Understanding the tritium release and retention behavior of candidate tritium breeder materials is crucial for breeder blanket design. Recently, a melt spraying process was developed to prepare Li₄SiO₄ pebbles, which were subsequently subjected to the in-pile tritium production and extraction platform in China Mianyang Research Reactor (CMRR) to investigate their in-situ tritium release behavior and irradiation performance. The results demonstrate that HT is the main tritium release form, and adding hydrogen to the purge gas reduces tritium retention while increasing the HT percent in the purge gas. Post-irradiation experiments reveal that the irradiated pebbles darken in color and their grains swell, but the mechanical properties remain largely unchanged. It is concluded that the tritium residence time of Li₄SiO₄ made by melt spraying method at 467 ℃ is approximately 23.34 h. High-density Li₄SiO₄ pebbles exhibit tritium release at relatively low temperatures (<600 ℃) that is mainly controlled by bulk diffusion. The diffusion coefficient at 525 ℃ and 550 ℃ is 1.19 × 10^-11 cm²/s and 5.34 × 10^-11 cm²/s, respectively, with corresponding tritium residence times of 21.3 hours and 4.7 hours.

본 연구는 편백나무 정유를 70% 함유한 FC-S 살포액을 배율별로 희석하여 살포시에 닭진드기 제거와 안전성에 미치는 영향을 구명하고자 실행하였다. 닭진드기에 감염된 산란계 300수를 5개 처리구와 5반복 반복당 12수씩 18일간 배치하였다. 각 처리구의 살포액은 FC-S를 0배(원액, FC-S 0), 50배(FC-S 50) 및 100배(FC-S 100)로 희석한 시료와 증류수(NC) 및 시중에서 판매되는 천연살충제(PC)를 이용하였다. 닭진드기 숫자, 산란율, 난중은 매일 확인하였고, 계란품질과 혈액성상은 사양실험 종료 후 측정하였다. 안전성 검사를 위하여 산란계의 사료섭취, 호흡기증상, 침울, 설사 및 폐사 증상을 확인하였다. 본 연구결과, FC-S 0을 살포시에 80% 이상의 닭진드기가 제거되었으며(P<0.01), FC-S 50 처리구도 PC 처리구보다 개선되었다. FC-S 100 처리구는 PC 처리구보다 진드기 제거에 미치는 영향이 적었지만, NC 처리구에 비하여 닭진드기 제거는 매우 개선되었다(P<0.01). FC-S를 살포한 후 산란계의 생산성, 계란품질, 혈액성상 및 안전성에 미치는 영향은 처리구간에 유사하였으며, 통계적 차이가 없었다. 본 연구결과, FC-S의 살포는 산란계에 미치는 영향은 없었으므로, 닭진드기에만 선택적으로 작용하였다고 사료되며, FC-S 0~50배 희석배율의 살포는 상용화되어 판매되는 살포액보다 효과적으로 닭진드기를 제거하였다.

불용성 산화 전극은 전기화학적 수처리 공정에 있어 가장 핵심적인 소재이며, 이를 이용하여 난분해성 유기물질을 분해하는 방법으로 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 이러한 불용성 산화 전극 제조에 있어 금속 기판 표면에 코팅하는 금속 촉매의 종류, 코팅 방식, 소결 방법 등의 다양한 제조 변수가 불용성 산화 전극의 성능 및 내구성에 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 Ir-Ru-Ta 삼원 금속 코팅을 활용하여 동일한 전 처리 및 소결 조건에서 코팅 방법에 따라 불용성 산화 전극을 제조하고 이의 성능과 내구성을 연구하였다. 코팅 방식은 브러쉬 및 스프레이 코팅법을 활용하였으며, 그 결과 최적화된 스프레이 코팅 조건에서 동일한 촉매 잉크양으로 더 많은 금속을 Ti 기판 표면에 코팅이 가능하여 촉매 잉크 저감이 가능한 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 전극 표면의 갈라짐 현상 및 삼원 금속의 균일한 도포에 의해 스프레이 코팅법으로 제조한 Spray_2.0_3.0 전극이 가장 높은 전기화학적 활성 비표면적을 보여주었으며, 4-chlorophenol의 분해 성능이 타 전극에 비해 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 하지만, 불용성 산화전극의 내구성은 전극의 코팅방법에 따라 큰 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다.

The aim of this paper is to determine temperature and stress distributions in a ceramic based on Partially Stabilized Zirconia coated steel piston crown by using plasma spraying for improving performance of a marine diesel engine. Effects of coating constituent and thickness on temperature and stress distributions were investigated including comparisons with results from an uncoated piston by means of finite element method namely ANSYS. Temperature developed at the coated surface is significantly higher than that of the uncoated piston. The maximum stress components occur between bond coat and adjacent ceramic layer. Provided that coating thickness is constant as 0.5 mm, when numbers of layers increase, magnitude of the normal stress decrease about 34.1% on the base metal surface according to uncoated piston, but the base metal surface temperature of the steel piston increase about 13.1%.

This survey was performed to gain basic information for the development of new protective clothing of high acceptability in pesticide splaying among small size farmers. The rate of protective clothing wearing was low during pesticide spray although they understand its necessity. The reason for this low acceptability was related to the heat stress and reduced work efficiency deriving from wearing protective clothing. Instead of wearing they tend to carry out spray work while the ambient temperature is not to high. In the similar context, they rather intend to spray in consideration of weather condition instead of wearing protective clothing in the future. However, they are willing to purchase protective clothing if desirable products are developed: the clothing need to be efficient in both protection and work performance; the fanciness in design is not a requisite. This survey result will provide information necessary for the direction of new protective clothing development.

Diesel engine injector is used for spraying the fuel into the cylinder chamber. Complex phenomenon like cavitation occurs from small scale domain, highly pressurized condition and rapid injection. Flow inside the nozzle affects the whole engine performance including combustion and exhaust, therefore understanding the flow inside the injector nozzle is very important. In this paper, cylindrical and convergent-divergent nozzles are suggested for nozzle types and their influences on nozzle internal flow and nozzle outlet characteristics will be analyzed by changing their outlet diameters.

The method for spraying of liquids through an electrical field has become a printing method since it can make very small droplet. For electro-hydrodynamic jet printing to become a reliable jetting tool, the jetting performance should be characterized with respect to various jetting conditions. To optimize jetting conditions, the jetting behavior should be measured. In this study, we present a visualization techniques to measure jetting behavior from electro-hydrodynamic (EHD) inkjet head. Unlike most previous method, we use the CCD camera to measure the jetting behavior. For this purpose, LED light is synchronized with jetting signal and sequential image was obtained by adjusting the delay time of the LED light. Finally, merits and demerits of using CCD camera were discussed to measure jetting image from EHD inkjet head.

Over- and under-application of pesticides to crops have recently become main concerns regarding the environment conservation, product cost and firmer's safety. Thus, a uniform and optimal application method of pesticides was needed. The objective of study was to evaluate flow compensating characteristics of a variable flow control system for a boom sprayer using a laboratory setup. At the most variable conditions, the control system was acceptable with the flowrate control strategy. However, the sprayer control system became unstably fluctuating at the long execution time with small tolerance because of the constant valve on-time. This problem was solved by employing a variable on-time control. The optimal values for the damping ratio and the execution time were 2 and 1.0 sec, respectively, with the tolerances less than 3%. The performance of the control system at the optimal conditions were the response time of 3.8sec and the absolute steady-state error of 0.5% with the stable RCV and ROS ( < 1.0).

Chemical application is one of the most important field operation in rice production . Rolling of a boom due to local unevenness and softness in fields causes a local under/over-application of spray. This study was conducted to develop a control system for balancing a boom. A boom mounting mechanism was modfied and a control algorithm was developed in the study. The results for testing the performance of the control system showed that the system could balance the boom in flat and inclined fields. This research can contribute to improve spraying uniformity in applying agricultural chemicals with a boom sprayers.
