Reduced pressure evaporation applies the principle of lowering water's boiling point by reducing the pressure. It uses the relation between temperature and pressure to reduce energy consumption needed for elevating temperature. As the result, the highest evaporation was observed at $80^{\circ}C$ and -40 cmHg applying saturated vapor pressure depending on different seawater temperature. It was found that the higher concentration in the factor test experiment depending on seawater concentration induced the higher evaporation. Also, in the factor test experiment, the amount of evaporation increased as the pressure decreased. It is concluded that the most important factor of evaporation was concentration, the second important factor was temperature, and the least important factor was pressure. Through this experiment, optimized conditions of desalination with reduced pressure evaporation device were verified.

In numerical analysis on evaluating the thermal performance of the thermal equipment, numerical values of thermodynamic properties such as temperature, pressure, specific volume, enthalpy and entropy are required. But the steam table itself cannot be used without modelling. In this study applicability of neural networks in modelling the wide temperature range of wet saturated vapor region was examined. the multi-layer neural network consists of a input layer with 1 node, two hidden layers with 10 and 20 nodes respectively and a output layer with 6 nodes. Quadratic and cubic spline interpoations methods were also applied for comparison. Neural network model revealed similar percentage error to spline interpolation. From these results, it is confirmed that the neural networks could be powerful method in modelling the wide range of the steam table.

This study developed the black liquor evaporation process models using the multiple-effect-evaporator according to the number of effects to predict steam consumption. The developed models were divided into the black liquor preheating and evaporation processes, and a virtual reboiler was added to predict steam consumption. In simulation results, the steam consumption in the double-effect-evaporator was decreased by 48.9 %, and as the number of effects increased, the steam consumption was decreased. Finally, the steam consumption in the octuple-effect-evaporator was decreased by 61.2 %. Also, this study suggests a strategy for deriving the optimal number of effects in the process by analyzing the latent heat recovered from the saturated vapor produced in the multiple-effect-evaporator and the amount of saturated vapor produced by each effect.

It is observed that the cooling capacity of impinging water jet is affected by the seasonal conditions in steel manufacturing process with large scale. To confirm this phenomena, the cooling experiments of a hot steel plate by a laminar jet were conducted for two different initial ambient air temperature($10^{\circ}C$ and $40^{\circ}C$) in a closed chamber, and an inverse heat conduction method is applied for the quantitative comparison. It is found that the cooling capacity under $10^{\circ}C$ air temperature is lower than that under $40^{\circ}C$, as is the saturated water vapor is more easily observed, and the amount of total extracted heat in the case of $10^{\circ}C$ is smaller by nearly 15% than that of $40^{\circ}C$ case. From these results, it is thought that the quantity of water vapor, which could be absorbed until saturation, effects on the mechanism of boiling heat transfer.

CaO ceramics were prepared by conventional sintering process and their hydration behaviors were evaluated by measuring weight increment on saturated water vapor pressure at ambient temperature. CaCO$_3$ and limestone were used as CaO source materials and $Al_2$O$_3$, MgO and SiO$_2$ were added as sintering agents. $Al_2$O$_3$ was a liquid phase sintering agent to increase densification and grain growth rates, whereas MgO and SiO$_2$, densification and grain growth inhibitors. Regardless of composition, all of the prepared CaO ceramics showed the improved hydration resistance as bulk density increased. Especially, when bulk density was more than 3.0 g/㎤, there was no weight increment after 120 h of hydration. Therefore, to decrease contact area between CaO and water vapor by increasing bulk density with the $Al_2$O$_3$ sintering additive was effective for the improvement of CaO hydration resistance.

The growth characteristics of metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) $Pb(Zr_xTi_{1-x})O_3 (PZT) thin films were investigated for the application of high-density ferroelectric random access memories (FRAM) devices beyond 64Mbit density. The supply control of Pb precursor plays the most critical role in order to achieve a reliable process for PZT thin film deposition. We have monitored the changes in the microstructure and electrical properties of films on increasing the Pb precursor supply into the reaction chamber. Under optimized conditions, $Ir/IrO_2/PZT(100nm)/Ir capacitor shows well-saturated hysteresis loops with a remanent polarization (Pr) of $~28{\mu}C/textrm{cm}^2$ and coercive voltage of 0.8V at 2.5V. Other issues such as step coverage, compositional uniformity and low temperature deposition was discussed in viewpoint of actual device application.

본 연구에서 액체금속로의 노심용융(core meltdown)으로 인한 초 즉발 임계(super-prompt critical)의 출력 폭주 사고시, 노심의 반응도 및 열수력 특성 변화와 에너지 방출량등을 계산하기 위하여, Bethe-Tait 방버론을 수정, 보완한 분석 모델이 개발되었다. 주요 보완 내용으로서는, 금속 연료 노심의 단상 액체 영역에서의 선형의(Linear) threshold 형태의 상태 방정식뿐만 아니라 포화 증기(saturated fuel vapor) 영역에서의 상태 방정식이 개발되었고, 이에 따른 노심 붕괴 반응도(disassembly reactivity)의 분석 모델이 개발되었다. 또한 도플러 반응도 효과를 고려하기 위한 분석모델도 아울러 개발되었다. 상기 보완 모델을 실행할 수 있는 수치 해석 프로그램이 개발되었고, 이를 활용하여 KALIMER에서 HCDA가 발생하였을 경우 노심에서의 에너지 방출량 계산이 수행되었다. 분석결과 도플러 효과와 포화 증기 영역에서의 압력 증가 및 노심팽창의 중요성이 확인되었다. 도플러 효과가 고려되지 않을 경우 HCDA는 분석된 모든 반응도 삽입률에 대하여 폭발적인 에너지 방출과 함께 사고가 종결되는 것으로 평가되었다. 그러나 도플러 상수가 최적 평가치인 -0.002인 경우 50$/s이하의 반응도 삽입률에서는 노심은 비등점(0.8KJ/g)에 도달치 않았으며, 설계 기준 사고인 100$/s의 경우에도 노심은 포화 증기 영역에 머물고 압력이 급격히 증가하는 단상(single phase)액체 영역의 threshold 값에 미치지 않기 때문에 사고는 핵연료 증기(vapor)의 점진적인 분산과 함께 종결되는 것으로 분석되며, 총 에너지 발생량은 약 1,800MJ로서 기계적 손상 에너지로 전환되는 분율을 고려할 때 KALIMER 원자로 용기의 구조 설계 기준치에 비해 상당한 여유도를 갖는 것으로 평가되었다.

GaN films were grown for various Mg doping concentrations in metal-organic chemical vapor deposition. Below the Mg concentration of 10$^{19}$ ㎤, the thermally annealed sample shows the compensated phase to n-type GaN in Hall measurement. In the MB concentration of 4$\times$10$^{19}$ ㎤ corresponding to the hole carrier concentration of 2.6$\times$1$^{19}$ ㎤ there exists a photoluminescence center of the donor and the acceptor pair transition of the 3.28-eV band. This center is correlated with the defects for a shallow donor of the $V_{Ga}$ and for an acceptor of $Mg_{Ga}$ . The acceptor level shows the binding energy of 0.2-0.25 eV, which was observed by the photon energy of the photocurrent signal of 3.02-3.31 eV. Above the Mg concentration of 4$\times$10$^{19}$ ㎤, both the Mg doping level and Mg concentration were saturated and there Is a photoluminescence center of a deep donor and an acceptor pair transition of the 2.76-eV blue band.

In this paper, it was demonstrated that organic thin- film transistors (OTFTs) were fabricated with the organic adhesion layer between an organic semiconductor and a gate insulator by vapor deposition polymerization (VDP) processing. In order to form polymeric film as an adhesion layer, VDP process was also introduced instead of spin-coating process, where polymeric film was co-deposited by high-vacuum thermal evaporation from 6FDA and ODA followed by curing. The saturated slop in the saturation region and the subthreshold nonlinearity in the triode region were c1early observed in the electrical output characteristics in our organic thin film transistors using the staggered-inverted top-contact structure. Field effect mobility, threshold voltage, and on-off current ratio in 15-nm-thick organic adhesion layer were about $0.5\;cm^2/Vs$, -1 V, and $10^6$, respectively. We also demonstrated that threshold voltage depends strongly on the delay time when a gate voltage has been applied to bias stress.
