This paper was studied on the cavitation instability of a Solution Pump Inducer in an absorption chiller-heater. Inlet pressure of LiBr and rotational speed at nominal mode are 2,800 Pa and 3,500 rpm respectively. Due to the marginal operation of available NPSH, the cavitation performance of the inducer is critical for the stable operation without the deterioration of head performance. In the study, cavitation performance and its mode of instability was investigated experimentally. Water was used as the working fluid and the test inducer was scaled up as 1.75 times for detail measurements and flow visualization. Inlet pressure was controlled by a vacuum pump. This research focused on types of cavitation instability and phenomena to investigate the possibility of harmful damage due to cavitation instability. Casing wall pressure and instantaneous inlet pressure was measured to observe the unsteady flow characteristics. Through the visualization and spectrum analysis of pressure, the occurrence region and intensity of asymmetric cavitation and cavitation surge are analyzed in the test inducer.

Recently, the automotive industry is being developed rapidly. On this, a demand of high quality performance­test­machine is increased too. But it is progressive technology that must be combined hydraulic, mechanic and electronic technologies. To construct this system, the design of oil hydraulic circuit, interface skill between sensor and personal computer, data acquisition & display system and integrated control are very important skill. Moreover, reliable data is obtained with vacuum system and complex heat exchange system. Therefore, in this study, we designed a performance­test­machine by using above key technologies and we also made a integrated PC control system using personal computer which is more progressive and flexible method than PLC control.

Fine multi-hole sheet metal product(FMSMP) is a specific metal plate which is used in color TV and computer monitor. Processes of manufacturing FMSMP are generally composed of coating cleaning exposure and etching processes. After a thin metal plate is made by rolling photosensitive liquid is coated on the metal plate in coating process. Then the coated thin metal plate consecutively passes through exposure process in which upper and lower glasses are compressed by vacuuming the space between glasses and metal plate. In this lowered glasses are compressed by vacuuming the space between glasses and metal plate. In this lowered vacuum state certain part of metal plate is desirably exposed to light and will be etched into forming lots of well-arranged holes with a specific diameter, nowadays to manufacture FMSMP of 17 inch braun tube 80 second is required for complete vacuum but 35 second is applied to manufacture FMSMP in reality. In the present study vacuuming time is tried to reduce for improvement of productivity by analyzing vacuum system and proposing several solutions, for faster vacuuming speed degree of vacuum state between glasses and metal plate is improved by the proposed method and experiments using the proposed method are performed for verification. In addition microstructure of FMSMP is investigated to prevent stain phenomena and to improve quality of the product.

Objectives : Cupping therapy is a stimulation therapy similar to acupuncture and moxibustion with effects that differ depending on the degree of stimulus. To make the strength of the skin objective in cupping therapy for this study, we measured negative pressure in the cupping jar and calculated the expansion rate of the skin. Subjects and Methods : In this study, we experimented with cupping therapy jars made for sale and used in clinics. We studied the pressure in the jars and the changes on the skin surface by measuring properties. We used commercial jars of four different volumes and diameters and tried to discover the properties on the size of the jar. Results : The results of experiment with the cupping therapy are as follows: 1. The lowest pressure in a jar was measured at $-600{\sim}610mmHg$, and the number of operating of vacuum pump for reaching lowest pressure was increased recording where the volume of the jar would be big, but the lowest pressure was not increased recording where the size of that would be big. 2. As the vacuum pump continued to operate, the pressure gradient in the jar got smaller which shows that the expansion rate of the skin was not linear. The pressure gradient shows different operational numbers on the vacuum pump near 0mmHg/operation unrelated to jar volume. 3. When negative pressure worked on the jar, air in the jar decreased. The percentage of air gradually reduced as the negative pressure acted in the jar. For example, the percentage of skin was 37-66% when the negative pressure, reatched -500mmHg. According to out results, different test areas generate different percentages of air in the jar, presumably related to skin elasticity. This phenomenon was most pronounced with the smallest jars. 4. At -500mmHg, the expansion rate of the skin was 1.57-1.9 on the abdomen, and $1.52{\sim}1.68$ on the back. The expansion rate of the skin appeared greater when the jar was relatively small, and it appeared smaller when the jar volume was relatively large relatively.

Recently, the importance of clean vacuum and partial pressure measurement of gas species has been increased in the vaccum process. In this study, the partial pressures of $H_2$, He, C, N, $O_2$, $H_2O $, Ar/2, $N_2$(CO), Ar, $CO_2$ were measured by residual gas analyzer according to temperature of cryogenic pump which is used to clean vacuum generation and compared. The experimental results showed that the cryopanel temperature was reached to 12K after 72 minutes of pumping and after 25hours, the partial pressures in percent were 24.9 %, 6.6%, 5.5 %, 2.2 %, 3.8%, 30.7%, 6.5%, 6.1 %, 5.5%, 8.2% for $H_2$, He, C, N, $O_2$, $H_2O $, Ar/2, $N_2$, Ar, $CO_2$ respectively. The dominant gases were $H_2$ and $H_2O $, and the partial pressures were relatively high compare to other gases.

의료용 X-ray의 발전에 따라, 영상의 Digital화가 필요하게 되었다. Digital 영상 구현을 위해 다양한 형태의 영상 검출기가 개발되었다. 진단 영상의 조건으로는 구현 시간이 빠르고 해상도가 높아야 한다. 조건에 부합하는 Flat panel 형태의 직접방식과 간접방식 검출기의 개발이 주로 이루어졌으며, X-ray 검출 효율이 높고 공간 분해능이 높은 직접 방식의 검출기에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 기존 직접방식의 X-ray 검출물질로는 A-Se이 이용되었다. 하지만 A-Se의 경우 낮은 원자번호로 인해 X-ray에 대한효율이 낮으며, 제조 공정과 수율의 문제로 인해 대체 물질의 개발과 공정의 개선이 필요하다. 선행 연구를 통해 X-ray 검출물질의 전기적 특성을 파악을 통해 대체 물질로서 가능성을 알아보았다. 본 연구에서는 기존에 제작된 X-ray 검출물질의 상부전극 증착 물질과 증착법 선정에 대한 연구이다. 선행 연구를 통해 선정된 X-ray 검출물질은 HgI2이다. 상, 하부 전극 선택에 있어 HgI2의 일함수 값(4.15eV)을 고려하여 그와 비슷한 일함수 값을 가진 물질로 전기적 장벽을 제거하여야 한다. 따라서, ITO (일함수 4.45eV)와 Au (일함수 5.1eV)을 선택하였다. ITO의 증착으로 이용된 방법으로는 on-axis 형태의 magnetron plasma sputtering을 이용하였으며, Au의 증착으로 이용된 방법은 Thermal evaporation deposition을 이용하였다. plasma sputtering에 이용된 타겟은 In2O3;SnO2 (조성비:90:10wt%)를 사용하였으며, Chamber의 크기는 넓이 456 ${\phi}cm^2$ 높이 25 cm이며, 로 target과 기판과의 거리는 15cm이다. plasma발생에 필요한 가스로는 Ar과 O2를 이용하였다. 고 진공 환경 조성에 이용된 장비로는 Rotary pump와 Turbo molecular pump이다. plasma 발생 전 진공도는 $3.2{\times}10^{-5}$ Torr, 발생 후 진공도는 $5.1{\times}10^{-5}$ Torr이다. plasma 환경이 조성된 후 증착 시간은 1분 30초이다. Au는 순도 99.999%를 이용하였으며, 이용된 금은 1회 증착에 0.3 g을 이용하였다. Chamber의 넓이 1,444 ${\phi}cm^2$이며, 높이 40 cm, boat와 기판과의 거리는 25 cm이다. 고 진공 환경 조성에 이용된 장비로는 Rotary pump와 diffusion pump를 이용하였다. Au의 승화 전 진공도는 $2.4{\times}10^{-5}$ Torr 증착 시 진공도는 $4.2{\times}10^{-5}$ Torr이며, Boat에 가해준 전압, 전류는 0.97 V, 47 A이며, 증착 시간은 1분 30초이다. 광도전체 층에 각각 증착된 전극의 저항을 통해 증착상태를 판단하였다. DMM (Digital Multimeter)로 1 cm 간격으로 측정된 표면의 저항은 ITO 약 $8{\Omega}$, Au 약 $3{\Omega}$으로 전극으로서 이용이 가능한 상태이다. Au와 ITO가 증착된 HgI2 시편의 전기적 특성은 기존에 이용된 X-ray 변환물질의 성능보다 우수하였다. 하지만 Au와 ITO가 각각 증착된 시편의 전기적 특성은 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. ITO의 경우 진공 상태에서 이용되는 Gas가 이용되며, Plasma 환경 조성 유지가 어려운 점이 있다. Au전극은 증착 환경 조성이 쉽지만, 전극 물질 이용효율이 떨어지는 단점이 있다. 본 연구를 통해 X-ray 변환물질인 HgI2의 전극물질로 Au와 ITO의 이용가능성을 알아보았다. 두 전극으로 제작된 검출기의 성능은 큰 차이 없이 우수하였고, 전기적 장벽 상태가 낮아 높은 검출 효율을 보였다. 상대적으로 Au 전극의 공정이 간단하고 수율이 높다. 하지만 Au Source의 이용 효율이 떨어지는 단점이 있다. 본 연구의 결과를 통해 공정상의 유리함과 Source의 이용효율을 고려한 분석에 대한 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

For desired optical properties of QDs, it is very important to reduce the presence of defects on their surfaces. Passivation of surface defects using larger band gap materials is the most effective way. Some groups successfully synthesized Cd based multi-shell structured quantum dots and improved its optical properties. However, its productivity has limit because of the amounts of glass ware and space. In this research, we try to synthesize Cd based multi-shell structured nanocrystal quantum dots to overcome demerits of conventional batch synthetic method. This reactor composed pump, SUS reaction part (3.2 mm stainless steel and furnace) and batch mixer. We successively synthesized CdSe/CdS/ZnS quantum dot at this reactor in one step.

최고진공도 10-10 mbar, 배기속도 2500 L/s를 구현할 대용량 복합 분자펌프(TMP) 설계를 위한 3차원 유동해석을 실시하였다. 진공도가 10-5 mbar 이상이 되는 고진공도에서는 Knudsen 수가 102~107에 이르러 분자간 충돌을 거의 무시할 수 있게 되며, 이때의 유체해석 방법으로서는 통상 희박기체 해석법으로 많이 쓰이는 Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) 방법이나 Continuum fluid에 대한 Navier-Stokes 해석보다, 충돌이 없는 분자의 자유운동을 모사하는 Monte Carlo 방법이 더 적합할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 다단계 rotor와 stator로 구성되는 복합분자 내 유동장에 Monte Carlo 해석법을 적용하여 유동해석을 실시하였다. 해석 방법의 타당성을 확인하기 위해 동일한 형상에 대해 Navier-Stokes 해석과 DSMC 해석을 병행하였다. 각각의 수치적 해석에서 공통적으로, TMP의 성능에 지배적인 영향을 미치는 설계변수는 rotor-stator의 날개각임이 확인되었고, 이 설계변수들의 최적값을 다양한 3차원 유동해석을 통해 도출하였다. 해석결과는 펌프설계에 적용되어 펌프 성능시험결과를 통해 확증된다.

Porous ceramic cups are used for monitoring ion concentration in soil solutions in various time course and depth. A soil solution sampler was constructed in laboratory by inserting pliable perfluoroalkoxy(PFA) tubings into porous cup through holes in PVC rod segment which plugged top opening of the porous cup. The system was installed in drip irrigated soil in a vertical position, and nitrogen movement below the drip basin was monitored. To collect soil solution, vacuum in the cup was applied with a hand vacuum pump. The samples obtained were sufficient enough to run quantitative analyses for a number of chemicals. Nitrogen transformation and movement could be well defined, and the system seemed to be relevant to the other soil solution samplers in monitoring chemical movement in soil. Although this system has general deficiencies found in the other samplers using ceramic cup, it could be easily constructed at a low cost. Since the tubing was pliable, the cups could be installed in horizontal position, and this allows installations of the cups at more precise depth increments and also more precise samplings of soil solution at each depth.
