For analyses of multi-phase flows in a water-cooled nuclear power plant, a three-dimensional SIMPLE-algorithm based hydrodynamic solver CUPID-S has been developed. As governing equations, it adopts a two-fluid three-field model for the two-phase flows. The three fields represent a continuous liquid, a dispersed droplets, and a vapour field. The governing equations are discretized by a finite volume method on an unstructured grid to handle the geometrical complexity of the nuclear reactors. The phasic momentum equations are coupled and solved with a sparse block Gauss-Seidel matrix solver to increase a numerical stability. The pressure correction equation derived by summing the phasic volume fraction equations is applied on the unstructured mesh in the context of a cell-centered co-located scheme. This paper presents the numerical method and the preliminary results of the calculations.

We have fabricated superconductor ceramics by chemical process. A high Tc superconductorwith a nominal composition of $Bi_{2}Sr_{2}Ca_{2}Cu_{3}O_y$ was prepared by the organic metal salts method. Experimental results suggest that the intermediate phase formed before the formation of the superconductor phase may be the most important factor. During the sintering, doped $Ag_{2}O$ was converted to Ag particles which were finely dispersed in superconductor samples.

Silver as a metal catalyst has been used to remove odorous compounds. In this study, silver particles in nano sizes ($5{\sim}30nm$) were prepared on the surface of $NaHCO_3$, the supporting material, using a sputtering method. The silver nano-particles were dispersed by dissolving $Ag-NaHCO_3$ into water, and the dispersed silver nano-particles in the aqueous phase was applied to remove inorganic odor compounds, $NH_3$ and ${H_2}O$, in a scrubbing reactor. Since ammonia has high solubility, it was removed from the gas phase even by spraying water in the scrubber. However, the concentration of nitrate (${NO_3}^-$) ion increased only in the silver nano-particle solution, implying that the silver nano-particles oxidized ammonia. Hydrogen sulfide in the gas phase was rapidly removed by the silver nano-particles, and the concentration of sulfate (${SO_4}^{2-}$) ion increased with time due to the oxidation reaction by silver. As a result, the silver nano-particles in the aqueous solution can be successfully applied to remove odorous compounds without adding additional energy sources and producing any harmful byproducts.

This study was conducted to develop new drying process for automatic control and marine engi-neering system. Air-water tests were carried out to investigate dryer performance. The dispersed flow in he dryer test apparatuses was also simulated by using a numerical code which solves the Dittus-Boelter equation for continuous liquid phase and the Reynolds equation of droplet motion for continuous liquid phase and the Reynolds equation of droplet motion for dispersed phase to predict droplet removal efficiency. Proper conditions for dehumidification were optimized by response ambient conditions. When the selected indexes were constrained in the range of 85-98% moisture content above $15^{\circ}$ and more than mass flow rates of moist air 750kg/h. The numerical results were compared with the experimental data pertaining to the removal effi-ciency at chamber stage and overall pressure drop along concentric tubes Good agreement was obtained as for the efficiency while relatively poor agreement was obtained for the relative humidity. The results also showed that the efficiency depended strongly on the relative humidity at the inlet condition which indicated the importance of estimating the heat exchanger length. Effects of some design parameters in both removal efficiency and breakthrough onset condition are discussed.

Resveratrol-loaded poly($\varepsilon$-caprolactone) (PCL) nanoparticles were prepared by oil in water (O/W) emulsion solvent evaporation method. The morphology of the nanoparticles was evaluated using atomic force microscope (AFM), in which well-shaped and rigid nanoparticles were prepared. The mean particle size of nanoparticles prepared using only dichloromethane (DCM) ($523.5{\pm}36.7\;nm$) was larger than that prepared with a mixture of DCM and either ethanol (EtOH) ($494.5{\pm}29.2\;nm$) or acetone ($493.5{\pm}6.9\;nm$). The encapsulation efficiency of nanoparticles prepared only with DCM as dispersed phase ($78.3{\pm}7.7%$) was the highest of those prepared with solvent mixtures. An increase in the molecular weight of PCL led to an increase in encapsulation efficiency (from $78.3{\pm}7.7$ to $91.4{\pm}3.2%$). Pluronic F-127 produced the smallest mean size ($523.5{\pm}36.7\;nm$) with the narrowest particle size distribution. These results show that dispersed phase, molecular weight of wall materials, emulsion stabilizer could be important factors to affect the properties of nanoparticles.

Zirconia gels dispersed with fine Au particles have been prepared by the sol-gel method. Starting solution with (OC$Zr_4$$H_{ 9}$)$_4$, $C_4$ $H_{9}$ OH, $H_2$O,$ HNO_3$, $HAuC1_4$ was used to prepare gels in several molar ratio. After hydrolysis, viscosity of solutions as 4∼5 cP and gelling time of sols were spent about 9 days. As the heat-treatment temperature was increased,$ ZrO_2$ had the phase transition from tetragonal to monoclinic at $750^{\circ}C$. Heat-treatments of the gel have performed at 500, 700, 750, 800, 1000 and $1100^{\circ}C$ for 3 hrs, respectively. We have investigated TG-DTA, X-ray diffraction patterns, SEM and EDS. The size of Au fine particles dispersed in the heat-treatmented gel was about 0.15∼0.23 $\mu\textrm{m}$ and the shape was most sphericity.

The pressure drop in a Venturi Scrubber is predicted using the Eulerian-Lagrangian Method, which is one of the numerical methods to solve the dispersed two-phase flow. KIVA-3V Code is modified to solve the coupled gas-liquid two-phase flow field. The liquid is assumed to be injected through the nozzles with the Rosin-Rammler drop size distribution. The computational results shows good agreement with the experimental data.

고농축에멀션중합방법을 이용하여 친수성-친유성 고분자복합소재를 합성하였다. w/o 형태의 고농축에멀션의 연속상은 styrene이며, 분산상은 수용성 acrylamide용액으로 분산상의 부피분율이 0.74 이상이다. 중합온도에서 에멀션의 안정성에 미치는 주요 요인들로는 친유성액체와 친수성액체의 물리화학적 특성인 극성, pH, 이온세기 및 계면활성제의 종류와 농도가 있다. 친유성액체와 친수성액체 사이의 계면장력이나 친수성액체와 계면활성제 수용액사이의 계면장력에 있어 계면장력의 값이 큰 경우는 높은 에멀션의 안정성을 나타낸다. 계면활성제의 HLB가 3.0~9.0 경우와 계면활성제의 농도가 CMC가 이상에서 에멀션이 높은 안정성을 나타낸다. 전자현미경을 이용한 조사에 의하며 복합재료는 분산상의 Poly acrylamide입자가 망상구조의 얇은 polystyrene필림에 의해 분리된 구조로 이루어져 있음을 보여주고 있다. 고농축에멀션에서부터합성된 고분자복합재료막은 물-에탄온 혼합물에서 물에 대해서 높은 선택성을 나타내었으며, 또 에탄올의 농도가 증가할수록 막의 선택도는 증가하였으나 투과속도는 감소함을 나타내었다.

The novel microsphere blending and multiple emulsion method by single process was tried to prepare sustained release microspheres which release a physiologically active substance for long periods of time. A drug was separately dissolved in each of two or more oils containing biodegradable polymers to give the primary oil phases. The primary oil phases were dispersed in single aqueous phase in succession. From the drug-dispersed solution, the organic solvent was removed to produce microspheres. The accelerated drug release from the microsphere formulation prepared by single process through the multiple emulsion method was very similar to a physical blending of separately prepared microspheres using the same polymers. But long term release was not same. In this study, leuprorelin acetate loaded poly(lactide-co-glycolide) microsphere formulation for one-month delivery was developed by the multi-emulsion method followed by solvent extraction/evaporation method.

SPG (Shirasu porous glass) 관형 막이 설치된 회분식 막유화 장치를 사용하여 단분산 칼슘 알지네이트 미립자를 제조하기 위한 막유화 공정변수의 최적조건을 결정하였다. 막유화의 공정변수로는 연속상에 대한 분산상의 비율, 알지네이트 농도, 유화제의 종류와 농도, 안정제 농도, 가교제 농도, 교반속도, 막간 압력차 및 SPG 막의 세공크기로 설정하고, 이들 변수가 제조된 알지네이트 미립자의 입자 크기와 분포에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 막유화의 공정변수들 중에서 연속상에 대한 분산상의 비율, 막간 압력차 그리고 알지네이트 농도가 증가할수록 미립자의 크기가 증가하였다. 반면 유화제의 농도, 교반속도 그리고 가교제의 농도가 증가할수록 미립자의 크기가 감소하였다. 세공 크기 $2.9{\mu}\textrm{m}$인 SPG막을 사용한 경우 막유화의 공정변수 조절을 통해 최종적으로 평균 입자 크기 $6{\mu}\textrm{m}$, 크기 분산도 1.1인 단분산 알지네이트 미립자의 제조가 가능하였다.
