In this work, the reaction characteristics for the non-catalytic esterification of palm fatty acid distillate were analyzed. The esterification reaction was assumed as the pseudo homogeneous $2^{nd}$ order reversible reaction and 'reaction effectiveness factor (${\eta}$)' was used to take accounts into evaporation and reaction of water and methanol, which take place simultaneously in the liquid phase. The nonlinear programming was used to derive appropriate kinetic parameters, the reaction rate constant and mass transfer coefficient, minimizing the error between experimental data and the numerical values. Based on these parameters, the apparent activation energy was calculated to be 43.98 kJ/mol.

In this paper, for spatial multiplexing with limited feedback, we propose subspace method based preceding in which the active bases are selected at the receiver from a finite number of basis sets Down at both receiving and transmitting ends, conveyed to the transmitter using limited feedback, and assembled into a preceding matrix at the transmitter. The selected bases are conveyed to the transmitter using feedback information on both the index of the selected basis set, which defines the most appropriate set of coordinates for describing a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channel, and the principal bases maximizing the capacity in the selected basis set. We show that the proposed subspace method based preceding provides a capacity similar to that of the closed-loop MIMO even with limited feedback.

A main application of sensor networks are to monitor and to send information about a possibly hostile environment to a powerful base station connected to a wired network. To conserve power from each sensor, intermediate network nodes should aggregate results from individual sensors. However, it can make it that a single compromised sensor can render the network useless, or worse, mislead the operator into trusting a false reading. In this paper, we propose a protocol to give us a key aggregation mechanism that intermediate network nodes could aggregate data more safely. The proposed protocol is more helpful at multi-tier network architecture in secure sessions established between sensor nodes and gateways. From simulation study, we compare the amount of the energy consumption overhead, the time of key transmission and the ratio of of key process between the proposed method and LHA-SP. The simulation result of proposed protocol is low 3.5% a lord of energy consumption than LHA-SP, the time of key transmission and the ration of key process is get improved result of each 0.3% and 0.6% than LHA-SP.

The electrical load testing system developed from this study was designed to control rated-capacity-testing or variable-load-testing in an active and precise manner and save electric energy during testing, and also to convert the saved electric energy through the electrical load testing system to grid line. As for the device under testing, it was designed to be applied to not only transformer, rectifier, voltage regulator, inverter which require grid voltage source but, also applied to electric power, aerogenerator, photovoltaic, hybrid generator, battery, etc. which do not require grid voltage source. The system was designed to return the power consumed during the testing to the grid line by connecting the synchronizing pwm inverter circuit to the grid voltage source, and was also made to enable the being-tested system from disuse of approximately 93.4% energy when compared to the conventional load testing system which has used the passive resistor.

This paper reports a fundamental study of temperature characteristics of a solar pond with an insulation layer. Further, these characteristics were compared with those of a solar pond without the insulation layer. The governing equation was discretized via finite difference method. The governing equations are two-dimensional unsteady-state second-order partial differential equations. The conclusions of the study are as follows: 1) If the depth of the solar pond was increased, the desired effect of increase in temperature was not produced because the amount of solar insolation received by the bottom of the solar pond decreased. 2) As the temperature of the soil during winter is higher than the temperature of the water in a solar pond, heat was transferred from the soil to the solar pond. 3) For the case of the solar pond with insulation layer, it was estimated that the dependence rate of solar energy was 83.3% and that of the boiler was 16.7%.

As fiber reinforced composite materials are widely used in aircraft, space structures and robot arms, the study on non-destructive testing methods has become an important research area for improving their reliability and safety. AE (acoustic emission) can evaluate the defects by detecting the emitting strain energy when elastic waves are generated by the initiation and growth of crack, plastic deformation, fiber breakage, matrix cleavage, or delamination. In the paper, AE signals generated under uniaxial tension were measured and analyzed using the $8{\times}8$ matrix piezo electric sensor. The electronic circuit to control the transmitting distance of AE signals was designed and constructed. The optical data storage system was also designed to store the AE signal of 64channels using LED (light emitting diode) elements. From the tests, it was shown that the source location and propagation path of AE signals in composite materials could be detected effectively by the $8{\times}8$ matrix piezo electric sensor.

In this study, we have fabricated a fiber-optic dosimeter using an organic scintillator and a plastic optical fiber. The dosimeter measure skin dose and percentage depth dose in a build-up region for an incident high energy photon beam. The scintillating light generated in the organic sensor probe embedded in a solid water phantom is guided by 30 m plastic optical fiber to a light-measuring device such as a PMT or an electrometer. In addition, using a fiber-optic dosimeter or a GAFCHROMIC EBT film, skin dose and percentage depth dose in the build-up region are measured and compared.

Direct hydrazine fuel cells (DHFCs) have been considered to be one of the promising fuel cells because hydrazine as a liquid fuel possesses several advantages such as no emission of CO₂, relatively high energy density and catalytic activity over platinum group metal (PGM)-free anode catalysts. Judging from plenty of research works, however, regarding key components such as electrocatalysts as well as their physicochemical properties, it becomes quite necessary to understand better the underlying processes in DHFCs for the long term stability. Herein, we highlight recent studies of DHFCs in terms of a systematic approach for developing cost-effective and stable anode catalysts and electrode structures that incorporate mass transport characteristics of hydrazine, water and gas bubbles.

The various systems as the seismic resistance systems are used to reduce the seismic response of structure. And the seismic isolation system among them is the system that reduces the seismic vibration to be transmitted from foundation to upper structure. The purpose of isolation system is to lengthen the period of structure and make its period shift from the dominant period of earthquake. In this study, the seismic behavior of arch structure with lead rubber bearing(LRB) and friction pendulum system(FPS) is analyzed. The arch structure is the simplest structure and has the basic dynamic characteristics among large spatial structures. Also, Large spatial structures have large vertical response by horizontal seismic vibration, unlike seismic behavior of normal rahmen structures. When horizontal seismic load is applied to the large spatial structure with isolation systems, the horizontal acceleration response of the large spatial structure is reduced and the vertical seismic response is remarkably reduced.

The main objectives of this study are to investigate the micro-scale energy transfer mechanism for silicon wafer and to find an efficient way for fabrication of silicon wafer through-hole by using the femtosecond pulse laser ablation. In addition, the electron-phonon interactions during laser irradiation are discussed and the carrier number density and temperatures are estimated. In particular, the present study observes the shapes of silicon wafer through-hole with $100\;{\mu}m$ diameter and it also measures the heat-affected area and the ablation depths fur different laser fluences by using the optic microscope and the three-dimensional profile measurement technique. First, from numerical investigation, it is found that the nonequilibrium state exists between electrons and phonons during laser irradiation. From experimental results, it should be noted that the heat-affected area increases with laser fluence, and the optimal conditions for through-hole formation with minimum heat affected zone are finally obtained.
