The preparation of $CaSO_4$ nanoparticle by vesicles formed spontaneously in cationic OTAC and anionic ADS mixed surfactant solution whose ratio is 0.3/0.7 is investigated. Added electrolytes for preparing nanoparticles reduce vesicle size about 200-300 nm comparing with that of pure vesicle whose size is 700-800 nm by DLS. The core of vesicles has 200 nm size and acts as nanoreactors which same size of monodisperse $CaSO_4$ nanopaticles are formed. Although $CaSO_4$ particles are formed at the outer of vesicles, they are very large and amorphous. The formed particles are identified with XRD analysis after separation due to coinciding with $CaSO_4$ particles.

PURPOSES : Conductive and convective heat transfer simulations for an asphalt mixture were made by using discrete element method (DEM) and similarity principle. METHODS : In this research, virtual specimens composed of discrete element method particles were generated according to four different predetermined particle size distribution curves. Temperature variations of the four different particles for a given condition were estimated and were compared with measurements and analytical solutions. RESULTS : The virtual specimen with mixed particles and with the smallest particle show very good agreement with laboratory test results and analytical solutions. As particle size decreases, better heat transfer simulation can be performed due to smaller void ratio and more contact points and areas. In addition, by utilizing the similarity principle of thermal properties and corresponding time unit, analytical time can be drastically reduced. CONCLUSIONS : It is concluded that the DEM asphalt mixture specimens with similarity principle could be used to predict the temperature variation for a given condition. It is observed that the void ratio has critical effect on prediction of temperature variation. Comparing the prediction for a 4 mm particle specimen with a mixed particle specimen, it is also concluded that predicting the mixed particle specimen temperature is much more efficient considering the number of particles that are directly associated with computational time in DEM analysis.

본 연구에서는 제약성분인 니페디핀이 세 종류의 혼합용매에 녹는 용해도를 측정하였다. 또한 용매(아세톤, DMF, 메틸렌클로라이드)에 녹아 있는 니페디핀을 반용매(물, 헥산, 이산화탄소)를 사용하여 결정화하였고, 생성된 결정입자의 외형, 크기, 용융점 등을 측정하였다. 혼합용매로는 아세톤+물, DMF+물, 메틸렌클로라이드+헥산 혼합물이 사용되었으며, 세 혼합용매에서 모두 반용매의 비율이 증가할수록 니페디핀의 용해도가 감소하였다. 아세톤+물의 경우에는 이 혼합물의 밀도 비이상성 현상에 기인한 용해도 최대값을 나타낸 반면, 나머지 두 혼합용매에서는 이 현상이 나타나지 않았다. 반용매 결정화에 의해 생성된 니페디핀 결정의 외형은 용매와 반용매의 종류에 따라 칼날형, 입자형, 프리즘형 등으로 변화하였으며, 입자의 크기는 원재료에 비해 매우 감소하였다. 니페디핀 원재료 입자의 평균크기는 33 ㎛였으며, 결정화된 입자의 평균크기는 11.6~69.8 ㎛의 범위에 있었다. 결정화된 모든 니페디핀 입자는 동일한 열분석 결과를 보여주었으며, 이 결과는 용매와 반용매의 변화에 의해 영향 받지 않았다.

To introduce flux pinning center in HTS-BSCCO system, nano-size MgO particles were uniformly distributed within the Bi-2223 grain by partial hydration of MgO. The existing method MgO doped Bi-2223 used nato-size MgO powders, which resulted in agglomeration during mixing or grain growth during heat-treatment due to the high surface energy of the fine particles. By hydration of the MgO surface, the agglomeration of the MgO powders was avoided and the size of remaining MgO core was controlled by changing hydration medium and time. The thin film obtained by spin coating of (Bi_$1.8/Pb_{0.4}$)$Sr_2$$_{Ca}$$2.2/Cu_3$ $O_{y}$ nitrate solution mixed with hydrated MgO showed the even distribution of nano-size MgO particles in the Bi-2212 grains.s.s.

Black carbon, which is a by-product of combustion of fossil fuel and biomass burning, is the component that imposes the largest uncertainty on quantifying aerosol climate effect. The direct, indirect and semi-direct climate effects of black carbon depend on its state of the mixing with other water-soluble aerosol components. The process that transforms hydrophobic externally mixed black carbon particles into hygroscopic internally mixed ones is called "aging". In most climate models, simple parameterizations for the aging time scale are used instead of solving detailed dynamics equations on the aging process due to the computation cost. In this study, a new parameterization for the black carbon aging time scale due to condensation and coagulation is presented as a function of the concentration of hygroscopic atmospheric components and the black carbon particle size. It is shown that the black carbon aging time scale due to condensation of sulfuric acid vapors varies to a large extent depending on the sulfuric acid concentration and the black carbon particle size. This result indicates that the constant aging time scale values suggested in the literature cannot be directly applied to a global scale modeling. The aging time scale due to coagulation with internally mixed aerosol particles shows an even stronger dependency on particle size, which implies that the use of a particle-size-independent aging time scale may lead to a large error when the aging is dominated by coagulation.

Nano-sized WC particles in WC/Co composite powders were synthesized by mechanochemical method. The raw powders$(WO_3,\;Co_3O_4,\;VC,\;Cr_3C_2$ and graphite) were mixed by planetary milling for 30 hours. The compositions were WC-10 and -20 wt% Co added VC and $Cr_3C_2$. The direct reduction and carburization of the mixed powders were carried at $900\;^{\circ}C$ for 1 to 3 hours under flowing Ar gas. The mean size of WC particles in WC/Co composite powders was about 16 nm. The resultant powders were compacted and sintered at $1300{\sim}1360\;^{\circ}C$ for 0.5 hour. After sintering the mean size of WC particles was about 50 nm.

Barium ferrite particles were synthesized from Ba(NO$_3$)$_2$, Fe(NO$_3$)$_3$ and KOH mixed solutions using hydrothermal crystallization in supercritical water. The experimental apparatus for production of barium ferrite is a flow-type apparatus. Fine barium ferrite particles were produced because supercritical water causes the metal hydroxides to be rapidly dehydrated before significant growth takes place. The effects of Fe/Ba ratio and reaction time on the formation, particle size, and magnetic properties of barium ferrite were studied. When Fe/Ba ratio were varied from 0.5 to 12, single-phase barium ferrite powder was only produced in the range of 0.5〈Fe/Ba〈2. Also, with elevating reaction time, the BaO.6Fe$_2$O$_3$ particle size grew smaller. Especially, uniform barium hexaferrite particles of size 100-200nm were obtained at 80sec. In this study, therefore, single-phase barium ferrite particles are highly stable and can be produced continuously in a reaction time of less then 2min.

To ascertain the characteristics of pool sloshing behavior that might be encountered during a core disruptive accident of sodium-cooled fast reactors, in our earlier work several series of experiments were conducted under various scenarios including the condition with mono-sized solid particles. It is found that under the particle-bed condition, three typical flow regimes (namely the bubble-impulsion dominant regime, the transitional regime and the bed-inertia dominant regime) could be identified and a flow-regime model (base model) has been even successfully established to estimate the regime transition. In this study, aimed to further understand this behavior at more realistic particle-bed conditions, a series of simulated experiments is newly carried out using mixed-size particles. Through analyses, it is verified that for present scenario, by applying the area mean diameter, our previously-developed base model can provide the most appropriate predictive results among the various effective diameters. To predict the regime transition with a form of extension scheme, a correction factor which is based on the volume-mean diameter and the degree of convergence in particle-size distribution is suggested and validated. The conducted analyses in this work also indicate that under certain conditions, the potential separation between different particle components might exist during the sloshing process.

In this paper, we reported the verification of numerical simulation approach for sedimentation of the multi-size particles in a container. The comparison between experimentally measured values and numerically evaluated values on settle down process of fully mixed mixture is carried out. In an attempt to represent the natural particle size distribution, various diameters of single particles are simulated and the results are compared with the outcome of the multi-size computation. When the empirical formula for mean particle size estimation is adopted to define the sediment diameter, computation and comparison are conducted.

Tape casting technique was successfully applied to produce porous ceramics and multi-layered ceramics containing porous layers, where spherical hollow polymer particles were introduced as pore precursors. In the presence of extreme differences in density and size between Al2O3 and pore precursor particles, hindered settling was effective in preventing segregation of component particles and packing behavior of mixed powders was improved through bimodal packing. There were two transitions in packing behavior of mixed powders. The first transition took place at 40~50 vol% pore precursor addition, where majority of pores changed from close to open pore state. The other transition occured at 60~70 vol% pore precursor addition, where pore precursor particles formed a continuous network structure.
