In the very high temperature reactor (VHTR), which is a next generation nuclear reactor system, ceramics are used as a fuel coating material and graphite is used as a core structural material. Even if a depressurization accident occurs and the reactor power goes up instantly, the temperature of the core will change only slowly. This is because the thermal capacity of the core is so high. Therefore, the VHTR system can passively remove the decay heat of the core by natural convection and radiation from the surface of the reactor pressure vessel. The objectives of this study are to investigate the heat transfer characteristics of natural convection of a one-side heated vertical channel with inserted porous materials of high porosity and also to develop the passive cooling system for the VHTR. An experiment was carried out using a one-side heated vertical rectangular channel. To obtain the heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics of the vertical channel with inserted porous material, we have also carried out a numerical analysis using a commercial Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) code. This paper describes the thermal performances of the one-side heated vertical rectangular channel with an inserted copper wire of high porosity.

BaTiO$_3$ 분말에 흑연 분말을 첨가하여 BaTiO$_3$계 가스센서용 다공성 감지물을 제조하였으며, 이 감지물의 결정구조와 미세구조를 연구하였다. 이 감지물 소성체는 정방정 perovskite 결정구조를 가지고 있었다 흑연 분말의 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 소성체의 기공도가 증가하였다. 이것은 소성 시 흑연 분말과 산소가 발열반응하여 CO 및 $CO_2$ 가스를 생성하고, 이 가스가 휘발하였기 때문이라고 생각된다. 제조한 BaTiO$_3$계 소성체는 대기에서 측정한 저항과 CO 가스에서 측정한 저항이 고온( >∼20$0^{\circ}C$)에서 큰 차이를 나타내고 있으며 온도가 증가함에 따라 차이가 커짐을 관찰하였다. 소성체 기공도의 증가에 따른 반응 site의 증가로 인하여 소성체의 표면흡착기인 $O_2$$^{-}$와 CO 가스의 반응과, 소성체에 있는 $O^{-}$와 CO 가스의 반응이 활발하기 때문에 CO 가스의 민감도가 크게 증가하였다. 본 연구에서 제조된 다공성 BaTiO$_3$계 세라믹스는 CO 가스센서의 감지물 재료로써 유망하다고 생각된다.

Removal of ammonia using the porous ceramic biofilter inoculated with earthworm casts was characterized. By assuming a plug air flow in the biofilter and applying the Michaelis-Menten equation, the maximum removal rate of $NH_3$ was $280.7g-N{\cdot}m^{-3}{\cdot}h^{-1}$($18.0g-N{\cdot}kg^{-1}{\cdot}d^{-1}$) at $30^{\circ}C$. $NH_3$ removal rate was increased as temperature increases from $15^{\circ}C$ to $35^{\circ}C$. The maximum removal rate was $285.8g-N{\cdot}m^{-3}{\cdot}h^{-1}$($18.8g-N{\cdot}kg^{-1}{\cdot}d^{-1}$) at $35^{\circ}C$. At $15^{\circ}C$, the $NH_3$ removal rate was $122.8g-N{\cdot}m^{-3}{\cdot}h^{-1}$($8.1g-N{\cdot}kg^{-1}{\cdot}d^{-1}$). When 210 ppm $NH_3$ was supplied to the biofilter at space velocity of $220h^{-1}$, the removal efficiency of $NH_3$ at 15, 25, 30 and $35^{\circ}C$ was 80, 90, 95, and 96%, respectively. The removal rate of the ceramic biofilter was 3 to 15 times higher than other biofilters comparing the removal efficiency of $NH_3$ per unit volume of carrier. This result indicates that earthworm casts and porous ceramics are very good inoculum source and carrier, respectively, for the $NH_3$-degrading biofilter.

수계슬러리의 동결건조 공정을 이용하여 배향성 기공을 갖는 NiO-YSZ 지지체를 제조하였다. 슬러리의 동결과정에서 형성된 얼음 결정은 진공건조 과정을 거치면서 승화되어 그 자리에 기공을 형성하였으며. 열전달 방향과 속도를 조절함으로써 얼음결정의 성장을 제어할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 제조된 NiO-YSZ 지지체는 배향성을 가진 거대(macro) 기공과 함께 표면에는 미세기공이 존재하는 독특한 기공구조를 형성하였다. 이것은 동결과정에 있어서 성형체의 위치에 따라 얼음의 성장속도가 다르기 때문에 발생하는 현상으로 생각된다. 얻어진 다공체 표면에 YSZ 슬러리를 dip 코팅하여 막을 형성한 후 140$0^{\circ}C$에서 동시소성(co-firing)하여 다공성 NiO-YSZ 지지체의 표면에 치밀한 YSZ 막이 코팅된 bilayer 제조에 성공하였다.

Al₂O₃ 다공체는 필터 및 촉매 담체 등으로 활용되며 그 기능성과 내구성을 확보하기 위해서는 다공성 구조의 기계적 강도가 중요하다. 소결 중 치밀화 및 입자성장을 유리하게 제어하는 것이 기계적 강도 향상에 필수적이며, 본 연구에서는 그 일환으로 La을 첨가하여 동결주조로 성형된 Al₂O₃ 다공체의 입자성장 양상을 분석하였다. 즉, 250 ppm의 La을 첨가한 계에서 1400℃에서 1600℃에 이르는 온도 범위 내에서 소결 시간 및 온도에 대한 평균입도 변화를 관찰하여 G_tⁿ-G₀ⁿ = kt 관계로부터 exponent(n 값)은 3으로, k = k₀exp(-E_a/RT)로부터 입자성장에 대한 활성화 에너지(E_a)는 489.09 kJ/mol로 각각 계산되었다. 이러한 결과는 입자성장에 대한 La의 첨가 효과를 나타내며, La이 Al₂O₃의 입계 이동속도를 늦춰 입자성장의 억제에 효과가 있음을 방증하므로 기계적 강도에 이롭다. 한편, 향후 원료 분말에 함께 포함되어 있는 미량의 불순물 작용을 관찰하면 La의 기여를 명확히 구분할 수 있으며, 이러한 접근은 향후 다공성 Al₂O₃에서 입자성장을 제어하는데 사용될 수 있는 첨가제를 선택하는 데 유용하게 사용될 수 있다.

Calcium phosphate ceramics have been applied intensively to orthopaedic and dental implants by virtue of their osteoconductive nature. In an attempt to enhance the bone implant intergrity and Eta utility, these ceramics are deposited onto the porous surface of metallic implants. The coating procedure and the ensuing phase transformations of the ceramic alter the mechanical properties and surface chemistry of the ceramic layers as well as those of the substrate. These structural and compositional differences are directly related to the interaction mechanisms at the surface-active ceramicbone interface. Material and processing induced influences on dissolution, electrokinetic behavior, ceramic-metallic substrate interface and boRe growth enhancement are presented.

Ceramic membranes of the supported $TiO_2-CeO_2$ were prepared by dip-coating method on an $\alpha-Al_2O_3$ porous substrate. The mean pore diameter of an alumina support was 0.125 um. The mean particle diameter of $TiO_2-CeO_2$ top layer varied with firing temperature and ranged from 20 to 85 nm. The thermal stability of the composite membranes was studied from their surface microstructure after calcination at $600-900^{\circ}C$. The supported $TiO_2-CeO_2$ composite membranes exhibited much higher heat resistance than the $TiO_2$ membrane.

The microwave dielectric properties of the complex perovskite (Pb0.5Ca0.5)(Fe0.5Ta0.5)O3 ceramics were investigated with the porosity and the dielectric mixing rule. Assuming that the specimens were mixtures of real dielectrics and pores, with 3-0 connectivity, the ionic polarizabilities modified by Maxwell's equation were more close to the theoretical values rather than those modified by Wiener's equation in porous specimens. The theoretical dielectirc loss were obtained with the infrared reflectivity spectra from 50 to 4000cm-1, which were calculated by Kramers-Kronig analysis and classical osciallator model. The relative tendency of dielectric loss calculated from the theoretical value and Maxwell's equation in the specimens with different porosities was in good agreement with the one by the post resonant method.

In order to develope hydroxyapatite ceramics which has mechanical strength as bio-implant materials and get the basic data for the study and application of biocompatibility, hydroxyapatite was synthesized at Ca/P=1.67~1.75, pH 7~11 by precipitation method. Using prepared powders, the sintered body, fluorine substituted body and the porous body was formed and their properties were investigated. The sample obtained in condition of Ca/P=1.67, pH 7 and sintering at 1,15$0^{\circ}C$ was decomposed to $\beta$-tricalcium phosphate, and co-existed with hydroxyapatite. Hydroxyapatite synthesized at pH 11 was not easily decomposed to $\beta$-tricalcium phosphate at sintering process. The substitution of a small amount of fluorine for hydroxyapatite prevented hydroxyapatite from being decompsed to $\beta$-tricalcium phosphate. Hydroxyapatite ceramics which substited of 10% fluorine was prepared at 1,15$0^{\circ}C$, and the valueof bending strength for this body were found to be 112MPa.

$TiB_2$ ceramics were oxidized at 800, 900 and $1000^{\circ}C$ in air for 40 hr, and their oxidation property was investigated using TGA, XRD, SEM and EPMA. The oxidation resistance decreased with an increase in oxidation temperature. The scale was essentially composed of $TiO_2$ only. $B_2$$O_3$ formed during oxidation escaped from the $TiO_2$ oxide scale owing to its high vapor pressure. This made the oxide scale highly porous and thick. The oxidation reaction was mainly governed by the inward transport of oxygen.$ TiO_2$ existing at the outermost scale grew into peculiarly shaped blades, as the reaction progressed.
