In this study, metal copper clad laminate can be prepared using epoxy composite filled with thermally conductive fillers. In order to improve the thermal conductivity of epoxy composites, it is important factor to form conductive networks through appropriate packing of conductive fillers in epoxy composite matrix and to decrease the amount of thermally resistant junctions involving a epoxy composite matrix layer between adjacent filler units. This is because epoxy has a thermal conductivity of only 0.2-0.3W, so in order to maintain high thermal conductivity, thermally conductive fillers are connected to each other, so that the gap between particles can be reduced to reduce thermal resistance. The purpose of this study is to find way to achieve highly thermally conductive in the epoxy composite matrix filled with Al₂O₃ and Boron Nitride(BN) filler by filler loading and uniform dispersion. As a results, the use of Al₂O₃/BN hybrid filler in epoxy matrix was found to be effective in increasing thermal conductivity of epoxy composite matrix due to the enhanced connectivity offered by more continuous thermally conductive pathways and uniform dispersion without interfacial voids in epoxy composite matrix. In addition, surface treatmented s-BN improves the filler dispersion and adhesion between the filler and the epoxy matrix, which can significantly decrease the interfacial thermal resistance and increase the thermal conductivity of epoxy composite matrix.

This study aims to experimentally investigate the heat transfer characteristics of a thermosyphon using nanofluids. A thermosyphon with three individual pipes, which share the internal volume of the evaporator section, was designed, and its performance was tested for various charge amounts, input powers of the evaporator section's heater, and concentrations of working fluids. The optimized charge amount of the thermosyphon using distilled water was 30%, and the thermal resistance of the thermosyphon with $TiO_2$ nanofluid was 18.1% lower than that with Ag nanofluid. In addition, the heat transfer performance of the thermosyphon with $TiO_2-1%$ was optimized at an input power of 300 W at the evaporator section's heater and a charge amount of 30%.

유리를 기판으로 하는 superstrate pin 비정질 실리콘 태양전진에서 전면 투명전도막(TCO)과 p-층의 계면은 태양전지 변환효율에 큰 영향을 미친다. 면투명전도막(TCO)으로 현재 일반적으로 사용되는 ZnO:Al는 $SnO_2:F$보다 전기, 광학적으로 우수하고, 안개율 (Haze)높으며, 수소 플라즈마에서 안정성이 높은 특징을 갖고 있다. 그래서 박막 태양전지의 특성향상에 매우 유리하나, 태양전지로 제조했을 때, $SnO_2$보다 충진율(Fill Factor:F.F)과 $V_{oc}$가 감소한다는 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 실험실에서는 $SnO_2:F$dml F.F.가 72%이 나온 반면 ZnO:Al의 F.F은 68%에 그쳤다. 이들 원인을 분석하기 위해 TCO/p-layer의 전기적 특성을 알아 본 결과, $SnO_2:F$보다 ZnO:Al의 직렬저항이 높게 측정되었다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 p-layer에 $R=(H_2/SiH_4)=25$로 변화, p ${\mu}c$-Si:H/p a-SiC:H로 p-layer 이중 증착, p-layer의 boron doping 농도를 증가시키는 실험을 하였다. 직렬저항이 가장 낮았던 p ${\mu}c$-Si:H/p a-SiC:H 인 p-layer 이중 증착에서 $V_{oc}$는 0.95V F.F는 70%이상이 나왔다. 이들 각 p층의 $E_a$(Activiation Energy)를 구해본 결과, ${\mu}c$-Si:H의 Ea 가 가장 낮은 것을 관찰 할 수 있었다.

In this study, performance characteristics of a water source heat pump system using $CO_2$ as a refrigerant are investigated experimentally. Cooling and heating capacities and COP of the system are analyzed for various system performance variables such as refrigerant charge, expansion valve opening, compressor frequency and internal heat exchanger. Results show that optimum amount of refrigerant charge and expansion valve opening exists at maximum point of COP curve, and cooling capacity increases but COP decreases with the increase of compressor frequency. When the internal heat exchanger is installed, cooling capacity increases about 4.0% whereas heating capacity decreases about 0.89% compared to the case without internal heat exchanger.

This study was to investigate the removal characteristics of toluene in a gas stream by using a biotrickling filter packed with zeolite-contained polyethylene media. The specific surface area and the void fraction of the media were $500\;m^2/m^3$ and 82%. The surface roughness of the media was higher than that of pure polyethylene media. The toluene removal efficiency decreased with increasing the inlet toluene concentration and gas flow rate. The maximum elimination capacity of toluene in the biotrickling filter was $64\;g/m^3{\cdot}hr$. During 200 days operation, toluene removal efficiency was maintained from 90% to 98% until 167 days, hereafter, it was rapidly reduced with a rise in pressure drop due to an excess proliferation of biomass on the media. Pressure drop and removal capability of the biotrickling filter was fully recovered after backwashing.

Rheological characteristics of Sm-Co type plastic magnet compound for powder injection molding process were investigated with the variation of the magnetic powder size, their relative contents and volume fraction using the mixture of fine and coarse powder. Shear viscosity of Sm-Co type compound was decreased with increasing the size of coarse powder due to the increase of powder packing density. However, the smaller the average size of fine powder resulted in the higher viscosity of compound due to the increase of agglomeration force. In case of mechanically milled Sm-Co type powder, the viscosity of compound with the mixture of coarse powder of 125∼75 ㎛ and fine powder of average size of 4.9 ㎛ greatly depends on their relative contents and shows a minimum value at the 60 % coarse powder fraction. This means that the compound shows a maximum packing density at the 60% coarse powder fraction. Compound viscosities satisfied well the rheological model with the volume fraction of magnetic powder, and maximum volume fraction of magnetic powder in Sm-Co type compound for powder injection molding was about 66%.

This paper presents the delivered power and reflection coefficient in metallic shielding enclosure with a sub-cavity, which are evaluated with the method of moments, sad describes a method for controlling the resonance characteristics of the metallic cavity by putting lossy dielectric material in the sub-cavity. In this paper we introduce carbon polystyrene-foam as lossy dielectric material and observe it's effects of reduction when the dimensions of the sub-cavity and permittivity of lossy dielectric material are changed. The results show that the reduction of the electromagnetic radiation can be achieved by controlling the amount of carbon in lossy dielectric material and the dimensions of the sub-cavity. The theoretical analysis is verified by the measured delivered power.

The purpose of this paper is to develop a Hybrid Fiber-reinforced High Strength Lightweight Cementitious Composite (HFSLCC) incorporated with lightweight filler and hybrid fibers for lightness and high ductility. Optimal ingredients and mixture proportion were determined on the basis of the micromechanical analysis and the steady-state cracking theory considering the fracture characteristics of matrix and the interfacial properties between fibers and matrix. Then 4 mixture proportions were determined according to the type and amount of fibers and the experiment was performed to evaluate the mechanical performance of those. The HFSLCC showed 3% of tensile strain, 4.2MPa of ultimate tensile stress, 57MPa of compressive strength and $1,660kg/m^3$ of bulk density. The mechanical performance of HFSLCC incorporated with PVA fibers of 1.0 Vol.% and PE fibers of 0.5 Vol.% is similar to those of the HFSLCC incorporated with fibers of 2.0 Vol.%.

For the assessment of combustion stability of a liquid rocket engine, a device called "Pulse Gun" should be developed first, which can induce artificial perturbations that may lead to excitations of pressure oscillations in a combustion chamber. A model chamber has been used for identifying design parameters of a pulse gun that defines its characteristics. Dynamic pressure measurements showed that shock waves generated from pulse guns are axisymmetric around the axis of a pulse gun barrel. Pressure waves perturbed by a pulse gun induce resonant acoustic frequencies of a model chamber. This fact indicates that successful pressure field perturbations of the KSR-III combustion chamber can be performed by a newly developed pulse gun device. A maximum value of dynamic pressure peaks measured at the opposite point against a pulse gun outlet becomes stronger as charge mass of pulse gun powder increases.

상대적으로 이산화탄소 배출량이 적으며, 기존의 천연가스를 대체할 수 있고, 21세기 신 에너지원으로 기대되고 있는 메탄 하이드레이트(Methane hydrate)는 태평양과 대서양의 대륙사면 및 대륙붕, 남극대륙의 주변해역 등지에서 자연적으로 발생한 메탄 하이드레이트의 분포가 확인되었으며, 그 매장량의 1조 탄소톤 이상으로 기존 화석연료의 매장량이 5천억 탄소톤, 대기중의 메탄가스가 3억 6천만 탄소톤임을 고려할 때 2배에 이르는 막대한 양이라고 보고하였다. 따라서 메탄 하이드레이트는 화석에너지를 대체할 수 있는 차세대 청정 에너지 또는 대체 에너지원으로서의 무한한 잠재력을 가지고 있어 새로운 에너지분야로 크게 주목을 받고 있다. 또한 하이드레이트는 $172m^3$의 메탄가스와 $0.8m^3$의 물로 분해된다. 만약, 특성을 역으로 이용하여 산업적으로 고체화 수송을 할 경우 화수송보다 18-24%의 비용절감이 이루어질 것으로 예상되어진다. 그러나 메탄 하이드레이트를 인공적으로 만들경우 물과 가스의 반응율이 낮아 하이드레이트 형성시간이 상당히 길고 가스 충진율도 낮다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 하이드레이트를 빨리 만들며 가스 충진율도 증가시키기 위하여 증류수와 다공성물질이며 나노세공(Nano pore)을 가지고 있는 제올라이트를 증류수에 첨가하고, 초음파 분산하여 만든 혼합유체를 메탄가스와 반응시켜 하이드레이트 형성 실험을 수행하여 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과 0.01 wt% 제올라이트 혼합유체에서 증류수보다 하이드레이트가 훨씬 빨리 생성되었으며, 메탄가스소모량은 ${\Delta}T_{subc}$=0.5K에서 약 4배 높음을 보였다.
