Degree of unsaturation in fatty acid molecules plays an important role in the formation of vesicles. Vesicle formation from C18 fatty acids with different amount of double bonds such as oleic acid, linoleic acid and linolenic acid with the incorporation of 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-[methoxy(polyethylene glycol)-2000] (DPPE-PEG2000) have been examined by TEM. Critical vesicular concentrations (CVC) of the vesicle suspension are determined by turbidity and surface tension methods. The CVC of fatty acids increases when the amount of unsaturation in the alkyl chain increases. On the other hand, stability of vesicle suspension has been examined by using particle size and zeta potential at $30^{\circ}C$. There was a dramatic decrease in particle size measurement from mono-unsaturation to tri-unsaturation which could be due to the effect of fluidity in the membrane bilayer caused by different degree of unsaturation. The values of zeta potential for vesicles that were formed without the incorporation of DPPE-PEG2000 were in the range of -70 mV to -100 mV. It has been observed that the incorporation of DPPEPEG2000 to the vesicle reduces the magnitude of zeta potential. However, this phenomenon does not obviously seen in fatty acid vesicles formed by linoleate-linoleic acid and linolenate-linolenic acid. We therefore conclude that the addition of DPPE-PEG2000 does not effectively improve the stability of the linoleate-linoleic acid and linolenatelinolenic acid vesicle at pH 9.0 after the evaluation of their particle size and zeta potential over a period of 30 days. Although the vesicles formed were not stable for more than 10 days, they have displayed the potential in encapsulating the active ingredients such as vitamin E and calcein. The results show that the loading efficiencies of vitamin E are of encouraging value.

We have studied the origin of an additional plateau of $Li_{4+x}Ti_5O_{12}$ (LTO) observed at 0.7 V (vs. Li/$Li^+$). Some LTO has to be discharged down to below 1.0 V forming two-stage plateau (1.5 V and 0.7 V) in order to obtain most of capacity while others could achieve the same level of capacity at higher potential (1.0 V vs. Li/$Li^+$) forming one plateau (1.5 V). The particle size effect has been investigated as a possible reason of this. The 0.7 V plateau was gradually elongated with increasing the particle size. The structural variations and kinetic behaviors during discharge were carefully examined by in-situ XRD technique and OCV measurement. According to structural and electrochemical verifications, the kinetic limitation of $Li^+$ insertion is responsible primarily for the two-stage plateau which is related to the particle size of LTO rather than the formation of new intermediate phase during discharge. Herein, we propose a possible reaction model to elucidate this abnormal behavior of LTO below 1.0 V (Li/$Li^+$).

A high resolution digital cinematic Particle Image Velocimetry(PIV) has been developed. The system consists of a high speed CCD camera, a continuous Ar-ion laser and a computer with camera controller. To improve the spatial resolution, we adopt a Recursive Technique for velocity interrogation. At first, we obtain a velocity vector for a larger interrogation window size based on the conventional two-frame cross-correlation PIV analysis using the FFT algorithm. Based on the knowing velocity information, more spatially resolved velocity vectors are obtained in the next iteration step with smaller interrogation windows. The correct velocity vector at the first step is found to be critical, so we apply a Multiple Correlation Validation(MCV) technique in order to decrease the spurious vectors. The MCV technique turns out to improve SNR(Signal to Noise Ratio) of the correlation table. The developed cinematic PIV method has been applied to the measurement of the unsteady flow characteristics of a Rushton turbine mixer. A total of 3,245 instantaneous velocity vectors were successfully obtained with 4 ms time resolution. The acquired spatial resolution corresponds the performance of the conventional high resolution digital PIV system using a $1K{\times}1K$ CCD camera.

지금까지의 충돌분무에 대한 연구는 제트의 충돌시 형성되는 액막의 분열 과정을 이해하고 이를 모델링하는데 초점을 두어왔기 때문에 실질적으로 연소 효율에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 연료의 공간분포 특성에 대한 연구가 부족하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 like-doublet 충돌분사 노즐을 사용하여 연료 유량 플럭스의 단면분포 특성을 연구하였다. PDPA(Phase Doppler Particle Analyzer)를 통해 액적의 크기를 측정한 기존의 방법은 연료의 평면적인 분포특성을 이해하는데 상당히 제한적이었기 때문에 평면 레이저 유도형광기법(PLE : Planar Laser Induced Fluorescence)을 이용하여 분무의 단면 분포를 측정하였고, 직접사진을 통하여 액적의 크기도 측정하여 PLIF의 결과와 비교하였다.

비전통(unconventional) 에너지 자원 중 최근 각광받고 있는 셰일 가스의 회수율을 높이기 위해서는 저류층의 공극 구조 연구가 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 대면적으로 입자나 형상 분포를 확인 할 수 있도록 개발된 분석 장치인 대면적 자동화 입자 분석 시스템(Scanning Electron Microscope Particle Analysis, SELPA)을 활용하여 셰일 가스 저류층 시료의 공극 분포를 관찰하였다. 본 연구에서는 리아드 분지에서 시추된 A-068 시추공 시료 중 방해석이 주 구성 광물인 시료를 대상으로 연구를 수행하였다. SELPA를 이용하여 시료 내 수십 나노에서 수백 마이크로미터 크기의 공극을 관찰하였고 각 공극의 크기 별 비율을 확인하였다. 같은 영역의 표면을 대상으로 각각 1000배, 3000배, 5000배의 배율로 이미지를 관찰하여 공극의 분포를 확인한 결과 최소 3000배 이상의 배율에서 관찰해야 100 nm 이하의 공극까지 관찰되어 작은 스케일의 공극 분포까지 분석할 수 있는 것이 확인되었다. 본 연구에서 소개된 방법론을 통해 셰일 가스 저류층을 포함한 비전통 자원의 저류층 내공극의 분포를 단시간에 파악할 수 있는 방법론이 확인되었으며 향후 비전통 저류층 내 공극 구조 파악에 활용할 수 있을 것이 기대된다.

해상공사에서 발생하는 부유사는 해수의 탁도를 증가시키고 광량을 감소시켜 해양생물에 악영향을 미치므로 해양환경영향평가에서 중요한 요소이다. 하지만 평가에 적용되는 인자에 대한 공식적인 자료의 부족과 평가자의 능력에 따라 그 영향이 달리 평가되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 해역이용영향평가센터에서 검토한 3년간(2012-2014)의 매립, 준설, 외곽시설물 설치 등 총 58건 사업에 대한 부유사 확산 평가에 대한 실태를 진단하고 개선방안을 제시하였다. 개선방안 제시를 위해 4가지의 평가지표(격자체계의 적정성, 원단위의 적정성, 대표입경 및 침강속도의 적정성)를 적용하였다. 각 항목별 신뢰도에 평균점수 분석결과, 격자체계는 25점, 원단위는 60점, 대표입경은 34점 그리고 침강속도는 17점으로 평가항목에 대한 개선방안이 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 부유사 확산 평가상태에 대한 진단 및 신뢰도 평가 결과를 활용하여 부유사 확산예측에 대한 개선방안을 제안하였다. 먼저, 부유사 발생원단위 및 대표입경별 침강속도에 대한 공신력 있는 값이 가이드라인을 통해 제공해야 한다. 그리고 실무에선 신뢰성 향상을 위해 격자체계의 적정성과 결과의 검증을 철저히 해야 한다.

This paper presents the spray atomization characteristics of the high-pressure gasoline injector for the direct-injection gasoline engine. The gasoline sprays of the injector were minted into a pressurized spray chamber with a optical access at various ambient pressures. The atomization characteristics of fuel spray such as mean diameter, mean velocity of droplet were measured by the phase Doppler particle analyzer system. In order to investigate the effect of fuel injection pressure on the quantitative characteristics of spray, the global visualization and experiment of particle measurement in the fuel spray were investigated at 3, 5 and 7 MPa of injection pressure under different ambient pressure in the spray chamber. Based on the results of this work, the fuel injection pressure of fuel injector in gasoline direct-injection engine have influence upon distribution of the mean velocity and droplet size of fuel spray. Also, the influence of injection pressure on the velocity distribution at various measuring location were investigated.

Fine TiO2 and BaTiO3 powders having spherical particles were synthesized by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis of alcoholic solution of metal alkoxide in an electric furnace heated at 400-90$0^{\circ}C$. Microstructure and composition of particles synthesized were observed by TEM and XRD respectively. Spectific surface area of powders synthesized was examined through BET specific surface area measurement. TEM observation revealed that the particle size did not change irrespective of pyrolysis temperature but decreased according to the increase of concentration and spherical particle was consisted of primary particles of about 0.02${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. As for BaTiO3 powder, the ratio of Ti/Ba was 0.987 by EDX analysis.

The atomizing characteristics in a spray injected from a twin fluid atomization nozzle have been investigated. The Sauter mean diameters as mean diameter are compared with wavelength calculated from the instability theory. The Sauter mean diameter are measured by the Fraunhofer diffraction theory using the Malvern particle sizer. The wavelength is calculated using the mean relative velocity instead of the exit relative velocity of nozzle. Also shadowgraphy technique is used to visualize atomization phenomena. This paper gives a possibility that the mean diameter can be predicted with the wavelength obtained by the simple instability theory.

Nanofluid is a novel heat transfer fluid prepared by dispersing nanometer-sized solid particles in traditional heat transfer fluid to increase thermal conductivity and heat transfer performance. In this research we have considered the rheological properties of nanofluids made of CuO particles of 10-30nm in length and ethylene glycol in conjunction with the thermal conductivity enhancement. When examined using TEM, individual CuO particles have the shape of prolate spheroid of the aspect ratio of 3 and most of the particles are under aggregated states even after sonication for a prolonged period. From the rheological property it has been found that the volume fraction at the dilute limit is 0.002, which is much smaller than the value based on the shape and size of individual particles due to aggregation of particles. At the semi-dilute regime, the zero shear viscosity follows the Doi-Edwards theory on rodlike particles. The thermal conductivity measurement shows that substantial enhancement in thermal conductivity with respect to particle concentration is attainable only when particle concentration is below the dilute limit.
