The effect of moisture content of biocatalyst on the performance of a gas phase continuous bioreactor was investigated along with study on the mass transfer limitation. The biocatalysts whose moisture contents are 46.2% and 37.2%, respectively were prepared by immobilization of alcohol oxidase on Amberlite IRA-400, following by slow dehydration method, and packed into a column. Relative production rate (RPR), acetaldehyde composition ($X_p$) and conversion (X) of biocatalysts (37.2%) are better than those of biocatalysls (46.2%), and it was considered that these are attributed to the mass transfer enhancement in the gas phase compared with the aqueous phase.

The CSCM Upwind method and Material Transport Analysis(MTA) have been used to predict the thermal response and shape changes for charring/non-charring material which can be used as thermal protection material(TPM) on blunt-body nose tip. We performed intensive flight trajectory simulations to compare 1-D MTA results with those of 2-D/Axisymmetric MTA by using MTAs and Navier-Stokes code. Theheat-transfer rate and pressure distribution were predicted at selected altitudes and wall temperature along the flight trajectory and the shape changes of blunt-body nose tip were predicted subsequently by using current procedure.

The charateristics of the convective mass transfer in horizontal rectangular enclosure with horizontal concentration gradients are analyzed. The effect of Grashof number(Gr) and aspect ratio(L/H) is investigated numerically using the control-volume method. Numerical results are obtained for Grashof numbers between $10^4$ and $10^6$ aspect ratios from 1 to 100 and results are compared with existing andlytical results. It is found that there exists a well defined aspect ratio for which the mean Sherwood number is maximum and the core flow changes from parallel to non-parallel at $Gr^2{Sc^2}(A^{-3}}{\geq}{10^5}$ and in the Ralongrightarrow0 regime the numerical results agreed very well with correlation derived from analytical results.

The variation of regression rate of single port hybrid rocket was studied with various fuel. As fuel, PE, PMMA were used and gas oxygen as oxidizer. The regression rate depends on but flow rates of oxidizer also thermodynamic properties of fuel. In this study, the empirical relation for regression rate of solid fuel were found with mass transfer coefficient(B number) and oxidizer flow rate.

The aim of the present study was to assess the oxygen transfer rate and oxygen uptake rate in antibiotic fermentation. As a model study, cultures of Streptomyces kanamyceticus in a complex medium were analyzed to evaluate the oxygen transfer and uptake rates using oxygen balance technique. Quantitative evidence for the effect of oxygen transfer rate on the volumetric antibiotic production was clearly demonstrated. The oxygen uptake rates and the specific oxygen requirements were significantly changed with culture time. Those phenomena were indicative of biological turnover in the antibiotic fermentation.

On the absorber of absorption chiller/heater, LiBr solution at high concentration is sprinkled on a bundle of horizontal tube cooled by cooling water. In this case, the conditions of LiBr solution and cooling water have an influence on heat/mass transfer coefficient in this system. Therefor it is important to find optimal operation conditions of absorption chiller/heater to save energy. Heat and mass transfer coefficient increased with the increase of solution flow rate, and also heat and mass transfer rate increased but overall heat and mass transfer coefficient decreased by increasing the solution concentration within the experimental range. The superheating of the solution resulted in superior heat transfer character to a state of equilibrium from the point of heat flux and overall heat transfer coefficient.

The effect of the cobalt content on the thermodynamic and, heat and mass transfer properties of the $MmNi_{5-y}B_{y-z}C_z(y=0.5{\sim}1.5,\;z=0.5)$hydrogen storage alloys has been studied systematically. The P-C isotherms curves show that with increasing cobalt content in the alloys, the plateau pressure of the hydrogen absorption and desorption and enthalpy(${\Delta}H$) increases steeply and the plateau region becomes flat, while entropy(${\Delta}S$) decreases. Also at the constant cobalt content the hydrogen transfer rate decreases with the reaction temperature, while the initial reaction kinetics increases. But the initial reaction with hydrogen completes within 1min, although the reaction proceeds about 30minutes thereafter.

(Curtiss, 1976 ; Sharples, 1983 ; Rissler, 1984). 토양환경에서 GEM이 유전물질을 전달항 수 있는 기작은 크게 conjugation, transduction, transformation 등이 알려지고 있다. 여기서는 주로 토양환경에서 transformation에 의한 유전물질의 전달과정에 대한 최근 연구동향을 간단히 기술하고자 한다.

Falling film rectification involves simultaneous heat and mass transfer between vapor and liquid interface. In the present work, the adiabatic rectification process of ammonia-water vapor on the vertical plate was investigated. The continuity, momentum, energy and diffusion equations for the solution film and vapor mixture were formulated in integral forms and solved numerically. The model could predict the film thickness, the pressure gradient, and the mass transfer rate. The effects of Reynolds number and ammonia concentration of solution and vapor mixture, rectifier length, and the enhancement of mass transfer in each phases were investigated. The stripping of water in vapor mixture occurred new the entrance of ammonia solution, which imposed the proper size of an adiabatic rectifier. Rectifier efficiency increased as film Reynolds number increased and as vapor mixture Reynolds number decreased. The improvement of rectifier efficiency was significant with the enhancement of mass transfer in falling film.

추진기관의 연소실과 같이 큰 열부하를 받는 경우 막냉각은 연소실을 보호하기 위해서 사용되는 대표적인 냉각기법이다. 막냉각의 성능을 극대화하기 위해서는 냉각유체를 2차원 슬롯을 통해서 분사시키는 것이 가장 효율적이지만 여러 가지 이유 때문에 실제 적용에 있어서는 슬롯입구 부근에 작은 구멍을 만들어 이로부터 분사되는 유체를 통해서 냉각시키게 된다. 본 연구에서는 주어진 덕트에서 분사율, 분사방법, 슬롯의 형상에 따른 슬롯 출구에서의 유동장 및 온도장 측정과 함께 물질전달 방법을 이용하여 슬롯 립(slot lip) 내벽에서 자세한 국소 열/물질전달계수를 구하였다. 분사율 0.5와 1.0에 대해서 주유동과 같은 방향으로 분사시켜줄 경우와, 유동을 제한시켜 주고 이차유동의 방향을 각각 주유동과 같은 방향과 반대방향으로 분사시키는 방법에 대하여 실험하였으며, 슬롯 입구에 경사슬롯을 설치하여 냉각유체를 분사시키는 방법에 대해서 실험하였다.
