This paper presents an efficiency of various non-conforming (NC) modes in development of a series of new finite elements with the special emphasis on 4-node quadrilateral elements. The NC modes have been used as a key scheme to improve the behaviors of various types of new finite elements, i.e., Mindlin plate bending elements, membrane elements with drilling degrees of freedom, flat shell elements. The NC modes are classified into three groups according to the 'correction constants' of 'Direct Modification Method'. The first group is 'basic NC modes', which have been widely used by a number of researchers in the finite element communities. The basic NC modes are effective to improve the behaviors of regular shaped elements. The second group is 'hierarchical NC modes' which improve the behaviors of distorted elements effectively. The last group is 'higher order NC modes' which improve the behaviors of plate-bending elements. When the basic NC modes are combined with hierarchical or higher order NC modes, the elements become insensitive to mesh distortions. When the membrane component of a flat shell has 'hierarchical NC modes', the membrane locking can be suppressed. A number of numerical tests are carried out to show the positive effect of aforementioned various NC modes incorporated into various types of finite elements.

본 실험에서는 황산용액에서 전기화학적으로 금속 알루미늄판을 양극산화하여 원통형 세공구조를 갖고 있는 alumina막을 형성시켰다. 양극화에 사용된 알루미늄 시료는 전해연마, 화학연마 및 열산화와 같은 전처리 공정을 거쳐서 준비하였으며, 형성된 알루미나막의 세공분포와 두께 등을 SEM과 BET를 사용하여 조사하였다. 그 결과 산화피막이 Keller모델과 같은 기하 구조로 이루어져 있으며. 균일한 세공 분포를 지니고 있음을 볼 수 있었다. 그리고 산화막의 세공크기와 두께는 황산전해질의 농도, 반응온도 그리고 전류밀도와 같은 양극산화 공정변수에 의존함을 알수 있었다.

NaCl과 sucrose 용액을 역삼투용 워난틀형 모듈에 공겁하여 투과실험하였으며 Kimura-Sourirajan[8]이 제안한 방법으로 분리성능을 분석하였다. 사용한 분리막의 순수투과계수는 압력에 무관하게 $2.17 \times 10^{-6}$(gmol/$cm^2$-sec-bar)로 일정하게 유지되었다. Sucrose 용액의 농도분극화 현상은 NaCl 용액보다 심각하였으며 40bar 이상에서는 압력이 증가함에 따라서 오히려 투과선속이 감소하였다. 용질 배제율은 NaCl 수용액의 경우 압력이 증가함에 따라서 감소하였으나 sucrose 수용액의 경우는 압력에 따라서 배제율도 증가하였다.

The objective of this study was to examine the recovery of the power plant cooling tower blowdown water (CTBD) by membrane distillation. The experiments were carried out using a flat plate poly vinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane with a pore diameter of $0.22{\mu}m$ by a direct contact membrane distillation unit (DCMD). The effects of operating parameters such as transmembrane temperature difference (${\Delta}T$), circulation rate and operating time on permeate flux and membrane fouling have been investigated. The results indicated that permeate flux increased with increasing ${\Delta}T$ and circulation rate. Whereas maximum permeate flux was determined as $47.4L/m^2{\cdot}h$ at ${\Delta}T$ of $50^{\circ}C$ for all short term experiments, minimum permeate flux was determined as $7.7L/m^2{\cdot}h$ at ${\Delta}T$ of $20^{\circ}C$. While $40^{\circ}C$ was determined as the optimum ${\Delta}T$ in long term experiments. Inorganic and non-volatile substances caused fouling in the membranes.

The development of bipolar plate having high efficiency and chemical properties has a major impact on fuel cell applications commercialization. Even though graphite bipolar plate has high electric conductivity and chemical resistance, it has demerits about mass production and brittle property for commercialization. Hence, metallic bipolar plate can be substitute for fuel cell bipolar plate. Although its inadequate corrosion behavior under PEMFC environment lead to a deterioration of membrane by dissolved metal ions, metallic bipolar plate for PEMFC is more suitable for automotive and residential power generation system because of its high mechanical strength, low gas permeability and applicability to mass production. Therefore, several types of coating has been applied to prevent corrosion and oxide film growth and to achieve more high durability. This work presents durability of coated metal bipolar plate for low temperature PEMFC which made for fuel cell vehicle. This results showed surface treatment increase long-term durability, even electric conductivity and corrosion resistance.

본 연구에서는 평판형 모듈 설계의 최적화를 목적으로 원액 흐름 조건에 따른 모듈내 원액 온도 및 유속 분포를 예측할 수 있는 모델식을 확립하고 전산모사(simulation)를 통해 흐름 조건들이 온도 분포에 끼치는 영향들을 조사하였으며 이들의 결과를 모듈설계에 반영하고자 하였다. 확립된 모델식의 타당성을 확인하기 위하여 최소한의 실험을 행하여 실험치와 모델치를 비교하였다. 또한 개발된 새로운 구조를 지니는 평판형 막모듈에 상용화된 막과 국내에서 개발된 막을 장착하여 모듈 내에서의 온도감소 현상을 실험적으로 비교하였다.

Single cell of PEMFC (polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell) is composed of bipolar plates, gasket, GDL and the MEA. Bipolar plate's function is the collecting electricity, helping oxygen/hydrogen gas diffuse evenly and draining the water and heat. In this work, we have conducted experiments to low contact resistance and improve the performance of a $25cm^2$ single cell by using metal forms. We have following experimental cases: 1) Conventional graphite serpentine channel bipolar plate; 2) Channel-less bipolar plate with nickel(Ni) based metal foam which coated by various materials. We focused the difference in contact resistance and performance of the single cell with metal foam depending on various coating materials. The experimental results show the similar performance of single cells between with serpentine channel bipolar plates and with channel-less bipolar plate using metal foams. In addition, single cell with metal foam shows potential to higher performance than conventional channel.

난배양성 미생물의 배양과 보다 다양한 미생물의 분리를 위하여 Filter plate microbial trap (FPMT)을 개발하였고, 이 장치를 사용하여 Greenland의 토양에서 세균을 분리하였다. FPMT는 배지와 하단부의 membrane filter(0.45 ${\mu}m$ pore size)로 구성되어 있다. 시료에 포함된 세균과 화학물질이 FPMT 내로 이동하고, 세균이 증식하는 원리이다. 그 결과, FPMT를 이용한 새로운 in situ 배양방법을 통해 통상적인 Petri dish 배양방법보다 더 많은 종과 기존의 방법으로는 배양할 수 없는 세균을 분리하였다. 이 장치는 앞으로 다양한 환경에서 난배양성 미생물을 분리하는데 유용함을 확인하였다.

Research on High temperature polymer electrolyte fuel cell (HT-PEMFC) has actively been conducted all over the world. Since the HT-PEMFC can be operated at a high temperature of $120-180^{\circ}C$ using phosphoric acid-doped polybenzimidazole (PBI) electrolyte membrane, it has considerable advantages over conventional PEMFC in terms of operating conditions and system efficiency. However, If the thermal distribution is not uniform in the stack unit, degradation due to local reaction and deterioration of lifetime are difficult to prevent. The thin plate separator reduces the volume of the fuel cell stack and improves heat transfer, consequently, enhancing the cooling effect. In this paper, a large area flow field of thin plate separator for HT-PEMFC is designed and sub-stack is fabricated. We have studied stack performance evaluation under various operating conditions and it has been verified that the proposed design can achieve acceptable stack performance at a wide operating range.

The catalyst layer design is one of the most important factors to enhance the performance of PEMFC(Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell) system. The hydrophobic and ion conductive type is studied for the MEA(Membrane Electrolyte Assembly). It is found that those have some limitations for performance enhancement when they are used separately. Thus, the dual catalyst type, a mixed model, is developed for the better MEA performance. In the meantime, the design of flow field plate is subsequently carried out in order to give more enhanced output during its operation. The conductivity of flow field plate showed better performance in the case of manufactured by the more compressed process(20MPa) than by the less compressed process(10MPa). The micro-structure of the flow field plate is examined in details using SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope) to analyse the effects on the different compression processes.
