The main objective of the present study is to achieve linear temperature distribution of cooling surface of plunger. K type thermocouples are attached at the surface of plunger to measure temperature. Nozzle and insulating material are inserted in the pin hole of the plunger for this study. Cooling water flow enters at one nozzle and leaves at three nozzles. Flow through nozzle can be activated in the pin hole, temperature of hot point around hole is decreased. Meanwhile, insulating material blocks off heat transfer, temperature of cold point around hole is increased. By combination of nozzle and insulation, heat transfer of hole is controlled effectively, as result its, temperature of plunger surface shows linear temperature distribution.

Carbon-nitrogen (CN) nanofibers have been produced using a water cooled hot isostatic pressure (HIP) apparatus. The CN nanofibers were grown in random with the diameter of about 100-150nm and length over $10{\mu}m$. Emission properties of CN nanofibers were investigated for spacing, between anode and cathode, variation. Then turn-on fields about $1.4V/{\mu}m$. The time reliability and light emission test were carried out for above 100 hours. We suggest that CN nanofibers can be possibly applied to high brightness flat lamp because of low turn-on field and time reliability.

We created a new graphite-Cu(II) electrode and found that the electrode could catalyze FADH$_2$ oxidation and FAD reduction coupled to electricity production and consumption, respectively. In a fuel cell with graphite-Cu(II) anode and graphite-Fe(III) cathode, the electricity was produced by coupling to the spontaneous oxidation of FADH$_2$ Fumarate and xylose were not produced from the enzymatic oxidation of succinate and xylitol without FAD, respectively, but produced with FAD. The production of fumarate and xylose in the reactor with FAD electrochemically regenerated was maximally 2- 5 times higher than that in the reactor with FAD. By using this new electrode with catalytic function, a bioelectrocatalysts can be engineered; namely, oxidoreductase (e.g., lactate dehydrogenase) and FAD can function for biotransformation without an electron mediator and second oxidoreductase for cofactors recycling.

Variation of hardness and corrosion potential of welding zone was investigated when cold arc welding of cast iron was carried out with a parameter of Ni electrode. Hardness of HAZ was the highest compared to other welding zone. And corrosion potential of HAZ was also more negative value than other welding zone. However there was not a proportional relation between hardness and corrosion potential. Local corrosion of HAZ was clearly appeared than other welding zone by small anode and large cathode in seal water solution.

The electrochemical properties using the cells assembled with the synthesized $LiCoO_2$(LCO) were evaluated in this study. The LCO was synthesized from high-purity cobalt sulfate($CoSO_4$) which is recovered from the cathode scrap in the wastes lithium ion secondary battery(LIB). The leaching process for dissolving the metallic elements from the LCO scrap was controlled by the quantities of the sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide. The metal precipitation to remove the impurities was controlled by the pH value using the caustic soda. And also, D2EHPA and $CYANEX^{(R)}272$ were used in the solvent extraction process in order to remove the impurities again. The high-purity $CoSO_4$ solution was recovered by the processes mentioned above. We made the 6 wt.% $CoSO_4$ solution mixed with distilled water. And the 6 wt.% $CoSO_4$ solution was mixed with oxalic acid by the stirring method and dried in oven. $LiCoO_2$ as a cathode material for LIB was formed by the calcination after the drying and synthesis with the $Li_2CO_3$ powder. We assembled the cells using the $LiCoO_2$ powders and evaluated the electrochemical properties. And then, we confirmed possibility of the recyclability about the cathode materials for LIBs.

Saline water electrolysis, known as chlor-alkali (CA) membrane process, is an electrochemical process to generate valued chemicals such as chlorine, hydrogen and sodium hydroxide with high purities higher than 99%, using an electrolytic cell composed of cation exchange membrane, anode and cathode. It is necessary to reduce energy consumption per a unit chemical production. This issue can be solved by decreasing intrinsic resistance of the membrane and the electrodes and/or by reducing their interfacial resistance. In this study, the electron radiation grafting of a $Na^+$ ion-selective polymer was conducted onto a hydrocarbon sulfonated ionomer membrane with high chemical resistance. This approach was effective in improving electrochemical efficiency via the synergistic effect of relatively fast $Na^+$ ion conduction and reduced interfacial resistance.

The treated ballast water from previous treatment contains microorganisms and pathogenic organisms in an electrolytic treatment system. The experimental methods included using a peristaltic flow pump placed upward on an electrode pole. Due to the reaction time, the hydraulic retention time indicated unlike microorganisms on the flow rate. In electrolysis, dioxide iridium-coated titanium (Ti/Ir02) and stainless steel plates were used for the anode and cathode, respectively. Current density controls make use of a DC power supply on 250V, 100Amper. Experimental use of a current density between 0.1 and 1.0A/dm2 was able to disinfect the microorganism (E. coli, Bacteria, Bacillus sp.) in seawater for 5 seconds of reaction time. The removal rate was approximately $90\%,$ while the current density was 2.0A/dm2 and the electrode distance was 75mm. This study shows that the electrolytic treatment system has a potential for the sterilization of ballast water.

This study was to determine the optimum conditions of malt extracting temperature, extracting time of malt in water, ratio of malt to water, and rice volume of malt extract water on saccharification in producing sikhe (sweet rice drink) using central composite design of response surface methodology. Glucose and maltose were analyzed by a biosensor having dual cathode system. The optimum temperatures of malt extracting for glucose and maltose were 60 and $55^{\circ}C$. The saccharification power for the two sugars was highest when malt powder soaked for 6.5 and 5.75 hour, respectively. And ratios of malt to water for optimum saccharification were 1 : 6.3 to 1 : 8.8, respectively. The optimum volumes of malt extracting to rice for the two sugars were 0.48% and 0.6%, respectively. The application of response surface methodology to sikhe processing showed a good correlation with high significance.

In the present work, the operating parameters were optimized using Box Behnken Design (BBD) in response surface methodology (RSM) to maximize the hydrogen production rate (R₁) and hydrogen production rate per unit watt consumed (R₂) of a proton exchange membrane electrolysis cell (PEMEC), a third response (R₃) which was the sum of the scaled values of R₁ and R₂ were selected to be maximized so that both hydrogen production rate and hydrogen production rate per unit watt consumed could be maximized. The major parameters which were influencing the experiment for enhancing the output responses were oxygen electrode/anode electrocatalyst loading (A), current supplied (B) and water inlet temperature (C). The commercial proton exchange membrane Nafion^® was used as the electrolyte. The acetylene black carbon (C_AB) supported IrO₂ was used as the electrocatalyst for preparing oxygen electrode/anode whereas commercial Pt (40 wt%)/C_HSA was used as the H₂ electrode/cathode electrocatalyst. The quadratic model was developed to predict the output/ responses and their proximity to the experimental output values. The developed model was found to be significant as the P values for both the responses were < 0.0001 and F values were greater than 1. The optimum condition for both the responses were O₂ electrode/anode electrocatalyst loading of 1.78 mg/cm², supplied current of 0.33 A and water inlet temperature of 54℃. The predicted values for hydrogen production rate (R₁) and hydrogen production rate per unit watt consumed (R₂) were 2.921 mL/min and 2.562 mL/(min·W), respectively obtained from the quadratic model. The error % between the predicted response values and experimental values were 1.47% and 3.08% for R₁ and R₂, respectively. This model predicted the optimum conditions reasonably in good agreement with the experimental conditions for the enhancement of the output responses of the developed PEM based electrolyser.
