Separation with synthetic membrane have become increasingly important processes in many fields. In the most application of membrane process, polymer membrane is used. the main advantage of polymers as a material for membrane preparation is the relative simplicity of this film formation which enables one to obtain rather high permeability rates. However, polymeric membranes have several limitations, such as high temperature instability, swelling and decomposition in organic solvent, et. al.. These limitations can be overcome by inorganic membrane. At the present time, commercially available inorganic membranes have pore diameters ranging 5nm to 50mm, and the predominant flow regime in such membrane is Knudsen diffusion. Since the Knudsen permeability is directly proportional to the molecular velocity, gases can be separated due to their molecular masses. However, this separation mechanism is only of important for light gases such as H2 and He. Other separation mechanisms like surface diffusion, active diffusion can play an important role only with very small pore diameters(2nm) and give rise to large permselectivities. Therefore, preparation of inorganic membrane with nano-sized pore have been attracting more and more attention.

A numerical study of the mixing of two fluids(pure water and a solution of glycerol in water) in a microchannel was carried out. By varying the glycerol content of the glycerol/water solution, the variation in mixing behavior with changes in the difference of the properties of the two fluids(e.g., viscosity, density, diffusivity) was investigated. The mixing phenomena were tested for three micromixers: a square mixer, a three-dimensional serpentine mixer, and a staggered herringbone mixer. The governing equations of continuity, momentum and solute mass fraction were solved numerically. To evaluate mixing performance, a criterion index of mixing of mixing uniformity was proposed. In the systems considered, the Reynolds numbers based on averaged properties were 1 and 10. For low Reynolds number (Re = 1), the mixing performance varied inversely with mass fraction of glycerol due to the dominance of molecular diffusion. The mixing performance by diffusion deteriorated due to a significant reduction in the residence time of the fluid inside the mixers.

A steady-state molecular diffusion experiment was conducted to evaluate the water vapor proof properties of paper Handsheets prepared from unbleached Itraft pulps(UKP) and old newspapers(ONP) and four different types of polymer-laminated white duplex board were tested under appropriate standard conditions. The diffusivity was determined on the basis of the Fickean first law. Results obtained from this study can be summarized as follows ; 1. The diffusivity data for handsheets showed about $10^{-5}cm^2/min$. whereas polymer-laminated paperboards had remarkably improved water-vapor resistance with about $10^3 to 10^4$ times lower diffusivity : 2. Sheet basis weight, wet-swelling and sizing degree had little influence on the diffusivity of paper; 3 Linear relationship existed between sheet density and diffusivity, and, 4. Highly sfgnificant linear relationship could be observed between diffusivity and Darcy s gas permeability. Results indicate that diffusivity, an intrinsic property of paper, can provide a valuable information for precise evaluation and improved quality control of water-vapor proof properties of paper.

The differential diffusion of two species in jet is considered. The direct photo images of $H_{2}/SF_{6}$ flame are taken and the non-react jets of $H_{2}/SF_{6}$ mixture are visualized with Rayleigh scattering method. The structures of Dual flame are found in the photography. As the volume fraction of $H_2$ in mixture is increased, the flame at side is long and as the volume fraction of $SF_{6}$ in mixture is increased, the flame at center is long. This phenomena are deduced from the non-react mixture using Rayleigh scattering method. Result show that the volume fraction in the mixture is important in differential diffusion.

We investigated the effects of n-alkanols on the range and rate of the lateral diffusion of 1, 3-di(1-pyrenyl)propane in the model membranes of total phospholipid fraction extracted from synaptosomal plasma membrane vesicles. n-Akanols increased the range and rate of the lateral diffusion of 1, 3-di(1-pyrenyl)propane in the bulk model membrane structures (inner + outer monolayers) and the potencies of n-alknols up to 1-nonanol increased by 1 order of magnitude as the carbon chain length increases by two carbon atoms. The cut-off phenomenon was reached at 1-decanol, where further icnrease in hydrocarbon length resulted in a decrease in the lateral diffusion. However, significant changes in the 1'/1 value were not observed by methanol (from 100 to 2500 mM), ethanol (from 25 to 800 mM), and 1-propanol (from 10 to 250 mM) over entire concentration.

A formulation is proposed for modelling the process of intra-granular diffusion of fission gas during irradiation of $UO_2$ under both normal operating conditions and power transients. The concept represents a simple extension of the formulation of Speight, including an estimation of the contribution of bubble motion to fission gas diffusion. The resulting equation is formally identical to the diffusion equation adopted in most models that are based on the formulation of Speight, therefore retaining the advantages in terms of simplicity of the mathematical-numerical treatment and allowing application in integral fuel performance codes. The development of the new model proposed here relies on results obtained by means of molecular dynamics simulations as well as finite element computations. The formulation is proposed for incorporation in the TRANSURANUS fuel performance code.

[Ru(2,2'-bipyridine)$_2$(4,4'-dicarboxy-2,2'-bipyridine)]$^{2+}$(RuBDc) is a very photostable probe that possesses favorable photophysical properties including long lifetime, high quantum yield, large Stokes' shift, and highly polarized emission. To evaluate the usefulness of this luminophore (RuBDc) for studying macromolecular dynamics, its intensity and anisotropy decays when conjugated to RNA bacteriophage MS2 were examined using frequency-domain fluorometry with a high-intensity, blue light-emitting diode (LED) as the modulated light source. The intensity decays were best fit by a sum of two exponentials, and the mean intensity decay time was 442.2 ns. The anisotropy decay data showed a single rotational correlation time (2334.9 ns), which is typical for a spherical molecule. The use of RuBDc enabled us to measure the rotational correlation time up to several microseconds. These results indicate that RuBDc can be useful for studying rotational diffusion of biological macromolecules.s.

공기로 붜 산소와 질소의 분리, C$_1$-화학공정중의 부산물 가스분리등은 많은 에너지를 필요로 하는 화학공정이다. 이런 에너지 집약적 분리공정에서는 에너지효율을 높이기 위하여 막분리공정의 적용을 고려할 수 있다. 막분리에 적용되는 기체분리막은 분리의 원리에 따라 (a)knudsen flow separation, (b)Molecular sieving separation, (c) Solution-diffusion separation 등으로 나눠진다. 이중 molecular sieving membrane (공경: <7${\AA}$)은 solution-diffusion막보다 높은 투과도와 선택도를 갖기 때문에 최근에 들어 높은 관심을 받고 있다. 그러나 장기성능저하, fouling제거, 제조방법상의 문제점에 대한 해결이 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 폴리이미드를 열분해법을 이용하여 탄화시켜 탄소분자체막을 제조하였고 막제조시에 발생하는 기계적 강도약화를 해결하기 위한 고찰을 행하였다.

Doped ceria의 전기전도도는 도핑 원소의 종류와 양에 큰 의존성을 가지고 특정 조성에서 최대 전도도 값을 가지며 높은 dopant 농도에서는 전기전도도는 감소한다. 이런 현상은 dopant와 산소 빈자리 사이의 회합 형성과 관련이 있다고 알려져 있다. 그러나 Gd 이온이 도핑된 ceria의 경우 주된 회합종이 (2G $d_{Ce}$ $V_{o}$ )인지 (G $e_{Ce}$ $V_{o}$ ) 인지는 명확하게 알려져 있지 않다. 본 연구에서는 회합분포가 전기전도도에 미치는 영향을 연구하기 위해 결함의 회합종과 분포가 다른 3가지 경우에 대해서 시뮬레이션을 행하였다. 분자동력학법을 이용하여 다양한 온도와 다른 회합분포의 경우에 대해 산소 확산계수가 계산되어졌으며, 계산된 산소 확산계수는 실험적으로 결정된 bulk 전도도로부터 얻어진 산소 확산계수와 비교되어졌다. 그 결과 (2G $d_{Ce}$ $V_{o}$ )와 (G $e_{Ce}$ $V_{o}$ ) 회합이 공존하며 이들이 통계학적으로 이항 분포를 가지는 경우가 실험적으로 보고된 값과 가장 일치하는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

With the steady depletion off fossil fuel reserves, hydrogen based energy sources become increasingly attractive. Therefore hydrogen production or separation technologies, such as Bas separation membrane based on adsorption technology, have received enormous attention in the industrial and academic fields. In this study, the transport mechanisms of the MTES (methyltriethoxysilane) templating silica/a-alumina composite membrane were evaluated by using unary, binary and quaternary hydrogen gas mixtures permeation experiments at unsteady- and steady-states. Since the permeation flux in the MTES membrane, through the experimental and theoretical study, was affected by molecular sieving effects as well as surface diffusion properties, the kinetic and equilibrium separation should be considered simultaneously in the membrane 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 Bas model) were adapted to unsteady-state material balance
