A unique porous material with controlled pore characteristics can be fabricated by the freeze-drying process, which uses the slurry of organic material as the sublimable vehicle mixed with powders. The essential feature in this process is that during the solidification of the slurry, the dendrites of the organic material should repel the dispersed particles into the interdendritic region. In the present work, a model experiment is attempted using some transparent organic materials mixed with glass powders, which enable in-situ observation. The organic materials used are camphor-naphthalene mixture (hypo- and hypereutectic composition), salol, camphene, and pivalic acid. Among these materials, the constituent phases in camphor-naphthalene system, i.e. naphthalene plate, camphor dendrite, and camphornaphthalene eutectic exclusively repel the glass powders. This result suggests that the control of organic material composition in the binary system is useful for producing a porous body with the required pore structure.

입자기반 전산유체역학 기법은 유체역학에서의 라그란지안 접근법에 기반을 두고 있다. 입자기반 방식은 입자 각각이 물리량을 가지고 움직이며 이러한 입자의 움직임을 추적하는 방식으로 유체의 거동을 구현할 수 있다. 이러한 방식은 격렬한 움직임에 의한 자유표면 혹은 경계면의 운동 재현에 우수성이 있으나 연속체역학을 위반할 수 있다는 문제점 역시 포함하고 있다. 이를 반대로 말하자면 특별한 조치를 취하지 않는 경우에는 연속체가 아닌 물질에 대한 구현이 매우 쉽게 가능하다는 것이기도 하다. 이에 따라, 기존의 유체에서 사용되는 입자기반 전산해석방식을 지배방정식 단계에서부터 고체입자형으로 변형이 가능하다는 것을 알 수있다. 본 연구에서는 입자기반 전산해석방식을 고체입자에 알맞은 형태로 변환하였다. 변환을 위해 유체에서 사용되는 점성항을 제거하고 대신 마찰항을 추가하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 고체입자형 전산해석 프로그램을 이용하여 고체입자의 붕괴를 구현하였으며 이를 유체입자 붕괴와의 비교를 통해 입증하였다. 또한 유체입자가 가질 수 없는 고체입자만의 특성인 안식각을 구현하여 고체입자를 위한 입자기반 전산해석 프로그램을 완성하였다.

Facilitated transport membranes in the solid state have been attractive because they can improve both the permeability and the selectivity simultaneously to overcome the trade-off behavior. The carrier activity for facilitated transport plays a key role in determining separation performance. We have reported the solid-state facilitated transport membranes containing surface-activated Ag nanoparticles (NPs) as an olefin carrier for separation of olefin/paraffin mixtures, particularly propylene/propane mixture. Interestingly, the surface positive charge density of Ag atom in Ag NPs was linearly correlated with the propylene solubility and also with the propylene/propane selectivity. In addition, the separation performance has been maintained unchanged up to 500 hours.

Recently. with the rapid development in large sea water systems. there occurs much interest in the study of erosion-corrosion. In this study. the mild steel(SB41) was tested by using of a erosion-corrosion test apparatus with fountain-jet and was investigated under the environments of liquid, air-liquid 2 phase flow and solid particle-liquid 2 phase flow. Main results obtained are as follows : 1. The weight loss by corrosion-erosion in air-liquid 2 phase flow are more increased than that in only liquid solution. 2. Effect of air-liquid 2 phase flow on corrosion-erosion sensitivity becomes more sensitive in natural seawater than that in distilled water. 3. The corrosion potential by corrosion-erosion in air-liquid and solid particle-liquid 2 phase flow becomes noble than that of only liquid solution.
