The effect of thermal stratification on the turbulent dispersion from a fine cylindrical heat source was experimentally examined in a wind tunnel with and without a strong temperature gradient. A 0.5 mm dia. nichrome wire was used as a line heat source. Turbulent intensities, r.m.s. value of temperature and convective heat fluxes were measured by using a hot-wire and cold-wire combination probe. The results show that the peack value and the spread of the vertical turbulent intensity for the stratified case are far lower than those in the neutral case, which indicates that the stable temperature gradient suppresses the vertical velocity component. All of the third order moments including heat fluxes measured in the stable condition have very small values than those of the neutral case. This nature suggests that the decrease of scalar fluctuations in the stably stratified flow is mainly due to the suppression ofthe turbulent diffusion processes by the stable stratification. A simple gradient model with a composite timescale which has a simple weighted algebraic mean between dynamic and thermal time scale yields reasonably good numerical values in comparison with the experimental data.

Silicon carbide films were deposited by low pressure chemical vapor deposition(LPCVD) using MTS(CH3SICl3) in hydrogen atmosphere on (100) Si substrate. To prevent the unstable interface from being formed on the substrate, the experiments were performed through three deposition processes which were the deposition on 1) as received Si, 2) low temperature grown SiC, and 3) carbonized Si by C2H2. The microstructure of the interface between Si substrates and SiC films was observed by SEM and the adhesion between Si substrates and SiC films was measured through scratch test. The SiC films deposited on the low temperature grown SiC thin films, showed the stable interfacial structures. The interface of the SiC films deposited on carbonized Si, however, was more stable and showed better adhesion than the others. In the case of the low temperature growth process, the optimum condition was 120$0^{\circ}C$ on carbonized Si by 3% C2H2, at 105$0^{\circ}C$, 5 torr, 10 min, showed the most stable interface. As a result of XRD analysis, it was observed that the preferred orientation of (200) plane was increased with Si carbonization. On the basis of the experimental results, the models of defect formation in the process of each deposition were compared.

Characgcteristics of nocturnal boundary layer(NBL) were analyzed by the upper-air observations data using with the airsonde and pilot balloons from 1994 to 1999 in Kyungpook province. The automate weather boundary layer can become stably stratified when the surface is cooler than the air. Stable nocturnal boundary layer height were estimated from the top of surface stable layer where the vertical gradient of temperature and mixing ratio tend to zero or negative. The depth of the stable nocturnal boundary layer depended largely on the thermal effect rather than the wind effect at nighttime. The NBL was more developed on the land than on the coastal region. The stability index (bulk Richardson number) showed that the NBL was stable when the wind was weak and the vertical gradient of the temperature was strong. The heat budget in the NBL was studied by considering the effect of the radiative and the cooled by both the longwave radiative flux and the divergence of the heat flux, while NBL under the cloudy sky the longwave radiative flux played a role of the warming. It was noted that the heat was not conserved in both cases. To complete the heat budget in the NBL the warming/cooling by advection and subsidence must be considered.

A stable reference voltage generator is necessary to the infrared image signal readout circuit(ROIC) to improve noise characteristics in comparison with signals originated from infrared devices, that is, to gain good images. In this study, bandgap reference circuit operating at cryogenic temperature of 77K for Infrared image ROIC(readout integrated circuit) was propose. Most of bandgap reference circuits which are presented so far operate at room temperature, and they are not suitable for infrared image ROIC operating at liquid nitrogen temperature, 77K. To design bandgap reference circuit operating at cryogenic temperature, the parameter characteristics of used devices as temperature change are seen, and then bandgap reference circuit is proposed with considering such characteristics. It demonstrates practical use possibility through taking measurements and estimations.

Catalytic combustion known as one of the traditional oxidation methods of VOC gas is restricted to its applicable fields because of its reaction characteristics. But recently innovative improvement of catalytic endurance makes its applicable range broader from MEMs to industrial power generation. Therefore, control technologies based on the catalytic combustion characteristics are researched and developed dynamically. Especially, the stable control of catalytic combustion is an essential factor in a view of maximizing its efficiency. In this research, the fuel equivalence ratio and the preheating temperature of mixture gas is controlled by catalytic combustion system enhanced in heat transfer with high temperature heat exchanger. As a result the combustion characteristics of system was investigated, and both passive and active control type were compared and analyzed.

To perform the finish grinding process of ferrules which are widely used as fiber optic connectors, a high-precision centerless grinding machine is necessary. The high-precision centerless grinding machine is consisted of the hydrostatic GW and RW spindle systems, hydrostatic RW feeding mechanism, RW swivel mechanism, on-machine GW and RW dressers, and concrete-filled steel bed. In this study, the thermal characteristics of the high-precision centerless grinding machine such as the temperature distribution, temperature rise and thermal deformation, are estimated based on the virtual prototype of the grinding machine and the heat generation rates of heat sources related to the machine operation conditions. The reliability of the predicted results is demonstrated by the temperature characteristics measured from the physical prototype. Especially, the predicted and measured results show the fact that the high-precision centerless grinding machine has very stable thermal characteristics.

The outer diameter finishing grinding process required for ferrules, which are widely used as fiber optic connectors, is carried out by high-precision centerless grinding machines. In this study, the thermal characteristics of such a machine, for example, the temperature distribution, temperature rise, and thermal deformation, were estimated based on a virtual prototype and the heat generation rates of heat sources related to normal operating conditions. The prototype consisted of a concrete-filled bed. hydrostatic grinding wheel (GW) and regulating wheel (RW) spindle systems, a hydrostatic RW feed mechanism, a RW swivel mechanism, and on-machine GW and RW dressers. The reliability of the predicted results was demonstrated using temperature characteristics measured from a physical prototype. The predicted and measured results indicated that this particular high-precision centerless grinding machine had very stable thermal characteristics.

The tribological characteristics of FDTS (1H, 1H, 2H, 2H-Perflurodecyltrichlorosilane) SAM (self-assembled monolayer) and OTS (octadecyltrichlorosilane) SAM treated by high temperature annealing have been investigated from the viewpoint of stiction, adhesion and friction in micro/nano scale. From the experimental results, it was found that OTS SAM gets destroyed at 20$0^{\circ}C$ and stiction, adhesion and friction coefficient increased, but FDTS SAM was stable up to 40$0^{\circ}C$. Also, it was found that the friction coefficient of normal OTS SAM below 20$0^{\circ}C$ is lower than that of FDTS SAM in micro/nano scale, but stiction and adhesion is vice versa. This work shows the importance of surface group of self-assembled monolayer in dictating the tribological characteristics and thermal stability.

Hydrogeochemical and isotopic characteristics were investigated for groundwater of Tertiary basin in southeastern part of Korea where deep drilling is in progress for geothermal investigation. According to geology, aquifer was distinguished as alluvial, tertiary sedimentary bedrock (bedrock groundwater), and fractured volcanic rock (deep groundwater). Groundwater of each aquifer is distinctively separated in Eh-pH conditions and concentrations of Cl, F, B and HCO$_3$. Deep groundwater has very low level 3H and 14C whereas alluvial groundwater has those of recent precipitation level. However one of deep groundwater show mixed characteristics in terms of hydrochemistry which indicates effect of pumping. Deep groundwater have temperature of 38 to 43$^{\circ}C$ whereas bedrock and alluvial groundwater have temperature less than 2$0^{\circ}C$. Fractured basement rock aquifer has different hydrogeologicalsetting from bedrock and alluvial aquifer considering hydrogeochemical and isotopic characteristics, and temperature.
