This paper presents a LNG Liquefaction cycle configuration using two stages of methane expansion (i.e. spliting into two stages as warm & cold to generate an additional inflection point within a cold composite curve) and a single stage of nitrogen expansion to improve the efficiency of the conventional Methane & Nitrogen Expansion Cycle. In comparison with Double Nitrogen Expansion Cycel and Methane & Nitrogen Expansion Cycle, the cycle efficiency has increased approximately from 13.92 and 13.13 to 12.08 kW/ton/day (8~15% efficiency increase). A Life Cycle Cost (LCC) analysis based on Net Present Value (NPV) also show an improvement in therms of project NPV, against a minor increment of a CAPEX.

In this study, the cooling characteristics of combustion gas were investigated by injecting liquid nitrogen ($LN_2$) into a liquid rocket combustion chamber, which uses liquid oxygen (Lox) and kerosene as propellants. $LN_2$ injectors and an extended chamber for mixing were installed at the end of the ordinary LRE combustion chamber, and a nozzle was installed after the chamber for mixing. First, an ignition test of the liquid rocket engine was conducted to verify the stable combustion process. Next, a hot firing test was performed step-by-step for safety. Finally, the test was performed for 20 s. The results showed that the combustion gas of the LRE could be successfully cooled by using $LN_2$.

To produce mulberry-leaf tea abundant in ${\gamma}$-aminobutyric acid (GABA), mulberry leaves were subjected to two distinct anaerobic conditions ($N_2$ and vacuum) for 12 h before the manufacturing process. Subsequently, changes in the GABA content as well as that of other components were measured. In anaerobically treated mulberry leaves, GABA content markedly increased by 436-472% compared with the control, while the glutamic acid content decreased. However, few changes were observed in the contents of the general components (moisture, carbohydrate, lipid, protein, and ash) and water-soluble solids. Free sugar, catechin, and total phenol content decreased after anaerobic treatment. However, the sensory test scores were not different between the control and anaerobically-treated samples. Consequently, tea products, manufactured post nitrogen gas or vacuum treatment of leaves after harvest, showed functional properties without sensory loss.

KSTAR(Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research) 핵융합 실험 장치의 진공용기 및 진공용기 내부의 플라즈마 대향 부품들은 초고진공 (5$\times$10-9 Torr)의 달성을 위해 진공용기 내부의 이물질(H2, H2O, CO, CO2, CH4 등) 제거를 목적으로 SS316LN인 진공용기는 25$0^{\circ}C$, 탄소 물질인 플라즈마 대향부품은 35$0^{\circ}C$ 정도까지 가열(이하 베이킹)할 필요성이 있다. 이 가열방법으로 고온 질소가스를 진공용기 이중벽 사이로 흘려주는 방식과 코일에 저주파 교류전류를 흘려 진공용기를 유도가열하는 방식이 고려되고 있는데, 유도가열방식은 최대 유도 전력이 70kW 정도로 실제 베이킹에 필요한 열량을 공급하는데 있어 적잖이 부족하며 또 국부적인 가열 특성으로 인하여 KSTSR의 베이킹 방식은 전자의 가열방식을 우선적으로 채택하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 0-차원 해석을 통하여 진공용기와 플라즈마 대향 부품들에 대한 베이킹 계획을 결정하고 이를 만족시키기 위해 투입해야 할 열량을 직선적으로 증가하는 온도 곡선에서 각 부분의 온도 상승률을 다르게 설정한 세 경우와 F-자 형태로 변화하는 온도 곡선의 경우에 대해 각각 적용하여 시간에 따른 필요열량을 비교.검토하였으며, 이를 근거로 안정적인 베이킹 계획을 선정하였고 이 베이킹 계획의 실현을 위해 투입해야 할 고온 질소가스의 유량과 온도 도달시간까지 매 시간에서의 가스온도를 산출하였다. 토러스 형상의 토카막 진공용기와 플라즈마 대향 부품 및 다층단열재에 대한 해석 모델은 길이가 유한한 0-차원 실린더 모델로 가정하였고, 이에 대한 기하학적 성질 및 열역학적 성질은 유효계수를 고려하여 산출하였다. 진공용기 이중 벽 내부로 흐르는 질소가스의 유량과 온도의 계산은 진공용기 내벽과 외벽을 각각 독립적인 열전달 요소로 가정하여 구성한 모델을 이용하였다. 전체 해석에서 각 열전달 요소의 비열 값은 온도에 따라 변화하는 비열의 특성을 반영하였으며. 진공용기와 플라즈마 대향 부품의 방사율(emissivity)은 앞서 가정했던 각 온도 상승 곡선에 대해서 각각 0.1, 0.2, 1.3의 경우를 가정하여 계산하였다. 직선적으로 증가하는 온도 상승 곡선중 2$0^{\circ}C$/hr의 온도상승율을 갖는 경우가 다른 베이킹 시나리오 모델에 비해 효과적이라 생각되며 초대 필요 공급열량은 200kW 정도로 산출되었다. 실질적인 수치를 얻기 위해 보다 고차원 모델로의 해석이 필요하리라 생각된다. 끝으로 장기적인 관점에서 KSTAR 장치의 베이킹 계획도 살펴본다.

질소가스 분위기 중에서 Cu30V70 및 Fe30Cr70 혼합분말을 기계적 합금화 (MA)처리한 결과, 두 합금계에서 비정질화가 관찰되었다. 결정질에서 비정질상으로의 구조변화 과정을 Xtjs 회절 및 중성자 회절법에 의해 관찰되었다. 결정질에서 비정질상으로의 구조변화 과정을 X선 회절 및 중성자 회절법에 의해 관찰하였다. 그 결과, 이 합금계에서의 비정질화는 각 결정구조에서 전형적으로 존재하는 8면체 unit가 선택적으로 붕괴되어 4면체 unit로 변화되어 가는 과정임을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 중성자회절 결과로부터 질소원자는 금속원자로 이루어진 4면체의 중심에 위치하고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

An experimental study has been carried out to investigate the possibilities of an industrial $N_2$ generator that it replace Halon series as a natural extinguishing system. And this study comparison design standard of gas series extinguishing system with natural extinguishing system. We manufactured simple protected enclosure for analyzing fire-extinguishing performance of the $N_2$ generator. As a $N_2$ gas is exhausted on protected enclosure, a various of Oxygen concentration is measured to analyze fireextinguishing performance experimentally. The results, in case of $100m^3$ protected enclosure and $5m^3$/min $N_2$ flow rate, the Oxygen concentration is decreased below 15% within 3 minutes. And so, the $N_2$ generator make full use of an suffocating extinguishing system.

For the launch preparation of KSLV-I, gaseous nitrogen with various level of pressure and cryogenic liquid nitrogen are required. Nitrogen Supply System on launch complex has been developed to perform the production of high pressure gaseous nitrogen, the production of gaseous nitrogen with temperature of 273 ${\pm}$ 2K for protection purge of launch vehicle after loading of propellant and the supply of cryogenic liquid nitrogen for cooling of fuel (kerosene) and oxidizer (liquid oxygen). The operational instability of vaporizer mainly caused by its heat transfer characteristics which sensitively depends on the atmospheric conditions was removed by introducing parallel installation of two vaporizer and their switching operation. The developed Nitrogen Supply System carried out its function successfully in preparation of KSLV-I flight tests.

To examine the effects of nitrogen flushing on the storage stability of red pepper powders, the color and capsanthin and capsaicin contents were investigated. Capsanthin and capsaicin contents of red pepper powders during their storage decreased as the increase of temperature. Nitrogen flushing packaging was good for the retention of capsanthin and capsaicin than air packaging. Brown color of red pepper powders during their storage differed with storage temperature and packaging condition, thus low temperature and nitrogen reduced the brown color substantially, L and b values by Hunter's color were almost not changed during 10 months storage of red pepper powders, and a value was decreased as the increase of temperature. Therefore, nitrogen flushing packaging for the storage of red pepper powders was good than air packaging.

We measured flame extinguishing concentration and flue gas composition in the n-heptane fuel cup-burner system using inert gas agents such as nitrogen, argon, carbon dioxide and their mixtures. The flame extinguishing concentration of binary gaseous mixture was well predicted by model which contains the flame extinguishing concentration and composition of pure components. The higher average specific gravity of the mixed inert gas agents, the more excellent flame extinguishing performance. And the structure of enclosed space also affects the fire extinguishing. The composition of carbon dioxide in the flue gas was decreased with increasing extinguishing agent used. Nitrogen monoxide production is not related with increasing nitrogen, but increased at rapid mass flow rate of air in the cup-burner.
