방사성 폐기물의 운반이나 장기 보관 시 방사성 물질의 침출을 차단하기 위한 유리화 기술을 실현하기 위해 이송식 아크 플라즈마에 대해 전산해석을 수행하였다. 본 연구에서는 운전전류나 아크길이와 같은 운전조건 변화에 따른 열플라즈마의 특성 변화 뿐만 아니라 150 kW급 고출력 이송식 아크 플라즈마의 최적 설계를 위하여 핵심 부품인 파일럿 노즐의 길이와 직경 변화에 따른 예상 용융영역을 전산해석 하여 방사성 폐기물의 유리화 기술을 상업적으로 이끌어내는데 기초 자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 노즐직경은 4, 5, 6 mm로 변화시켰으며, 길이는 2, 4, 6mm로 하였다. 이러한 다양한 설계조건에 대하여 운전변수로는 전류 200 A, 방전 기체인 알곤의 유량 15 L/min, 아크 길이 2 cm로 고정하였다. 전산해석 결과 노즐직경이 작을수록 아크압축 효과에 의해 중심부에서 최고 온도가 높은 열플라즈마 제트를 발생시킬 수 있으나, 반경방향으로 온도구배가 커서 고온 구간이 급격히 감소하는 경향이 예상되었다. 반면 노즐직경이 증가할수록 아크 압축효과는 줄어들지만 반경방향으로 온도가 완만히 감소하여 콘크리트가 대부분인 유리화 대상물질을 충분히 용융시킬 수 있는 $2,600^{\circ}C$ 이상의 고온 면적이 넓어지게 될 것으로 예상되었다. 또한, 노즐길이가 줄어들 경우 아크방전의 안정성은 다소 떨어 질 수 있으나 수 있으나 고온의 열플라즈마 제트가 반경방향으로 효과적으로 넓어 질 수 있음이 예측되었다. 따라서 고온 영역의 확장 관점에서 이송식 아크 플라즈마 토치를 제작할 경우 아크의 안정성을 유지하는 범위 내에서 파일럿 노즐의 직경을 크게 하고 길이는 짧게 하는 것이 효과적인 유리화를 위해 유리할 것으로 예상되었다.

$CO_2$를 $CH_4$와 열 및 전기화학적인 반응을 통해 고농도의 CO 및 $H_2$로 구성된 합성가스로 효율적으로 전환시키기 위해, 반응가스 주입용 간극형 노즐을 가진 비이송식 직류 열플라즈마 토치 시스템을 설계, 제작하고 다양한 조건에서 이 두 가스의 개질 실험을 수행하였다. 설계 제작된 간극형 노즐과 리액터 내 고온 반응 영역을 활용한 $CO_2$ 및 $CH_4$ 반응가스의 효율적인 처리를 통하여, 최고 70% 이상의 $CO_2$ 및 $CH_4$의 전환율과 최고 80% 이상의 CO 및 $H_2$선택도를 달성할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 또한, 상기 조건의 경우, 플라즈마 입력 전력 10.6 kW 대비 49 lpm 의 반응가스 처리량을 통하여 얻은 것으로 최고 2.5 mmol/kJ 이상의 Specific Energy Requirement (SER) 조건도 만족할 수 있음을 보였다. 특히, 제안된 막대 음극-반응 가스 주입구를 가진 양극 노즐 플라즈마 토치의 경우, $CH_4$ 반응가스를 음극에 직접 닿지 않도록 간극을 통해 주입하게 함으로써, 반응 가스 분해에 의한 음극 등 전극 부식을 최소화하면서도 고에너지 전자가 풍부한 아크 컬럼에 의해 $CO_2$ 및 $CH_4$의 전환 반응을 효율적으로 일으킬 수 있어 효율적인 $CO_2$ 및 $CH_4$ 개질을 위한 열플라즈마 토치 시스템의 개발이 기대된다.

Cylindrical stainless-steel/sodium heat pipe for a high-temperature application was manufactured and tested for transient and steady-state operations. Two layers of Stainless-steel screen mesh wick was inserted as a capillary structure. The outer diameter of the heat pipe was 12.7 mm and the total length was 250 mm. As thermal transport conditions, the effective transport length, the heat flux, the tilt angle and the operating temperature were varied. The heat was supplied by an electric furnace up to 1 kW and the cooling was performed by forced convection of air. The effective thermal conductivity and the thermal resistance were investigated as a function of heat flux, heat transport length, and vapor temperature. Typical range of the total thermal resistance was as low as $0.036^{\circ}C/W$ at $175.8\;kW/m^2$ of heat flux and $700^{\circ}C$ of operating temperature.

This study was focused on getting p-type copper-oxide thin-film semiconductors suitable for p-channel thin-film transistors. Vacuum thermal evaporation and thermal annealing were used to get copper-oxide thin-film semiconductor having properties adoptable as an active layer of thin-film transistors. n-type thin films having electron carrier density of about $10^{22}\;cm^{-3}$ before thermal annealing was converted to p-type thin films having hole carrier density of about $10^{16}\;cm^{-3}$ as the thermal annealing conditions were optimized.

이 논문에서는 태양발전과 저장을 위한 환경친화적 장치에 대하여 기술하였다. 컴퓨터 모델에 주안점을 두고 시스템의 최적 발전조건을 계산하였는데, 여기에는 작동유체 효율과 태양열 집열판의 크기와 효율 그리고 출력이 포함되어 있다. 영국과 멕시코의 기후조건들이 분석되고, 각 위도에 대한 신뢰 할만한 최근 기상자료가 컴퓨터 수치모사에 사용되었다. 결과를 보면, 연간 출력 4000kW.h를 얻기 위해서, 영국의 경우 시스템 설치에 필요한 집열 면적은 $92m^{\2}$이며, 멕시코의 경우에는 유사 모사조건하에서 동일한 출력을 얻기 위해서는 $48m^{\2}$의 집열면적이 필요하다. 터빈과 이송펌프, 발전기 등의 효율에 민감하여 약간의 효율향상이 있으면 집열 면적을 현저히 감소시킬 수 있다.

The use of Al alloys instead of fiber-reinforced plastic(FRP) in ship construction has increased because of the advantages of Al-alloy ships, including high speed, increased load capacity, and ease of recycling. This paper describes the effects of probe diameter on the optimum friction stir welding conditions of 5456-H116 alloy for leisure ship, measured by a tensile test. In friction stir welding using a probe diameter of 5 mm under various travel and rotation speed conditions, the best performance was achieved with a travel speed of 61 mm/min. Using a probe diameter of 6 mm, rotation speeds of 170-210 rpm, and a travel speed of 15 mm/min produced a rough surface and voids because of insufficient heat input produced by the low rotation speed. At 500-800 rpm, chips were observed, although there were no voids, and the weld surface was excellent. However, at 1100-2500 rpm, many chips were produced due to excessive heat input. Heat effects were very evident on the bottom. For a travel speed of 15 mm/min, heat input caused by friction increased as the rotation speed increased. The mechanical characteristics were degraded by accelerated softening due to increasing heat input.

Analysis of chloride penetration into concrete is performed considering the repeated wetting and drying conditions of tidal zone, by means of the developed finite element program which enables the diffusion-convection analysis to be conducted. Heat conduction and moisture diffusion are also included in the finite element analysis program in order that their effects to chloride penetration may be considered. For the efficiency of calculation, the analyses of temperature, relative humidity and free chloride concentration are conducted successively in that order, by treating the convection of chloride due to moisture diffusion as an source or sink term. By comparing the analysis result from finite element analysis, where main variable is a wetting and drying period, with the chloride profiles from ACI Life-365 method, it is shown that the Life-365 method gives an accurate result for the submerged zone but does not consider the differences of wetting and drying period. To obtain an accurate chloride profile in the tidal zone, it is confirmed that the diffusion-convection finite element analysis should be applied.

Characteristics of delamination factor and surface roughness by drilling condition for glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) composites were investigated in this paper. An expression to quantify the delamination factor was induced by using image pixels of the entry and the experimental drilling was accomplished by fabricating several GFRP specimens in condition of minimizing the effect of vibration and heat. A method for measuring 6 points average surface roughness was applied to acquire the more reliable roughness values. The experimental results showed that the delamination factor was decreased as the feed rate was increased and it was also slightly decreased as the cutting speed was increased. Also, it was investigated that the surface roughness at inner surface of drilled holes was increased as the feed rate was increased, whereas the roughness values were not affected by the cutting speed variation.

In an estuary, mixing and transport of contaminant sometimes occurs in the salt finger favorable condition (Hwang ang Rehmann, 2004). Linearized theory is applied to predict flow dynamics in salt finger favorable condition. The simulated results match well with previous laboratory experiments. When the density ratio is larger than 2, the heat and salt system shows $0.55{\sim}0.57$ as Turner (1967) found, and the salt and sugar system produces 0.87 of Griffiths (1980). As the ratio of molecular diffusivities of two scalars increases, the flux ratio increases. The flux and eddy diffusivity ratios decrease with increase of density ratio, and it takes longer time for flux ratio to be steady state at the higher density ratios.
