The hydrogen diffusion and trapping model with a numerical finite difference method (FDM) was modified and extended to accommodate $H_2S$ corrosion and scale forming processes of high-strength steel under tensile stress condition. The newly proposed diffusion model makes it possible to clearly understand combined effect of tensile stress and $H_2S$ corrosion process on hydrogen diffusion behaviors. The core concept of this theoretical approach is that overall diffusion behavior is separated into diffusion process through two respective layers: an outer sulfide scale and an inner steel matrix. Diffusion coefficient values determined by curve-fitting permeation data reported previously with the newly proposed diffusion model indicate that the application of tensile stress can contribute to continual increase in the diffusivity in the sulfide scale with a high density of defect. This suggests that the scale with a lower stability under the stress condition can be a key parameter to enhance hydrogen influx in the steel matrix. Consequently, resistance to hydrogen assisted cracking of the steel under tensile stress can be decreased significantly.

In this study, the diffusion of chloride ions in cement concrete made with and without the limestone powder was investigated. In order to study the effect of the limestone powder, all mixtures were prepared at a fixed water-cementitious ratio (0.45). From the experimental results, the setting time of limestone powder concrete is faster than that of control concrete, and compressive strength of all specimens decreased with increasing replacement ratio of limestone powders. The diffusion properties of limestone powder concretes indicated a trend increasing with curing period. LSA10 and LSA20 concretes, the diffusion coefficient was smaller than that of control concrete. The addition of $10-20\%$ limestone powder reduces the diffusion coefficient of chloride ions, irrespective of fineness levels of limestone powder.

An experimental study on a double-concentric diffusion flame(DDF) has been carried on in order to Investigate the characteristics of soot formation compared to a normal coflow diffusion flame(NDF). Laser extinction technique has been used for an ethylene($C_2H_4$) and air flame with various flow rates. Soot formation In the double-concentric diffusion flame was enhanced by the inner inverse diffusion flame due to the increase in flame temperature and also suppressed due to the nitrogen-dilution from the inner air. Soot concentration at the flame axis of DDF was higher than that of the NDF, mainly because of the increase of temperature by inner flame. However, the maximum soot volume fraction of DDF was lower than NDF at the outer side of the flame, mainly due to the effect of nitrogen-dilution from the inner air.

The role of the electron diffusion on the stability of a Townsend discharge was investigated with the linear stability theory for the one-dimensional fluid equation with drift-diffusion approximation. It was proved that the discovered instability occurs as a result of the coupled action of electron diffusion and the perturbed electric field by space charge. The larger electron diffusion results in the faster growth rate at the regime of small perturbation of the electric field by space charges.

Motion picture industry is one of the most representative fields in the cultural industry and has experienced constant growth both worldwide and within domestic markets. However, little research has been undertaken for diffusion patterns of motion pictures, whereas various issues such as demand forecasting and success factor analysis have been widely explored. To analyze diffusion patterns, we adopted extended Bass model to reflect the potential demand of movies. Four clusters of selected movies were derived by k-means clustering method with criteria of opening strength and profitability and then compared by their diffusion patterns. Results indicated that movies with high profitability and medium opening strength are most significantly influenced by word of mouth effect, while low profitability movies display nearly monotonic decreasing diffusion patterns with noticeable initial adoption rates and relatively early peak points in their runs.

This paper presents the method of parameter estimation of diffusion model for monitoring Demand-Side Management program. Bass diffusion model was applied in this paper, which has different values according to the following parameters; coefficients of innovation, imitation and potential adopters. Though it is very important to estimate three parameters precisely, there has been no empirical way in practice. Thus, this paper presents the method of parameter estimation in case of few data with constraints to reduce the possibility of bad estimation. The constraints can be empirical results or expert's decision. Case studies show the diffusion curves and forecasted values of the peak for the high-efficient lighting. The feedback and nonlinear least-square parameter estimation methods used in this paper enable us to evaluate the status and to predict the effect of DSM program.

A brief overview is given of the corrosion and hydrogen diffusion behaviors of high strength pipe steel in sour environment. Firstly, hydrogen adsorption and diffusion mechanism of the pipe steel is introduced. Secondly, the effect of iron sulfide film precipitated as a result of the corrosion reaction on the steel surface on hydrogen reduction reaction and subsequent hydrogen permeation through the steel is discussed. Moreover, the hydrogen diffusion behavior of the pipe steel under tensile stress in both elastic and plastic ranges is reviewed based on a number of experimental permeation data and theoretical models describing the hydrogen diffusion and trapping phenomena in the steel. It is hoped that this paper will result in significant academic contributions in the field of corrosion and hydrogen related problems of the pipe steel used in sour environment.

The nonlinear humidity distribution occurs due to the moisture diffusion when a concrete is exposed to an ambient air. These nonlinear humidity distribution induces shrinkage cracks on surfaces of the concrete. Because shrinkage cracks largely affect the durability and serviceability of concrete structures, the moisture diffusion in concrete must be investigated. The purpose of this paper is to propose a model of the moisture diffusion coefficient that governs moisture diffusion within concrete structures. To propose the model, numerical analysis were performed based on several experiments. Because the moisture diffusion coefficient is changed with aging, especially at early ages, the proposed model includes aging effect by terms of the porosity as well as the humidity of concrete.

A general electric acceleration testing method for estimation of chloride diffusion coefficient is RCPT and CTH. Also, this testing methods have merit that reduce the testing time. In this paper, an experimental study is executed to investigate the effect of testing method on coefficient of chloride diffusion and it is compared with RCPT and CTH. According to this experiment results, W/C ratio and testing method influence chloride diffusion coefficient of concrete. As W/C ratio is increased, diffusion coefficient in concrete is also increased. Diffusion coefficient obtained by each testing method show the different values. However, there is no remarkable difference between the two testing method.

Soot particle temperatures in co-flow diffusion flames have been measured using a two-color pyrometry at the pressure of 0.2 MPa(2 atm). The measured soot particle temperatures along with the integrated soot volume fractions are analyzed to understand soot formation characteristics. At 0.2 MPa, the addition of small amount of air into ethylene do not change the soot particle temperature in soot formation regions. This result showed that the increase of soot formation with addition of air is mostly due to the chemical effect of the added air, such as the increased role of C3 chemistry during the early stage of soot inception process. The addition of sufficient air into ethylene, however, changes soot particle temperatures and the understanding of soot formation characteristics becomes complicated. Measured soot particle temperatures also showed that there is no significant temperature effect for the synergistic effect of ethylene/propane mixture on soot formation.
