The effects of hydrogen enrichment to methane have been investigated with swirl-stabilized premixed hydrogen-enriched methane flame in a laboratory-scale pre-mixed combustor. The hydrogen-enriched methane fuel and air were mixed in a pre-mixer and introduced to the combustor through different degrees of swirl vanes. The flame characteristics were examined for different amount of hydrogen addition to the methane fuel and different swirl strengths. The hydrogen addition effects and swirl intensity on the combustion characteristics of pre-mixed methane flames were examined using micro-thermocouple, particle image velocity meter (PIV) and chemiluminescence techniques to provide information about flow field. The results show that the flame area increases at upstream of reaction zone because of increase in ignition energy from recirculation flow for increase in swirl intensity. The flame area is also increased at the downstream zone by recirculation flow because of increase in swirl intensity which results in higher centrifugal force. The higher combustibility of hydrogen makes reaction faster, raises the temperature of reaction zone and expands the reaction zone, consequently recirculation flow to reaction zone is reduced. The temperature of reaction zone increases with hydrogen addition even though the adiabatic flame temperature of the mixture gas decreases with increase in the amount of hydrogen addition in this experiment condition because the higher combustibility of hydrogen reduces the cooler recirculation flow to the reaction zone.

In this study, we modified silica nanoparticles with N-[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]ethylenediamine (TPED) silane coupling agent, which has one primary and one secondary amino groups in a molecule, to introduce amino groups on the silica surface. After modification of silica, we used 3-(acryloyloxy)-2-hydroxypropyl methacrylate (AHM) to introduce methacrylate groups by Michael addition reaction. We found about 30% of N-H groups on the TPED modified silica surface reacted with acrylate groups of AHM compared to about 85% of reaction between N-H groups of pure TPED with acrylate groups of pure AHM. This lower degree of Michael addition reaction for heterogeneous reaction between N-H groups on the solid TPED modified silica and liquid AHM compared to homogeneous reaction between pure liquid TPED and pure liquid AHM may be caused by lower mobility of grafted amino groups of TPED moiety and higher steric hindrance caused by solid silica particles.

The rate constants of the nucleophilic reaction of ${\alpha}$-(n-butyl)-N-phenylnitrone and its derivatives have been determined by ultraviolet spectrophotometry at $25^{\circ}C$ and a rate equation which can be applied over a wide pH range was obtained. Final product of the addition reaction was $\alpha$-phenylthiobutylidene-aniline. Base on the rate equation, genernal base effect, substituent effect and final product, plausible mechanism of addition reaction have been proposed. Below pH 3.0 the reaction was inititated by the addition of thiophenol, and in the range of pH 3.0∼10.0, proceeded by the competitive addition of thiophenol and thiophenoxide anion. Above the pH 10.0, the reaction proceeded through the addition of a thiophenoxide anion.

The enzyme-catalyzed Henry reaction was realized using deep eutectic solvents (DESs) as a reaction medium. The lipase from Aspergillus niger (lipase AS) showed excellent catalytic activity toward the substrates aromatic aldehydes and nitromethane in choline chloride:glycerol at a molar ratio of 1:2. Addition of 30 vol% water to DES further improved the lipase activity and inhibited DES-catalyzed transformation. A final yield of 92.2% for the lipase AS-catalyzed Henry reaction was achieved under optimized reaction conditions in only 4 h. In addition, the lipase AS activity was improved by approximately 3-fold in a DES-water mixture compared with that in pure water, which produced a final yield of only 33.4%. Structural studies with fluorescence spectroscopy showed that the established strong hydrogen bonds between DES and water may be the main driving force that affects the spatial conformation of the enzyme, leading to a change in lipase activity. The methodology was also extended to the aza-Henry reaction, which easily occurred in contrast to that in pure water. The enantioselectivity of both Henry and aza-Henry reactions was not found. However, the results are still remarkable, as we report the first use of DES as a reaction medium in a lipase-catalyzed Henry reaction.

The rate constants for the addition reaction of thiourea to nitrone derivatives were determind at various pH and reaction rate equation which could be applied over a wide pH were obtained. The substituent effects and general base catalysis for the addition of thiourea to nitrone derivatives were observed. On the basis of these findings, a plausible reaction mechanism for the nucleophilic addition of thiourea to nitrone was proposed.

The interfacial reaction, spangle and coating thickness of galvanized steel in Ni added Zn-0.18Al bath have been investigated. The size of spangle and thickness of reaction layer were observed under an optical microscope, SEM and EDS. Analysing the experimental results concerning spangle size of galvanized steel it was found that Ni addition in Zn-0.18Al bath tended to be minimized spangle size. For Zn-0.18Al bath, addition of 0.1Ni suppressed the formation of Fe-Zn intermetallic compounds but increased with Ni content above 0.1%. The coating thickness of galvanized steel was reduced with Ni addition in Zn-0.18Al bath, especially in Zn-0.18Al-0.05Ni bath. Addition of Al in Ni containing bath resulted in forming the Al-Ni intermetallic compounds such as $Al_3$Ni$_2$ and $Al_2$Ni which consist most of top precipitates.

Feasibility is investigated for reduction of chromium ore by Si sludge with mixed silicothermic and carbothermic reaction. The reduction behavior of chromium ore using Si sludge is investigated precisely to determine the effects of carbon addition, reaction time, and reaction temperature. The pellets are dropped into the furnace after temperature stabilized. As the amount of C addition increases, the amounts of CO and $CO_2$ gas generation increase. After the dropping of the pellets, the pellets are heated and the reaction starts at about 1,573 K or higher. The pellets maintain their shape until 10 min after the drop, and then melted. As the holding time increased, the size of the reduced metal particles increased. The chromium ore is rapidly reduced by the Si sludge, and the slag penetrated into the chromium ore and reduction progressed inside. As the reduction temperature increased, the reaction initiation time is shortened and the reaction fraction of the reduction reaction increased. As the reaction temperature increased, agglomeration of reduced ferrochrome metal is promoted.

Mixtures of very small amounts of additive, carbon and silica(about 0.46${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) which synthesized by the hydrolysis of ethyl silicate, the molar ratio of SiO2/C was fixed to 1/10, was nitrided at 145$0^{\circ}C$. It was considered that the optimum amount of additive to promote the nitridation reaction was below 2.0wt%. By the addition of additive, the nitridation reaction was promoted and formation of $\beta$-Si3N4 was promoted at 145$0^{\circ}C$ for 1hour, but, the nitridation reaction was decreased and the ratio of $\alpha$/$\beta$ of Si3N4, was increased at 145$0^{\circ}C$ for 5 hours. The crystal phase was $\alpha$ phase and the nitridation reaction was promoted and the particle size of silicon nitride was become smaller by the addition of $\alpha$-Si3N4, but silicon nitride of whisker-like form was produced by the addition of transition elements. There was a difference in the lattice constants of $\alpha$-Si3N4, but no difference in its of $\beta$-Si3N4 according to kinds of added substance and reaction time.

The addition of zeolite particles enhances the stability of mRNA molecules in a cell-free protein synthesis system. When $20{\mu}g/{\mu}L$ of zeolite (Y5.4) is added to a reaction mixture of cell-free protein synthesis, a substantial increase in protein synthesis is observed. The stabilizing effect of zeolite is most dearly observed in an in vitro translation reaction directed by purified mRNA, as opposed to a coupled transcription and translation reaction. Upon the addition of zeolite in the in vitro translation reaction, the life span of the mRNA molecules is substantially extended, leading to an 80% increase in protein synthesis. The effect of zeolite upon the mRNA stability appears be strongly related to the cation exchange (potassium to sodium) reaction. Our results demonstrate the possibility of modifying this biological process using heterogeneous, non-biological substances in a cell-free protein synthesis system.
