The extraction of ginseng saponins with near critical or supercritical ammonia(SCF-NH$_3$) was carried out at 80$^{\circ}C$-160$^{\circ}C$ and ammonia densities of 339.8-525 $mg/cm^3$. In order to evaluate brownish color of white ginseng extracts, a spetrophotometric method was applied in ultraviolet and visible range. The extractibilities of ginseonoside $Rb_1$, -$Rb_2$, -Rc, -Rd, -Re, -Rf, $-Rg_1$, and $-Rg_2$ were determined by high performance liquid choromatography. The best extractability was 7.36% at 133$^{\circ}C$ and 403 $\pm$ 24.605 $mg/cm^3$. In the case of the high extraction temperature, it is thought that extraction times can be reduced and the selectivity of protopanaxatriol can be increased. The brownish color of extracts is affected by temperature and extractability. When extraction temperature is between 132$^{\circ}C$ and 140$^{\circ}C$, it is shown that the range is the retrograde region where extractablility decrease with increasing temperature.

The geological CO2 sequestration in underground geological formation such as deep saline aquifers and depleted hydrocarbon reservoirs is one of the most promising options for reducing the atmospheric CO2 emissions. The process in geological CO2 sequestration involves injection of supercritical CO2 (scCO2) into porous media saturated with pore water and initiates CO2 flooding with immiscible displacement. The CO2 migration and distribution, and, consequently, the displacement efficiency is governed by the interaction of fluids. Especially, the viscous force and capillary force are controlled by geological formation conditions and injection conditions. This study aimed to estimate the effects of surfactant on interfacial tension between the immiscible fluids, scCO2 and porewater, under high pressure and high temperature conditions by using a pair of proxy fluids under standard conditions through pendant drop method. It also aimed to observe migration and distribution patterns of the immiscible fluids and estimate the effects of surfactant concentrations on the displacement efficiency of scCO2. Micromodel experiments were conducted by applying n-hexane and deionized water as proxy fluids for scCO2 and porewater. In order to quantitatively analyze the immiscible displacement phenomena by n-hexane injection in pore network, the images of migration and distribution pattern of the two fluids are acquired through a imaging system. The experimental results revealed that the addition of surfactants sharply reduces the interfacial tension between hexane and deionized water at low concentrations and approaches a constant value as the concentration increases. Also it was found that, by directly affecting the flow path of the flooding fluid at the pore scale in the porous medium, the surfactant showed the identical effect on the displacement efficiency of n-hexane at equilibrium state. The experimental observation results could provide important fundamental information on immiscible displacement of fluids in porous media and suggest the potential to improve the displacement efficiency of scCO2 by using surfactants.

The present study performs a test of a change in a condenser pressure on two kinds of power plants having different condenser pressure-heat rate correction curve and evaluates the results. According to a result of the test, it is confirmed that a sub-critical drum type steam power plant is optimally operated at the condenser pressure of 38㎜Hga that is designed, even during winters. On the other hand, it can be found that a supercritical once through type steam power plant operated at the condenser pressure that is reduced below a design value, that is, up to 28㎜Hga during winters is advantageous in view of turbine efficiency and is operated without a problem in facility operation such as moisture erosion, turbine vibration, etc. Also, the present study compares and reviews a condenser pressure-heat rate correction curve proposed by a manufacturer and a test value. The present study proposes optimum condenser operation pressure capable of concurrently satisfying the stable operation and efficiency improvement of the power plant facility that is operating, making it possible to support an efficient operation of a power plant.

The light-weight of the research and development materials is actively carried out by overseas automobile companies and technology development continues in Korea. For the sake of fuel efficiency, the development of lightweight technology by improving the manufacturing method has been very effective. Recently, to maximize the effects of light weight, automotive interior parts have been applied by the micro-cellular injection molding using supercritical fluids and we call the Mucell manufacturing. This technique causes a problem in the quality of the surface of the products, because the shooting cells are revealed as the surface layer of the products by forming micro cells at the center of the products during injection molding. To overcome these phenomenon, we increased the temperature of injection molding using joule heating until critical value. In this study, we have predicted the problem of Mucell injection molding through the finite element analysis as changed the temperature by joule heating. From the result of finite element analysis, we have determined the optimized process and made the injection mold included electric current heating system with Mucell manufacturing analyzed the surface characteristics of the injection product according to changing mold temperature.

Endothermic fuels are known as a probable fuel for hypersonic atmospheric flight vehicles and advanced propulsion systems, as well as cryogenic fuels. Especially, from the standpoint of the advanced regenerative cooling use, they are quite useful as a coolant fuel because of their large heat sink due to their chemical decompositions; so-called endothermic cooling effect. However, no heat transfer equations have been proposed taking into account such endothermic reactive behaviors concretely. This paper describes an analytical method for evaluation of the heat transfer rates between endothermic reacting coolant fuel and coolant-side wall in the regenerative cooling passages. Heat transfer mechanism is indicated based on a classical transport-phenomenological approach. A new relational expression of Nusselt number ratio for forcedconvective heat transfer with such endothermic reactions is also proposed by theoretical approaches using some classical hypotheses. Its applicability is assessed provisionally by comparison with confirmed results of heated tube tests for supercritical JP-7 fuel carried out at NASA Lewis Research Center, using its heat sink characteristics evaluated by United Technologies Research Center(UTRC). As a result, it has been suggested that the proposed relational equation is applicable to the evaluation of enhancement of Nusselt numbers due to such reactions in developed turbulent flows such as in the regenerative cooling passages.

Essential oils (EOs) extracted from plants possess various biological activities and have been considered as natural insecticides due to their potent insecticidal activities. In regard to develop natural insecticides, EOs are formulated as an emulsifiable concentrate and their acute toxicity against to fishes were determined in a static condition using Cyprinus carpio. Coriander EO was used as an active ingredient mixed with ethanol for solvent and various surface active agents. The tested EOs were obtained from a commercial market, and three different extractions were also undertaken to produce EO using steam distillation, solvent extraction, and supercritical fluid extraction. Among the emulsifiable concentrate including a commercial coriander EO, surface active agents such as Tween 80, sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS), and mixture of SDBS and Nonidet showed acute toxicity to the fish. With the three different EO extraction, coriander EO obtained from supercritical fluids with Triton X-100 exhibited acute toxicity to C. carpio. Taken together, Tetgitol and Nondet are considered as surface active agents for the emulsifiable formulation of coriander EO.

The viscous force of fluids and the capillary force acting on the pore network of the porous media are important factors determining the immiscible displacement during geological $CO_2$ sequestration, these were directly affected by geological formation conditions and injection conditions. This study aimed to observe the migration and distribution of injected fluid and pore water, and quantitatively investigate displacement efficiency on various injection temperatures. This study aimed to perform micromodel experiments by applying n-hexane used as a proxy fluid for supercritical $CO_2$. In this study, immiscible displacement process from beginning of n-hexane injection to equilibrium of the distribution of the n-hexane and pore water was observed. The images from experiment were used to observe the displacement pattern and estimate the areal displacment efficiency of the n-hexane. For investigate the affects of the injection temperatures on the migration in macroscopic, migration of n-hexane in single pore was analyzed. The measurement revealed that the displacement efficiency at equilibrium state decreases as the temperature increases. The result from experiments indicate that the temperatures can affect the displacement pattern by changing the viscous forces and the capillary forces. The experimental results could provide important fundamental information on reservoir conditions and fluid injection conditions during geological $CO_2$ sequestration.
