The W/O emulsion was formed by mixing hydrophobic nonion surfactants of span 80 and tween 60 with kerosine, and by adding sodium silicate aqueous solution. Precipitating the W/O emulsion by sodium bicarbonate resulted in spherical silica particles. Shape and size distribution of silica particles were observed. The particles were spherical and they have narrow size distribution. Particle sizes were 9.29, 7.39 and 5.73 μm at homogenizer speed of 2500, 3000, and 3500 rpm, respectively. The particle size was decreased by increasing agitation speed due to the formation of emulsion droplet. At fixed agitation speed, absorbed paraffin oil weight were measured and the SiO2/Na2O mole ratio effects on particle size were investigated. Particle size was decreased by increasing the mole ratio of SiO2/Na2O.

The inter-particle distance between diamonds on the segment surface of sawing blade predicted theoretically and measured experimentally followed a Gamma or Weibull function, rather than a normal distribution function. These results suggest that random dispersion of diamond particles in the segment may not be an efficient way of improving cutting efficiency of the blade.

Distributions of diamond particles protruding on the surface of worn diamond segments in circular saw has been investigated. Scanning electron microscope was used to examine the worn ,surface and radial saw blade wear and grinding ratio was measured. The number of protruded diamond particle was approximately 50% of the total number of particles, and that was independent of diamond particle concentration and table speed. It was also noted that the inter-particle distance did not follow a symmetric function like Gaussian distribution function, instead it fitted well with a probability density function based on gamma function. The distribution of inter-particle spacing, therefore, was analyzed using a gamma function model.

The study was conducted to evaluate the penetration performance of Surface Protection Material(SPM) according to the particle size distribution of fine aggregate. The fine three types of aggregates were used, and the amounts of SPM were applied 0.13, 0.25, 0.36, and 0.51 kg/㎡. Test results indicated that the penetration depth of SPM were improved with increasing the amounts of application of SPM. And The penetration depth of SPM were improved with increasing the percentage of passing weight of size of sieve between 0 and 1.25mm.

As an interpretation of existing jamming effects, the main variables affecting the increase in stiffness due to jamming are known as system density, jamming density, pressure, and particulate temperature. The main variable, jamming density, is closely related to the distribution of particle size and contact properties such as particle shape and friction. However, the complexity of these variables makes it difficult to fully understand the mechanism of the jamming effect. In this paper, we focus on the jamming effects of particles that have more elastic properties than particles such as sand and coffee powder, which are commonly used as constituent particles of existing jamming, in order to reduce complicated factors such as temperature and concentrate on jamming effects based on elastic characteristics of particles. It was experimentally explored the possibility of increasing stiffness by mixing particles of different sizes rather than simply increasing the bending stiffness by controlling the particle size. Through simulations and experiments, we found a case where the stiffness of each particle size distribution is larger than the stiffness of each particle size.

In order to ensure the high carbon conversion in a short residence time in a coal slurry entrained gasifier, the objectiveof this study lies in to investigate the effect of important variables to influence on the complex reacting flow and therebyto clarify the physical feature occurring inside the gasifier using a comprehensive gasifier computer program. To this end,the gasification process of a 1.0ton/day gasifier is numerically modeled using the code of Fluent and systematicallyinvestigated with the change of major design and operation parameters. Special emphasis is given on the effect of theparticle size distribution on the gasification process, since it is associated with various length and time scales via multi-phase and with complex reacting flows. Three different particle sizes are tested for a given coal mass flow rate, the firstis 70µm mean diameter with Rosin-Rammler distribution based on the actual measurement. But in the other two casestwo uniform mean particle diameters are employed, that is, very fine 1µm and 70µm with mean diameter itself. Thecalculation results of these three cases show quite different flow pattern, temperature and reacting flows probably causedby the different particle trajectory as well as reaction rate. However, the results obtained can be explained in a consistentmanner with particle size. Especially, it is noted that the presence of coal particle, the diameter of which is larger thanthat of mean diameter of Rosin-Rammler distribution, shows a significantly retarded gasification reaction in a gasifier,even if its mass fraction is less than 50%.

본 연구에서는 파쇄 메커니즘이 상이한 파쇄기(함마 크럿셔와 롤 크럿셔)와 파쇄회로(개회로 및 폐회로)를 사용하여 각각의 파쇄기 종류에 따른 백운석 파쇄산물의 입도분포와 파쇄특성에 대해 알아보았다. 함마 크럿셔로 파쇄한 경우, 100 mesh 이하의 미분이 약 34 wt.%로 롤 크럿셔로 파쇄한 경우보다 약 3 배 이상 높았다. 또한 14~25 mesh 산물은 롤 크럿셔로 파쇄할 경우, 함마 크럿셔로 파쇄한 경우에 비하여 약 20 wt.% 이상 많이 생성되었다. 35 mesh 이하의 산물은 함마 크럿셔로 파쇄 시 전체의 약 80 wt.% 정도였다. 두 파쇄기 모두 개회로에 비해 폐회로 파쇄 시 미분의 발생률이 감소하였다. 광석에 따른 적절한 파쇄기 및 파쇄회로의 선택에 따라 목적하는 입도의 산물을 효율적으로 얻을 수 있다.

자연하천에서의 이송-확산 과정의 모의를 위하여 입자위치의 이산확률분포에 기초한 2차원 수송 모형을 개발하였다. 제안된 모형에서는 단위 시간간격동안 격자간의 질량이송을 예측하기 위하여 평균과 분산의 함수로 나타내어진 확률분포를 사용하였다. 개발된 모형은 유속, 확산계수, 단면적이 일정한 단순영역에 대하여 수치확산이 없는 해를 구하였고, 양의 확률을 만족시키는 안정조건이 성립한다면, 해석해와 다른 유한차분법과 비교하였을 때, 좋은 결과를 나타내었다. 본 모
