Advances made in membrane technology have to do with either enhancing separation efficiency or improving the permeation flux. Enhancing the separation efficiency, however, inevitably led to reducing the flux, and improving the permeation flux resulted in a loss in the separation efficiency. In this presentation, we suggest multiscale porous membranes with inverse-opal structures that allow for high permeation flux without sacrificing separation efficiency. In order to create the multiscale architectured membranes, primary structure of inverse opal having macropores is first prepared. Then, secondary nanostructures are incorporated to elaborately tune the pore size, tortuosity, and interfacial properties. Finally, the constructed multiscale architectures are utilized for water-treatment or removal or organic molecules.

Perfluorinated sulfonic acid ionomers have been used as representative membrane materials in a wide range of applications. Though PFSA ionomers have been well known as chemically durable materials, their chemical resistances should be improved further to apply them to practical fuel cell systems operated under harsh conditions. One plausible solution would be to fabricate reinforced membranes composed of proton-conducting ionomers and chemically durable porous support films. In this study, pore-filling membranes are prepared via the impregnation of PFSA ionomers into porous PTFE support films. The objective of this study is to systematically investigate the influences of pore characteristics on proton transport behavior and electrochemical single performances.

Pneumatic cylinder actuators are significantly utilized for industry automatic systems in the fields of mechanical applications. We propose a novel control method for pneumatic cylinder actuator systems including stochastic friction dynamics. The proposed control mechanism is linearly composed of nominal control and auxiliary control variables. The former is designed from linear system model without friction terms by using a previous linear system theory and the latter is constructed as a function of friction estimation which is carried out by a well-known least square algorithm for reducing the control error due to random friction dynamics. We accomplish numerical simulation to demonstrate reliability of the proposed control method and conduct a comparative study to improve its superiority.

본 연구에서는 이온교환막을 이용한 전기화학적 수처리 공정의 효율을 향상시키기 위해 낮은 전기적 저항, 높은이온선택 투과성, 및 농도분극 조건에서 낮은 물분해 플럭스 특성을 갖는 새로운 세공충진 음이온 교환막을 개발하였다. 다공성 폴리올레핀 기재에 이온교환능이 우수한 4급 암모늄기를 포함한 공중합 고분자를 충진하여 상용막 이상의 성능을 갖는 기저 멤브레인을 제조하였다. 또한 기저 막 표면에 이미다졸륨 고분자를 코팅하여 전기화학적 성능을 유지하며 동시에 물분해플럭스를 효과적으로 제어할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 제조된 세공충진 음이온 교환막은 상용막 대비 약 1/6∼1/8 수준의 매우낮은 전기적 저항을 나타내었으며 동시에 농도분극 조건에서 양이온 교환막 수준의 낮은 물분해 플럭스를 나타내었다

In this study, the control of microstructure for increasing surface roughness of Al with an electro-chemical reaction and a post treatment is systematically investigated. The Al specimen is electro-chemically treated in an electrolyte. In condition of the post treatment at 100oC for 10 min, a change of the surface microstructure occur at 50V (5 min), and a oxidized layer is at 400V, to which lead a decreasing surface roughness. The minimum temperature of the post treatment for a change of microstructure is 80oC. Moreover, in the condition of 300V (5 min), the electro-chemical reaction is followed by the post treatment at 100oC, the critical enduring time for the change of microstructure is 3 min. The longer post treatment time leads to the rougher surface. The treated Al specimen demonstrate better heat release ability owing to the higher surface roughness than the non-treated Al.

본 연구에서는 살포비행의 주된 요운동과 순항비행에 대하여 시뮬레이션과 비행실험을 통해 얻은 적정 제어이득을 적용하여, 농용헬리콥터의 수동과 제어비행에서 순항비행 및 요의 행동을 비교하였다. 수동의 경우는 조종간의 입력 즉, 서보의 입력은 그대로 서보의 출력으로 전달되어 헬리콥터의 비행자세와 반응으로 나타나므로 조종자에 있어 높이와 자세를 유지하는데 높은 숙련도와 노력이 필요하였다. 반면 상용제어기의 적용은 기본적인 자세 및 요의 제어를 제공 받으므로 조종자가 살포작업에 편이성을 제공받을 수 있었다. 수동비행에서 요각의 행태는 편류비행의 결과를 보였으나, 제어에서는 목표진행 방위각에서 안정되게 유지되었다. 또한 수동 순항비행에서는 롤 및 피치각의 자세가 숙련된 조종자에 의해 ±6.9°(±0.11 rad) 정도의 롤 및 피치각의 큰 변동폭을 경험하였다. 반면 자세제어 비행에서는 ±2.8°(±0.05 rad) 정도의 안정된 변동폭을 유지하였다. 따라서, 상용제어기를 적용함으로써 요운동으로 방향을 유지하고 순항비행에서 살포높이와 속도를 조절하는데 조종자의 편이성을 제공 할 수 있을 것으로 생각되었다.

Pt nanopowder-dispersed SiO2 (SOP) films were prepared by RF co-sputtering method using Pt and SiO2 targets in Ar atmosphere. The growth rate and Pt content in the film were controlled by means of manipulating the RF power of Pt target while that of SiO2 was fixed. The roughness of the film was increased with increasing the power of Pt target, which was mainly due to the increment of the size and planar density of Pt nanopowder. It was revealed that SOP film formed at 10, 15, 20 W of Pt power contained 2.3, 2.7, and 3.0 nm of spherical Pt nanopowder, respectively. Electrical conductivity of SOP films was exponentially increased with increasing Pt power as one can expect. Interestingly, conductivity of SOP films from Hall effect measurement was greater than that from DC I-V measurement, which was explained by the significant increase of electron density.

본 연구에서는 소수성 PVDF막 표면에 중성 친수성 고분자인 Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)를 코팅한 후 순수 투과도를 측정하고 대표적인 단백질 오염물질인 bovin serum albumin (BSA)에 대하여 파울링 실험을 수행하였다. BSA 용액 20ppm 조건에서 파울링 실험을 수행한 결과, 코팅 전 막에 비하여 순수 투과도는 감소하였지만 내오염성은 현저히 증가됨을 알 수 있었다. 코팅된 PVA의 분자량이 커질수록 순수 투과도는 감소하였으나, 내오염성이 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 또한, 코팅된 PVA의 농도가 높아질수록 순수 투과도는 감소하였고, 내오염성이 증가하였다. 이는 접촉각과 AFM 측정 결과와 관련하여 코팅 후 막 표면에 친수성의 증가와 거칠기가 감소했기 때문으로 여겨진다.

In this paper, we analyzed the characteristics of the mass flow rate and velocity of the refrigerant in response to a change in the number of holes and the diameter size(Type-1～4) of the valve guide refrigerant to flow from Pc to Ps when the pressure is constant. Type-1 is 40% higher mass flow flowing in the direction of Ps as compared with the Pc mass flow rate. Type-2 is 64% higher mass flow flowing in the direction of Ps as compared with the Pc mass flow rate. Type-3 is 50% higher mass flow flowing in the direction of Ps as compared with the Pc mass flow rate. Type-4 is 47% higher mass flow flowing in the direction of Ps as compared with the Pc mass flow rate.

The water distribution system should be invariably operated on continuous pattern for 24 hours a day. Occasionally, it is not practically possible to operate for 24 hours due to water shortage or financial constraints. Therefore an intermittent water supply is unavoidable in water shortage area and developing countries.But the intermittent water supply can introduce large pressure forces and rapid fluid accelerations into a water supply network. These disturbances may result in new pipe failure, leakage and secondary contamination.This paper proposed an improvement methodology to prevent the disturbances by intermittent water supply. For the study, the hydraulic variation of intermittent flow in water distribution system was measured and analyzed in the field by comparing with simulation of hydraulic model. Installations of control valves such as, pressure reducing and sustaining and air valves were employed for pressure and flow control. The effectiveness of the methods are presented by comparing hydraulic conditions before and after introducing the proposed solutions.

ZnO nanoparticles in the size range from 5 to 15 nm were prepared by zinc-lithium-acetate system. The morphologies and structures of ZnO were characterized by TEM, XRD and FT-IR spectra. UV-visible results shows that the absorption of ZnO nanoparticles is blue shifted with decrease in particles size. Furthermore, photoluminescence spectra of the ZnO nanoparticles were also investigated. The ZnO nanoparticles have strong visible-emission intensity and their intensities depend upon size of ZnO nanoparticles.

Experimental analysis has been carried out to investigate oil temperature control characteristics of the hydraulic system in a special vehicle. Hydraulic system performance is largely affected by oil temperature, and there are considerable malfunctions in the system for high temperature conditions caused by heavy load and continuous operation. Oil pressure in the hydraulic system decreases with oil temperature, and its variation rate becomes less steep as oil temperature increases. There is severe time delay for oil temperature control due to the operation of heat exchanger system, and it depends on the oil flow rate and pressure in the system. These results in this study can be applied to the design of automatic thermal control system in the special vehicle hydraulic system.

This study aims to analyze the performance of a submersible fish cage which was designed for developing an economical cage system can be applied in korean aquaculture environment easily. To analyze the performance of the designed cage a model test was carried out. In the test, inclination changes of the upper frame and mooring tensions of model cage were measured during the submerging and surfacing motion in still water and wave condition (period: 2s, wave height: 0.1, 0.2, 0.3m). As a result, in the still water condition the model cage kept horizontal balance and inclination degree of the upper frame was about 1˚. In the wave condition, the model cage showed bilateral symmetric up-and-down motion but the average inclination degree of the upper frame was about 0˚. When the model cage reached at a depth of 1m, the up-and-down motion of the cage was decreased by 12% compared with that of at the surface (period 2s, height 0.3m). In the same wave condition, the maximum and average line tension under the bottom position were about 8% and 11% respectively compared with that of at surface.
