  • Needle coke is an important material for graphite electrodes. Delayed coking is used to produce needle coke. Producing good quality needle coke is not simple because it is a multi-parameter controlled process. Apart from that, it is important to understand the mechanism responsible for the delayed coking process, which involves mesophase formation and uniaxial rearrangement. Temperature and pressure need to be optimized for the different substances in every feedstock. Saturate hydrocarbon, aromatic, resin and asphaltene compounds are the main components in the delayed coking process for a low Coefficient Thermal Expansion value. In addition, heteroatoms, such as sulphur, oxygen, nitrogen and metal impurities, must be considered for a better graphitization process that prevents the puffing effect and produces better mesophase formation.

  • In this study, an offshore process FEED(Front End Engineering Design) method is systematically established to perform integrated process engineering for topsides systems of LNG FPSO(Floating, Production, Storage, and Off-loading unit) based on the concepts and procedures for the process FEED of general offshore production plants. First, various activities of the general process FEED engineering are summarized, and then the offshore process FEED method, which is suitable for application to all types of offshore oil and gas production plants, is proposed. Second, an integrated process engineering environment is built based on the proposed FEED method. Finally, the integrated process engineering environment is applied to topsides systems of an LNG FPSO in order to verify the validity and applicability of the proposed FEED method. As a result, it is shown that the proposed FEED method can be applied to the process FEED engineering of FPSOs and moreover will be able to contribute to perform successful offshore projects in the future.

  • We propose an ultrashort pulse optical code-division multiple-access (O-CDMA) scheme based on a pseudorandom binary M-sequence spectral phase encoding and decoding of coherent mode-locked laser pulses and perform a numerical simulation to analyze its feasibility. We demonstrate the ability to properly decode any of the multiple (eight) 10 Gbit/s users by the matched code selection of the spectral phase decoder. The peak power signal to noise ratio of properly and improperly decoded $8{\times}10 Gb/s$ signals could be greater than 15 for 127 M-sequence coding.

  • Recently, the modern society in development and industrial growth is investing a lot of time and much effort to improvement and environment of life quality. Thus, the casting tape which uses environmentally friendly and human body friendly water hardening process Polymer is rapidly substituted for the gypsum cast product which has been plentifully used in medical treatment. Until currently, prior researches have a tendency to focusing the analysis about chemical creation expense and reaction quality rather than the issue about optimization of the process for this polymerization. In the polymerization process which has been accomplished with actual same chemical creation expense, there has been a problem which is the possibility of getting a different result. This is because the optimization of respectively control factors is not accomplished which affect at polymerization process. Therefore, this research sees the chemical qualities of casting tape Polymer, consequently selects the polymerization process which is suitable. And, by using a experimental design, this research will evaluate the affects which the respective factors have on remaining NCO and viscosity. futhermore, this research will carry out the process optimization which can get the above results.

  • Recently, the bending process is greatly applied to fabricate the pipe line. Bending process can reduce welding joints and then decrease the number of inspection. Thus, the maintenance cost will be reduced. Induction heat bending process is composed of bending deformation by repeated local heat and cooling. By this thermal process, corrosion properties and microstructure can be affected. This work focused on the effect of induction heating bending process on the properties of ASME SA106 Gr. C low carbon steel pipes. Microstructure analysis, hardness measurements, and immersion corrosion test were performed for base metal and bended area including extrados, intrados, crown up, and down parts. Microstructure was analyzed using an optical microscope and SEM. Hardness was measured using a Rockwell B scale. Induction heat bending process has influenced upon the size and distribution of ferrite and pearlite phases which were transformed into finer structure than those of base metal. Even though the fine microstructure, every bent area showed a little lower hardness than that of base metal. It is considered that softening by the bending process may be arisen. Except of I2, intrados area, the others showed a similar corrosion rate to that of base metal. But even relatively high rate of intrados area was very low and acceptable. Therefore, it is judged that induction heat bending process didn't affect boric acid corrosion behaviour of carbon steel.

  • A high voltage NMOSFET is proposed to drive top emission organic light emitting device (OLED) used in the organic electroluminescent (EL) display on the single crystal silicon substrate. The high voltage NMOSFET can be fabricated by utilizing a simple layout technique with a standard CMOS logic process. It is clearly shown that the maximum supply voltage ($V_{DD}$) required for the pixel-driving transistor could reach 45 V through analytic and experimental methods. The high voltage NMOSFET was fabricated by using a standard 1.5 ${\mu}m$, 5 V CMOS logic process. From the measurements, we confirmed that the high voltage NMOSFET could sustain the excellent saturation characteristic up to 50 V without breakdown phenomena.

  • Enterobacter sp. producing -$\beta$-galactosidase with high transgalactosylation activity was isolated from dairy wastewater. The isolate had common biochemical features to E. aerogenes and E. cloacae. Enzyme production increased as the cell mass increased with optimum enzyme activity of 0.21 Unit/mg-protein (o-nitro-phenyl-$\beta$ -D-galactoside (ONPG) as substrate) until 8 hr of culture. Whole cells permeabilized by toluene were used to produce galacto-oligosaccharide. Optimum toluene concentration, temperature and pH for -$\beta$-galactosidase activity of permeabilized whole cells were 10% (v/v), $50^{\circ}C$ and 6.0, respectively. A maximum of 38% (w/w) of galacto-oligosaccharide was obtained with lactose concentration of 20% (w/w) at $40^\{\circ}C$ and pH 6.0.

  • Batch fermentations of lactic acid were performed with Lactobacillus casei to investigate the effect of pH on cell growth and production of lactic acid and by-products. Maximum productivity of lactic acid increased with increasing pH from 5.0 to 6.5, and the extent of D-lactate production was different at each pH. Acetate and D-lactate concentrations increased even after the complete consumption of glucose in the medium. While a pH range of 6.0-6.5 was optimal for cell growth and lactic acid production, superior results were achieved at pH 6.0 when both maximum lactic acid productivity and minimum by-product formation were considered.
