Thermal bubbles find their diverse application areas in the MEMS (MicroElectroMechanial Systems) technology, including bubble jet printers, microactuators, micropumps, etc.. Especially, microactuators and micropumps, which use a microbubble growing by a controlled heat input, frequently involve mechanical and thermal interaction of the bubble with a solid structure, such as a cantilever beam and a membrane. Although the concept is experimentally verified that an internal pressure of the bubble can build up high enough to deflect a thin solid plate or a beam, the physics of the entire process have not yet been thoroughly explored. This work reports the experimental study of the growth of a thermal bubble while deflecting a thin cantilever beam. A physical model is presented to predict the elastic response of the cantilever beam based on the experimental measurements. The scaling law constructed through this work can provide a design guide for micro- and nano-systems that employ a thermal bubble for their actuation/pumping mechanism.

본 연구에서는 가변부피 투시창이 설치되어 있는 고압 상평형 측정 장치를 사용하여 이산화탄소의 임계온도 이상과 디메틸포름아마이드(DMF)의 임계온도 이하의 온도 범위에서 혼합물의 조성을 변화시키면서 이산화탄소와 디메틸포름아마이드 혼합물의 기포점 압력을 측정하였다. 실험적으로 측정된 기포점 압력 데이터를 Peng-Robinson 상태방정식에 상관시킴으로써 기포점 조성과 평형을 이루는 이슬점 조성을 추정하였다. 실험적으로 측정된 기포점 압력은 Peng-Robinson 상태방정식으로 계산한 결과와 매우 잘 일치하였다. 가변부피 투시창이 설치되어 있는 고압 상평형 실험장치는 고압의 압축유체 혼합물의 기포점을 매우 쉽고 빠르게 측정할 수 있는 방법이라고 할 수 있다.

The objectives of this paper are to study the absorption characteristics of $NH_3$ bubbles in the binary nanofluids and to quantify the effects of surfactants and nano-particles on the bubble absorption performance. 2-Ethyl-1-Hexanol, n-Octanol, and 2-Octanol are used as the surfactants and nano-sized $Al_{2}O_3$ and Cu particles are added to make the binary nanofluids into $NH_3/H_{2}O$ solution. The concentration of $NH_3$ solution ($x_s$), the concentration of surfactants ($x_{SA}$), and the mass fraction of nano-particles ($w_{np}$) are considered as key parameters. The experimented ranges of $x_s,\;x_{SA},\;and\;w_{np}$ are $0{\sim}17.92\%,\;0{\sim}1,500\;ppm\;and\;0{\sim}0.2\%$, respectively. The absorption rates are calculated by measuring initial and final weights of test section and exposed time. In addition, the bubble absorption processes are visualized using the shadow graphic method. The results show that the absorption performance is significantly enhanced up to 4 times by adding the surfactants and up to 3 times in the binary nanofluids.

The bubble oscillations play an important role in ultrasonic cleaning processes. In the ultrasonic cleaning of semiconductor wafers, the cleaning process often damages micro/nano scale patterns while removing contaminant particles. However, the understanding of how patterns in semiconductor wafers are damaged during ultrasonic cleaning is far from complete yet. Here, we report the observations of the motion of bubbles that induce solid wall damage under 26 kHz continuous ultrasonic waves. We classified the motions into the four types, i.e. volume motion, shape motion, splitting or jetting motion and chaotic motion. Our experimental results show that bubble oscillations get unstable and nonlinear as the ultrasonic amplitude increases, which may exert a large stress on a solid surface raising the possibility of damaging microstructures.

The objectives of this paper are to analyze simultaneous heat and mass transfer performance for a plate type bubble absorber with binary nanofluids numerically and to investigate the effects of binary nanofluids and surfactants on the size of the bubble absorber. The effective absorption ratio represents the effect of binary nanofluids and surfactants on the absorption performance. The kinds and concentrations of nano-particles and surfactants are considered as the key parameters. The results show that the addition of surfactants can reduce the size of absorber up to 74.4%, the application of binary nanofluids does the size up to 63.6%. Combination of binary nanofluids and surfactants can reduce the size of absorber up to 77.4%.

The use of micro bubbles in industrial fields has been increasing in the recent years., particularly micro-bubble sterilization and water purification effects. Various methods have been developed for the generation of micro-bubbles. Depending on the method of generating bubbles, the micro-bubbles can be roughly classified into saturation molding, cavitation and rotation flow types. The objective of this study was to use ventilated tube type as a method of generating micro-bubbles in order to purify large amount of water quality such as lakes and reservoirs. This method shows a difference in efficiency in which micro-bubbles are generated depending on the contact ratio of gas to liquid. The study also investigated the optimal gas liquid contact ratio by applying various orifice methods and investigated the optimum condition of micro-bubble generation by gas Based on this, a technology to develop a micro-bubble generator with a venturi type nozzle shape that has a high water purification effect was developed.

지하역사 내 대기오염물질은 외부에서 유입되거나 또는 지하철 내부의 승객 승·하차 시 발생하는 등 여러 가지 요인에 의해 복합적으로 발생한다. 최근 연구 결과에 따르면, 지하역사 내 터널 및 지하철역에서 발생하는 대부분의 대기오염물질은 열차풍에 의해 발생되는 것과 같이 내부적 요인에 많은 영향을 많이 받는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이러한 대기오염물질을 제어하기 위해서는 지하철역사 내에 전기집진장치와 같은 집진시설이 필요하며, 집진장치에 의해 제거된 미세먼지를 보다 효율적으로 관리하기 위해서는 집진장치 내부에 지속적인 세척이 필수적이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 지하역사에 설치할 전기집진장치 내부 집진판에 쌓인 미세먼지를 세척하기 위한 나노버블세척 장치를 개발하였고 나노버블수의 먼지세척효율을 평가하고자 하였다. 실험 결과, 분사압 증가에 따라 세척 효율이 일정하게 증가하였고 나노버블수로 세척할 경우 수돗물로 세척한 경우보다 부착먼지 제거효율이 130.8% 더 증가하였다. 세척횟수 증가에 따라 최대 제거효율은 수돗물에 비해 143.1% 높았지만 적합한 세척횟수는 3회 미만인 것으로 나타났다. 또한 나노버블수 체류시간 변화에 따른 세척효율 실험결과, 나노버블수의 최대 체류시간은 5분 이내로 유지됨을 확인하였다.

In recent years, inkjet printing technology has received significant attention as a micro/nanofabrication technique for flexible printing of electronic circuits and solar cells, as well for biomaterial patterning. It eliminates the need for physical masks, causes fewer environment problems, lowers fabrication costs, and offers good layer-to-layer registration. To fulfill the requirements for use in the above applications, however, the inkjet system must meet certain criteria such as high frequency jetting, uniform droplet size, high density nozzle array, etc. Existing inkjet devices are either based on thermal bubbles or piezoelectric pumping; they have several drawbacks for flexible printing. For instance, thermal bubble jetting has limitations in terms of size and density of the nozzle array as well as the ejection frequency. Piezoelectric based devices suffer from poor pumping energy in addition to inadequate ejection frequency. Recently, an electrohydrodynamic (EHD) printing technique has been suggested and proposed as an alternative to thermal bubble or piezoelectric devices. In EHD jetting, a liquid (ink) is pumped through a nozzle and a strong electric field is applied between the nozzle and an extractor plate, which induce charges at the surfaces of the liquid meniscus. This electric field creates an electric stress that stretches the meniscus in the direction of the electric field. Once the electric field force is larger than the surface tension force, a liquid droplet is formed. An EHD inkjet head can produce droplets smaller than the size of the nozzle that produce them. Furthermore, the EHD nano-inkjet can eject high viscosity liquid through the nozzle forming tiny structures. These unique features distinguish EHD printing from conventional methods for sub-micron resolution printing. In this presentation, I will introduce the recent research results regarding the EHD nano-inkjet and the printing system, which has been applied to solar cell or thin film transistor applications.
