The InP thin films grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) are widely used to optoelectronic devices such as laser diodes, wave-guides and optical modulators. Effects of various parameters controlling film growth rate such as gas-phase reaction rate constant, surface reaction rate constant and mass diffusivity are numerically investigated. Results show that at the upstream region where film growth rate increases with the flow direction, diffusion including thermal diffusion plays an important role. At the downstream region where the growth rate decreases with flow direction, film deposition mechanism is revealed as a mass-transport limited. Mass transport characteristics are also studied using systematic analyses.

In order to evaluate the devolatilization models of pulverized coal, various devolatilization models are examined for the numerical analysis of Drop Tube Furnace.The results of analysis are compared with the experimental results. A numerical study was conducted to explore the sensitivities of the predictions to variation of the model parameters. It helps to elucidate the source of the discrepancies. Three different wall temperature conditions of the DTF, 1100, 1300 and $1500^{\circ}C$ were considered in this analysis. Two fuels are U.S.A. Alaska coal and Australia Drayton coal. The results of analysis with constant rate model, single kinetic rate model and two competing rate modes well presented fast volatile matter release in the early devolatilization. However, in the latter devolatilization they did not coincide with experimental results which presented tardy volatile matter release on account of pyrolysis of high molecular substance. On the other hand, the results of analysis with DAEM(Distribute Activation Energy Model) coincided with experiment al results in overall devolatilization.

Effect of ethanol on the absorption rate, blood level and bioavailability of sulfamethazine (SM) in rats was determined. Absorption rate of SM was determined both by the in vitro and in situ experiment. In vitro, absorption rate of SM in rat small intestine was increased by 0.3, 1.0 and 3.0% ethanol. In situ, absorption rate of SM was increased by 0.3 and 1.0% ethanol but not by 3.0% ethanol. After oral administration, blood level of SM was elevated and relative bioavailability was significantly increased to 114.8% at the dose of 0.6g/kg ethanol but not significantly at the dose of 3.0g/kg ethanol. The time for attainment of peak blood level was changed from 2.5 to 1.5hr. Ethanol enhanced absorption rate constant of SM significantly and reduced elimination rate constant of SM administered orally at the dose of 0.6g/kg ethanol.

A frequently recurring question posed by researchers concerns a test of a constant failure rate against the alternative of a failure rate involving a single chang-point. Park (1988) has presented a new test procedure for testing constant failure rate against a bathtub shaped (upside-down bathtub shaped) failure rate. assuming that the proportion of population that fails at or before the change point of failure rate is known. Jeong (1992) has extended Park's test to randomly censored data under the same assumption. In this paper, we have investigated efficiency loss to the presence of censoring.

In this study, the Tier 2 method recommended by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was used to predict the methane generation rate at two landfill sites, designated as Y and C for purposes of this study, in South Korea. Factors such as the average annual waste disposal, methane emissions ($L_0$) and methane gas generation rate constant (k) were estimated by analyses of waste and the historical data for the landfills. The value of k was estimated by field experiments and then the changes in the methane generation rate were predicted through the year 2050, based on the value of k. The Y landfill site, which was in operation until the year 2008, will generate a total of 17, 198.7 tons by the end of 2018, according to our estimations. At the C landfill site, which will not be closed until the end of 2011, the amount of methane gas generated in 2011 will be 3,316 tons and the total amount of gas generated by 2029 will be 61,200 tons. The total production rate of methane gas at the C landfill is higher than that of the Y landfill. This indicates that the capacity of a landfill site affects the production rate of methane gas. However, the interrelation between the generation rate of methane and the value of k is weak. In addition, the generation of methane gas does not cease even when the operations at a landfill site come to a close and the methane gas production rate is at its highest at end of the operating life of a landfill site.

We investigate the kinetics of diffusion-influenced catalytic reactions occurring in small reaction volume. From a simple exact model study, we find that the reaction rate coefficient decreases with the size of reaction volume. The explicit expression for the average reaction rate constant is presented, which can be regarded as a generalization of well-known Collins-Kimball rate constant into the reactions occurring in a small reaction volume. It turns out that the traditional diffusion influenced reaction dynamics is followed by a single exponential relaxation phase with a rate constant dependent on the reaction volume for the catalytic reactions occurring in small reaction volumes.

This study was performed to find out drying characteristics and develop drying model for the design of an efficient dryer or drying system of red peper. The basic model which describes drying phenomenon of red pepper was firstly established, and drying tests were conducted at 14-different drying conditions. In this test, the effects of drying air temperature and relative humidity on the rate of drying were undertaken. Finally, a new drying model based on these experimental results was developed to describe the drying characteristics of red pepper. The results from this study may be summarized as follows. 1. Drying constant of the basic model established from Lewis' experimental model and diffusion equation was theoretically deduced as a function of moisture content and inner-temperature of red pepper. 2. From the results of drying tests, drying air temperature was found to have the greatest effect on the rate of drying. However, the effect of temperature was small for the condition of high relative humidity, and for low temperature, the effect of relative humidity was found to be large even though the range of relative humidity was low. 3. Modified Henderson equation was found to be better than Chung equation as the EMC model for the estimation of the equilibrium moisture content of red Pepper. 4. Constant-rate drying period did not exist in the red pepper drying test. And falling-rate drying period was divided into three distinct phases. Drying rate was dependent on the moisture content, the inner-temperature of red pepper and the change of physical property due to drying. 5. Drying constant increased with decrease of free moisture content, but it decreased at the end of the drying period. Also, drying constant was dependent on the drying air temperature and relative humidity. 6. The new drying model developed in this study was found to be most suitable in describing the drying characteristics of red pepper. Therefore, it may be concluded that drying time could be accurately estimated by the new drying model.

This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation on the combustion of single droplets and 1-D droplet arrays of jet A-1 fuel droplets in atmospheric pressure. Experimental results indicate that burning rate constants$({\kappa}_c)$ of jet A-1 fuel droplets were independent of initial droplet size as $0.915{mm}^2$/sec. It was acquired a general relationship expressing the variation of $d^2$ with time for droplet burning For 1-D droplet arrays $(l/d_o$=1.208{\sim}2.922)$/TEX>, the burning rate constant ${\kappa}_c$ decreased with decreasing droplet spacing $l/d_o$ and, The effect on combustion rate constant ${\kappa}_c$ was stronger to second fuel droplet than third fuel droplet with uniform droplet distance

This study is mainly focused on micellar effect of tetradecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide(TTABr) solution including alkylbenzimidazole(R-BI) on dephosphorylation of diphenyl-4-nitrophenylphosphinate(DPNPIN) in carbonate buffer(pH 10.7). Dephosphorylation of DPNPIN is accelerated by $BI^{\Theta}$ ion in $10^2$ M Carbonate buffer(pH 10.7) of $4{\times}10^{-4}$ M TTABr solution up to 80 times as compared with the reaction in Carbonate buffer by no benzimidazole(BI) solution of TTABr. The value of pseudo first order rate constant($k_{\psi}$) of the reaction in TTABr solution reached a maximum rate constant increasing micelle concentration. The reaction mediated by $R-BI^{\Theta}$ in micellar solutions are obviously slower than those by $BI^{\Theta}$, and the reaction rate were decreased with increase of lengths of alkyl groups. It seems due to steric effect of alkyl groups of $R-BI^{\Theta}$ in Stern layer of micellar solution. The surfactant reagent, TTABr, strongly catalyzes the reaction of DPNPIN with R-BI and its anion($R-BI^{\Theta}$) in Carbonate buffer(pH 10.7). For example, $4{\times}10^{-4}$ M TTABr in $1{\times}10^{-4}$ M BI solution increase the rate constant($k_{\psi}=99.7{\times}10^{-4}1/sec$) of the dephosphorylation by a factor ca. 28, when compared with reaction($k_{\psi}=3.5{\times}10^{-4}1/sec$) in BI solution(without TTABr). And no TTABr solution, in BI solution increase the rate constant($k_{\psi}=3.5{\times}10^{-4}1/sec$) of the dephosphorylation by a factor ca. 39, when compared with reaction ($k_{\psi}=1.0{\times}10^{-5}1/sec$) in water solution(without BI).

The drying characteristics of fluidized bed drying with different drying conditions using naked barley were carried out. This fluidized drying mechanism of naked barley was consisted of consecutive two falling rate parts, first falling rate period and second falling rate period without showing constant rate period. The drying rate constant was increased with decreasing charged amount and relative humidity and increasing air temperature and air velocity. Since the drying rate constant expressed by Arrhenius type equation in the falling rate period showed good linearity, the falling rate period was considered as the controlling step. The activation energy of first falling step was 1,900 cal/gmol, while for second falling step the values showed 2,500 cal/gmol.
