Numerical study was performed to investigate the convective heat transfer of Al₂O₃/water nanofluid flowing through the concentric double pipe counterflow heat exchangers. Hot fluid flowing through the inner pipe transfers its heat to cooling fluid flowing in the outer pipe. Effects of important parameters such as hot and cold volume flow rates, fluid type in the outer and inner pipes, and nanoparticles concentration on the heat transfer and flow characteristics are investigated. The results indicated that the heat transfer performance increases with increasing the hot and cold volume flow rates, as well as the particle concentrations. When both outer and inner pipes are nanofluids with 8% nanoparticle volume concentration, nanofluids showed up to 17% better heat transfer rate than basic fluids. Also, the average heat transfer coefficient of the base fluid for annulus-side improved by 31%. Approximately 20% enhancement in the heat exchanger effectiveness can be achieved with the addition of 8% alumina particles in base fluid. But, addition of nanoparticles to the base fluid enhanced friction factor by about 196%.

This paper reports the electrical conductivity and the stress-strain behavior of silver particle-filled silicone composite pastes for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding gasket materials. The percolation threshold (critical concentration) of the composite paste obtained by incorporating irregular sphere-shaped silver particles and room temperature vulcanizing (RTV) silicone resin was determined from the electrical conductivity result. At about 28 vol% Beading of untreated silver particles, the percolation phenomenon occurred and at this critical concentration, the volumetric resistivity, the tensile strength, and the elongation of the pastes were investigated. This work also suggests that the stress-strain characteristics of a composite paste filled with metal particles above the percolation threshold may be effectively improved by properly selecting a coupling agent.

광학입자 계수기는 실내환경, 대기오염 및 콜린룸 등 입자크기분포 측정장비로 가장 많이 사용된다. 광학입자 계수기에 샘플링된 업자는 관측체적 내로 1개씩 통과 하며 산란된 빚은 집광장치에 의해 광검출기로 전달한다. 이때 산란광의 양에 비례하여 전압 (전류)의 세기로 변환하여 전기적 선호로서 나타나는 Pulse의 높이는 Calibration Data에 따라 업자의 크기로 변환하고 Pulse의 개수는 입자의 개수로 표시된다. 입자의 크기와 개수등 이용하여 부피로 환산 한 후 부유하는 입자의 평균 밀드를 이용하여 질량으로 환산시킨다. 이렇게 측정된 미세먼지 농도는 ZigBee 통신을 사용하여 구축한 시스템을 통해서 중앙부에서 실시간으로 먼지 농도를 알 수 있다. 특히 멀티흡 기능을 이용하여 건물 구조가 복잡하거나 층간의 통신, 꺾인 부분이나 사무실 안과 밖과 같은 무선 통신이 원할 하지 못하는 경우를 극복하여 미세먼지의 농도 값을 측정 할 수도 있다.

토석류는 산간지역에서 발생할 수 있는 가장 위험한 자연재해 중 하나로 입자-유체 혼합물인 토석류가 중력에 의해 매우 빠른 속도로 이동하는 현상을 의미한다. 산간지역에서의 토석류 발생은 도로의 횡단 배수 구조물의 통수능을 저하시키게 되며 그 결과 도로의 유실 등 막대한 피해를 발생시킨다. 잠재적인 토석류 발생 지역에서의 피해 저감을 위해서는 진보된 설계 기준이 마련되어야 하며 이를 위해 토석류의 횡단 배수구조물 내에서 토석류의 동적 거동 특성을 파악하는 것이 선행되어야 할 것이다. 이번 연구에서는 수리 실험을 통하여 횡단 배수구조물 내에서 토석류의 퇴적 특성을 파악하고자 한다. 수리 실험 장비는 폭이 일정한 사각형 수로로 접근 수로와 하류부 수로로 구성되어 있으며 접근수로의 상단부에서 일정한 유량의 토석류를 연속적으로 유입시켜 경사가 급변하는 하류부 수로 내에서의 토석류 퇴적 특성을 파악하였다. 실험 결과로 토석류의 거동 특성은 토석류의 체적 농도, 입자의 특성, 그리고 접근수로와 하류부 수로의 바닥 경사에 종속됨을 정량적으로 알 수 있었다. 또한, 토석류의 체적 농도나 수로 바닥경사 등과는 상관없이 토석류의 퇴적은 하류부 수로의 종단부인 자유 낙하 지점에서부터 시작되었고 시간이 경과함에 따라 퇴적 지점이 접근 수로 쪽으로 이동하며 퇴적량이 크게 증가하는 현상을 보였다. 이 때, 하류부 수로 내 퇴적된 토석류는 약 $12{\sim}15^{\circ}$의 경사를 보였다.

Laminar mixed convection of a nanofluid consists of water and $Al_2O_3$ in a horizontal circular tube has been studied numerically. Two-phase mixture model has been used to investigate hydrodynamic and thermal behaviors of the nanofluid with variables physical properties. Three dimensional Navier-Stokes, energy and volume fraction equations have been discretized using the finite volume method. The Brownian motions of nanoparticles have been considered to determine the thermal conductivity and dynamic viscosity of $Al_2O_3$-Water nanofluid, which depend on temperature. The calculated results show good agreement with the previous numerical data. Results show that in a given Reynolds number (Re), increasing solid nanoparticles volume fraction and Richardson number (Ri) increases the convective heat transfer coefficient and wall shear stress.

This study investigates the distribution of suspended particulates during the Asian dust period in Busan, Korea in the spring of 2009. Weather map and automatic weather system (AWS) data were used to analyze the synoptic weather conditions during the period. Particulate matter 10, laser particle counter data, satellite images and a backward trajectories model were used to analyze the aerosol particles distribution and their origins. In Case 1 (20 February 2009), when the $PM_{10}$ concentration increased, the aerosol volume distribution of small ($0.3-1.0{\mu}m$) particles decreased, while the concentration of large ($1.0-10.0{\mu}m$) particles increased. When the $PM_{10}$ concentration decreased, the aerosol volume distribution was observed to decrease as well. The prevailing winds changed from weak northerly winds to strong southwesterly winds when the concentration of the large particles increased. The correlation coefficient between the $PM_{10}$ concentration and aerosol volume distribution of large particles showed a high positive value of over 0.9. The results from the trajectory model show that the Asian dust originated in the Gobi desert and the Nei Mongol plateau. In Case 2 (25 April 2009), when the $PM_{10}$ concentration increased, the aerosol volume concentration of small ($0.3-0.5{\mu}m$) particles decreased, but the concentration of large ($0.5-10.0{\mu}m$) particles increased. The opposite was observed when the $PM_{10}$ concentration decreased. The prevailing winds changed from northeasterly winds to southwesterly and northeasterly winds. The correlation coefficient between the $PM_{10}$ concentration and aerosol volume distribution of large particles ($1.0-10.0{\mu}m$) showed a high positive value of about 0.9. The results from the trajectory model show that the Asian dust originated in Manchuria and the eastern coast of China.

Fluid flow and thermal characteristics of laminar nanofluid(water/Al2O3) flow in a circular U-bend tube have been studied numerically. In this study, the effect of Reynolds number and the solid volume fraction and the impact of the U-bend on the flow field, the heat transfer and pressure drop was investigated. Comparisons with previously published experimental works on horizontal curved tubes show good agreements between the results. Heat transfer coefficient increases by increasing the solid volume fraction of nanoparticles as well as Reynolds number. Also, the presence of the secondary flow in the curve plays a key role in increasing the average heat transfer coefficient. However, the pressure drop curve increases significantly in the tubes with the increase in nanoparticles volume fraction.

Profiles of soot volume fraction, average diameter and particle number density have been measured using a light scattering and extinction technique in a coannular propane diffusion flame at atmosperic pressure. Temperature profiles were also obtained using a thermocouple technique. Measurements show that soot is first observed to form low in the flame in an annular region inside the main reaction zone. At higher locations this annular region widen until entire flame is observed to contain particles. Soot volume fraction and particle diameter profiles peak some 1mm on the fuel side of peak temperature and increase with height to oxidation region. Number density of the flame core drop steeply from formation region to growth region and relatively invariant to some height and decay out at flame tip.

A mathematical model describing gear pump flow degradation in the presense of abrasive particles is presented. The model considers the operating parameters as Sommerfeld number, so that contamination sensitivity test results could be conversed to field application to predict contamination service life. A method to estimate the volumetric efficiency and the contamination level of a pump is proposed by measuring the temperature differences in the fluid. Test results show the validity of the theoretical establishments.

The finite volume method for radiation is applied for the analysis of radiative base heating by SE and PE of the aircraft exhaust plume. The exhaust plume is considered as an absorbing, emitting, and scattering medium, while the base plane is assumed to be cold and black. The radiative properties of non-gray gases are obtained through the WSGGM, and the particle is modelled as spheres. The present method is validated by comparing the results with those of the backward Monte-Carlo method and then the radiative base heating characteristics are analyzed by changing such various parameters as particle concentration, temperature, and scattering phase function. The results show that the radiative heat flux coming into the base plane decreases with altitude and distance, but it increases as the particle temperature increases. The forward scattering of particles increases PE while it decreases SE.
