바이오가스로부터 이산화탄소와 질소를 제거하기 위한 흡착공정은 많이 논의되고 있다. 특히 흡착공정 중에서 압력변동흡착(Pressure swing adsorption)공정은 에너지소모가 적고 가격이 경제적이기 때문에 기체의 분리와 정제를 위한 공정으로 적절하다. 물리적 흡착을 사용하는 PSA공정은 흡착과 탈착이 가능하다. 각 cycle단계의 구성은 가압, 주입 및 흡착, 압력 균등화, 감압 및 세정으로 이루어져있다. 본 실험에서 PSA공정은 이산화탄소와 질소를 제거하기 위한 흡착제로 zeolite 13X와 carbon molecular sieve (CMS)로 구성되어 있으며, 혼합 가스의 농도는 $CH_4/CO_2/N_2$ (75:21:4 vol%)의 비율을 갖고 있다. 각각 zeolite 13X와 CMS는 선택적으로 혼합가스로부터 질소와 이산화탄소를 흡착하여 분리하고 제거한다. 또한 CMS의 경우는 빠르게 분산되는 이산화탄소의 처리량이 높다. 상부탱크, 하부탱크, 주입탱크의 가스 조성은 TCD 검출기를 이용하는 gas chromatography (GC)에 의해서 측정되었다.

본 연구에서는 anode로 Kroll 공정 처리된 Ti 스폰지를 사용하여 아크 전류, 아크 전압, 플라즈마 가스 종류에 따른 플라즈마 아크 재용해 거동을 조사하였다. 진공펌프의 토출 압력 범위($200{\sim}300kgf/cm^2$)에서는 토출 압력 증가에 따라 주어진 아크 길이에서 아크 전압이 크게 달라지지 않았다. 이것은 작업하는 동안 진공챔버내 압력이 거의 변화하지 않고, 주어진 분위기 압력을 잘 유지함을 의미한다. 여러가지 아크 전류 조건(700~900A)에서, 아크 전류 증가에 따라 아크 전압이 약간 증가하였고, anode 재료변화에 대한 효과도 이전 연구결과와 비교하였다. 분위기 가스가 Ar에서 He으로 변경되는 경우에는 정상상태의 출력이 2배 정도 향상되는 효과가 관찰되었다. 플라즈마 아크 장치의 출력 증가는 Ti 스폰지의 재용해 속도 증가와 함께 잉곳 표면도 양호해졌다. New 스크랩인 타이타늄과 old 스크랩인 지르코늄 합금을 플라즈마 아크 재용해한 결과, 매우 양호한 표면을 갖는 잉곳을 제조할 수 있었다.

The synthetic methods for high yield of multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWNT) and singlewalled carbon nanotube (SWNT) with high purity by arc discharge have been investigated. MWNTs were synthesized under different pressures of helium and the gas mixture of argon and hydrogen. Relatively high pressure of 300-400 torr was required for high yield MWNTs synthesis at low bias voltage of about 20 V and 55 A, whereas low pressure of about 100 torr was required for SWNTs. The introduction of hydrogen gases during the synthesis of MWNTs improved the yield and purity of the samples. The SWNTs were synthesized by the assistance of a small amount of mixture of transition metals, which played as a catalyst during the formation process. The purity and yield of SWNTs were higher at a lower pressure and enhanced by mixing more components of the transition metals.

본 연구에서는 디스크와 인장시험 등을 통해 수소취성에 대한 재료 특성을 평가하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 니켈 당량이 28.5 이상인 합금 조성과, 이와 유사한 상용 합금 조성 2종에 대해 합금을 제조하였고, 각 합금은 진공유도용해로(Vacuum Induction Melting, VIM)에서 개발 합금(이하 #1)과 상용 배관(이하 각각 #2, #3)을 재용해하여 주조재로 제조하였고, 주조 합금은 단조 및 압연하여 판재로 제조하였다. 디스크형태의 시편은 0.1~1000 bar/min의 속도로 수소와 헬륨으로 가압하여 파열압력을 측정하여 수소에 대한 특성을 평가하였고, 전기화학적 방법으로 수소처리한 인장시편과 비교군에 대해 항복강도, 인장강도, 연신률, 단면적 감소율을 확인하였다. 또한 인장시편은 주사전사현미경을 통해 파단면을 확인하였다. 디스크파열시험과 수소처리 한 시편의 인장시험을 통해, 본 연구를 통해 개발된 강종의 경우 상용 강종과 비교하여 유사한 수소취성 특성을 갖고 있음을 확인하였고, 파단면 또한 미세한 두께의 벽개파괴 특성을 보였지만 기계적 강도에 큰 영향을 미치지 않음에 따라 개발된 고질소 스테인리스강은 내수소취성이 우수한 것으로 평가 할 수 있었다.

We investigated the etching characteristics of zinc oxide (ZnO) and the effect of additive gases in a $Cl_2$-based inductively coupled plasma. The inert gases were argon, nitrogen, and helium. The maximum etch rates were 44.3, 39.9, and 37.9 nm/min for $Cl_2$(75%)/Ar(25%), $Cl_2$(50%)/$N_2$(50%), and $Cl_2$(75%)/He(25%) gas mixtures, 600 W radiofrequency power, 150 W bias power, and 2 Pa process pressure. We obtained the maximum etch rate by a combination of chemical reaction and physical bombardment. A volatile compound of Zn-Cl. achieved the chemical reaction on the surface of the ZnO thin films. The physical etching was performed by inert gas ion bombardment that broke the Zn-O bonds. The highly oriented (002) peak was determined on samples, and the (013) peak of $Zn_2SiO_4$ was observed in the ZnO thin film sample based on x-ray diffraction spectroscopy patterns. In addition, the sample of $Cl_2$/He chemistry showed a high full-width at half-maximum value. The root-mean-square roughness of ZnO thin films decreased to 1.33 nm from 5.88 nm at $Cl_2$(50%)/$N_2$(50%) plasma chemistry.

The cryogenic cooling system should maintain the HTS power cable below 77 K. As the length of HTS power cables has increased, there have been many efforts to develop large capacity cryocoolers. Brayton, Joule-Thomson, and Claude refrigerators were considered for the large capacity cryocooler. Among the various cryocoolers, the Brayton refrigerator is the most competitive in terms of the HTS power cable. At present, it is thought that a 10-kW class refrigerator will be able to be used as a unit cooling system for the commercialization of HTS power cables in the near future. The Brayton refrigerator is composed of recuperative heat exchangers, a compressor, and a cryogenic turbo expander. Among the various components, the cryogenic turbo expander is the part that decreases the temperature, and it is the most significant component that is closely related with overall system efficiency. It rotates at high speed using high-pressure helium or neon gas at cryogenic temperatures. This paper describes the design of a 300-W class Brayton refrigeration cycle and the cryogenic turbo expander as a downscale model for the practical 10-kW class cycle. Flow and structural analyses are performed on the rotating impeller and nozzle to verify the efficiency and the design performance.

Studies on the development of high voltage superconducting apparatuses, such as transmission superconducting fault current limiters (SFCLs) and superconducting cables, have been performed worldwide. In this paper, a study on the electrical insulation characteristics of electro negative gas according to various pressures and utilization factors was conducted as a part of developing a high voltage superconducting coil with a sub-cooled nitrogen cooling system. Some gases such as helium (He), nitrogen ($N_2$), and sulfur hexafluoride ($SF_6$) are considered for pressurizing the sub-cooled nitrogen cooling system of high voltage SFCLs and superconducting cables. $SF_6$ is used to pressurize and enhance the dielectric performance of a superconducting system of a sub-cooled nitrogen cooling system for superconducting cables being developed in the Republic of Korea. In this paper, dielectric experiments on AC voltage, as well as lightning impulse voltage of $SF_6$, are conducted according to various utilization factors by using several kinds of sphere-to-plane electrode systems. As results, it is known that the empirical formulae of $SF_6$, known as an electro negative gas, are derived according to various pressures and utilization factors. Also, the appropriate pressure condition for designing a high voltage superconducting coil is found from the viewpoint of dielectric performance.

In this study, we describe a low-temperature wafer-level thermocompression bonding using electroplated gold seal line and bonding pads by electroplating method for RF-MEMS devices. Silicon wafers, electroplated with gold (Au), were completely bonded at $320^{\circ}C$ for 30 min at a pressure of 2.5 MPa. The through-hole interconnection between the packaged devices and external terminal did not need metal filling process and was made by gold films deposited on the sidewall of the throughhole. This process was low-cost and short in duration. Helium leak rate, which is measured to evaluate the reliability of bonded wafers, was $2.7{\pm}0.614{\times}10^{-10}Pam^{3}/s$. The insertion loss of the CPW packaged was $-0.069{\sim}-0.085\;dB$. The difference of the insertion loss between the unpackaged and packaged CPW was less than -0.03. These values show very good RF characteristics of the packaging. Therefore, gold thermocompression bonding can be applied to high quality hermetic wafer level packaging of RF-MEMS devices.

We present three nuclear/hydrogen-related R&D activities being performed at KAIST: air-ingressed LOCA analysis code development, gas turbine analysis tool development, and hydrogen-production system analysis model development. The ICE numerical technique widely used for the safety analysis of water-reactors is successfully implemented into GAMMA, with which we solve the basic equations for continuity, momentum conservation, energy conservation of the gas mixture, and mass conservation of 6 species (He, N2, O2, CO, CO2, and H2O). GAMMA has been extensively validated using data from 14 test facilities. We developed a tool to predict the characteristics of HTGR helium turbines based on the throughflow calculation with a Newton-Raphson method that overcomes the weakness of the conventional method based on the successive iteration scheme. It is found that the current method reaches stable and quick convergence even under the off-normal condition with the same degree of accuracy. The dynamic equations for the distillation column of HI process are described with 4 material components involved in the HI process: H2O, HI, I2, H2. For the HI process we improved the Neumann model based on the NRTL (Non-Random Two-Liquid) model. The improved Neumann model predicted a total pressure with 8.6% maximum relative deviation from the data and 2.5% mean relative deviation, and liquid-liquid-separation with 9.52% maximum relative deviation from the data.
