Ethanol has properties of a lower setting point, higher oxygen contents, lower cetane numbers, and also higher volatility compared to biodiesel. Thus, biodiesel fuel can be improved in the fluidity of and exhaust emissions by blended ethanol fuel. This research aims to understand combustion characteristics of biodiesel-ethanol blending fuel inside a constant volume chamber by obtaining some fundamental data in order to improve combustion atmosphere. To understand the physics of combustion, high speed camera was applied to visualize the development of combustion processes, and combustion pressure and exhaust emission were measured at several blending ratios of ethanol and biodiesel fuel. This information may contribute to improve the performance of biodiesel engine and reduce emissions in future.

Overlays is a treatment of the surface and near-surface regions of a material to allow the surface to perform functions that are distinct from those frictions demanded far the bulk of the material. Welding, thermal spray, quenching, carburizing and nitration have been used as the surface treatment. Especially, weld overlay is a relatively thick layer of filler metal applied to a carbon or low-alloy steel base metal for the purpose of providing a wear resistant surface. In this study, weld overlay was performed by MAG welding on the base metal(SS400) with filler metal which contain composite powders($Cr_3C_2+Mn+Mo+NbC$) and solid wire(JIS-YGW11). Characteristics of hardness and wear resistance on overlays were analyzed by EDS, EPMA, XRD and microstructures. Carbide formations were $M(Cr, Fe)_7C_3$ and NbC phases. And carbide volume fraction, hardness and specific wear resistance of overlays were increased with increasing powder feed rate and decreasing wire fred rate. Hardness and wear resistance were almost proportioned to carbide volume fraction of overlay.

This study investigates experimentally evaporation characteristics of nanofluid droplets containing 50 nm alumina($Al_2O_3$) particles and the wettability changes on a hydrophilic glass surfaces. From the captured digital images by using a CMOS camera and a magnifying lens, we examined the effect of particle concentration on droplet evaporation rate which can be indirectly deduced from the measured droplet volumes varying with time. In particular, with the use of a digital image analysis technique, the present study measured droplet perimeters and the contact angles to study the wetting dynamics during evaporating process. In addition, we compared the measured total evaporation time with theoretically estimated values. It was found that as the volume fractions of nanofluid increased, the total evaporation time and the initial contact angles decreased, while the droplet perimeters increased.

Flow uniformity in aftertreatment system is an important factor in determining uniform catalytic reaction and filtration. In this study, variety types of DOC-DPF system design were analyzed to increase flow uniformity. For this analysis, ANSYS Fluent was used with porous media setup for DOC and DPF. Turbulent flow was modeled by standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ model excepting porous media. Uniformity index was utilized to evaluate the flow uniformity quantitatively. Reference design showed low velocity region because two large vortex were generated before baffle. When radius of DOC-DPF system was increased, exhaust pressure acting on the inlet decreases and velocity distribution was shifted to one side. When inlet pipe was set to axial center of DOC-DPF system velocity distribution was symmetric. However, flow was not dissipated until the front end of DOC and showed higher uniformity index. When the volume of DOC was reduced while fixed volume of entire DOC-DPF system and baffle plate is located downstream of the DOC-DPF system, there was improvement in uniformity index.

The objective of this is to experimentally investigate the effect of mixed jet on the oxygen transfer characteristics with the primary nozzle area ratio of an annular nozzle ejector for the application of a microbial fuel cell. A direct visualization method with a high speed camera system was used to capture the horizontal mixed jet images, and a binarization technique was used to analyze the images. The clean water unsteady state technique was used for the oxygen transfer measurement. The air-water mixed jet discharging into a water tank behaved similar to a buoyancy or horizontal jet with the primary nozzle area ratio. It was found that an optimum primary nozzle area ratio was observed where the oxygen transfer performance reached its maximum value due to the decrease of air volume fraction and the increase of jet length and air bubble dispersion.

Adjuvant 첨가에 의한 농약살포액의 이화학적 특성 및 약효증진 효과를 구명하기 위하여 시험한 결과, 농약살포액의 분무입경은 adjuvant의 첨가로 다소 작아지는 경향을 보였으며, 그 효과는 약제 및 보조제의 종류에 따라 상이하였다. 또한 보조제 첨가에 의한 농약의 작물체 부착량은 일정한 경향없이 살포 방법 및 살포량에 따라 상반된 효과를 나타냈다. Adjuvant에 의한 tricyclazole WP와 fenobucarb EC 희석액의 살포 6시간 후 강우처리시 내강우성은 벼의 부위에 따라 $1.5{\sim}4.1$배의 높은 증진효과를 보였다. 또한 보조제 첨가에 의한 Propanil EC의 피 방제효과는 무첨가에 비해 $8{\sim}30%$의 약효 증진 효과를 보여 적절한 보조제를 혼용함으로써 농약의 살포회수 및 사용량을 줄일 수 있는 가능성을 보였다.

시험용기가 1.7㎥가 되는 소규모 나트륨화재 실험 시설을 건설하여 나트륨 관련시설에서 발생가능한 풀형화재, 분무형화재, 그리고 원주형화재와 같은 나트륨화재 실험을 실시하였다. 그 결과 풀형화재는 나트륨 주입량에 비하여 온도 및 압력 증가치가 분무형화재와 원주형화재보다 훨씬 작지만 상당기간 나트륨풀과 용기안의 온도를 높게 유지시키며 나트륨 주입량이 많을 경우 용기내의 산소를 거의 소모시켜 용기안의 산소농도를 0mol%에 근접시키고 진공 상태까지 이르게 하였다. 분무형화재는 분산된 작은 나트륨이 순간적으로 산소와 반응하여 급격히 용기내의 온도와 압력을 증가시키며 곧 감소하였다. 분무형 화재의 최고 도달온도와 압력은 초기 산소농도 그리고 나트륨 주입온도에 따라 크게 다름을 보여 주었다. 원주형화재는 분무형화재와 거의 유사하지만 좀 더 많은 양의 나트륨을 시험용기내에 주입시켜도 최고 도달 온도와 압력이 분무형보다 작았다. 그리고 분무형화재와 원주형화재에서는 풀형화재에 비하여 순간적으로 분산된 나트륨이 산화하여 용기내의 측정위치에 따라 온도분포가 크게 다름을 보여주었다. 끝으로, 풀형화재 소화실험에서는 소화제 graphex가 효과적으로 나트륨 화재를 진화시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다.

This paper describes the effect of ultrasonic frequency(f) on the atomization and deformation characteristics of single water droplet in an acoustic levitation field. To achieve this, the ultrasonic levitator that can control sound pressure and velocity amplitude by changing frequency was installed, and visualization of single water droplet was conducted with high resolution ICCD and CCD camera. At the same time, atomization and deformation characteristics of single water droplet was studied in terms of normalized droplet diameter($d/d_0$), droplet diameter(d) variation and droplet volume(V) variation under different ultrasonic frequency(f) conditions. It was revealed that increase of ultrasonic frequency reduces the droplet diameter. Therefore, it is able to levitate with low sound pressure level. It also induces the wide oscillation range, large diameter and volume variation of water droplet. In conclusion, the increase of ultrasonic frequency(f) can enhance the atomization performance of single water droplet.

The present study has numerically analyzed the vaporization characteristics of fuel droplets in the high temperature convective flow field. The axisymmetric governing equations for mass, momentum, energy, and species are solved by an iterative and implicite unstructured finite-volume method. The moving boundary due to vaporization is handled by the deformable unstructured grid technique. The pressure-velocity coupling in the density-variable flows is treated by the SIMPLEC algorithm. In terms of the matrix solver, Bi-CGSTAB is employed for the numerically efficient and stable convergence. The n-decane is used as a liquid fuel and the initial droplet temperature is 300K. Computations are performed for the nonevaporating and evaporating droplets with the relative interphase velocity(25m/s). The unsteady vaporization process has been simulated up to the nondimensional time, 25. Numerical results indicate that the mathematical model developed in this study succesfully simulates the main features of the droplet vaporization process in the convective environment.

In this study, friction and wear properties of flame sprayed specimens and hard Cr plating specimens were tested, and their properties were compared each other in dry and lubrication condition. Ni-Cr powder and steel powder were used as the spray powder and sprayed on the steel(S45C) substrate by flame sprayed method. Each wear surface was observed with SEM after friction and wear test. The friction coefficient of the as-forged steel specimens was the highest among surface treatment specimens, and the other specimens appeared in order as follows ; hard Cr-plating specimens, Ni-Cr powder sprayed specimens, steel powder sprayed specimens. Comparing the wear volumes in dry condition, as forged steel specimens appeared the greatest wear volume, and the other specimens appeared wear volume in order as follows ; Ni-Cr powder sprayed specimens, steel powder sprayed specimens, hard Cr plating specimens. In friction and wear test, the hard Cr plating specimens were worn by the abrasive phenomenon, involving the cracks. The wear volume of steel powder sprayed specimens was lower than that of Ni-Cr powder sprayed specimens. Comparing the tensile strength of both sprayed coating layers, the steel powder sprayed coating layer was better than Ni-Cr powder sprayed coating layer.
