RCM is used to clarify the complex phenomena of engine combustion. In order to describe engine combustion, several significant experimental studies are considered. Prediction of the peak pressure is very important since it has a significant influence on engine combustion. In addition, peak-temperature variation can be calculated from the measured peak pressure by using the fundamental thermodynamic relation. When the RCM is in operation, heat transfer occurs through the cylinder wall. Because of this phenomenon, it is difficult to determine the peak pressure without employing the case by case experimental method. The goal of this study is to evaluate the peak pressure analytically. We conduct an experiment to confirm the relationship between the peak pressure and some parameters. Using the results of the peak pressure variation experiment, we develop a general equation that be used to calculate the peak pressure as a function of operation time and compression ratio.

The dissociation constants of 4-Cl-1-naphthol, 6-Br-2-naphthol and $8-NH_2-2-naphthol$ in aqueous solution were measured by spectroscopic method in the temperature range from 25 to 40${\circ}C$ and pressure up to 2000bar. The dissociation constants were decreased as the substituents were inserted in naphthol f rom $4.4{\times}10^{-10}\;to\;5.82{\times}10^{-11}$ as chloride compound and $2.5{\times}10^{-10}\;to\;3.44{\times}10^{-11}\;or\;4.21{\times}10^{-11}$ as bromine or amino compounds, respectively. This decrease can be explained with the I-or R-effects of substituents. From the dissociation constants various thermodynamic properties were calculated and discussed the characteristics of the dissociation reaction.

The x-values in the nonstoichiometric chemical formulas $YO_{1.5+x}\;and\;HoO_{1.5+x}$, have been measured in the temperature range from 700$^{\circ}$C to 1000$^{\circ}$C under oxygen pressures from $2{\times}l0^{-1}\;to\;1{\times}10^{-6}$ atm by gravimetric method. The observed x-values increase with increasing temperature and oxygen pressure. The enthalpies of formation of excess oxygen in yttrium oxide and holmium oxide decrease with decreasing oxygen pressure and are all positive values representing an endothermic process. The 1/n values calculated from the slopes of the plots of log x vs. log $P_{O2}$ increase with temperature and are positive values which means the higher oxygen pressure dependence at higher temperature. We have examined the nonstoichiometric defect and conduction mechanism from x-values and thermodynamic data.

The rates of solvolysis for p-nitrobenzyl chloride have been measured by the electric conductivity method in aqueous ethanol from 0.0 to 0. 5 mole fraction of ethanol under various pressures up to 1200bar at 50 and $60{\circ}C$. The activation parameters, ${\Delta}V_\0^{\neq},\ {\Delta}H^{\neq}$ and ${\Delta}S^{\neq}$ are evaluated from the rate constants. The results indicated that ${\Delta}V_\0^{\neq}$ exhibits an extremum behaviors near 0.3 mole fraction of ethanol and ${\Delta}H^{\neq}$ and ${\Delta}S^{\neq}$ near 0.1 mole fraction of ethanol. This behaviors are discussed in terms of solvent structure variation and the pressure dependences of ${\Delta}H^{\neq},\ {\Delta}H^{\neq}$ and ${\Delta}S^{\neq}$ are also discussed individually. The signs of the pressure dependence of ${\Delta}H^{\neq}$${\Delta}S^{\neq}$ are shown to be consistent with those required by the Maxwell relationships for classical thermodynamic systems.

Rates for the aquation of trans-[Cr(tn)$_2Cl_2]^+$ and trans-[Cr(en)(tn)Cl$_2$]^+$ ions in aqueous acidic solution have been measured by spectrophotometric method at various temperatures and pressures. Activation volumes are negative and lie in the limited range -1.7 ∼ -2.9cm$^3$mol$^{-1}$ or the complex ions. Activation entropies and activation compressibility coefficients are small negative values. From the results of thermodynamic parameters, it can be inferred that the aquation of the complex ions proceed through an associative interchange(Ia) mechanism. Furthermore, the information on possible transition state structure and reaction paths can be obtained by considering total stabilization energy of the hypothetical intermediates within the framework of angular overlap model. It is found that the theoretically predicted mechanism is consistent with the experimentally observed results.

The two dissociation constants of three amino acid, glycine, alanine, and tryptophan were measured by the conductometric method in the temperature from 15 to 35$^{\circ}$C and pressure up to 2,500bar in aqueous solution. The both dissociation constants were increased as the temperature increased but the pressure effect were not same as the temperature effect. The first constants were increased as the pressure increased but second constants were decreased except tryptophan. The characteristic properties of these amino acids were discussed from the thermodynamic properties of the dissociation reaction. The substituted effects of the reaction were deduced from Hammett reaction and substituted constants which were calculated from the dissociation constants.

Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC) are the most appropriate for energy source of small robot applications. PEMFC has superior in power density and thermodynamic efficiency as compared with the Direct Methaol Fuel Cell (DMFC). Furthermore, PEMFC has lighter weight and smaller size than DMFC which are very important factors as small robot power system. The most significant factor of mobile robots is weight which relates closely with energy consumption and robot operation. This research tried to find optimum specifications in terms of type, number of cell, active area, cooling method, weight, and size. In order to find optimum 500W PEMFC, six options are designed in this paper and studied to reduce total stack weight by applying new materials and design innovations. However, still remaining problems are thermal management, robot space for energy sources, and so on. For a thermal management, design options need to analysis of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for determining which option has the improved performance and durability.

Ocean thermal energy conversion(OTEC) is a power generation method that utilizes temperature difference between the warm surface seawater and cold deep sea water of ocean. As potential sources of clean-energy supply, Ocean thermal energy conversion(OTEC) power plants' viability has been investigated. Therefore, this paper evaluated the thermodynamic performance of solar-OTEC convergence system for the production with electric power and desalinated water. The comparison analysis of solar-OTEC convergence system performance was carried out as the fluid temperature, saturated temperature difference and pressure of flash evaporator under equivalent conditions. As a results, maximum system efficiency, electric power and fresh water output show at 40, 10, 2.5 kPa of the flash evaporator pressure, respectively. And their respective enhancement ratios were approximately 6.1, 18, 8.6 times higher than that of the base open OTEC system. Also, performance of solar-OTEC system is the highest in the flash evaporator pressure of 10 kPa.

This study investigates characteristics of wintertime simulation conducted by METRI AGCM utilizing new radiation parameterization scheme. New radiation scheme is based on the method of Chou et al., and is utilized in the METRI AGCM recently. In order to analyze characteristics of seasonal simulation in boreal winter, hindcast dataset from 1979 to 2005 is produced in two experiments - control run (CTRL) and new model's run (RADI). Also, changes in performance skill and predictability due to implementation of new radiation scheme are examined. In the wintertime simulation, the RADI experiment tends to reduce warm bias in the upper troposphere probably due to intensification of longwave radiative cooling over the whole troposphere. The radiative cooling effect is related to weakening of longitudinal temperature gradient, leading to weaker tropospheric jet in the upper troposphere. In addition, changes in vertical thermodynamic structure have an influence on reduction of tropical precipitation. Moreover, the RADI case is less sensitive to variation of tropical sea surface temperature than the CTRL case, even though the RADI case simulates the mean climate pattern well. It implies that the RADI run does not have significant improvement in seasonal prediction point of view.

The dissociation constants of ${\beta}$-alanine and ${\gamma}$-aminobutyric acid were measured in the temperature range from 20 to $40^{\circ}C$ and pressure up to 2,500 bar by conductometric method. The both dissociation constants of respective amino acid increase with temperature increase but pressure effect is not same as the temperature. The $K_1$ increases as pressure increases but $K_2$ decreases. The properties of these amino acids were discussed in terms of the thermodynamic properties of the dissociation reaction. A relationship between the dissociation constants and the distance between substituted groups of amino acid was discussed. The substituted effects of the reaction were deduced from Hammett reaction and substituted constants which were calculated from the measured dissociation constants.
