This study examines the concentrations of particulate-phase polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and gas-phase PAHs in sidestream cigarette smoke. Sixteen PAHs were determined for four brands of cigarettes. The volume of the experimental room is approximately $66m^3$. The air samples in the room were collected before and after smoking. The median total of particulate-phase and gas-phase PAH concentrations before smoking $3.13ng/m^3$and $48.0ng/m^3$, respectively. The median concentrations of them after smoking were $10.0ng/m^3$ and $79.6ng/m^3$. The median increases in the total of 16 PAH concentrations per cigarette during smoking were 271 ng for the particulate-phase PAHs and 1960 ng for the gas-phase PAHs. According to the relationship between particulate-phase and gas-phase PAHs after smoking, the two- to four-ring gas-phase PAHs and the higher molecular weight particulate-phase PAHs were probably formed from similar precursors. The relationship between the total suspended particulate (TSP) concentration and the increase in the total particulate-phase concentration of the 16 PAHs per cigarette during smoking were significantly positive. The increase in the total gas-phase concentration of the 16 PAHs tended to increase as the TSP concentration increased. This may indicates that decreasing the amount of TSP produced inhibit the production of PAHs during smoking.

Radial color gradient of early type galaxies (ETGs) is a key tool for studying the evolution of these galaxies. In this work, we investigated whether ETGs having negative or positive color gradients show any distinguishable characteristics in the galaxy properties. We selected sample of 211 ETGs at 0.01 < z < 0.5 in the Spitzer FLS field, then we constructed u-R color gradients. We obtained the stellar mass, specific star formation rate and fluxes of emission lines of each ETG from MPA-JHU DR7 catalog. Spitzer IRAC and MIPS 24 micron data were used to detect dust emission from the ETGs. Preliminary result shows that less massive galaxies are likely to have positive color gradients, which is probably due to the ongoing star formation in the galaxy core. Almost all AGNs have negative color gradients. This probably is because AGNs are located in relatively massive galaxies with little ongoing star formation. There exists a marginal difference in the percentage of galaxies with PAH emission between ETGs having positive color gradient and negative color gradient. This also supports that ETGs with positive color gradient are galaxies having enhanced star formation.

The flame structure and soot formation in the counterflow Ethylene-Air nonpremixed flame are numerically analyzed. The present soot reaction mechanism involves nucleation, surface growth, particle coagulation, and oxidation steps. The gas phase chemistry and the soot nucleation, surface growth reactions are coupled by assuming that the nucleation and soot mass growth has the certain relationship with the concentration of benzene and acetylene. In terms of the centerline velocity and the soot volume fraction, the predicted results are compared with the experimental data. The detailed discussion has been made for the sensitivity of model constants and the deficiencies of the present model. Numerical results indicated that the acetylene addition to the soot surface plays the dominant role in the soot mass growth for the counterflow nonpremixed flame.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon growth from cyclopentadiene (CPD) pyrolysis was investigated using a laminar flow reactor operating in a temperature range of 600 to $950^{\circ}c$. Major products from CPD pyrolysis are benzene, indene and naphthalene. Formation of observed products from CPD is explained as follows. Addition of the cyclopentadienyl radical to a CPD $\pi$-bond produces a resonance-stabilized radical, which further reacts by one of three unimolecular channels: intramolecular addition, C-H bond $\beta$-scission, or C-C bond $\beta$-scission. The intramolecular addition pathway produces a 7-norbornenyl radical, which then decomposes to indene. Decomposition by C-H bond $\beta$-scission produces a biaryl intermediate, which then undergoes a ring fusion sequence that has been proposed for dihydrofulvalene-to-naphthalene conversion. In this study, we propose C-C bond $\beta$-scission pathway as an alternative reaction channel to naphthalene from CPD. As preliminary computational analysis, Parametric Method 3 (PM3) molecular calculation suggests that intramolecular addition to form indene is favored at low temperatures and C-C bond $\beta$-scission leading to naphthalene is predominant at high temperatures.

$PM_{2.5}$ is one of critical air pollutants due to its high absorbability of heavy metallic fumes, PAH and bacillary micro organisms. Such a fine particulate matter is often formed through various nucleation processes including condensation. This study attempts to find the nucleation behaviors of $PM_{2.5}$ arisen from coal power stations using a classical heterogeneous Fletcher's theory. The numerical simulation by C-language could approximate the nucleation process of $PM_{2.5}$ from water vapor, of which approach revealed the required energy for embryo formation and embryo size and nucleation rate. As a result of the calculation, it was found that wetting agents could affect the particle nucleation in vapor condensation. In particular, critical contact angle relates closely with the vapor saturation. Particle condensation could be reduced by lowering the angles. The wetting agents aid to decrease the contact angle and surface tensions, thereby may contribute to save the formation energy.

We present the result of systematic AKARI IRC infrared $2.5-5{\mu}m$ spectroscopy of >100 nearby luminous infrared galaxies, to investigate the energetic roles of starbursts and optically-elusive buried AGNs. Based on (1) the equivalent widths of the $3.3{\mu}m$ PAH emission features, (2) the optical depths of absorption features, and (3) continuum slopes, we can disentangle emission from starbursts and AGNs. We find that the energetic importance of buried AGNs increases with increasing galaxy infrared luminosities, suggesting that the AGN-starburst connections (and thereby possible AGN feedback to host galaxies) are luminosity dependent.

The first near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopic survey of SDSS-selected blue early-type galaxies (BEGs) has been conducted using the AKARI/IRC. The NIR spectra of 36 BEGs are successfully secured, which are well balanced in their SF/Seyfert/LINER type composition. For high signal-to-noise ratio, we stack the BEG spectra all and in bins of several properties: color, specific star formation rate and optically-determined spectral type. We estimate the NIR continuum slope and the 3.3 micron PAH emission equivalent width in the stacked BEG spectra, and compare them with those of SSP model galaxies and known ULIRGs. We first report the NIR spectral features of BEGs and discuss the nature of BEGs based on the comparison with other objects.

Experimental measurements of flame structure and soot characteristics were performed for ethene inverse diffusion flames (IDF). IDF has been considered as the excellent flow field to study the incipient soot because soot particle do not experience the oxidation process. In this study, LIF image clarified the reaction zone of IDF with OH signal and PAH distribution. laser light scattering technique also identified the being of soot particle. To address the degree of soot maturing, C/H ratio and morphology of soot sample were investigated. From these measurements, the effect of flow residence time and temperature on soot inception could be suggested, and more details on soot characteristic in the IDF was determined according to fuel dilution and flame condition. The fuel dilution results in a decrease of temperature and enhancement of residence time, but the critical dilution mole fraction is existed for temperature not to effect on soot growth. Also, the soot inception evolved on the specific temperature and its morphology are independent of the fuel dilution ratio of fuel.

본 연구는 참기름 제조 과정 중 참깨를 볶는 과정에서 온도와 시간에 따른 PAHs 생성량 변화를 분석하고 볶음방법에 따라 PAHs 생성량의 변화를 알아보고자 실시하였다. 분석 표준물질은 돌연변이원성과 발암성이 있는 것으로 알려진 8가지 PAH를 선정하여 HPLC/FLD를 이용하여 정성 정량분석을 하였고, 제조한 참기름의 색도를 비교해보기 위해 색차계를 이용하여 명도(L), 적색도(a), 황색도(b)를 측정하였다. 분석 결과 참깨를 볶는 온도와 시간에 따라 PAHs 함량은 1.67-4.66 ${\mu}g$/kg으로 증가하였다. 가열 온도가 증가할수록 PAHs 생성량은 유의적으로 증가하였다. 가열 시간에 따른 PAHs 함량을 비교해보면, 190, $220^{\circ}C$에서 가열 시간이 늘어날수록 PAHs 생성량은 다소 증가하였으나 유의적인 차이가 없었지만, 고온인 $250^{\circ}C$에서는 볶음 시간이 늘어남에 따라 PAHs 생성량은 유의적인 차이를 보였다. 볶음 방법에 따른 PAHs 함량은 간접가열 방식인 열풍을 이용하여 참깨를 볶은 후 착유한 참기름이 직접가열 방식으로 볶은 후 착유한 참기름보다 적게 검출되었다. 참기름의 색도를 비교했을 때 온도와 시간이 증가함에 따라 명도(L)와 황색도(b)는 감소하였고, 적색도(b)는 증가하였다. 볶음 방법 중 열풍가열 조건에서 $250^{\circ}C$에서 10-25분 볶은 후 착유한 참기름의 색도가 시중에 판매되고 있는 참기름과의 색도와 비슷한 결과값을 나타냈다. 반면에 직접 가열 조건에서 볶은 참깨를 착유한 참기름의 색도는 시중에 판매되는 참 기름 보다 명도(L), 적색도(a), 황색도(b)가 낮아 어둡고 탁한 색을 띄어 품질적인 차이를 보였다. 결론적으로 PAHs 생성량을 고려해 볼 때 참기름 제조에 가장 적당한 볶음 온도와 시간은 낮을수록 좋으나 색도에서 품질적인 차이를 보였다. 이에 따라 본 실험을 통해 색도, 가열온도와 시간, 가열방법을 생각해 볼 때, 열풍 가열방법 $250^{\circ}C$에서 10분간 볶은 후 착유하는 참기름 제조 방법이 가장 효율적인 가공방법으로 판단되었다.

액체 로켓 엔진의 가스발생기는 터빈 블레이드의 열적 손상을 막기 위해 온도의 제한이 있으며 이를 위해 농후 또는 희박 연소를 하게 된다. 따라서 비평형 화학 반응이 주로 발생하며 이를 해석하는 것은 매우 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 케로신과 액체산소를 추진제로 하는 가스발생기에 대하여 Dagaut이 제안한 상세 화학 반응 단계를 사용하여 완전 혼합 반응기 연소 모델의 수정을 통해 계산하였으며, Frenklach의 soot 모델을 적용하여 예측 결과의 몰 분율, 가스 물성치 등의 결과에 대한 개선 방향을 제시하였다.
