동물성유지는 식물성유지에 비해 산화안정성이 뛰어나며, 높은 발열량과 세탄가를 보여 불완전 연소율이 낮다는 장점을 가지고 있으나 포화지방산의 함량이 높고, 원료유지에 불순물 함량이 높아 정제과정이 필요하다는 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 동물성 유지로 폐돈지를 선정하여 초음파에너지를 이용한 전이에스테르화반응의 최적조건을 설정하고자 하였다. 또한 기존공정의 가열 및 교반을 대체할 수 있는 초음파에너지 효과를 확인함으로써 새로운 바이오디젤 제조공정을 제시하고자 하였다. 기존가열방식을 이용한 폐돈지의 전이에스테르화 반응은 $55^{\circ}C$에서 메탄올과 돈지의 반응몰비 12에서 1 h 반응한 경우 가장 우수한 전환특성을 나타내었다. 전이에스테르화 반응에 초음파에너지를 조사할 경우 최적 초음파 조사세기 500 W에서 반응시간을 30 min으로 크게 단축할 수 있었다. 또한 제조된 바이오디젤의 성능평가 결과 점도는 $0{\sim}70^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 1.3~4.0 cP, 발열량은 40.3 MJ/kg으로 바이오디젤 성능기준을 만족하였다.

An object of this study is to understand the application characteristics in accordance with changes of EGR rate, applying BD20 reformed by ultrasonic energy irradiation to common-rail diesel engine. BD containing about 10% oxygen has attracted attention due to soaring crude oil prices and environmental pollution. This oxygen decreases soot by promoting combustion, but it also increases NOx. To make up for this problem, an EGR system is applied so that NOx might be decreased. In that case, engine power is lowered and exhaust gas is raised. However, the reformed fuel by ultrasonic energy irradiation is changed physically and chemically, promotes combustion, and thus solves such a problem. As the results of the experimemt, we could identify the optimum EGR rate by investigating the engine performance and the characteristics of exhaust materials in accordance with the EGR rate after ultrasonic energy irradiation to BD20 and applying it to common-rail diesel engine. The optimum EGR rate that can satisfy both engine performance and characteristics of exhaust materials was in the range of 15%.

태양전지(Photovoltaic, PV) 모듈의 층간 접착제로 사용된 EVA(Ethylene Vinyl Acetate)를 초음파 조사(irradiation)를 이용하여, 선택적으로 분해함으로써 모듈 내 실리콘웨이퍼(Si-wafer)로 제조된 셀(cell)을 분리, 회수하는 연구를 진행하였다. 본 실험에 사용한 초음파 발생장치는 bath-type의 초음파 세척기 (Output: 130 W, Frequency: 40 kHz)로, PV모듈과의 거리는 2 cm로 고정하고 유기용매 종류, 농도, 온도를 조절하면서 EVA 분해 및 셀의 분리 최적 조건을 도출하였다. $55^{\circ}C$, 5M인 조건에서는 용매 종류에 상관없이 160 min 이내에 EVA층의 완전 분해는 가능하였으나, 분해과정 중 발현되는 팽창현상(swelling)에 의해 셀의 일부분이 파손된 상태로 회수되었다. 반면에 $65^{\circ}C$, 5M조건에서는 셀의 파손이 억제된 상태로 회수 가능하였으며, 이는 온도 상승에 의해 EVA 성분의 분해속도가 상승되고, 이로 인해 EVA층의 팽창현상이 발현되기 전에 분해가 일어난 결과라고 판단된다.

A 2D finite-element numerical simulation has been developed to investigate the generation of ultrasonic waves in a homogeneous isotropic elastic slab under a line-focused laser irradiation. Discussing the physical processes involved in the thermoelastic phenomena, we describe a model for the pulsed laser generation of ultrasound in a metal slab. Addressing an analytic method, on the basis of an integral transform technique, for obtaining the solutions of the elastodynamic equation, we outline a finite element method for a numerical simulation of an ultrasonic wave propagation. We present the numerical results for the displacements and the stresses generated by a line-focused laser pulse on the surface of a stainless steel slab.

An experimental model to enhance the mixing of parallel supersonic-subsonic jet ($M_1$=1.78 and $M_2$=0.30) is simulated with a numerical technique by modeling the wall-mounted cavity to a boundary condition of oscillating pressure. The computed pilot pressure distributions along three representative cross sections show a good agreement with the equivalent experimental data. The irradiation of acoustic wave in the ultrasonic range causes the mixing augmentation of jet and wake due to the transfer of vibration energy between fluid particles.

Polymer latices, prepared from the emulsion polymerization of vinyl monomer compounds, are widely used for many industrial applications. Included among these are uses in paints, adhesives, flocculants, and heavy-duty plastics as well as their original use in synthetic rubber compounds. The emulsion polymerization process with chemical initiator has chemical disadvantage such as removal of initiator which was left after polymerization. In this study, polystyrene latex was prepared by using ultrasonic irradiation which generate the free radical, and then it was analyzed by GPC. Reaction temperature hardly have an effect on average molecular weight. Average molecular weight is increased by increasing amount of surfactant, i.e. SDS, but polydispersity is decreased. After 90 minutes of reaction time, increase and decrease of average molecular weight Is repeated. It is proposed that monodisperse polymer is obtained by controlling ultrasonic irradiation time and surfactant concentration.

Titanium has been used in various fields due to its good corrosion and erosion resistance, and superior mechanical properties. The process for selective electro-deposition on a titanium surface using laser beam is proposed in this paper. The process consists of laser irradiation, electro-deposition, and ultrasonic cleaning. Laser irradiation can change the surface morphology of titanium. Through laser irradiation, the surface cleaning effect and a rough surface can be achieved. The surface roughness of titanium was measured according to the laser beam conditions. The characteristics of selective electro-deposition on titanium surface according to surface roughness are investigated by various analytical methods such as SEM, and EDS.

Manufactured ultrasonic circuit to use to force cavity density and power into $TiO_{2}$ paste. Then, we have optimized forcing time, frequency and duty of ultrasonic irradiation for surface treatment of photo-electrode of DSC. In I-V characteristic test of DSC, ultrasonic and thermal treated DSC shows 19% improved its efficiency against established DSC.

In the present work, $WO_3$ and $WO_3-TiO_2$ were prepared by the chemical deposition method. Structural variations, surface state and elemental compositions were investigated for preparation of $WO_3-TiO_2$ sonocatalyst. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were employed for characterization of these new photocatalysts. A rhodamine B (Rh.B) solution under ultrasonic irradiation was used to determine the catalytic activity. Excellent catalytic degradation of an Rh.B solution was observed using the $WO_3-TiO_2$ composites under ultrasonic irradiation. Sonocatalytic degradation is a novel technology of treating wastewater. During the ultrasonic treatment of aqueous solutions sonoluminescence, cavitaties and "hot spot" occurred, leading to the dissociation of water molecules. In case of a $WO_3$ coupled system, a semiconductor coupled with two components has a beneficial role in improving charge separation and enhancing $TiO_2$ response to ultrasonic radiations. In case of the addition of $WO_3$ as new matter, the excited electrons from the $WO_3$ particles are quickly transferred to $TiO_2$ particle, as the conduction band of $WO_3$ is 0.74 eV which is -0.5 eV more than that of $TiO_2$. This transfer of charge should enhance the oxidation of the adsorbed organic substrate. The result shows that the photocatalytic performance of $TiO_2$ nanoparticles was improved by loading $WO_3$.
