The principal obstacle to selection of a laser processing method in production is its relatively high equipment cost and the natural unwillingness of production supervision to try something new until it is thoroughly proven. The major objective of this work is focused on the combined features of gas tungsten arc and a low-power cold laser beam. In this work, the laser beam from a 7 watts carbon monoxide laser was combined with electrical discharges from a short-pulsed capacitive discharge GTA welding power supply. When the low power CO laser beam passes through a special composition shielding gas, the CO molecules in the gas absorbs the radiation, and ionizes through a process blown as non-equilibrium, vibration-vibration pumping. The resulting laser-induced plasma(LIP) was positioned between various configurations of electrodes. The high-voltage impulse applied to the electrodes forced rapid electrical breakdown between the electrodes. Electrical discharges between tungsten electrodes and aluminum sheet specimens followed the ionized path provided by LIP. The result was well-focused melted spots.

In this paper, the steady-state performances analysis of a tilting pad gas bearing(TPGB) we analyzed by using finite element method for compressible Reynolds' equation. TPGB is used in a high-expansion-ratio expander running at a speed of 230,000 rpm. In order to solve the nonlinear finite element equations, the Newton-Raphson method is applied. The variations of the loading capacity, friction force and tilting angle of a single pad v.s. eccentricity direction of eccentricity and bearing number are investigated. The condition for the equilibrium of a pad, which is important for safe working of the bearing, is stated. The performances of the three pad bearing such as loading capacity, friction moment are predicted.

Inorganic ions and water are major components of ambient fine particles. Water content in fine particles is mainly determined by ambient meteorological conditions and the concentrations of hygroscopic species such as inorganic ions. Thus, to reduce fine particle mass concentration, it is important to accurately estimate the relationship between water content and the concentration of ions in fine particles. Water content in fine particles in Seoul are estimated by using a gas/particle equilibrium model to understand the characteristics of fine particle mass concentration. In addition, sensitivity of fine particle mass concentration to the changes of particulate ionic species (sulfate, nitrate, and ammonium) is estimated. It was found that water content in Seoul is mostly determined by the concentrations of the hygroscopic ionic species, especially, sulfate and ammonium, and ambient relative humidity.

가스 하이드레이트는 물분자와 저분자량의 가스분자가 고압과 저온에서 수소결합을 이루며 형성되는 결정성 화합물을 말한다. 최근 가스 하이드레이트의 물리적 특성과 형성 원리를 이용하여 다양한 분야로의 적용 연구가 수행되고 있는데 이의 효과적 달성을 위해서는 가스 하이드레이트의 상평형 연구가 필수적이다. 기존에 수행되는 상평형 실험 방법은 온도의 변화에 따라 하이드레이트를 해리시키고 압력의 변곡점을 찾는 것으로 최소 24시간이 소요되지만, 본 연구진이 제안하는 QCM을 이용한 방법은 1 ng의 무게에 1 Hz의 변화를 나타내는 수정진동자의 민감성을 이용한 것으로 약 2~3시간 내에 상평형 실험을 수행할 수 있고, 하이드레이트의 기억효과(Memory Effect)를 이용하여 연속적인 상평형 실험도 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 QCM 반응기의 원리 및 실험 방법에 대하여 설명하고 열역학적 촉진제를 첨가한 상평형 실험결과를 제시함으로써 상대적으로 저렴한 가격으로 다양한 촉진제와 억제제 첨가 시 나타나는 상평형 효과를 빠른 시간 내에 선별할 수 있는 방법으로 QCM을 이용한 방법을 제안하고자 한다.

A compute program based on the minimization of total Gibbs' free energy and enthalpy balance was developed to calculate the chemical equilibrium composition and adiabatic flame temperature, especially stressed on NO and CO concentration of Heavy oil. Twenty four components of combustion gases which would be produced from the combustion of Heavy oil were chosen and utilized for the products composition analysis of competing combustion reaction. As the results, following conclusions were turned out; (1) Maximum adiabatic flame temperature was found around to be 2900K, when the stoichiometric air ratio was 0.8. (2) Maximum NO quantity in adiabatic process was occurred when supplied air quantity was around 120% of theoretical air requirement. (3) NO and CO quantities were increased with combustion gas temperature at constant stoichiometric air ratio. (4) At constant temperature of combustion gas, NO quantity was increased and Co quantity was decreased with supplied air quantity.

In-house code which simulates the performance of pre-burner in staged-combustion liquid-fueled rocket engine was developed and demonstrated. Chemical reaction of pre-burner was modeled based on analytic algorithm of CEA (Chemical Equilibrium with Applications) and gas dynamics model was incorporated with it. Comparison results between in-house code and CEA have shown small relative errors except at very high or very low O/F ratio. Also the performance curve obtained by in-house code revealed that the calculated values follow the overall trend of real engine (RD-8) performance quite well and at steady-state operation, the deviation became very small.

$SF_6$ 가스는 높은 절연 특성으로 인해 산업공정에서 순수 또는 $N_2$ 나 $CO_2$ 가스를 혼합시켜 광범위하게 사용되고 있다. 그러나 $SF_6$ 가스의 지구온난화지수는 $CO_2$ 대비 23,900배로 환경에 치명적인 영향을 줄 수 있으므로, $SF_6$ 가스에 대한 분리 및 처리에 관한 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 조성에 따른 $SF_6-N_2$ 혼합기체의 3상평형(물-하이드레이트-기체)점을 측정하였다. 측정결과 $N_2$가 더 많이 첨가된 혼합기체일수록 순수 $SF_6$의 상평형 조건보다 더 높은 압력, 더 낮은 온도에서 형성됨을 알 수 있었고 라만분석으로 실제 만들어진 하이드레이트 내에 혼합기체를 확인하였다. 또한 하이드레이트 형성속도 및 회수기체의 조성을 측정하여 분리 및 회수의 효율을 살펴보았다. 본 실험에서 얻어진 결과는 $SF_6$ 혼합기체의 분리 및 처리에 관한 연구의 중요한 기초 자료가 될 것이다.

Porous carbon with high surface area and pore volume was prepared by a reverse replication process and its toluene equilibrium adsorption behavior was investigated. The preparation process of the porous carbon was composed of fellowing sub-processes in series: synthesis and template preparation of silica gel, impregnation and polymerization of DVB monomer in silica template, carbonization of DVB polymer in a silica-polymer composite, and HF-assisted selective etching of silica in carbon-silica composite. The prepared porous carbon was nano porous and had ultrahigh specific surface area (2007 ㎡/g) and large pore volume (3.07 ㎤/g). The nanoporous carbon showed rapid toluene adsorption rate and good toluene adsorption capacity, compared with a commercial Y-type zeolite. In the present study, a reverse replication process to prepare nanoporous carbons will be introduced and its application potential as a gas adsorbent will be discussed.

Isothermal vapor-liquid equilibrium data have been measured for binary systems n-dodecane-1-defanol, n-doderane-1-dodecanol, and 1-decanoi-1-dodecanol at 140$^{\circ}C$ by using head space gas chromatography (H.S.G.C) as a static method. The activity coefficients, calculated taking into acount the nonideality of the liquid phase, were correlated with the conventional g$\^$E/ model, Margules, van Laar, Wilson, NRTL equations. These equilibrium data were thermodynamically consistent by Rrdlich- kister test, among these data, system n-dodecane-1-detanoi has minimum azeotrope.
