The gas permeation performance of commercially available polyetherimide (Ultem$\^$/) is simulated by means of molecular dynamics methods. By the observation of trajectory, long distance hopping of gas molecules is needed to transverse from top to bottom of membrane. Two possibilities mechanism of diffusion phenomena through glassy polymers can be issued. Diffusion coefficients were calculated by Einstein relation equation. In solubility simulation, the value of the constants C'$\_$H/ and b for O$_2$ at 300 K were calculated. The diffusion and solubility coefficient of He for PEI were simulated in this simulation work. the permeability coefficient is 9.88 Barrer. This value is closed to experimental value of 9.4 Barrer.

In this article we introduce computer models that have been developed in the past to determine the concentration of metabolic gases, the oxygen and carbon dioxide, along the pulmonary circulation. The terminal concentration of these gases in the arterial blood is related with the total change of the partial pressure of the same gases in the alveoli for the time beginning with inspiration and ending with expiration. It is affected not only by the ventilation-perfusion ratio and the gas diffusion capacity of the lung membrane but also by the pulmonary defect such as shunt, dead space, diffusion impairment and ventilation-perfusion mismatch. Some pathological pulmonary symptoms such as ARDS and CDPD can be understood through the mathematical models of these pulmonary dysfunctions. Quantitative study on the blood oxygenation process using various computer models is therefore of foremost importance in order to monitor not only the pulmonary health but also the cardiac output and cell metabolism. Reviewed in this paper include the basic and advanced methods that enable numerical study on the gas exchange and on the arterial oxygenation process, which might depend on the various heart and lung physiological conditions listed above.

The present study has been conducted to analytically investigate the thermal control performance of variable conductance heat pipe(YCHP) with axial grooves. The condenser port of the YCHP is occupied by a inert gas in which the concentration of gas is varied with the operation temperature and the heat transport capacity is thus varied with the operating temperature due to the variation of inert gas concentration. In this study, numerical evaluation for the thermal control of the YCHP with axial grooves is made from the 1st order diffusion model that considers the diffusive expansion of inert gas by concentration gradient. Ammonia is used as a working fluid and Nitrogen as a control gas in the Aluminum tube. As a result, the thermal performance of YCHP based on diffusion model has been compared with that of YCHP from flat front model. Additionally, it is found that the concentration of inert gas is distributed in the condenser region of YCHP with axial grooves.

Numerical analysis was conducted to characterize the gas flow field and particle deposition on a horizontal freestanding semiconductor wafer under the laminar flow field at vacuum environment. In order to calculate the properties of gas, the gas was assumed to obey the ideal gas law. The particle transport mechanisms considered were convection, Brownian diffusion and gravitational settling. The averaged particle deposition velocities and their radial distributions fnr the upper surface of the wafer were calculated from the particle concentration equation in an Eulerian frame of reference for system pressures of 1 mbar~1 atm and particle sizes of 2nm~10$^4$ nm(10 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$). It was observed that as the system pressure decreases, the boundary layer of gas flow becomes thicker and the deposition velocities are increased over the whole range of particle size. One thing to be noted here is that the deposition velocities are increased in the diffusion dominant particle size range with decreasing system pressure, whereas the thickness of the boundary layer is larger. This contradiction is attributed to the increase of particle mechanical mobility and the consequent increase of Brownian diffusion with decreasing the system pressure. The present numerical results showed good agreement with the results of the approximate model and the available experimental data.

A series of hydroxyl-group containing polyimides (HPIs) were prepared in order to investigate the structure-gas permeation property relationship. Each polymer membrane had structural characteristics that varied according to the dianhydride monomers. The imidization processes were monitored using spectroscopic and thermog-ravimetric analyses. The single gas permeability of He, $H_2$, $CO_2$, $O_2$, $N_2$ and $CH_4$ were measured and compared in order to determine the effect of the polymer structure and functional -OH groups on the gas transport properties. Surprisingly, the ideal selectivity of $CO_2/CH_4$ and $H_2/CH_4$ increased with increasing level of -OH incorporation, which affected the diffusion of $H_2$ or the solubility of $CO_2$ in HPIs. For $H_2/CH_4$ separation, the difference in the diffusion coefficients of $H_2$ and $CH_4$ was the main factor for improving the performance without showing any changes in the solubility coefficients. However, the solubility coefficient of $CO_2$ in the HPIs increased at least four fold compared with the conventional polyimide membranes depending on the polymer structures. Based on these results, the polymer membranes modified with -OH groups in the polymer backbone showed favorable gas permeation and separation performance.

연료전지 시스템에서 잔류 수분의 제거과정은 연료전지의 성능 및 수명 관리를 위해 중요한 과정이다. 효과적인 수분 제거과정의 설계를 위해서는 연료전지내의 수분 제거 특성에 대한 이해가 필수적이다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 연료전지의 다공성막인 가스확산층을 통한 수분증발량을 정상상태에서 측정하는 실험 기법을 개발하였다. 이 기법을 이용하여 연료전지의 잔류수분 제거 현상을 모사하는 실험장치를 개발하였다. 그리고 건조가스와 가스확산층의 변수가 수분에 미치는 영향을 실험적으로 측정하였다. 건조가스의 습도가 낮고, 유량이 높을수록 가스확산층을 통해 증발되는 수분량이 높았다. 또한 가스확산층의 두께가 얇을수록 수분 증발량이 높은 특성을 확인하였다.

GMS(generalized Maxwell Stefan) 모형을 이용하여 나노기공성 TPABr (Tetrapropylammoniumbromide) templating 실리카/알루미나 복합막에서 $CO_2$와 $N_2$의 투과 및 분리 특성을 해석하였다. 담체로 쓰이는 메조포러스 알루미나 지지체에서의 기체 투과는 누슨 확산 (Knudsen diffusion) 및 점성 확산 (viscous diffusion 혹은 Poiseuille flow)에 의존하였으며, 이러한 투과메커니즘은 DGM (dusty gas model)을 통하여 규명할 수 있었다. 본 연구에 사용한 복합막의 분리 특성을 결정 짖는 TPABr templating silica layer의 경우 강한 흡착 특성으로 인하여, 기공 확산보다는 표면 확산(surface diffusion)을 나타내었다. 따라서 GMS 모형을 통해 다성분계의 표면 확산 투과/분리 메커니즘을 성공적으로 해석할 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 사용된 복합무기막에서는 흡착량과 표면 확산 현상이 복합적으로 일어나기 때문에, 강흡착질인 $CO_2$와 비교적 약흡착질인 $N_2$ 혼합물 분리에 있어, $CO_2$의 pore-blocking 현상으로 인해 $CO_2$가 투과 농축되었다.

The physical properties were analyzed for four gas diffusion layers, and gas diffusion electrodes (GDEs) for the cathode of high-temperature polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell were fabricated through bar coating with three binder to carbon (B/C) ratios. Among them, The GDE from JNT30-A6P showed a significant change in secondary pore volume at a B/C ratio of 0.31, which had the largest pore volume among all GDEs. In the polarization curve, JNT30-A6P GDE showed the best membrane electrode assembly (MEA) performance with a peak power density of 384 mW/cm² at a a B/C ratio of 0.31. From the distribution of relaxation time analysis, the peak 1 corresponding to mass transfer resistance of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) was significantly reduced in the JNT30-A6P GDE. This is the result that when the binder content decreased, the volume of the secondary pore increased, and the mass transfer resistance of ORR decreased, which played an essential role in the MEA performance.

최근 자기치유 콘크리트의 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있으며, 구조물의 유지관리에 활용하기 위한 다양한 방법이 시도되고 있다. 하지만 자기치유 콘크리트의 기술적인 발전과는 달리, 성능을 평가하기 위한 방법은 불충분한 실정이다. 비록 표면관찰과 투수실험을 통해서 균열의 치유를 관찰하는 방법이 널리 실행되고 있지만, 현미경 관찰을 통한 표면관찰 방법은 국부적인 지점의 관찰은 전체적인 성능을 평가하기에는 불충분할 수 있으며, 투수실험의 경우에는 물질용출 및 점성으로 인한 손실을 고려해야 한다. 상기의 두 실험방법의 단점을 보완한 기체확산실험이 개발되었지만, 실제 치유가 발생한 시편을 대상으로의 검증은 이루어지지 않았다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 치유가 발생한 모르타르 시편에 대해 기체확산실험을 진행하였고, 기체확산실험에 의한 자기치유 평가의 적정성을 검증하였다.
