In car refinishing, the paint film characteristics of clear coat play an important role in appearance quality. Thus, Primarily in this research, the variance of brightness with the change of the thickness of paint film is investigated. Besides, as changing the thickness of paint film, the correlation between surface leveling(which is one of appearance characteristics) is investigated in this research. Throughout this investigation, we come to know that the increase of clear coat paint film thickness leads the improvement of appearance characteristics within specific range of thickness. Furthermore, the fact that too thick paint film does not increase the brightness or appearance characteristic any more is known. The optimum thickness of clear coat film for the best and appearance characteristics is derived from this research and more efficient way of determining optimum thickness of paint film is found. Particularly, haze value and waviness have more influence on vividness than brightness. Throughout all experiments, the appearance characteristics are much better at painted horizontally than vertically. These results are derived due to the facts that to obtain the same paint film thickness at painted vertically with painted horizontally is difficult and the way of vertical painting is different from horizontal painting. Therefore, the improvement of vertical painting and horizontal painting are required.

An experimental study was performed to discover the tribological behaviors of pure silver coated 52100 bearing steel. Pure silver coatings ranging from 80 nm to several micrometers were produced by a thermal evaporation coating method. Experiments using a thrust ball bearing-typed rolling test-rig were performed for the investigations of the influence of coating thickness on the tribological rolling behavior. The existence of optimum film thickness which revealed minimum rolling resistance was discovered. A careful analysis on the contact surfaces for the optimum film thickness has been performed. The contact patches produced by the transferred silver films played an important role for the rolling resistance to keep low.

This experiment was carried out to select the optimum thickness of polyethylene film for the nonastringency of astringent persimmon fruits during modified atmosphere(MA) storage of Cheongdo Bansi kept at 0$^{\circ}C$. The experimental plots were divided into 5 plots by film thickness(0.08, 0.10, 0.12, 0.14 and 0.16mm). The experimental items were the changes in concentration of CO2 and O2 in film brig, soluble tannin contents, loss of weight firmness and external appearance of fruits. The nonastringency of persimmon fruits can be achieved all groups excepting the 0.08mm film during MA storage. The sweet persimmon in film bag of 0.10 and 0.12mm maintained a high quality and firmness, but following the deastringency the fruits in 0.14 and 0.16mm developed off-color. The increasing of carbon dioxide level and decreasing of oxygen level in film bag created anaerobic condition at earth stage, and then it kept a constant level during stooge. According to film thickness the obvious difference in the change of soluble tannin contents external appearance and firmness were observed. It could be concluded that the optimum thickness of film for the desirable nonastringency on Cheongdo Bansi was 0.10mm.

Pd-doped SnO2 thin films for hydrogen gas sensing were fabricated by reactive fo magnetron sputtering and were studied on effects of film thickness and Pd doping content. Pd doping caused the optimum sensor operation temperature to reduce down to ~25$0^{\circ}C$ and also enhanced gas sensitivity, compared with undoped SnO2 film. Gas sensitivity depended on the film thickness. The sensitivity increased with decreasing the film thickness, showing maximum sensitivities at the thickness of 730$\AA$ and 300~400$\AA$ for the undoped SnO2 and the Pd-doped SnO2 film, respectively. Further decrease of the film thickness beyond these thickness ranges, however, resulted in the reduction of sensitivity again.

To analyze the film cooling in a liquid rocket engine, it is necessary to understand the characteristics of the wall-impingement liquid film. We designed an optimal two-dimensional device for measuring the thickness of the liquid film thickness. This device quantitatively measures the liquid-film thickness distribution. In previous liquid-film thickness measuring devices, the liquid film was formed over the entire area of the sensor. However, its formation depended on injection conditions. To compensate for this, optimal resistors are selected. Additionally, saturation variations with partial saturation are analyzed. Furthermore, calibration using the enhanced plate method is conducted with improvements in spatial resolution. The device designed here can be used to analyze the properties of an impingement liquid film with a slit injector. This study can be used for film-cooling analysis in liquid rocket engines.

Recently, the manufacturing of micro-cavity by means of laser surface texturing (LST) technique and low friction study by the LST have been in great progress. Most of current works have been dealing with the effect of cavity on friction and wear. The main objective of the present study was to investigate numerically two-dimensional lubrication characteristics of micro-dimple shapes fabricated on solid surfaces, and this study utilized the commercial CFD code (Fluent V.6.3). For the evaluation, preliminary simulation was conducted and numerical predictions were compared with the analytic solution obtained from the Reynolds's equation. Mainly, the present study investigated the influence of dimple depth, pattern shapes, and film thickness on lubrication characteristics related to the reduction of friction. It is found that the existence of micro-dimpled surface makes it possible to substantially reduce the friction forces exerted on the surfaces. In particular, substantial decrease in shear stresses was observed as the lubricant film thickness decreases. For instance, in the case of the film thickness of 0.01 mm, the estimated shear stress decreases up to about 40%. It indicates that the film thickness would be important factor in designing the micro-dimpled surfaces. Furthermore, it was observed that such a optimum dimple depth would be present because the dimple depth larger than the optimum value did no longer affect the reduction in shear stresses.

The multi-dielectric layer SiOz/Si3N4/SiO2(ONO) is used to scale down the memory device. In this paper, the change of composition in ONO layer due to the process condition and the conduction mechanism are observed. The composition of the oxide film grown through the oxidation of nitride film is analyzed using auger electron spectroscopy(AES). AES results show that oxygen concentration increases at the interface between oxide and nitride layers as the thickness -of the top oxide layer increases. Results of I-V measurement show that the insulating properties improve as the thickness of the top oxide layer increases. But when the thickness of the nitride layer decreases below 63.angs, insulating peoperties of film 28.angs. of top oxide and film 35.angs. turn over showing that insulating property of film 28.angs. of top oxide is better than that of film 35.angs. of top oxide. This phenomenon of turn over is thought as the result of generation of surface state due to oxygen flow into nitride during oxidation process. As the thickness of the top oxide and nitride increases, the electrical breakdown field increases, but when the thickness of top oxide reaches 35.angs, the same phenomenon of turn over occurs. Optimum film thickness for scaled multi-layer dielectric of memory device SONOS is estimated to be 63.angs. of nitride layer and 28.angs. of top oxide layer. In this case, maximum electrical breakdown field and leakage current are 18.5[MV/cm] and $8{\times}{10^-12}$[A], respectively.

An influence of inlet pressure on the performance of sector-shaped pad thrust bearings is investigated theoretically. The optimum conditions of film thickness or the optimum positions of pivot are found through the evaluation of load capacity for all available conditions of film thickness, under the operating conditions which the thermal and pad deformation effects can be neglected. The bearing performance including the inlet pressure effects is obtained for a wide operating ranges that inertia parameter(Re$^{*}$) is up to unity, and for the various cases of pad extent angle (number of pad) and the three cases of the angle between pads. The results show that the inlet pressure has a large influence on the performance of sector-shaped pad thrust bearings. In the design of sector-shaped pad bearings, due to the inlet pressure, the optimum number of pad is varied with the operating speed and the angle between pads, and the optimum position of pivot is located toward the leading edge along with the operating speed increases.
