Laminar flows in which mixing and chemical reactions take place between parallel streams of reactive species are studied numerically. The governing equations for laminar flows are from two-dimensional compressible boundary-layer equations. The chemistry is a finite rate single step irreversible reaction with Arrhenius kinetics. Ignition, premixed flame, and diffusion flame regimes are found to exist in the laminar reacting mixing layer at high activation energy. At high Mach numbers, ignition occurs earlier due to the higher temperatures in the unburnt gas. In diffusion regimes, property variations affect the laminar profiles considerably and need to be included when there are large temperature differences. The maximum temperature of a laminar reacting mixing layer is almost linear with the adiabatic flame temperature at low heat release, but only weakly at high heat release.

Numerical study is conducted to predict effects of radiative heat loss and fuel composition in synthetic gas diffusion flame diluted with $CO_2$. The existing reaction models in synthetic gas flames diluted with $CO_2$ are evaluated. Numerical simulations with and without gas radiation, based on an optical thin model, are also performed to concrete impacts on effects of radiative heat loss in flame characteristics. Importantly contributing reaction steps to heat release rate are compared for synthetic gas flames with and without $CO_2$ dilution. It is also addressed that the composition of synthetic gas mixtures and their radiative heat losses through the addition of $CO_2$ modify the reaction pathways of oxidation diluted with $CO_2$.

We present the results of the linear analysis for the Parker-Jeans instability in the magnetized gas disks including the effect of cosmic-ray diffusion along the magnetic field lines. We adopted an uni-formly rotating two temperature layered disk with a horizontal magnetic fields and solved the perturbed equations numerically. Fragmentation of gases takes place and filamentary structures are formed by the growth of the instability. Nagai et al. (1998) showed that the direction of filaments being formed by the Parker-Jeans instability depends on the strength of pressure outside the unperturbed gas disk. We found that at some range of external pressures the direction of filaments is also governed by the value of the diffusion coefficient of CR along the magnetic field lines k.

A fuel cell which causes electrochemical ratio of conventional with oxygen consists of mainly there parts, such as electrolyte, fuel and oxidant electrode. IN this paper, most efforts were delivered to manufacturing PETE-bonded gas-diffusion electrode, and preparation methods of the porous electrodes has been discussd. A medio temperature, phosphoric acid fuel cell (PAFC) provided with fuel (hydrogen) and oxygen showed oxygen showed excellent performance characteristics with made electrodes. Performance data obtained from hydrgen-oxygen cell were presented to illustrate their properties. It was found that the optimum amounts of platinum in clectrode for hydrgen-oxygen PAFC were about 3mg/cm3 and the PTFE content of gas diffusion layer and catalyst layer were 25% and 15%, respectively.

고분자전해질 연료전지 (PEMFC)의 가격 결정 요인 중 막 전극 접합체 (MEA)가 차지하는 비중은 약 45%정도이며, 이것을 구성하는 주요 부품인 기체 확산층 (GDL)은 carbon paper나 carbon cloth 형태가 사용되고 있다. 그렇지만 GDL을 제조하는 공정은 매우 복잡하고, 그 가격이 너무 높은 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 카본블랙, 흑연 등의 탄소화합물과 polymer binder를 이용하여 단순화된 공정으로 GDL을 제조하였다. 또한, GDL의 물리적 특성이 전극 성능에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위하여 표면 morphology, 접촉각 및 표면에너지, 전기전도도, 기체투과도, porosity, pore distrivution 등을 측정하였고, 각각의 GDL 표면에 동량의 Pt 촉매를 도포하여 MEA를 제작한 후 그 성능을 평가하였다.

The transport mechanisms of the MTES (methyltriethoxysilane) templating silica/a-alumina composite membrane were evaluated by using four binary and one quaternary hydrogen mixtures through permeation experiments at unsteady- and steady-states. Since the permeation flux in the MTES membrane, through the experimental and theoretical studies, was affected by molecular sieving effects as well as surface diffusion properties, the kinetic and equilibrium separation should be considered simultaneously according to molecular properties. In order to depict the transient multi-component permeation on the templating silica membrane, the GMS (generalized Maxwell-Stefan) and DGM (dust gas model) were adapted to unsteady-state material balance.

A screening study was performed in order to resolve the flow, combustion and emission characteristics of the gas furmace with co-axial diffusion flane burner. A control-valume based finite-difference method with the power-law scheme was employed for discretization. Numerical procedure for the differential equation was used by SIMPLEST to enclosute rapid converge. A k-.varepsilon. model was incorporated for the closure of turbulence. The mass fraction and mixture fraction were calculated by cinserved scalar method. An equilibrium analysis was employed to determine the concentration of radicals in the product stream and conserbation equations were them solved for N amd NO by Zelovich reaction scheme. The method was exercised in a simple one-dimensional case first, to determine the effects of air ratio, temperature and residence time on NO formation and applied to a furnace with co-axial diffusion flame burner.

An experiment using preheated air in the coaxial diffusion flame burner was carried out in order to decrease NOx emission and improve the thermal efficiency. Preheated air combustion generally produces high NOx emissions but it was known very well to reduce NOx emission by diluting the combustion air with inert gas in preheated air combustion. In our study, $N_2$ gas was used for diluent and propane was utilized for fuel. We set the combustion air temperature on 300K, 500K, 700K, 900K and dilution level from 21% to 10% in terms of oxygen concentration. NOx emission increased along increment of combustion air temperature and decreased along increment of dilution level(lowering of oxygen concentration in combustion air). Flame-off limit with dilution level enhanced, flame length became longer and the location of maximum flame temperature became lower with increasing of combustion air temperature.

The breakdown phenomena of N2 gas by 13.56MHz electric field are very different from those under steady field. In this paper we analyzed the breakdown phenomena by using electron distribution function and diffusion equation. The second-order differential equation derived from the Boltzmann equation is solved for the electron distribution function. The ionization rate and diffusion coefficient are calculated using kinetic theory formulas. The breakdown condition is that the number of electrons produced by ionization equal the number diffusing to the walls of the discharge chamber. Theses theoretical breakdown electric fields are calculated by the computer and compared with the experimental values.

In PVC/PS pelyblend laminated membranes, perrneabilities were increased as increasing the blend ratio of PS and selectivities were increased with increasing the blend ratio of PVC. The gas permeation mechanism was shifted from the combination of Poiseuille and Knudsen flow model to the solution-diffusion model as decreasing the PS blend ratio. The structure of polyblend laminated membranes showed series model, where PS rich phase was formed at air side and PVC rich phase was at water side. The model of permeation in the polyblend laminated membranes also showed series model structure.
