The air-side particulate fouling in the heat exchangers of HVAC applications degrades the performance of cooling capacity, pressure drop across a heat exchanger, and indoor air quality. Indoor and outdoor air contaminants foul heat exchangers. An empirical modeling equation is derived from the experimental results using accelerated tests and it shows good predictions of the fouling characteristics of the slitted finned tube heat exchangers. However the modeling equation predicts only the fouling characteristics of new heat exchangers and it can not predicts fouling characteristics obtained from actual field data. The purpose of this study is to modify the previous modeling equation using the actual field data Therefore an modified modeling equation is proposed and it shows good predictions of the actual fouling characteristics of finned-tube heat exchangers.

To improve pervaporation performance of water/ethanol mixtures, chitosan/poly(vinyl alcohol) blended and phosphorylated chitosan composite membranes were prepared. Chitosan/poly(vinyl alcohol) blends were prepared with various blend ratios and then crosslinked with glutaraldehyde by two methods. With increasing crosslinking agent content and crosslinking times separation factor increased and permeate flux decreased. Separation factor of the membrane which contains glutaraldehyde as a crosslinking agent was higher than that of the membrane surface crosslinked. Phosphorylated chitosan was prepared with various reaction times and composite membrane was prepared. As reaction times increased, the separation factor increased with high affinity for water.

본 연구에서는 무용제 타입의 알킬(alkyl)기를 가진 친수성 4차 암모늄염인 대전방지제(Ultramer 5530)를 합성, 유/무광 수용성 수지와 배합하여 PVC 바닥재에 열경화 코팅을 행하였다. 대전방지 코팅액은 Ultramer 5530을 광택조절이 가능한 유/무광 수용성 수지에 무게 기준으로 5-20 wt%(이하 ‘part’로 표기)범위로 첨가, 배합하여 제조하였다. 대전방지 코팅 처리전 PVC 바닥재의 표면저항은 10/sup 12/Ω이었으나 코팅 후 표면저항은 유광 수지의 경우 최대 10/sup 8/Ω, 무광 수지의 경우 최대 10/sup 6/Ω까지 감소하였다. 유/무광 수지 모두 경화조건에 관계없이 일반적으로 Ultramer 5530의 첨가량이 증가할수록 코팅된 PVC 바닥재의 표면저항은 현저히 감소하였다. 경화온도 l00℃에서 1분간 경화한 콜이도막은 Ultramer 5530의 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 전기저항이 현저하게 감소하였으나 경도 및 부착률 등의 코팅도막 물성이 현저히 저하됨을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 물성 저하는 경화온도를 80℃로 낮추고 경화시간을 20분으로 늘리면 해결할 수 있었다. 본 연구결과, PVC 바닥재의 표면에 형성된 코팅도막의 물성은 Ultramer 5530의 첨가량을 8 part로 하고 120℃에서 1분간 열경화를 시켰을 때 가장 좋았다.

반도체 소자가 고집적화 됨에 따라 단위공정의 수가 증가하게 되었고 동시에 실리콘 기판의 오염에 대한 문제가 증가하였다. 실리콘 기판의 주 오염물로는 유기물, 파티클, 금속분순물 등이 있으며 특히, Cu와 Fe과 같은 금속불순물은 이온주입 공정, reactive ion etching, photoresist ashing과 같은 실 공정 중에 1011-1013atoms/㎤정도로 오염이 되고 있다. 그러나 금속불순물 중 Cu와 같은 전기음성도가 실리콘 보다 큰 오염물질은 일반적인 습석세정방법으로는 제거하기 힘들다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 Cu와 Fe과 같은 금속불순물을 제거할 목적을 건식과 습식 세정방법을 혼합한 UV/ozone과 HF세정을 제안하여 실시하였다. CuCI2와 FeCI2 표준용액으로 실리콘 기판을 인위적 오염한 후 split 1(HF-only), split 2 (UV/ozone+HF), split 3 (UV/ozone + HF 2번 반복), split 4(UV/ozone-HF 3번 반복)를 실시하였고 TXRF(Total Reflection X-Ray Fluorescence)와 AFM(Atomic Force Microscope)으로 금속불순물 제거량과 표면거칠기를 각각 측정하였다. 또한 contact angle 측정으로 세정에 따른 표면상태도 측정하였다. TXRF 측정결과 split 4가 가장 적은 양의 금속불순물 잔류량을 보였으며 AFM 분석을 통한 표면거칠기도 가장 작은 RMS 값을 나타내었다. Contact angle 측정 결과 UV/ozone 처리는 친수성 표면을 형성하였고 HF처리는 소수성 표면을 형성하였다.

This study was evaluated the characteristics of organic materials in the water source and the removal characteristics of organic materials by ultrafiltration including mixing and coagulation process. As a results of the study, it was found that the total organic carbon in the water source was mostly caused by the dissolved organic materials. As the specific ultraviolet absorbance value of the raw water was low, we found the soluble organic material has a high hydrophilic and low molecular material composition ratio. As a result of ultrafiltration experiment including mixing and coagulation process, the average removal rate of total organic carbon, dissolved organic carbon and ultraviolet absorbance at 254 were 37.9%, 30.3%, and 28.2%, respectively.

The ecofriendly yellow ocher is used in the manufacturing of cosmetics, construction, and food packaging. The polyethylene terephthalate (PET) used for manufacturing food containers has a microporous structure that causes aeration. Hydrophilic yellow ocher may be applied to hydrophobic PET by surface modification to overcome this issue. The aim of this study is to fabricate a yellow ocher polystyrene hybrid structure in the form of nanoparticles using an optimizing molar ratio of styrene, divinylbenzene, and potassium peroxodisulfate for use in emulsion polymerization. The polymerization was conducted in a yellow ocher suspension that was prepared by dispersing mechanically ground yellow ocher in DI water. The prepared hybrid structure was measured using scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The measurement revealed the spherical morphology and Si component that resulted from the yellow ocher in the polystyrene particles. We expect that this hybrid structure would be used as platform material to minimize aeration in PET.

As the average indicator for amount of water flowing in any cross section of a river, the mean discharge has been reported to be a very important factor for examining water circle constructions in a river basin, the design and construction of a hydraulic structure, and water front area use and management. The stage-discharge curve based on discharge and stage data measured in a normal season were basically derived. Using this derivation, the necessary discharge data was obtained. The values produced in this manner corresponded to the measured data in a uniform flow state well, but showed limited accuracy in a flood season (unsteady flow). In the present paper, the mean velocity in unsteady flow conditions, which exhibited loop form properties, was estimated using the new mean velocity formula derived from Chiu's 2-D velocity. The results of RMSE and Polar graph analyses showed that the proposed equation exhibited approximately nineteen times the accuracy compared to the Manning and Chezy equations.

Poly(urethane-methyl methacrylate) hybrid emulsions can be controlled with their thermal, mechanical and anti-chemical properties as plastic coating materials. In this study, water dispersed poly(urethane-methyl methacrylate) hybrid emulsions were prepared by prepolymer synthesis and soap free emulsion polymerization. For imparting hydrophilicity on polyurethane prepolymer, 2,2-bis (hydroxymethyl) propionic acid was added to the polyurethane prepolymer with methyl methacrylate monomer and was neutralizated by triethylamine (TEA). After neutralization, the prepolymer mixture was dispersed in the water phase with stable droplets. The synthesis was carried out with chain extension from the ethylene diamine and initiation of methyl methacrylate by soap free emulsion polymerization. Stable poly(urethane-methyl methacrylate) hybrid emulsion was successfully obtained with different synthetic conditions and acrylic monomer contents. Poly(urethane-methyl methacrylate) hybrid emulsion were characterized and compared with tensile strength, viscosity, and adhesion properties.

Proton exchange membrane (PEM), which transfers proton from the anode to the cathode, is the key component of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). Nafion is widely used as PEM due to its high proton conductivity as well as excellent chemical and physical stabilities. However, its high cost and the environmental hazards limit the commercial application in PEMFCs. To overcome these disadvantages, various alternative polymer electrolytes have been investigated for fuel cell applications. We used densely sulfonated polymers to maximize the ion conductivity of the corresponding membrane. To overcome high swelling, dipole-dipole interaction was used by introducing nitrile groups into the polymer backbone. As a result, physically-crosslinked membranes showed improved swelling ratio despite of high water uptake. All the membranes with different hydrophilic-hydrophobic compositions showed higher conductivity, despite their lower IEC, than that of Nafion-117.

In general, most physical properties of wood/polyvinyl chloride (PVC) composites are lower than those of corresponding neat PVC resin because of poor interfacial adhesion between the hydrophilic wood flour and hydrophobic PVC. Therefore, in this study, we treated wood flour with three aminosilanes to improve wood/PVC interfacial adhesion strength, and eco-friendly wood/PVC/nanoclay composites were prepared by melt blending the aminosilane-treated wood flour, a heavy metal free PVC compound, and a type of nanoclay. The effects of treating wood flour with the aminosilanes and adding the nanoclay on the mechanical properties of the composites were investigated. Mechanical properties of the composites were investigated by universal testing machine (UTM), izod impact tester, dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA), and thermomechanical analyzer (TMA). The tensile properties of the composites with the aminosilane-treated wood flour were considerably higher than those of the composites with neat wood flour. Furthermore, a small amount of the nanoclay improved mechanical properties of the composites. The performance of the wood/PVC composites was considerably improved by using the aminosilane-treated wood flour and the nanoclay.
