This study investigates the viability of using a Na-ion battery with a tin(Sn) anode to mitigate the vulnerability caused by volume changes during discharge and charge cycling. In general, the volume changes of carbon material do not cause any instability during intercalation into its layer structure. Sn has a high theoretical capacity of 847 mAh g−1. However, it expands dramatically in the discharge process by alloying Na-Sn, placing the electrode under massive internal stress, and particularly straining the binder over the elastic limit. The repeating strain results in loss of active material and its electric contact, as well as capacity decrease. This paper expands the scope of fabrication of Na-ion batteries with Sn by fabricating the binder as an auxetic structure with a unique feature: a negative Poisson ratio (NPR), which increases the resistance to internal stress in the Na-Sn alloying/de-alloying processes. Electrochemical tests and micrograph images of auxetic and common binders are used to compare dimensional and structural differences. Results show that the capacity of an auxetic-structured Sn electrode is much larger than that of a Sn electrode with a common-structured binder. Furthermore, using an auxetic structured Sn electrode, stability in discharge and charge cycling is obtained.

This materials are commonly used in petrochemical process as principle and base sources. In present state, adsorption or cryogenic distillation method are used for their separation, however, intensive energy cost and complex process are needed. In particular, we fabricated polymeric composite membrane with high scalability, propylene and propane gases are effectively separated. Whats more, Ag ion is pivotal materials with pi complexation effect. MgO nanosheet was incorporated for enhancing and activating Ag ion in polymer composite membrane. Lastly, Ag-friend polymer matrix was used for getting higher perm-selecetivity.

Saline water electrolysis is an electrochemical process to produce valued chemicals by applying electric power. Perfluorinated sulfonic acid (PFSA) ionomers have been used as polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) materials owing to their high sodium ion selectivity and barrier properties. However, sulfonic acid groups in PFSA ionomers are chemically decomposed under a basic catholyte condition, which makes the PEM materials lose their ionic selectivity and Faraday efficiency. In this study, double layered membranes were prepared by anchoring cross-linked hydrocarbon ionomers, as a protection layer to catholyte atmosphere, into the water channels, particularly, located at around the surface of a PFSA membrane. Here, each monomer results in the identical chemical architecture and different free volume content when polymerized.

This Study is carried out to stabilize the system according to the change of superheat and subcooling in binary refrigeration system by applying cascade system. When the system on 1 st stage was started and the system on the other side was operated, a temperature reversal phenomenon occurred in which the temperature of the 1 st cascade outlet was temporarily lowered. This means that the condensate heat exchange on the 2 nd is not good, which can cause the compressor to overheated. In order to maintain stable system operation, the opening degree of the expansion valve is controlled to increase the refrigerant circulation amount, thereby facilitating the condensation heat exchange on the 2 nd stage system. We have found that the most suitable refrigerant circulation amount is found by stabilizing the operation of the system while lowerning the super low temperature from -65℃ to -70℃ and increasing again to -60℃.

The improvement of dispersion stability for the primary polishing slurry in a CMP process is achieved to prevent defects produced by agglomeration of the slurry. The dispersion properties are analyzed according to the physical characteristics of each silica sol sample. Further, the difference in the dispersion stability is confirmed as the surfactant content. The dispersibility results measured by Zeta potential suggest that the dispersion properties depend on the content and size of the abrasive in the primary polishing slurry. Moreover, the optimum ratio for high dispersion stability is confirmed as the addition content of the surfactant. Based on the aforementioned results, the long-term stability of each slurry is analyzed. Turbiscan analysis demonstrates that the agglomeration occurs depending on the increasing amount of surfactant. As a result, we demonstrate that the increased particle size and the decreased content of silica improve the dispersion stability and long-term stability.

Stable isotope tracers were first applied to evaluate the Microcystis cell assimilation efficiency of bivalves, since the past identification method has been limited to tracking the changes of each chl-a, clearity, and nutrient. The filter-feeders (Sinanodonta woodiana and Unio douglasiae) were assessed under the condition of cyanobacteria (Microcystis aeruginosa) blooms through an in mesocosm experiment using 13C and 15N dual isotope tracers. Chl-a concentration in the treatment mesocosm was dramatically decreased after the beginning of the second day, ranging from 116 to 66 μg L−1. In addition, the incorporated 13C and 15N atom % in the S. woodiana bivalve showed higher values than U. douglasiae bivalves. The results demonstrate that U. douglasiae has less capacity to assimilate toxic cyanobacteria derived from diet. Our results therefore also indicate that S. woodiana can eliminate the toxin more rapidly than U. douglasiae, having a larger detoxification capacity.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of sugars and stabilizers on the qualitative properties of frozen-yogurt. To prepare the yogurt mix, market milk was fermented using a commercial starter culture and sugars, trehalose and sucrose, and to prepare the ice cream mix, stabilizers, carboxy methyl cellulose (CMC) and guar gum, were used. The yogurt and ice cream preparations were mixed in a 1:1 (v/v) ratio to produce frozen-yogurt. Yogurt prepared using trehalose showed a significantly faster increase in pH, titratable acidity, and viable cell count than that prepared using sucrose (p<0.05). Ice cream prepared using guar gum showed a significantly higher viscosity and overrun than the CMC-stabilized preparation (p<0.05). Frozen-yogurt produced using the yogurt-trehalose mix and ice cream-CMC mix showed the highest hardness and lowest overrun. The melt-down rate of frozen-yogurt prepared with the yogurt-trehalose mix was significantly slow (p<0.05). However, there were no significant differences among the yogurt mixes in terms of changes in the viable cell count at 0, 7, 15, 30, and 45 days (p>0.05). In a sensory evaluation, most panels preferred the frozen-yogurt with sucrose over that with trehalose. However, it is expected that using trehalose with other sugar substitutions and guar gums in manufacture of frozen-yogurt have high potentiality than using sucrose and CMC, and it is considered that it could reignite the stagnant domestic milk processing industry.

In this study, we investigated the dynamic stability of the system and the semi-analytical solution of the shallow arch. The governing equation for the primary symmetric mode of the arch under external load was derived and expressed simply by using parameters. The semi-analytical solution of the equation was obtained using the Taylor series and the stability of the system for the constant load was analyzed. As a result, we can classify equilibrium points by root of equilibrium equation, and classified stable, asymptotical stable and unstable resigns of equilibrium path. We observed stable points and attractors that appeared differently depending on the shape parameter h, and we can see the points where dynamic buckling occurs. Dynamic buckling of arches with initial condition did not occur in low shape parameter, and sensitive range of critical boundary was observed in low damping constants.

PURPOSES: The objective of this study is to evaluate the application of soil stabilization method for soft shoulder construction in the iRoad Project of Sri Lanka. METHODS: Firstly, the quantitative analysis of soil strength improvement due to soil stabilization was done for soil samples collected from iRoad construction sites. Two types of soils were selected from iRoad Project sites and prepared for soil stabilization testing by the Road Development Authority. Secondly, the appropriate stabilizer was selected at given soil type based on test results. Two different stabilizers, ST-1 and ST-2, produced in Korea were used for estimating soil strength improvements. Finally, the optimum stabilizer content was determined for improving shoulder performance. The uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) test was conducted to evaluate the strength of stabilized soil samples in accordance with ASTM D 1633. The use of bottom ash as a stabilizer produced from power plant in Sri Lanka was also reviewed in this task. RESULTS: It is found from the UCS testing that a 3% use of soil stabilizer can improve the strength up to 2~5 times in stabilized soft shoulder soils with respect to unstabilized soils. It is also observed from UCS testing that the ST-1 shows high strength improvement in 3% of stabilizer content but the strength improvement rate with increase of stabilizer content is relatively low compared with ST-2. The ST-2 shows a low UCS value at 3% of content but the UCS values increase significantly with increase of stabilizer content. When using the ST-2 as stabilizing agent, the 5% is recommended as minimum content based on UCS testing results. Based on the testing results for bottom ash replacement, the stabilized sample with bottom ash shows the low strength value. CONCLUSIONS: This paper is intended to check the feasibility for use the soil stabilization technique for shoulder construction in Sri Lanka. The use of soil stabilizer enables to improve the durability and strength in soft shoulder materials. When applying the bottom ash as a soil stabilizer, various testings should be conducted to satisfy the specification criteria.

The results of structural and thermal stress analyses have led to the conclusion that the cooling system has structural stability. From modal analysis, first natural frequency is 12.37 hz and deformation is 22.041 mm. Sixth natural frequency is 26.887 hz and deformation is 25.563 mm.

파랑중을 항행하는 선박에는 저항증가와 함께 파랑에 의한 횡력 및 회두모멘트가 정수중과 다르게 작용하여 선박의 조종성 능에 영향을 미치게 된다. 따라서 파랑에 의해 발생하는 횡력 및 회두모멘트를 추정하는 것이 중요하므로 본 연구에서는 이와 같은 문제를 해결할 수 있는 수치계산을 이행하였다. 본 연구에서는 CFD를 이용하여 정수중 및 파랑중에서 부선에 작용하는 유체력 계산을 위한 수치시뮬레이션을 수행하였으며, 이 결과를 토대로 최종적으로 파랑중 부선의 침로안정성 특성에 대하여 조사 및 분석하였다. 정수중보다 는 파랑중에서 부선에 작용하는 유체력이 강해지고 있으며, 파랑중에서도 파장이 길어질수록 유체력이 커지고 있는 모습을 확인할 수 있다. 장파장 영역에서는 yaw damping lever의 (-) 값이 정수중보다 커지고 있으나, 단파장 영역과 파장이 선박길이와 일치하는 영역에서는 각각 작아지고 있어서 이 영역에서는 침로안정성이 향상되고 있다고 추정할 수 있다. 즉 장파장 영역에서는 침로안정성이 정수중 및 단파장 영역보다 상대적으로 나빠지고 있으므로 항행시 주의가 필요하다고 할 수 있다.

SUS hexagonal bar has been widely used to make many kinds of hexagonal bolt/nuts and fittings. Peeling machine is used to make lustrous and clean surface of SUS circular bar in order to remove rust and impurities from surface of raw SUS circular bar. Similarly, roll unit system is used to make SUS hexagonal bar from SUS circular bar with lustrous and clean surface. Roll unit system is mainly divided into two parts ; one is roll unit and the other is mold frame. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the structural stability of mold frame supporting roll unit with numerical analysis. As the numerical analysis result, higher structural stability was gradually shown in order of models 4, 2, 3 and 1. It was considered that the structural stability of this study was influenced by the decrease of mold frame size, especially height decrease.
