금(Au) 또는 은(Ag) 금속 나노입자의 모양, 크기, 분포 상태를 조절하여 가시광선과 적외선, 자외선 영역에서 강한 표면 플라즈몬 효과을 이용할 수 있는데, 최근 이러한 금속 나노입자의 표면플라즈몬 효과를 이용하여 태양광 소자의 성능을 향상시키는 연구가 매우 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 그 중, 높은 효율과 낮은 제작비용 그리고 간단한 공정과정의 장점을 갖고 있어서 크게 주목 받고 있는 염료감응태양전지에서도 금(Au) 또는 은(Ag) 금속 나노입자을 이용하기 위한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 그 예로, Au가 코팅된 $TiO_2$ 기반의 염료감응태양전지구조를 제작하여, 입사된 빛이 표면플라즈몬 효과를 통해, Au에서 여기된 전자들이 Au/$TiO_2$ 사에의 schottky 장벽을 통과하여 $TiO_2$의 전도대 전자들의 밀도가 증가하여, charge carrier generating rate을 높여 소자의 광변환 효율의 향상을 증명하였다. 이에 본 연구에서는, $TiO_2$보다 높은 전자 이동도(mobility)와 직선통로(direct path way)의 장점을 갖고 있는 ZnO nanorod에서의 charge carrier generating rate을 높일 수 있도록, 비교적 가격이 저렴한 Ag nanoparticle을 코팅하였다. ZnO nanorod 제작은 낮은 온도에서 간단하게 성장시킬 수 있는 hydrothermal 방법을 이용하였다. 기판위에 RF magnetron 스퍼터를 이용하여 AZO seed layer를 증착한 후, zinc nitrate $Zn(NO_3)_2{\cdot}6H_2O$과 hexamethylentetramines (HMT)으로 혼합된 용액을 사용해 ZnO nanorods를 성장시켰다. 이 후, Ag를 형성할 수 있도록 열증기증착법을 이용하여 코팅하였다. Ag의 증착시간에 따른 ZnO nanorods에서의 코팅된 구조와 형태를 관찰하기 위해 field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM)을 이용하여 측정하였으며, 결정성을 조사하기 위해 X-ray diffraction (XRD)을 이용하여 분석하였다. 또한 입사된 빛에 의해, 여기된 ZnO 전도대 전자들이 다시 재결합을 통해 방출되는 photoluminescence 양을 scanning PL 장비를 통해 측정하여 Ag가 코팅된 ZnO nanorod의 광특성을 분석하였다.

This study undertook initial investigations into the carbonation of chlorine bypass dust, aiming to apply it as a raw material for cement and as an admixture for concrete. Various experimental methods, including XRD(X-ray diffraction), XRF(X-ray fluorescence), and particle size distribution analyses, were employed to verify the physical and chemical properties of chlorine bypass dust, with and without water washing. The mineral carbonation extent of chlorine bypass dust was examined by considering the dust type, stirring temperature, and experiment duration. Notably, a higher degree of mineral carbonation was observed in water-washed bypass dust than its non-water-washed counterpart, indicating an elevated calcium content in the former. Furthermore, an augmented stirring temperature positively impacted the initial stages of mineral carbonation. However, divergent outcomes were observed over time, contingent upon the specific characteristics of dust types under consideration.

This study investigated the rheological properties of Calrose rice flour dispersions as well as the effects of different thawing methods (steamer, smart oven, and microwave oven) on quality characteristics of frozen turmeric rice. Apparent viscosity, consistency index, and yield stress significantly increased at higher rice flour concentrations. Magnitudes of storage modulus and loss modulus significantly increased with elevation of rice flour concentration. Frozen turmeric rice thawed using a steamer had the highest moisture content and largest size (length, width, and thickness) among all thawing methods. The L values of turmeric rice after thawing using a steamer was significantly higher than those of other thawing methods. The a value of turmeric rice after thawing using a steamer was significantly lower than those of other thawing methods. Textural properties (hardness, adhesiveness, springiness, cohesiveness, brittleness, and chewiness) of frozen turmeric rice after thawing using a steamer were significantly lower than those of other thawing methods. Therefore, it can be concluded that frozen turmeric rice after thawing using a steamer might be desirable for improvement of texture.

As a fundamental study to introduce the reliability-based design code, a statistical study is conducted for the material strength data collected from domestic construction sites. In order to develop a rational design code based on statistics and reliability theory, it is essential to obtain the statistical properties of material strength. Material strength data for concrete, reinforcing bars, and prestressing strands which are used in domestic construction sites are collected and statistically analyzed. Then, the statistical properties are compared with those used in the process of the reliability-based calibration of internationally leading design codes. The statistical properties of the domestic data are such that the bias factor is relatively uniform between 1.13 and 1.20 and the coefficient of variation is below 0.10. Reinforcing bar data show difference among different manufacturers but there is not much difference among re-bar diameters. In the case of tendons, which are high strength materials, both of the domestic and foreign data show smaller values of the bias factor and the coefficient of variation than those of concrete and re-bar. Statistical distribution of all the material strength can be properly assumed as normal, log-normal, or Gumbel distribution after analyzing the classified data by individual construction site and manufacturer rather than the mixed data obtained from different sources in order to express the individual distribution of each structure.

The lime and clay that used in the construction of the Tomb of King Muryeong and the Royal Tombs in Gongju are auxiliary materials, and are used joint and plaster materials for the wall to play a role of structural support. In this study, the homogeneity between the tombs and material characteristics were interpreted through quantitative analysis of lime and clay. As a result of microtexture and composition analysis, almost the same minerals were identified in each sample groups, and similar characteristics were shown in thermal analysis. Geochemically, it is confirmed that the behavior characteristics are very similar regardless of the tombs. The compositions is also confirmed high homogeneity in the diagrams of CaO-MgO-SiO₂, RO₂-(RO+R₂O) correlations, A-CN-K and A-CNK-FM triangles. Therefore, it is interpreted that the clay used for the construction of the tomb complex was supplied from around area, and the raw materials of lime were produced using shell fragments of oyster family based on mainly composed of calcite. It is interpreted that the raw materials of lime were supplied from middens along the west coast of down the Geumgang river in Korean peninsula, but the consideration of the supply site, needs to be cross-validated through stable isotope analysis, use of carbonate rock and reproduction experiments.

In general, the circulation path of the fluidized particles in a CFB (Circulating Fluidized Bed) boiler is such that the particles entrained from a combustor are collected by a cyclone and recirculated to the combustor via a sealpot which is one of non-mechanical valves. However, when a fluidized bed heat exchanger (FBHE) is installed to additionally absorb heat from the fluidized particles, some particles in the sealpot pass through the FBHE and then flow into the combustor. At this time, in the FBHE operated in the bubbling fluidization regime, if the heat flow is not evenly distributed by poor mixing of the hot particles (800~950 ℃) flowing in from the sealpot, the heat exchanger tubes would be locally heated and then damaged, and the agglomeration of particles could also occur by formation of hot spot. This may affect the stable operation of the circulating fluidized bed. In this study, the unevenness of heat flow arising from structural problems of the FBHE of the domestic D-CFB boiler was found through the operating data analysis and the CPFD (Computational Particle Fluid Dynamics) simulation using Barracuda VR. Actually, the temperature of the heat exchanger tubes in the FBHE showed the closest correlation with the change in particle temperature of the sealpot. It was also found that the non-uniformity of the heat flow was caused by channeling of hot particles flowing in from the sealpot. However, it was difficult to eliminate the non-uniformity even though the fluidizing velocity of the FBHE was increased enough to fluidize hot particles vigorously. When the premixing zone for hot particles flowing in from the sealpot is installed and when the structure is changed through the symmetrization of the FBHE discharge line for particles reflowing into the combustor, the particle mixing and the uniformity of heat flow were found to be increased considerably. Therefore, it could be suggested that the structural modification of the FBHE, related to premixing and symmetric flow of hot particles, is an alternative to reduce the non-uniformity of the heat flow and to minimize the poor particle mixing.

To protect the ocean environment, the use of liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers, bunkering ships, and fueled ships is increasing. Recently, Korean shipbuilders have developed and supplied a partial reliquefaction facility for boil-off-gas (BOG). Despite reasonable insulation, heat leakage in vessel storage tanks causes LNG to be continuously evaporated as BOG. This research analyzed the maximum liquid yield rate for various partial reliquefaction systems (PRS) and considered related factors affecting yields. The results showed a liquid yield of 48.7% from an indirect PRS system (heat exchanges between cold flash gas and compressed natural gas), and 41% from a direct PRS system (BOG is mixed with flash gas and discharged from a liquid-vapor separator). The primary factor affecting liquid yield was heat exchanger effectiveness; the exchanger's efficiency and insulation characteristics directly affect the performance of BOG reliquefaction systems.

Environmental friendly UV-curable coatings, having excellent hardness, gloss, mar and chemical resistance, are commonly used for the wooden flooring coatings. Especially epoxy acrylate oligomers are chosen for the wooden flooring coatings, due to their thermal stability and fast curing. In this study, we investigated the effect of the acrylate functionality on the thermal stability and surface hardness. The thermal degradations of monomers, oligomer, photoinitiator and formulated coatings with different acrylate functionality were measured using a thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). And the surface hardness was also measured with a pendulum hardness tester to compare relationship between the thermal stability and the physical property. The cured coatings became thermally stable by crosslinking during UV-curing. Both the thermal stability and surface hardness of cured coatings were improved with increasing acrylate functionality.
