  • Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell Solar cells(DSSC) were appeared for overcoming global environmental problems and lack of fossil fuel problems. And it is one of study field that is getting into the spotlight lately because manufacturing method is more simple and inexpensive than existing silicon solar cells. Oxide semiconductor is used for adsorption of dye and electron transfer in DSSC study, and $TiO_2$ is used most usually. Overall light conversion efficiency is changed by several elements such as $TiO_2$ particle size and structure, pore size and shape. In this study, we report the solar cell performance of titania$(TiO_2)$ film electrodes with various particle sizes. $TiO_2$ particle size was 16 nm, 25 nm, and mixture of 16nm and 25 nm, and manufactured using Doctor blade method. When applied each $TiO_2$ film to DSSC, the best efficiency was found at 16nm of $TiO_2$ particle. 16nm of $TiO_2$ particle has the highest efficiency compared to the others, because particles with smaller diameters would adsorb more dye due to larger surface area. And in case of the mixture of 16nm and 25 nm, the surface area was smaller than expected. It is estimated that double layer is adsorbed a large amount of chemisorbed dye and improved light scattering leading due to efficiency concentration light than mono layer.

  • The main purpose of this study is to investigate the collection efficiency characteristics of a cylindrical ESP. To do that, it is necessary to analyze the electric field, gas flow field, and mechanism of particle movement by numerical simulation based on EHD model. For a gas flow field, Navier-Stokes equation involving the electric source term was solved by SIMPLE algorithm. In case of the electric field, the current continuity and electric field equations were solved by S.O.R. method. The analysis of particle movement was performed on the basis of PSI-CELL model from the Lagrangian viewpoint. The results showed that the influence on the gas flow field by the electric field is almost negligible in a cylindrical ESP. The particle drift velocity $V_P$ toward the collection surface is increased continuously by the electrostatic force due to the rise of particle charge as the particle is moving to the flow direction and the particle size becomes larger. The collection efficiency is to quitely higher with the increase of applied voltage for the same particle size, while becomes smaller as the inlet velocity is increased.

  • 홍삼 분쇄의 신 가공 기술로서 비충격 분쇄방식인 cell cracker의 공장 적용 가능성을 제시하고 홍삼분말의 품질고급화에 기초자료로 활용하고자, 기존의 hammer mill(충격분쇄방식)과 cell cracker에 의한 분쇄방식으로 홍삼분말을 제조한 후 물성, 표면구조적 특성 및 관능적 특성을 측정하였다. 입도분석에서 sieve shaker로 분석한 결과, 100 mesh 이상은 모두 95%수준으로 비슷한 분포를 나타냈고 120 mesh 이상은 hammer mill로 분쇄한 홍삼분말이 높았으며 그 밖의 각 mesh별 입도분포는 큰 차이를 나타내지 않았다. Laser scattering analyzer로 분석한 결과 hammer mill로 분쇄한 홍분말의 입도분포는 최소 0.77$\mu\textrm{m}$에서 최대 128.07$\mu\textrm{m}$으로, cell cracker로 분쇄한 홍삼분말 4.24~180.07$\mu\textrm{m}$보다 분포가 넓었으며, 평균 입자 크기는 cell cracker로 분쇄한 홍삼분말이 크고 표준편차는 hammer mill로 분쇄한 홍삼분말이 크게 나타났다. 비표면적은 hammer mill로 분쇄한 홍삼분말이 1.42 $m^2$/g로 cell cracker로 분쇄한 홍삼분말 0.59 $m^2$/g보다 높게 나타났고, 표면구조적 특성은 hammer mill로 분쇄한 홍삼분말은 크고 작은 입자가 불균일하게 분포하고 있으며, 개별입자의 형태는 부등형의 거칠게 연마된 돌 모양에 가깝고 표면은 작고 부드러운 솜털모양을 하고 있는 반면에, cell cracker로 분쇄한 홍삼분말은 입자크기가 상대적으로 고르게 분포하고 있으며 개별입자의 형태는 부등형의 조각난돌 모양의 형태로 관찰되었다.

  • The feasibility of the particle-in-cell (PIC) method is assessed to simulate the non-collective phenomena like non-collective Thomson scattering (TS). The non-collective TS in the laser-plasma interaction, which is related to the single-particle behavior, is simulated through a 2D relativistic PIC code (XOOPIC). For this simulation, a non-collective TS is emitted from a 50-50 DT plasma with electron density and temperature of ne = 3.00 × 1013 cm-3 and Te = 1000 eV, typical for the edge plasma at ITER measured by ETS system, respectively. The wavelength, intensity, and FWHM of the laser applied in the ETS system are λi,0 = 1.064 × 10-4 cm, Ii = 2.24 × 1017 erg=s·㎠, and 12.00 ns, respectively. The electron density and temperature predicted by the PIC simulation, obtained from the TS scattered wave, are ne,TS = 2.91 × 1013 cm-3 and Te,TS = 1089 eV, respectively, which are in accordance with the input values of the simulated plasma. The obtained results indicate that the ambiguities rising due to the contradiction between the PIC statistical collective mechanism caused by the super-particle concept and the non-collective nature of TS are resolved. The ability and validity to use PIC method to study the non-collective regimes are verified.

  • Vacuum kinetic spray(VKS) is a relatively advanced process for fabricating thin/thick and dense ceramic coatings via submicron-sized particle impact at room temperature. However, unfortunately, the particle velocity, which is an important value for investigating the deposition mechanism, has not been clarified yet. Thus, in this research, VKS average particle velocities were derived by numerical analysis method(CFD: computational fluid dynamics) connected with an experimental approach(SCM: slit cell method). When the process gas or powder particles are accelerated by a compressive force generated by gas pressure in kinetic spraying, a tensile force generated by the vacuum in the VKS system accelerates the process gas. As a result, the gas is able to reach supersonic speed even though only 0.6MPa gas pressure is used in VKS. In addition, small size powders can be accelerated up to supersonic velocity by means of the drag-force of the low pressure process gas flow. Furthermore, in this process, the increase of gas flow makes the drag-force stronger and gas distribution more homogenized in the pipe, by which the total particle average velocity becomes higher and the difference between max. and min. particle velocity decreases. Consequently, the control of particle size and gas flow rate are important factors in making the velocity of particles high enough for successful deposition in the VKS system.

  • A hybrid particle-mesh method as the combination between the Vortex-In-Cell (VIC) method and penalization method has been achieved in recent years. The VIC method, which is based on the vorticity-velocity formulation, offers particle-mesh algorithms to numerically simulate flows past a solid body. The penalization method is used to enforce boundary conditions at a body surface with a decoupling between body boundaries and computational grids. The main advantage of the hybrid particle-mesh method is an efficient implementation for solid boundaries of arbitrary complexity on Cartesian grids. However, a numerical simulation of flows in large domains is still not too easy. In this study, a multi-domain approach is thus proposed to further reduce computation cost and easily implement it. We validate the implementation by numerical simulations of an incompressible viscous flow around an impulsively started circular cylinder.

  • 본 연구에서는 해석하려는 시스템의 유동 및 열전달 현상의 개념도를 Fig.1 에 나타내었다. 고체 입자는 윗부분 홈으로부터 분사되어, 선택적 투과면을 통해서 입사되는 복사열을 흡수 하며, 기체는 아래 또는 위의 홈 부분으로부터 들어와서 고체 입자와의 대류열전달로 가열이 된다. 기차게 아래 홈에서부터 분사되는 경우 대류에 의해 가열된 기체가 역성층화로 인해 부력을 받게 되어, 고체 입자의 하강 속도가 감 소할 때 입자의 체류 시간의 증가에 따른 복사열의 흡수효과에 대하여 고찰하였으며 입자의 크기, 투사 복사량, 분사속도, 입자의 질량유량 등을 파라미터로 하여 이들의 변화에 따른 영향을 규명하였다. 2-방연계를 고려한 2-방정식 모델을 구성하고 고체 입자에 대하여는 Lagrangian 방법으로 기술하였으며 수치해석에 있어 유한차분법을 도 입하고 두 상간의 상호연계는 PSI-Cell 방법을 이용하였고 복사 열유속은 2-유속 모델 (two-flux model)을 도입하여 계산하였다.

  • 본 논문은 대전입자형 디스플레이의 입자층과 상판과 하판의 전극간격(cell gap)으로 전압특성을 분석하여 에이징 전압 인가 전, 후의 응답속도를 측정하였다. 입자층이 증가할수록 비례하여 문턱/구동/항복 전압이 증가하였고 응답속도는 켈러입자와 검정입자의 q/m값의 차이로 문턱/항복 전압보다 구동전압에서의 응답속도가 빠른 것을 확인하였다. 응답속도는 레이저와 포토다이오드를 이용하여 광학특성으로 측정하였고 입자의 뭉침현상은 aging공정으로 최소화 하였다. 아직까지 대전입자형 디스플레이의 응답속도와 문턱/구동/항복 전압 및 입자주입층, cell gap, aging공정에 관하여 보고된 바 없으며 이에 상관관계를 평가하고 영향을 분석하였다.

  • Decalcomania is a new method for SOFCs (solid oxide fuel cells) unit cell fabrication. A tight and dense $5{\mu}m$ Yttria-stabilized zirconia (8YSZ) electrolyte layer on anode substrate was fabricated by the decalcomania method. After 8YSZ as the electrolyte starting material was calcined at $1200^{\circ}C$, the particle size was controlled by the attrition mill. The median particle size (D50) of each 8YSZ was $39.6{\mu}m$, $9.30{\mu}m$, $6.35{\mu}m$, and $3.16{\mu}m$, respectively. The anode substrate was coated with decalcomania papers which were made by using 8YSZ with different median particle sizes. In order to investigate the effect of median particle sizes and sintering conditions on the electrolyte density, each sample was sintered for 2, 5 and 10 h, respectively. 8YSZ with a median particle size of $3.16{\mu}m$ which was sintered at $1400^{\circ}C$ for 10 had the highest density. With this 8YSZ, a SOFCs unit cell was manufactured with a $5{\mu}m$ layer by the decalcomania method. Then the unit cell was run at $800^{\circ}C$. The Open Circuit Voltage (OCV) and Maximum power density (MPD) was 1.12 V and $650mW/cm^2$, respectively.

  • A two-dimensional particle-in-cell(PIC) simulation with a Monte-Carlo Collision(MCC) has been developed to investigate the discharge characteristics of the acceleration channel of a HET. The dynamics of electrons and ions are treated with PIC method at the time scale of electrons in order to investigate the particle transport. The densities of charged particles are coupled with Poisson's equation. Xenon neutrals are injected from the anode and experience elastic, excitation, and ionization collisions with electrons, and are scattered by ions. These collisions are simulated by using an MCC model. The effects of control parameters such as magnetic field profile, electron current density, and the applied voltage have been investigated. The secondary electron emission on the dielectric surface is also considered.
