Dual-channel nano-electrospray has recently become an ionization technique of great promise especially in biological mass spectrometry. This unique approach takes advantage of the mixing processes that occurs during electrospray. Understanding in more detail the fundamental principles influencing spray formation further study of the origins of the mixing processes: (1) in a Taylor cone region, (2) in charged droplets or (3) in both environments. The dual-channel emitters were made from borosilicate theta-shape glass tubes (O.D. 1.2 mm) and had a tip diameters of less than 4 μm. Electrical contact was achived by deposition of a thin film of an appropriate metal onto the surface of the emitter. The experimental investigation of the Taylor cone formation in a dual-channel electrospray emitter has been carried out by injection of polystyrene beads (diameter 3 μm) at very low concentrations into one of the channels of the non-tapered theta-glass tubes. High-speed camera experiments were set up to visualize the mixing processes in Taylor cone regions for dual-channel emitters. Mass spectra from dual nano-electrospray are presented.

A silent type ozone generator using water surface has been studied and improved its ozone generation characteristics by the controlling the height of Taylor cone by installing a mesh electrode, a dielectric bed of glass beads in the just under th surface of the water. The current-voltage characteristics and characteristics of ozone generation quantity of the test system were investigated and discharge current oscillograms of the each cases of the mesh electrode and the beds were observed and compared each other to analyze the discharge conditions. The Taylor cone height could be the cause of the discharge bridge to decrease the ozone generation on the discharge spacing. In this study, the hight of Taylor cone could be reduced greatly by installing the mesh and the glass beads bed just under the water surface. Therefore a higher ozone generation also could be obtained.

Electrostatic spray deposition is an innovative coating technique that produces fine, uniform, self-dispersive (due to the Coulombic repulsion), and highly wettable, atomized drops. Copper-indium salts are dissolved in an alcohol-based solvent, which is then electrostatically sprayed onto a moderately heated, molybdenum-coated substrate. Solvent flowrates range from 0.02 to 5 ml/hr under applied voltages of 1 to 20 kV yielding drop sizes around a few hundred nanometers. By comparing the scanning electron miscrscope images of coated samples, the substrate temperature, applied voltage, solvent flowrate, and nozzle-substrate distance are demonstrated to be the primary parameters controlling coating quality. Also, the most stable electrostatic spray mode that reliably produces uniform and fine drops is the cone-jet mode with a Taylor cone issuing from the nozzle.

The surface structure of the electrospun polymer fibers depends on the polymer concentration, the type of solvent used, applied voltage and so on. To make a desired surface, it is important to understand the effects of the physicochemical properties to form a stable Taylor cone and jet dispensation. We observed the formation of Taylor cone and a consequent structure of fiber by controlling the parameters of applied voltage, solution concentration, solvent and collector effectively. Once the surfaces were fabricated, the structures were analyzed using optical imaging technologies. As the solution concentration was increased, the smooth fibers were formed. In addition, different solvent ratios determined the viscosity and the surface tension of solutions. As a result, with decreased viscosity and increased surface tension, thin fibers were obtained by electrospinning. Furthermore the aligned nanofiber was successfully created by using drum collector.

수표면을 전극으로 사용한 부성방전형 오존발생기를 제안하고 수표면의 바로 아래에 유전체구를 설치함으로써 오존발생특성을 향상시킬 수 있었다. 이때, 서로 다른 유전율을 갖는 유전체구를 사용하여 수표면에 형성되는 방전조건을 변화시키고자 하였다. 전류-전압특성과 오존발생특성을 조사하였고 방전현상을 관찰하기 위해 유리구슬 유전체를 사용한 경우의 방전모양을 사진 촬영하여 분석하였다. 수표면에 발생되는 수돌기의 크기는 교락현상(breakdown)의 원인이 될 수 있고 따라서 오존발생량을 감소시킨다. 본 연구에서는 수표면 바로 아래에 서로 다른 유전율을 갖는 유전체구를 투입함으로써 과도한 크기의 수돌기(Tayler cone)의 놀이를 제한할 수 있었다. 이에 따라, 유전체구를 사용하지 않은 경우보다 많은 양의 오존을 발생시킬 수 있었다. 수중에 투입되는 유전체의 유전율이 증가함에 따라 방전이 시작되는 전압을 앞당길 수 있었고 강유전체구를 사용한 경우 최대 110[ppmv]의 오존발생량을 얻을 수 있었다.

This paper is investigated about the effect of vibration of the water surface for hydrogen gas generation by non-thermal plasma. The vibration of the water surface is more powerful with increasing applied voltage. In this experimental reactor which is made of multi-needle and plate, the maximum acquired hydrogen production rate is about 6.8[ml/sec]. Although the generation of hydrogen gas is increased with elevating time, it is saturated after specific time due to the volume of reactor and the saturation of taylor cone.

Viscoelastic instabilities are of fundamental importance to understanding the physics of complex fluids and of practical importance to materials processing and fluid characterization. Significant progress has been made over the past 15 years in understanding instabilities in viscoelastic flows with curved streamlines and is reviewed here. Taylor-Couette flow, torsional flow between a cone and plate, and torsional flow between parallel plates have received special attention due to both the basic significance of these flows and their critical role in rheometry. First, we review the criteria for determining when these flows become unstable due to elasticity in the absence of inertia, and discuss the generalization of these criteria to more complex flows with curved streamlines. Then, focusing on experiments and simulations in the Taylor-Couette problem, we review how thermal sensitivity (i.e., the dependence of fluid viscosity and elasticity on temperature) and inertia affect the stability of viscoelastic flows. Finally, we conclude with some general thoughts on unresolved issues and remaining challenges related to viscoelastic instabilities.

The mode change from Taylor cone-jet to dripping in electrospraying has been analytically investigated. The change has been predicted by the dynamic behavior of a liquid drop at the tip of the cone-jet. Conservation laws are applied to determine the upward motion of the drop, and an instability model of electrified jets is used to determine the jet breakup. Finally, for the first time, the analysis enables prediction of the transition in terms of the Weber number and electric Bond number. The predictions are in good agreement with experimental data.

최근 전기방사를 이용한 프린팅이 미세 패터닝 분야에 응용이 되고 있다. 전기방사를 이용한 패터닝은 연속 프린팅 방식으로 기존의 요구적출형 방식에 비해 패터닝 속도가 빠르다는 장점이 있다. 안정적인 연속 프린팅을 위해서는 고분자의 폴리머를 프린팅하려고 하는 잉크에 혼합하는 것이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 PEO 를 이러한 첨가 폴리머로 사용하였다. 이러한 폴리머의 첨가에 대한 잉크의 점도 및 Taylor cone 형성에 대해 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 마지막으로 전기방사 프린팅의 예로서 실버 페이스트 잉크를 유리 기판 위에 패터닝하였다.

Generation characteristics of electrospray droplets for highly viscous liquid have been investigated by measuring size distributions of droplets emitted from the Taylor cone using glycerol solutions with various conductivities. Because of very small volatility of glycerol, droplet sizes can be measured by an aerodynamic size spectrometer (TSI Aerosizer DSP) with negligible evaporation of droplets. For highly conducting and viscous liquid, the sizes of the droplets electrosprayed from the Taylor cone are found to be relatively insensitive to applied voltages and the electrosprays assisted by the corona discharge call produce monodisperse droplets as long as the corona intensity is not too high. Near the minimum flow rate where a liquid cone is stable, the spray tends to consist of a one -peak monodisperse distribution of drop lets. However, at high flow rates, the spray bifurcates into bimodal distributions, which are consistent with the result of the previous study for less viscous liquids than our liquids. For liquid flow rates (Q) below 1 nl/s, the measured droplet diameters by the aerosizer are in the range of 0.30 to 1.2 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ for the glycerol solutions. The diameters of monodisperse droplets scale approximately with $r^*=Q_$\tau$(Q$\tau$){^1/3}$ where $r^*$ is a characteristic length and $\tau$is the electrical relaxation time of the fluid. However, when compared with several represe ntative scaling laws, the droplet diameters are two to six factors greater than those predicted by the scaling laws. This may be closely related to the combined effect of the much higher viscosity and the electrical charge on the jet breakup of glycerol so solution.
