To understand a two-phase flow, a liquid film thickness is one of the important factors. A lot of researches have been performed to measure liquid film thickness with various approaches. Recently, an electrical conductance method which uses the conductivity of the liquid film has been widely applied on measuring the liquid film thickness. Though the electrical method has an advantage in high spatial resolution, as the conductivity of liquid can be affected by its temperature variation, the conventional electrical conductance methods have a limitation in being applied on varying temperature conditions where a heat transfer is involved. The purpose of this study is to develop a three-ring liquid film sensor that overcomes the limitation of the conventional method. The three-ring conductance method can measure the film thickness regardless of temperature variation by compensating the change of liquid conductivity. Considering its application on a wide range of conditions such as high temperature or curved surfaces, the sensor was fabricated on flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) in this study. This paper presents the concept of the measurement method, design procedure, prototype sensor fabrication and calibration results.

To analyze the film cooling in a liquid rocket engine, it is necessary to understand the characteristics of the wall-impingement liquid film. We designed an optimal two-dimensional device for measuring the thickness of the liquid film thickness. This device quantitatively measures the liquid-film thickness distribution. In previous liquid-film thickness measuring devices, the liquid film was formed over the entire area of the sensor. However, its formation depended on injection conditions. To compensate for this, optimal resistors are selected. Additionally, saturation variations with partial saturation are analyzed. Furthermore, calibration using the enhanced plate method is conducted with improvements in spatial resolution. The device designed here can be used to analyze the properties of an impingement liquid film with a slit injector. This study can be used for film-cooling analysis in liquid rocket engines.

This work reports development of novel liquid-level sensors based on the $3{\omega}$ method. The sensors determine the liquid level by measuring the thermal response as in the conventional hot-wire technique. However the sensors employ an AC heating method to enhance the sensitivity, noise resistance and time response. Also, the microfabricated thin-film structure of the sensor provides mass-producibility as well as improved sensor performance owing to the increase in the surface-volume ratio of the sensor. Two different types of the sensor are developed: one for point detection of the fluid phase and the other for monitoring continuous variation of liquid level. Notable is that the performance of the sensor is not considerably affected by the liquid flow.

접착테이프 형태의 액체누설 감지 필름 센서와 이를 이용하고 경보 장치를 포함한 감지 시스템을 개발하였다. 액체누설 감지 필름형 테이프 센서는 베이스 필름층, 전도성 라인층, 보호 필름층으로 구성되며, 테이프의 두께 $300{\sim}500{\mu}m$, 폭 3.55 cm, 그리고 단위 테이프의 길이는 200 m이다. 전도성 라인층의 필름에는 3개의 전도선과 1개의 저항선이 있다. 이들은 도전성 은나노 잉크를 전자인쇄방식으로 설치한다. 이들 저항선과 전도선 사이에 액체가 누설되어 전기적으로 상호 통전되면, 두 선사이의 저항변화를 전압의 변화로 계측하여 누설 위치를 감지한다. 물을 포함한 전도성 액체에 대한 누설 위치 감지에서 길이 200 m에서 오차 범위는 ${\pm}1m$ 이내이다.

We demonstrated a solvent-assisted soft-lithographic patterning method for producing patterned structure and patterned ordering with lyotropic liquid crystalline polymer (LCP) film. Experimental results showed that the liquid crystalline ordering of lyotropic film could be controlled by shearing effects of the fluidic solvent though the patterned mold channels. In this work, two types of lyotropic LCPs were used to investigate the effects of the alkyl chain length of the lyotropic LCP on producing liquid crystalline ordering through the solvent-assisted fluidic patterning.

We fabricated a printed Ag:CNT film as a liquid sensor for the detection of HNS (hazardous and noxious substances) in seawater. The paste required for printing was prepared using Ag powder, MWCNTs (multi-walled carbon nanotubes), and an organic binder. The heat treatment process for binder removal was optimized. In order to confirm that the sensor was operational, the resistance change characteristics in brine (3.5%) and methanol (99.8%) were assessed at $20^{\circ}C$. EDL (electrical double layer) formation and redox reactivity were confirmed as the most important reactions affect each electrical property of sensor in brine and methanol. From these results, it was determined that printed Ag:CNT film can be applied as a sensor to detect HNS in seawater.

누수 검출(Leak Detection)은 인류의 소중한 자원인 물을 제어하여, 자연재해에 대비하고, 건물 및 각종 산업 시설등의 피해를 방지하기 위한 시스템이다. 특히 화학물질이나 기름의 유출은 심각한 환경적 오염이 발생하기 때문에, 각종 액체(기름, 물)의 누출을 감지하고, 액체가 누출되는 지점을 초기에 감지하여, 환경오염을 최소화하고, 누수로 인한 장비의 파손방지 및 국가의 소중한 물 자원을 안전하게 사용할 수 있도록 한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 보완하여 특화된 필름형 센서를 이용하여, 숙련된 엔지니어가 아니라도, 설비나 벽면 등 어느 곳이라도 누구나 쉽게 설치할 수 있다. 또한 불필요한 회로를 줄이고, 필름 센서와 연동 구동 시 큰 가격 경쟁력을 갖고, 검출하고자 하는 액체 및 주변 사용 환경에 따라 민감도를 설정할 수 있는 필름형 센서를 이용한 센서 제어 기 및 모니터링 시스템을 구현하였다.

The characteristics of a photonic crystal fiber sensor with reuleaux triangle are studied by using the finite element method. The wavelength sensitivity of the designed optical fiber sensor is related to the arc radius of the reuleaux triangle. Whether the core area is solid or liquid as well as the refractive index of the liquid core contributes to wavelength sensitivity. The simulation results show that larger arc radius leads to higher sensitivity. The sensitivity can be improved by introducing a liquid core, and higher wavelength sensitivity can be achieved with a lower refractive index liquid core. In addition, the specific channel plated with gold film is polished and then analyte is deposited on the film surface, in which case the position of the resonance peak is the same as that of the complete photonic crystal fiber with three analyte channels being filled with analyte. This means that filling process becomes convenient with equivalent performance of designed sensor. The maximum wavelength sensitivity of the sensor is 10200 nm/RIU and the resolution is $9.8{\times}10^{-6}RIU$.

In the recognition of the gases using the quartz crystal rnicrobalance (QCM) coated with the film materials, it is important to obtain the recognition ability of gases, and the stability of film coated above the QCM. Especially, the thickness of film coated above the QCM is decreased according with the using circumstance and time of QCM gas sensor. Therefore, the sensing chararcteristics of film is changed with these. In this paper, we coated the lipid GC materials varing with the blended amount of PVC(Po1y Vinyl Chloride) and solution (Tetra Hydrofan:THF) above QCM to obtain the stability of lipid PC film. QCM gas sensors coated with film materials were measured the frequency change in the chamber of stationary gas sensing system injected 1-hexane, ethyl acetate, ethanol and benzene of 20.4 respectively. Also, we measured the degradation characteristics of QCM gas sensor to show the properties of stability.
