This paper is to present the strength estimation of the cement mortar incorporating 20% of fly ash by equivalent age method. ASTM C 1074 was applied to achieve apparent activation energy($E_a$). Cement mortar was cured at the temperature of $5^{\circ}C$, $20^{\circ}C$ and $35^{\circ}C$ respectively to measure the setting time and compressive strength at designed age. According to test results, it is found that an increase in curing temperature resulted in an acceleration of setting time. $E_a$ was achieved to 34.75 KJ/mol. It was also found that by estimating strength development with Plowman and Gompertz model, good agreement between calculated value and measured one was achieved.

This study was performed by experiments with ASTM's apparatus for determination of autoignition temperature to obtain autoignition characteristics of 1-Heptene, 2-Heptene and 3-Heptene, respectively. As results, minimum autoignition temperatures (MAIT) of 1-Heptene, 2-Heptene and 3-Heptene were 246$^{\circ}C$, 248$^{\circ}C$ and 254$^{\circ}C$, respectively and each dropping volume of these temperatures was 0.25$m\ell$, 0.20$m\ell$ and 0.20$m\ell$. Instantaneous ignition temperatures measured at each dropping volume of Heptene were 371$^{\circ}C$, 357$^{\circ}C$ and 342$^{\circ}C$, respectively. Relation ignition delay time with ignition temperature at minimum autoignition temperature agreed well with Semenov's equation, and the values of apparent activation energy from this equation were 47Kca1/mo1 for 1-Heptene, 35Kca1/mo1 for 2-Heptene and 29Kca1/mo1 for 3-Heptene. It was found that the values of apparent activation energy decreased as the position of double bond changed from end to center in C-C chain.

Isotropic pitch based carbon fibers were exposed to isothermal oxidation in carbon dioxide gas to study the activation kinetics under the temperature of 800~$1100^{\circ}C$. The kinetic equation $f=1-{\exp}(-at^b)$ was introduced and the constant b was obtained in the range of 0.92~1.25. It was shown that the activated carbon fiber shows the highly specific surface area (SSA) when the constant b comes close to 1. The activation kinetics were evaluated by the reaction-controlling regime (RCR) according to changes of the apparent activation energy with changes of the conversion. It was observed that the activation energies increase from 47.6 to 51.2 kcal/mole with the conversion increasing from 0.2 to 0.8. It was found that the pores of the activated carbon fiber under the chemical reaction were developed well through the fiber.

A kinetic study has been made for the growth of nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) particles to a continuous thin film on silicon substrate in a microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition reactor. Parameters of deposition have been microwave power of 1.2 kW, the chamber pressure of 110 Torr, and the Ar/$CH_4$ ratio of 200/2 sccm. The deposition has been carried out at temperatures in the range of $400\sim700^{\circ}C$ for the times of 0.5~16 h. It has been revealed that a continuous diamond film evolves from the growth and coalescence of diamond crystallites (or particles), which have been heterogeneously nucleated at the previously scratched sites. The diamond particles grow following an $h^2$ = k't relationship, where h is the height of particles, k' is the particle growth rate constant, and t is the deposition time. The k' values at the different deposition temperatures satisfy an Arrhenius equation with the apparent activation energy of 4.37 kcal/mol or 0.19 eV/ atom. The rate limiting step should be the diffusion of carbon species over the Si substrate surface. The growth of diamond film thickness (H) shows an H = kt relationship with deposition time, t. The film growth rate constant, k, values at the different deposition temperatures show another Arrhenius-type expression with the apparent activation energy of 3.89 kcal/mol or 0.17 eV/atom. In this case, the rate limiting step might be the incorporation reaction of carbon species from the plasma on the film surface.

Absorption and regeneration characteristics of sorbent used in a fluidized-bed process to capture $CO_2$ from flue gas have been measured in a thermo gravimetric analyzer. A sorbent Sorb NH prepared for fluidized-bed process was faster than pure $Na_2CO_3$ in absorption and regeneration reaction rate. Activation energy of apparent absorption reaction of sorbent Sorb NH was estimated as -10,100 cal/g mol and that of pure $Na_2CO_3$ as -12,200 cal/g mol. Activation energy of apparent regeneration reaction of sorbent Sorb NH was estimated as about 12,050 cal/g mol and that of pure $Na_2CO_3$ as about 11,320 cal/g mol.

Co/Al₂O₃ nanopowder was used as a catalyst to investigate the effect of catalyst support, reduction temperature, sodium borohydride (NaBH₄) concentration, sodium hydroxide (NaOH) concentration, and reaction temperature on the characteristics of NaBH₄ hydrolysis. The Co/Al₂O₃ nanopowder showed a high catalytic activity among various catalysts. Catalyst reduction at 250℃ exhibited a relatively good activity. The activity decreased with an increase in the NaBH₄ concentration. Conversely, the activity increased and then decreased with an increase in the NaOH concentration. Additionally, the activity increased with an increase in the reaction temperature. The value of apparent activation energy was 40.81 kJ/mol, which was lower than the other Co-based catalysts. Thus, Co/Al₂O₃ nanopowder catalyst can be widely used for NaBH₄ hydrolysis owing to its superior catalytic activity.

An analysis of the use of temperature profiles in the determination of the kinetic parameters of combustion synthesis of Ti5Si3 were investigated. From profile analysis, an apparent activation energy of 12KJ/mol was calculated. The Maximum heating rate achieved during 10wt% Ti5Si3 reaction by the product dilution method was approximately $1.5\times$104 K/s. Coupling this value with the measured wave velocity of 7.02 cm/s yields a maximum thermal gradient of 2.14$\times$103 K/cm. The value of tr (=t*) was calculated to be 1.2$\times$10-1 s and the value of td (=tx) was calculated to be 32.89 s. Using the definition of t* and the measured wave velocity, the effective thermal diffusivity, $\alpha$, was calculated to be 0.59$\times$10 $\textrm{cm}^2$/s. From these analysis, the power function, G, was also calculated.

Esterification reaction between succinic acid[SA] and 1,4-butanediol [BD] was kinetically investigated in the presence of organometallic catalysts (ESCAT-100Ag18, MBTO) at $150{\sim}180^{\circ}C$. The reaction followed from the measurement of the quantity of water which was distilled from the reaction vessel. The esterification reaction was carried out under the first order kinetics with respect to the concentration of reactants and catalyst, respectively. The overall reaction order was 2nd. From the examination of relationship between apparent reaction rate constants and reciprocal absolute temperature, the activation energy has been calculated as 146.70 kJ/mol(ESCAT-100Ag18) and 87.57 kJ/mol(MBTO), respectively.

Polyacrylonitrile(PAN)-based carbon fiber tows were heat-treated by the internal resistance heating method under the certain load. To consider the strain behavior of the fiber tows during heat-treatments, 1200~$2200^{\circ}C$, strain changes of those were measured. It was observed that the larger longitudinal strain was induced under the larger stretching stress. The changes in the strain are different from the temperature regions below and above $1700^{\circ}C$. Obtained apparent activation energies under the stretching stresses of 70 and 322 MPa from time-strain curves were 67.46 and 52.27kJ$mol^{-1}$, respectively. Therefore, it was known that the larger stretching stresses effectively reduce the apparent activation energy of the fiber structure development of the fiber tows.
