분자전해질연료전지 내의 다공성 기체확산층은 반응가스의 확산과 전자이동통로의 역할을 수행할 뿐만 아니라 전기화학반응에 의해 공기극에서 생성된 수분(기상 혹은 액상)을 반응면으로부터 분리판 채널 방향으로 이동시켜 배출시키는 중요한 역할을 한다. 따라서 물관리를 통한 성능향상을 위해서는 기체 확산층의 구조 및 재료특성에 대한 심도 릴은 연구가 필요하다. 실제 단위전지 체결시 기체확산층은 분리판의 리브(rib)에 의해 눌리게 되며, 그 부분의 기공 크기 분포의 변화를 야기한다. 또한 리브 전단부분에서 탄소 섬유가 손상을 입으며, 탄소 섬유를 감싸고 있는 PTFE coating이 벗겨지게 되어 표면화학적 특성이 달라진다. 본 연구에서는 단위전지 체결 시 분리판에 의해 눌리는 기체확산층의 기공 크기 분포 변화를 측정하였으며, 기공의 소수성에서 친수성으로의 변화를 알아보았다. Mercury 기공 측정기와 PMI 기공 측정기는 큰 기공 분포의 변화에, 질소의 흡/탈착을 이용한 BET 방식은 작은 크기의 기공 분포 변화 관찰에 사용되었다. 체결압에 의한 탄소섬유의 구조적 변화와 아울러 표면의 습윤 정도의 변화를 XPS와 물/알콜 Uptake를 이용해 알아보았다. 이 연구를 바탕으로 물관리를 통한 연료전지 성능 향상을 위한 최적 GDL 선정에 기반이 되는 자료를 도출하였다.

Polymer flooding for enhancing hydrocarbon production injects into a reservoir polymer solution that is viscous. It is very important to monitor the behavior pattern of the polymer solution in order to evaluate the effectiveness of polymer flooding. To monitor the distribution of polymer solution and thus fluid substitution within the reservoir, we first construct seismic and resistivity rock physics models (RPMs), which are functions of reservoir parameters such as rocks and type of fluid, fluid saturation. For the seismic and resistivity RPMs, responses of seismic and electromagnetic (EM) tomography are numerically simulated as polymer injection, using two dimensional (2D) staggered-grid finite difference elastic modeling and 2.5D finite element EM modeling algorithms, respectively. In constructing RPM for EM tomography, three different reservoir rocks are considered: clean-sand, dispersed shale-sand, and sand-shale lamination rocks. The polymer solution is assumed to have 2 wt% of polymer as normally generated, while water is freshwater or saltwater. Further, neutron logging is also considered to check its sensitivity to polymer flooding. The techniques discussed in the paper are important in monitoring not only hydrocarbon but also geothermal reservoirs.

종합적인 오존대책을 구축하기 위해서는 광화학 옥시단트의 생성물리ㆍ화학과정 및 생물기원(자연발생원) 탄화수소의 영향을 고려한 3차원 광화학반응 모델의 구축이 가장 절실하다. 특히, 광화학 옥시단트는 국지적인 순환(해륙풍)및 혼합층에 의해 지배되기 때문에 지형을 고려한 3차원 기상장 수치모델(도시규모)과 광화학을 포함한 농도장(광화학반응 모델) 모델에 의한 대상지역의 시간적, 공간적인 오존농도 분포를 재현할 수 있는 모델 개발이 필요하다. (중략)

In order to clarify the relationship between the activity and age of vacular cambium in the rhizome of Botrychium ternatum, the cambia of the 6th and 10th internodes from its shoot apex were compared ultrastructurally and histochemically. The cambium in the 6th internode had two to four radially arranged cells in each row, and the cells are radially flattened and had thiner tangential walls than radial. The cambial cells were ultrastructurally characterlized by the presence of a large vacuole, few storage materials such as starch grains and lipid droplets, and various cell organelles such as mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulums and dictyosomes in cytoplasm. On the other hand, the cells of cambium in the 10th internode showed irregular arangement and somewhat enlargement in radial plane. The cells were filled with numerous storage materials and small vacuoles and had few cell organelles except for mitochondria. In addition, the activity of acid phosphatase appeared in the cambium of the 6th internode but of the 10th. From the above results, it is clear that the vascular cambium of the 6th internode was active and that of the 10th was dormant. Thus we reached a conclusion that the rhizome of '||'&'||'trychium ternatum has determinate cambium.

산업의 발달과 더불어 각종 화학물질들이 여러 산업공정에서 다양한 용도로 이용되고 있다. 인체에 유해한 독성 무기ㆍ유기화합물의 유출 사고나 부적절한 매립 등에 의해 이들 물질이 환경오염을 야기하는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 휘발성 유기화학물의 처리는 물리ㆍ화학적 방법이나 생물학적 방법으로 제거할 수 있다. 생물여과 공정은 오염된 가스를 반응기에 유입하여 고정된 충진물에 형성된 적절한 미생물 층을 이용하여 오염물질을 제거하는 것이다(Deshusses et al., 1995). (중략)

반도체 소자의 소형화로 신개념 화학증착공정 구현을 위한 장비와 화학증착소재의 개발이 활발이 연구되고 있다. 특히 증착소재의 물리적 화학적 특성을 파악하고 가장 적합한 소재를 선택하기 위한 연구도 변행되고 있다. 많은 연구자들이 소재 평가를 위해 가스크로마토그래피, 질량분석기, 적외선 분광기 등을 이용한 화학증착소재의 특성을 파악하기 위해 노력하고 있다. 하지만 실제 화학기상증착(Chemical Vapor Deposition)법과 원자층증착(Atomic Layer Deposition)법 공정에서 웨이퍼 표면에서의 화학증착소재의 흡착거동에 대한 연구는 거의 전무한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 개선된 Attenuated Total Reflectance(ATR)분광계를 이용하여 표면에 흡착된 소재의 흡착거동에 대해 분석을 수행하였다. 평가에 사용된 화학증착소재는 C-Zr (Tris (dimethylamino) cyclopentadienyl zirconium)이며, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT- IR)시스템 내에 설치된 ATR 분광계 표면에 흡착된 C-Zr 증착소재를 다양한 공정조건(온도 및 반응가스, 플라즈마 파워 등)에서의 거동 변화를 연구하였다.

A nonthermal plasma reactor in conjunction with a tubular type with a ferroelectric (high-dielectric ceramic) pellet layer was designed and constructed. $SrBiTaO_9$ (SBT) pellets with 2.0 mm in diameter were held within the tube arrangement by two metal mesh electrodes (20 mm separation) connected to a high-voltage AC power supply. The dielectric constant of SBT pellets was 150 at room temperature and 500 at curie temperature ($335^{\circ}C$). The generation rate of ozone in the plasma reactor almost linearly increased with increasing applied voltage. In the case of the plasma reactor packed with SBT pellets the generation rate of ozone sharply increased at the applied voltage more than 20 kV. The ozone generation rate at the negative corona discharge was higher than that of the positive corona discharge. However, the destruction efficiency of toluene and methylene chloride was not increased in proportion to ozone concentration.

Reactants of PEMFC are hydrogen and oxygen in gas phases and fuel cell overpotential could be reduced when reactants are smoothly transported. Numerous studies to modify cathode flow field design have been conducted because oxygen mass transfer in high current density region is dominant voltage loss factor. Among those cathode flow field designs, a block in flow field is used to forced supply reactant gas to porous gas diffusion layer. In this study, the block was installed on a simple fuel cell model. Using computational fluid dynamics (CFD), effects of forced convection due to blocks on a polarization curve and local current density contour were studied when different air flow rates were supplied. The high current density could be achieved even with low air supply rate due to forced convection to a gas diffusion layer and also with multiple blocks in series compared to a single block due to an increase of forced convection effect.

In this study, isothermal (350, 375, 400, 425, 450, 500, $850^{\circ}C$) experiments were carried out using a custom-made thermobalance to analyze the thermal decomposition properties of refuse plastic fuel (RPF), which is to be used as a cofiring fuel with a sub-bituminous coal at commercial circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boiler in Korea. In isothermal pyrolysis results, no change in the reaction model was observed in the temperature range of $375{\sim}450^{\circ}C$ and it was revealed that the first order chemical reaction (F1) is the most suitable among 12 reaction models. The activation energy shows similar results irrespective of application of reaction model in that the activation energy was 39.44 kcal/mol and 36.96 kcal/mol when using Arrhenius equation and iso-conversional method ($0.5{\leq}X{\leq}0.9$) respectively. Mean-while, the devolatilization time ($t_{dev}$) according to particle size (d) of RPF could be expressed as $t_{dev}=10.38d^{2.88}$ at $850^{\circ}C$, operation temperature of CFB and for even distribution and oxidation of RPF in CFB boiler, we found that the relationship of average dispersion distance (x) and particle size was $x{\leq}1.58d^{1.44}$.

As one of the methods for recycling the FRP from the waste ships, separation of roving layer from the mat has some merits in a sense of the eco-friendly and economical recycling process. Similar characteristics, however, between the roving and the mat even with different ratio of the resin and the glass and the thickness of the roving, much thinner than the mat, make the mechanically automatic differentiation difficult. In this study spectrochemical differentiation between the two layers has been made using boiling concentrated sulfuric acid, methanol and isopropanol solution saturated with KOH, or hydrogen fluoride (HF) solution. Furthermore efficiently coloring water-soluble dye following the HF treatment makes the roving layer more distinguishable photophysically. The layer differentiation and the automatic layer distraction move up the date of simple and automatic separation process for the waste FRP.
