The XYZ 3-dimensional thermal conductivities of the C/C up to 2000 °C were measured by a laser flash method. Carbon fiberreinforced carbon composites (C/C) were generally developed for aerospace missions due to their excellent thermal resistivity at ultrahigh temperature. C/C must endure harsh environments such as thousands of degrees Celsius without degradation of its mechanical properties. To solve this problem, among the passive thermal protection system, we suggest a method of conducting more heat through the mono-axial direction, which resulted in ease of the thermal rise in the heat receiving part. For example, the X-43A flight applied unbalanced C/C (UCC) with different carbon fiber orientation ratios according to the XY direction in the leading edge part. To investigate the difference in thermal conductivity between unbalanced C/C (UCC) and balanced C/C (BCC), unbalanced and balanced preforms were prepared by a needle punching process, and then they were densified by pitch infiltration and a carbonization process. We compared and analyzed the effects of unbalanced C/C(UCC) and balanced C/C (BCC) structures on the thermal conductivity. We also designed the “rule of mixtures” equation for calculating thermal conductivities of each C/C using reported data of carbon fiber and graphite matrix. Our calculations of thermal conductivity ratio match the ratio of real data.

중국 수묵화는 당송시대에 가장 발달하였고, 대표적인 문화 장르 중 하나이며, 중국 수묵화를 표현하는 방식은 여러 가지가 있다. 오늘날 게임과 애니메이션 제작기술이 발전함에 따라 기존 수묵화 표현방법을 게임에 적용하여 표현효과를 고양하려는 시도가 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 3D 게임 환경에서 중국 수묵화를 표현하는 방법에 대해 연구를 하였으며 기존 게임 엔진에서 PBR 기술을 이용하여 중국 수묵화를 표현하고 실제 게임 제작에 적용하였다. 이를 통해 중국 수묵화의 표현효과를 게임에 재현하였다.

In the aerospace field, Carbon/Cork composites have been used for rocket propulsion systems as a light weight structural component with a high bending stiffness and high thermal insulation properties. For the fabrication of a carbon composite with a heat insulation cork part, the bonding properties between them are very important to determine the service life of the Carbon/Cork composite structure. In this study, the changes in the interfacial adhesion and mechanical properties of Carbon/Cork composites under accelerated aging conditions were investigated. The accelerated aging experiments were performed with different temperatures and humidity conditions. The properties of the aged Carbon/Cork composites were evaluated mainly with the interfacial strength. Finally, the lifetime prediction of the Carbon/Cork composites was performed with the long-term property data under accelerated conditions.

Infrared emissions from spherical dust, clouds are calculated using quasi-diffusion method. We have employed graphite-silicate mixture with power-law size distribution for the dust model. The grains are assumed to be heated and cooled by radiative processes only. The primary heating source is diffuse interstellar radiation field. hut the cases with an embedded source are also considered. Since graphite grains have higher temperature than silicate grains, the observed IR emission is mainly due to graphite grains, unless the fraction of graphite grains is negligibly small. The color temperature of Bok globules obtained from IRAS 60 and 100 μ m data are found to be consistent with the dust cloud with graphite-silicate mixture exposed to average interstellar radiation field. The color temperature is sensitive to the external radiation field, but rather insensitive to the size distribution of the grains. We found that the density distribution can be recovered outside the beam size using the inversion technique that assumes negligible optical depth. However, the information within the beam size is lost for if beam convolved intensity distributions are used in deriving density profile.

Clogging of the filter media which is brought by physical, chemical, and biological factors tend to reduce the lifespan of filters and remains a challenge. In this study, a laboratory column test method was used to investigate the evolution of physical and biological clogging in a non-vegetated filter media system with layers of sand, gravel, and woodchip. Blank column tests using either sand or gravel were conducted and investigated. Several column setups with varying arrangements and particle sizes of sand and gravel were also prepared to identify the best filter media combination that is least susceptible to clogging without compromising the treatment capacity. Artificial stormwater runoff was introduced in the system at a specific hydraulic loading rate (HLR) and influent characteristics. The degree of clogging was quantified by monitoring the variations in the hydraulic head at different levels of the columns. Water samples were also collected, tested, and analyzed at the end of each test run in order to measure the treatment efficiency of the filter. The insights and results of this study can justify the physical and biological clogging formation in filter media and therefore be used to suggest some filter media particle size modifications that can help to improve the sediment removal and treatment performance. Moreover, it can also aid to reduce the maintenance frequency and costs of a stormwater filter system.
