Bee venom (Apis mellifera) phospholipase $A_2$ solubilized in reversed micelles containing small amount of water stabilized by surfactant could catalyze the hydrolysis of dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC). A sensitive and simple high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) methodology of phospholipase $A_2$ assay for the hydrolysis of DPPC was developed. Kinetic analysis of the phospholipase $A_2$-catalyzed reaction was found to be possible in reversed micelles. Among the surfactants and organic solvents tested, aerosol-OT and isooctane were most effective for the hydrolysis of DPPC in reversed micelles. Optimal temperature, optimal pH, $K_{m,app.},\;V_{max.,app.}$ and activation energy were determined to be $35{\sim}40^{\circ}C$, 7.0, 8.73 mM, 2.83 units/㎎ protein and 12.31 kcal/mole, respectively. The hydrolysis activity was dependent on water content and maximum activity was obtained at R value (=[water]/[aerosol-OT]) of 10.0.

The enantioselective hydrolysis of racemic styrene oxide in organic solvents was conducted using a recombinant E. coli expressing protein-engineered Mugil cephalus epoxide hydrolase (McEH). The volumetric total activity of the recombinant E. coli was enhanced 2.2-fold by IPTG induction at a mid-exponential growth phase. Among organic solvents with different log P values, isooctane was chosen based on the high activity and the enantioselectivity of McEH. Some lyoprotectants such as skim milk or sucrose enhanced the McEH activity. Enantiopure (S)-Styrene oxide with a 98% ee was obtained from the racemic styrene oxide with a 53.6% yield based on its theoretical yield in isooctane.

Iso-octane, n-heptane and their blends were tested in a constant volume combustion chamber to measure laminar flame speeds. The experimental apparatus was automatically controlled to enhance the accuracy and data acquisition speed. A large database of laminar flame speeds at elevated temperatures and pressures was established. From this database, laminar flame speeds of iso-octane, n-heptane and their blends were investigated and analysed to derive new correlation to predict laminar flame speeds at any blending ratio. The new flame speed model was successfully applied to these fuels with limited range of errors.

2단발포에서 금형시간이 천연고무(NR) 스폰지의 팽윤에 미치는 효과를 검토하였다. Kneader와 Rollmill을 사용하여 NR컴파운드를 제조하고 높은 압력조건의 1차금형에서 부분가교시킨 후 대기압의 2차 금형에서 발포와 가교를 완성시켰다. NR스폰지의 겉보기밀도를 측정하고 주사전자현미경을 사용하여 셀구조를 관찰하였다. 얻어진 스폰지에 대하여 실온에서 톨루엔, 이소옥탄, 항공유에 의한 팽윤거동을 조사하였다. 1차금형시간이 증가하면 NR스폰지의 겉보기밀도가 증가하고 팽윤비가 감소하였다. 2차금형시간이 증가하면 NR스폰지의 겉보기밀도가 감소하고 팽윤비가 증가하였다. 용매의 접촉에 의한 NR 스폰지의 부피팽윤비를 높이기 위하여 금형에서 동시에 발생하는 발포제의 분해반응과 NR의 가교반응을 적절히 조절하는 것이 중요하다.

The oxidation of surrogate mixtures for gasoline fuel was studied numerically in perfectly stirred reactor(PSR) to develope the needed detailed reaction mechanism. The reaction mechanism was assembled with the mechanisms for the oxidation of iso-octane or kerosene. It was shown that the reaction model predicted reasonably well the concentration profiles of fuel and major species reported in the literature. As the addition of kerosene into iso-octane as fuel was increased, the concentrations of $C_2H_2$ and benzene became high. Especially benzene known as a carcinogen appeared at a very high concentration in the flue gases.

The HCCI engines have been known with high efficiency and low pollution and can be actualized as the new internal combustion engines. However, As for(??) the ignition and combustion depend strongly on the oxidation reaction of the fuel, so it is difficult to control auto-ignition timing and combustion duration. Purpose of this paper is creating the database for development of multi-dimensional simulation and investigating the influence of different molecular structure. In this research, the effect of n-heptane mole ratio in fuel (XnH) on the ignition delay from homogeneous charge compression ignition(HCCI) has been investigated experimentally. By varying the XnH, it was possible to ascertain whether or not XnH is the main resource of ignition delay. Additionally, the information on equivalence ratio for varying XnH was obtained. The tests were performed on a RCM (Rapid Compression Machine) fueled with n-heptane and iso-octane. The results showed that decreasing XnH (100, 30, 20, 10,0), the ignition delays of low temperature reaction (tL) and high temperature reaction (tH) is longer. And the temperature of reaction increases by about 30K. n-heptane partial equivalence ratio (fnH) affect on tL.and TL. When ${\phi}$nH was increased as a certain value, tL was decreased and TL was increased.

Laminar burning velocities of propane- and iso-octane-air mixtures have been numerically modelled over a wide range of equivalence ratio, pressure and temperature. These correlations are applicable to the modelling of stratified charged combustion like that of lean bum and GDI engine combustion. The numerical models are based on the results calculated by PREMIX code with Sloane's detailed chemical reaction mechanism for propane and FlameMaster code with Peters' for iso-octane. Laminar burning velocity for two fuels showed a pressure and temperature dependence in the following form, in the range of $0.1{\sim}4MPa$, and $300{\sim}1000K$, respectively. $S_L={\alpha}\;{\exp}[-\xi({\phi}-{\phi}_m)^2-{\exp}\{-{\xi}({\phi}-{\phi}_m)\}-{\xi}({\phi}-{\phi}_m)]$ where ${\phi}_m=1.07$, and both of ${\alpha}$ and ${\xi}$ are functions of pressure and temperature. Compared with the results of the existing models, those of the present one showed the good agreement of the recent experiment data, especially in the range of lean and rich sides. Judging from the calculated results of the stratified charged combustion by using STAR-CD, the above modelling prove to be more suitable than the other ones.

이온성 계면활성제 존재하에서 유기용매에 물을 첨가하면 물이 계면활성제에 약해 둘러싸이면서 유기용매에 용해되어 의사 이상계가 형성된다. 이러한 계를 역미셀 또는 W/O microemulsion이라고 하며 계면활성제로 둘러 쌓인 물분자 집하체를 water pool이라고 한다. 그런데, 10여년 전 water pool에 bipolymer를 용해시킬 수 있다는 사실이 밟혀짐에 따라 이러한 체계를 생체막을 단순화시킨 모형막으로서 막을 통해 일어나는 여러 가지 현상의 규명에 이용하거나 물에 불용성인 기질의 효소 촉매반응의 반응계로 이용하는 연구가 꾸준히 이루어져 있다. 본 강연은 역미셀계에 리파제를 용해시켜 유지의 가수분해를 유도함으로써 지방산을 생산하는 방법에 관한 연구이다. 역미셀계에서 리파제의 특성은 에멀전계와 비교했을 때 큰 차이가 없었으며 물과 계면활성제의 몰 비율(R값)은 효소의 초기반응 속도에 커다란 영향을 끼치는 인자로 나타났다. 올리브유 농도가 5%(v/v), AOT농도가 0.1M, 초기 물 농도가 1.0M의 조건에서 유지의 회분식 가수분해 실험을 행한 결과 이 기질은 거의 완전히 가수분해되었으며, 이 반응계에서 R값과 초기 물 농도는 반응의 평형에 커다란 영향을 끼치는 것으로 나타났는데 초기 물 농도가 증가할수록 평형 가수분해율은 증가하였단 이러한 결과를 반응속도론 측면에서 분석한 결과 역미셀계에서 리파제 반응은 에멀전계에서와는 달리 2차 반응을 따르는 것으로 나타났다. 물 농도가 평형 가수 분해율과 속도 변수에 끼치는 영향을 수학적으로 표시하기 위하여 2차 가역적 반응 속도론에 근거하여 가수분해율, 평형상수, 속도상수 둥을 나타내는 식을 유도하였고 이를 바탕으로 여러 가지 실험 조건 하에서 리파제 반응의 반응 시간에 따른 가수분해율을 예측한 결과는 실제 실험 결과와 잘 일치하였다(편차는 5%). 또한 속도상수와 R값과의 관계식 및 유도한 방정식을 이용하여 추정한 초기속도와 평형 가수분해율을 최대화하는 R값은 각각 10.4 와 11.4 였다.

The purpose of this study is experimentally to analyze that the fuel mass fractions of multi-component mixed fuels have an effect on the characteristics of spray ignition and combustion under the ambient conditions of diesel combustion fields. The characteristics of ignition and combustion were investigated by chemiluminescence images and direct photography. The experiments were conducted in the RCEM(rapid compression expansion machine) with optical access. Multi-component fuels mixed with i-octane, n-dodecane and n-hexadecane are injected in RCEM by the electronic control of common rail injector. Experimental conditions set up 42, 72 and 112 MPa in injection pressure, 700, 800 and 900 K in ambient gas temperature. The results show that the ignition delay was dependent on high cetane number. In case of low ambient temperature, the more low boiling point fuels were mixed, the lower luminance regime had a remarkable effect and also shortened diffusion combustion by increasing heat release rate.

과산화물 가교제의 농도가 헬리콥터 연료탱크의 자기밀폐층 소재로 적용시키기 위한 천연고무 스폰지의 팽윤에 미치는 효과를 조사하였다. 천연고무 콤파운드를 Kneader와 Roll-Mill을 활용하여 제조하고, 고압조건의 프레스에서 부분 가교시킨 후 대기압의 금형에서 발포와 완전가교를 실시하였다. 얻어진 스폰지의 겉보기밀도를 측정하고 스폰지의 셀구조를 주사전자현미경을 통하여 관찰하였다. 톨루엔, 이소옥탄과 항공유를 사용하여 실온에서 팽윤실험을 실시하였다. 용매에 2분 동안 침적 후 얻어지는 부피팽윤비 값은 과산화물 농도가 감소함에 따라 증가하다가 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 스폰지의 겉보기밀도와 셀구조는 과산화물 함량에 매우 민감하였으며 이는 또한 천연고무 스폰지의 팽윤거동에 영향을 미쳤다. 천연고무 스폰지가 연료와 접촉하여 신속한 팽윤이 얻어지기 위하여 금형에서 동시에 발생하는 두 가지 반응인 발포제의 분해반응과 천연고무의 가교반응을 적절히 조절하는 것이 중요하다.
