The thermal degradation of polyethylene has been studied using a nonisothermal thermogravimetric technique under a nitrogen atmosphere condition at several heating rates from 10 to $50^{\circ}C/min$. To obtain information on the kinetic parameters, the dynamic thermogravimetric analysis curve and its derivative have been analyzed by a variety of analytical methods such as Kissinger, Freeman-Carroll, Flynn-Wall, Coats-Redfern, Chatterjee-Conrad, Friedman, Horowitz-Metzger, Ozawa and Denq methods. The comparative works for the kinetic results obtained from various methods should be performed to determine the kinetic parameters, because three are tremendous differences in the calculated kinetic parameters depending upon the mathematical method taken in the analysis. From this work, it was found that the apparent activation energy of HDPE was larger than those of LDPE and LLDPE.

Evaluation of chloride penetration is very important, because induced chloride ion causes corrosion in embedded steel. Diffusion coefficient obtained from rapid chloride penetration test is currently used, however this method cannot provide a correct prediction of chloride content since it shows only ion migration velocity in electrical field. Apparent diffusion coefficient of chloride ion based on simple Fick's Law can provide a total chloride penetration magnitude to engineers. This study proposes an analysis technique to predict chloride penetration using apparent diffusion coefficient of chloride ion from neural network (NN) algorithm and time-dependent diffusion phenomena. For this work, thirty mix proportions with the related diffusion coefficients are studied. The components of mix proportions such as w/b ratio, unit content of cement, slag, fly ash, silica fume, and fine/coarse aggregate are selected as neurons, then learning for apparent diffusion coefficient is trained. Considering time-dependent diffusion coefficient based on Fick's Law, the technique for chloride penetration analysis is proposed. The applicability of the technique is verified through test results from short, long term submerged test, and field investigations. The proposed technique can be improved through NN learning-training based on the acquisition of various mix proportions and the related diffusion coefficients of chloride ion.

The polymerization of methyl methacrylate(MMA) initiated by cobalt (II) nitrate in tetrahydrofuran (THF) has been studied. From the results of kinetic studies, the overall polymerization rate (Rp) could be expressed as following; $R_p=k\;[cobalt(Ⅱ)\;nitrate]^{0.5}\;[MMA]^{1.5}$ By considering the effects of chelating agent on the polymerization rate, it could be assumed that the monomer, MMA might form a coordination complex with cobalt(II) nitrate. In the presence of radical inhibitor hydroquinone, the inhibition time was observed. And the apparent overall activation energy was calculated to be 14.0 kcal/mole.

In this paper, the author investigate viscous effects on the characteristics of TP620 hydrofoil. The pressure distribution on the foil section in non-cavitating flow should be considered its characteristics of displacement thickness due to viscous effects. Theoretical potential theory, which neglects viscous effects do not agree with this analysis, especially at leading edge region of the foil. And, the efficiency of TP620 hydrofoil considering viscous effects is a little lower than that of the foil, which neglected viscous effects.

Dependence of graphitic structure on oxidation of carbon materials was discussed using furan resin-derived carbon with inorganic compounds such as SiC and TiO2 Oxidation of carbon was governed by active site. I. e surface area regardless of the degree of graphitization. When oxidation was considered for not unit weight but unit area graphitization was important factor for oxidation so that the degree of graphitization increased the oxidation rate was delayed. Graphite (tiO2 addition) and turbostratic graphite(SiC addition) were oxidized through the same mechanism. In carbon materials with different structure components more than 2 oxidation of each component was different and amorphous component without the influence of additives on the surface was selectively oxidized in the intial oxidation stage.

The characteristics of a gas-liquid Taylor (slug) flow in a square micro-channel with dimensions of $600{\mu}m{\times}600{\mu}m$ are experimentally investigated in this paper. The test fluids were nitrogen and water. The superficial velocities of the liquid and gas were in the ranges of 0.01 - 3 m/s and 0.1 - 3 m/s, respectively. The bubble and liquid slug lengths, bubble velocities, and bubble frequencies for various inlet conditions were measured by analyzing optical images obtained with a high-speed camera. It was found that the measured values (bubble and liquid slug lengths, bubble velocities) were not in good agreement with the values obtained using empirical models presented in the existing literature. Modified models for the bubble and liquid slug lengths and bubble velocity are suggested and shown to be in good agreement (${\pm}20$) with the measured values. Moreover, the bubble frequency could be predicted well by the relationship between the unit cell length and its velocity.

The effects of temperature and of $Na_2O$ and $SiO_2$ contents on the crystallization of zeolite A were studied, by examining crystallization curves and particle size distributions of final products at various crystallization conditions. Crystallization process could be simulated adopting the assumptions of constant linear growth rate and equilibrium between amorphous solid phase and soluble species. Rate constants were determined by comparing the simulated crystallization curves with experimental data. Rate constant for linear growth increased with temperature and crystallization rate at different mole ratio of $Na_2O/H_2O$ correlated reasonably well with increase of soluble species. The rate constant of crystallization did not increase with increase in mole ratio of $Na_2O/H_2O$, but the rate of nuclei formation and the fraction of soluble species were enhanced. The rate constants for linear growth of zeolite A were determined as $0.07{\sim}0.24{\mu}m{\cdot}min^{-1}$ at these experimental conditions Apparent activation energy was estimated as $49kJ{\cdot}mol^{-1}$.

In the process of pervaporation separation for aqueous ethanol solution through cellulose tai-acetate(CTA) membrane, the modelling on the solution-diffusion permeation mechanism was built up on the basis of sorption and permeation experimental results. Also its function type and parameter were examined. The composition of sorption equilibrium in three component system(Ethanol/Water/CTA) were compared with the calculated value by Flory-Huggins' equation using the pure component sorption data. In order to apply the thermodynamic equilibrium relationship between the membrane free composition in the membrane and the equilibrium composition in the liquid phase, the apparent activity this system, however, the results were not satisfied. Diffusion equations were expressed with the concentration gradient considering permeate alone, and a concentration-dependent diffusion coefficient which includes a parameter was used. And this model was fitted with the measured permeation rates. If the permeation rate and the amount of sorption of one component were much larger than those of the other, the bulk flow term could not be negligible. The flux and selectivity were increased with increasing temperature, and with decreasing downstream pressure.

The adiabatic two-phase flow in single rectangular microchannels was studied for different aspect ratios. The working fluids were liquid water and nitrogen gas. The hydraulic diameters of the rectangular microchannels were 490, 322, and $143\;{\mu}m$, and the widths of the microchannels were around $500\;{\mu}m$. The two-phase flow pattern was visualized using a high-speed camera and a long-distance microscope. This study was focused on bubble flow regimes. From the visualized images, the bubble velocity, bubble length, number of bubbles, and void fraction were evaluated. Further, the pressure drop in a single bubble was evaluated by using a unit cell model. The bubble velocity is proportional to the superficial velocity. Further, the relationship between the void fraction and the volumetric quality is linear. The pressure drop in a single elongated bubble is strongly related to the aspect ratio. Finally, the new correlation about the pressure drop of a single elongated bubble in the rectangular microchannel was proposed.

PG의 농도가 AM의 경피투과에 미치는 영향은 용해도곡선과 유수분배곡선의 교점인 40% 농도에서 투과극대를 보였다. 지방산 및 지방산 알코올의 촉진효과는 리놀레인산＞올에인산＞올레일알코올＞ DHA=EPA=라우린산의 순이었고 PG에 리놀레인산 또는 올레인산을 첨가한 경우는 PG 단독에 비해 129.9 및 43.0배의 투과를 나타냈다. 또, 리놀레인산의 농도증가 (2,5,10%)에 따라 피부/매질 간의 분배계수가 가장 큰 5% 농도의 리놀레인산을 사용했을 때 투과효과가 최대로 나타났다. 한편, AM의 농도증가에 따른 투과효과에 있어서는 포화용해상태인 2% 약물농도에서 투과 flux가 가장 컸다. 라우릴황산타트륨의 첨가는 유의성 있는 효과를 발현하지 못했고 지방산과 병용시에도 지방산 단독 사용시에 비해 오히려 투과를 감소시켰다. 종차에 따른 AM의 피부투과에 있어서는 리놀레인산을 투과촉진제로 사용한 결과 흰주와 무모마우스의 투과 flux가 각각 23.78 및 213.29 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$\textrm{cm}^2$/hr로 무모마우스가 8.97배 높았다. 흰주의 추출액 및 호모지네이트 중에서의 AM의 대사에 있어서는 겉보기 1차 분해속도정수가 표피측추출액, 장막측추출액, 호모지네이트에서 각각 0.0105, 0.572 및 6.153$hr^{-1}$로 호모지네이트 중의 분해속도가 가장 빨라 AM은 피부투과 중에 가장 많이 분해됨을 알았다.
