Accumulated slag mass was predicted to estimate accurate performance of kick motor (KM) system. The validation of numerical analysis was performed with mass flow rate measured at the 4th ground test of the KM. The study described here includes the internal flow field of KM at various time steps during burning. Slag mass accumulation was analyzed through the aluminum oxide particle paths to predict slag mass deposition. Numerical analysis to solve both flow field and droplet accumulation was performed with Fluent 6.3 program. Analysing the effects of the acceleration, starting position and diameters of the aluminum oxide particles, total slag mass accumulation was obtained.

최근 무전해 식각법을 이용한 실리콘 나노와이어 합성이 다양한 각도에서 이루어지고 있다. 무전해 식각법을 통한 나노와이어 합성은, 단결정 실리콘 기판에 촉매를 올려 기판을 식각할 수 있는데, 이 방법을 이용하여 넓은 면적의 수직방향으로 배열된 10 ~ 300nm 지름의 단결정 실리콘 나노와이어를 합성할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 무전해 식각법으로 boron이 도핑된 p-type실리콘 기판을 식각하여 실리콘 나노와이어를 합성하였고, 단일 나노와이어의 field-effect transistor(FET) 소자가 가지는 전기적 특성에 대하여 분석하였다. 특히 무전해 식각법을 이용하여 나노와이어를 합성할 때, 촉매로 사용되는 Ag particle이 나노와이어에 미치는 영향에 대해서 분석해 보았다. FET 소자의 게이트 절연막은 가장 일반적으로 사용되는 SiO2 (300nm)와 고유전체로 잘 알려진HfO2(80nm)를 사용하여 전기적 특성을 비교하여 보았다. 한편, HfO2 박막은 atomiclayer deposition(ALD)장비를 이용하여 증착하였다. 합성된 실리콘 나노와이어의 경우 X-ray diffraction(XRD)로 결정성을 확인하였으며, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy(HRTEM)으로 결정성 및 나노와이어의 표면 형태를 확인하였다. 전기적 특성은 I-V 측정을 통하여 Ion/Ioff ratio, 이동도, subthreshold swing, subthreshold voltage값을 평가하였다.

마이크로노즐은 우주공간에서 인공위성의 자세를 바로잡는 데 필요한 마이크로 로켓에 들어가는 필수적인 부품이다. 마이크로 노즐은 또한 나노입자 적층 시스템(nano-particle deposition system, NPDS)에 들어갈 수 있다. NPDS는 세라믹 또는 금속 나노분말 입자를 노즐을 통해 초음속으로 가속시킨 뒤 상온에서 이를 기판에 적층시키는 새로운 시스템이다. 본 연구의 목표는 NPDS에 쓰이는 노즐을 일반적인 반도체 공정을 이용하여 마이크론 스케일의 목을 갖도록 한 마이크로노즐을 제작하는 데 있다. 보쉬 공정은 이러한 마이크로노즐을 제작하는데 필수적인 공정으로, 유도결합플라즈마를 이용해 실리콘 웨이퍼를 식각시키는 기술을 말한다. 보쉬 공정에 사용되는 플라즈마 기체는 $SF_6$와 $C_4F_8$인데, 이 두 가지 기체를 번갈아가면서 사용하여 실리콘 웨이퍼를 이방성 식각하는 것이 그 특징이다. 보쉬 공정에는 다양한 변수가 존재하며 이를 적절히 통제하면 마이크로노즐에 적합한 프로파일을 실리콘 웨이퍼 내에 형성시킬 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 보쉬 공정을 이용하여 3차원 마이크로 노즐을 제작하였다. 기존에 반응성이온식각(deep reactive ion etching, DRIE) 공정을 통해 마이크로노즐을 제작한 사례가 많이 보고되었지만 이들은 모두 2차원적으로 마이크로노즐을 제작하였다. 2차원적으로 제작한 마이크로노즐은 마이크로 로켓에 주로 사용되었지만, 초음속으로 가속된 분말이 노즐의 형상으로 인한 유체 흐름의 불안정성 때문에 NPDS에서는 오래도록 사용할 수 없다는 문제점이 있다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 마이크로노즐을 3차원 형상으로 제작함으로써 이러한 문제점을 해결하고자 하였다.

In the MBR process, the membrane fouling occurs seriously on the membrane surface. In general, the membrane fouling is attributed to factors such as deposition or adhesion of sludge floc. The occurrence of fouling is a main cause of a decrease in membrane module fluk. At this study, our MBR membrane is manufactured by nano-particle with excellent anti-fouling character. The fine nano-material which can repel the sludge Hoc from the membrane surface is distributed in the membrane surface. We confirm anti-fouling effect, test continuously in the pilot site.

Abstract It has been attempted to make the copper-graphite composites by deposition of copper on the surface of graphite through the hydrogen reduction of copper chlorides. Both KISH and natural graphites of less than 325 mesh were used as substrates and the hydrogen reduction also was conducted in the range of 350-50$0^{\circ}C$. The distribution of copper on the surface of graphite was found to increase with the decrease of reduction temperature. In addition. the partial pressure of hydrogen played an important role in the overall rate of reduction which was substantially dominated by the chemical reaction on the surface of each particle. It was concluded that the reduction temperature should be maintained as low as possible to accomplish the well distribution of copper in the composites.

The alumina-zirconia composite powders of core particle ZrO2 coated with Al2O3 were prepared by the hydrolysis-deposition of the mixed aluminum salt solution of Al2(SO4)3-Al(NO3)3-Urea. The effects of hydrolysis reaction and coating parameters on characteristics of coated powders and composites were also investigated. The degree of coating could be estimated from the ratio of tetra-/mono-ZrO2 present at the room temperature after heat-treating coated powders at 120$0^{\circ}C$ and the result of TEM observations. When the content of ZrO2 in the dispersed coating system, the coating time, and the volume ratio of water/solution were 50 mg/g, 180 min, and 5, respectively the coating efficiency was maximum (the ratio of tetra-/mono-ZrO2 was 87/13). The relative densities of coated Al2O3-ZrO2 composites sintered at 1$650^{\circ}C$ for 4 hrs were about 91~98% and the maximum ratio of tetra-/mono-ZrO2 in Al2O3-20wt% ZrO2 composites was 62/38.

In this study the sillicon-alloyed isotropic pyrolytic carbon was deposited in the tumbling bed from the pyrolysis of propane and silicon tetrachloride and investigated whether the silicon-alloyed isotropic pyrolytic carbon deposited in this study was usable as bionaterial or not. The silicon-allyed isotropic pyrolytic carbon was varied by controlling the process variables such as propane con-concentration and the argon flow rate flowing in to the silicon tetrachloride bubbler at a fixed reaction bed tempera-ture of 120$0^{\circ}C$ a rotation of reaction tube of 40 rpm a bed particle weight of 7.5 g and a total flow rate of 21/min; the propane concentration was varied from 10 to 70 and the argon flow rate flowing into the silicon tetrachloride bubble from 0 to 1000 cc/min. The results show that the silicon-alloyed isotropic pyrolytic carbon was obtained at all conditions investigated, . And then the alloyed silicon content is rangion from 7 to 14.5 wt%. The density and deposition rate of deposited silicon-alloyed isotropic carbon increased axxording to silicon content and propane concentration. And the apparent crystal-size(Lc) of pyrolytic carbon is not changed with silicon content. The density and apparant crystallite size are respec-tively in the range of 1.94 to 2.06 and 20 to 25$\AA$ It is shown that the silicon-alloyed isotropic pyrolytic carbon ob-tained in this experiment is usable as biomaterial.

An electroplating on the lead frame fabricated from domestic copper plate was studied experimentally. In this study, nickel was plated on the thin copper lead frame and silver layer was coated on the nickel film in the cyanide electrolyte. The effect of process variables such as current density, plating time, coating thickness and flow rate of electrolytic solution on the properties of coating was investigated. Some samples on each step were fabricated during electroplating. The results obtained from polarization measurement, observation of SEM photograph, adhesion test of coating and microhardness test are as follows. On silver plating, polarization resistance of potentiostatic cathodic polarization curve is reduced as the flow rate of Ag electrolytic solution increases. And above resistance is also reduced when the minor chemicals of sodium cyanide and sodium carbonate are added in potassium silver cyanide bath. The reduced polarization resistance makes silver deposition on the cathode easy. An increase in the current density and the coating thickness causes the particle size of deposit to coarsen, and consequently the Knoop microhardness of the coating decreases. On selective plating an increase in the flow rate of plating solution lead to do high speed plating with high current density. In this case, the surface morphology of deposit is of fine microstructure with high Knoop hardness. An increasing trend of the adhesion of coating was shown with increasing the current density and flow rate of electrolytic solution.

In this study, we have investigated the surface morphology of hydroxyapatite (HA) coated Ti alloy surface using pulsed laser plating. The HA (tooth ash) films were grown by pulsed KrF excimer laser, film surfaces were analyzed for topology, chemical composition, crystal structure and electrochemical behavior. The Ti-6Al-4V alloy showed ${\alpha}$ and ${\beta}$ phase, Cp-Ti showed ${\alpha}$ phase and the HA coated surface showed HA and Ti alloy peaks. The HA coating layer was formed with $1-2{\mu}m$ droplets and grain-like particles, particles which were smaller than the HA target particle, and the composition of the HA coatings were composed of Ca and P. From the electrochemical test, the pitting potential (1580 mV) of HA coated Ti-6Al-4V alloy was higher than those of Cp-Ti (1060 mV) and HA coated Cp-Ti (1350 mV). The HA coated samples showed a lower current density than non-HA coated samples, whereas, the polarization resistance of HA coated samples showed a high value compared to non-HA coated samples.

The preparation of nanocrystalline hematite, ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$, paricles and their surface coating with silica layers are described. The hematite particles with the size of 30~60 nm are firstly prepared by thermal decomposition of trinuclear acetate-hydroxo iron (III) nitrate complex, $[Fe_3$(OCOCH_3)_7$OH${\cdot}$2H_2O]NO_3$, at $400^{\circ}C$. Subsequently the hematite surfaces are coated with siliva layers by a controlled hydrolysis and condensation reaction of TEOS with varying the TEOS concentration and pH. Monodispersed and spherical $SiO_2-coatedFe_2O_3$ particles with the average particle diameter of ~90 nm and extremely narrow size distribution can be obtained at the pH of 11 and the TEOS concentration of 0.68M, which are found to be the optimum conditions in the present study in achieving the homogeneous deposition of silica layers on hematite surfaces. Diffuse reflectance UV-Vis spectra reveal that the characteristic optical reflectance of ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ particles is preserved almost constant even after coating the surfaces, suggesting that the $SiO_2$ layers can be regarded as protecting layers without degrading the optical properties of hematite particles.
