본 논문에서는 수정된 증발법을 이용하여 제작된 주석(Sn) 나노입자의 녹는점 강하 특성에 대한 연구를 진행하였다. 이를 위해 대량생산이 가능한 수정된 증발법을 이용하여 10nm 급 주석 나노입자를 제조하였다. 주석 나노입자 표면의 산화 방지를 위하여 Benzyl Alcohol 을 기본유체로 사용하였으며, 제작된 주석 나노입자의 형상과 입자크기를 알아보기 위하여 투과전자현미경(TEM)을 사용하였다. 제작된 나노입자의 녹는점은 시차주사열량계(DSC)를 통해 측정하였으며, 광전자분광분석기(XPS)를 사용하여 제작된 주석 나노입자의 성분 분석을 진행 하였다. 주석 나노입자의 녹는점은 주석의 녹는점인 $232^{\circ}C$보다 44% 감소한 $129^{\circ}C$로 측정되었다. 녹는점 측정 결과는 Gibbs-Thomson 식 및 Lai 의 식과 비교하였으며, 그 결과 Lai의 식이 실험결과를 잘 예측함을 확인할 수 있었다.

The present paper investigated the effect of ultrasonic vibrations on the melting process of a phase-change material (PCM). Furthermore, the present study considered constant heat flux boundary conditions unlike many of the previous researches adopted constant wall temperature conditions. Therefore, in the present study, modified dimensionless parameters such as Ste* and Ra* were used. Also, general relationships between melting with ultrasonic vibrations and melting without ultrasonic vibrations were established during the melting of PCM. Experimental observations show that the effect of ultrasonic vibrations on heat transfer is very important throughout the melting process. The results of the present study reveal that ultrasonic vibrations accompany the effects like agitation, acoustic streaming, cavitation, and oscillating fluid motion. Such effects are a prime mechanism in the overall melting process when ultrasonic vibrations are applied. They enhance the melting process as much as 2.5 tildes, compared with the result of natural melting. Also, energy can be saved by applying ultrasonic vibrations to the natural melting. In addition, various time-wise dimensionless numbers provide conclusive evidence of the important role of ultrasonic vibrations on the melting phenomena.

The main purpose of this study is to determine bifurcation as the primary instability of a glass melting furnace. Steady-state and unsteady characteristics of natural convection in the partially open cavity as appeared in a glass melting furnace is investigated by using numerical analysis. Three types of convection, such as steady laminar, unsteady periodic or unsteady quasi-periodic convection may occur according to the temperature difference between upper two isothermal surfaces along the depth of cavity in a glass melting furnace. In the temperature difference of 150-900 K between batch and free surface, the larger the temperature difference, the weaker the convection strength and unsteadiness. Since the glass viscosity is increasing exponentially in the lower temperature, the batch freezes the thermofluidic field especially below the surface of it. If the depth of cavity is 0.5 m, the bifurcation to time-dependent natural convection may occur in the range of 60-650 K. If that is 1.0 m, it may occur in the whole range of temperature difference.

In this study, in order to analyze the low-temperature sintering process of silver and copper nanoparticles, we calculate their melting temperatures and surface melting temperatures with respect to particle size. For this calculation, we introduce the concept of mean-squared displacement of the atom proposed by Shi (1994). Using a parameter defined by the vibrational component of melting entropy, we readily obtained the surface and bulk melting temperatures of copper and silver nanoparticles. We also calculated the absorption cross-section of nanoparticles for variation in the wavelength of light. By using the calculated absorption cross-section of the nanoparticles at the melting temperature, we obtained the laser threshold energy for the sintering process with respect to particle size and wavelength of laser. We found that the absorption cross-section of silver nanoparticles has a resonant peak at a wavelength of close to 350 nm, yielding the lowest threshold energy. We calculated the intensity distribution around the nanoparticles using the finite-difference time-domain method and confirmed the resonant excitation of silver nanoparticles near the wavelength of the resonant peak.

본 연구에서 상변화 물질은 얼음과 물을 택하였으며, 시편의 기하학적 형상은 원동형 얼음봉을 사용하였고 온도가 일정한 물속에 수평으로 잠겨진 상태에서 얼음봉 이 융해되는 현상을 가시화하고 이를 관찰하였다. 시편주위에 발생하는 자연대류현 상이 접면효과를 받지 않토록 하기 위하여 물탱크의 크기는 시편직경의 5배 이상으로 하였고 주위물의 온도는 정도가 최대인 4.deg. C 부근을 전후한 최저 2.5.deg. C에서 최고 15.deg. C 까지를 택하였다. 융해현상은 2차원 음영방법으로 가시화하고 사진으로 기록하였다. 융해되는 얼음봉의 형상은 Fourier수와 Stefan수의 곱으로 정의된 무차원시간(.zeta.)을 변수로 하여 나타내었다. 정해진 물의 온도에서 사진으로 기록된 결과를 콤퍼레이터 (comparator)를 이용하여 음영의 변화량을 구하여 각 원주각에서의 국부 Nusselt수와 평균 Nusselt수를 무차원시간에 대하여 구하였다.

The purpose of this study is to prepare the hardness of polyester(PET) fabric by thermal bonding with low melting component of bicomponent fiber and to describe the change of physical properties of thermal bonded PET fabrics. The PET fabrics were prepared with regular PET fiber as warp and bicomponent fiber as weft. The bicomponent fiber of sheath-core type were composed with a regular PET core and low melting PET sheath. The thermal bonding of PET fabric was carried out in pin tenter from 120 to $195^{\circ}C$ temperature range for 60 seconds. In this study, we investigated the physical properties and melting behavior of PET fiber and the effect of the temperature of the pin tenter on the thermal bonding, mechanical properties. Melting peak of warp showed the thermal behavior of general PET fiber. However, melting peak of weft fiber(bicomponent fiber) showed the double melting peak. The thermal bonding of the PET fabric formed at about temperature of lower melting peak. The optimum thermal bonding conditions for PET fabrics was applied at $190{\sim}195^{\circ}C$ for 60seconds by pin tenter. On the other hand, the tensile strength of the PET fabric decreased with an increasing temperature of thermal bonding.

This paper focuses on the unsteady close-contact melting phenomenon occurring between a phase change material kept at its melting temperature and a flat surface on which constant heat flux is imposed. Based on the same simplifications and framework of analysis as the case of constant surface temperature, an approximate analytical solution which depends only on the liquid-to-solid density ratio is successfully derived. In order to keep consistency with the known solution procedure, both the dimensionless wall heat flux and the Stefan number are properly redefined. The obtained solution proves to agree quite well with the published numerical data and to be capable of resolving the fundamental features of unsteady close-contact melting, especially in the presence of the solid-liquid density difference. The density ratio directly affects the film growth rate and the initial value of solid descending velocity, thereby controlling the duration of unsteady process. The effects of other parameters can be evaluated readily from the steady solution which is implied in the normalized result. Since the dimensionless surface temperature for the present boundary condition increases from zero to unity along the evolution path of the liquid film thickness, the unsteady process lasts longer than that for the case of isothermal heating.

One of the important applications of a contact melting process is a latent thermal energy storage system owing to its high heat flux and small temperature variation. In some previous works, the split fins have been employed in order to enhance the melting rate. In the present work, the direct contact melting was experimentally investigated using an ice as specimen for both split and non-split fins. It was shown that the contact melting by split fins increases the melting rate compared to that of non-split ones.

Ge-Sb-Se계 칼코게나이드 유리의 Melting 조건변화에 따른 특성변화를 연구하였다. Glass melting 조건(homogenization-temperature, homogenization-time, annealing) 에 따라 제작된 칼코게나이드 유리 bulk를 FT-IR, XRD, SEM 등의 분석장비를 이용하여 특성을 분석하였다. Homogenization temperature가 높을수록 석영관 급냉 시 발생되는 mechanical stress와 내부응력차로 인해 칼코게나이드 유리 깨짐현상이 증가하였으며 조성비와 melting 조건에 따라 XRD분석에서 확인되지 않는 미소결정이 SEM 분석결과 관찰되었다. 본 연구를 통해 칼코게나이드 유리의 melting 조건에 따른 경향성을 확인할 수 있었다.

Cycle test for developed phase change material (PCM) is necessary in order to assess the variation of latent heat, which decreases with time by deterioration. T-history method and measurement using heat-flux meter are appropriate for the cycle test in a tube filled with PCM because they do not need an extraction of sample in measuring heat of fusion. In the present study, these methods were applied to a PCM having a melting point below a room temperature, different to the past studies for PCMs melting above a room temperature. As a result of experiment using pure water as specimen, we can obtained rea-sonable values for heat of fusion.
