A new methodology, the crack-spallation model, has been developed to analyze gas-solid reactions dominated by crack growth inside of the solid reactant and spallation phenomena. The new model physically represents three processes of the reaction progress: (1) diffusion of gas reactant through pores; (2) growth of product particle in pores; and (3) crack and spallation of solid reactant. The validation of this method has been conducted by comparison of results obtained in an experiment for oxidation of $UO_2$ and the shrinking core model. The reaction progress evaluated by the crack-spallation model shows better agreement with the experimental data than that evaluated by the shrinking core model. To understand the trigger point during the reaction progress, a detailed analysis has been conducted. A parametric study also has been performed to determine mass diffusivities of the gas reactant and volume increase constants of the product particles. This method can be appropriately applied to the gas-solid reaction based on the crack and spallation phenomena such as the voloxidation process.

According to the requirement of Res.MSC.285(86) for natural gas-fueled engine installations in ships, pump and compressor rooms should be fitted with effective mechanical ventilation system of the under pressure type, providing a ventilation capacity of at least 30 air changes per hour. It generally considered that gas leakage is more likely from a Fueled Gas Supply System(FGS) room as compared to other places, where installed in many kind of machinery or equipments like gas supply high-pressure pipes, valves, flanges and etc. Furthermore, leaked gas may be dispersed in a short time in an enclosed space, especially a FGS room, due to high pressure. However, the present requirement in Res.MSC.285(86) just considers the ventilating capacity of air changes per hour but the capacity of leaked gas. Hence, the current requirements may not meet effectively when enforcing the new propulsion systems as marine fuel. This study is conducted for the purpose of safety evaluation about the dispersion and ventilation efficiency with estimated leakage scenario. Numerical analysis predictions as the result of this paper are explained to know the features of flow pattern and the diffusion of natural gas concentration.

초고집적 반도체 회로에서 Cu를 배선으로 쓰이기 위한 Cu 금속과 Si 기판사이의 확산방지막으로써 Zr(Si)N 박막을 연구하였다. Zr(Si)N 박막증착은 DC magnetron sputter으로 $Ar/N_2$의 혼합 gas를 사용한 reactive sputtering 방법을 이용하였다. 상온에서 ZrN 박막 증착시 Ar gas와 NE gas 비율이 48 : 2일 때 가장 낮은 비저항값을 가졌으며, 증착시 기판의 온도의 증가에 따라서 비저항값이 낮아졌다. 비저항값이 감소된 ZrN 박막일수록 (002)면의 방향성을 갖는 결정이 성장되었다. ZrN 박막의 Cu 확산방지 특성은 ZrN 박막에 Si을 첨가함으로써 개선될 수 있으며 지나치게 첨가될 경우에는 오히려 확산방지 특성이 감소되었다. 접착력 특성에서는 ZrN에 Si의 함유량이 증가함에 파라 개선되었다. 증착막의 특성은 XRD, 광학 현미경, scretch tester 그리고 $\alpha$-step 등을 사용하여 분석하였다.

Durability characteristics of Gas Diffusion Layer(GDL) is one of the important issues for accomplishing commercialization of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell(PEMFC). It is strongly related to the performances of PEMFC because one of the main functions of GDL is to work as a path of fuel, air and water. When the GDL does not work on their proposed functions due to the degradation of durability, mass transfer in PEMFC is disturbed and it might cause the flooding phenomenon. Thus, investigating the durability of GDL is important and understanding the GDL degradation process is needed. In this study, electrochemical degradation with carbon corrosion is introduced. The carbon corrosion experiment is carried out with GDLs which have different MPL penetration thicknesses. After the experiment, the amount of degradation of GDL is measured with various properties of GDL such as weight, thickness and performance of the PEMFC. The degraded GDL shows loss of their properties.

본 논문은 동결과 융해가 고분자 전해질 연료전지 내의 기체확산층에 미치는 영향에 대해 X-선 단층 촬영법을 이용하여 수행한 실험적 연구이다. 고분자 전해질 연료전지는 외부 온도가 0 도 이하가 되면 내부의 물이 동결되며, 외부 온도가 0 도 이상으로 상승하면 다시 녹는 과정을 겪게 된다. 이 과정은 연료전지의 내부 구조에 변형을 야기하고 이로 인해 연료전지의 전력과 수명의 감소를 야기하게 된다. 기체확산층은 연료전지 내부에서 가장 두꺼운 다공성층이며, 이로 인해 가장 많은 변형이 발생된다. 본 연구에서는 포항 방사광 가속기의 X-선 단층 촬영법을 이용하여 물의 동결과 융해 과정이 기체확산층의 내부 구조에 미치는 변화를 관찰하였다. 이 기체확산층의 구조 변화가 고분자 전해질 연료전지의 전력 생산과 수명에 미치는 영향에 관해 논의하였다.

The experiment was carried out for the purpose of studying the carburization of pure iron ingot and sintered iron powder by solid carbon in the atmosphere of CO gas. The volocity of carburization was estimaed by the diffusion coefficient D calculated by carburization equation. The results obtained were as follow: 1. The higher the carburization temperature, carburization depth and carbon concentration were increased, and the melting zone which had $2.8{\sim}3.4%C$ at the $3{\sim}4mm$ from interface of carburization was formed at $1300^{\circ}C$. 2. The main carburization mechanism of pure iron ingot and the sintered iron powder were proceeded by CO gas up to $1100^{\circ}C$, solid carbon over than $1300^{\circ}C$, respectively. 3. The main carburization mechanism of pure iron ingot at $1200^{\circ}C$ was proceeded by solid carbon, and sintered iron powder was proceeded bs CO gas, however, in case the reaction time, the carburization was proceeded by solid carbon over than 5hrs. 4. The diffusion coefficient D of carbon were $0.559{\times}10^{-6}cm^2.sec^{-1}$ at $1100^{\circ}C$, $0.237{\times}10^{-6}cm^2.sec^{-1}$ at $1200^{\circ}C$, $0.087{\times}10^{-6}cm^2.sec^{-1}$ at $1300^{\circ}C$, in case of pure iron ingot carburized. 5. The diffusion coefficient D of carbon were $0.124\;cm^2.sec^{-1}$ at $1100^{\circ}C$, $0.102\;cm^2.sec^{-1}$ at $1200^{\circ}C$, $0.480\;{\times}10^{-6}cm^2.sec^{-1}$ at $1300^{\circ}C$, in the case of sintered iron carburized at the pressuring $4ton\;/\;cm^2$.

Gas diffusion layers (GDLs) of carbon composite type in polymer electrolyte fuel cells were prepared by simple and cheap manufacturing process. To obtain the carbon composite GDLs, carbon black with polymer binder was mixed in solvent, rolled to make sheet, and finally heat-treated at $340^{\circ}C$. The performance of fuel cell using composite GDLs was changed by PTFE content. The physical properties of composite GDLs for pore, conductivity and air permeability were analyzed to compare with the variation of fuel cell performance. The conductivity of composite GDLs was very similar to carbon paper as commercial GDL but pore properties and air flux were considerably different. The porosity, PTFE content and conductivity for composite GDLs did not have an influence on the cell performance much. The increase of pore diameter and air flux led to enhance cell performance.

인산형 연료전지에서 cathode 및 anode 전극의 반응 면적을 넓혀 전극성능을 향상시키고자 전극 촉매층에 가스 확산로를 도입하였다. 촉매층의 제작은 기체확산로로 이용하고자 제조된, 촉매가 담지되어 있지 않은 PTFE/carbon과 10w/o의 촉매가 담지된 Pt/carbon을 혼합 비율을 달리하면서 촉매 분말법으로 제작하였다. PTFE를 60w/o 담지한 PTFE(60 w/o)/carbon 분말과 Pt(10 w/o)/carbon분말을 7 : 3의 비율로 혼합하여 제조된 전극이 가장 우수한 성능을 보였다. 이들 조성을 변화시키면서 전극의 다공성과 전극성능을 비교 검토하여 본 결과 전극성능은 기체 확산로로 이용되는 macro pore와 전해질의 침투로 이용되는 micro pore 모두가 많이 형성됨에 따라 향상되었음을 알 수 있었다. 이때 전극에 담지된 백금 촉매의 양은 0.2mg/$\textrm{cm}^2$이었으며 PTFE함량은 42w/o이었다. 작동온도 15$0^{\circ}C$, 단자전압 0.7 V에서 전류밀도는 220 ㎃/$\textrm{cm}^2$이었다.

A concept of household container to create and keep the modified atmosphere (MA) beneficial for fresh produce mix was devised and tested under typical chilled storage conditions of 3℃. The container system containing mixed products is initialized by applying weak hypobaric condition (0.9 atm) and subsequently injecting CO₂ gas at an appropriate low level (0.03 atm). The passive atmosphere modification by produce respiration is then induced to reach a target until gas diffusion tube of proper dimension starts to open. The design was made to attain quasi-steady state mass balance of O₂, CO₂ and N₂ to maintain the desired MA through the storage. Interrupted opening for taking out or placing some products was to reinitialize the loop of control logic. The developed concept was tested by the container which held commodities of spinach, pak choi, oyster mushroom, peeled onion, strawberry and cut carrot. The target optimum MA of 11% O₂ and 10% CO₂ (0.11 and 0.10 atm, respectively) was set to avoid injurious range of O₂ and CO₂ concentrations for any commodities. The developed container system could work to reach and maintain beneficial MA of 0.10-0.12 atm O₂ and 0.07-0.10 atm CO₂ close to the target during the storage contributing to quality retention of products measured in weight loss, chlorophyll content of spinach, ascorbic acid content of pak choi, color of onion, texture of oyster mushroom, bacterial count of strawberry and carotenoids of carrot. The container system shows potential to improve current preservation practice of fresh produce mix on consumers' level.

극청정 가스필터용 다공성 멤브레인을 제조하기 위해 금속산화물 분말의 in-situ한 환원/소결 공정을 이용하였다. 또한 기공도의 향상을 위해 solid pore forming agent로써 구형의 폴리머 입자를 첨가하여 금속 섬유를 사용한 멤브레인과 비슷한 52%의 기공도를 가지는 니켈 멤브레인을 제조하였다. 제조된 니켈 멤브레인은 폴리머의 첨가에 따라 평균기공크기와 기공도가 증가하였다. 한편 환원/소결 온도가 $800^{\circ}C$에서 $1000^{\circ}C$로 상승함에 따라 평균기공크기와 기공도는 감소하였다. 이는 환원/소결 온도가 상승함에 따라 격자확산 및 입계확산이 진행되어 멤브레인의 수축률 증가를 일으켰기 때문이다.
