In order to improve the performance of a free power turbine type gas turbine engine by injecting the atomized water into a compressor inlet., a study on Moisture Air Turbine (MAT) cycle was proposed. Compressor work by air-water mixtures in phase change was theoretically considered, and it was found that the water evaporation might reduce the compressor work. Cycle model calculations predicted that power increments of 16.2%, 14.9% and 12.6% by 1.0% water to the air flow rate at the compressor intake with rotational shaft speeds of 1000, 1210, 1350 rps were obtained, and also thermal efficiency due to the reduction of compressor work was improved.

Regeration of natural tissuesor to create biological substitutes for defective or lost tissues and organs through the use of cells. In addition to cells and their porous, drugs are required to promote tissue regeneration. Therefore, the present studies were prepared using simvastatim loaded porous poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) by double emulsion solvent evaporation water-in-oil-in-water technique (W/O/W) as drug delivery system strategies for injuring tissue. The resulting microspheres were evaluated for morphology, particle size, encapsulation efficiency, degradation of PLGA microspheres in vitro drug release and in vitro cell viability. Scanning electronic microscopic (SEM) showed that the porosities of the particles was changed by experimental conditions and cultured cells were attached well on porous microspheres surface. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calometry (DSC) analysis indicate thatsimvastatim was highly dipersed in the microsphere at amorphousstate.

For the favorable performance of a D.I. diesel engine, it is important to improve the mixture formation process and the ensuing early stage of combustion process. In the present paper, high speed photography was employed to investigate the effectiveness of a cavity digged in a piston crown for some more useful utilization of air. The cavity would function to improve mixing of fuel and air by the increase of turbulence of air and by the impingement of fuel spray on the cavity wall. The results obtained are summarized as follows: (1) From an aspect of thermal efficiency, it is effective to inject the spray tangentially to the cavity wall to enlarge the area of spray evaporation. (2) some deductions obtained from previous investigations using a hot air stream duct are supported by the present results. For example, it is effective for the quick development of flames throughout the combustion chamber to mix the evaporated fuel of main spray with the intermediates brought about by the early stage of combustion of the preceded auxiliary fuel spray.

A macro spreadsheet model, WEANES (Wet Pond Annual Efficiency Simulation Model), has been developed to predict the long-term or annual removal efficiencies of wet retention/detention basins. The model uses historical, site-specific, multi-year, rainfall data, usually available from a nearby National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) climatological station to estimate basin efficiencies which are calculated based on annual mass loads. Other required input parameters are: 1) watershed parameters; drainage area, pervious curve number, directly connected impervious area, and ti me of concentration, 2) pond parameters; control and overflow elevations, pond side slopes, surface areas at control elevation and pond bottom; 3) outlet structure parameters; 4) pollutant event mean concentrations; and 5) pond loss rate which is defined as the net loss due to evaporation, infiltration and water reuse. The model offers default options for parameters such as pollutant event mean concentrations and pond loss rate. The model can serve as a design, planning, and permitting tool for consulting engineers, planners and government regulators.

An indium thin oxide(ITO) is used as a substrate material for organic light-emitting diodes(OLEDs) and organic photovoltaic cells. This study examined the effects of an $O_2$ plasma treatment on the electrical properties of an organic photovoltaic cell. The four probe method and Atomic force microscope(AFM) revealed the lowest surface resistance at the plasma treatment intensity of 250 [W] and the lowest average surface roughness of 2.0 [nm] at 250 [W]. The lowest average resistance of 17 [${\Omega}$/sq] was also observed at 250 [W] 40 [sec]. The $O_2$ plasma treatment device and a basic device in a structure of CuPc/C60/BCP/Al on ITO glass were fabricated by thermal evaporation, respectively. When the $O_2$ plasma treatment was used to the ITO, The experimental results revealed that the power conversion efficiency(PCE) indicated 65 [%] higher in the PCE than that without the plasma treatment.

The thermosyphon has been used as a heat transmission device in the heat recovery of low level energy and cooling for heat generating equipments. Many studies on the working fluids and wicks have been reported to improve the heat transfer efficiency of the thermosyphon. A low temperature heat pipe with acetone is chosen in the present study to compare the heat transfer characteristics due to pouring amount of working fluid, magnitude of power supplied and tilt angles. The thermosyphon made ⵁ$15.88{\times}0.8t{\times}600mm$ of copper, evaporation section 200mm, insulation section 25mm, condensation 375mm. Heat transfer rate of the thermosyphon increase as magnitude of power supplied increase and observe dry out phenomenon at 5~10% of pouring amount of working fluid. So thermosyphon at the 150kJ/s judged to need 12% or more. Heat transfer rate of the thermosyphon have nothing to do with tilt angles. Dry out phenomenon of the thermo syphon makes it possible that a low temperature thermosyphon may be used to control temperature and heat transfer of a system when the critical quantity of a working fluid is supplied in the thermosyphon.

Recently consideration of health and interest on bio aerosols have been growing steadily. In this study, inertial impactor, which can be used to collect airborne particles and bio aerosols, was newly devised for real-time observation on the particles collected on impaction plate. and named Visual Impactor. Flow field and particle trajectory in the space between nozzle and impaction plate was analyzed numerically, and the collection effciencies were calculated. Calibration and performance evaluation of the Visual Impactor was conducted with polydisperse aerosols generated from 0.1％ sodium chloride solution. Cut-off diameter from numerical simulation was in good agreement with that from experimental results. Because of particle bounce and particle deposition on nozzle tip due to short jet-to-plate distance, the collection efficiencies from numerical and experimental analyses were different slightly. Visual Impactor was used to collect airborne particles, and the features of collected particles could be seen in real-time. Airborne particles in different weather conditions (fine, cloudy, and rainy) were sampled and compared one another The features of collected airborne particles were dependent strongly upon relative humidity. In addition, with hours elapsing, shapes and colors of collected particles were changed by evaporation and surface tension, etc.

In order to reduce exhaust omissions of spark ignition engine, it is important not only to improve catalyst conversion efficiency but also to directly reduce engine out exhaust emissions, during cold starting and warm up process. Therefore many researchers have been attracted to develop an early fuel evaporator(EFE) by Introducing a ceramic heater fur a solution of engine out exhaust emissions in SI engine. But, the performance of the EFE in MPI engine to reduce the exhaust emissions and to improve the cold startability has not been clarified yet. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of a glow plug far EFE. Impinging spray using heated and unheated glow plug helps the vaporization of the fuel and heat up the three way catalyst sufficiently. The amount of CO, and UHC is reduced overall. The amount of NOx is higher at the initial stage, but become lower as time goes on than without glow plug.

BAlq was fabricated as for hole blocking layer in the OLED devices to investigate its electrical and optical characteristics. Device structure was ITO/$\alpha$ -NPD/EML/BAlq/Alq3/Al:Li using TYG-201, DPVBi (4, 4 - Bis (2, 2 - diphenylethen-1 - yls) - Biphenyl), Alq and DCJTB (4-(dicyanomethylene)-2- (1-propyls)6-methy 4H-pyrans) as green emitting material, blue emitting material, host material for red emission and red emitting guest material respectively. The OLED device showed optimum working voltage and electron density at 600 cd/$m^2$ when thickness of BAlq is 25$\AA$ for RGB OLED devices while their efficiencies are better at 50$\AA$ of BAlq. Red and blue color OLEDs also fabricated using 30$\AA$ thickness of BAlq and compared with those without BAlq layer. BAlq was more effective in electrical properties such as working voltage, current density and efficiency of red OLED than blue and green ones. This study describes that 30$\AA$ is optimum thickness of BAlq for best performance of full color OLED devices when using BAlq as a hole blocking material.
