The effects of different surfaces on dry and wet frosting test were experimentally investigated. The results of experiment were compared by the performance evaluation coefficient (PEC). Results showed that the air-side pressure drop of lacquer coated evaporator increased by 5% as compared to the plasma treated one. It was also found that the Plasma coated evaporator is lower than lacquer coated one in the PEC ratio.

The nuclear steam generator is composed of a bundle of tubes. The length of these tubes is very long, but their diameter is small. Fluid exists inside of the steam generator and its flow causes vibration, therefore these tubes are supported by anti-vibration bars. The wear damage due to the vibration is known as fretting wear, which should be minimized to ensure the safety of the plants. Research needs to be done about decreasing the amount of fretting wear. Hard coatings have proven to be very effective in reducing the amount of wear. The commercial coatings of TiN and CrN have excellent wear resistance and are used to protect the Inconel tube from fretting wear. The tube-on-flat type tester was used for conducting the fretting wear tests. It was found that the wear amounts of the coated tubes decreased depending on the coating thickness. CrN was found to be very effective in reducing the wear, while the wear amounts were dependent on the coating thickness in the case of TiN and a thick coating of TiN was very effective on wear resistance.

The current study presents experimental research on a parabolic trough collector with tube and cavity receivers. The primary concentrating parabolic reflector is designed for an aperture area of 2×2 m² with mirror-polished stainless steel sheet reflectors. The cavity receiver consists of a compound parabolic secondary reflector and a copper tube. Both the conventional tube receiver and the cavity receiver tube are coated with black powder. The experiments are carried out to compare the efficiency of the cavity receiver with the tube receiver for fluid temperature rise, thermal efficiency, and overall losses. The experiments showed significantly higher fluid temperature rise and overall efficiency and lower thermal losses for the cavity receiver compared to the tube receiver within the parameters explored in this study.

BSCCO tpaes with insulating ceramic barriers such as Zr$O_{2}$, $Al_{2}$$CO_{3}$, and Sr$CO_{3}$ were fabricated and their electrical properties were evaluated. Each filament was dip coated with ceramic slurries and then made 19 multifilamentary tapes by the “powder-in-tube” process. Microstructural investigation showed that filaments were completely decoupled each other and had a significant sausage effect. The critical current of coated tapes was reduced compared to that of non coated one, and its reduction was varied with the coating materials. For tapes with coated with Sr$CO_{3}$, the critical current was measured to be 7.2 A which was 44% reduction to that of non coated one. This reduction is believed to be due to the formation of sausage effect and non-uniform microstructure.

The surface defects of an aluminum tube for an OPC drum have been analyzed using a scanning microscopy(SEM) and an energy dispersive X-ray analyze.(EDX). The SEM/EDX system, which may provide good information on the surface defects and their distributions, provides an optical diameter of an impurity and a chemical composition. These are strongly related on the coated film thickness and quality of an OPC drum, which is a key element of a toner cartridge for a laser printer. The experimental results show that the local deformations, scratch wear, and flaws are produce the non-uniform coating layers, which may be removed by a manufacturing process of an aluminum tube. The major parameters on the coating quality of an OPC drum are the impurities of an aluminum tube such as silicon, oxygen, calcium, carbon, sulphur, chlorine, and others. These impurities may be removed by an ingot molding, extrusion and drawing, quality control, and packing processes with a strict manufacturing technology.

Falling-film evaporation experiments with aqueous lithium bromide (LiBr) solution were performed to investigate the heat transfer characteristics of enhanced copper tubes. Enhanced tubes (a knurled tube, a spirally grooved tube, and a tube coated with $20{\mu}m$ aluminum particles) and a bare tube were selected as test specimens. Averaged evaporation fluxes of water were obtained from horizontal tubes with various film Reynolds numbers, system pressures, LiBr concentrations and degrees of wall superheat. The enhanced performance of steam generation was compared between tubes with varying parameters. The knurled tube geometry showed the most excellent performance among the tubes tested. The specified enhanced tubes were more useful for generating steam on a low grade heat source such as waste heat.

Water repellent surfaces may enhance the condensation by efficiently removing the condensed droplets. However, such surfaces may lose their original performance as they are exposed to external mechanical stresses. In this work, we fabricated spray-coated mechanically robust superhydrophobic surfaces using treated titanium dioxide (Type 1) or silica particles (Type 2). Then we compared the mechanical robustness of such surfaces with the silane-coated superhydrophobic surface and PEEK coated surface using a controlled-sand blasting method. The results show that the spray-coated samples can maintain the same level of the contact angle hysteresis than silane-coated superhydorphobic surface after sand blasting at 2 bar. The spray-coating method was applied to the tube type condenser and the condensation behaviors were observed within the environmental chamber with controlled pressure, humidity and non-condensable gas. Previously-reported droplet jumping was observed in the early stage of the condensation event, but soon the droplet jumping stopped and only dropwise condensation was observed since the condensed droplets were pinned on the cracks at spray-coated surfaces. The static contact angle decreases from $158.0^{\circ}$ to $133.2^{\circ}$, and hysteresis increases from $3.0^{\circ}$ to $23.5^{\circ}$ when active condensation occurs on such surfaces. This work suggests the benefits and limitation of spray-coated superhydrophobic condensers and help develop advanced condensers for practical use.

In this study, Al₂O₃ and H-ZSM-5 were coated on the inner wall of the stainless steel tube for the stable use of liquid hydrocarbon fuel and an endothermic catalyst used as coolant for hypersonic flying vehicles. Coke production is inevitable by the endothermic decomposition reaction of the liquid hydrocarbon fuel, and Fe, Ni metals induce the production of the filamentous coke by using a stainless steel tube reactor as a cooling channel. By coating the stainless steel with H-ZSM-5, Fe and Ni metals are prevented from being directly exposed to the liquid hydrocarbon fuel, and the formation of the filamentous coke is inhibited. In addition, Al₂O₃ is coated between the stainless steel and H-ZSM-5 to enhance adhesion bond strength.

This research was carried out to investigate the optimal conditions ssociated with the RIA procedures such as a bridging phenomena, prozone effects and a new separation methods etc. The results obtained were summarized as follows: 1. The lgG fractions of donkey anti-rabbit IgG sera were purified by Protein-A-Sepharose affinity column, which indicates that Protein-A an affinity for IgG class of donkey antiserum. 2. In coating the IgG fraction on polystryene tubes, incubation conditions made no differences between 2 hr at room temperature and overnight at 4$^{\circ}C$. 3. There were no significant differences between 1st antibody-coated tube and 2nd antibody-coated tube as a separation method when compared in terms of reproducbility. A better reproducibility may be expected if the titers of 1st antibody for the progesterone to be assayed and of corresponding 2nd antibody are reasonably high. 4. The titers of anti-progesterone antibody for 3H-progesterone and progesterone-11HS-125I were 1:300 and 1:700 in liquid-phase, and 1:100 and 1:300 in solid-phse for the separation methods. 5. A bridging phenomena in which a standard curve is long and shallow were observed when progesterone-11HS-125I was used for the tracer, but not in 3H-progesterone. 6. A prozone effect in a solid-phase system, especially 1st antibody-coated tube method was observed which the degree of inhibition was significantly different although zero bindings look the same. In this case, the titration curve should be made both in the absence and in the presence of a, pp.opriate amount of competiter, standard, respectively.
