Powder characteristics, such as density, size, shape, thermal properties, and surface area, are of significant importance in the powder bed fusion (PBF) process. The powder required is exclusive for an efficient PBF process. In this study, the particle size distribution suitable for the powder bed fusion process was derived by modeling the PBF product using simulation software (GeoDict). The modeling was carried out by layering sintered powder with a large particle size distribution, with 50 μm being the largest particle size. The results of the simulation showed that the porosity decreased when the mean particle size of the powder was reduced or the standard deviation increased. The particle size distribution of prepared titanium powder by the atomization process was also studied. This study is expected to offer direction for studies related to powder production for additive manufacturing.

강원지역은 우리나라의 다설지로서 복잡한 지형 때문에 강설량의 공간변동성이 크다. 특히 동풍조건에서 강설이 발생할 시 강설량의 공간적 변동을 예측하기 어렵다. 동풍조건에서는 강원지역 내 위치에 따라 대기환경조건이 다르며 이는 강설의 특성에도 영향을 줄 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 동풍 조건에서 태백산맥의 풍상측과 풍하측에서 강설의 미세 물리적 특성을 서로 비교 분석하였다. 강원지역 내 4개 관측지점을 선정하여 파시벨 수적계로 입자크기분포를 관측하였다. 얻어진 강설입자 크기 분포의 특성을 풍상측과 풍하측간 비교한 결과, 풍상측의 강설입자 크기 분포는 풍하측에 비해 넓은 분포를 가졌고 작은 강설입자의 수도 많았다. 강설입자의 수농도에 비례하는 보편특성수농도와 강설입자의 직경에 비례하는 보편특성직경 둘 다 풍상측에서 상대적으로 큰 값을 보였다. 또한, 얼음수함량과 강설강도 비교에서도 풍상측 지점에서 큰 평균값을 가졌다. 이 결과가 나타난 원인은 태백산맥 산사면에서 공기덩어리의 강제적 상승효과로 풍상측 지점 상공에 새로운 강설입자의 생성이 활발했기 때문으로 추정된다. 또한, 풍상측은 따뜻하고 습한 동풍이 불어오므로 이로 인해 지상기온이 0oC 근처에 머무르며 강한 부착과정이 일어나기 좋은 조건이다.

Recycled cenosphere, which is a hollow shaped particle from fly ash, has become attractive as a building material due to its light weight and excellent heat insulation and soundproof properties. In this paper, we investigated the effect of cenosphere size on the physical and optical properties. High brightness of cenosphere as raw material is required for a wide range of ceramics applications, particularly in fields of building materials and industrial ceramic tiles. Cenospheres were sorted by particle size; the microstructure was analyzed according to the cenosphere size distribution. Cenospheres were generally composed of quartz, mullite, and amorphous phase. Colour measurement corresponding to chemical composition revealed that the contents of iron oxide and carbon in the cenospheres were the major factors determining the brightness of the cenospheres.

The purpose of this study is to validate and verify a head nose exposure inhalation system for nano particle inhalation toxicity studies. Carbon nano tube(CNT) particles were generated by a chemical vapor deposition(CVD) generator. And purchased single wall carbon nanotubes(SWCNT) and multi wall carbon nanotubes(MWCNT) were generated by an atomizer. CNT particle distribution was measured by Scanning Nano-Particle Spectrometer(SNPS) and Condensation Particle Counter(CPC). Diameter and length of MWCNT generated by CVD were 10~40 nm and 220~20 μm respectively. Particle number concentration of MWCNT generated by CVD were 1.3×105, 4.1×104, 5.6×103#/cc in high, middle, low chamber respectively. Distribution of particles which were less than 100 nm was 45%. Particle number concentration of SWCNT generated by atomizer after magnetic stirring were 8.5×106, 5.3×105, 1.1×104#/cc and after sonication 6.7×106, 4.1×105, 9.5×103#/cc in high, middle, low chambers respectively. Particle number concentration of SWCNT generated by atomizer after magnetic stirring were 6.7×106, 4.6×105, 8.6×103#/cc and after sonication 7.7×106, 5.1×105, 1.3×104#/cc in high, middle, low chambers respectively. We set up head nose exposure inhalation system to conduct a study on nano particle inhalation toxicity. There were sufficient particle number concentrations of nano particles generated in each chamber.

In this paper we have studied the effect of water droplet size on nano-particle size distribution using SMPS(Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer)system. It can be seen that the unknown peak at >100 nm was caused by water droplets which did not dry completely when DI water was used as a solvent in the SMPS system. Therefore, it is important to dry water droplets generated from atomizer in the SMPS system when measuring the particle size distribution using less than 100 nm nano-particles in diameter. From this study, It can be concluded that the napion was a useful material as dryer ones and using EAG(Electro Aerosol Generator) as a particle generator was the most effective in reducing the effect of water droplets.

The effect of particle size distribution on green and sintered properties of Fe-Cr-Mo prealloy powder was investigated in this study. For the study, prealloyed Fe-Cr-Mo powders with different particle sizes were mixed as various ratios and cold compacted at various pressure and sintered at for 30 min, atmosphere in the continuous sintering furnace. The results shows that the powders with large particle size distribution have high compressibility and low ejection force. However the green strength are much less than those with small particle size distribution. Tensile prperties of the sintered specimes with large particles size also have high strength and elongation.

최근 들어 온난화 등의 영향으로 태풍이나 집중호우가 빈번히 발생하고 있으며 이로 인한 산지 도로의 산사태, 토석류, 상향침투수압 등에 의한 인명, 시설물 피해도 극심하게 나타나고 있다. 산지 도로의 상향침투수압은 심각한 포장 파손을 발생시키기도 한다. 산지 측의 높은 지하수위로 인한 상향침투수압을 감소시키기 위해서는 지하배수공법이 매우 효과적 이라고 판단된다. 지하배수 공법을 원활하게 작동하기 위해서는 배수기층이 적합한 투수계수와 지지력을 갖추어야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 적절한 투수성과 지반 지지력을 확보할 수 있는 최적의 배수기층 입도에 대한 연구를 수행하였다.

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.

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%.
