In this paper, we investigated the mechanical and electrical reliability of silver nanowire (AgNW) films. In particular, the durability and reliability of AgNW films were studied when the AgNW film was subjected to the bending deformation under current flow. The electrical durability of AgNW was evaluated by observing changes in heat generation and current density occurring in AgNW through voltage and current tests. The AgNW film showed a constant resistance change up to a bending radius of 2 mm and 200,000 cycles in the bending fatigue tests. The over-coating layer has an effect of improving the durability of the AgNW film. In the case of AgNW with the over-coating layer, heat was uniformly dissipated on the surface of AgNW film, whereas in the case of AgNW film without the over-coating layer, heat was generated locally. In the bending test under the current flow, the current density of the AgNW film was continuously decreased up to 52.4%. During bending, the AgNW was deformed due to mechanical deformation such as tensile, bending and sliding of the AgNW, consequently contact resistance of the AgNW was increased, leading to a electrical breakdown of AgNW by Joule heating. It was found that the application of the over-coating layer can improve the electrical and mechanical reliability of the AgNW film.

수중방전은 다양한 라디칼을 직접 물 속에서 발생시키기 때문에 수처리 공정에 다양한 응용이 가능하다. 특히, 최근에 선박평형수 등의 살균이 국제적인 이슈가 되고 있고, 2017년까지는 모든 선박에 살균을 위한 수처리 설비가 의무화된다. 본 연구에서는 염분이 있는 수체에서의 방전공정을 연구하고 이를 수처리공정에 적용할 수 있는 방법에 대해 연구하였다. 해수의 경우 전도도가 53mS로 자유로운 전하의 이동이 가능하기 때문에 일반적인 민물방전의 전원과 전극 등으로는 방전을 할 수 없다. 이에 세라믹과 금속의 이중구조로 되어 있는 모세관전극을 개발하여 전도성이 있는 수체에서의 방전을 이루었다. 전원장치로는 60 Hz, 380 V를 1차측에 인가하여 2차측에서 약 3 kV, 10 kW의 파워가 발생하는 12위상차 교류전원장치를 개발하여 사용하였다. 모세관 내부에 전압이 인가되면 전류가 발생하여 joule heating에 의하여 모세관 내부에 기포가 형성된다. 이 때, 전류의 단락이 이루어지면서 고전압쪽에 전하가 축적되며 기포내부의 E-field가 상승한다. 이후 기포 내에서 방전이 개시되며 각종 라디칼을 생성한다. 방전에 의해 생성되는 산화제로는 오존, OH라디칼, 과산화수소 등이 있으며, 해수에서는 Cl-의 결합에 의하여 Cl2 가스가 발생한다. 약 30,000 J/L의 체적에너지에 대하여 생성되는 총염소의 농도는 2.5 mg/L이다. 수중방전의 적용대상으로 선박평형수, 멤브레인과의 결합, 용존기포부상법을 선정하여 적용가능성을 연구하였다. 먼저 선박평형수 살균처리를 위해 해수의 처리유량을 20 lpm으로 유지하고 대장균, 바실러스, 조류(테트라셀미스) 등을 투입하여 전극 12개가 삽입된 12위상차 플라즈마 반응기를 통과시켰더니, 약 30,000 J/L의 체적에너지에 대하여 1일 후의 살균력이 각각 99.99, 99.99, 99.9%의 살균력을 나타내었다. 이는 국제해사기구에서 권장하는 살균수준인 99.9%를 초과하는 수치이다. 플라즈마를 이용한 해수살균공정의 안정적 운전을 위해 후단에 UF멤브레인을 추가하여 잔류생존 미생물을 제거할 수 있다. 이를 위해 플라즈마가 후단의 멤브레인 운전에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 카올린과 탄산칼슘을 오염원으로 각각 투입하여 멤브레인으로 처리를 하였을 때, 방전 직후 멤브레인에 걸리는 막간압력차가 약 30% 감소하였는데, 이는 막에 형성된 파울링이 방전에 의해 제거된 것으로 평가할 수 있다. 수중방전은 다양한 산화제를 생성함과 동시에 미세기포를 발생시키는데 이는 수중유기물의 부상분리에 적용될 수 있다. 방전모세관전극의 내부직경을 1 mm로 유지하고, 60 Hz, 교류전원으로 방전한 결과 평균입경 44 um의 기포를 발생시켰고, 이는 일반적으로 용존공기부상법에 사용되는 기포의 크기와 일치한다.

There are several novel uses for dispersing many nanoparticles into a conventional fluid, including dynamic sealing, damping, heat dissipation, microfluidics, and more. Therefore, melting heat and mass transfer characteristics of a 3-D MHD Hybrid Nanofluid flow over a rotating disc with presenting dufour and soret effects are assessed numerically in this study. In this instance, we investigated both ferric sulfate and molybdenum disulfide as nanoparticles suspended within base fluid water. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into linked higher-order non-linear ordinary differential equations by the local similarity transformation. The collection of these deduced equations is then resolved using a Chebyshev spectral collocation-based algorithm built into the Mathematica software. To demonstrate how different instances of hybrid/ nanofluid are impacted by changes in temperature, velocity, and the distribution of nanoparticle concentration, examples of graphical and numerical data are given. For many values of the material parameters, the computational findings are shown. Simulations conducted for different physical parameters in the model show that adding hybrid nanoparticle to the fluid mixture increases heat transfer in comparison to simple nanofluids. It has been identified that hybrid nanoparticles, as opposed to single-type nanoparticles, need to be taken into consideration to create an effective thermal system. Furthermore, porosity lowers the velocities of simple and hybrid nanofluids in both cases. Additionally, results show that the drag force from skin friction causes the nanoparticle fluid to travel more slowly than the hybrid nanoparticle fluid. The findings also demonstrate that suction factors like magnetic and porosity parameters, as well as nanoparticles, raise the skin friction coefficient. Furthermore, It indicates that the outcomes from different flow scenarios correlate and are in strong agreement with the findings from the published literature. Bar chart depictions are altered by changes in flow rates. Moreover, the results confirm doctors' views to prescribe hybrid nanoparticle and particle nanoparticle contents for achalasia patients and also those who suffer from esophageal stricture and tumors. The results of this study can also be applied to the energy generated by the melting disc surface, which has a variety of industrial uses. These include, but are not limited to, the preparation of semiconductor materials, the solidification of magma, the melting of permafrost, and the refreezing of frozen land.

To better understand the physical processes that control the high-latitude lower thermospheric dynamics, we analyze the divergence and vorticity of the high-latitude neutral wind field in the lower thermosphere during the southern summertime for different IMF conditions. For this study the National Center for Atmospheric Research Thermosphere-Ionosphere Electrodynamics General Circulation Model (NCAR-TIEG CM) is used. The analysis of the large-scale vorticity and divergence provides basic understanding flow configurations to help elucidate the momentum sources that ulti-mately determine the total wind field in the lower polar thermosphere and provides insight into the relative strengths of the different sources of momentum responsible for driving winds. The mean neutral wind pattern in the high-latitude lower thermosphere is dominated by rotational flow, imparted primarily through the ion drag force, rather than by divergent flow, imparted primarily through Joule and solar heating. The difference vorticity, obtained by subtracting values with zero IMF from those with non-zero IMF, in the high-latitude lower thermosphere is much larger than the difference divergence for all IMF conditions, indicating that a larger response of the thermospheric wind system to enhancement in the momentum input generating the rotational motion with elevated IMF than the corresponding energy input generating the divergent motion. the difference vorticity in the high-latitude lower thermosphere depends on the direction of the IMF. The difference vorticity for negative and positive $B_y$ shows positive and negative, respectively, at higher magnetic latitudes than $-70^{\circ}$. For negative $B_z$, the difference vorticities have positive in the dusk sector and negative in the dawn sector. The difference vorticities for positive $B_z$ have opposite sign. Negative IMF $B_z$ has a stronger effect on the vorticity than does positive $B_z$.
