Pressure swing adsorption is a purification process which can get pure hydrogen. The purification process is composed of four process: compression, adsorption, desorption and discharge. In this study the adsorption process was simulated by using the Fluent and validated with experimental results. A gas used in experiment is composed of H₂, CO₂, CH₄, and CO. Adsorption process conducted under 313 kelvin and 3 bar and bituminous-coal-based (BPL) activated carbon was used as the adsorbent. Langmuir model was applied to explain the gas adsorption. And diffusion of all the gases was controlled by micro-pore resistances. The result shows that, the most adsorbed gas was carbon dioxide, followed by methane and carbon monoxide. And carbon monoxide took the least amount of time to reach the maximum adsorption amount. The molar fraction of the off-gas became the same as the molar fraction of the gas supplied from the inlet after adsorption reached the equilibrium.

A rigorous study of single droplet vaporization under quiescent high pressure atmosphere is attempted adopting method of flash evaporation calculation for vapor-liquid equilibrium. Results due to flash method shows excellent agreement with measurement. Also shown is the present model fairly capable of depicting transients of droplet vaporization under high pressure environment, such as ambient gas solubility, property variation, and multicomponent transports. Systematic treatment of these effects with emphasis on vapor-liquid phase equilibrium revealed; conventional treatment for subcritical droplet vaporization, such as $d^2$-law, leads to erroneous prediction of droplet history, augmented gas solubility is significant under supercritical pressure, and vaporization rate proportionally increase with pressure.

There are many difficult problems in analyzing the flow characteristics in a high voltage circuit breaker such as shock wave and complex geometries, which may be either static or in relative motion. Although a variety of mesh generation techniques are now available, the generation of meshes around complicated, multicomponent geometries like a gas circuit breaker is still a tedious and difficult task for the computational fluid dynamics. This paper presents the computational method for analyzing the compressible flow fields in a high voltage gas circuit breaker using the Cartesian cut-cell method based on the CFD-CAD integration, which can achieve the accurate representation of the geometry designed by a CAD tools. The technique is frequently satisfied, and it will be almost universally so in the future, as the CFD-CAD traffic increases.

현재 기후 온난화의 주요원인 이산화탄소의 배출은 전 세계적으로 문제가 되고 있다. 이에 따라, 기존에 존재하는 화력 발전소 및 철강 공장과 같은 다량의 이산화탄소를 발생시키는 공장에서는 이산화탄소의 격리와 저장 등의 기술이 필요해졌고, 현재 많은 공장에서 실제 분리가 일어나고 있다. 또한 이러한 직접적인 배출량 감소 말고도 간접적으로 이산화탄소의 배출을 줄일 수 있는 일산화탄소, 수소 등의 환원가스의 재사용에 대해서도 여러 방식으로 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 이에 따라, 대표적인 가스 분리공정 중 하나인 Pressure swing adsorption(PSA)나, 최근 몇몇 공장에서 실 사용이 이루어지고 있는 막 분리공정을 사용하여 이산화탄소, 일산화탄소 및 수소를 분리하는 많은 연구들이 수행되어 왔다. 또한, 이 두 종류의 공정을 합친 하이브리드 공정에 대한 연구도 존재했다. 하지만 분리 목표 가스가 두 가지 이상인 다성분 기체에 대하여 연속공정 모델을 만들고, 이 모델 전체에 대해 조업 최적화 및 경제성 평가를 다룬 연구는 진행되어 오지 않았다. 본 논문에서는 이산화탄소, 일산화탄소, 수소 및 다른 기체들을 포함한 다성분 기체를 대상으로 환원가스로 사용 가능한 일산화탄소, 수소와 분리 저장이 필요한 이산화탄소를 분리하는 PSA와 막 공정을 사용한 연속공정 모델을 개발하고, 이 모델을 사용하여 가능한 시나리오들을 생성한 뒤 조업 최적화를 진행해 경제성을 평가하였다. 그 결과, 수소 가스의 조성이 초기에 14% 정도일 경우 수소를 분리하는 것보다 연료로 사용해야 하며, $CO_2$와 CO의 조성이 30% 정도로 유사할 경우 $CO_2$를 먼저 분리하는 것이 유리하다는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 진행한 결과를 통해 분리 대상 기체의 분리 경제성을 분석하여 가스 분리 여부 결정에 도움을 줄 수 있을 것이다.

In understanding AGN physics, it is fundamental to determine black hole masses. Based on the gas kinematics of the broad-line region, black hole masses can be derived from the product of the width of the broad emission lines and the continuum/line luminosities. For a sample of 37 intermediate-luminosity AGN at z~0.4, we obtained high quality spectra (S/N~100) using the Low Resolution Imaging Spectrometer(LRIS) at the KECK telescope, in order to calibrate various black hole mass estimators based on the Mg II (2798A), the $H{\beta}$ (4861A), and the $H{\alpha}$ (6563$\bar{A}$) emission lines. Based on our multicomponent fitting analysis, we subtract continuum, FeII emission, and host galaxy starlight, reducing systematic errors in measuring emission line widths. Combining low S/N SDSS spectra with our high S/N keck spectra, we determine a set of ~30 black hole masses of the sample for each emission line. Then by comparing various sets of black hole masses, we internally calibrate each mass estimators and investigate uncertainties and limitations of each mass estimator.

고효율 공냉형 흡수식 냉방기를 위한 신작동매체로 기존의 $LiBr-H_2O$계에 높은 흡수성과 용해성를 지닌 $LiNO_3$과 LiCl 무기물을 각각 첨가하여 제조하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 제조된 다성분계의 작동매체에 대한 용해도와 증기압을 측정하여 $LiBr-H_2O$계와 비교 분석하였으며, 이들에 대한 최적혼합비를 각각 구하였다. 용해도 측면에서 $LiBr-LiNO_3-H_2O$계의 경우, LiBr과 $LiNO_3$의 최적혼합 몰비는 5:1이었으며, 반면 $LiBr-LiNO_3-LiCl-H_2O$계의 경우 LiBr, $LiNO_3$, LiCl의 최적혼합몰비는 5:1:2로 나타났다. 한편 증기압은 $LiBr-H_2O$계에 $LiNO_3$의 첨가량이 증가하였으나, LiCl의 경우에는 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 감소하는 경향을 각각 나타내었다.

제올라이트(faujasite) 흡착제가 충진된 흡착탑에서 에탄/에틸렌 혼합가스의 흡착 동특성과 탈착제로 프로판을 이용한 치환탈착 시의 동특성을 실험 및 이론적으로 연구하였다. 물질수지와 에너지수지를 고려하고 다성분 흡착평형으로 이상흡착상 모델을 적용한 전산모사는 흡탈착 파과곡선 실험 결과를 잘 예측하였다. 흡착파과 시 에탄의 롤-엎은 흡착압력이 높고, 온도가 낮을수록 증가하였다. 에탄/에틸렌 혼합가스로 포화된 흡착탑으로 탈착제인 프로판을 주입하여 치환탈착할 때 탈착단계의 일정 시간 동안에 거의 100%에 가까운 에틸렌을 얻을 수 있었다. 탈착제의 흡착세기는 에틸렌의 탈착 및 재흡착 시에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 프로판 대신 흡착세기가 강한 이소부탄을 탈착제로 사용한 경우에 탈착단계 후 재흡착에서 에틸렌 흡착용량이 많이 감소하는 현상이 관찰되었다. 전산모사를 통하여 ${(q_s{\times}b)}_{C_2H_4}/{(q_s{\times}b)}_{C_3H_s}$의 비율이 0.83일 때, 즉 탈착제와 에틸렌이 거의 유사한 정도의 흡착세기를 가질 때 치환탈착공정의 성능이 우수하였다.

Recently molybdenum alloys have been introduced as accident tolerating materials for cladding of fuel rods. Molybdenum element has seven stable isotopes with different neutron absorption cross section used in various fields, including nuclear physics and radioisotope production. This study presents separation approaches for all intermediate isotopes of molybdenum element by squared-off cascades using a newly developed numerical code with Salp Swarm Algorithm (SSA) optimization algorithm. The parameters of cascade including feed flow rate, feed entry stage, cascade cut, input feed flow rate to gas centrifuges (GCs), and cut of the first stage are optimized to maximize both isotope recovery and cascade capacity. The squared off and squared cascades are studied, and the efficiencies are compared. The results obtained from the optimization showed that for the selected squared off cascade, Mo⁹⁴ in four separation steps, Mo⁹⁵ in five steps, Mo⁹⁶ in six steps, Mo⁹⁷ in seven steps, and Mo⁹⁸ in two steps are separated to the desired concentrations. The highest recovery factor is obtained 63% for Mo⁹⁴ separation and lowest recovery factor is found 45% for Mo⁹⁵.

The ¹⁸⁰W is the lightest isotope of Tungsten with small abundance ratio. It is slightly radioactive (α decay), with an extremely long half-life. Its separation is possible by non-conventional single withdrawal cascades. The ¹⁸⁰W is used in radioisotopes production and study of metals through gamma-ray spectroscopy. In this paper, single withdrawal cascade model is developed to evaluate multicomponent separation in non-conventional transient cascades, and available experimental results are used for validation. Numerical studies for separation of ¹⁸⁰W in a transient single withdrawal cascade are performed. Parameters affecting the separation and equilibrium time of cascade such as number of stages, cascade arrangements, feed location and flow rate for a fixed number of gas centrifuges (GC) are investigated. The Salp Swarm Algorithm (SSA) as a bio-inspired optimization algorithm is applied as a novel method to minimize the feed consumption to obtain desired concentration in the collection tank. Examining different cascade arrangements, it is observed in arrangements with more stages, the separation is further efficient. Based on the obtained results, with increasing feed flow rate, for fixed product concentration, the cascade equilibrium time decreases. Also, it is shown while the feed location is the farthest stage from the collection tank, the separation and cascade equilibrium time are well-organized. Finally, using SSA optimal parameters of the cascade is calculated, and optimal arrangement to produce 5 gr of ¹⁸⁰W with 90% concentration in the tank, is proposed.

Multicomponent transparent conducting oxide films were deposited on glass substrates at 150 by dual magnetron sputtering of AZO and ITO targets. In the case of mixing a limited amount of ITO (10W), resistivity of TCO films was significantly increased compared to the AZO film; from $3.5{\times}10^{-3}$ to $9.7{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$. Deterioration of the electrical conductivity is attributed to the decreases in carrier concentration and Hall mobility. Improvement of the conductivity could be obtained for the films prepared with ITO powers larger than 40 W. The lowest resistivity ($\rho$) of $7.3{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ was achieved when ITO power was 100 W. Effects of $H_2$ incorporation on the electrical and optical properties of AZO-ITO films were investigated in this work. Addition of small amount of hydrogen resulted in the increase of carrier concentration and the improvement of electrical conductivity. It is apparent that the roughness of AZO-ITO films decreases dramatically after the transition of microstructure from polycrystalline to amorphous phase, which gives practical advantages such as an excellent uniformity of surface and a high etching rate. AZO-ITO films grown at sputtering ambient with hydrogen gas are expected to be applicable to optoelectronic devices such as organic light emitting diodes and flexible displays due to their sufficient electrical and structural properties.
