The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide was used for supplementing the oxygen during batch xanthan fermentations in a bubble column bioreactor in order to escape the oxygen transfer limitation that occurred at the high viscosity of culture broths. The xanthan production, however, was inhibited reversibly by dosing hydrogen peroxide. On the other hand, fluidized particles of glass beads with 8 mm diameter led to high gas-liquid oxygen transfer rates in three-phase fluidized beds, which resulted in higher space-time yields of the xanthan production compared to in the bubble column bioreactors.

The model based on the idea that the p$_y$-orbital of the carbonyl oxygen is responsible to receiving hydrogen was devised for simulation of intramolecular hydrogen transfer. A Monte Carlo method was applied to free rotation of a molecular chain performed by changing the dihedral angles, and a "hit" was defined as the case when the migrating hydrogen comes within the region defined as the p$_y$-orbital and satisfies all the geometrical requirements for abstraction. A set of parameters was employed for defining the region and the requirements; $\tau$ was defined as the angle formed between O...H vector and its projection on the mean plane of the carbonyl group (- 43$\circ$ < $\tau$ < + 43$\circ$), $\Delta$ as the C=O...H angle (90 -15$\circ$ < $\Delta$ < 90 + 15$\circ$), $\theta$ as the O...H - C angle ( 180 - 80$\circ$< 0 < 180 + 80$\circ$), d as the distance from the center of the lobe of the p$_y$-orbital to hydrogen (0 < d < 1.04 ${\AA}$). The minimum value for the distance between carbonyl oxygen (O$_1$) and the migrating hydrogen (H$_i$) and for that between non-bonded atoms except the pair of O$_1$ and H$_i$ were assumed to be 0.52 ${\AA}$ and 1.54 ${\AA}$, respectively. The apphcation of this model to intramolecular $\beta$-, $\gamma$-, $\delta$-, $\epsilon$-, and $\zeta$-hydrogen abstraction in ketones and $\eta$- and $\theta$- proton transfer in oxoesters gave good results reflecting their photochemical behavior. The model was also used for prediction of photoreactivities of 2-(N,N-dibenzylamino)ethyl 2-, 3- and 4-benzoylbenzoate (1a - c). (1a - c).

An experimental study has been conducted to evaluate the effects of $CO_{2}$ on heat transfer from hydrogen oxygen-enriched flame. Experiments were performed on flames stabilized by a co-flow swirl burner, which mounted on top of the furnace. Five composition conditions of oxidizer were chosen with replacing $N_{2}$ with $CO_{2}$. In a steady state, total and radiative heat flux rates from the flame to the wall of furnace has been measured using heat flux meters. Temperature distribution in furnace also has been checked. Increasing $CO_{2}$ ratio in the oxidizer, the dominant heat transfer mode was changed into convection from radiation. Temperature in the furnace decreased but total heat flux increased.

We have performed quantum mechanical calculations to study the geometries and binding energies of biologically important, cyclic hydrogen-bonded complexes, such as formic acid + $H_2O$, formamidine + $H_2O$, formamide + $H_2O$, formic acid dimer, formamidine dimer, formamide dimer, formic acid + formamide, formic acid + formamidine, formamide + formamidine, and barrier heights for the double proton transfer in these complexes. Various ab initio, density functional theory, multilevel methods have been used. Geometries and energies depend very much on the level of theory. In particular, the transition state symmetry of the proton transfer in formamidine dimer varies greatly depending on the level of theory, so very high level of theory must be used to get any reasonable results.

Hydrogen has long been recognized as a fuel having some unique and highly desirable properties, for application as a fuel in engines. Hydrogen has some remarkably high values of the key properties for transport processes, such as kinematic viscosity, thermal conductivity and diffusion coefficient, in comparison to those of the other fuels. Such differences together with its extremely low density and low luminosity help to give hydrogen its unique diffusive and heat transfer characteristics. The thermodynamic and heat transfer characteristics of hydrogen tend to produce high compression temperatures that contribute to improvements in engine efficiency and lean mixture operation.

Hydrogen assisted cracking (HAC) is one of the most complicated problem in welding. Huge amount of studies have been done for decades. Based on them, various standards have been established to avoid HAC. But it is still a chronic problem in industrial field. It is well known that the main causes of the hydrogen crack are residual stress, crack susceptible micro structures and a certain critical level of hydrogen concentration. Even though the exact generating mechanism is unclear till today, it has been reported that the hydrogen level in the weld metal should be managed less than a certain amount to prevent it. Matsuda studied that the residual hydrogen level in the weld metal can be varied even if the initial hydrogen content is same. It is also insisted in this report that the residual hydrogen concentration is in stronger correlation with hydrogen crack than the initial hydrogen content. But, in practical point of view, the residual hydrogen is still hard to consider because measuring hydrogen level is time and cost consuming process. In this regard, numerical analysis is the only solution for considering the residual hydrogen content. Meanwhile, Takahashi showed the possibility of predicting the residual hydrogen by a rigorous FE analysis. But, few commercial software suitable for solving the weld metal hydrogen has been reported yet. In this study, two dimensional thermal - hydrogen coupled analysis was developed by using the commercial FE software MARC. Since the governing equation of the hydrogen diffusion is similar to the heat transfer, it is shown that the heat transfer FE analysis in association with hydrogen diffusion property can be used for hydrogen diffusion analysis. A series of simulation was performed to verify the accuracy of the model. For BOP (Bead-On-Plate) and the multi-pass butt welding simulations, remaining hydrogen contents in the weld metal is well matched with measurements which are referred from Kim and Masamitsu.

Accurate measurements of the heat transfer coefficients of concentric annular space for the test section is important to measure the tube-side heat transfer coefficients of working fluids. This paper presents the annular side heat transfer coefficients of concentric annuli with variation of tube diameter ratios using Wilson plot method. The test facility has a straight, horizontal test section with an active length of 3.0 m. Inner/outer diameters of test tubes are 7.0/7.5 and 8.0/8.56 mm, respectively. An outer diameter of annulus side is 16.0 mm. The test results show that convective heat transfer coefficients in annuli increase with annular diameter ratio. The correlations for convective heat transfer coefficients in annuli are also developed.

Reduction reactivity and carbon deposition characteristics of mass produced oxygen carrier particle(OCN-650) have been investigated by using hydrogen, methane, syngas, and natural gas as fuels. For all fuels, the maximum conversion and oxygen transfer capacity increased as the temperature increase. The reduction rate and the oxygen transfer rate increased as the temperature increase for methane. However, those values showed maximum at 900$^{\circ}C$ for hydrogen, syngas, and natural gas. To explain consistently the change of maximum conversion, reduction rate, oxygen transfer capacity, oxygen transfer rate and degree of carbon deposition for different fuels, new parameters such as reactive carbon contents and require oxygen per input gas were adopted.

Mesoporous SBA-15 silica-supported TsCHDA and TsDPEN ligands have been prepared by reaction of SBA-15 silica with (1R,2R)-N-(trimethoxysilylpropyl-N-sulfonyl)-1,2-cyclohaxanediamine or (1R,2R)-N-(trimethoxysilylpropyl-N-sulfonyl)-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine, respectively. The Ru complexes exhibited excellent catalytic activity and satisfactory enantioselectivity in the asymmetric hydrogen transfer of ketones under microwave conditions. The heterogeneous Ru catalyst was reusable as well as air-stable to allow easy use. Microwave-assisted efficient procedure has been developed for asymmetric hydrogen transfer.
