This paper presents numerical results of fluid flows and mixing in a microfluidic device with AC electroosmotic flows (AC-EOF) around coplanar electrodes attached on the top and bottom walls. To obtain the flow and mixing characteristics, numerical computations are performed by using a commercial code, CFX10. Experiment was performed to confirm the generation of the drift velocity around the electrodes. It was found that near the coplanar electrodes 3-D complex flows are generated. The AC-electroosmotic flow on the electrodes plays an important role in mixing the liquid.

The water droplet motion and the interaction between the droplets in a PEMFC air flow channel with multiple pores, through which water emerges, is studied numerically by solving the equations governing the conservation of mass and momentum. The liquid-gas interface is tracked by a level set method which is based on a sharp-interface representation for accurately imposing the matching conditions at the interface. The method is modified to implement the contact angle conditions on the walls and pores. The dynamic interaction between the droplets growing on multiple pores while keeping the total water flow rate through pores constant is investigated by conducting the computations until the droplet motion exhibits a periodic pattern. The numerical results show that the droplet merging caused by increasing the number of pores is not effective for water removal and that the contact angle of channel wall strongly affects water management in the PEMFC air flow channel.

Plates are most widely used in the hulls of floating concrete structures, bridge decks, walls of off-shore structures and liquid storage tanks. A method of analysis is presented for the determination of load-deflection response and ultimate strength of high-strength steel fiber reinforced concrete (HSSFRC) plates simply supported on all four edges and subjected to combined action of external compressive in-plane and transverse loads. The behavior of HSSFRC plate specimens subjected to combined uniaxial in-plane and transverse loads was investigated. The proposed analytical method is compared to the physical test results, and shows good agreement. To predict the constitutive behavior of HSSFRC in compression, a non-dimensional characteristic equation was proposed and found to give reasonable accuracy.

We proposed azimuthally continuous nematic domain mode characterized by a cone field induced from patterned electrode structure with a circular slit. This mode has good optical performances such as higher transmittance and wider viewing angle through decreasing the demerits caused by domain walls. We could confirm to these optical characteristics by the manufactured sample.

This paper presents numerical and experimental works for simultaneous pumping and mixing small liquid using asymmetric microelectrode arrays, based on AC electroosmotic flows. To this end, four arrangements of electrode pairs were considered with diagonal/herringbone shapes. Numerical simulations were made of three-dimensional geometries by using the linear theory. The results indicated that the helical flow motions induced by the electrode arrays play a significant role in the mixing enhancement. The pumping performance was influenced by the slip velocity at the center region of the channel compared to that near the side walls. To validate the numerical predictions, the microfluidic devices were made through MEMS. The flow rate was obtained by using micro PIV, increasing the applied frequency. The electrolyte was potassium chloride solution. The flow patterns above electrodes were visualized to see lateral flow for mixing. The experimental results showed good agreements with the numerical predictions.

We investigate the slippage effect in a micro-channel depending on the surface characteristics; hydrophilic, hydrophobic, and super-hydrophobic wettabilities. The micro-scale grooves are fabricated on the vertical wall to make the super-hydrophobic surfaces, which enable us visualize the flow fields near walls and directly measure the slip length. Velocity profiles are measured using micro-particle image velocimetry (Micro-PIV) and compared those in the hydrophilic glass, hydrophobic PDMS, and super-hydrophobic PDMS micro-channels. To directly measure the velocity in the super-hydrophobic micro-channel, the transverse groove structures are fabricated on the vertical wall in the micro-channel. The velocity profile near the wall shows larger slip length and, if the groove structure is high and wide, the liquid meniscus forms curves into the valley so that the wavy flow is created after the grooves.

핵융합 장치의 액체 벽 연구에 관해 정리 하였다. 액체 벽은 1970년 Field Reversed Configuration 장치의 first wall로써 Christofilos에 의해 처음으로 제안되었다. 액체 벽은 순환을 통해 벽 손상을 막을 수 있는 장점이 있으나, 플라즈마와의 반응 시 증발로 인한 중심 플라즈마 불순물 증가 문제와, 진공 용기 내벽에 유동을 만들어야 하는 어려움이 있다. 본 논문에서는 그 동안 제안된 액체 벽 개념에 관한 검토와 국가핵융합 연구소 플라즈마 기술연구센터에서 수행하고 있는 액체 벽 관련 연구에 대해서 발표하고자 한다. 국가핵융합 연구소 플라즈마 기술연구센터에서는 용융염(FliNaK, LiF+NaF+KF)을 이용하여 수소 플라즈마와 용융염과의 반응에 관한 기초 연구를 수행하여 왔다. 기초 연구로써 수소 플라즈마 반응 유무에 따른 용융염 증발특성 변화, 용융염 내 수소 함유량 변화 측정, 수소 플라즈마 반응 시 광 진단을 통한 용융염 증발 성분 확인 등의 연구를 수행하였다. 또 진공 챔버 내부에 용융염 순환 시스템을 제작하여, 흐르는 용융염과 플라즈마와의 반응을 연구할 수 있는 실험 장치를 최근 제작 설치하였다. 본 논문에서는 중요한 기초 실험 결과와 용융염 순환 시스템 설계 인자에 대해서 논의하고자 한다.

We have studied the Pixel Isolated Phase Separated Composite Organic Film (PI-PSCOF). The PI-PSCOF can be made by the anisotropic phase separation between Ferroelectric Liquid Crystals and Pre-polymer materials by irradiating the UV with optimizing its intensity and time. In the technology, the FLC molecules are isolated in pixels where FLCs are surrounded by the inter-pixel vertical polymer walls and the horizontal polymer films on the upper substrate. The good merits of this technology are fast response time, and good mechanical and thermal stability against external high pressure and temperature. We will compare the results obtained from FLC, PSCOF, and PI-PSCOF modes by using the electro-optic measurement and x-ray scattering, and mechanical method. We believe that the PI-PSCOF technology can be a best candidate for future Flexible Display Applications.

The influence of aerated oil on high-speed journal bearing Is examined by thermohydrodynamic lubrication theory to lubrication with mixtures of a Newtonian liquid and an ideal gas. For this purpose, analytical models for viscosity and density of aerated oil in fluid-film bearing are applied. Convection to the walls, mixing with supply oil and re-circulating oil, and some degree of journal misalignment are considered. The results show that deliberate oil aeration can increase the load capacity of high-speed plain Journal bearing. And the load capacity is increased more by oil aeration under the conditions of shaft misalignment and higher speed.

연료링의 위치 및 열차폐 코팅의 종류에 따른 연소기의 재생냉각 특성을 검토하였다. 연료링을 노즐의 중간 부분에 위치시키고 냉각채널을 분기시켜서 설계하는 방법이 열적으로 타당함을 확인하였다. 또한 복합재를 이용한 노즐확장부가 적용 가능한 기술적 상황이라면, 팽창비가 높고 열유속이 낮은 노즐 후류 부분은 이를 이용하는 것이 매우 적절하다고 판단된다. 적용 가능한 열차폐 코팅 중에서 30톤급 연소기 및 가스발생기 개발과정에서 사용했던 $Y_2O_3$ stabilized $ZrO_2$과 내산화성이 우수한 Ni/Cr을 고려하였다. 내산화성이 우수한 Ni/Cr에 비해 세라믹 코팅($Y_2O_3$ stabilized $ZrO_2$)이 열차폐 효과가 우수한 것으로 파악되었다.
