In our previous study, a wire-plate type electrostatic precipitator (ESP) was developed to collect bioaerosols of 100 nm size. In the study, various flow rates (40 ~ 100 L/min) and applied voltages (3 ~ 10 kV) were tested for experiment. In this study, numerical analysis was performed for the ESP of the previous study with the same flow rates and applied voltages, but with varying the size of bioaerosols to 0.04 ~ 2.5 ㎛. Overall, the numerical analysis results well predicted the experimental data. Bioaerosols of 0.1 ~ 0.5 ㎛ showed the minimum collection efficiency for all conditions because of low charge number. The effect of the ionic wind generated by the corona discharge was calculated. However, the ionic wind did not affect much the collection efficiency. The aerosol collection in the ESP of this study was due to the electrostatic force generated by particle charge in the electric field. This numerical study on the ESP can be used for the design and optimization of higher flow rate (> 100 L/min) ESP.

The effect of Particle size of coating Powder and coating temperature on the Properties of coating layer was studied by calorizing(or aluminizing). The surface properties of coating layer were fully characterized, using SEM and EDXS. Coating powders were separated according to the particle size by 3 steps and the coating temperature was varied from $950^{\circ}C$ to $980^{\circ}C$. Calorizing with pack cementation method carried under Ar atmosphere for 5 hrs. Results show that the thickness and Al content of coating layer increased as the size of coating powder decreased and coating temperature increased. And pores formed on the coating layer reduced and homogeneity of coating layer increased with smaller particle size of coating powder.

Wet wire drawing of brass coated steel wire, used for tire reinforcement, is realized with Tungsten Carbide(WC) dies sintered with a cobalt(Co) binder. Dies wear represents an important limitation to the production process and cost savings. Several parameters, such as Co content, WC grain size of tungsten carbide, sintering conditions, and so on, affect on the wear of the drawing die. In this study, the effect of the diamond abrasive particle size on the life of the WC centered dies of the wet wire drawing was investigated. Wet wire drawing experiments were carried out on a wet wire drawing machine. From the experiments, the dies life, dies fracture, wire surface roughness, and wire breaks were investigated. From the results, it was found that the wear of the WC dies increased with the increase in the diamond abrasive particle size.

After alumina sol was prepared by Yoldas process supported membranes were fabricated by adding ce and Re solution and SiO2 sol into alumina sol. The particle size of alumina sol was 11 nm and it was monodispersed transparent and stable for long time. The pore size of un-doped membrane started to increase to about 7,5nm at 1000$^{\circ}C$ and it was grown to twice (about 15nm) at 1100$^{\circ}C$ However the pore size of doped alumina was uniform to 1100$^{\circ}C$. The effect of retardation of grain growth was superior in SiO2 addition to that of Ce and Ru Because SiO2 doped samples transformed to needed-like phase and densified at 1200$^{\circ}C$ their application in membranes was limited. Ce and Ru doped sample showed vermicular structure identical to the un-doped ones at 1200$^{\circ}C$ But the particle size was smaller than that of un-doped ones.

We have investigated the effects of post annealing on iron oxide nanoparticles synthesized by the novel hydrothermal synthesis method with the $FeSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$. To investigate the post annealing effect, the as-synthesized iron oxide nanoparticles were annealed at different temperatures in a vacuum chamber. The morphological, structural and magnetic properties of the iron oxide nanoparticles were investigated with high resolution X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), Mossbauer spectroscopy, and vibrating sample magnetometer analysis. According to the XRD and HRTEM analysis results, as-synthesized iron oxide nanoparticles were only magnetite ($Fe_3O_4$) phase with face-centered cubic structure but post annealed iron oxide nanoparticles at $700^{\circ}C$ were mainly magnetite phase with trivial maghemite ($\gamma-Fe_2O_3$) phase which was induced in the post annealing treatment. The crystallinity of the iron oxide nanoparticles is enhanced by the post annealing treatment. The particle size of the as-synthesized iron oxide nanoparticles was about 5 nm and the particle shape was almost spherical. But the particle size of the post annealed iron oxide nanoparticles at $700^{\circ}C$ was around 25 nm and the particle shape was spherical and irregular. The as-synthesized iron oxide nanoparticles showed superparamagnetic behavior, but post annealed iron oxide nanoparticles at $700^{\circ}C$ did not show superparamagnetic behavior due to the increase of particle size by post annealing treatment. The saturation of magnetization of the as-synthesized nanoparticles, post annealed nanoparticles at $500^{\circ}C$, and post annealed nanoparticles at $700^{\circ}C$ was found to be 3.7 emu/g, 6.1 emu/g, and 7.5 emu/g, respectively. The much smaller saturation magnetization value than one of bulk magnetite can be attributed to spin disorder and/or spin canting, spin pinning at the nanoparticle surface.

The rheological properties of slag cement pastes by effect of particle size distribution of binder were investigated using a Rheostress 1 rheometer (Haake) with a cylindrical spindle and the relationship between fluidity particle size distribution using the Rosin-Rammler equation. Samples are combined the two types of slag powder and OPC, fine slag particles sized Elaine specific surface area $8,000cm^2/g$, coarse slag particles sized Elaine specific surface area $2,000cm^2/g$, intermediate OPC particles $3,450cm^2/g$, used to search for the combination that would yield the best quality product. The all flow curves which were measured by rheometer showed hysterisis and could be classified into 4 types. When the combination was based on a ratio of 15-20 vol% fine particles, 40-50 vol% intermediate particles, 30-40 vol% coarse particles of the total volume, a high fluidity and low yield-strength was achieved. The Rosin-Rammler function can explain aboved correlation flow curve types. On type 1, the n-value had a correlation with plastic viscosity however the blend of type 2 and 3 showed consistent n-value regardless of plastic viscosity. In addition, the blend in type 4 tended to a rise in fluidity according to the increase of the n-value.

A study was carried out on the effect of particle size (mean diameter) on magnesium dust explosion. Experimental investigations were conducted in a 20-L explosion sphere, using 10 kJ chemical ignitors. Explosion tests were performed with three different dusts having mean diameter (38, 142, $567{\mu}m$) and the dust concentrations were up to $2250g/m^3$. The lower explosion limits(LEL) of magnesium dusts were about $30g/m^3$ at $38{\mu}m$ and $40g/m^3$ at $142{\mu}m$. LEL tended to increase with particle size and this means that the explosion probability of magnesium dust decreased with increase of particle size. The maximum explosion presssure ($P_m$) and $K_{st}$ (Explosion index) decreased with the increase of particle size. For magnesium powder of $567{\mu}m$, however, the explosive properties were not observed in the 5 kJ ignition energy.

The characteristics of Packsulgi were investigated with different cooking methods of conventional and pressure cookers and variation in panicle size of rice flour. The water contents of rice f1ours and Packsulgis were greater as the particle became coarser. The water contents of Packsulgis cooked with pressure cooker (P) were greater than those of conventional cooker (C). Degree of gelatinization in P was higher than that of C. There were no significant differences among the samples of P, whereas coarser f1ours tended to show higher degree of gelatinization than finer ones in C. The results of textural properties measured by rheometer showed that hardness, cohesiveness and gumminess of P was higher than that of C. The textural parameter of P increased as the particle became finer, whereas mat of C increased as the particle became coarser. L value of C was higher than that of P in me same particle size, whereas a and b value of P was higher than that of C. L and a value of both P and C increased as the particle became finer. b value in P increased as the particle became coarser, whereas mat in C increased as the particle became finer. According to me sensory evaluation, the appearance of C was more acceptable man that of P, whereas the texture of P was more acceptable than mat of C. There were no significant differences in overall quality among P and c and Packsulgis made by 60, 100 mesh rice f1our had higher acceptability than others.

The rheological properties of sugar and cocoa particle suspensions in cocoa butter under molten condition were analyzed with Haake rotationary viscometer. Both suspensions had yield value and showed rheopexy at low shear rate and thixotropy at high shear rate. Flow behaviors of the suspensions were analyzed with modified Casson model. Casson viscosity and yield value increased with increasing the concentration of sugar and cocoa particles. There was an obvious dependence of the Casson viscosity and yield value on the particle size distributions that was represented by the Sauter mean diameter of the particles. Casson viscosity and yield value of cocoa butter-sugar suspension increased with increasing the fineness of sugar particle crystal. With increasing the fineness of cocoa particle a decreasing Casson viscosity of cocoa butter-cocoa particle suspension was achieved, but the yield value did not change significantly with cocoa particle size. Therefore, it was predicted that the best rheological properties of chocolate could be obtained with the combination of coarse ground sugar $(d=36.30{\mu}m)$ and fine ground cocoa particle $(d=14.81{\mu}m)$ within the studied range.
