The present study presents the Phasor Discrete Particle Swarm Optimization (PDPSO) algorithm, an effective optimization technique, the multi-dimensional vectors of which consist of magnitudes and phase angles. PDPSO is employed in the configuration of micro-grids. Micro-grids are concepts of distribution system that directly unifies customers and distributed generations (DGs). Micro-grids could supply electric power to customers and conduct power transaction via a power market by operating economic dispatch of diverse cost functions through several DGs. If a large number of micro-grids exist in one distribution system, the algorithm needs to adjust the configuration of numerous micro-grids in order to supply electric power with minimum generation cost for all customers under the distribution system.

This paper presents results for dispensing and measuring micro-particles using a pneumatic dispensing system. Particle-suspended liquid droplets were dispensed and analyzed quantitatively at various particle concentrations and applied pressures. By using a developed experimental setup, the number of particles and the particle volume ratio in sequentially dispensed droplets were measured. Hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces were tested to find a suitable surface for counting the number of particle. It was confirmed that the dispensed particles concentrated into the center of the droplet on the smooth CD surface after evaporation of liquid. As the applied positive pressure increased, the number of particles per droplet increased consistently and the volume fraction of particles remained constant.

Recently many researches related with biotechnology are processed and it is the situation that research about micro fluidic devices is active. Micro fluidic devices has been one of the most widely used devices for the analysis in biotechnology because they have many advantages, flexibility, transparency, thermal and electrical stability, nontoxic, etc. In this study, micro fluidic device with PDMS is developed for particle counter which separates a small quantity of particles, The principle of micro particle counter is electrical-impedance method, and it was also applied hydrodynamic flow focusing. It is more efficient method to analyzing particles furthermore it can be applied to cell count ins for biotechnology.

By the application of novel double detector system of micro-PIXE that can detect light elements (Z<14), we made an attempt to provide a thorough discussion on the aging processes of Asian dust (hereafter called "AD") particle by reaction with sea-slat. The elemental spectra and maps obtained from the microbeam radiation of micro-PIXE to individual AD particles were useful for fractionating AD particles into both internally and externally mixed particles. A spatial distribution of elements in a minute domain of single particle obtained by scanning the microbeam irradiation enabled us not only to estimate the chemical mixing state of individual AD particles but also to presume their aging processes in both ambient air and cloud. By calculating the normalized micro-PIXE net count of elements, it was possible to classify individual AD particles into three distinct groups (i.e., (1) Aging type 1: AD particle coated by the gaseous Cl evaporated by the reaction between artificial acids and sea salt; (2) Aging type 2: AD particle mixed with sea salt but no additional reaction with artificial acids; and (3) Non-aged type) A relatively high transformation rate (63.3-75.9%) was shown in large particles (greater than $5.1\;{\mu}m$ in diameter).

A numerical study is performed to investigate the effect of inner surface roughness and micro-particles on adiabatic single phase frictional pressure drop in a perfect square micro channel. With the variation of particles sizes (0.1 to $1{\mu}m$) and occupied volume ratio (0.01 to 10%) by particles, the Eulerian multi-phase model is applied to a $100{\mu}m$ hydraulic diameter perfect square micro channel in laminar flow region. Frictional pressure loss is affected significantly by particle size than occupied volume ratio by particles. The particle properties like density and coefficient of restitution are investigated with various particle materials and the density of particle is found as an influential factor. Roughness effect on pressure drop in the micro channel is investigated with the consideration of roughness height, pitch, and distribution. Additionally, the combination effect by particles and surface roughness are simulated. The pressure loss in microchannel with 2.5% relative roughness surface can be increased more than 20% by the addition of $0.5{\mu}m$ diameter particles.

Three-dimensional (3D) velocity field information of a laminar flow in a curved micro tube of circular cross-section has been measured using a digital micro holographic particle tracking velocimetry (HPTV). The temporal evolution of instantaneous velocity field of a water flow in a curved micro tube of $100\;{\mu}\;m$ and $300\;{\mu}\;m$ in inner diameter was obtained. The 3D mean velocity field distribution was obtained quantitatively by statistical-averaging of instantaneous velocity fields. At low Dean number (De), a secondary flow was not generated in the curved tube. With increasing Dean number, the secondary flow constituted of two large-scale counter-rotating vortices was formed due to enhanced centrifugal force. To reveal the flow characteristics of high Dean numbers, trajectories of fluid particles were evaluated experimentally from the 3D velocity fields data measured by the HPTV technique. The present experimental results, especially the 3D particle trajectories, would be helpful to design and to understand the mixing phenomena in 3D curved passages of various curved micro-tubes or micro-channels.

본 연구에서는 고순도 균질 마이크로 Ag 입자를 얻기 위하여 용매추출법과 RF-LPP법을 이용하여 Air 분위기에서 $500^{\circ}C$에서 3시간 동안 열처리하여 Ag 입자를 합성하였다. 합성된 마이크로 Ag 입자를 XRD에 의해 비교 분석한 결과 주요 peak들이 JCPDS card(No. 87-0719)와 일치하는 것을 확인하였다. RF-LPP법을 이용함으로써, 핵 생성 싸이트 제어를 통해 균질 마이크로 Ag 입자를 합성하였으며, 환원처리 후 산소의 함유가 줄어드는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 재활용 기술에 큰 기여를 할 것이라 기대한다.

토성 조사 특히 토양 중의 점토 함량의 측정은 토양과 관련된 연구에서 흔히 이루어지는 분석이다. 본 연구에 관련된 연구에서 흔히 이루어지는 분석이다. 본 연구에서는 현재까지 점토 함량 측정에 널리 이용되고 있는 표준 hydrometer법이나 pipette법과 비교하여 보다 간편하고 신속한 분석법으로 제안되어 있는 micro-pipette법의 이용 가능성을 검토하였다. Micro-pipette법과 hydrometer법으로 측정된 점토 함량은 유의성이 높은 1:1의 상관관계를 가졌으며. micro-pipette법치 분석의 정밀도는 hydrometer법에 비교하여 크게 떨어지지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 micro-pipette법은 짧은 침강 시간과 작은 침강 용기를 사용함으로써 작은 실험실 공간에서 많은 시료를 분석할 수 있었다.

In this study, we proposed CMP micro-scratches generated by contaminative particle which existed on the wafer surface prior to CMP process. The CMP micro-scratches are one of the slurry abrasive related damage. To reduce the micro-scratches, research efforts have been devoted to the optimization of slurry abrasive size distribution. In addition of slurry abrasive, it was found that contaminative particles also were major CMP micro-scratch source.

This computational investigation of micro-sized particle dispersion concerns the fume particle contamination over target surface in high-precision laser line machining process of semiconductor and display device materials. Employing the random sampling based on probabilistic fume particle generation distributions, the effects of sphericity for nonspherical fume particles are analyzed for the fume particle dispersion and contamination near the laser machining line. The drag coefficient correlation for nonspherical particles in a low Reynolds number regime is selected and utilized for particle trajectory simulations after drag model validation. When compared to the corresponding results by the assumption of spherical fume particles, the sphericity of nonspherical fume particles show much less dispersion and contamination characteristics and it also significantly affects the particle removal rate in a suction air flow patterns.
