Atmosphere Plasma of Gas Discharge (APGD) has been used in plasma sources for material processing such as etching, deposition, surface modification and so on due to having no thermal damages. The APGD researches on AC source with high frequency have been mainly processed. However, DC APGD studies have been not. In order to understand APGD further, it is necessary to study on fundamental properties of DC APGD. In this paper, we developed a one-dimensional fluid simulation model with capacitively coupled plasma chamber at the atmosphere pressure (760 [Torr]). Nine kinds of Ar discharge particles such as electron (e), positive ions ($Ar^+$, $Ar_2^+$) and neutral particles ($Ar_m^*$, $Ar_r^*$, $Ar_h^*$, $Ar_2^*$(1), $Ar_2^*$(3) and Ar gas) are considered in the computation. The simulation was worked at the current range of 1~15 [mA]. The characteristics of voltage-current were calculated and the structure of Joule heating were discussed. The spatial distributions of Ar DC APGD and the mechanism of power consumption were also investigated.

A flat type microgas sensor was fabricated on the p-type silicon wafer with low stress S $i_3$ $N_4$, whose thickness is 2${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ using MEMS technology and its characteristics were investigated. W $O_3$thin film as a sensing material for detection of N $O_2$gas was deposited using a tungsten target by sputtering method, followed by thermal oxidation at several temperatures (40$0^{\circ}C$~$600^{\circ}C$) for one hour. N $O_2$gas sensitivities were investigated for the W $O_3$thin films with different annealing temperatures. The highest sensitivity when operating at 20$0^{\circ}C$ was obtained for the samples annealed at $600^{\circ}C$. As the results of XRD analysis, the annealed samples had polycrystalline phase mixed with triclinic and orthorhombic structures. The sample exhibit higher sensitivity when the system has less triclinic structure. The sensitivities, $R_{gas}$ $R_{air}$ operating at 20$0^{\circ}C$ to 5 ppm N $O_2$of the sample annealed at $600^{\circ}C$ were approximately 90. 90.

In this paper, we studied the shadow effect which is one of environmental cause for hot-spot phenomenon on PV by considering electrical effects. We fabricated PV module in case of existence and nonexistence of bypass diode. And maximum output power and thermal distribution was analyzed by shadowing solar cell by increase of 5%. From the results, the PV module's(without bypass diode) maximum output power was reduced by hot-spot gradually. But the PV module's(with bypass diode) maximum output power had no reduction by operation of bypass diode, though solar cell is shadowed more than 60%. The solar cell temperature of PV module(without bypass diode) was $10^{\circ}C$ higher compared to module's one. This is a reason for shortening of durability of PV module.

Aluminized steel sheet is a material with excellent heat resistance, thermal reflection and corrosion resistance. It has wide applications, owing to its low cost and excellent performance, in the petrochemical industry, electric power and other energy conversion systems, etc and has attracted the attention of many investigators. But the welding of aluminized steel sheet has a problem of decreasing tensile-shear strength, caused by mixed Al in the weld. This study investigated behavior of Al and its structural properties to resolve this problem. Several analysis equipment(SEM, EDX, EPMA) were used to investigate Al element in the weld. Also microhardness tester and TEM equipment were used to find the intermetallic compound. As a result of this study, Al-rich zones existed in the weld and Fe-Al intermetallic compounds were found in these zones. At the same time, the weldability of aluminized stainless steel sheet was investigated and compared with that of aluminized steel sheet. Although there is a difference between the base metal of the low carbon steel and stainless steel, it is interpreted that a behavior of Al element in the weld is similar.

Citrate synthase 1 (mitochondrial) and citrate synthase 2 (nonmitochondrial) were purified from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The physical and enzymatic characteristics of citrate synthase 2 were ananlyzed in comparison with citrate synthase 1. Both isoenzymes were shown to be dimeric proteins of identical subunits, and the molecular weights of the subunits were estimated to be 48.3kDa for citrate synthase 1 and 47.0kDa for citrate synthase 2, respectively. The optimal pH value for enzyme activity was pH 7.5 for both isoenzymes. However, the optimal temperature for the activity was strikingly different; while the activity of citrate synthase 1 reached its peak at 65.deg.C, that of citrate synthase 2 was maximal at 40.deg.C. Citrate synthase 2 showed much lower thermal and pH stability than citrate synthase 1. In addition, citrate synthase 2 was affected much more by the metal ions such as $Zn^{2+}$ , $Mn^{2+ , and $Co^{2+} than citrate synthase 1. Among the several possible regulatory metabolites tested, ATP showed the strongest inhibitory effect on both enzymes. ADP and NADH were found to have greater effect on citrate synthase 2 than on citrate synthase 1. Kinetic analysis revealed that citrate synthase 2 has approximately 7- and 3.5-fold lower affinity to acetyl CoA and to oxaloacetate, respectively, than citrate synthase 1.

A numerical analysis has been conducted on the interaction of the thermal radiation and natural convection in a rectangular enclosure filled with a gray fluid. P-1 approximation is adopted for the radiative transfer and its application limit is examined. Considered are the Stark number effect, the optical thickness effect and the wall emissivity effect on the flow and heat transfer characteristics. As the Stark number increase or the optical thickness decreases, the boundary layer thickness and the flow velocity increase. Transition to turbulence is retarded with the increase of the radiation effect. When the optical thickness is one, the radiation effect is negligible for the Stark numbers larger than 10.

Analyses of flow and heat transfer characteristics and shape optimization of internally finned circular tubes have been performed for three-dimensional periodically fully developed turbulent flow and heat transfer. CFD and mathematical optimization are coupled in order to optimize the shape of heat exchanger. The design variables such as fin widths $(d_{1},\;d_{2})$ and fin height (h) are numerically optimized by minimizing the pressure loss and maximizing the heat transfer rate for limiting conditions of $d_{1}=0.2\~1.5\;mm,\;d_{2}=0.2\~1.5\;mm,$ and $h=0.2\~1.5mm$. Due to the periodic boundary conditions along main flow direction, the three layers of meshes are considered. The flow and thermal fields are predicted using the finite volume method and the optimization is carried out by means of the sequential quadratic programming (SQP) method which is widely used in the constrained nonlinear optimization problem.

Thermo-fluid characteristics in coke oven, sintering machine and blast furnace in iron-making facility are key processes related to the quality and productivity of the pig iron. Solid material in the processes usually forms a bed in a gas flow. For simulation of the processes by mathematical model, the solid beds are idealized to be a continuum and a reacting solid flow in the gas flow. Governing equations in the form of partial differential equations for the solid material can be constructed based on this assumption. Iron ore sintering bed is simulated and limited amount of parametric study have been performed. The results have a good agreement with the experimental results or physical phenomena, which shows the validity and applicability of the model.

A numerical study has been carried out for a solar water heater which consists of double skin solar vacuum tubes. Water is heated as it flows through the coaxial fluid conduit inserted in each tube. The space between the exterior of the fluid conduit and the glass tube is tilled with antifreeze solution. This is to facilitate heat transfer from the solar heated absorber surface to water and to prevent the functional problems due to freezing in frigid weather conditions. A one-dimensional steady state model is fully described which will be used to develop three-dimensional model using STAR-CD. These models could be used efficiently in designing double skin solar collector tubes with different geometrical parameters other than those considered in the present analysis. Results show a good agreement when compared with other experimental data demonstrating the reliability of the one-dimensional model employed.

This study the effect of pyrolysis products ABC dry chemical and of monoammonium phosphate on wood surface. When the pyrolysis product was removed from the wood surface, monoammonium phosphate was removed due to the high viscosity of the transparent pyrolysis product, but the ABC dry chemical was removed in a lump form. Thermal analysis showed that the pyrolysis characteristics of each sample were similar but the weight of pyrolysis residue was 55.9% for ABC dry chemical and 25.2% for monoammonium phosphate. The additives added to the ABC dry chemical also affect the weight of the pyrolysis residue and the fire protection effect of metaphosphoric acid.
