Herein, we investigated the thermal conductivity and thermal stability of natural rubber composite systems containing hybrid fillers of boron nitride (BN) and aluminum nitride (AlN). In the hybrid system, the bimodal distribution of polygonal AlN and planar BN particles provided excellent filler-packing efficiency and desired energy path for phonon transfer, resulting in high thermal conductivity of 1.29 W/mK, which could not be achieved by single filler composites. Further, polyethylene glycol (PEG) was compounded with a commonly used naphthenic oil, which substantially increased thermal conductivity to 3.51 W/mK with an excellent thermal stability due to facilitated energy transfer across the filler-filler interface. The resulting PEG-incorporated hybrid composite showed a high thermal degradation temperature (T₂) of 290℃, a low coefficient of thermal expansion of 26.4 ppm/℃, and a low thermal distortion parameter of 7.53 m/K, which is well over the naphthenic oil compound. Finally, using the Fourier's law of conduction, we suggested a modeling methodology to evaluate the cooling performance in thermal management system.

자동차산업에 있어서 FTA는 매우 중요한 무역정책 중 하나이다. 자동차산업이 국가의 고용과 생산에서 차지하는 비중이 큰 만큼 대부분의 국가들이 취하는 보호무역조치가 자동차산업을 타깃으로 하는 사례가 많기 때문이다. 이러한 관점에서 한 콜롬비아 FTA를 비롯해 한 페루 FTA와 한 칠레 FTA 등 대(對) 중남미 FTA 전략은 우리나라 자동차산업 발전에 시사 하는 바가 매우 크다 할 수 있다. 본 논문은 한 칠레 FTA의 체결 전후의 자동차 수출 영향요인 변화 분석을 통해 중남미 자동차 수출 전망을 예측하고 대응 방안을 모색하는 데 목적이 있다. 연구결과 '환율', 'GDP', '유가' 등 요인 변수 중 'GDP'가 FTA 이전과 이후 모두 수출 성과와 강한 상관관계를 보였으며, 회귀분석에서도 'GDP'만이 수출성과에 영향을 미치며, 특히 FTA 발효 이후 영향력이 더욱 높아진 것으로 나타났다. 이는 중남미 자동차 수출에 FTA 효과도 중요하지만 현지 국의 경제상황과 강력히 연동하고 있다는 점을 시사하고 있어 현지 생산 체제 구축 등 이에 대한 대응 방안 모색이 요구된다.

Aircraft hydraulic oil reservoirs made with aluminum 7075 have an anodized coating to enable airtightness and corrosion resistance. To maintain a stable oil pressure, the internal surface roughness of the reservoir should be less than approximately 0.2 ㎛. To this end, precision polishing must be performed. However, ensuring the processing quality is challenging, as most polishing operations are performed manually, owing to which, the inner surface roughness is not uniform, and the product quality is irregular. Therefore, we developed a special superfinishing machine to realize the efficient inner polishing of an aircraft hydraulic oil reservoir, by using an abrasive film to improve the process throughput and uniformity. In the experiment involving the superfinishing of an anodized aluminum 7075 cylinder specimen by using the proposed machine, a higher surface roughness than that achieved in the repetitive manual polishing process could be realized.

An experimental study was conducted to evaluate characteristic variation of diluted engine oils in which contains diesel fuels and its tribological effects on engine components. In this study, diluted engine oils with $10\%,\;15\%,\;and\;20\%$ of initial fuel content rate have been used for measuring the viscosity reduction rate, blow-by gas increment rate, main gallery pressure reduction rate, and fuel content rate in engine oils. These parameters are strongly related to the tribological characteristics of key engine components. The kinematic viscosity of engine oils in which is contained by diesel fuels from $10\%\;to\;20\%$ in oils is decreasing to approximately $54\%$ of initial diluted fuel-oil volume ratios. The experimental results show that the distillated engine oil decrease the viscosity of engine oil and its oil film stiffness, and increase the wear rate of rubbing parts of engine components. Thus we recommend that the containing volume rate of fuels in engine oils should be restricted to $3\~4\%$ for a sophisticated Diesel engine and $5\~7\%$ for a standard one.

The application of advanced oxidation for the treatment of oil refinery wastewater under UV radiation by using nanoparticles of titanium dioxide was investigated. Synthetic wastewater prepared from phenol crystals; Power Glide SAE40 motor vehicle oil and water was used. Response surface methodology (RSM) based on the Box-Behnken design was employed to design the experimental runs, optimize and study the interaction effects of the operating parameters including catalyst concentration, run time and airflow rate to maximize the degradation of oil (SOG) and phenol. The analysis of variance and the response models developed were used to evaluate the data obtained at a 95% confidence level. The use of the RSM demonstrated the graphical relationship that exists between individual factors and their interactive effects on the response, as compared to the one factor at time approach. The obtained optimum conditions of photocatalytic degradation are the catalyst concentration of 2 g/L, the run time of 30 min and the airflow rate of 1.04 L/min. Under the optimum conditions, a 68% desirability performance was obtained, representing 81% and 66% of SOG and phenol degradability, respectively. Thus, the hydrocarbon oils were readily degradable, while the phenols were more resistant to photocatalytic degradation.

Background: In pediatric dentistry, fear and anxiety are common among children. Local anesthetics (LA) are widely used to control pain and reduce discomfort in children during dental treatment. Topical anesthetics play a vital role in reducing pain and the unpleasant sensation of a needle puncture in children. Peppermint oil has been extensively used for various diseases. However, its anesthetic properties remain unknown. Peppermint oil, used in mouthwashes, toothpastes, and other topical preparations has analgesic, anesthetic, and antiseptic properties. This study aimed to compare and evaluate pain perception following the topical application of peppermint oil versus lignocaine spray before an intraoral injection in children, aged 8-13 years. Method: Fifty-two children, aged between 8-13 years, who required local anesthesia for dental treatment were divided into two groups of 26 each by simple random sampling (Group 1: 0.2% peppermint oil and Group 2: lignocaine spray). In both groups, physiological measurements (e.g., heart rate) were recorded using pulse oximetry before, during, and after the procedure. Objective pain measurement (Sound Eye Motor (SEM) scale) during administration and subjective measuremeant (Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale (WBFPRS)) after LA administration were recorded. This was followed by the required treatment of the child. Physiological parameters were compared between the two groups using an independent t-test for intergroup assessment and a paired t-test and repeated-measures ANOVA for intragroup comparisons. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to analyze the pain scores. Results: Intragroup mean heart rates, before, during, and after treatment were statistically significantly different (P < 0.05). However, the intergroup mean pulse rates did not differ significantly between the two groups. The mean WBFPS score in the lignocaine spray group was 4.133 ± 2.06 was statistically different from that of the peppermint oil group (0.933 ± 1.03; P < 0.001^*). The mean SEM score was significantly lower in the peppermint oil group than that in the lignocaine spray group (P = 0.006). No negative effects were observed in this study. Conclusion: 0.2% peppermint oil was effective in reducing pain perception.

The hydraulic-oil pump is widely used for building machinery, brake systems of vehicles and automatic control systems due to its high dynamic force and smooth linear force control performance. This paper presents a novel direct instantaneous pressure control of the hydraulic pump system with SRM drive. The proposed hydraulic pump system embeds the pressure controller and direct instantaneous torque controller. Due to the proportional relationship between pump pressure and torque, pressure can be controlled by the motor torque directly. The proposed direct torque controller can reduce inherent torque ripple of SRM, and develop a smooth torque, which can increase the stability of the hydraulic pump. The proposed hydraulic pump system has also fast step response and load response. The proposed hydraulic pump system is verified by computer simulation and experimental results.

This paper shows the temperature characteristics of a high speed angular contact ball gearing which is 7004C type with ISO P2 tolerance class. A built-in motor type high speed spindle which adopts an oil-air lubrication system was used to measure the temperature rise up to 60,000rpm. The gearing temperature was measured using thermocouples that were attached to the outside surfaces of the outer rings. The result showed that the continuous test method which was suggested in this paper is more effective than on and off method and the lubrication oil supply rate should be reduced in high speed rolling bearings as long as the seizure does not occur. And the result were confirmed that the bearings packed with ceramic balls are superior to those with steel balls in temperature characteristics.

The CARB in USA has demanded OBD functions that detect any deterioration of performance of OTS as well as a simple defect of OTS which can affect emission to meet the reinforced emission regulation. In this paper, OTS plausibility monitoring functions to meet the demand from CARB are discussed. The output from OTS is used for the diagnostics of the torque converter clutch stuck and the gear ratio synchronous error. It is possible to diagnose the abnormality of OTS function by considering the oil temperature characteristics which changes according to the driving status of vehicles. In result, the OBD regulations of the CARB can be satisfied obligating car manufacturer to detect any problems in OTS functions which can affect emissions.
