Injection visualization of heated mixed simulant droplets based on hydrocarbon fuel was performed under supercritical state environment. Mixed simulant consisted of Decane and Methylcyclohexane with different critical pressure and critical temperature. Flows injected into the supercritical state environment created droplet by Rayleigh breakup mechanism, and the Oh number and Re number were determined to confirm the breakup area. The temperature of the mixed simulant varied from Tr=0.49 to Tr=1.34. The flow rate was maintained at 0.7 to 0.8 g/s. Droplet became shorter in breakup length as heated and into a lumped form. Second droplet was formed and when Tr=1.34, the phase was not visible in the supercritical state with local unsteady flow.

Daidzein and genistein were extracted from Korean soybean by supercritical $CO_2$ and sub/supercritical water. The extracted sample was analyzed by reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). The retention time, retention factor, column efficiency, column selectivity and resolution of aglycons were compared with the change in the temperature and pressure of supercritical fluid and ethanol concentration. The characteristics of extraction of daidzein and genistein were more affected by ethanol concentration using supercritical $CO_2$. The most desirable extraction yield was obtained by supercritical $H_2O$ with $400^{\circ}C$ and 250 bar. Generally, the extraction yield of aglycons increased over 10 times using supercritical $CO_2$ than sub/supercritical $H_2O$.

Side wall samples from a used automotive tire were subjected to subcritical and supercritical decomposition and extraction with three solvents, water, 28% ammonia solution and ammonia. For 6mm cube samples the rate of supercritical extraction with water followed a first-order kinetics with an activation energy of 140 kJ/mol. Solvent power of 28% ammonia so lotion at supercritical condition was found to be higher than supercritical water at initial extraction as pressure decreased. These phenomena were considered to be an effect of ammonia involved in water.

In this study, electroless plating of copper was performed on PET film by using the blend of supercritical $CO_2$ and plating solution. The optimum volumetric ratio of supercritical fluid and plating solution was found to be 1:9 and dispersion property was poor at $CO_2$ vol% langer than 10%. Electroless plating of copper was best at $25^{\circ}C$ and 15 MPa. Role of added supercritical $CO_2$ is not to increase solubility but to disperse and maintain Cu-particles as the 1st particles.

Characteristics of thermophysical properties and flow structures in a swirl injector at supercritical pressure have been investigated using the kerosene surrogate consisting of four species and various ideal and real gas equations of state. The quantitative comparisons of thermophysical properties for equations of state have been performed. Also, a large eddy simulation and preconditioning technique for getting an effective convergence rate are applied to analyze turbulent flow in a swirl injector. The flow characteristics in the injector has significantly different behaviors depending on the equations of state due to the different thermophysical properties in the injector. The Redlich-Kwong-Peng-Robinson equation of state provides the most suitable results in the wide range of temperature.

Turbulent flow and thermal fields of gaseous hydrogen/liquid oxygen flames at supercritical pressure are investigated by turbulence models. The modified Soave-Redlich-Kwong (SRK) EOS is implemented into the flamelet model to realize real-fluid combustions. For supercritical fluid flows, the modified pressure-velocity-density coupling are introduced. Based on the algorithm, the relative performance of six convection schemes and the predictions of four turbulence models are compared. The selected turbulence models are needed to be modified to consider various characteristics of real-fluid combustions.

Injection characteristics of a kerosene swirl injector of liquid rocket engine operating at supercritical environment have been investigated. Kerosene surrogate models are proposed to model the kerosene properties. Turbulent numerical model is based on large eddy simulation and contains Soave modification of Redlich-Kwong equation of state and Chung's model. Numerical analysis results at supercritical environment are compared with the one at transcritical condition. Differences of density and viscosity are analyzed at both liquid film and core gas in the swirl injector.

For understanding of high performance liquid rocket engine operating at high pressure, dynamic characteristics of liquid oxygen in a swirl injector operating at supercritical conditions has been numerically investigated. Turbulent numerical model is based on large eddy simulation and contains full conservation laws including Soave modification of Redlich-Kwong equation of state and Chung's model. Preconditioning method is applied to get an effective convergence rate. Numerical analysis results are compared with the one that ideal equation of state applied to. Differences of thermodynamic properties and mixing dynamics are investigated at liquid phase area inside injector and combustion chamber.

We investigated changes in the chemical composition of apple slices after pretreatment with supercritical $CO_2$. Total phenolic levels increased with increasing temperature, although the concentrations were lower in pretreated material than in fresh or untreated slices. The levels of vitamin C and malic acid in pretreated slices were also lower than in untreated or fresh apple slices. Little difference was evident among various pretreatmentconditions. It was found that supercritical $CO_2$ served not as a solvent but rather as a means of tissue compression. Supercritical $CO_2$ compressed the apple slices, causing juice to be extruded. The juice disappeared when the supercritical $CO_2$ pressure was released.
