakaway sign support is the velocity change of the impact vehicle. It is measured from the crash test or can be calculated by 3-D Finite Element Analysis. It can also be calculated with relative ease utilizing energy and momentum conservation. In this paper a formula to calculate the velocity change of a car during the time of impact against a small sign is derived utilizing the energy and momentum balance. Using the formula, parametric studies were conducted to find that impact speed, separation force and Breakaway Fracture Energy(BFE) of the posts which represent the degree of fixedness to the foundation are the important factor to vehicle's speed change. It is shown that speed change is larger in the lower speed impact and to the posts with large separation force and BFE.

vortex tube는 간단한 구조의 관을 이용하여 어떠한 화학작용이나 연소작용 없이 압축유체를 저온 및 고온부분으로 분리하는 에너지 분리장치이다. 금속학자 Georges Joseph Ranque에 의해 vortex tube의 에너지분리 현상이 발견된 후 vortex tube는 공작기계에 의한 금속가공에 있어서 가공물의 열변형을 막기 위한 국소냉각, 금형제품의 급속냉각 또는 냉각복(air cooling jacket)에 사용하거나 공기공급식 호흡보호구의 공기공급시스템에 많이 활용되고 있다. vortex tube를 이용한 냉각복 및 호흡보호구는 소형, 경량으로서 근로자의 직접적인 조작이 간단하고, 열기가 신체에 직접적으로 닿지 않아 안전하고, 냉각효율이 높을 뿐만 아니라 매우 경제적이어서 그 이용률이 점차 확대될 전망이다.
