In order to utilize the refrigerants condensation heat of condenser on the absorption chiller system, the solution cooling condenser(SCC) were proposed, which weak solution of absorber outlet use as a cooling water. As the UA of the solution cooling condenser increased, increasement of COP is about maximum 0.09 in occasion of single effect and is about maximum 0.08 in occasion of double effect series flow. In the case of heat exchanger efficiency is about 0.85, it's increments are 0.08 and 0.072, each. And solution cooling condenser is a more effective device in the single effect absorption system more than double effect system for the principle of operation. In order to increases the heat of solution cooling condenser, if reduce the flow rate of cooling water or the value of UA, it makes COP increase a little, but it brought COP decrease because of increasing the pressure of system.

A circular tube undergoes bucking behavior when it is subjected to axial loading. An upper bound analysis can be an attractive approach to predict the buckling load and energy absorption efficiently. The upper bound analysis obtains the load or energy absorption by means of assumption of the kinematically admissible velocity fields. In order to obtain an accurate solution, kinematically admissible velocity fields should be defined by considering many factors such as geometrical parameters, dynamic effect, etc. In this study, experiments and finite element analyses are carried out for circular tubes with various dimensions and loading conditions. As a result, the kinematically admissible velocity field is newly proposed in order to consider various dimensions and the strain rate effect of material. The upper bound analysis with the suggested velocity field accurately estimates the mean load and energy absorption obtained from results of experiment and finite element analysis.

The absorption capacity and initial absorption rate of $CO_2$ into aqueous $K_2CO_3$ solutions were measured by using VLE(Vapor-Liquid-Equilibrium) equipment in the pre-combustion condition. Absorption experiments were conducted within the temperature range of $40{\sim}80^{\circ}C$ while increasing the $CO_2$ pressure from 0 to 50bar. The effect of $K_2CO_3$ concentration was investigated by varying in the range of 5~20%. As a results, the absorption capacity and initial absorption rate were increased with increasing $K_2CO_3$ concentration in the absorbents. Also, the initial absorption rate was highest at $40^{\circ}C$. Further more, we have studied the effect of adding piperazine and homopiperazine to $K_2CO_3$ solutions. The results showed that absorption capacity of $CO_2$ was somewhat increased by adding piperazine.

In this paper, we report measurement of absorption coefficient for various InGaAs MQW QCSE device structures. The absorption spectra over a range of QCSE were obtained from measured photocurrent spectra. The refractive index changes with applied electric field were calculated from the absorption spectra.

The sound absorption coefficient of glass wool (bulk density of 48 kg/$m^3$ and 32 kg/$m^3$) was measured by reverberation room method as varying their cross-sectional area. The results show that the absorption is larger for smaller samples because of edge effect. The absorption coefficient with two different kinds of sources, 1/3-octave band and white noise, gives similar values.

The changes of water absorption and surface area of polydimethylsiloxane-5-fluorouracil devices containing different water soluble additives such as sodium chloride, glycerine, poly-propylene glycol(PPG 400), and polyethylene oxide(PEO 400, 400 and 2000) were investigated. It was confirmed that carriers controlled water absorption and swelling of the devices in the aqueous solutions. The water absorption and the swelling were affected by the osmotic pressure and ionic strength of the aqueous solutions.

We propose a modulation scheme of optical absorption in a coupled asymmetric quantum well (QW) structure via electrically controllable quantum interference. It is based on the parallel-perpendicular energy coupling effect. We show that by applying an external electric Held in the parallel direction (to the QW layers), we can obtain a maximum (peak-type) absorption at a specific wavelength where absorption cancellation would occur due to electrically induced transparency without such an external Held .

It has been known that dietary phytate decreases the absorption of body zinc pool which is composed of the dietary and endogenous zinc in the body. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of phytate on the absorption of total bodyzinc in Zn-depleted rats. Rats were Zn-depleted with either low(0.8%) or high(1.6%) Ca diet containing sodium phytate for 4 weeks. After zinc depletion, rats were assigned into phytate or non-phytate dietary groups within each low-or high-Ca dietary group. ant feces were collected for 2 weeks of the initial collection and 1 week after dietary crossover, during which the phytate and the non-phytate diet was switched over within the same Ca group. The content of Zn and Ca measured by atomic absorption spectrophotometer and phytate content was analyzed. food intake was higher in the high Ca group than in the low Ca group(p <0.0001), and was also higher in the non-phytate group than in the phytate group(p <0.0001). Food intake and phytate level affected body weight gain in rats(p <0.0001). Zinc excretion in the total feces was higher in the phytate group than in the non-phytate group at both low and high Ca level(p <0.0001), except during the crossover collection period in high Ca group. Calcium, however, didn't show any synergistic effect on phytate effect(p <0.05). This study showed that phytate decreased the absorption of total body zinc at both low and high Ca levels in Zn-depleted rats. A large portion of total body zinc originated from the endogenous zinc pool in these rats. The results of the present study showed the same effect of phytate on the endogenous zinc in Zn-depleted rats as in a previous study, confirming that phytate adversely affects zinc bioavailability, especially under marginal and poor zinc nutrition.

The mediation methods suggested by Baron and Kenny, Sobel, Aroian and Goodman, have widely used to test the mediating effect. However, as there are many problems in statistical test power, as well as statistical accuracy, a bootstrapping technique has been suggested as an alternative. In this paper, we adopt the phantom variables based on the bootstrapping technique to test the mediating effect in multiple mediator model consisting of three or more mediating variables. In particular, we formulate the multiple mediator model for analyzing the relations among organizational resources, the absorption capacity as mediating variables and technology commercialization capabilities. And using the bootstrapping approach, we analyzed the mediating effect of the absorption capacity by setting of phantom variables and calculated total indirect effect size and the statistical significance. The empirical results are as follows. First, we confirmed that the bootstrapping approach and the phantom variable is the very efficient and systematic mediation method. Second, we recognized that there is a difference in the mediating characteristics of the absorption capacity depending on the resource characteristics of human resources and material resources obviously.

In most absorption machines, absorption enhancement has been achieved by adding small amount of surfactant additive, which introduced the surface tension difference between absorbent and surfactant droplets in the vapor absorption. The aim of this study is to understand a basic mechanism of Marangoni convection and its effectiveness in the vapor absorption enhancement. In this study, nonflowing aqueous solution of LiBr 60 mass% was exposed to saturated water vapor under the condition that two dropwises surfactant were fixed on the absorbent surface. Our experiments achieved to visualize the enhanced heat and mass transfer phenomena by the effect of Marangoni convection through the laser holographic interferometry. Also, Marangoni convection behavior was obtained by using tracer method.
