It is well known that drag reduction in single phase liquid flow is affected by polymer material, molecular weight, polymer concentration, pipe diameter, and flow velocity. Drag reduction in two phase flow can be applied to the transport of crude oil, phase change system such as chemical reactor, pool and boiling flow, and to present cavitation which occurs in pump impellers. But the research of drag reduction in two phase flow is not sufficient. The purpose of the present work is to evaluate the drag reduction by measuring pressure drop, void fraction whether polymer is added in the horizontal two phase system or not. Experiment has been conducted in a test section with 24 m of the inner diameter and 1,500 mm of the length. The used polymer materials are two kinds of polyacrylamide[PAAM] and co-polymer[A611P]. The polymer concentration was varied with 50, 100 and 200 ppm under the same experimental conditions. Experimental results were shown that the drag is higher reduced by co-polymer rather than polyanylamide.

As pipelines are often used to transport gas, oil, water and oil products, there are more than one pipeline installed in the offshore field. The size and space of pipelines are various depending on the design specifications. The pipelines are to be designed and installed to secure the stability to external loads during the installation and operation period. The flow patterns are very complex around the pipelines being dependent on incoming flow velocity, pipelines size and space. To investigate the flow patterns, number of experiment are conducted with visualization equipment in a circulating water channel. The flow motion and trajectory were recorded from the laser reflected particles by camera. From the experiment the flow patterns around spaced pipelines were obtained. Also pressure gradient was measured by mano-meter to estimate the hydrodynamic forces on the behind pipeline. The results show that the various sizes and spaces can be affected in the estimation of external load. The complex flow patterns and pressure gradients can be effectively used in the understanding of flow motion and pressure gradient.

Subsea pipelines are designed to transport mixtures of oil, gas, and their associated impurities from a wellhead that can be in excess of approximately $100^{\circ}C$, while the external temperature may be approximately $5^{\circ}C$. Heat can be lost from a subsea pipeline containing a high-temperature fluid to the surrounding environment. It is important that the pipeline be designed to ensure that the heat loss is small enough to maintain sufficient flow from the unwanted deposition of hydrate and wax, which occurs at a critical temperature of about $40^{\circ}C$. Therefore, it is essential to estimate the heat loss of a subsea pipeline in various circumstances. In previous studies, overall heat transfer coefficient(OHTC) formulas were considered only for a single soil type. Thus, it is difficult to characterize the OHTC of the actual seabed with multiple soil layers. In this paper, an OHTC formula that considers multi-layered soils is proposed for more precise OHTC estimation.

Characteristics of kerosine spray combustion were investigated at various swirl condition. PDPA(Phase Doppler Particle Analysis) was used to measure the droplet sizes and velocities. R-type(Platinum vs. Platinum-13%rhodium) thermocouple was used to measure the temperature of combustion flow field inside model combustor. A visualization of spray and flame was performed with still camera. As swirl number increases due to increase of swirl vane angle, the spray and the flame were developed to radial direction rapidly. When swirl number is small, the configuration of flame is cone type, but swirl number is large, the configuration of flame is cylindrical type due to enhanced mixing by the transport of swirl momentum.

Gallium oxyhydroxide (GaOOH) powders were heat-treated in a flowing ammonia gas to form GaN, and the reaction kinetics of the oxide to nitride was quantitatively determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. GaOOH turned into intermediate mixed phases of $\alpha-\;and\;\beta-Ga_2O_3$, and then single phase of GaN. The reaction time for full conversion $(t_c)$ decreased as the temperature increased. There were two-types of rapid reaction processes with the reaction temperature in the initial stage of nitridation at below $t_c$, and a relatively slow processes followed over $t_c$ does not depends on temperatures. The nitridation process was found to be limited by the rate of an interfacial reaction with the reaction order n value of 1 at $800^{\circ}C$ and by the diffusion-limited reaction with the n of 2 at above $1000^{\circ}C$, respectively, at below $t_c$. The activation energy for the reaction was calculated to be 1.84 eV in the temperature of below $830^{\circ}C$, and decreased to 0.38 eV above $830^{\circ}C$. From the comparative analysis of data, it strongly suggest the rate-controlling step changed from chemical reaction to mass transport above $830^{\circ}C$.

In order to examine the feasibility of Carbon Capture & Sequestration, a major technological strategy for the national goal of greenhouse gas reduction, this paper studies the various methods and corresponding costs for the transportation of $CO_2$ captured at the domestic thermal power plants, as well as performing comparative analysis with overseas CCS demonstration projects. It is predicted that the investment cost would be about 98 million USD when the using land-based pipelines to transport captured $CO_2$ from the thermal power plant located in the south coast. And using marine-based offshore pipelines, it will cost about twice the amount. When the captured $CO_2$ is transported from the power plant in the west coast instead, the cost is expected to increase substantially due to the transportation distance to the storage site being more than double to that of the south coast power plant case.

This paper demonstrates the numerical simulation of three dimensional flow pattern for vehicular exhaust dispersion in the street canyons. The wind flow around buildings in urban is computed by the SIMPLEST method. The convection-diffusion equation was used to compute the $NO_X$ concentration level near buildings. Details are given of important boundary conditions and turbulence quantities variations. The simple turbulence model was used for unisotropic viscous effect. A control-volume based finite-difference method with the upwind scheme is employed for discretization equation. The simple turbulence model applied in this study has been verified through comparison between predicted and measured data near buildings. By the predictive results, the updraft induced by the presence of high-rise buildings is important in the transport of street level pollutant out from the street canyons. Our suggestion for reducing ground level pollution is to have high-rise buildings constructed or to reduce the channelling effect of street canyons.

Immobilized sensor spots were applied for online measurement of dissolved $O_2$, in test tubes. Oxygen transport was quantified at varied shaking frequency and filling volumes. The k$_{L}$ a increased with increasing shaking frequency and decreasing filling volume. In non-baffled tubes the maximum $k_{L}a$ value was $70h^{-1}$, equivalent to a maximum $O_2$ transfer capacity of 15mMh^{-1}$. Monitoring of the hydrodynamic profile revealed that the liquid bulk rotated inside the tube with an inclined liquid surface, whereby the angle between the surface and tube wall increased with increasing shaking frequency. The $k_{L}a$ clearly correlated to the surface area. Placement of four baffles into the tubes improved the oxygen transfer up to 3-fold. The highest increase in $k_{L}a$ was observed at high filling volume and high shaking frequency. The maximum $k_{L}a$ in baffled tubes was $100 h^{-1}$.

This paper describes the information for quantitative simulation of weakly ionized plasma. We must grasp the meaning of the plasma state condition to utilize engineering application and to understand materials of plasma state. Using quantitative simulations of weakly ionized plasma, we can analyze gas characteristic. In this paper, the electron transport characteristic in $CH_4$ has been analysed over the E/N range 0.1~300[Td], at the 300[$_{\circ}\;K$] by the two term approximation Boltzmann equation method and Monte Carlo Simulation. Boltzmann equation method has also been used to predict swarm parameter using the same cross sections as input. The behavior of electron has been calculated to give swarm parameter for the electron energy distribution function has been analysed in $CH_4$ at E/N=10, 100 for a case of the equilibrium region in the mean energy. A set of electron collision cross section has been assembled and used in Monte Carlo simulation to predict values of swarm parameters. The result of Boltzmann equation and Monte Carlo Simulation has been compared with experimental data by Ohmori, Lucas and Carter. The swarm parameter from the swarm study are expected to sever as a critical test of current theories of low energy scattering by atoms and molecules.

Ground-based measurements were conducted from August 25 to September 8 of 2011 for understanding characteristics of carbonaceous aerosols measured at Gosan. Chemical components and their sources were discussed by analysis of organic compounds with identification of primary and secondary products in particulate matter. Thus, organic carbon (OC) and elemental carbon (EC) based on the carbonaceous thermal distribution (CTD), which provides detailed carbon signature characteristics relative to analytical temperature, was used to improve the carbon fractionation of the analytical method. In addition, organic compounds by gas chromatography technique with the backward trajectories were discussed for characteristics of carbonaceous aerosols. Different air-masses were classified related to the OC thermal signatures and the organic molecular markers such as aromatic acids and PAHs. We concluded that the aging process was influenced by the long-range transport from East Sea area.
