The study was carried out to evaluate the characteristics of biodegradation by Pseudomonas putida G7 in soil column. The reactor system was used to investigate mass transfer of VOCs as Toluene in a column of unsaturated soil. Determination of the fate of VOCs in unsaturated soil is necessary to evaluate the feasibility of natural attenuation as a VOCs remediation strategy. The objective of this study was to develop a mechanistically based mathematical model that would consider the interdependence of VOC transport, microbial activity, and sorptive interactions in a moist, unsaturated soil. Because the focus of the model was on description of natural attenuation, the advective VOCs transport that is induced in engineered remediation processes such as vapor extraction was not considered. It can be concluded that the coefficient for gas liquid mass-transfer was found to be a key parameter controlling the ability of bacteria to VOCs. Finally, it appeared that bioremediation technology of VOCs which are difficult to be decomposed by chemical methods.

Vibratory conveyors are widely used in industry to transport granular materials and products. A theoretical point mass model for vibratory conveying was studied. The results agreed well with experimental observations. The model theory included the resting, sliding and flight states of the material. Each state was considered separately when determining the equations of motion. For the coefficients of restitution, values of zero for the normal component and 0.8 for the tangential component were found to be appropriate for modeling the collisions of the granular particles with the conveying surface. The vibration angle had a large influence on the mode and rate of transport. There was an optimum vibration angle for a given set of conditions. The optimum vibration angle decreased and was better defined as the coefficient of friction increased. The results suggest the existence of an optimum dimensionless track acceleration (throw number), which does not support general industrial practice in which the track acceleration is limited when the feed cycle becomes erratic and unstable.

I describe a series of processes, including hierarchical fragmentation, gravitational scattering, Kozai cycles within triple systems, tidal friction and magnetic braking, that I believe are responsible for producing the modest but significant fraction of stars that are observed as contact binaries. I also discuss further processes, namely heat transport, mass transport, nuclear evolution, thermal relaxation oscillations, and further magnetic braking with tidal friction, that influence the evolution during contact. The endpoint, for contact, is that the two components merge into a single star, as recently was observed in the remarkable system V1309 Sco. The single star probably throws off some mass and rotates rapidly at first, and then slows by magnetic braking to become a rather inconspicuous but normal dwarf or subgiant. If however the contact binary was part of a triple system originally-as I suggested above was rather likely-then the result could be a $widish$ binary with apparently non-coeval components. There are several such known.

Gas diffusion layer (GDL) of PEMFCs plays a role that it diffuses the reactant gases to the catalyst layer on the membrane and discharge water from the catalyst layer to the channel. Physical parameters related to the mass transport of GDL are mostly from the uncompressed GDLs while actual GDLs in the assembled stacks are compressed. In this study, the relation of compression and strain of GDLs with various Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) loading is measured experimentally and In-plane gas permeability is measured at the condition that the GDLs are in compressive strain. The gas permeability decreased with the loading of PTFE and the presentation of gas permeability under compressive stain is expected to improve the accuracy of modeling work of mass transport in the GDL.

We synthesized polypyrrole (PPy) by electrolysis of the pyrrole monomer solution containing support electrolyte KCl and/or p-toluene sulfonic acid sodium salt (p-TS). The electrochemical behavior was investigated using cyclic voltammetry and AC impedance. In the case of using electrolyte p-75, the redox potential was about -0.3 V vs. Ag/AgCl reference electrode, while the potential was about 0 V for using electrolyte KCl. It is considered as the backbone forms a queue effectively by doping p-TS Therefore, it is possible to be arranged regularly. That leads to improvement in the electron hopping. The AC impedance plot gave a tent of betterment of mass transport. PPy doped with p-TS has improved in mass transport, or diffusion. That is because the PPy doped with p-TS has a good orientation, and is more porous than PPy with KCl.

The interface between two different polymers is characterized theoretically by using a model. This model is based on the assumption that the monomeric friction coefficients of the two polymers are identical but a strong function of the matrix composition. This model predicts that the concentration profiles are highly asymmetric with substantial swelling of the slower-diffusing component by the faster component. To predict the behavior of interdiffusion, three quantities are used: distance of interface Z*(t) due to the swelling, interfacial width W(t) which is most sensitive to the detailed composition profiling, and mass transport M(t) due to interdiffusion. It is found that the more dissimilar polymer pairs, the faster the movement of the interface, the quicker its interfacial width saturates to a limiting value and the slower its mass transport. These results are in qualitative agreement with some experiments.

A computational analysis has been carried out to get a thorough and full understanding on the effects of convective process parameters on double-diffusive convection during the growth of mercurous bromide ($Hg_2Br_2$) crystals on earth and under ${\mu}g$ conditions. The dimensional maximum magnitude of velocity vector, ${\mid}U{\mid}_{max}$ decreases much drasticlly near Ar = 1, and, then since Ar = 2, decreases. The ${\mu}g$ conditions less than $10^{-2}g$ make the effect of double-diffusion convection much reduced so that adequate advective-diffusion mass transfer could be obtained.

In this paper we examine the mass transport within the boundary layer near the sea bottom. The fluid domain is seperated into inner and outer region of boundary layers. In outer region, the wave field is assumed to be inviscid and irrotational. When the incident waves enter the arrays of circular cylinders, the scattering of water waves by an array of N bottom mounted vertical circular cylinders is solved using the method proposed by Linton & Evans under the potential theory. In inner region, the Navier-Stokes equation must be satisfied with boundary conditions at the boundary later and bottom is to be represented by the sum of the Eulerian mean drift and the Stokes' drift.

This paper has dealt with the characteristics of mass and heat transfer of vertical flat plate with free convection. The theory of similarity transformations applied to the momentum and energy equations for free convection. To derive the similarity equation of mass transfer. the equation for conservation of species was added to the continuity. momentum and energy equations. The momentum, energy and species equations set numerically to obtain the velocity, temperature and mass fraction of species as dimensionless. For cases where momentum transport dominates, the thermal boundary layers are shorter than the momentum boundary layer. The relationships between momentum, energy and species were clarified from this study.

The railroad freight transport has great merits that can transport mass and specific items(dangerous goods), but it takes a long time because of low accessibility to the logistics facility and the complex process of loading freight in middle station. This paper analyzed volumes and characters of each railroad freight item, and was carried out the effect of applying E&S system to Gyeongbu line containers to find the method of reducing transport time and effective container transportation. As a result of Cost-Effectiveness analysis, the block train(B/T) is reducing transport time more about 1~2 hours. The road congestion cost is saving about 2.2 billion won. And due to skipping work of organizing train, personnel and equipment expenses savings expected about 9 billion won. It is expected that the E&S system enhances the container transport service and has an effect positive influence on making a efficient method of transport. But It is necessary to estimate pre-feasibility of applying E&S system that the standard of estimating cost and benefit is required further examination.
