To examine how London energy controls the c-dimensions of phyllosilicates, London energy, as well as Coulomb and Pauli repulstion energy was calculated as a function of d(001) for 1M and d(002) for 2M 1 phyllosilicates. London and Pauli repulstion energy calcualtion use a direct interaction calculation method and Coulomb energy calculation adopts Fourier synthesis method. The energy calculations show that Coulmb and Pauli repulsion energy dominantly control the c-dimensions of phyllosilicates having the interlayer cationss, i.e., the layer charges. On the other hand, if phyllosilicates have no interlayer cations, London energy is solely responsible for holding the layers and maintain the c-dimensions. The significance of London energy in determining the c-dimensions of phyllosislicates de-creases as the layer charge increases. When the layer charge is lower than one equivalent on the basis of Oη(OH)2 formula, London energy plays an important role in determing the c-dimensions. however, if the layer charge is higher than one equivalent, London energy becomes insignifi-cant in determining the c-dimension.

Homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engine combines the combustion characteristics of a compression ignition engine and a spark ignition engine. HCCI engines take advantage of the high compression ratio and heat release rate and thus exhibit high efficiency found in compression ignition engines. In modern research, simulation has be come a powerful tool as it saves time and also economical when compared to experimental study. Engine simulation has been developed to predict the performance of a homogeneous charge compression ignition engine. The effects of compression ratio, cylinder pressure, rate of pressure rise, flame temperature, rate of heat release, and mass fraction burned were simulated. The simulation and analysis show several meaningful results. The objective of the present study is to develop a combustion characteristics model for a homogeneous charge compression ignition engine running with isooctane as a fuel and effect of compression ratio.

Solar energy has attracted big attentions as one of clean and unlimited renewable energy. Solar energy is transformed to electrical energy by solar cells which are comprised of multi-silicon wafer or mono-silicon wafer. Monosilicon wafers are fabricated from the Czochralski method. In order to decrease fabrication cost, increasing a poly-silicon charge size in one quartz crucible has been developed very much. When we increase a charge size, the temperature control of a Czochralski equipment becomes more difficult due to a strong melt convection. In this study, we simulated a Czochralski equipment temperature at 20 inch and 24 inch in quartz crucible diameter and various charge sizes (90 kg, 120 kg, 150 kg, 200 kg, 250 kg). The simulated temperature profiles are compared with real temperature profiles and analyzed. It turns out that the simulated temperature profiles and real temperature profiles are in good agreement. We can use a simulated profile for the optimization of real temperature profile in the case of increasing charge sizes.

The charge operation of an ice storage system has been analyzed in this paper. The thermal characteristics of major components of the ice storage system. i.e., the refrigerator and the ice storage tank are evaluated from performance tests on an existing ice storage system. Based on the measured data for thermal characteristics, a simulation is carried out for the charge operation and the effect of the refrigerator size on the system performance is investigated. The results indicate that the larger the refrigerator size for a given storage capacity, the lower the inlet temperature of the ice storage tank so that the lower the efficiency of charge operation. It is also found that there exists an optimal size of the refrigerator with which the ice storage at the end of the charge operation is maximized, but the complete charge is not possible even with the optimally sized refrigerator. This leads to the result that the design capacity of the storage tank should be larger than the required amount of cold energy for the daytime cooling considering the practically chargeable amount of cold energy during the nighttime. Where the cooling load sharing of the storage is 40%, the nominal capacity of an ice storage tank needs to be larger than the required storage amount by 30%.

In this study, the optimization and performance characteristics of a cascade heat pump system was analyzed with the variation of low stage refrigerant charge amount. The cascade heat pump was designed and constructed with R134a and R410A as the refrigerant for high stage and low stage cycle, respectively. Experiments were conducted by varying the low stage charge amount and the performance characteristics of the cascade heat pump were studied. The refrigerant charge amount of the low stage cycle was varied between the ranges of -15% and +10% of the optimum charge amount. The performance variation experienced in the cascade heat pump due to the variation of refrigerant charge amount shows greater effect in the undercharge regions than the overcharge regions. COP reduction in the undercharge region is larger than the decrease in the overcharge region. Some cycle variation such as power consumption and cycle pressure according to low stage refrigerant charge amount showed different trends comparing with those according to high stage refrrgerant charge amount. Therefore, the optimum charge amount of the cascade heat pump should be determined based on the experimental data obtained by the variation of high and low stage refrigerant charge amount.

This paper deals with stand-alone Photovoltaic system(SPVS) with charge and discharge controller. Main power source of SPVS are generally solar cell and battery. Therefore SPVS can be classified into variable types in accordance with connection method between battery and solar cell array. Mainly used one of them is direct connection type which has advantages such as simple structure and simple controller. However most big drawback of this system is energy loss by voltage disharmony between solar cell array and battery. Therefore SPVS with charge and discharge controller which can operate solar cell array at maximum power point is designed and experimented with a laboratory prototype.

The discharge energy by electrostatic discharge of the charged human body is calculated under the assumption that the stored charge is dissipated completely. However, it is well-known that the charge is slightly remained after electrostatic discharge. Therefore, The Rompe-Weisel model of the discharge analysis, which has somewhat more of a physical justification than the conventional energy equation, is proposed. It is proposed that the electrical conductivity of the arc should be proportional to the energy density transferred to it by Ohmic dissipation. For the electrostatic discharge energy analysis, the Rompe-Weisel model was compared by quasi static analysis. As a consequence, a study on a reliable energy evaluation based on simulation models during electrostatic discharge is carried out in this paper and is adopted to estimate the explosion hazards of flammable gases.

In this study, we investigated the relationship between the adsorption property of Methyl violet or Tartrazine dye onto silica sol surface and surface charge density of the sol. The adsorption ratio of Methyl violet dye on silica sol decreased to 74% and 92% for the 68nm and 94nm silica sol, respectively, at dye concentration of $175{\mu}g/m^2$. However, the adsorption ratio of Tartrazine dye on 68nm and 94nm silica sol was about 0% for both of them. The surface charge density is $-0.40C/m^2$, $-0.26C/m^2$ for 68nm and 94nm silica sol, respectively. The amount of Methyl violet dye adsorbed on silica sol increased with an increase of surface charge density of particle at the same concentration of the dye. The adsorbed amount of the silica having high surface charge density is larger at high pH domain. But adsorbed amount of the silica having low surface charge density is larger at low pH domain.

The electrokinetic potential of $CaCO_3$, which takes an important part in aquatic system, has been measured and the variation of total energy between $CaCO_3$ particles with the distance of particles was estimated based on DLVO theory. The electrokinetic potential of particles was observed to increase to positive direction as the charge valence of cations which was added to suspension was increased. Also, the total interaction energy between particles was estimated to be more negative as the charge valence of cation was higher and its concentrations was raised. When a mixture of cations with different charge valences was added, the influence of cation with a higher charge valence was more significant on the total interaction energy between particles. When anion was added to the suspension of $CaCO_3$, the total energy estimated by DLVO theory was examined to move to positive direction and the electrokinetic potential of particles became more negative. Likewise cations, the effect of anions on the electrokinetic potential of particles and total interaction energy between them was observed to be proportional to their charge valence and the influence of the mixture of anions with different charge valence became more remarkable as the mixing ratio of the anion with a higher charge valence was increased.
