전기도금으로 얻어진 금속표면 특성은 도금액의 온도, pH, 도금액 조성, 첨가제 등과 같은 여러 종류의 도금인자 및 조건에 따라 달라진다. 그중에서 가장 영향을 많이 미치는 것이 도금중에 인가되는 전류밀도이다. 이러한 영향에 대해 연구하고자 많은 도금 개발자들은 Hull Cell을 사용하고 있다. Hull Cell 시험은 한 번의 실험으로 높은 전류밀도에서부터 낮은 전류밀도에 이르기까지 규칙적인 전류밀도로 1개의 음극표면에 도금 되도록 하여 도금된 표면을 관찰함으로써 도금 상태를 비교평가 할 수 있게 한 것이다. 하지만 헐셀자에 사용하고 있는 전류밀도 분포 기준은 도금 용액의 종류에 관계 없이 하나의 헐셀식에 의해 표현되고 있다. 하지만 도금용액의 종류에 따라 분극특성이 다르며 이로 인해 헐셀 실험에서의 2차 전류밀도 분포가 달라지게 된다. 따라서 보다 정확한 평가 및 분석을 위해서는 도금용액에 대한 특성이 고려된 전류밀도 분포 기준이 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 Hull Cell 실험에서 도금 용액별로 정확한 헐셀자를 제공하기 위해 기존 헐셀자의 전류밀도 분포와 분극특성을 고려한 2차 전류밀도 분포를 시뮬레이션을 활용하여 비교분석 하였다.

PDP(Plasma Display Panel)는 21세기 디스플레이 시장을 대체할 차세대 디스플레이 장치로서 넓은 시야각, 얇고, 가볍고, 메모리기능이 있다는 여러 가지 장점들을 가지고 있지만 현재 고휘도, 고효율, 저소비전력 등의 문제점들을 해결하여야 한다. 이러한 문제점들의 해결을 위해서는 명확한 미세방전 PDP 플라즈마에 대한 정확한 진단 및 해석이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 미세 면방전 AC-PDP 플라즈마의 기초 변수들 (플라즈마 밀도 & 온도, 플라즈마 뜬 전위, 플라즈마 전위 등의 측정을 통해 고휘도, 고효율 PDP를 위한 최적의 방전환경을 알아내는 데 있다. 일반적으로 전자의 밀도는 방전전류에 비례하는 관계를 보인다. 전류에 대해 방전전압이 일정하다면 전자밀도가 커짐에 따라서 휘도는 포화되며 상대적으로 휘도와 전류의 비로 표시되는 발광효율은 감소하게 된다. 반면 전자밀도가 상당히 작다면 휘도는 전자밀도에 비례하고 효율은 최대값을 보인다. 따라서 미세구조 PDP에서 휘도와 발광효율, 양쪽에 부합하는 최적의 방전환경을 플라즈마 전자밀도와 온도의 측정을 통해서 해석하는 것이 필요하다. 본 실험에서는 방전기체의 종류와 Ne+Xe 방전기체의 조성비에 따른 플라즈마 밀도, 온도의 공간적인 분포특성을 진단하기 위해서 초미세 랑뮈에 탐침(지름: 수 $mu extrm{m}$)을 제작하였다. 제작된 초미세 탐침을 컴퓨터로 제어되는 스텝핑모터를 장착한 정밀 X, Y, Z stage에 부착하여서 수 $\mu\textrm{m}$간격의 탐침 삽입위치에 따라서 미세면방전 AC-PDP의 플라즈마 밀도 및 온도분포 특성을 진단하였다. PDP 방전공간에 초미세 랑뮈에 탐침을 삽입해서 -200~+200V의 바이어스 전압을 가해준다. 음의 바이어스 전압구간에서 이온 포화전류를 얻어내어 여기서 플라즈마 이온 밀도를 측정하고 양의 바이어스 전압구간에서 플라즈마 전자온도를 측정하면 미세면방전 AC-PDP 플라즈마의 기초 진단이 가능하다.

A two-dimensional model for anode-supported IT-SOFCs is proposed in order to accurately consider the heat and mass transport processes with a fully-developed axial velocity profile in channel flow. A comprehensive micro model is employed to describe the electrochemical reaction in anode and cathode of SOFCs. This paper investigates the effects of operational parameters (inlet temperature, the amount of flow rate, and air flow rate) including flow configurations (co-flow and counter-flow) on the current density and temperature distributions in the IT-SOFCs.

In order to measure corrosion level of reinforcement rebar in RC structures, non-destructive test methods which are concrete surface current density method and infrared thermographic technique were employed to measure corrosion levels. Experimental test parameters were various levels of corrosion states(0, 1, 3, 5, 7% of weight loss) and concrete cover depth(30 mm, 40 mm) and two different reinforcing rebar arrangements. The larger amount of concrete surface current density, the higher corrosion level in reinforcement rebar. The laboratory conditions which are ambient temperature and humidity have negligible effect on the infrared thermographical data. After analysis of current density and temperature distribution from concrete surface, corrosion level of reinforcement rebar embedded in concrete can be measured qualitatively based on the amount of electric current and heat flux.

Performance evaluation of a direct carbon fuel cell (DCFC) was conducted according to coals and a graphite particle. Several fuel properties such as thermal reactivity, textural structure, gas adsorption characteristic, and functional groups on the surface of fuels were investigated and their effects on electrochemistry were discussed. The strong carbon structure inside of fuels led the rapid potential decreasing in high current density region, because it caused small surface area and low pore volume. The functional groups on the surface were related to the low current density region. The maximum current density and power density of fuels were affected by the total carbon content in fuels. The effect of operating conditions such as stirring rate and operating temperature was investigated in this study.

Reference white in color television receiver can be achieved by adjusting the RGB gun current ratio and it is necessary to provide additional gain ratio adjustment for the RGB video signal. Generally, the gun current density profile has a gaussian distribution and the gain-bandwidth product of RGB channel amplifieris constant. Therefore brightness and spatial resolution are changed with variations in reference white of receiver. In this paper, the effect of RGB gun current and channel gain ratios on brightness and resolution of CPT is analyzed. Brightness is increased with the color temperature of referenc white because of Helmholtz-kohlrausch effect. The change in ligh output is more abrupt and spatial resolution is improved with unity current ratio. For more bright and improved ressolution we also present the range of color temperature of reference white for P22 phosphors.

There are many factors to consider when attempting to improve the efficiency of fuel cell operation, such as the operation temperature, humidity, stoichiometry, operation pressure, geometric features, etc. In this paper, the effects of the operation pressure were investigated to find the current density and water saturation behavior on a cross section designated by the design geometry. A two-dimensional geometric model was established with a gas channel that can provide $H_2$ to the anode and $O_2$ and water vapor to the cathode gas diffusion layer (GDL). The results from this numerical modeling revealed that higher operation pressures would produce a higher current density than lower ones, and the water saturation behavior was different at operation pressures of 2 atm and 3 atm in the cathode GDL. In particular, the water saturation ratios are higher directly below the collector than in other areas. In addition, this paper presents the dependence of the velocity behavior in the cathode on pressure changes, and the velocity fluctuations through the GDL are higher in the output area than in inlet area. This conclusion will be utilized to design more efficient fuel cell modeling of real fuel cell operation.

The performance prediction of a planar-type solid oxide fuel ceil is conducted by a computational analysis. The transport processes are formulated with the help of a simplified treatment of heat generation by the electrochemical reaction. From the result of the computational analysis, it is shown that the electrochemical reaction is closely related to the transport phenomena inside a solid oxide fuel cell. Transport phenomena including heat and mass transfer have influence on the distribution of local current density and as a result, on the performance characteristics of the fuel cell. Computational analysis is also extended to the parametric study to investigate the performance behavior of the fuel cell with different amount of supplied fuel flow rates. It is also demonstrated that the mathematical formulation and computational procedures proposed in this study can be applied to prove the importance of the specific TPB(Three-Phase-Boundary) area in the manufacturing process of electrodes in a solid oxide fuel cell.

The high purity Al foil, which has an enlarged surface area by electrochemical etching process, has been used as an anode for an aluminum electrolytic capacitor. Etch pits are randomly distributed on the surface because of the existence of surface irregularities such as impurity and random nucleation of pits. Even though a large surface area was formed on the tunnel-etched Al, its applications to various fields were limited due to non-uniform tunnel morphologies. In this work, the selective electrochemical etching of aluminum was carried out by using a patterned mask fabricated by photolithographic method. The formation of etch pits with uniform distribution has been demonstrated by the optimization of experimental conditions such as current density and etching solution temperature.

The influence of plasma carburizing process on the surface hardness of SCM415 low-alloy steel (0.15% C) was investigated under the various process conditions of gas composition. gas pressure, plasma current density. temperature and time. The effective case depth was found to depend on the amount of methan gas containing carbon. thus the deepest case depth and the uniform hardeness were obtained with the 100% methan gas. The case depth increased with the plasma current density. The effective plasma carburizing temperature of SCM415 steel was found to be higher than 85$0^{\circ}C$, and the case depth was proportional to the square root of carburizing time under the same current density. The bending fatigue strength of the plasma carburized specimen is' higher than those of as- received specimen or reheat-quenched specimen.
