In the absorption process of water vapor in a liquid film, the composition of the gas phase, in which a non-absorbable gas is combined with the absorbate influences the transport characteristics remarkably. In the present study, the absorption processes of water vapor into aqueous solution of lithium bromide in the presence of non-absorbable gases were investigated analytically. The continuity, momentum, energy and diffusion equations for the solution film and gas phase were formulated in integral forms and solved numerically. It was found that the mass transfer resistance in gas phase increased with the concentration of non-absorbable gas. However the primary resistance to mass transfer was in the liquid phase. As the concentration of non-absorbable gas in the absorbate increased, the liquid-vapor interfacial temperature and concentration of absorbate in solution decreased, which resulted in the reduction of absorption rate. The reduction of mass transfer rate was found to be significant for the addition of a small amount of non-absorbable gas to the pure vapor, especially at the outlet of an absorber where non-absorbable gases accumulated. At higher non-absorbable gas concentration, the decrease of absorption flux was almost linear to the volumetric concentration of non-absorbable gas.

The use of gas absorption refrigeration machine has considerably increased because of the shortage of the electric power in the summer and the regulation of freon refrigerant. Gas absorption refrigeration machine consists of a condenser, a heat exchanger. supplying pipes, a radiator etc, This system is likely to be corroded by acid. dissolved oxygen and gases, Cavitation erosion-corrosion by flow velocity of cooling water may happen in absorption refrigeration machine. In these cases. erosion and corrosion occur simultaneously. Then, it makes a serious damage with synergy effect. Therefore, this paper was studied on the cavitation damage of cupronickel(70/30) tube for gas absorption refrigeration machine, In the $30^{\circ}C$ tap water, linear polarization test and anodic polarization test were carried out for copper(C1220T-OL) and cupronickel(70/30) tube. Also, cavitation erosion-corrosion behavior of cupronickel (70/30) tube was considered, The main results are as following: (1) In the linear test, the corrosion current density of cupronickel(70/30) is higher than that of copper. (2) The erosion-corrosion rate of cupronickel(70/30) displayed later tendency than that of copper by vibratory cavitation in cooling water. (3) In cooling water, the progress mechanism of erosion-corrosion rate of copper and cupronickel(70/30) follows a pattern of incubation, acceleration, attenuation and a steady state period.

Mass transfer coefficients were measured for water vapor absorption into a LiBr-Water solution of 60wt% flowing down an absorber of vertical tube type. The absorber is copper tube of 25mm inner diameter and 1000mm length. The film Reynolds number were varied in the range of 35~130. The solution is fed from the top of the pipe, and the conditions of solution are supercooled liquid and superheated liquid. As results, the flowrates of LiBr solution which takes peak value of average absorption mass flux exist. Mass transfer coefficients decrease with increasing the flowrate of LiBr solution, and the decrease rate in the case of supercooled liquid is large as compared with that in the case of superheated liquid. But the absorption rate of supercooled liquid is decidedly superior to that of superheated liquid.

This paper examined the MHD and thermal behavior of unsteady mixed convection flow of a rotating fluid in a porous parallel plate channel in the presence of Hall current and heat source. The exact solutions of the concentration, energy and momentum equations are obtained. The influence of each governing parameter on non dimensional velocity, temperature, concentration, skin friction coefficient, rate of heat transfer and rate of mass transfer at the porous parallel plate channel surfaces is discussed. During the course of numerical computation, it is observed that as Hall current parameter and Soret number at the porous channel surfaces increases, the primary and secondary velocity profiles are increases while the primary and secondary skin friction coefficients are increases at the cold wall and decreases at the heated wall. In particular, it is noticed that a reverse trend in case of heat source parameter.

This study search for absorbing sound and exhaust-gas which aims to manufacture continuous void by using clay and foam, the surface of materials is covered with $TiO_{2}$ powder as heat treatment. According to the results of the experiment, the increase of thickness of manufactured sound absorbing materials caused the increase of absorption rate in the range of low and middle sound and thus it can be an important factor of improving absorption rate. Sound absorbing materials could satisfy 70% of the average of sound absorption ratio in 7cm thickness. Also, the manufactured sound absorbing materials is covered with $TiO_{2}$ showed an excellency in the clarification of exhaust-gas under ultraviolet rays treatment when 70% of removal rate and about 10% of generation rate of $NO_{2}$ is settled by the flow of 2 $\ell$/min NO gas. Especially, manufactured sound absorbing materials could improve compressive strength of continuos porous concrete. in the case of 7% bubble addition, when the substitution rate of coagulator was 30% and 20%, compressive strength was 45kgf/$cm^{2}$ and 65kgf/$cm^{2}$ respectively. As the substitution rate of coagulator reducing, compressive strength increased after preforming burnt clay.

The heat and mass transfer characteristics of the unsteady hydromagnetic natural convection flow with Hall current and Soret effect of an incompressible, viscous, electrically conducting, heat absorbing and optically thin radiating fluid flow past a suddenly started vertical infinite plate through fluid saturated porous medium in a rotating environment are taken into account in this paper. Derivations of exact analytical solutions are aimed under different physical properties. The velocity, concentration and temperature profiles, Sherwood number and Nusselt number are easily examined and discussed via the closed forms obtained. Soret effect and permeability parameter tends to accelerate primary and secondary fluid velocities whereas hall current, radiation and heat absorption have reverse effect on it. Radiation and heat absorption have tendency to enhance rate of heat transfer at the plate. The results obtained here may be further used to verify the validity of obtained numerical solutions for more complicated transient free convection fluid flow problems.

In this study, heat and mass transfer characteristics of five components solution (LiBr＋Lil＋LiNO$_3$＋LiCl＋$H_2O$) which could be substituted for commonly used LiBr solution are tested using a helical absorber. The arrangement of helical-typed heat exchangers allows to make the system more compact as compared to conventional one. The effects of experimental parameters, such as the solution flow rate, cooling water, solution temperature, solution concentration and surfactant have been investigated in view of the heat and mass transfer. The results of the experiment of heat and mass transfer performance show that five components solution should have 2％ higher concentration fur equal absorption capacity of LiBr solution. But considering that five components solution have higher solubility than LiBr solution about 4％ high concentration, five components solution could be applied to a small sized water cooled or air cooled absorption chiller/heater. The increase of heat and mass transfer coefficient by surfactant addition is about 25∼30％ and 23∼40％ respectively.

The present study numerically investigated the effect of the geometry of the flattened tube on the thermal performance of a high temperature generator (HTG) of a double effect LiBr-water absorption system. The heat transfer tubes of the HTG were arranged behind a metal fiber burner. The heat transfer of the tubes of HTG were consisted with a set of circular and flattened tubes in series. FLUENT, as a commercial code, was applied for estimating the thermal performance of the HTG. Key parameters were the tube arrangement in the HTG. Temperature and velocity profiles in the HTG were calculated to estimate the thermal performance of the HTG. The heat transfer rate of a HTG tube was increased, and the gas temperature around the flattened tube was decreased as the pitch ratio was increased. The heat transfer rate for the circular tube bundle with the pitch ratio of 2.48 were larger by 10% respectively than that of 2.10 and the heat transfer rate for the flattened tube bundle with the pitch ratio of 1.88 were larger by 36% respectively than that of 1.63.

In this study, the gas permeability, sound absorption coefficient, and sound transmission loss of the Paulownia tomentosa wood were estimated using capillary flow porometry, transfer function method, and transfer matrix method, respectively. The longitudinal specific permeability constant of the Paulownia tomentosa wood with a thickness of 20 mm was 0.254 for the control sample and 0.279, 0.314, and 0.452 after being subjected to heat treatments at $100^{\circ}C$, $160^{\circ}C$, and $200^{\circ}C$, respectively. The gas permeability was observed to be slightly increased by the heat treatment. The mean sound absorption coefficients of 20-mm thick Paulownia tomentosa log cross-section for the control sample and after being subjected to heat treatments at $100^{\circ}C$, $160^{\circ}C$, and $200^{\circ}C$ were 0.101, 0.109, 0.096 and 0.106, respectively. Further, the noise reduction coefficients of 20-mm thick Paulownia tomentosa log cross-section of the control sample and after being subjected to heat treatment at temperatures of $100^{\circ}C$, $160^{\circ}C$, and $200^{\circ}C$ were 0.060, 0.067, 0.062 and 0.071, respectively. The mean of sound transmission loss of the 20-mm thick Paulownia tomentosa log cross-section was approximately 36.93 dB. Furthermore, the gas permeability and sound absorption coefficient of the heat-treated Paulownia tomentosa discs slightly increased depending on the heat treatment temperature; however, the rate of increase was insignificant.

This study was conducted to determine and compare the effects of yeast yeast culture (YC) and vitamin E (VE) supplementation on endotoxin absorption and antioxidant status in lactating dairy goats suffering from heat stress (HS). Three first lactation Saanen dairy goats (body weight $30{\pm}1.5kg$) were surgically fitted with indwelling catheters in the portal vein, mesenteric vein and carotid artery, and were randomly assigned to a $3{\times}3$ Latin square design. Dietary treatments were the basal diet, and the basal diet supplemented with either 100 IU VE or 30 g YC. Goats were kept in temperature and humidity-controlled room at $35^{\circ}C$ from 8:00 to 20:00 and at $24^{\circ}C$ from 20:00 till the next morning at 8:00. The relative humidity was kept at 55%. HS increased dairy goats' rectum temperature and respiration frequency (p<0.01). HS reduced plasma flux rate of milk goats (p<0.01), but the plasma flux rate increased when the animal was under the conditions of the thermo-neutral period (p<0.01). The VE supplementation lowered dairy goats' rectum temperature during thermo-neutral period (p<0.01). Meanwhile, no significant differences were observed between the control and YC treatment in rectum temperature and respiration frequency (p>0.05). Dietary supplementation of VE and YC reduced heat stressed dairy goats' endotoxin concentration of the carotid artery and portal vein (p<0.01). However, the endotoxin concentration of the YC treatment was higher than that of the VE treatment (p<0.01). Both VE and YC supplementation decreased heat stressed dairy goats' absorption of endotoxin in portal vein (p<0.01). The endotoxin absorption of YC treatment was higher than the VE treatment (p<0.01). The addition of VE and YC decreased dairy goats' superoxide dismutase (SOD) concentration during HS and the whole experiment period (p<0.01). The addition of VE lowered SOD concentration during thermo-neutral period (p<0.01). Likewise, the addition of VE and YC lowered dairy goats' malonaldehyde (MDA) concentration during HS and the whole experimental period, and the MDA concentration in the VE treatment was lower than the YC treatment (p<0.05). The addition of VE decreased MDA concentration during thermo-neutral period. On the contrast, the addition of VE increased dairy goats total antioxidant potential (TAP) concentration during HS, thermo-neutral and the whole experimental period (p<0.01). The addition of YC increased TAP concentration only during HS period (p<0.01). It is concluded that both VE and YC are useful in alleviating HS of dairy goats by weakening endotoxin absorption and promoting antioxidant capacity. Compared with YC, VE is much more powerful in easing dairy goats HS.
