This study focused on comparing the meteorological conditions in the Atmospheric Boundary Layer (ABL) on high-event days and non-event days in the Seoul Metropolitan Area (SMA). We utilized observed PM10 and meteorological variables at the surface as well as at the upper heights. The results showed that high-event days were consistently associated with lower wind speed, whereas wind direction showed no particular difference between high-event and non-event days with frequent westerlies and northwesterlies for both cases. During high-event days, the temperature was much warmer than the monthly normal values with a sharp increasing trend, and Relative Humidity (RH) was higher than the monthly normal, especially on high-event days in February. During high-event days in spring, a double inversion layer was present at surface and upper heights. This indicates that stability in the multi-layer is an important indicator of higher PM10 concentrations. Net radiation in spring and winter is also closely associated with higher PM10 concentrations. Strong net radiation resulted in large sensible heat, which in turn facilitated a deeper mixing height with diluted PM10 concentrations; in contrast, PM10 concentrations were higher when sensible heat in spring and winter was very low. We also confirmed that convective and friction velocity was higher on non-event days than on high-event days, and this was especially obvious in spring and winter. This indicated that thermal turbulence was dominant in spring, whereas in winter, mechanical turbulence was dominant over the SMA.

탄소섬유 스프레드 토우를 제조하는 과정에서 섬유 손상이 발생하며, 이는 스프레딩 과정에서 장비와 섬유 사이 혹은 섬유 간의 마찰로 발생한다. 이로 인해, 재료 및 장비조건에 따라 프로세스 성능에 차이가 발생하고, 제품 물성이 하락한다. 섬유 손상을 최소화하는 것은 스프레드 토우를 제조하는 공정에서 반드시 고려되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 공기를 이용한 탄소섬유 스프레딩 공정에서 탄소섬유의 필라멘트 수와 사이징 함량, 탄소섬유토우 스프레딩 장비의 공정 변수(초기섬유장력, 열풍온도, 진공압력)를 달리하여 스프레드 토우의 공정성능 변화를 관찰하였다. 탄소섬유 품종에 따른 조건 별 최적조건에서 제조된 샘플을 이용해 인장강도를 평가하여, 탄소섬유의 손상에 따른 기계적 물성 감소를 확인하였다.

It rains heavily, such as long rain and typhoons, during a typical rainy season in Korea. In this season, several fuel contamination accidents by water and vehicular problems caused by water contaminated fuel occur. Many research groups have studied the effects of water contaminated fuel on vehicles and environment. However the characteristics of water contaminated fuel have not been studied. In this study, we prepared diesel samples with a constant ratio of water (0~30 volume %) using an emulsifier. Then, we analyzed these diesel samples for their representative fuel properties. In the analytical results, diesel with 30% water showed an increase in fuel properties such as density (823→883 kg/㎥), kinematic viscosity (2.601→6.345 ㎟/s), flash point (47→56℃), pour point (-22→2℃), CFPP (cold filter plugging point) (-17→20℃) and copper corrosion number (1a→2a). The low temperature characteristics, such as low pour point and CFPP, blocks the fuel filter in the cold season. In addition, water contaminated diesel decreases lubricity (190→410 ㎛) under high frequency reciprocating rig (HFRR) and derived cetane number (54.81→34.25). The low lubricity of fuel causes vehicle problem such as pump and injector damage owing to severe friction. In addition, the low cetane diesel fuel increases exhaust gases such as NOx and particulate matters (PM) owing to incomplete combustion. This study can be used to identify the problems caused by water contamination to vehicle and fuel facilities.

This paper introduces the effect of grease on the degradation characteristics of bearings used as key components of packaging equipment and automation systems. Bearings parts are installed to fix and support the rotating body of the system, and performance degradation of the bearings has a great effect on the life of the system too. When bearings are used in various devices and systems, the grease is applied to reduce friction and improve fatigue life. Determining the type of lubricant (grease) is important because it has a great influence on the operating environment and lifespan and ensures long lifespan of systems and facilities. However, studies that simultaneously compared and analyzed the change in mechanical degradation characteristics and the comparison of chemical degradation characteristics according to grease types under actual operating conditions are insufficient. In this paper, three types of small harmonic drive, high-load reducer, and low-load reducer grease used in power transmission joint modules are experimentally selected and finally injected into ball bearings with a load (19,500N) to improve bearing durability. Degradation characteristics were tested by attaching to test equipment. At this time, after the durability test under the same load conditions, the mechanical degradation characteristics, that is temperature, vibration according to the three greases types. In addition, the chemical degradation characteristics of the corresponding grease was compared to present the results of mutual correlation analysis.

With the recent development of super-precision optical instruments, camera modules for devices, such as portable terminals and digital camera lenses, are increasingly being used. Since an optical lens is usually produced by high-temperature compression molding methods using tungsten carbide (WC) alloy molding cores, it is necessary to develop and study technology for super-precision processing of molding cores and coatings for the core surface. In this study, Rhenium-Iridium (Re-Ir) thin films were deposited onto a WC molding core using a sputtering system. The Re-Ir thin films were prepared by a multi-target sputtering technique, using iridium, rhenium, and chromium as the sources. Argon and nitrogen were introduced through an inlet into the chamber to be the plasma and reactive gases. The Re-Ir thin films were prepared with targets having a composition ratio of 30 : 70, and the Re-Ir thin films were formed with a 240 nm thickness. Re-Ir thin films on WC molding core were analyzed by scanning electron microscope (SEM), atomic force microscope (AFM), and Ra (the arithmetical average surface roughness). Also, adhesion strength and coefficient friction of Re-Ir thin films were examined. The Re-Ir coating technique has received intensive attention in the coating processes field because of promising features, such as hardness, high elasticity, abrasion resistance and mechanical stability that result from the process. Re-Ir coating technique has also been applied widely in industrial and biomedical applications. In this study, WC molding core was manufactured, using high-performance precision machining and the effects of the Re-Ir coating on the surface roughness.

미끄럼 저항은 타이어와 도로노면의 마찰저항을 나타내는 지수로 차량의 주행 안전성에 지대한 영향을 미친다. 타이어의 상태, 노면의 마모도, 주행속도, 노면의 건조, 습윤, 결빙 등에 따라 미끄럼저항의 크기는 달라진다. 특히 겨울철 도로노면의 경우 강설 후 기온강하에 도로포장표면이 결빙이 발생할 경우 미끄럼저항이 급격히 저하되며, 미끄럼저항을 회복하고자 제설 작업을 수행하게 된다. 제설작업 후에는 습윤상태로 노면조건이 바뀌게 되는데, 제설제가 노면에 잔류하게 되면 일반적인 습윤상태에서의 미끄럼저항을 확보치 못할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 국내 포장도로의 대다수를 차지하는 밀입도 아스팔트와 타이닝 콘크리트 포장노면에 대하여 실험실 조건에서 노면 결빙시, 제설중 제설후 잔류물이 노면에 있을 경우의 조건에서의 미끄럼저항을 정량적으로 평가하였다. 연구 결과 노면 결빙시 미끄럼저항 회복시간은 수용액 살포방법이 고체염 살포방법 보다 빠르며 제설제 중에는 소금이 가장 빠르게 나타났다. 노면에 잔류한 제설제는 콘크리트 시편이 아스팔트 시편보다 미끄럼저항 값이 높게 나타났으며 습윤 노면 상태와 비교시 미끄럼저항 확보율은 54~80% 이다.

This study analyzes the thermal effects on the performance of an air foil thrust bearing (AFTB) using COMSOL Multiphysics to approximate actual bearing behavior under real conditions. An AFTB is a sliding-thrust bearing that uses air as a lubricant to support the axial load. The AFTB consists of top and bump foils and supports the rotating disk through the hydrodynamic pressure generated by the wedge effect from the inclined surface of the top foil and the elastic deformation of the bump foils, similar to a spring. The use of air as a lubricant has some advantages such as low friction loss and less heat generation, enabling air bearings to be widely used in high-speed rotating systems. However, even in AFTB, the effects of energy loss due to viscosity at high speeds, interface frictional heat, and thermal deformation of the foil caused by temperature increase cannot be ignored. Foil deformation derived from the thermal effect influences the minimum decay in film thickness and enhances the film pressure. For these reasons, performance analyses of isothermal AFTBs have shown few discrepancies with real bearing behavior. To account for this phenomenon, a thermal-fluid-structure analysis is conducted to describe the combined mechanics. Results show that the load capacity under the thermal effect is slightly higher than that obtained from isothermal analysis. In addition, the push and pull effects on the top foil and bump foil-free edges can be simulated. The differences between the isothermal and thermal behaviors are discussed.

This study investigates the heat and mass transfer characteristics of a MoS₂ nanoparticle suspension in ethylene glycol over a porous stretching sheet. MoS₂ nanoparticles are known for their exceptional thermal and chemical stability which makes it convenient for enhancing the energy and mass transport properties of base fluids. Ethylene glycol, a common coolant in various industrial applications is utilized as the suspending medium due to its superior heat transfer properties. The effects of variable thermal conductivity, variable mass diffusivity, thermal radiation and thermophoresis which are crucial parameters in affecting the transport phenomena of nanofluids are taken into consideration. The governing partial differential equations representing the conservation of momentum, energy, and concentration are reduced to a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations using appropriate similarity transformations. R software and MATLAB-bvp5c are used to compute the solutions. The impact of key parameters, including the nanoparticle volume fraction, magnetic field, Prandtl number, and thermophoresis parameter on the flow, heat and mass transfer rates is systematically examined. The study reveals that the presence of MoS₂ nanoparticles curbs the friction between the fluid and the solid boundary. Moreover, the variable thermal conductivity controls the rate of heat transfer and variable mass diffusivity regulates the rate of mass transfer. The numerical and statistical results computed are mutually justified via tables. The results obtained from this investigation provide valuable insights into the design and optimization of systems involving nanofluid-based heat and mass transfer processes, such as solar collectors, chemical reactors, and heat exchangers. Furthermore, the findings contribute to a deeper understanding of stretching sheet systems, such as in manufacturing processes involving continuous casting or polymer film production. The incorporation of MoS₂-C₂H₆O₂ nanofluids can potentially optimize temperature distribution and fluid dynamics.

현재 도로터널에는 화재시 임계풍속을 유지할 수 있도록 제트팬을 설치하고 있으며, 제트팬 댓수는 임계풍속을 유지하기 위한 유동저항, 자연풍에 의한 환기저항, 열부력에 의한 환기저항을 고려하여 산정한다. 그러나, 국내의 경우, 제트팬 댓수 산정시 열부력은 고려하지 않고 있는 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 열부력이 제트팬 댓수에 미치는 영향을 검토하기 위해서 터널연장(500, 750, 1000, 1500, 2000, 3500 m) 및 경사도(-1.0, -1.5, -2.0%)를 변수로 하여 화재성장곡선에 따른 비정상상태의 수치 시뮬레이션을 수행하였으며, 열기류의 평균온도 및 열부력에 의한 압력손실을 검토하여 열부력이 제트팬 댓수에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 이에 본 연구에서는 화재로 인한 열부력을 고려하는 경우에 제트팬 댓수의 증가가 필요하며, 특히, 설계화재강도를 100 MW로 하는 경우에는 본 해석조건의 모든 범위에서 열부력에 의한 압력손실이 차량저항에 의한 압력손실의 최대치보다 증가하며, 현행설계기준을 적용하는 경우보다. 최소 2~11대의 제트팬 대수의 증가가 필요한 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 제연용 제트팬 용량 산정시 열부력에 대한 고려가 반드시 필요한 것으로 나타났다.
