We applied a new charging system using the condensation and evaporation method to charge the submicron particles with a uniform charging performance. The monodispersed NaCl submicron particles were condensed by n-butanol vapor and grew up to micron droplets with a same size, regardless of their initial size. Those condensed droplets were charged in an indirect corona charger. The indirect corona charger consisted of the ion generation zone and the particle charging zone. In the ion generation zone, Ions were generated by corona discharge and some of them moved into the particle charging zone by a carrier gas and mixed with the condensed droplet. And finally, the charged and condensed droplets dried through an evaporator to shrink to their original size. The average charge and penetration rate of the particles before and after evaporation were measured by CPC and aerosol electrometer and compared with those of a conventional corona charger. The results showed that the average charge was $5\~7$ charges and the penetration rate was over $90\%$, regardless of the initial particle size.

In the present work, a numerical study of a horizontal falling film evaporator in a multi-effect distillation (MED) plant is performed. Tube bundles in the evaporator are described as porous media, and a volume-averaged method is applied. To calculate the fluid flow and phase change in the evaporator due to heat transfer in the system, FLUENT and user-defined functions (UDF) are used. To observe the performance of the evaporator under different operational conditions, tests are conducted for a steam mass flux ranging from 0.5 to 2.5 $kg/m^2s$ in the horizontal tube, for mass fraction of the noncondensable gas in the tube inlet ranging from 0% to 1%, and for film Reynolds numbers ranging from 100 to 1,000 for the falling film. The evaporation rate increases with the steam mass flux and Reynolds number. In contrast, the evaporation rate decreases by 0.87% with a 1% increase in the mass fraction of the noncondensable gas in the tube.

다중 효용관식 증발기는 보통의 증발기에서 응축하여 제거하는 증기를 다음 효용관의 가열원으로 재사용하는 것으로 그 자체로도 에너지 절감효과가 있는 것으로 알려져 있다[1,2,4]. 기계식증기 재압축 증발기는 보통 증발기에서 응축시켜 제거하는 발생 증기를 압축하여 고온의 증기로 만든 다음 가열원으로 재이용하는 장치로 이에 대한 효용은 문헌에 잘 나타나있다[3,4]. 여기서는 다중효용관과 증기 재압축기를 조합한 증발기 중에서 Forward feed 방식의 다중효응관에 증기 재압축기를 부착한 경우에 대하여 타당한 물질수지, 열수지, 전열 식, 상평형식을 소개하였다. 또한 압축기의 용량을 결정하기 위한 단열압축공정의 지배방정 식을 소개하였다. 원료의 조건, 효용관의 수 및 총전열온도차가 주어지면 상기의 지배방정식의 해를 구할 수 있는데. 본연구에서는 Gauss-Seidel의 연속치환법을 이용하였다. 이와 같이 지배방적식의 해를 구하면 효용관의 면적, 압축펌프의 용량, 각효용관 입출구의 조건 등이 계산된다. 다중효용관 기계식 증기 재압축 증발장치의 최적화를 위하여는 효용관의 전열면적당 가격과 압축펌프의 용량당 가격 그리고 펌프를 운전하는데 필요한 전력의 요금 등의 자료가 요구된다. 총전열온도차에 따른 운전비와 시설비의 합이 최소가 되는 점이 최적 총전열온도차가 되는데 이 점을 구할 때에는 수치적으로 안정한 이분법을 이용하였다.

정밀화학, 제약산업 등에 필요한 에탄올, IPA 등과 같은 유기용매를 고순도로 농축하는 공정은 유기용매와 물과의 혼합물이 일정 농도에서 공비점을 형성하여 일반 증류로는 분리하기 힘들어 Benzene, Cycloheaxane 드의 Entrainer를 첨가하여 상대휘발도를 변화시켜 분리하는 공비증류가 이용되고 있다. 그러나 공비증류는 에너지 사용량이 많고 유독한 물질을 사용하므로 투과증발법과 같은 저에너지 소비형, 환경 친화적인 공정에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 투과증발법에 의한 유기용매 농축공정은 물과의 친화성이 높은 비다공성 막을 이용하여 선택적으로 물을 투과하여 유기용매를 탈수하는 방법으로 투과를 위한 Driving force는 Feed side와 Permeate side사이의 Chemical potential gradient로 이는 물에 대한 Partial vapor pressure differnece로 다음과 같이 표시된다. $\Delta \mu_{F/P.W} = RT ln\frac{y_WP_P}{x_W\gamma_WP_{o.W}}$ 따라서 투과속도를 높이기 위해서 Permeate side를 진공상태로 하여 투과하는 물질을 기화시키고 이를 다시 응축하여 Permeate side의 압력을 낮게 유지시켜야 한다.

The objective of the present study is to predict the characteristics of heat and mass transfer around an evaporative condenser. Numerical calculations have been performed using multi-zone method to investigate heat transfer rate and evaporation rate with the variation of inlet condition(velocity, relative humidity and temperature) of the moist air, the flow rate of the cooling water and the shape of the condenser tube. From the results it is found that the profile of heat flux is the same as that of evaporation rate since heat transfer along the gas-liquid interface is dominated by the transport of latent heat in association with the vaporization(evaporation) of the liquid film. The evaporation rate and heat transfer rate is increased as mass flow rate increases or relative humidity and temperature decrease respectively. But the flow rate of the cooling water hardly affect the evaporation rate and heat flux along the gas-liquid interface. The elliptic tube which the ratio of semi-minor axis to semi-major axis is 0.8 is more effective than the circular tube because the pressure drop is decreased. But the evaporation rate and heat flux shown independency on the tube shape.

Greenhouse crop production under critical summer climate In Korea has considerable difficulties because of high temperature and relative humidity. In this study, some water pipes were tested as a means of the dehumidification and increment of evaporative cooling efficiency. As a result of heat transfer characteristic analysis, overall heat transfer coefficient of copper pipe was larger than steel pipe, and estimated values were smaller than measured values. The condensed quantities of vapor were not significantly different between copper pipe and steel pipe, however dehumidifying effect by the water pipes was significantly large. It was estimated based on the results that the evaporative cooling system by the water pipe will be able to increase the evaporative cooling efficiency of about 48%, and decrease the temperature of about 1.3$^{\circ}C$.

Carbon-encapsulated Ni and metal Ni nanoparticles were synthesized by levitational gas condensation (LGC). Methane ($CH_4$) gas was used to coat the surface of the Ni nanoparticles. The Ni particles had a core diameter of 10 nm, and were covered by 2~3 nm thin carbon layers with multi-shells structure.The low magnetization comparing with the Ni nanoparticles without carbon-shell results in the coexistence of nonmagnetic carbon and a large surface spin percentage with disordered magnetization orientation for the nanoparticles. Biginelli reactions in the presence of L-proline and Ni and carbon encapsulated Ni nanoparticles were carried out to change the ratio between stereoisomers. The obtained S-enantiomers for 3,4-dihydropyrimidine (DHPM) using catalysts of Ni, and Ni@C was an excess of about ${\Delta}{\sim}7.4%$ and ${\Delta}{\sim}19.6%$, respectively. The nanopowders were fully recovered using magnet to reuse as a catalyst. The Ni@C was shown at same yield to formation of 3,4-DHPM, though it was recycled for catalyst in the reaction.

Small size ice-cream maker has two evaporators having different evaporating temperatures of $4^{\circ}C$ and $-8^{\circ}C$. In such case, ice-cream maker system design becomes complicated because multiple capillary tubes affects one another. In this study, performance analysis was conducted for the soft ice-cream maker having two evaporators operating at different temperatures. The compressor was analyzed using efficiency models, the capillary tube was modeled assuming one-dimensional flow, the condenser and the evaporators were modeld based on UA-LMTD method. The refrigeration cycle simulation program was developed applying the enthalpy, pressure and mass balance on each component. Comparison of the test data with the simulated results for R404A revealed that evaporator temperatures of refrigerator and freezer agreed within $3^{\circ}C$.
