In this study, the process parameters of liquid-liquid extraction were optimized to obtain a high purity and yield of paclitaxel in a pre-purification step. The optimal solvent ratio (methylene chloride/concentrated methanol extract ratio), extraction times, mixing time, and standing time for liquid-liquid extraction were 0.28 (v/v), 3(times), 30 min, and 40 min, respectively. The polar impurities from the biomass extraction were efficiently removed by liquid-liquid extraction. The complete concentration of liquid-liquid extract by rotary evaporator was reliable enough to obtain a high purity and yield of paclitaxel for subsequent purification steps.

To analyze the film cooling in a liquid rocket engine, it is necessary to understand the characteristics of the wall-impingement liquid film. We designed an optimal two-dimensional device for measuring the thickness of the liquid film thickness. This device quantitatively measures the liquid-film thickness distribution. In previous liquid-film thickness measuring devices, the liquid film was formed over the entire area of the sensor. However, its formation depended on injection conditions. To compensate for this, optimal resistors are selected. Additionally, saturation variations with partial saturation are analyzed. Furthermore, calibration using the enhanced plate method is conducted with improvements in spatial resolution. The device designed here can be used to analyze the properties of an impingement liquid film with a slit injector. This study can be used for film-cooling analysis in liquid rocket engines.

A theoretical method is developed to analyze the free vibration of an elastic annular plate in contact with an ideal liquid. The displacement potential functions of the contained liquid are expressed as a combination of the Bessel functions that satisfy the Laplace equation and the liquid boundary conditions. The compatibility condition along the interface between the annular plate and the contained liquid is taken into account to consider the fluid-structure coupling. The dynamic displacement of the wet annular plate is assumed to be a combination of dry eigenfunctions, allowing for prediction of the natural frequencies using the Rayleigh-Ritz method. The study investigates the effect of radial liquid boundary conditions on the natural frequencies of the wet annular plate, considering four types of liquid bounding: outer container bounded, outer and inner bounded, inner bounded, and radially unbounded. The proposed theoretical method is validated by comparing the predicted wet natural frequencies with those obtained from finite element analysis, showing excellent accuracy. The results indicate that the radial liquid bounding effect on the natural frequencies is negligible for the axisymmetric vibrational mode, but relatively significant for the mode with one nodal diameter (n =1) and no nodal circle (m' = 0). Furthermore, the study reveals that the wet natural frequencies are the largest for the plate with an inner bounded cylinder among the radial liquid boundary cases, regardless of the vibration mode.

For cultivation on sawdust-bed of oak-mushroom until present time, inoculation of spawn on sawdust bed has been performed by sawdust spawn. But, liquid spawn may have advantages for rapid mass production of spawn, and now, sawdust-cultivation by liquid spawn inoculation should be applied instead of sawdust spawn. Therefore, investigations were performed to evaluate the effect of sawdust-cultivation by liquid spawn inoculation. The results were as follows: 1. When 11 kinds of liquid media were applied, the oak-mushroom culture medium was the most excellent in growth. Most suitable temperature at PDA was $25^{\circ}C$, and $22.5\sim27.5^{\circ}C$ in range were optimal for liquid culture. In liquid culture, amount of mycelial growth increases rapidly up to 40 days of cultivation. Incubation at fermentor brought yield of 106mg dry mycelia per 40ml media after 17 days. 2. In 1l-spawn bottle, growth of mycelium by inoculation of 20ml-liquid spawns were faster than 6g-sawdust spawn in spread of mycelia. On 2kg-bag culture, inoculations of 10ml-, 20ml- and 30ml-liquid spawns were all slower than 20g-sawdust spawn in mycelial spread. So, amount increasement in ampunt of liquid spawn should be discussed. Yields of mushrooms until third sproutings of 2kg-bag culture were 580g in 30ml-liquid spawn inoculation, but 510g, 486g and 470g from 20g-sawdust spawn, 20ml-liquid spawn and 10ml-liquid spawn, respectively. Thus, 30ml-liquid spawn inoculation was highest in yield.

This study simplifies the phenomenological theory of viscosity previously proposed by the present authors. This simplified theory has only two thermodynamic properties and one parameter, as opposed to its predecessor, which has many, allowing for easy calculation of the liquid viscosities. The viscosity of liquid metals, an excellent test for checking the validity of the liquid theory, can be calculated using the equation based on the simplified theory. The calculated results by the current theory turn out to be good for the liquid metals, including sodium, potassium, rubbidium, cesium, lead and mercury.

A cryogenic liquid stored in the closed cryogenic tank has been studied at various liquid levels. The change of pressure, temperature, and liquid-vapor ratio in the tank depended on the liquid levels. The various phenomena were shown at different liquid levels as follows: (1) liquid level was increased with condensation of vapor: (2) liquid was vaporized in spite of liquid level going up for a certain initial period and then condensation of vapor occurred at higher pressure; (3) liquid was vaporized without liquid level change; (4) liquid was vaporized with liquid level decreasing. If the tank is full with cryogenic liquid, it is extremely dangerous because of soaring the pressure. Therefore the tank must be filled with $90\%$ liquid according to the safety rules. If the tank was filled with $0\%$ ullage, the pressure increment as high as 80bar during first 5 days. With $90\%$ liquid level, however, the pressure was increased as low as 1.5bar in the same period. No matter what the liquid level is, it is very dangerous if the tank is locked-up with filled cryogenic liquid for a long time.

Laser micromachining is a promising technique to fabricate the micro-scale devices. However, there remains important challenges to reducethe redeposition of ablated materials around the laser irradiated zone and to get a smooth surface, especially for metal and semiconductor materials. To achieve the high-quality micromachined devices, various methods have been developed. Liquid-assisted micromachining can be a good solution to overcome the previously mentioned problems. During the laser ablation process, the liquid around the solid sample dramatically changes the ablation characteristics, such as ablation rate, surface profile, formation of debris, and so on. In this investigation, we conducted the laser micromachining of Si in various liquid environmental conditions, such as liquid types, liquid thickness. In addition, using nanoscale time-resolved shadowgraphy technique, we observed the ablation process in liquid environments to understand the mechanism of liquid-assisted laser micromachining.

The effect of the liquid density difference on interface shape of a double-liquid lens is analyzed in detail. The expressions of interface shape of two liquids with liquid density difference are analyzed and fitted with “even asphere”. The imaging analysis of the aspheric interface shape of a double-liquid lens is presented. The results show that the density difference of two liquids can cause the interface to be an aspheric surface, which can improve the image quality of a double-liquid lens. The result provides a new selection for the related further research and a wider application field for liquid lenses.
