I-III-VI족 화합물 반도체인 $CuInS_2$(CIS) 박막은 Cu(In,Ga)$Se_2$에 비해서 독성원소를 사용하지 않으므로 환경 친화적이고 Ga, Se를 사용하지 않아 조성의 조절이 쉬우며 태양전지의 이상적인 밴드갭인 1.5 eV에 근접한 1.53 eV의 직접천이형 에너지 밴드갭을 가지고 있어 태양전지의 광흡수층으로써 유망한 재료이다. CIS 박막 증착에는 다양한 방법이 있으며 본 연구에서는 chamber를 진공으로 만들고 CIS를 구성하는 용액으로부터 미립자화 된 입자를 노즐을 통하여 팽창시켜 에어로졸을 생성하고 입자들의 운동에너지를 증착에 직접 이용 할 수 있는 Aerosol Jet Deposition (AJD)라는 방법을 이용하려고 한다. 이 방법은 높은 증착속도로 우수한 박막을 성장시킬 수 있는 저비용 및 단순공정으로 CIS를 증착 할 수 있는 새로운 방법이다. 물을 용매로 하여 수용액 상태의 $CuCl_2{\cdot}2H_2O$, $InCl_3$, $(NH_2)_2CS$를 혼합하여 CIS 용액을 제조하고 carrier gas를 주입하여 CIS 용액을 노즐로 이동시켜 팽창시킨다. 용액이 팽창되면서 온도가 감소하여 응축이 일어나며 이 응축된 용액이 가열된 기판 위에 충돌하여 용매가 증발하면서 결정화된 CIS가 증착이 된다. CIS의 특성은 용액의 전구체 비율, 기판 온도, 팽창 전 압력, chamber 압력 등의 영향을 받는데 본 연구에서는 기판 온도를 증착변수로 선택하여 CIS 박막을 증착하고 박막의 특성을 고찰하고자 한다.

An Eulerian-Lagrangin approach is used to compute particle dispersion from a power plant chimney. For air flow, three-dimensional incompressible filtered Navier-Stokes equations are solved with a subgrid-scale model by integrating the Newton's equation, while the dispersed phase is solved in a Lagrangian framework. The velocity ratios between crossflow and a jet of 0.455 and 0.727 are considered. Flow fields and particle distribution of both cases are evaluated and compared. When the velocity ratio is 0.455, it demonstrates a Kelvin-Helmholtz vortex structure above the chimney caused by the interaction between crossflow and a jet, whereas the other case shows flow structures at the top of the chimney collapsed by fast crossflow. Also, complex wake structures cause different particle distributions behind the chimney. The case with the velocity ratio of 0.727 demonstrates strong particle concentration at the vortical region, whereas the case with the velocity ratio of 0.455 shows more dispersive particle distribution. The simulation result shows similar tendency to the experimental result.

The performance of the ammonia injection gun (AIG) used for maximizing the utilization of reducing agent in the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system is decided by several parameters such as the pattern of flow distribution, geometry of the air distribution manifold (ADM) and the array and geometry of nozzles. In the study, the uniformity of jet flows from the nozzles in AIG was analyzed statistically by using the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method to evaluate the role of design parameters on the performance of the SCR system. The uniformity of jet flows from the nozzles is being deteriorated with increasing the supplying flow rate to the AIG. Distribution rates to each branch pipe become lower with decreasing distance to the header, and flow rates from nozzle are also reduced with decreasing distance to the header. The uniformity of jet flows from nozzles becomes stable significantly when the ratio of summative area of nozzles to each sectional area of the branch pipe is below 0.5.

Surface modification of silica nanoparticles was investigated using an aerosol self assembly. Stearic acid was used as surface treating agent. A two-fluid jet nozzle was employed to generate an aerosol of the colloidal suspension, which contained 20 nm of silica nanoparticles, surface modifier, and ethyl alcohol. Powder properties such as morphology, specific surface area and pore size distribution were analyzed by SEM, BET and BJH methods, respectively. Surface properties of the silica power were analyzed by FT-IR. The OH bond of the $SiO_2$ surface was converted to a C-H bond. It was revealed that the hydrophilic surface changed to a hydrophobic one due to the aerosol self assembly. Morphology of the surface treated powder was nanostructured with lots of pores having an average diameter of around $2\;{\mu}m$. Depending on the stearic acid concentration (0.25 to 1.0 wt%), the pore size distribution of the particles and the degree of hydrophobicity ranged from 1.5 nm to 180 nm and 29.6% to 50.2%, respectively.

A study was conducted to scrutinize the behavior of the ultrasonically-atomized kerosene lifted-flame according to the carrier gas flow-rate and position of ultrasonic standing wave (USW). The combustion region of the kerosene-aerosol generated through a slit-jet nozzle was visualized using a DSLR, ICCD, high-speed camera, and Schlieren technique, and the fuel consumption was measured by using a precision balance. As a result, the flame was confined within the region bounded by the USW-field, and the fuel consumption decreased as the position of the USW field increased.

Four types of BaTiO₃ powders are prepared and successfully deposited on glass and Pt/Si substrates using the aerosol deposition process. Particles with sizes of 0.45 ㎛ and 0.3 ㎛ are selected as the starting powder, while those powders are treated using a different milling method. The jet-milled and ball-milled powders not only showed a smaller particle-size distribution, but compared with the non-milled powder, it also had a higher deposition rate using the uniformly generated aerosol. Although the films deposited using particles with size 0.45 ㎛ exhibited some craters on the surface, significantly flat film surfaces were obtained. However, particles with size 0.3 ㎛ create a slightly rough film surface, but the dielectric constant was greater than in the case involving particles with size 0.45 ㎛. Consequently, a suitably large particle size significantly influences the deposition rate and improvement in the surface roughness, and a uniform particle size distribution appears to contribute to an improved dielectric constant. Therefore, it is believed that the dielectric properties along with the growth characteristics can be enhanced by limiting particle size and shape.

Asian dust(or yellow sand) occurs mainly in spring and occasionally in winter in east Asia, when the weather conditions are under an upper trough/cut-off low and surface high/low pressure system during blocking episode days associated with the stationary patterns of the upper level jet stream. The transport mechanism for Asian dust during the blocking episode days in spring 2001 was analyzed using the TOMS aerosol index and meteorological mesoscale model 5(MM5). Based on the E vector, an extension of an Eliassen-Palm flux, the blocking episode days were found to be associated with the development of an upper cut-off low and surface cyclones. Concurrently, the occurrence of dust storms was also determined by strong cold advection at the rear of a jet streak, which exhibited a maximum wind speed within the upper jet stream. As such, the transport mechanism for Asian dust from China was due to advection of the isentropic potential vorticity(IPV) and isentropic surfaces associated with tropopause folding. The transport heights for Asian dust during the blocking episode days were found to be associated with the distribution of the isentropes below the IPV At the same time, lee waves propagated by topography affected the downward motion and blocking of Asian dust in China. The Asian dust transported from the dust source regions was deposited by fallout and rain-out with a reinforcing frontogenesis within a surface cyclone, as determined from satellite images using TOMS and GMS5. Accordingly, these results emphasize the importance of forecasting jet streaks, the IPV, and isentropes with geopotential heights in east Asia.

This paper deals with the simulation of solid particle coating technology via supersonic nozzle in vacuum environment to devote as an aerosol-deposition device. In order to improve efficiencies of nozzle and coating process, effects of shockwave, nozzle geometry, and substrate location were studied computationally under a fixed chamber pressure of 0.01316 bar which is nearly vacuous. Shockwave is the important factor affect to entire flow because shockwave in the jet flow dissipates the kinetic energy of the flow in the supersonic condition. Results show that various nozzle geometries have significant effect on the supersonic flow and we know that the supersonic nozzle should be optimized to minimize the loss of the flow. Another parameter, the distance between substrate and nozzle tip, shows little effect in this study.

Particulate matter (PM) is one of the major indoor air pollutants especially in the subway station in Korea. In order to remove PM in the subway station, several kinds of PM removal system such as roll-filter, auto-washable air filter, demister, and electrostatic precipitator are used in the air handling unit (AHU) of subway stations. However, those systems are prone to operation and maintenance problems since the filter-regeneration unit consisting of electrical or water jet parts might malfunction due to the high load of particulates unless the filter medium is periodically replaced. In this study, the use of axial-flow cyclone was proposed for particulate filter unit in the AHU for its low operation and maintenance cost. Novel shape of axial-flow cyclone was designed by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The shape of vortex vane was optimized in terms of pressure drop and tangential velocity. In addition, CFD analysis was validated experimentally through the pressure drop measurement of mock-up model. We found that pressure drop and tangential velocity of fluid through the axia-flow cyclone was significantly affected by the rotating degree of vortex vane and the numerical prediction of pressure drop agreed well with experimental measurement.

In this work, we developed and evaluated the Liquid Particle Generator for generating fine particles in the air. The Liquid Particle Generator, which was based on the spray-evaporation method, had two kinds of orifices: 0.3 mm and 0.5 mm. The Liquid Particle Generator was operated at different pressure between 1 bar and 4 bars to find relationship between input pressure and droplet output rate. In addition, the size distribution of the droplets generated by the Liquid Particle Generator with different orifices was measured by the SMPS system and the optical particle counter. As a result, it was shown that the Liquid Particle Generator with 0.3 mm orifice generated droplets of around 0.3 ${\mu}m$ and atomized particles very stably. The Liquid Particle Generator having 0.5 mm orifice generated bigger droplets, compared with the Liquid Particle Generator with 0.3 mm orifice. Additionally, in these Liquid Particle Generators (0.3 mm and 0.5 mm orifice), little coagulation of particles did occur because of fine droplets atomized by the jet. Therefore, the Liquid Particle Generator could be used as an aerosol generator for atomizing fine particles.
