The relationship between hydrologic processes and scale is one of the more complex issues in surface water hydrology. Disturbances that change vegetation and/or soil properties have been known to subsequently alter the landscape. The primary objective of this study was to estimate the grain size of soils with different properties from the hydraulic conductivity using pedotransfer functions. The double ring infiltrometer method was used to measure the vertical hydraulic conductivity of three soils under different soil planar surface treatments. Seven selected pedotransfer functions were used to estimate percentile diameters and the reduction in infiltration caused by compaction was misconstrued as caused by changes in percentile diameter. Results showed that compaction on the sandy loamy foot paths reduced the hydraulic conductivity by about 50%. The study showed that perceptual models of infiltration processes and appreciation of scale problems in modeling are far more sophisticated than normally presented in texts. Hydraulic measurement methods are still relevant and will provide significant information of grain size of the soils.

Although various conjectures have been proposed to explain abnormal increase in thermal conductivity of nanofluids, the detailed mechanism could not be understood and explained yet. The main reason is primarily due to the lack of knowledge on the most fundamental factor governing the mechanisms such as Brownian motion, liquid layering, phonon transport, surface chemical effects and agglomeration. By applying surface complexation model for the measurement data of hydrodynamic size, zeta potential, and thermal conductivity, we have shown that sulfate charge state is mainly responsible for the increase in the present condition and may be the factor incorporating all the mechanisms as well. Moreover, we propose a new model including concepts of fractal and interfacial layer. The properties such as thickness and thermal conductivity of the layer are estimated from the surface charge states and the concept of electrical double layer. With this, we could demonstrate the pH dependences of the layer properties and eventually of the effective thermal conductivity of the nanofluid.

A study has been made of surface modification of various organic materials by ion implantation to increase the surface electrical properties. The substrate used were PP(polypropylene), PET(polyethylene teraphthalate), ECOP(ethylene copolyester), PS(polystyrene). N$_2$, Ar ion implantation was performed at energies of 40 and 50keV with fluences from 5${\times}$ 10$\^$15/ to 7${\times}$10$\^$16/ ions/$\textrm{cm}^2$ with and without H$_2$O gas environment. Surface resistance decrease of implanted polymers was affected by ion implantation energy, ion species, atmosphere of chamber and kind of polymer. In result, surface conductivity of polymers irradiated with atmosphere gas H$_2$O was 10 times more higher than normal vacuum atmosphere, but after 90 hours, surface conductivity returned to the without H$_2$O gas atmosphere condition caused by aging effect. After vacuum forming, surface resistance value was changed to over 10$\^$16/$\Omega$/$\square$, because creation of surface cracks.

When an aqueous liquid such as water having high electric conductivity and high surface tension is discharged from a nozzle under a strong DC electric field, fine drops ranging from 30 to 450 microns can be obtained only through the spindle mode. In the present study, effects of the electric conductivity and the surface wettability of nozzle materials on formation of drops with this mode were investigated. For that, three nozzles with the same size but with different materials were prepared and tested; a stainless steel needle, and a plain and a metal (gold)-coated (except for the tip portion) silica needles. Uniform drops were obtained with the gold-coated silica nozzle over the wider range of the DC voltage input. That is, formation of the liquid cone and detachment of the liquid spindle (ligament) can be more stabilized and frequent with the needles having high electric conductivity but with low surface wettability at their tips.

In this study, weight loss, ESDD, surface conductivity and leakage current were measured at the different saline solutions by salt fog method. The magnitude of leakage current was higher at higher conductivity of 2 S/m saline water, but weight loss ESDD and surface conductivity which are indices of degradation were lower. This is considered that the current includes mainly ohmic component which doesn\`t contribute to surface degradation. In addition, it is shown that FFT could be useful in measuring initial transition from hydrophobic to hydrophilic surface.

This paper was to evaluate the influence of kiln process parameter(kiln angle, kiln rotating speed) of lightweight aggregate using waste glass and bottom ash with industrial by-products on thermal conductivity, density, water absorption, fracture load and porosity by response surface analysis. In the results of surface plot and contour plot, it has verified that kiln residence time of lightweight aggregate increase as kiln angle and rotating speed decreases. For this reason, pore size and quantity tend to increase by active reaction of forming agent. It seems to be that increase in pore size and quantity have caused decreasing density, fracture load and thermal conductivity, and increasing water absorption. In conclusion, optimization of kiln process parameter on thermal conductivity, density, water absorption, fracture load and porosity by response surface analysis are kiln angle 2.4646%, kiln rotating speed 40.7089 rpm.

We attempted to fabricate polyurethane derivatives (PU-CN, PU-DCM) LB films by using LB method. Also, we investigated the monolayer behavior at the air-water interface by surface pressure-area ($\pi$-A) isotherms. And, the surface morphologies and the physicochemical properties of LB films were investigated by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and UV-vis spectroscopy, respectively. Also, the electrical properties of polyurethane derivatives LB films were investigated by using the conductivity and the dielectric constant. In the AFM images, we conclude that surface morphology of PU-DCM LB films is smooth and homogeneous and has optimal hydrophobicity and good stability, whereas PU-CN LB films give rougher surfaces with more excess material. In the I-V characteristics, the conductivity is different as to the polyurethane derivatives, it is considered that this phenomena could be described by the difference of lumophore pendant which was adhered at PU main chain.

Thermoelectric materials can convert directly waste heat to electricity and vice versa. The improvement of the thermoelectric efficiency strongly depends on the dimensionless figure of merit, $ZT=S^2{\sigma}T/{\kappa}$, where S is the Seebeck coefficient, ${\sigma}$ is the electrical conductivity, T is the absolute temperature, and ${\kappa}$ is the thermal conductivity. The thermal conductivity consists of the electronic contribution (${\kappa}_e$) and phonon contribution (${\kappa}_{ph}$). It is very challenge to increase the power factor, $S^2{\sigma}$ and to reduce the thermal conductivity simultaneously because the power factor and electronic thermal conductivity are coupled. One strategy is to decrease the phonon thermal conductivity. The phonon thermal conductivity can be decreased by controlling the grain size and structural defects such as dislocations and twinning. In order to achieve enhancements in thermoelectric efficiency, microstructures that can form numerous interfaces have been investigated intensively for controlling the transport of charge carriers and heat carrying phonons. In this presentation, we report the heterogeneous microstructure of $Mg_2Si_{0.6}Sn_{0.4}$ thermoelectric materials and investigation of its influence on thermoelectric properties.

다중벽탄소나노튜브를 표면처리하여 polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) 기재에 첨가하여 제조한 고분자 복합재료에서 탄소나노튜브의 표면처리가 계면 및 열전도도에 미치는 효과를 고찰하였다. Coagulation 방법과 atomic transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) 방법을 사용하여 탄소나노튜브를 표면 처리 하여 사용하였으며, ATRP 방법을 적용하여 제조한 복합재료는 coagulation 방법을 사용하여 제조한 복합재료보다 높은 열전도도와 투과도를 가졌다. 순수 PMMA의 열전도도가 0.21 W/mK인데 비하여 ATRP 방법으로 처리한 1 wt%의 탄소나노튜브를 첨가하였을 경우 0.38 W/mK로 열전도도가 향상되었다. 탄소나노튜브와 PMMA기재의 계면을 주사전자현미경을 이용하여 관찰한 결과 탄소나노튜브의 표면처리에 의해 기재 내에 분산이 향상되고 고분자기재-탄소나노튜브 계면에서의 접촉이 용이해져 포논산란이 감소되어 광 투과성을 가지면서 열전도도가 향상된 것으로 보인다.
