It is necessary to calculate Apparent Activation Energy(Ea) in order to apply the equivalent age formula to predict compressive strength using the maturity method. For carbon reduction, it is necessary to consider the change of Ea by condition of GGBFS concrete, which is widely used today. In this study, as a basic study for the design of the compressive strength model of GGBFS concrete, the apparent activation energy of the GGBFS mixed paste was calculated through a calorimeter. The experiment was carried out at a hydration temperature of 10 to 30℃ with a paste test specimen having a GGBFS content of 0 to 80%. As a result, the GGBFS replacement rate of the paste increased, and Ea tended to increase as the temperature decreased.

Spinning detonations propagating in a circular tube were numerically investigated with a one-step irreversible reaction model governed by Arrhenius kinetics. Activation energy is used as parameter as 10, 20, 27 and 35, and the specific heat ratio and the heat release are fixed as 1.2 and 50. The time evolution of the simulation results was utilized to reveal the propagation mechanism of single-headed spinning detonation. The track angle of soot record on the tube wall was numerically reproduced with various levels of activation energy, and the simulated unique angle was the same as that of the previous reports. The maximum pressure histories of the shock front on the tube wall showed stable pitch at Ea=10, periodical unstable pitch at Ea=20 and 27 and unstable pitch consisting of stable, periodical unstable and weak modes at Ea=35, respectively. In the weak mode, there is no Mach leg on the shock front, where the pressure level is much lower than the other modes. The shock front shapes and the pressure profiles on the tube wall clarified the mechanisms of these stable and unstable modes. In the stable pitch at Ea=10, the maximum pressure history on the tube wall remained nearly constant, and the steady single Mach leg on the shock front rotated at a constant speed. The high and low frequency pressure oscillations appeared in the periodical unstable pitch at Ea=20 and 27 of the maximum pressure history. The high frequency was one cycle of a self-induced oscillation by generation and decay in complex Mach interaction due to the variation in intensity of the transverse wave behind the shock front. Eventually, sequential high frequency oscillations formed the low frequency behavior because the frequency behavior was not always the same for each cycle. In unstable pitch at Ea=35, there are stable, periodical unstable and weak modes in one cycle of the low frequency oscillation in the maximum pressure history, and the pressure amplitude of low frequency was much larger than the others. The pressure peak appeared after weak mode, and the stable, periodical unstable and weak modes were sequentially observed with pressure decay. A series of simulations of spinning detonations clarified that the unsteady mechanism behind the shock front depending on the activation energy.

This study compares the apparent activation energy(Ea) by ASTM C 1074 with that by setting time. As the result of this study, it is found that Ea by setting time was ranged from 15~21 KJ/mol. This value is smaller than that 30~50 KJ/mol by ASTM C 1074.

Techniques of thermal analyses such as DSC and TGA have been used in the study of activation energy (Ea) and frequency factor (A) depending on the particle size of RDX and HMX. Activation energy and frequency factor were calculated by Kissinger's method and Vyazovkin's method. As the particle size of RDX increased, TGA showed activation energy increased, but DSC didn't show. However, In case of HMX, as the particle size increased, both of DSC and TGA showed increase in activation energy. Moreover, Vyazovkin's method can obtain activation energy and mechanism according to decomposition of RDX and HMX.

The fluorine-containing epoxy resin, 2-trifluorotoluene diglycidylether (FER) was prepared by reaction of 2-chloro-${\alpha}$,${\alpha}$,${\alpha}$-trifluorotoluene with glycerol diglycidylether in the presence of pyridine catalyst. Curing behavior of FER/DDM system was investigated using dynamic and isothermal DSC. Cure activation energy (Ea) was determined by Flynn-Wall-Ozawa's equation. The rheological properties of FER/DDM system were studied under isothermal condition using a rheometer. Cross-linking activation energy (Ec) was determined from the Arrhenius equation based on gel time and curing temperature. As a result, the chemical structure of FER was confirmed by FT-IR, $\^$13/C NMR, and $\^$19/F NMR spectroscopy. The cure activation energy of FER/DDM system was 55.4 kJ/mol and conversion and conversion rate were increased with the curing temperature. The cross-linking activation energy of FER/DDM system was 41.6 kJ/mol and gel time was decreased with the curing temperature.

Degradation of cellulose during prolonged exposure in atmospheric conditions has been recognized as one of main problems in preserving cellulose-made products. The purpose of this research was therefore to study effects of borohydride reduction in improving both the color and strength retention of cotton fabrics artificially aged at temperatures ranging from $100^{\circ}C$ to $150^{\circ}C$. Results indicated that the fabrics treated with either sodium or tetramethylammonium borohydrides (TMA) were degraded at rates about one-half that of water-washed cotton. These results were consistent over the temperature range. Calculation of the activation energy (Ea) by different methods showed $Ea\;=\;25.5{\pm}\;1.5\;Kcal$, in keeping with measurements made by others at lower temperatures. The TMA-treatment was effective in minimizing discoloration of the fabrics with pre-baking, but not of the un-prebaked fabrics.

Gelation mechanism of xanthan-carob mixture (X/C) was investigated based on thermorheological behavior. Three X/C ratios (1:3, 1:1, and 3:1) were studied. Small amplitude oscillatory shear tests were performed to measure linear viscoelastic behavior during gelation. Temperature sweep ($-1^{\circ}C/min$) experiments were conducted. Using a non-isothermal kinetic model, activation energy (Ea) during gelation was calculated. At 1% total concentration, the Ea for xanthan fraction (${\phi}_x$)=0.25, 0.5, and 0.75 were 178, 159, and 123 kJ/mol, respectively. However, a discontinuity was observed in the activation energy plots. Based on this, two gelation mechanisms were presumed-association of xanthan and carob molecules and aggregation of polymer strands. The association process is the primary mechanism to form 3-D networks in the initial stage of gelation and the aggregation of polymer strands played a major role in the later stage.

Current-voltage (I-V) measurements of crystalline silicon solar cells was conducted under dark conditions with the temperature range of 260 K~350 K. Using the calculation method, we extracted the crucial factors of ideality factor (n) and activation energy (Ea) to investigate the carrier conducting path in the space charge region (SCR) and the quasi-neutral region (QNR). Values of n were decreased with increasing temperature in both SCR and QNR. We also conformed that the value of Ea of SCR was larger than that of QNR about 0.4 eV. The temperature dependence of n indicates that the carrier conducting path is dominated by carrier recombination-generation in the SCR region than in the QNR region.

Among the components of redox flow battery (RFB), the electrode serves as a diffusion layer of an electrolyte and a path for electrons and also is a major component that directly affects the RFB performance. In this paper, chloric/sulfuric mixed acidwas used as a supporting electrolyte in RFB system with Fe2+/Fe3+ and V2+/V3+ as redox couple. The optimum electrode and activation temperature were suggested by comparing the capacity, coulombic efficiency and energy efficiency according to the electrode type and activation temperature. In the RFB single cell evaluation using 5 types of carbon electrodes used in the experiments, all of them showed close to the theoretical capacity to retain the reliability of the evaluation results. GFD4EA showed relatively excellent energy efficiency and charge/discharge capacity. In order to investigate the electrochemical performance according to the activation temperature, GFD4EA electrode was activated by heat treatment at different temperatures of 400, 450, 500, 600 and 700 ℃ under an air atmosphere. Changes in physical properties before and after the activation were observed using electrode mass retention, scanning electron microscope (SEM), XPS analysis, and electrochemical performance was compared by conducting RFB single evaluation using electrodes activated at each temperature given above.
