Selection of flow channel in the separation plate of PEMFC is very important parameter to improve its performance and reduce parasite loss. Flow patterns in the channel have great influence on the transport of hydrogen and all and water generated from electrochemical reaction in diffusion layer In this study, fluid flow in flow channel with parallel and interdigitated patterns are simulated three dimensionally on full flow domain including anode and cathode electrode together. The numerical results show that the fuel cell with interdigitated flow channel represents better performance than that with parallel flow channel due to its strong convective transport across the gas diffusion layer. But the pressure drop in parallel flow channel is much more than that in nterdigitated flow channel. The effect of temperature and stoichiometric number on performance can be calculated and analyzed as well.

To investigate the characteristics of water droplet on the gas diffusion layer from both top-view and side-view of the flow channel, a rig test apparatus was designed and fabricated with prism attached plate. This experimental device is used to simulate the growth of single liquid water droplet and its transport process with various air flow velocity and channel height. The contact angle hysteresis and height of water droplet are measured and analyzed. It is found that droplet tends towards to be instable by decreasing channel height, increasing flow velocity or making GDL more hydrophobic. Also, the simplified force balance model matches with experimental data only in a restricted range of operating conditions and shows discrepancy as the air flow velocity and channel height increases.

본 연구에서는 고출력 레이저에 의한 고에너지 물질의 점화 현상 모델을 제시하였다. 본 모델에서는 강판에 긴 조사 시간을 가진 펄스 레이저를 조사하여 발생한 어블레이션에 의한 열 확산을 고려하였고, 수 kW의 continuous 레이저를 폭약에 조사하여 폭약이 열에 의하여 점화하는 현상을 실험 결과와 비교를 통해 검증하였다. 여기서는 매우 짧은 조사 시간(femto- 혹은 pico-second)을 가진 펄스 레이저에서 나타나는 전자에 의한 효과는 무시 되었다. 본 연구에 사용된 폭약은 RDX, TATB 그리고 HMX이며, 제시한 모델은 실험 결과와 흡사한 결과를 도출하였다.

For the development of high efficiency and low emission combustion systems, high temperature air combustion technology has been tested by utilizing preheated air over 1100 K and exhaust gas recirculation. In this system, combustion air is diluted with large amount of exhaust gases ($N_2$, $CO_2$), such that the oxygen concentration is relatively low in the reaction zone, leading to low flame temperature. Since, the temperature fluctuations and sound emissions form the flame are small and flame luminosity is low, the combustion mode is expected to be flameless or mild combustion. Experiment was performed to investigate the turbulent flame structure and $NO_X$ emission characteristics in the high temperature air combustion focused on coflowing jet diffusion flames which has a fundamental structure of many practical combustion systems. The effect of turbulence has also been evaluated by installing perforated plate in the oxidizer inlet nozzle. LPG was used as a fuel. Results showed that even though $NO_X$ emission is sensitive to the combustion air temperature, the present high temperature air combustion system produce low $NO_X$ emission because it is operated in low oxygen concentration condition in excess of dilution.

Partial quenching structure of turbulent diffusion flames in a turbulent mixing layer is investigated by the method of flame hole dynamics in order to develop a prediction model for turbulent flame lift off. The essence of flame hole dynamics is derivation of the random walk mapping, from the flame-edge theory, which governs expansion or contraction of flame holes initially created by local quenching events. The numerical simulation for flame hole dynamics is carried out in two stages. First, a direct numerical simulation is performed for constant-density fuel-air channel mixing layer to obtain the turbulent flow and mixing fields, from which a time series of two dimensional scalar dissipation rate array is extracted at a fixed virtual flame surface horizontally extending from the end of split plate to the downstream. Then, the Lagrangian simulation of the flame hole random walk mapping projected to the scalar dissipation rate array yields temporally evolving turbulent extinction process and its statistics on partial quenching characteristics. The statistical results exhibit that the chance of partial quenching is strongly influenced by the crossover scalar dissipation rate while almost unaffected by the iteration number of the mapping that can be regarded as a flame-edge speed.

Selection of flow channel in the separation plate of PEMFC is very important parameter to improve its performance and reduce parasite loss. Flow patterns in the channel have great influence on the transport of hydrogen and air and removal of water generated from electrochemical reaction in diffusion layer.

The numerical results show that the fuel cell with interdigitated flow channel represents better performance than that with parallel flow channel due to its strong convective transport across the gas diffusion layer. But the pressure drop in parallel flow channel is much more than that in interdigitated flow channel. And effects of temperature and stoichiometric number on performance can be calculated and analyzed as well. Nomenclature.

Stainless steels (AISI 316L) are carburized by Inductively coupled plasma using $CH_4$ and Ar gas. The ${\gamma}_c$ phase(S-phase) is formed on the surface of stainless steel after carburizing process. The XRD peak of carburized samples is shifted to lower diffracting angle due to lattice expansion. Overall, the thickness of ${\gamma}_c$ phase showed a linear dependence with respect to increasing temperature due to the faster rate of diffusion of carbon. However, at temperatures above 500, the thickness data deviated from the linear trend. It is expected that the deviation was caused from atomic diffusion as well as other reactions that occurred at high temperatures. The interfacial contact resistance (ICR) and corrosion resistance are measured in a simulated proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) environment. The ICR value of the carburized samples decreased from 130 $m{\Omega}cm^2$ (AISI 316L) to about 20 $m{\Omega}cm^2$. The sample carburized at 200 showed the best corrosion current density (6 ${\mu}Acm^{-2}$).

Models based on diffusion-limited aggregation (DLA) have been extensively used to explore the mechanisms of dendritic particle aggregation phenomena. The physical and chemical properties of systems in which DLA aggregates emerge are given in their fractal. In this paper, we present a comprehensive study of the growth of electrodeposited copper dendrites in flat plate electrochemical cells from a fractal perspective. The effects of growth time, applied voltage, copper ion concentration, and electrolyte acidity on the morphology and fractal dimension of deposited copper were examined. 'Phase diagram' set out the variety of electrodeposited copper fractal morphology analysed by metallographic microscopy. The box counting method confirms that the electrodeposited dendritic structures manifestly exhibit fractal character. It was found that with the increase of the voltage and copper ion concentration. The fractal copper size becomes larger and its morphology shifts towards a dendritic structure, with the fractal dimension fluctuating around 1.60-1.70. In addition, the morphology of the deposited copper is significantly affected by the acidity of the electrolyte. The increase in acidity from 0.01 to 1.00 mol/L intensifies the hydrogen precipitation side reactions and the overflow path of hydrogen bubbles affects the fractal growth of copper dendrites.

샌드위치패널은 양면이 철판이며 단열재로 접착된 특징을 갖는 건축자재로서 시공의 간편성, 자재비용의 경제성 등의 장점으로 공장 및 창고 구조물 등에 사용되고 있다. 그러나 샌드위치패널의 연속적 결합으로 시공되는 패널구조물은 패널과 패널이 연결되는 조인트 부위가 발생하게 된다 조인트부위는 화재시 철판의 용융과 변형으로 화염이 쉽게 유입되며 화재에 취약한 부위이다. 패널 내에 유입된 화염은 급속한 연소로 인해 화재확산을 유발하며 인명 및 재산피해를 발생시킨다. 본 연구에서는 샌드위치패널의 화재확산을 방지하기 위한 화재확산방지플레이트를 개발하였다. 이는 기존 선행연구에서 4면의 패널 접합면을 화재확산방지 재료로 시공하는 방법에서 접합면에 개발 플레이트를 끼우는 방식으로 시공이 용이하게 개선된 것으로서 패널과 패널이 결합되는 연결부에 자립하여 적용 가능하며 화염의 유입 및 화재확산을 방지하도록 고안하였다. 샌드위치패널 시험체에 대해 KS F ISO 13784-1 시험방법의 실물화재시험을 수행하였으며, 패널 연결부에 화재확산방지플레이트의 적용 유무에 따른 연소거동을 파악하고 그 효과를 측정하였다. 시험결과 패널 연결부에 화재확산방지플레이트를 삽입하는 것은 플래시오버의 지연, 시험체의 붕괴방지, 개구부의 온도상승을 지연시키는 것으로 측정되었으며, 효과적으로 패널구조물이 화재안전성을 확보할 수 있는 방안으로 확인되었다. 화재에 취약한 패널 연결부에 시공성과 경제성이 확보된 다양한 방식의 화재확산방지용 시공방법을 적용하는 것은 구조물의 화재안전성을 확보하는데 기여할 것으로 판단된다.

Zr(1.32mm) 판재 위 $Be-Zr(100{\mu}m)$ 합금층의 평가를 목적으로 후방산란 초음파 의 입사각 의존성인 프로파일이 여러 입사위치에서 측정되었다. 누설 램(Lamb)파로부터 후방복사된 초음파 프로파일에는 4개의 주요 세부 프로파일이 발견되었다. 세부프로파일들의 정점각과 정점세기는 Be 확산층의 강화효과로 인해 감소하였다. 세부 프로파일들의 존재와 변화가 시편재질의 음향학적 특성, 램파모드들의 군속도 집단적 변화 그리고 표면파의 누설율 차이 등으로 설명되었다 판재 위 얇은 확산층의 평가를 위한 유용한 평가 기법으로 판재로부터의 후방복사 세부 프로파일이 제안되었다.
