The improved high-performance Fe-based perovskite-type oxides ($La_{0.7}Sr_{0.3}M_xFe_{1-x}O_3$, M = Cu, Cr, Ni) were synthesized by a citrate method and characterized by SEM, EDS, XRD and NMR spectroscopy analyses. The characterization analyses revealed that the stoichiometric amounts of lattice oxygen were existed in all of perovskite samples except for a nickel-doped perovskite. Fe-based perovskites exhibited a surprising result for ortho-para $H_2$ spin conversion reaction, indicating two orders of magnitude higher conversions and conversion rates than commercial $Fe_2O_3$. It was considered that this conversion difference might be attributed to the presence of oxygen vacancies in Fe-based perovskites prepared in this study.

In this report, stress corrosion cracking generation due to pipe material degradation in the primary stage of the nuclear power plant was investigated. Firstly, after artificially degrading the CF8A steel during 2, 4, and 6 months in actual temperature, $400^{\circ}C,$ assessed corrosion susceptibility of the degraded material following ASTM G5 standard. And next, the S.C.C. tests for the degraded material were conducted under the condition of $60^{\circ}C,$ 2wt.% H2BO3+Li70H solution, 0.8 oy. From the results, Corrosion rates linearly increased with degradation period and solution temperature increase. And both the raw material and the degraded materials were not failed in the S.C.C. test condition. In spite of long time test (about 3,900 hrs) under S.C.C. condition, surface pits or surface corrosion by the electro chemical reaction were not observed. And also, even though the nondestructive DCPD and ACPD methods were applied to on-line monitor the S.C.C. failure processes it was impossible because the surface pits and cracks were not generated.

The purpose of this study is to gain a better understanding of the effects of fuel stratification on reducing the pressure-rise rate at high load in HCCI combustion. It was found that fuel stratification offers good potential to achieve a staged combustion event and reduced pressure-rise rates. The engine is fueled with Di-Methyl Ether (DME) which has unique 2-stage heat release. Numerical analysis is conducted with single and multi-zones model and detailed chemical reaction scheme is done by chemkin and senkin. Calculation result shows that proper fuel stratification prolongs combustion duration and reduce pressure rise rate. Besides IMEP, combustion efficiency and indicated thermal efficiency keep constant. However, too wide fuel stratification increases pressure rise rate and CO and NOx emissions in exhaust gas.

Biomass gasification provides synthesis gas or syngas that can be used for internal combustion engines as fuel or chemical synthesis as feedstock. Among different types of gasifiers, downdraft gasifier can produce relatively clean syngas with lower tar contents. In this study, a downdraft gasifier was fabricated with 150 mm of hearth diameter to gasify woodchip that is commercially available in this country. After drying woodchip to about 20 %, gasification experiments were conducted measuring temperature, pressure, air and gas flow rates. The volumetric concentrations of CO, $H_2$, $CO_2$, $CH_4$ were 10.7~14.5, 16.5~21.4, 12.5~16.6, and 2.3~2.9, respectively. They were overall within the ranges of the results that the previous studies showed. However, CO concentration was relatively lower and H2 was slightly higher than those from other studies. It seemed that water gas shift reaction was occurred due to the moisture in the fuel woodchip. Additional drying process coupled with syngas cooling would be required to improve the overall efficiency and syngas quality.

The etch characteristics of the $HfAlO_3$ thin films and selectivity of $HfAlO_3$ to $SiO_2$ in $Cl_2/BCl_3$/Ar plasma were investigated in this work. The maximum etch rate was 108.7 nm/min and selectivity of $HfAlO_3$ to $SiO_2$ was 1.11 at $Cl_2$(3sccm)/$BCl_3$(4sccm)/Ar(16sccm), RF power of 500 W, DC-bias voltage of - 100 V, process pressure of 1 Pa and substrate temperature of $40^{\circ}C$. As increasing RF power and DC-bias voltage, etch rates of the $HfAlO_3$ thin films increased. Whereas as decreasing of the process pressure, those of the $HfAlO_3$ thin films were increased. The chemical reaction on the surface of the etched the $HfAlO_3$ thin films was investigated with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).

A numerical investigation of the fuel concentration field in a fluidized bed has been carried out for the scale-up of a fluidized bed combustor (FBC). A two-dimensional transient model is developed using the two-phase fluidization, a simple chemical reaction, and lateral solid mixing theories. The uniformity of fuel concentration distributions is controlled by the location and the number of fuel feeders, fluidizing velocities and the bed-heights. While larger bubbles owing to greater fluidizing velocities enhance the fuel-dispersion in the bed, they have adverse effects on fuel combustion and thus result in the increase of fuel concentration, since a greater bubble means a larger bypass which reduces gas-exchange rates between bubble and emulsion phases. Average or maximum values of the bed fuel concentration are utilized as criteria for the scale-up from a pilot/lab-scale to a commercial-size bed.

To investigate the effect of microstructure on the formation of the desorption peak, the volumetric thermal analysis technique (VTA) was applied to the Mg-13.5 wt% Ni hydride system. The sample made by the HCS (hydriding combustion synthesis) process had two kinds of Mg microstructures. Linear heating was started with various constant heating rates. Only one peak was appeared in the case of the small initial hydrogen wt% (0.83 wt%). Yet, two peaks were appeared with increasing initial hydrogen wt% (1.85 and 3.73 wt%) when only Mg was hydrogenated. The first peak was formed through the evolution of hydrogen from $MgH_2$, made by eutectic Mg. The second peak was formed through the evolution of hydrogen from $MgH_2$, made by primary Mg. Therefore, this result shows that the microstructure also has a considerable effect on forming the desorption peak. We have also derived the hydrogen desorption equations by VTA to get apparent activation energy when the rate-controlling step for the desorption of the hydrided system is the diffusion of hydrogen through the ${\alpha}$ phase and the chemical reaction ${\beta}{\rightarrow}{\alpha}$.

The effect of the di-tertiary butyl peroxide (DTBP) additive on the heat release rate and emissions of a homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engine fueled with high Research Octane Number (RON) fuels were investigated. The experiments were performed using 0%, 1%, 2%, 3%, and 4% (by volume) DTBP-RON90 blends. The RON90 Fuel was obtained by blending 90% iso-octane with 10% n-heptane. The experimental results show that the operation range was remarkably expanded to lower temperature and lower engine load with the DTBP additive in RON90 fuel. The first ignition phase of HCCI combustion was observed at 850 K and ended at 950 K while the hot ignition occurred at 1125 K for all fuels at different engine working conditions. The chemical reaction scale time decreases with the DTBP addition. As a result, the ignition timing advances, the combustion duration shortens, and heat release rates were increased at overall engine loads. Meanwhile, the unburned hydrocarbon (UHC) and CO emissions decrease sharply with the DTBP addition while the NOx emissions maintain at a lower level.

Submicron colloidal silica coated with ceria were prepared by mixing of silica and nano ceria particles and modified by hydrothermal reaction. The polishing efficiency of the ceria coated silica slurry was tested over oxide film on silicon wafer. By changing the polishing pressure in the range of $140{\sim}420g/cm^2$ with the ceria coated silica slurries in $100{\sim}300nm$, rates, WIWNU and friction force were measured. The removal rate was in the order of 200, 100, and 300 nm size silica coated with ceria. It was known that the smaller particle size gives the higher removal rate with higher contact area in Cu slurry. In the case of oxide film, the indentation volume as well as contact area gives effect on the removal rate depending on the size of abrasives. The indentation volume increase with the size of abrasive particles, which results to higher removal rate. The highest removal rate in 200 nm silica core coated with ceria is discussed as proper combination of indentation and contact area effect.

The mechanism for laminar dust flame propagation can only be elucidated from a comprehensive mathematical model which incorporates conduction and radiation, as well as the chemical kinetics of particle devolatilization and gas phase and char reaction. The mathematical model for a flat, laminar, premixed coal-air flame is applied to the atmospheric coal-air mixtures studied by Smoot and co-workers, and comparisons are made with their measurements and predictions. Here the principal parameter for comparison is the laminar burning velocity. The studies of Smoot and co-workers are first reviewed and compared with those predicted by the present model. The effects of inlet temperature and devolatilization rate constants on the burning velocities are studied with the present model, and compared with their measurements and predictions. Their measured burning velocities are approximately predicted with the present model at relatively high coal concentrations, with a somewhat increased inlet temperature. From the comparisons, their model might over-estimate particle temperature and rates of devolatilization. This would enable coal-air mixtures to be burned without any form of preheat and would tend to increase their computed values of burning velocity.
