In this study, the numerical process for analyzing the automotive louver fin heat exchanger was developed with a 3D microscopic and semi-microscopic analysis. In the microscopic analysis, the simulation with the detailed meshes was performed for obtaining the characteristics of the heat exchanger. From this simulation, the numerical correlations of the heat transfer and flow friction were obtained. In the semi-microscopic analysis, the Semi-microscopic Heat Exchanger (SHE) method, which is characterized by a conjugate heat transfer and porous media analysis was used with the numerical correlation from the microscopic analysis. This analysis predicted the flow and heat transfer characteristics of the louver fin heat exchanger in the wind tunnel and vehicle. In the design of the louver fin heat exchanger, this numerical process can predict the performance and characteristic of the louver fin heat exchanger.

The modeling for turbulent flow through a porous media has not been confirmed because of a undetermined constant which appears in the governing equations. In present study, the turbulent porous modeling based on the local thermal equilibrium has been extended to the turbulent clear flow. A undetermined constant is also suggested by microscopic analysis. The microscopic analysis is performed in the flat tube with micro-channels, and it confirms that the undetermined constant is 0.99. It is shown that the results of the macroscopic analysis using confirmed constant agree well with those of the microscopic analysis with a maximum error of 3.5%.

In the present study, the characteristic of flow distribution in the channel of a plate heat exchanger is investigated numerically. In order to accomplish the efficient and fast analyses of the flow characteristics in the channel, a semi-microscopic analysis has been performed using a porous media model. For semi-microscopic analysis using porous media, the flow resistance coefficients are obtained through the result of pressure drop in the experimental data. The results showed that the variation of mass flow rate, geometry and chevron angle strongly depend on the flow distribution in the channel. Particularly, the chevron angle is most important factor for uniform flow distribution.

When porous materials are dried, the particles flocculate into fish-net structure in gel phase. In order to exactly analyze the stress distribution of porous materials during drying process, the elastic tensor of microscopic gel structures has to be predicted considering pore shapes as well as porosities of porous materials. The elastic characteristics of porous materials associated with porosities were predicted analyzing microscopic gel structures with circular and cross pores via homogenization method and the drying processes of the electric porous ceramic insulator were simulated using finite element method (FEM). Comparing analysis results between consideration and negligence of pores, the deformed shape and distributions of temperature and moisture were similar but the residual stress was significantly different.

This research was conducted to elucidate the removal mechanism of heavy metals and sulfate ion from acid mine drainage(AMD) by porous zeolite-slag ceramics (ZS ceramics) packed in a column reactor system. The average removal efficiencies of heavy metals and sulfate ion from AMD by the 1:3(Z:S) porous ZS ceramics in the column reactor under the HRT condition of 24 hours were Al 97.5%, As 98.8%, Cd 86.1%, Cu 96.2%, Fe 99.7%, Mn 64.1%, Pb 97.2%, Zn 66.7%, and $SO_4{^{2-}}$ 76.0% during 121 days of operation time. The XRD analysis showed that the ferric iron from AMD could be removed by adsorption and/or ion-exchange on the porous ZS ceramics. In addition it was known that Al, As, Cu, Mn, and Zn could adsorb or coprecipitate on the surface of Fe precipitates such as schwertmannite, ferrihydrite, or goethite. The EDS analysis revealed that Al, Fe, and Mn, which were of relatively high concentration in the AMD, would be adsorbed and/or ion-exchanged on the porous ZS ceramics and also exhibited that Al, Cu, Fe, Mn, and Zn could be precipitated as the form of metal hydroxide or sulfate and adsorbed or coprecipitated on the surface of Fe precipitates. The microscopic results on the porous ZS ceramics and precipitated sludge in a column reactor system suggested that the heavy metals and sulfate ion from AMD would be eliminated by the multiple mechanisms of coprecipitation, adsorption, ion-exchange as well as precipitation.

Porous materials play a significant role in energy storage and conversion applications such as catalyst support for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell. In particular, hierarchical porous materials with both micropores (poresize, ${\delta}$ < 2 nm) and regularly arranged mesopores (2 nm < ${\delta}$ < 50 nm) are known to greatly enhance the efficiency of catalytic reactions by providing enormous surface area as well as fast mass transport channels for both reactants and products from/to active sites. Although it is generally agreed that the microscopic structure of the porous materials directly affects the performance of these catalytic reactions, neither detailed mechanisms nor fundamental understanding are available at hand. In this study, we propose an atomistic model of hierarchical nanostructured porous carbons (HNPCs) in molecular dynamics simulations. By performing a systematic study, we found that structural features of the HNPC can be independently altered by tuning specific synthesis parameters, while remaining other structures unchanged. In addition, we show some structure-property relations including mechanical and gas transport properties.

This paper describe the performance of seawater purification, to which living organisms can adapt, and the physical properties of porous concrete with continuous void. Although conventional concrete has been regarded as a destroyer of nature, seawater and air can pass freely through concrete when it is made porous by forming continuous void. This not only enables plants to vegetables, but also makes it possible for microscopic animals and plants, including bacteria, to attach to and inhabit uneven surface as well as internal voids when the concrete is provided in a natural seawater area or seawater side area. As a result, porous concrete using recycled aggregate improved the performance of seawater purification. In this study, The performance of seawater purification of porous concrete using recycled aggregate analyzed by T-P, T-N.

Regeration of natural tissuesor to create biological substitutes for defective or lost tissues and organs through the use of cells. In addition to cells and their porous, drugs are required to promote tissue regeneration. Therefore, the present studies were prepared using simvastatim loaded porous poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) by double emulsion solvent evaporation water-in-oil-in-water technique (W/O/W) as drug delivery system strategies for injuring tissue. The resulting microspheres were evaluated for morphology, particle size, encapsulation efficiency, degradation of PLGA microspheres in vitro drug release and in vitro cell viability. Scanning electronic microscopic (SEM) showed that the porosities of the particles was changed by experimental conditions and cultured cells were attached well on porous microspheres surface. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calometry (DSC) analysis indicate thatsimvastatim was highly dipersed in the microsphere at amorphousstate.

In this study, titanium(Ti) meshes and porous bodies are employed to synthesize carbon nanotubes(CNTs) using methane($CH_4$) gas and camphene solution, respectively, by chemical vapor deposition. Camphene is impregnated into Ti porous bodies prior to heating in a furnace. Various microscopic and spectroscopic techniques are utilized to analyze CNTs. It is found that CNTs are more densely and homogeneously populated on the camphene impregnated Ti-porous bodies as compared to CNTs synthesized with methane on Ti-porous bodies. It is elucidated that, when synthesized with methane, few CNTs are formed inside of Ti porous bodies due to methane supply limited by internal structures of Ti porous bodies. Ti-meshes and porous bodies are found to be multi-walled with high degree of structural disorders. These CNTs are expected to be utilized as catalyst supports in catalytic filters and purification systems.
