Nickel based oxygen transfer materials supported on two different YSZs were tested to evaluate their performance in methane chemical-looping reforming. The oxygen transfer materials of YSZs were selected with different amount of the doped yittrium in the $ZrO_2$ structure. The yittrium of 8 mol% stabilized the zirconia oxide to a cubic structure compare to the 3 mol% doping, which is known to be a good for oxygen transfer. Various nickel amounts (16wt.%, 32wt.%, 48wt.%) were loaded on the selected supports. The nickel amount of 32% shows the optimized catalyst structure with good physical properties and reducibility from the XRD, BET and H2-TPR analysis, especially when the support of 8YSZ was used. From the methane chemical-looping reforming, hydrogen was produced by methane decomposition catalyzed by Ni on both YSZs. Comparing two YSZ supports of 3YSZ and 8YSZ during the cycling tests, the catalyst with 8YSZ (Ni 32%) exhibits not only the higher methane conversion and hydrogen production but also a faster reaction rate reaching to the stable point.

Candida parapsilosis ATCC 22019 돌연변이주를 이용하여 xylitol 생산에 영향을 주는 배양 조건인 pH와 온도 그리고 교반속도 및 산소전달속도등의 환경인자가 Xylitol의 생성에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 발효조에서 pH가 증가 할수록 균체농도와 기질소비속도가 증가하여 발효시간이 단축되었다. 그러나, Xylitol생산은 pH 4.5와 5.5에서 큰 차이 없이 50g/l의 xylose로 부터 약 34g/l로 최대농도를 보여주었다. 온도가 증가 할수록 최대 비증식속도가 증가하였지만 최종 균체농도는 감소하였고, xylitol 생산성은 $30^{\circ}C$에서 최대값을 보여주었다. 산소전달속도의 영향을 조사하기 위하여 발효조의 교반속도를 변화시키면서 배양한 결과 균체농도는 산소 전달속도가 높을수록 증가하였지만, xylitol 생산은 크게 감소하였다. 교반속도를 150rpm(산소전달속도 $30\;hr^{-1}$에 해당)으로 배양할때 발효시간 62시간에서 50g/l의 xylose로 부터 xylitol 농도가 35.8g/l로 최대값을 나타내었다. Xylitol 생산성을 증가시키기 위하여 1차 발효가 끝난 발효조에서 균체를 회수하여 20g/l로 농축하여 최적조건인 pH 4.5, $30^{\circ}C$, 산소전달속도 $30\;hr^{-1}$에서 재배양을 하였을 때 50g/l의 xylose가 배양시간 약 18시간만에 모두 이용되었고 전환수율 80%에 해당하는 40g/l의 Xylitol이 생성되었다. 이때 Xylitol의 생산성은 2.22g/l-hr으로 일반 발효때 얻은 $0.5{\sim}g/l-hr$ 보다 약 $3{\sim}4$배 증가되었다.

We investigated the effects of operating variables, such as electrical. reactor and gas parameters on toluene removal and discharge property in the dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) process. The toluene removal was initiated with the energy transfer to the reactor by loading of voltages higher than the discharge onset value. The energy transfer and toluene removal increased with the applied voltage. Higher removal rate was observed with smooth surface electrode despite of lower energy transfer compared with the coarse electrode, because more uniform discharge can be obtained on smooth surface state. The decrease of dielectric material thickness enhanced the removal efficiency by increasing the discharge potential. The toluene removal efficiency decreased with the increase of the inlet concentration. The increase of gas retention time enhanced the removal efficiency by the increase of energy density. The oxygen and humidity contents seem to exert significant influences on the toluene removal by dominating the generation of electrons, ions, and radicals which are key factors in the removal mechanism.

It is clear that monocrystalline Silicon (Si) ingots are the key raw material for semiconductors devices. In the present industries markets, most of monocrystalline Silicon (Si) ingots are made by Czochralski Process due to their advantages with low production cost and the big crystal diameters in comparison with other manufacturing process such as Float-Zone technique. However, the disadvantage of Czochralski Process is the presence of impurities such as oxygen or carbon from the quartz and graphite crucible which later will resulted in defects and then lowering the efficiency of Si wafer. The heat transfer plays an important role in the formation of Si ingots. However, the heat transfer generates convection in Si molten state which induces the defects in Si crystal. In this study, a crystal growth simulation software was used to optimize the Si crystal growth process. The furnace and system design were modified. The results showed the melt-crystal interface shape can affect the Si crystal growth rate and defect points. In this study, the defect points and desired interface shape were controlled by specific crystal growth rate condition.

Methanotrophic denitrification under a non-aerated condition (without external supply of oxygen or air) was investigated in a bioreactor coupled with a membrane diffuser. Batch experiment demonstrated that both methane consumption and nitrogen production rates were not high in the absence of oxygen, but most of the nitrate was reduced into $N_2$ with 88% recovery efficiency. The methane utilized for nitrate reduction was determined at 1.63 mmol $CH_4$/mmol $NO_3{^-}$-N, which was 2.6 times higher than the theoretical value. In spite of no oxygen supply, methanotrophic denitrification was well performed in the bioreactor, due to enhanced mass transfer of the methane by the membrane diffuser and utilization of oxygen remaining in the influent. The denitrification efficiency and specific denitrification rate were 47% and 1.69 mg $NO_3{^-}-N/g\;VSS{\cdot}hr$, respectively, which were slightly lower than for methanotrophic denitrification under an aerobic condition. The average concentration of total organic carbon in the effluent was as low as 2.45 mg/L, which indicates that it can be applicable as a post-denitrification method for the reclamation of secondary wastewater effluent. The dominant fatty acid methyl ester of mixed culture in the bioreactor was $C_{16:1{\omega}7c}$ and $C_{18:1{\omega}7c}$, which was predominantly found in type I and II methanotrophs, respectively. This study presents the potential of methanotrophic denitrification without externally excess oxygen supply as a post-denitrification option for various water treatment or reclamation.

순산소 전로 후드의 일산화탄소와 열회수를 위해서는 고효율의 증기를 발생시키는 증기드럼의 장착이 필요하다. 그러나 제선 제강공정에서 증기발생은 간헐적이거나 주기적인 산소 취입공정기간에 제한적이다. 따라서, 증기드럼은 전로의 주기에 따른 산소의 취련기간 동안 효율적으로 증기를 발생시키도록 최적 설계되어야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 다양한 운전조건 및 기하학적 형상변화가 증기드럼 내의 열유동 특성과 성능에 미치는 효과를 예측할 수 있는 3차원 전산유체역학 모델을 제안하였다. 본 모델은 유체유동 및 열전달 뿐만 아니라 계면유동에서의 증발 및 응축을 유한체적법을 사용하여 고려하였다. 본 모델의 예측성능을 검증하기 위하여 실험에서 구한 증기발생량과 비교하였으며 3.2%의 상대오차를 보였다.

There is a significant demand to make various dissolved gases in water. However, the conventional aeration method shows low gas mass transfer rate and gas utilization efficiency. In this study, a novel rotating wheel entraining gas method was developed for making high dissolved $O_2$ and $O_3$ in water. It produced higher concentration and higher transfer rate of dissolved $O_2$ and $O_3$ than conventional bubble aeration method, especially almost 100% of gas transfer efficiency was achieved for $O_3$ in enclosed reactor. For application of rotating wheel entraining gas method, aerobic bio-reactor and membrane bio-reactor (MBR) were successfully used for treatment of domestic and pharmaceutical wastewater, respectively; and vacuum ultraviolet $(VUV)/UV+O_3/O_2$ reactors were well used for sterilization in air/water, removal of dust particles and toxic gases in air, and degradation of pesticide residue and sterilization on fruits and vegetables.

This study investigates the enhancement of the oxygen diffusion rate in the cathode channel of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) by pure oscillating flow, which is the same as the mechanism of human breathe. Three-dimensional numerical simulation, which has the full model of the fuel cell including electrochemical reaction, ion and electronic conduction, mass transfer and thermal variation and so on, is performed to show the phenomena in the channel at the case of a steady state. This model could analysis the oscillating flow as a moving mesh calculation coupled with electrochemical reaction on the catalyst layer, however, it needs a lot of calculation time for each case. The two dimensional numerical simulation has carried on for the study of oscillating flow effect in the cathode channel of PEMFC in order to reduce the calculation time. This study shows the diffusion rate of the oxygen increased and the emission rate of the water vapor increased in the channel by oscillating flow without any forced flow.

(La,Sr)MnO$_3$(LSM)-YSZ 복합체 양극의 산소환원 반응기구에 대해 고찰하였다. YSZ를 첨가함에 따라 복합체 양극의 ohmic 저항이 증가하고, 분극 저항은 YSZ를 40 wt%~50 wt% 혼합하였을 때 최소값을 나타내었다. 또한 LSM-YSZ 복합체 양극의 산소환원 반응기구는 1가 산소이온의 표면확산과 산소이온전달반응에 의해서 지배됨을 알 수 있었다. 임피던스 분석 결과에 따르면 고주파수 영역에서 나타나는 반원은 산소이온전달반응으로 산소분압 의존성이 거의 없고, YSZ가 40 wt% 첨가되었을 때 최소값을 나타내었다. 중간주파수 영역에서 나타나는 반원은 1가 산소이온의 표면확산반응으로 산소분압 의존성은 약 1/4이고, YSZ가 40~50 wt% 첨가되었을 때 최소값을 나타냈다. 한편, 저주파수 영역에 나타나는 반원은 가스확산반응으로 산소분압 의존성이 1이고, 온도에 따른 의존성이 거의 없었다.

In order to increase thrust of the space launch vehicle, liquid oxygen as an oxidizer and kerosene or liquid hydrogen as a fuel are generally used. The oxidizer tank and fuel tanks are manufactured by composite materials such as CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic) to increase pay load. The thermal stress of the cryogenic propellant tank should be considered because it has large temperature gradient. In this study, to confirm the design integrity of the oxidizer tank of liquid oxygen, a numerical analysis was conducted on the thermal stress and temperature distribution of the tank for various charging speed of the cryogenic fluid from 100 ~ 900 LPM taking into account the evaporation rate of the liquid nitrogen by convective heat transfer outside the tank and boiling heat transfer inside the tank. The thermal stress was also calculated coupled with the temperature distribution of the CFRP tank. Based on the analysis results, the charging speed of the LN2 can majorly affects the charging time and the resultant thermal stress.
