When a liquid rocket engine is started the oxidizer and fuel must be flowed into combustion chamber and gas generator with time differences. The wrong time difference between propellants or malfunction of ignition device can occur the explosion of combustion chamber due to detonation by energized premixed-propellants. Therefore it is important to observe the transient characteristic of propellants or to measure the inflow time of propellants into combustion chamber and gas generator. The measurement of static pressure is not enough to observe the propellants inflow time into combustion chamber and gas generator. By measuring dynamic pressure of main flow passage of propellants the accurate propellants inflow time could be investigated.

The flash point is one of the most important indicators of the flammability of liquid solutions. The flash point is the lowest temperature at which there is enough concentration of flammable vapor to form an ignitable mixture with air. In this study the flash points of ternary liquid solutions, n-nonane+n-decane+n-dodecane system, were measured using Seta flash closed cup tester. The measured values were compared with the calculated values using Raoult's law and empirical equation. The calculated data by empirical equation described the measured values more effectively than those calculated by Raoult's law.

For the design of the prevention and mitigation measures in process industries involving flammable substances, reliable safety data are required. An important property used to estimate the risk of fire and explosion for a flammable liquid is the flash point. Flammability is an important factor to consider when developing safe methods for storing and handling solids and liquids. In this study, the flash point data were measured for the binary systems {2-butanol + 2,2,4-trimethylpentane}, {2-butanol + methylcyclohexane} and {2-butanol + toluene} at 101.3 kPa. Experiments were performed according to the standard test method (ASTM D 3278) using a Stanhope-Seta closed cup flash point tester. A minimum flash point behavior was observed in the binary systems as in the many cases for the hydrocarbon and alcohol mixture that were observed. The measured flash points were compared with the predicted values calculated via the following activity coefficient (GE) models: Wilson, Non-Random Two-Liquid (NRTL), and UNIversal QUAsiChemical (UNIQUAC) models. The predicted data were only adequate for the data determined by the closed-cup test method and may not be appropriate for the data obtained from the open-cup test method because of its deviation from the vapor liquid equilibrium. The predicted results of this work can be used to design safe petrochemical processes, such as the identification of safe storage conditions for non-ideal solutions containing flammable components.

Ionic liquids are room-temperature molten salts, composed of organic mostly of organic ions that may undergo almost unlimited structural variation. We approach the new aspects of ionic liquids in applications where the semiconductor nanoparticles used as sensitizers of solar cells. We studied the effects of ionic liquids as capping ligand and/or solvent, on the morphology and phase of the CdSe/ZnS nanoparticles. Colloidal CdSe/ZnS nanoparticles were synthesized using a series of imidazolium ionic liquids; 1-R-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide ([RMIM][TFSI]), where R = ethyl ([EMIM]), butyl ([BMIM]), hexyl ([HMIM]), octyl ([OMIM]). The average size of nanoparticles was 8~9 nm, and both zinc-blende and wurtzite phase was produced. We also synthesized the nanoparticles using a mixture of trihexyltetradecylphosphonium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([$P_{6,6,6,14}$][TFSI]) and octadecene (ODE). The CdSe/ZnS nanoparticles have a smaller size (5.5 nm) than that synthesized using imidazolium, and with a controlled phase from zinc-blende to wurtzite by increasing the volume ratio of [$P_{6,6,6,14}$][TFSI]. For the first time, the phase and size control of the CdSe/ZnS nanoparticles was successfully demonstrated using those ionic liquids.

Purpose: By measuring and evaluating the risk of biodiesel through non-volatile residue (NVR) and flash point and explosion limit measurement at a specific temperature according to ASTM test standards, the risk of chemical fire causative substances is identified and a universal evaluation method By derivation and securing the risk-related data of the material, it can be used for the identification and analysis of the cause of the fire, and it can be applied to the risk assessment of other chemical substances Method: In order to measure the risk of biodiesel, it was measured using the non-volatile residue(NVR) measurement method, which measures how much flammable liquid is generated at a specific temperature. Heating was tested by applying KS M 5000: 2009 Test Method 4111. In addition, the flash point was measured using the method specified in ASTM E659-782005, and the energy supply method was measured using the constant temperature method. In addition, the explosion limit measurement was conducted in accordance with ASTM E 681-04 「Standard test method for concentration limits of flammability of chemicals(Vapors and gases)」 test standard. Result: As a result of checking the amount of combustible liquid by the non-volatile residue (NVR)measurement method, the non-volatile residue(NVR) of general diesel when left at 105±2℃ for 3 hours was about 30% (70% of volatile matter) and about 4% of biodiesel. In addition, similar results were obtained for the non-volatile residue(NVR)heating temperature of 150±2℃, 3 hours and 200±2℃ for 1 hour, and white smoke was generated at 200℃ or higher. In addition, similar values were obtained as a result of experimentally checking the explosion (combustion) limits of general diesel, general diesel containing 20% biodiesel, and 100% biodiesel. Therefore, it was confirmed that the flammability risk did not significantly affect the explosion risk. Conclusion: The results of this study suggested the risk judgment criteria for mixtures through experimental research on flammable mixtures for the purpose of securing the effectiveness, reliability, and reproducibility of the details of the criteria for determining dangerous substances in the existing Dangerous Materials Safety Management Act. It will be possible to provide reference data for the judgment criteria for flammable liquids that are regulated in the field. In addition, if the know-how for each test method is accumulated through this study, it is expected that it will be used as basic data in the research on risk assessment of dangerous substances and as a basis for research on the determination of dangerous substances.

Methyl frucloside was purified from the aqueous sugar/methyl fructoside solution by liquid chromatography using Amberlite IRA-900, strong anion-exchange resin. The optimum operating conditions, resolution and productivity of methyl fructoside were discussed to evaluate the practical feasibility of the proposed chromatographic separation process of methyl fructoside which is useful as a new starting material for sugar ester synthesis. The linear chromatography model with HETP was well applied to the chromatographic separation process of methyl fructoside and the theoretical solution successfully predicted the elution chromatogram of methyl fructoside and sucrose at different superficial linear velocity of eluent for rectangular feed with different loading volume of packed bed. The optimum operating conditions were found to be 75% with the loading volume of packed bed at 1.13 cm/min of the superficial linear velocity at $60^{\circ}C$, and gave the productivity of methyl fructoside of 7 mg/g-resin/h with the resolution of 1.1.

It is well known that $CO_2$ can be dissolved easily in imidazolium-based room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs). Because of the high $CO_2$ solubility in RTILs, membranes containing RTILs can separate easily gas mixtures such as $CO_2/N_2$ and $CO_2/CH_4$. In this study, we prepared poly(vinylidene fluoride)-hexafluoropropyl copolymer (PVDF-HFP) gel membranes with several RTILs and measured permeabilities of several gases. When the anion of ionic liquids was tetrafluoroborate($BF{_4}^-$), both $CO_2$ permeability and selectivities decreased as the carbon number of the cation increased. When the cation of ionic liquids was 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium[emim], $CO_2$ permeability of gel membranes containing bis(trifluoromethane) sulfoneimide($Tf_2N^-$) anion was double compared to those containing tetrafluoroborate($BF{_4}^-$) anion. However, $CO_2/N_2$ and $CO_2/CH_4$ selectivities of the $Tf_2N^-$ case were decreased, whereas the $H_2$ selectivity was almost the same for two cases.

Liquefied Petroleum Gas is divided into liquefied gases containing propane (C₃H₈) and butane (C₄H₁₀). The quality of LPG varies greatly depending on the composition of the mixture, so it is important to measure the composition accurately. It is difficult to determine the composition of the mixture because liquid and gas coexist at room temperature. Therefore, the uncertainty in determining the concentration of hydrocarbons by component is high, and there are many problems that differ from the actual content standard. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a mixed liquid propane standard gas for the composition and accurate concentration of hydrocarbon substances. Mixed liquid propane standard gas is manufactured into bellows-type constant-pressure cylinders by ISO-6142 (2015). The homogeneity of the four standard gases manufactured was confirmed to be GC-FID. The manufacturer's uncertainty of expansion was 0.01 % to 0.30 % and homogeneity was 0.03 % to 0.25 %. In this mixed liquid propane standard gas, the relative expansion uncertainty of weight method, manufacturing consistency, cylinder adsorption and long-term stability was developed within 0.26 %-1.3 9% (95% of confidence level, k=2).

투과증발법은 상부에 액체공급액이 반투과막과 접촉하고 있고 하부에 진공에 가까운 낮은 압력을 걸어줌으로써 투과물이 수증기로 제거되는 막공정의 하나이다. 막을 통한 분리는 혼합물의 각 성분이 막내에서 다른 용해도와 확산도를 가지고 있기 때문에 발생한다. 이 공정의 지배적인 전달 메카니즘은 용해-확산 모델을 기초로 하고 있기 때문에 전형적으로 투과증발막은 대개 미세다공성 지지체에 얇은 선택성을 가진 재료를 입힌 복합막을 사용한다. 본 연구의 목적은 선택성을 가진 상부층막이 키토산인 복합막에서 지지체 구조의 영향을 살펴보고 키토산 복합막에 대한 물-에탄올 분리에 대해 최적의 모델을 찾는 것이다. 투과증발막소재로서의 키토산은 친수성기를 가지고 있으므로 물과 알코올의 분리에서 물만을 선택적으로 흡수하여 투과시키는 우수한 성능을 지니고 있으나 더욱 효과적인 막성능을 발휘하기 위해서는 지지체의 역할 및 막성능에 영향을 끼치는 여러 가지 인자들을 고려해서 막을 설계하는 것이 필요하다. 여기서는 상부층의 막두께, 지지체의 특성, 피드 농도 등을 변화시켜 가장 적당한 모델을 예측하였다.
