Purpose: The practical design for experiments with mixtures of q components is consisted in the four types of design points, vertex, center of edge, axial, and center points in a (q-1)-dimensional simplex space. We propose a sequential method for the successful construction of the design space in Quality by Design (QbD) by allowing the different number of replicates at the four types of design points in the practical design when the quadratic canonical polynomial model is assumed. Methods: To compare the mixture designs efficiency, fraction of design space (FDS) plot is used. We search for the practical mixture designs whose the minimal half-width of the tolerance interval per a standard deviation, which is denoted as d₂, is less than 4.5 at 0.8 fraction of the design space. They are found by adding the different number of replicates at the four types of the design points in the practical design. Results: The practical efficient mixture designs for the number of components between three and five are listed. The sequential method to establish a design space is illustrated with the two examples based on the simulated data. Conclusion: The designs with the center of edge points replications are more efficient than those with the vertex points replication. We propose the sample size of at least 23 for three components, 28 for four components, and 33 for the five components based on the list of efficient mixture designs.

An area corresponding to the spatial resolution of optical remote sensor imagery often includes more than one pure surface material. In such case, a pixel value represents a mixture of spectral reflectance of several materials within it. This study attempts to apply the spectral mixture analysis on forest and to evaluate the information content of endmember fractions resulted from the spectral unmixing. Landsat-7 ETM+ image obtained over the study area in the Kwangneung Experimental Forest was initially geo-referenced and radiometrically corrected to reduce the atmospheric and topographic attenuations. Linear mixture model was applied to separate each pixel by the fraction of six endmember: deciduous, coniferous, soil, built-up, shadow, and rice/grass. The fractional values of six endmember could be used to separate forest cover in more detailed spatial scale. In addition, the soil fraction can be further used to extract the information related to the canopy closure. We also found that the shadow effect is more distinctive at coniferous stands.

This paper proposes a numerical modeling approach to simulate the hybrid combustion phenomena. From the physical understandings of hybrid combustion, the computational domain was separated into three regions: the solid fuel, gas phase reactive flow, and the interface between solid and fluid. Moreover, for the accurate calculation, computational grids for these regions was generated at every time step considering the instantaneous moving interface which are governed by the balance equations using thermal pyrolysis. In the domain of reactive flow, by virtue of diffusion flame structure, turbulent combustion modeling was introduced using either mixture fraction approach or mean reaction rate approach.

The effect of fuel concentration gradient on the propagation characteristics of tribrachial (or triple) flames has been investigated experimentally in both two-dimensional and axisymmetric counterflows. The gradient at the stoichiometric location was controlled by the equivalence ratios at the two nozzles; one of which is maintained rich, while the other lean. Results show that the displacement speed of tribrachial flames in the two-dimensional counterflow decreases with fuel concentration gradient and has much larger speed than the maximum speed predicted previously in two-dimensional mixing layers. From an analogy with premixed flame propagation, this excessively large displacement speed can be attributed to the flame propagation with respect to burnt gas. Corresponding maximum speed in the limit of small mixture fraction gradient was estimated and the curvefit of the experimental data substantiates this limiting speed. As mixture fraction gradient approaches zero, a transition occurs, such that the propagation speed of tribrachial flame approaches stoichiometric laminar burning velocity with respect to burnt gas. Similar results have been obtained for tribrachial flames propagating in axisymmetric counterflow.

The transported probability density function(PDF) model has been applied to simulate the turbulent nonpremixed piloted jet flame. To realistically account for the mixture fraction PDF informations on the turbulent non-premixed jet flame, the present Lagrangian PDF transport approach is based on the joint velocity-composition-turbulence frequency PDF formulation. The fluctuating velocity of stochastic fields is modeled by simplified Langevin model(SLM), turbulence frequency of stochastic fields is modeled by Jayesh-Pope model and effects of molecular diffusion are represented by the interaction by exchange with the mean (IEM) mixing model. To validate the present approach, the numerical results obtained by the joint velocity-composition-turbulence frequency PDF model are compared with experimental data in terms of the unconditional and conditional means of mixture fraction, temperature and species and PDFs.

The firtst-order conditional moment closure (CMC) model is applied to CH4/air swirl diffusion flame in a gas turbine model combustor. The flow and mixing fields are calculated by fast chemistry assumption with SLFM library and a beta function pdf for mixture fraction. RNG k-e model is used to consider the swirl flame in a confined wall. Reacting scalar fields are calculated by elliptic CMC formulation with chemical kinetic mechanism, GRI Mech 3.0. Validation is done against measurement data for mean flow and scalar fields in the model combustor [1]. Results show reasonable agreement with the mean mixture fraction and its variance, while temperature is overpredicted as the level of local extinction increases. The second-order CMC model is needed to consider local extinction with considerable conditional fluctuations near the nozzle.

A two-dimensional fluid simulation code has been developed in order to investigate discharge phenomena and to improve plasma luminous efficiency in a Hg flat fluorescent lamp (FFL) for an LCD backlight unit. In this study, the method of a two-dimensional fluid simulation for FFL is explained and the simulation results of Hg-Ar-Ne mixture gas are presented for the enhancement of the luminance efficiency. The effects of various parameters, such as driving voltage, frequency, and gas mixture ratio, are investigated. The luminance efficiency increased with increasing fraction of mercury but the increasing fraction of argon did not affect the efficiency much.

Investigation of the performance of an autocascade refrigeration system using the refrigerant mixtures of R744 (carbon dioxide) and R134a (1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane) has been carried out by simulation and experiment. Cycle simulation using a constant UA model in heat exchangers has been performed for R744/134a mixtures of the compositions ranging from 10/90 to 30/70 by weight. Variations of mass flow rate of refrigerant, compressor work, refrigeration capacity and COP with respect to mass fraction of R744/134a mixture were presented. Performance test has been executed in the autocascade refrigeration system by varying secondary fluid temperatures at evaporator and condenser inlets. Experimental results match quite well with those obtained from the simulation.

Both wild peony and cultivated peony demonstrated a slight effect and tranquilizer of anti-convulsion on the strychinine and picrotoxine but the wild plant was more effective. The methanol extract of cultivated peony root demonstrated a weak effect of muscle loosening but its mixture with water extractable fraction did not have this effect in contrast to the case wild type whose methanol extract mixture with water extractable fraction still retained a strong anti-convulsional muscle loosening effect. Therefore, it is concluded that wild peony root has more analgesic and muscle loosening effect than the cultivated counterpart has.

The first-order conditional moment closure (CMC) model is applied to $CH_4$/Air turbulent jet diffusion flames(Sandia Flame D, E and F). The flow and mixing fields are calculated by fast chemistry assumption and a beta function pdf for mixture fraction. Reacting scalar fields are calculated by elliptic CMC formulation. The results for Flame D show reasonable agreement with the measured conditional mean temperature and mass fractions of major species, although with discrepancy on the fuel rich side. The discrepancy tends to increase as the level of local extinction increases. Second-order CMC may be needed for better prediction of these near-extinction flames.
