As a result of compressive strength, specimens having mixture rate of cockle shells of $15\%\;and\;20\%$ showed more increases of compressive strength than non-mixture specimens as age increases. Ductility capacity of specimens was higher in specimens mixing cockle shells than in specimens using general fine aggregates and specimen of $10\%$ of cockle shells was highest in ductility capacity. To sum up all experimental results, ductility capacity of specimen without shear reinforcement using mixture of cockle shell was higher than non-mixture specimen and it is considered that mixture of cockle shells up to $20\%$ as fine aggregate for concrete will be available. Continuous researches on durability, workability and economy of crushed cockle shells used for substitute fine aggregate of concrete will be needed.

This study investigated the engineering characteristics of non-sintering binder-stabilized mixtures consisting of different ratios of a hardening agent(3%, 6%, 9%, 12%) for recycling industrial by-products through several series of laboratory tests. The hardening agents consisted of two kinds of non-sintering binders(NSB-1, NSB-2), which were developed by using inter-chemical reactions among blast furnace slag, phospho-gypsum, and an alkali activator. In addition, ordinary Portland cement(OPC) was used to compare the engineering characteristics of the stabilized mixture. An unconfined compressive test showed that the unconfined compressive strength increased with the curing time and mixing ratio. Experimental test results indicated that the 7-day strength of the NSB-1 mixture was similar to that of the OPC mixture. However, its 28-day strength was higher than that of the OPC mixture. The secant module of elasticity showed a range of $E_{50}=(42-109)q_u$ regardless of the agents. Based on the results of triaxial tests, the cohesion and friction angle increased with the mixing ratio.

The non-evaporable water and calcium hydroxides were measured by TG/DTA for studying the temperature effect on hydration of concrete mixture. The experimental parameters introduced in this study were the curing temperatures, ages and W/C ratios. The mixing temperature was also controlled to improve the efficiency of experimental work. While the mixture cured at high temperature showed the large quantity of non-evaporable water and calcium hydroxides at early age, the production rate of these hydration products was decreased as increasing the curing age, and the quantity of hydration product became smaller than that of the corresponding mixture cured at lower temperature at later age.

Generally the accident by gas explosion in the working place is occurred at the condition of non-uniform mixture rather than uniform one. This study could predict the explosion phenomenon of non-uniform mixture with model explosion chamber which realize various practical conditions As a result, the mixing level of gas in the chamber depends on discharge area and velocity when there is gas discharge in certain space. In addition, as non-uniform increases, explosion pressure and its increasing rate decrease. However, firing risk after the explosion flame by infrared heat increase due to the increase of residence time of flame.

To product multi-grade oil like engine oil, a sort of mineral base oil is mixed with a fundamental additive liquid package and a polymer liquid as viscosity index improver in order to improve the lubricating property of oil. That is, engine oil is the mixture of more than two fluids. In this paper, it will be systematically organized the governing equation describing non-Newtonian thermo-hydrodynamic lubrication related with the mixture of incompressible fluids based on the principle of continuum mechanics. Then, in order to find how the thermal analysis effect on the bearing performance lubricated with the mixture of multi-fluids, it will be compared to the performances between the mixture of each liquid to be blended and multi-grade engine oil as a single fluid in a high speed journal bearing. It is found that, in the case of lower viscosity oil, the difference of pressure distribution between the above two cases turns out to be existed, even if the load capacity is same level.

Experiments were performed to investigate the heat transfer characteristics of nonazeotropic mixture R-22+R-114 in a heat pump system. The ranges of parameter, such as heat flux, mass flow rate, and quality were $8,141{\sim}32,564W/m^2$, 24~58kg/h, and 0~1, respectively. The overall compositions of the mixtures were 50 and 100 per-cent of R-22 by weight for R-22+R-114 mixture. The results indicated that there were distinct different heat transfer phenomena between the pure substance and the mixture. In case of pure refrigerant the heat transfer rates for cooling were strongly dependent upon quality of the refrigerant. Overall evaporating heat transfer coefficients for the mixture were somewhat lower than pure R-22 values in the forced convective boiling region. For a given flow rate, the heat transfer coefficient at the circumferential tube wall(top, side, and bottom of the test tube) for R-22/R-114(50/50wt%)mixture, however, was higher than for pure R-22 at side and bottom of the tube. Furthermore, a prediction for the evaporating heat transfer coefficient of the mixtures was developed based on the method of Yoshida et.al.'s. The resulting correlation yielded a good agreement with the data for the refrigerant mixtures.

A droplet fractionation method was previously developed to concentrate a dilute nonfoaming protein solution. In that earlier study with invertase, it was demonstrated that droplets created by ultrasonic energy waves could be enriched up to 8 times that of the initial dilute invertase solution. In this study, a mixture of bromelain (a foaming protein) and invertase (a nonfoaming protein) is investigated as a preliminary step to determine if droplet fractionation can also be used to separate a non-foaming protein from foaming proteins. The foaming mixture containing bromelain is first removed by bubbling the binary mixture with air. After the foam is removed, the protein rich air-water interfacial layer is skimmed off (prior to droplet fractionation) so as not to interfere with the subsequent droplet production from the remaining bulk liquid, rich in non-foaming protein. Finally, sonic energy waves are then applied to this residual bulk liquid to recover droplets containing the non-foaming protein, presumed to be invertase. The primary control variable used in this droplet fractionation process is the pH, which ranged for separate experiments between 2 and 9. It was observed that the maximum overall protein partition coefficients of 5 and 4 were achieved at pH 2 and 4, respectively, for the initial foaming experiment followed by the post foaming droplet fractionation experiment.

This paper has dealt with the effect of non ionized surfactant and water mixture on drag reduction and heat transfer enhancement in a circular pipe flow with experimentally. The test section was consisted of stainless steel pipe with inside diameter of 16mm. The wire coil was used to increase heat transfer in a pipe and the on ionized surfactant(Oleyl Dihydroxyethyl Amino Oxide, ODEAO) was used to reduce the drag force of water mixture with surfactant. The main parameters of this experiment were diameter and pitch of wire coil and the ratio of test section length and horizontal wire coil length. In this experiment, the acquired results were 1) Drag reduction effect existed in this ODEAO-water mixture, 2) Friction factor and heat transfer were increased with insertion the heat transfer enhancement coil, 3) With increasing of pitch ratio, heat transfer was decreased, and 4) Heat transfer was decreased by the decreasing of inserting coil diameter.

This research objective is to determine the optimal price break points for n­block tariff, because comparing non­linear pricing with uniform pricing on the basis of profit, n­block tariff outperforms two­part tariff, all unit discount price schedule, and uniform pricing. Although the merits of non­linear pricing are well documented, the attempt to practice the non-linear pricing in medical service sector has been relatively rare. The determination of the parameters under n­block tariff is the interesting decision making agenda for marketers. Under n­block tariff, the marketers should decide the optimal price break points and the optimal marginal price for each price zone. The results can be summarized as follows: The researchers found that mixture model can be the feasible methodology for determining the optimal number of n­block tariff and identifying the optimal segmentation criteria. We demonstrate the feasibility and the superiority of the mixture model by applying it to the database of medical examination. The results appear that the number of patients per month can be the optimal segmentation variable. And 6­block tariff is the optimal price break for this medical service.

This paper presents the surface flashover characteristics to simulate the poor contact between an anode and a solid dielectric in a $N_2/O_2$ mixture gas (8/2) under a non-uniform field. The surface flashover voltage of the $N_2/O_2$ mixture gas revealed the irregular tendency that was not in accordance with the Paschen's law with an increasing gap of the poor contact. In addition, the insulation performance of the $N_2/O_2$ mixture gas at 0.6MPa was comparable to that of $SF_6$ gas of 0.1MPa based on the insulation performance on the poor contact. These results are able to apply the insulation design of eco-friendly gas insulation switchgear considering the internal faults.
