핵융합로에서는 디버터의 열부하에 대한 안전성을 고려하기 위해 열전도도 및 열 저항성이 높은 텅스텐이 대면 물질로 고려되고 있으며, 경제적인 측면과 실용성 측면에서 텅스텐블록을 직접 제작하여 사용하는 것보다 텅스텐코팅이 효과적이라는 의견이 지배적이다. 또한 ASDEX Upgrade 에서는 탄소블럭에 텅스텐을 코팅하여 챔버 외벽 및 디버터 영역까지 구성하여 캠페인을 진행하였고, 재료적인 측면에서 안정성을 확인 하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 디버터 및 챔버외벽 등에 대한 대면물질을 구성하기 위해 상압 열플라즈마 제트를 이용하여 고온에서의 용융 및 냉각을 통해 모재에 텅스텐 피막을 적층하는 과정을 수행하고 있다. 기존의 연구를 통해 일부 공정 변수에 대해서는 이미 적정한 범위의 공정조건을 확보하였고, 기공도와 산화도 및 부착력 등의 물성치에 대한 추가적인 향상을 위해 주요 공정 변수에 집중하여 최적의 조건을 탐색하는 과정이 진행 중이다. 이를 위해 출력증가실험의 일환으로서 기존 36kW급 플라즈마 토치 전력을 한 단계 끌어 올려 48kW급 전력까지 단계적으로 상승시킴으로써 이에 따른 물성치 변화를 검증하고 있다. 현재 44kW 급까지 실험이 수행되었으며, 이를 통해 공극률 감소 및 미세구조 변화에 대한 결과를 얻었다. 실제로 토치의 출력을 증가시킴으로서 텅스텐 피막의 물성치가 변화하는 메커니즘은 플라즈마 제트의 중심부 온도 및 축방향 속도에 의해 결정된다. 중심부 온도가 상승하게 될수록 코팅을 위해 분사되는 분말의 용융률은 증가하지만 분말 외벽에 산화텅스텐이 형성될 가능성은 증가하게 되며, 플라즈마 제트의 모재를 향상 축방향 속도가 증가할수록 용융 된 분말이 모재에 증착 시 형성하는 형태가 원형에 가깝게 되므로 기공이 감소하는 효과가 발생한다. 특히 용융된 분말의 증착 형태는 모재의 온도 및 분말의 입사속도에 결정적이 영향을 받게 되며, 결국 모재와 분말사이의 습윤성에 의한 분말 분산속도가 분말의 입사속도에 버금갈 경우 분말은 모재 위에서 효과적으로 원형으로 전이하며 적층하게 된다. 이러한 전이 현상은 앞에서 언급한 모재의 온도 등에 의해 결정적으로 영향을 받게 되며, 모재의 온도가 전이온도 이하일 경우 폭파형태에서 원형으로 분말의 증착 형태가 전이하게 된다. 이외에 추가적으로 진행하고 있는 연구는 코팅 전처리에 해당하는 분말 효과이며, 특히 탄화텅스텐 분말을 통한 재료적 auto-shroud 효과와 미세분말을 이용한 분말 표면열속의 증가에 따른 용융률 증가효과를 연구에 포함할 계획이다. 이러한 연구는 열적, 그리고 재료적 해석을 바탕으로 해석적 접근을 통해 이루어진다.

In the literature, much research has been focused on the relationships between financial policies and corporate valuation, including the effects that internal equity and capital structure have on corporate value, as well as how capital structures, investments and dividends relate to one another. However, comprehensive studies considering three facets of financial policies, namely capital structures, investments, and internal equity altogether, are scant. This study follows 361 companies listed on the Korean Stock Exchange, excluding financial institutions, from 1996 to 2002. Using 3SLS methods, an empirical analysis was conducted of the relationships among capital structures, investments, dividends, and internal equity and the results are summarized. Capital structures were found to be negatively related with investments, while investments were mainly related to dividends. Dividends were positively related with internal equity, simultaneously affecting capital structures. We were not able to find any clear evidence of a direct relationship between internal equity and capital structures; however they seemed to be indirectly related. Thus, there seems to be mutual relationships between financial policies and internal equity.

실리콘 나노와이어는 높은 표면적으로 인해 뛰어난 감지 능력을 가지는 재료 중 하나로 다양한 센서 응용 분야에 사용되고 있다. 이를 제작하는 방법에는 Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) 공정을 이용한 Top-down 방식과 Vapor-Liquid-Solid (VLS) 공정을 이용한 Bottom-up 방식이 널리 사용되고 있다. 특히 Plasma-Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition(PECVD)와 Au 촉매를 이용한 Bottom-up 방식은 수십 나노미터 이하의 실리콘 나노와이어를 간단한 변수 조절을 통해 성장시킬 수 있다. 또한 Au/Si의 공융점인 363$^{\circ}C$보다 낮은 온도에서 $SiH_4$를 분해시킬 수 있어 열적 효과로 인한 손실을 줄일 수 있는 장점을 지니고 있다. 하지만 PECVD를 이용한 실리콘 나노와이어 성장은 VLS 공정을 통해 표면으로부터 수직으로 성장하게 되는데 이는 센서 응용을 위한 전극 사이의 수평 연결 어려움을 지니고 있다. 따라서 이를 피하기 위한 표면 성장된 실리콘 나노와이어가 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 PECVD VLS 공정을 이용하여 $HAuCl_4$를 촉매로 이용한 표면 성장된 Tree-like 실리콘 나노와이어를 성장시켰다. 공정가스로는 $SiH_4$와 이를 분해시키기 위해 Ar 플라즈마를 사용 하였고 웨이퍼 표면에 HAuCl4를 분사하고 고진공 상태에서 챔버 기판을 370$^{\circ}C$까지 가열한 후 플라즈마 파워(W) 및 공정 압력(mTorr)을 변수로 두어 실험을 진행하였다. 기존의 보고된 연구와 달리 환원된 금 입자 대신 $HAuCl_4$용액을 그대로 사용하였는데 이는 표면 조도(Surface roughness)를 가지는 Au 박막 상태로 존재하게 된다. 이 중 마루(Asperite) 부분에 PECVD로부터 발생된 실리콘 나노 입자가 상대적으로 높은 확률로 흡착하게 되어 실리콘 나노와이어의 표면성장을 유도하게 된다. 성장된 실리콘 나노와이어는 SEM과 EDS를 이용하여 직경, 길이 및 화학적 성분을 측정하였다. 직경은 약 100 nm, 길이는 약 10 ${\mu}m$ 정도로 나타났으며 Tree-like 실리콘 나노와이어가 성장되었다. 향후 전극이 형성된 기판위에 이를 직접 성장시킴으로써 이 물질의 I-V 특성을 파악 할 것이며 이는 센서 응용 분야에 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.

This study was performed to investigate the behavior and spatial distribution of fuel mixtures with different wall angle and diameter of piston cavity in a DI gasoline engine. The spatial distribution of fuel mixtures after impingement of the spray against a piston cavity is one of the most important. factors for the stratification of fuel mixture. Thus, it is informative to understand in detail the behavior and spatial distribution of fuel mixtures after impingement in the cavity. Two dimensional spray fluorescence images of liquid and vapor phase were acquired to analyze the behavior and distribution of fuel mixtures inside cylinder by exciplex fluorescence method. The exciplex system of fluorobenzene/DEMA in non-fluorescing base fuel of hexane was employed. Cavity wall angle was defined as an exterior angle of piston cavity. Wall angles of the piston cavity were set to 30, 60 and 90 degrees, respectively. The spray impinges on the cavity and diffuses along the cavity wall by its momentum. In the case of 30 degrees, the rolling-up moved from the impinging location to the round and fuel-rich mixture distributed at periphery of cylinder. In the case of 60 and 90 degrees, the rolling-up recircurated in the cavity and fuel mixtures concentrated at center region. High concentrated fuel vapor phase was observed in the cavity with 90 degrees. From. present study, it was found that the desirable cavity wall angle with cavity diameter for stratification in a Dl gasoline engine was demonstrated.

The injection nozzle of an electro-hydraulic injector for the common rail Diesel fuel injection system is being opened and closed by movement of a injector's needle which is balanced by pressure at the nozzle seat and at the needle control chamber, at the opposite end of the needle. In this study, the slenoid actuator was considered as a prime movers in high pressure Diesel injector. Namely a solenoid-driven Diesel injector with different driving current types, as a general method driven by solenoid coil energy, has been applied with a purpose to develop the analysis model of the solenoid actuator to predict the dynamics characteristics of the hydraulic component (injector) by using the AMESim code. Aimed at simulating the hydraulic behavior of the solenoid-driven injector, the circuit model has been developed as a unified approach to mechanical modeling in this study. As this analytic results, we know the suction force and first order time lag for driving force can be endowed in solenoid-driven injector in controlling the injection rate. Also it can predict that the input current wave exerted on solenoid coil is the dominant factor which affects on the initial needle behavior of solenoid-driven injector than the hydraulic force generated by the constant injection pressure.

A study is improvement of power and emission in a inline-pump Dr diesel engine by using Dimethyl ether Fuel. Dimethyl ether (DME) is an oxygenated fuel with a cetane number higher than that of diesel oil. It meets the ULEV emission regulation and reduces the smoke to almost zero when used in a diesel engine. But NOx emission is almost same and CO, THC emissions are lower than that of diesel engine. The emissions aren't satisfied the stronger emission regulation in the further. Generally DOC (Diesel Oxidation Catalyst) is used to reduce CO & THC emissions and EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) system is used to reduce NOx emission. Test results showed that the torque and the power with DME were almost same as those of pure diesel oil, but the brake thermal efficiency increased a little. also the BSEC (Brake Specific Energy Consumption) with DME was similar that of diesel. The test results showed that the DOC was the vary effective method to reduce the CO emission in case of Dimethyl Ether Fuel in diesel engine. But, THC emission is showed a little reduction rates. Also EGR system was the very effective method to reduce the NOx emission in case of Dimethyl Ether Fuel in diesel engine.

The performance of a direct-injection type diesel engine often depends on the strength of swirl or squish, shape of combustion chamber, the number of nozzle holes, etc. This is of course because the combustion in the cylinder was affected by the mixture formation process. In this paper, combustion process of biodiesel fuel was studied by employing the piston which has several grooves with inclined plane on the piston crown to generate swirl during the compression stroke in the cylinder in order to improve the atomization of high viscosity fuel such as biodiesel fuel and toroidal type piston generally used in high speed diesel engine. To take a photograph of flame, single cylinder, four stroke diesel engine was remodeled into two stroke visible engine and high speed video camera was used. The results obtained are summarized as follows; (1) In the case of toroidal piston, when biodiesel fuel was supplied to plunger type injection system which has very low injection pressure as compared with common-rail injection system, the flame propagation speed was slowed and the maximum combustion pressure became lower. These phenomena became further aggravated as the fuel viscosity gets higher. (2) In the case of swirl groove piston, early stage of combustion such as rapid ignition timing and flame propagation was activated by intensifying the air flow in the cylinder. (3) Combustion process of biodiesel fuel was improved by the reason mentioned in paragraph (2) above. Consequently, the swirl grooves would also function to improve the combustion of high viscosity fuel.

Recently it has been focused that the automobile engine has developed in a strong upward tendency for the use of the high viscosity and poorer quality fuels in achieving the high performance, fuel economy, and emission reduction. Therefore it is not easy to solve the problems between low specific fuel consumption and exhaust emission control at motor cars. In this study, it is designed and used the engine test bed which is installed with turbocharger and intercooler. In addition to equipped using CRDI by controlling injection timing with mapping modulator, it has been tested and analyzed the engine performance, combustion characteristics, and exhaust emission as operating parameters, and they were engine speeds(rpm), injection timing(bTDC), and engine load(%). From the result of an experimental analysis, peak cylinder pressure and the rate of pressure rise were increased, and the location of it was closer toward top dead center according to the increasing of engine speed and load, and with advancing injection timing. The combustion characteristics are effected by fuel injection timing due to be enhanced the mass burned fraction. Using the engine dynamometer for analyzing the engine performance, the engine torque and power have been enhanced according to advancing the fuel injection timing. In analyzing of exhaust emission, there has been a trade-off between PM and NOx with increasing of engine speed and load, and with advanced injection timing. The experimental data are shown that the formation of NOx has increased and PM, vice versa.

1,3-Bis(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea (BCNU, Carmustine)-loaded poly(D, L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA, lactide/glycolide mole ratio 75 : 25) microparticles were prepared and fabricated into wafers in an attempt to study the possibility for the treatment of malignant glioma by direct inserting the wafers to the tumor or the cavity remained after surgical resection of the tumor. SEM observation of the microparticles prepared by spray drying method revealed that the microparticles were spherical, i. e. microspheres. Significant reduction of the crystallinity of BCNU encapsulated in PLGA was confirmed by X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry analyses of the BCNU-loaded PLGA microparticles. Release pattern of BCNU was dependent on several preparation parameters, such as the molecular weight and concentration of PLGA, and initial BCNU loading amount, etc. In vitro release of BCNU was prolonged over 8 weeks with close to zero-order release pattern after initial burst effect. Observations of morphological change of wafers and pH change of release media during release test period confirmed that hydration and degradation of PLGA would be facilitated with an increase of BCNU-loading amount.

In most direct contact liquid-liquid heat exchangers, oil or hydrocarbon with a density less than water is normally used as dispersed working fluid. The main difficulty that arises with this arrangement lies in the control of the interface at the top of the column. When it is connected with a solar collector which uses water as its working fluid, the main difficulties arise from the fact that the water can be frozen during winter time. In order to solve these problems and to demonstrate the technical feasibility of a direct contact liquid-liquid heat exchanger, liquids heavier than water with low freezing temperature has been utilized as dispersed phase liquids in a small laboratory scale model made of pyrex glass. In the present investigation, dimethyl phthalate(C/sub 6/H/sub 4/)COOCH/sub 3/)/sub 2/) and diethyl phthalate (C/sub 6/H/sub 4/(CO/sub 2/C/sub 2/H/sub 5/)/sub 2/) are utilized as heavy dispersed phase working fluids. The results of the present investigation the technical in the utilization of heavier dispersed working liquid in the spray-column liquid-liquid heat exchanger for a solar system. The overall average temperature difference along the column is found to be almost half of the initial temperature difference between the dispersed and the continuous phase. Despite the fact that the two phthalates tested in the experiment differ significantly in some of their physical properties, the volumetric heat transfer coefficients in terms of dispersed fluid superficial velocities were found to be similar for both phthalates tested.
