A numerical method of the CSF(Continuum Surface Force) model is presented for the calculation of the surface tension force and implemented in an in-house solution code(PowerCFD). The present method(code) employs an unstructured cell-centered method based on a conservative pressure-based finite-volume method with volume capturing method(CICSAM) in a volume of fluid(VOF) scheme for phase interface capturing. The application of the present method to a 2-D liquid drop problem is illustrated by an equilibrium and nonequilibrium oscillating drop calculation. It is found that the present method simulates efficiently and accurately surface tension-dominant multiphase flows.

메탄 하이드레이트는 낮은 온도와 높은 압력 조건에서 물분자들의 격자구조에 메탄가스분자가 포획되어 수소결합으로 형성되는 외관상 얼음과 비슷한 결정성 화합물이다. $1m^3$의 메탄 하이드레이트는 표준상태에서 $172m^3$의 메탄가스와 $0.8m^3$의 물로 분해되며, $-10^{\circ}C{\sim}-20^{\circ}C$의 온도에서는 하이드레이트 입자표면에서 생성되는 얼음막으로 인하여 상압에서도 안정하게 존재하는 자기보존 효과를 가지고 있다. 따라서 이와 같은 특징을 천연가스 수송 및 저장의 방법으로 이용할 경우 $-162^{\circ}C$의 초저온을 만들고 유지시키기 위하여 고가의 설비를 필요로 하는 기존의 LNG 수송방법을 대체할 수 있다. 특히 연간 천연가스 소비량을 0.4 ~ 1.0 million ton으로 가정했을 때, 하이드레이트 수송방법은 LNG 수송에 비해 18 ~ 25% 정도의 비용을 절약할 수 있는 경제적인 방법으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 하이드레이트를 인공적으로 제조할 경우 물분자와 가스분자의 반응율이 낮기 때문에 하이드레이트가 생성되기까지 많은 시간이 소요되며, 하이드레이트에 포획되는 가스분자의 양도 적다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 다공성 물질인 천연 제올라이트와 제올라이트 13X를 이용하여 제올라이트 혼합유체를 제조하였으며, 메탄가스와 반응시켜 하이드레이트를 생성시키는 실험을 수행하였다. 그 결과, 하이드레이트 생성 시 천연 제올라이트와 제올라이트 13X 모두 0.01 wt%의 혼합비율에서 가장 좋은 효과를 나타내었으며, 하이드레이트에 포획된 가스의 양은 같은 과냉도 조건에서 천연제올라이트와 제올라이트 13X 혼합유체를 이용하여 하이드레이트를 생성 시켰을 때, 증류수보다 각각 4배, 5배 높음을 보였다. 또한 낮은 과냉도에서 하이드레이트 생성 시 제올라이트, 제올라이트13X 혼합유체에서 하이드레이트 생성시간이 증류수에서 하이드레이트를 생성시킬 때보다 빨라짐을 확인하였다.

Six-valent chromium ($Cr^{6+}$) is a highly toxic pollutant, supplied in a variety of industrial activities such as leather tanning, cooling tower blowdown, and plating. Herein, we investigated the removal of $Cr^{6+}$ from aqueous phase using low-cost adsorbents. Steel slag, montmorillonite, illite, kaolinite, red mud, and acid treated red mud with 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 M HCl were used as adsorbent for the removal of $Cr^{6+}$ and the results showed that acid treated red mud with 2.0 M HCl (ATRM-2.0 M) had higher adsorption capacity of $Cr^{6+}$ than other adsorbents used. Accordingly, $Cr^{6+}$ removal by ATRM-2.0 M were studied in a batch system with respect to changes in initial concentration of $Cr^{6+}$, initial solution pH, adsorbent dose, adsorbent mixture, and seawater. Equilibrium sorption data were described well by Freundlich isotherm model. The influence of initial solution pH on $Cr^{6+}$ adsorption was insignificant. The use of the ATRM-2.0 M alone was more effective than mixing it with other adsorbents including red mud, zeolite, oyster shell, lime stone, and montmorillonite for the removal of $Cr^{6+}$. The $Cr^{6+}$ removal of the ATRM-2.0 M was slightly less in seawater than deionized water, resulting from the presence of anions in seawater competing for the favorable adsorption site on the surface of ATRM-2.0 M. It was concluded that the ATRM-2.0 M can be used as a potential adsorbent for the removal of $Cr^{6+}$ from the aqueous solutions.

The activity of an antimicrobial peptide, protegrin-1, on the well-aligned lipid bilayer deposited on a thin coverglass plate was investigated by $^2H$ solid-state NMR spectroscopy. Orientational distribution and molecular motion in the lipid bilayer were determined from $^2H$ solid-state NMR spectrum. Reorientational motion of lipid molecules in the vacuum-dried state was found to be small but their orientational distribution was not able to be determined. As storage times were longer, the order of the alignment of lipid molecules in the lipid bilayer and percentages involved in the toroidal pore structures increased. We found that much longer time is required to get the equilibrium state of the peptide-lipid mixture under our experimental condition for investigating the action of the antimicrobial peptide like protegrin-1 on the lipid bilayers deposited on the thin coverglass plates.

Flame spread experiments of a fuel droplet array were performed using a microgravity environment. N-decane, 1-octadecene, and the blends (50% : 50% vol.) of these fuels were used and the experiments were conducted at pressures up to 5.0 MPa, which are over the critical pressure of these fuels. Observations of the flame spread phenomenon were conducted for OH radical emission images recorded using a high-speed video camera. The flame spread rates were calculated based on the time history of the spreading forehead of the OH emission images. The flame spread rate of the n-decane droplet-array decreased with pressure and had its minimum at a pressure around half of the critical pressure and then increased again with pressure. It had its maximum at a pressure over the critical pressure and then decreased gradually. The pressure dependence of flame spread rate of 1-octadecene were similar to those of n-decan, but the magnitude of the spread rate was much smaller than that of n-decane. The variation of the flame spread for the blended fuel was similar to that of n-decane in the pressure range from atmospheric pressure to near the critical pressure of the blended fuel. When the pressure increased further, it approached to that of 1-octadecene. Numerically estimated gas-liquid equilibrium states proved that almost all the fuel gas which evaporated from the droplet at ordinary pressure consisted of n-decane whereas near and over the critical pressure, the composition of the fuel gas was almost the same as that of the liquid phase, so that the effects of 1-octadecene on the flame spread rate was significant.

A study has been made on the recovery & separation of cobalt and copper from organic acid leaching solution by solvent extraction. The experimental parameters such as the equilibrium pH, concentration of extractant and phase ratio were observed. Copper was extracted using LIX 84 and Cobalt was extracted using cyanex 272 and versatic acid 10. Experimental results showed that extraction percent of copper was 99% at above eq. pH 2.0 and then more than 90% of cobalt were extracted by cyanex 272 in eq. pH 6.0 and versatic acid 10 in eq. pH 7.5. Stripping of copper and cobalt from the loaded organic phases can be accomplished by sulfuric acid as a stripping reagent and 120 ~ 150 g/L of $H_2SO_4$ was effective for the stripping of copper and cobalt respectively. Finially, the basic optimal process for recovery of copper and cobalt from the bio-leaching solution was proposed.

In this work, the performance of various promoters was investigated used in $CO_2$ separation from the gases emitted from steel-making process using gas hydrate technology. The studied promoters are tetrahydrofuran (THF), propylene oxide and 1,4-dioxane, which are all expected to form a structure II hydrate, and the target gases include $CO_2/N_2$ mixed gases ($CO_2/N_2$ = 20/80 and 40/60) and Blast Furnace Gas (BFG). The phase equilibrium points were measured when each promoter was added with various concentrations. For fast acquisition of abundant data, the "continuous" Quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) method was employed. In addition, the crystal structure of each gas hydrate was analyzed by Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD).

In this research, equilibrium of adsorption and kinetics of As(V) removal were investigated. The coal mine drainage sludge(CMDS) was used as adsorbent. To find out the physical and chemical properties of CMDS, XRD (X-ray diffraction), XRF (X-ray fluorescence spectrometer) analysis were carried out. The CMDS was consist of 70% of goethite and 30% of calcite. From the results, an adsorption mechanism of As(V) with CMDS was dominated by iron oxides. Langmuir adsorption isotherm model was fitted well more than Freundlich isotherm adsorption model. Adsorption capacities of CMDS 1 was not different with CMDS 2 on aspect of amounts of arsenic adsorbed. The maximum adsorption amount of two CMDS were respectively 40.816, 39.682 mg/g. However, the kinetic of two CMDS was different. The kinetic was followed pseudo second order model than pseudo first order model. Concentrations of arsenic in all segments of the polymer in CMDS 2 does not have a constant value, but the rate was greater than the value of CMDS 1. Therefore, CMDS 2, which is containing polymer, is more effective for adsorbent to remove As(V).

The growing demand to make wireless data services 5G compatible has necessitated the development of an energy-efficient approach for an effective new wireless environment. In this paper, we first propose a cognitive sensor node (CSN) based game theory for deriving energy via a primary user-transmitted radio frequency signal. Cognitive users' time was segmented into three phases based on a time switching protocol: energy harvest, spectrum sensing and data transmission. The proposed model chooses the optimal energy-harvesting phase as the effected factor. We further propose a distributed energy-harvesting model as a utility function via pricing techniques. The model is a non-cooperative game where players can increase their net benefit in a selfish manner. Here, the price is described as a function pertaining to transmit power, which proves that the proposed energy harvest game includes Nash Equilibrium and is also unique. The best response algorithm is used to achieve the green connection between players. As a result, the results obtained from the proposed model and algorithm show the advantages as well as the effectiveness of the proposed study. Moreover, energy consumption was reduced significantly (12%) compared to the benchmark algorithm because the proposed algorithm succeeded in delivering energy in micro which is much better compared to previous studies. Considering the reduction and improvement in power consumption, we could say the proposed model is suitable for the next wireless environment represented in 5G.

Complex formations of practically insoluble antelmintic drugs such as mebendazole (MBZ), albendazole (ABZ) and flubendazole (FBZ) with dimethyl-$\beta$-cyclodextrin (DM-$\beta$-CyD) and 2-hydroxypropyl-$\beta$-cyclodextrin (HP-$\beta$-CyD) together with $\alpha$-, $\beta$- and $\gamma$-cyclodextrins(CyDs) in duffered solutions were investigated by solubility method. $A_{L}$ type phase solubility diagrams were obtained in all cases except for the complexation (B$_{s}$, type) of FBZ with $\gamma$-CyD. The highest stability constants were obtained with DM-$\beta$-CyD, followed by $\alpha$-CyD > $\beta$-CyD > HP-$\beta$-CyD > $\gamma$-CyD for ABZ, and HP-$\beta$-CyD > $\gamma$-CyD > $\beta$-CyD > $\alpha$-CyD for FBZ at pH 1.2. On the other hand, solid dispersion systems of ABZ and FBZ with $\beta$- and DM-$\beta$-CyDs were prepared by solvent evaporation method and evaluated by dissolution, differential thermal analysis and powder x-ray diffractometry. The dissolution rates of ABZ- and FBZ-DM-$\beta$-CyD solid dispersions were much faster than those of drugs alone, corresponding physical mixtures and tablets on market both at pH 1.2 and 6.8. Although dissolution rates of all samples at pH 6.8 were by far lower than those obtained at pH 1.2, as explained by pH-solubility profiles for ABZ and FBZ, the dissolution rates at pH 6.8 of ABZ from $\beta$- and DM-$\beta$-CyD solid dispersions exceeded the respective equilibrium solubility (23.9 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml). Fast dissolution of ABZ from solid dispersions with CyDs was attributed to the reduction of drug crystallinity and particle size which was supported by DTA and powder x-ray diffractometry. Consequently these results suggest that solid dispersion systems with CyDs may provide useful means to markedly enhance the solubility and dissolution of benzimidazole antelmintic drugs.
