This study describes that electrical breakdown of liquid nitrogen which is influenced with bubble has been investigated as liquid nitrogen is used coolant of high temperature(T/sub c/) superconductivity. In order to investigate breakdown of liquid nitrogen, we formed electrode system of parallel and vertical configuration toward gravitutional direction. In case of changing with electrode configuration of equal electrode and gap spacing in uniform and nonuniform electric field bubble behavior is changed. In result of that, breakdown voltage is changed. Therefore, this study proved that electrode configuration must be formed the smallest existing probability of bubble between two electrodes in order to increase breakdown strength of liquid nitrogen at atmosphere pressure.

The plasma properties in the facing target sputtering system during carbon nitride film deposition have been investigated. The ionized nitrogen species of the deposited films increased with increasing discharge current and were independent of the nitrogen pressure. The nitrogen content in the films did not vary significantly with the variation of nitrogen gas. The electron temperature was high close to that in the inter-cathode region, reduced as the electrons moved away from the most intense region of magnetic confinement and increased again outside this region. Calculations based on the film composition showed that the ion to carbon atom ratio at the substrate was about 50 and that the ratio between the ionized and neutral nitrogen molecules was about 0.25.

The exergy method is used for analysis and evaluation of the cryogenic nitrogen production process which is operated by expansion turbene and liquid nitrogen. The exergy loss and thermodynamic effeciency are calculated for the each process. Also the operating efficiency and the exergy distribution are examined for each unit of proces. The optimal conditions to minimize the exergy loss of nitrogen column are found that nitrogen recovery ratio is maximum and operating pressure is 5.0 kg/cm2g. The exergy method can be used to design a plant and to evaluate its process.

The expansive properties of leaf tobacco by nitrogen gas was investigated with cut tobacco AB3O-1, CD3L-1(NC82). Major factors for the best expansion of the tobacco by the gas were an impregnated pressure and expansion temperature. The expansion rate for AB3O-1 and CD3L-1 at 250℃, 750kg/cm2 was 96.6%, 99.4% respectively. The shred size and fineness index at 96.6% of expansion rate for AB3O-1 was almost the same as at 58.3% for CD3L-1. The time reaching at equilibrium moisture under of RH 57% was 36hr in non-treated leaf tobacco, but it was 20hr in expanded tobacco. We confirmed that total sugar contents of leaf tobacco by the expansion was decreased with 9.3∼10.9%. Total alkaloid was decreased with 17.5∼21.1% and ether extracts was declined with 4.9∼9.3%. These results suggest that the expansion method of leaf tobacco by nitrogen gas is a useful method without any serious environmental troubles. Key words : expansion, nitrogen gas, heat treatment, tobacco.

High Temperature Superconductor power cable systems are being developed actively to solve the problem of increasing power demand. With increases in the unit length of the High Temperature Superconductor power cable, it is necessary to develop highly efficient and reliable cryogenic pumps to transport the coolant over long distances. Generally, to obtain a high degree of efficiency, the cryogenic pump requires a high pressure rise with a low flow rate, and a partial emission type pump is appropriate considering its low specific speed, which is different from the conventional centrifugal type, full emission type. This paper describes the design of a partial emission pump to circulate subcooled liquid nitrogen. It consists of an impeller, a circular case and a diffuser. The conventional pump and the partial emission pump have different features in the impeller and the discharge flow passage. The partial emission pump uses an impeller with straight radial blades. The emission of working fluid does not occur continuously from all of the impeller channels, and the diffuser allows the flow only from a part of the impeller channels. As the area of the diffuser increases gradually, it converts the dynamic pressure into static pressure while minimizing the loss of total pressure. We used the known numerical method for the optimum design process and made a CFD analysis to verify the theoretical performance.

액체 질소를 이용하여 극저온 단일 제트 유동의 특성을 관찰하였다. 고압 챔버 내부에 액체 질소를 분사하여 단일 제트를 생성, 주위기체압력을 변화시킴으로써 아임계 조건부터 초임계 조건의 주위 환경에 따른 제트의 특성 변화를 확인하였다. 또한 분사기의 길이 대 직경비 및 분사기 내부 형상의 변화에 따른 제트의 특성 변화를 파악하였다. 유동 가시화를 통하여 극저온 제트의 형상 및 액주의 지름을 측정하였으며, 이로부터 액주의 확산각을 계산하여 이전 연구 결과와 비교하였다. 아임계 조건 및 초임계 조건에서의 제트의 형상 변화를 관찰하였으며, 주위기체압력이 대기압과 동일할 경우 제트 유동에서 불안정이 발생함을 확인하였다. 또한 주위기체압력이 증가함에 따라 액주의 확산각이 점차 증가하다가 일정 압력 이상에서 거의 일정하게 유지됨을 확인하였다.

The influence of thermodynamic transition associated with transcritical nitrogen injection upon the flow structure was investigated to explore numerical simulation of the injectant dynamics of oxygen/hydrogen coaxial jet in liquid rocket engines. Single and coaxial nitrogen jets were treated by comparing the transcritical and perfect-gaseous conditions, wherein the numerical model was accommodative to the real-fluid thermodynamics and transport properties at supercritical pressures. The model was in the first place validated by comparing the results of transcritical nitrogen injection between calculations and available experiments. For a single jet under the transcritical condition, the nitrogen kept a relatively high density up to its pseudo-critical temperature inside the mixing layer, since it remains less expanding until heated up to its pseudo-critical temperature. Numerical analysis revealed that cryogenic jets exhibit strong dependence of specific enthalpy profile upon the associated density profile that are both dominated by turbulent thermal diffusion. In the numerical model, therefore, exact evaluation of turbulent heat fluxes becomes very important for simulating turbulent cryogenic jets under supercritical pressures. Concerning the coaxial jets due to transcritical/gaseous nitrogen injections, the density profile inside the mixing layer was again affected by the thermodynamic transition of nitrogen. However, hydrodynamic instability modes of the inner jet did not show significant differences by this thermodynamic transition, so that further study is needed for the mixing process downstream of the near injection position.

본 연구는 고수압 해저터널의 차수를 위한 동결공법 적용성 평가를 위해 국내 적용사례가 없는 동결공법의 해외 시공사례를 조사하였으며, 지반 동결공법에서 보편적으로 사용하는 냉매인 브라인(brine)과 액체질소($LN_2$)에 대한 분석을 수행하였다. 고수압 조건의 해수는 순수한 물에 비하여 어는 점이 더 낮기 때문에 지상에서보다 동결시간이 더 길 수 있고 해저터널과 같이 폐쇄된 공간에서의 적용 시 냉매는 안정성을 확보할 수 있어야 하고 공기 단축이 가능해야 한다. 브라인은 재사용이 가능하고 독성이 적어 인체에 미치는 영향이 적으나, 동결에 상대적으로 장시간 필요하고 동결장비가 복잡한 특징을 가지고 있으며, 액체질소는 냉매의 재사용이 불가하며 기화 시 공기 중 질소농도 증가로 질식의 위험성이 있으나, 상대적으로 동결시간이 짧으며, 동결장비가 간단한 특징을 가지고 있는 것으로 파악되었다. 또한 향후 추가적인 연구가 필요한 해저터널 연결구 및 막장면 주변 지반에 대한 동결공법의 주요 설계요소를 도출하였다.

바이오가스로부터 이산화탄소와 질소를 제거하기 위한 흡착공정은 많이 논의되고 있다. 특히 흡착공정 중에서 압력변동흡착(Pressure swing adsorption)공정은 에너지소모가 적고 가격이 경제적이기 때문에 기체의 분리와 정제를 위한 공정으로 적절하다. 물리적 흡착을 사용하는 PSA공정은 흡착과 탈착이 가능하다. 각 cycle단계의 구성은 가압, 주입 및 흡착, 압력 균등화, 감압 및 세정으로 이루어져있다. 본 실험에서 PSA공정은 이산화탄소와 질소를 제거하기 위한 흡착제로 zeolite 13X와 carbon molecular sieve (CMS)로 구성되어 있으며, 혼합 가스의 농도는 $CH_4/CO_2/N_2$ (75:21:4 vol%)의 비율을 갖고 있다. 각각 zeolite 13X와 CMS는 선택적으로 혼합가스로부터 질소와 이산화탄소를 흡착하여 분리하고 제거한다. 또한 CMS의 경우는 빠르게 분산되는 이산화탄소의 처리량이 높다. 상부탱크, 하부탱크, 주입탱크의 가스 조성은 TCD 검출기를 이용하는 gas chromatography (GC)에 의해서 측정되었다.

In order for studying pressure-coupled dynamic responses of droplet vaporization, open-loop experiment of an isolated droplet vaporization exposed to pressure perturbations in stagnant gaseous environment is numerically conducted. Governing equations are solved for flow parameters at gas and liquid phases separately and thermodynamic parameters at the interfacial boundary are matched for problem closure. For high-pressure effects, vapor-liquid interfacial thermodynamics is rigorously treated. A series of parametric calculations in terms of mean pressure level and wave frequencies are carried out employing a n-pentane droplet in stagnant gaseous nitrogen. Results show that wave instability in view of pressure-coupled vaporization response seems more susceptible at higher pressures and higher wave frequencies. Mass evaporation rate responding to pressure waves is amplified with increase in pressure due to substantial reduction in latent heat of vaporization. Augmentation of perturbation frequency also enhances amplification due to the reduction of phase differences between pressure perturbation and surface temperature fluctuation.
