The correlationship between heat treatment condition and electrical properties of the Mn-Co-Ni oxide NTC thermistor for fuel level sensor was investigated by the X-ray diffractometry, density measurement, and electrical properties measurement such as resistivity, B constant, and thermal dissipation constant. It was shown that the heat treatment of NTC thermistor was responsible for sinterability of Mn-Co-Ni oxide. The highest density of 5.10 g/㎤ was obtained at $1250^{\circ}C$, 2 hours, at which the densification was almost completed. This is also manifested from the microstructural observation. It is found that the electrical resistivity and B constant are increased at the elevated sintering temperatures. The NTC specimens prepared in this study showed the conventional decrease of resistance with the measured temperature and the linear behavior of output voltage with fuel levels. Therefore, the electrical properties of thermistor were closely correlated with sintering condition. and the Mn-Co-Ni oxide thermistor prepared in this study has a great possibility enough to apply for an automobile fuel level sensor.

Van de Vusse reactors show the maximum points in input-output steady state maps and dramatic changes in their dynamic characteristics around those maximum points. According to their operating regions, there appear sign changes in steady state gains and nonlinear characteristics such as non-minimum phase dynamics which cause difficulties in applying controllers. Many nonlinear controllers that are available and newly designed are applied to these Van de Vusse reactor processes and their performances are tested. Reactor examples with real reactions have been reported. However, due to difficulties in constructing and operating chemical reactor systems, they are not adequate to be used for real applications of control experiments and hence most of results are based on simulations studies. Here, we propose a liquid level system that realizes most of the steady state and dynamic characteristics of Van de Vusse reactor, and two nonlinear control methods that can be used as base methods to compare nonlinear controllers newly designed. Liquid level experimental system and two nonlinear control methods are very simple and can be used to test performances of nonlinear controllers in practice.

The liquid level in a spherical tank was controlled with a micro-computer and the dynamic behavior of this non-linear system due to the variation of set point was studied. The adaptive control theory was used and the real values of controlled variables were compared with the theoretical values from a mathematical model.

An adaptive predictive level control of waste heat steam boiler was studied by using mathematical models considering the inverse response. The simulation experiments of the model identification were performed by using linear and bilinear models. From the results of simulations it was found that the bilinear model represented the actual dynamic behavior of steam boiler very well. ARMA model was used in the model identification and the adaptive predictive controller. To verify the performance and effectiveness of the adaptive predictive controller used in this study the simulation results of the adaptive predictive level control for waste heat steam boiler based on bilinear model were compared to those of P, PI and PID controller. The results of simulations showed that the adaptive predictive controller provides the fast arrival to setpoint of liquid level.

A new thermal type fluid level transmitter was designed and tested at the HITROL R&D institute. The relation of heat transfer and electric resistance was adopted as an operation principle. The length of a fabricated level transmitter was two meters and a water under normal temperature was used as a working fluid for the experiment Finally, the new product could have a high precision, acceptable accuracy and reasonable response time. Foreign-made level transmitter of this type is under in use for measuring water level of containment building in nuclear power plants so far. It is expected that new product will substitute it.

The influence of the central axis and the strut supporting the helical ribbon was investigated in a helical ribbon impeller mixing tank through experiments and visualization. As a result, the strut, which is in the transverse direction, turned out to have a significant adverse effect on the mixing performance such as the occurrence of incomplete mixing region from the change of the liquid level. In contrast, the central axis, which in the longitudinal direction, did not show much adverse effects.

Heating patterns depending on the packaging materials were examined in order to investigate the causes of thermal deformation of packages used for ready-to-eat foods for microwave heating due to the non-uniformity of microwaves. Physical properties including tensile strength, heat-resistance and elongation of four different CPP grades were compared. High retortable CPP had higher sealing strength and heat resistance compared to the conventional CPPs. All CPP samples tested were proved to have melting temperatures around $160^{\circ}C$. However, they were all thermally deformed by microwave heating due to a limited penetration of microwave and non-uniform heating within the spicy sauce of high viscosity contained high salt, especially on the above the filling line and sealing edge of pouches. When the laminated stand-up pouches composed of G-PET/PET/PET/CPP and G-PET/PET/NY/CPP were retorted and microwaved, significant deformations were noticed in both samples after retorting. Besides, pouches contained titanium dioxide showed more intense thermal deformation than the control. When the $10{\mu}m$ aluminium foil was affixed on the pouch, small thermal deformation was observed only in the bottom layer. More studies are required to prevent the thermal deformation of packaging materials used for RTE foods during microwave heating by developing the technologies to increase the thermal stability of CPP layer and the modification of packaging design to modify the microwave access into the package.

Water is removed from crude oil containing water by using oil separator. This study aims to develop a three-dimensional (3D) Eulerian computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model to predict the separation efficiency of air-water-oil separator. In the incompressible, isothermal and unsteady-state CFD model, air is defined as continuous phase, and water and oil are given as dispersed phase. The momentum equation includes the drag force, lift force and resistance force of porous media. The standard k-${\varepsilon}$ model is used for turbulence flow. The exit pressures of water and oil play an important role in determining the liquid level of the oil separator. The exit pressures were identified to be 6.3 kPa and 5.1 kPa for water and oil, respectively, to keep a liquid level of 25 cm at a normal operating condition. The time evolution of volume fractions of air, water and oil was investigated. The settling velocities of water and oil along the longitudinal separator distance were analyzed, when the oil separator reached a steady-state. The oil separation efficiency obtained from the CFD model was 99.85%, which agreed well with experimental data. The relatively simple CFD model can be used for the modification of oil separator structure and finding optimal operating conditions.
