A variable-spacing cesium thermionic energy conversion test station is designed and fabricated for the study of power generation. The diode is in the form of a guard-ringed plane-parallel geometry in which a polycrystalline rhenium emitter of 2 cmS02T area faces a radiation-cooled polycrystalline rhenium collector of 1.9 cmS02T area. The emission of plasma from heated refractory electrode metal is the driving reaction in the direct conversion of heat to electricity by thermionic energy conversion. The plasma is produced from electrons and positive ions formed simultaneously by thermionic emission and surface ionization of cesium atoms incident on the hot emitter from the cesium vapor in the diode. And high plasma density causes plasma multiplication within the gap due to volume ionization that results in high power output. The variation of the saturation current of a Knudsen converter is investigated at an emitter-collector gap of 0.1 mm and an emitter temperatures. A maximum power output of 13.47 watta/cmS02T is observed at a collector temperature of 963 K and a cesium reservoir temperature of 603 K.

The simulation model for metal-supported Solid Oxide Fuel Cell(SOFC) is developed in this study. Open circuit voltage is calculated using Nernst equation and Gibbs free energy is required by thermodynamic. The exchange current densities are compared with experimental results since exchange current density is most effective factor for the activation loss. Liu's study is used for the exchange current density of cathode, BSCF, and Koide's result is applied for the exchange current density of anode, Ni/YSZ. For the ohmic loss, ionic conductivity of YSZ is described from Kilner's mode and the data are compared with Wanzenberg's experimental data. Diffusivity is an important factor for the mass transfer through the porous medium. Both binary diffusion and Knudsen diffusion are considered as the diffusion mechanism. For validation, simulation results at this work are compared with our experimental results.

플라즈마 식각 공정에서의 미세구조 식각 연구를 위하여 두종류의 미세식각 진전 모델을 제시하 였다. 모델 1에서는 Knudsen 확산 정도를 나타내는 Thiele 계수($\Phi$2) 의 변화와 마스크의 하전에 의한 이온의 회적이 식각 패턴에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였으며 모델 2에서는 이온의 충돌에 의한 분산 효과가 식각 패턴에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 반응성 라디칼과 확산저항이 수직방향으로의 긱각깊이를 감소 시켜 RIE Lag를 일으키며 마스크의 하전에 의한 이온의 회절에 의하여 "dovetailing"형태의 식각 패턴 형성의 원인 이 됨을 알 수 있었다. 모델 2의 결과로부터 쉬스 지역에서의 이온의 분산이 심화될수록 "bowing" 형태의 식각패턴이 두드러졌으며 RIE Laggus상이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.gus상이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.

Recently, micro shock tube is being extensively used in various fields of engineering applications. The flow characteristics occurring in the micro shock tube may be significantly different from that of conventional macro shock tube due to very low Reynolds number and Knudsen number effects which are, in general, manifested in such flows of rarefied gas, solid-gas two-phase, etc. In these situations, Navier-Stokes equations cannot properly predict the micro shock tube flow. In the present study, a two-dimensional CFD method has been applied to simulate the micro shock tube, with slip velocity and temperature jump boundary conditions. The effects of wall thermal conditions on the unsteady flow in the micro shock tube were also investigated. The unsteady behaviors of shock wave and contact discontinuity were, in detail, analyzed. The results obtained show much more attenuation of shock wave, compared with macro-shock tubes.

For diffusion limited cluster agglomerates the ratio of the mobility radius to the radius of gyration $R_m/R_g$ vs. N and the ratio of the mobility radius to the radius of primary particle $R_m$/a are determined using experimental data obtained with DMA-APM and tandem DMA over a range of Knudsen numbers extending into the transition region where there is a lack of data. It was found that in slip regime with the number of primary particles between 100 and 400, datapoints are found to be between the two asymptotic lines for the continuum and free molecular regimes as those datapoints are plotted in both $R_m/R_g$ vs. N and $R_m$/a vs. N.

The lichenicolous fungi flora of South Korea is poorly known. During recent field trips to various parts of South Korea and after an extensive examination of herbarium lichen specimens, we encountered a lichenicolous fungi growing over a thallus of the lichen Ochrolechia yasudae Vain., characterized by small black apothecia with mostly three-septate brown ascospores. It was identified as Dactylospora glaucomarioides. This is the first report of this lichenicolous fungus from South Korea. A taxonomic description and comments are presented.

In this paper, the thermal lattice Boltzmann method(TLBM) proposed by Guo et al.(2002) is applied to analyze the forced convective flow and heat transfer of 2-D micro channel. Nonequilibrium extrapolation boundary condition is adopted to simulate the velocity and temperature behavior at wall boundaries. Numerical results obtained by the present study give a good prediction of the micro fluidic characteristics with thermal effects.

In this study we calculated the flowfields around the axisymmetric bodies in the rarefied gas regime by using the DSMC. A flat-ended cylinder was selected as a representative axisymmetric body and the gas used for all calculations was nitrogen. With zero angle of attack, an increasingly rapid rise in density and the effect of shock waves near the flat-ended face were examined. And on the cylinder surface velocity slips and boundary layers could be observed in the results. Larsen-Borgnakke model was used for the energy redistribution in inelastic collisions. And by considering all internal energy modes, the distributions of translational, rotational and vibrational temperatures were plotted. The calculations were peformed for various Knudsen numbers, Especially the rotational temperatures calculated for a case were compared with the experimental results. And the simulation results show good agreements with the experimental ones.

Three dimensional numerical study was carried out to investigate the effect of aspect ratio on microchannel flow. We considered five straight rectangular channels with aspect ratios (height/width) 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0. Nitrogen gas flow was investigated for both slip and noslip wall boundary conditions. Isothermal wall condition was assumed. We used control volume method for this simulation. The slip velocity increases with the increase of aspect ratio. Friction coefficient decreases with the increase of aspect ratio. Slip friction coefficient is lower than noslip friction coefficient. Mass flow rate of slip model is higher than that of noslip model. We compared our results with the experimental result reported in the literature. The agreement was good.

In this work, the hydromagnetic and thermal characteristics of natural convection flow in a vertical parallel plate micro-porous-channel with suction/injection is analytically studied in the presence of Hall current by taking the temperature jump and the velocity slip at the wall into account. The governing equations, exhibiting the physics of the flow formation are displayed and the exact analytical solutions have been obtained for momentum and energy equations under relevant boundary conditions. The impact of distinct admissible parameters such as Hartmann number, Hall current parameter, permeability parameter, suction/injection parameter, fluid wall interaction parameter, Knudsen number and wall-ambient temperature ratio on the flow formation is discussed with the aid of line graphs. In particular, as rarefaction parameter on the micro-porous-channel surfaces increases, the fluid velocity increases and the volume flow rate decreases for injection/suction.
