The conformational transition of oligopeptide multimer,-(HPPHPPP)n-, is studied (H:hydrophobic amino acid, P:hydrophilic amino acid). The helix/coil transitions are detected in the multimer. The transition depends on the number of amino acid in the sequence, the concentration of the oligopeptide, and temperature which affects helix stability constant (${\xi}$) and hydrophobic interaction parameter (wj). In the thermodynamic equilibrium system jA${\rightarrow}$Aj (where A stands for oligopeptide monomer), Skolnick et al., explained helix/coil transition of dimer by the matrix method using Zimm-Bragg parameters ${\xi}$ and $\sigma$ (helix initiation constant). But the matrix method do not fully explain dangling H-bond effects which are important in oligopeptide systems. In this study we propose a general theory of conformational transitions of oligopeptides in which dimer, trimer, or higher multimer coexists. The partition of trimer is derived by using zipper model which account for dangling H-bond effects. The transitions of multimers which have cross-linked S-S bonds or long chains do not occur, because they keep always helical structures. The transitions due to the concentration of the oligopeptides are steeper than those due to the chain length or temperature.

본 연구에서는 입상 활성탄($8{\times}30mesh$, $1,578m^2/g$)을 사용하여 quinoline yellow 염료를 흡착하는데 필요한 흡착평형과 흡착동역학 및 열역학에 대하여 조사하였다. 등온흡착평형관계를 검토한 결과, 평가된 Langmuir 식의 상수($R_L=0.0730{\sim}0.0854$)와 Freundlich 식의 상수(1/n = 0.2077~0.2268)로부터 입상 활성탄에 의해 quinoline yellow를 적절하게 흡착처리 할 수 있음을 알았고, Temkin 식의 상수(B = 15.759~21.014 J/mol)와 Dubinin-Radushkevich 식의 상수(E = 1.0508~1.1514 kJ/mol)로부터 흡착공정이 물리흡착공정임을 알았다. 흡착공정에 대한 동력학적 해석을 통해 반응속도식의 적용결과는 유사이차반응속도식이 유사일차반응속도식에 비해 일치도가 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 흡착공정은 입자내세공확산과 표면확산의 두단계로 진행됨을 알았다. 유사이차반응속도식을 적용한 열역학적 해석을 통해 평가된 엔탈피 변화값(+35.03 kJ/mol)과 활성화에너지값(+35.137 kJ/mol)으로부터 흡착공정이 흡열반응으로 진행됨을 알았다. 또한 엔트로피 변화값(+134.38 J/mol K)은 흡착공정의 무질서도가 증가한다는 것을 나타내었고, 온도가 올라갈수록 자유에너지값이 감소하는 경향을 보인 것은 활성탄에 대한 quinoline yellow의 흡착반응은 온도가 올라갈수록 자발성이 높아지는 것으로 판단되었다.

수용액으로부터 활성탄에 대한 아닐린 블루의 흡착 평형, 동역학 및 열역학적 특성을 초기농도, 접촉시간과 온도를 흡착변수로 하여 조사하였다. 아닐린 블루의 등온흡착은 Langmuir, Freundlich, Redlich-Peterson, Temkin 및 Dubinin-Radushkevich 모델을 통해 해석하였다. Langmuir 모델이 다른 모델들 보다 등온 데이터에 더 잘 맞았다. 평가된 Langmuir 분리계수($R_L=0.036{\sim}0.068$)는 활성탄에 의한 아닐린 블루의 흡착 공정이 효과적인 처리방법이 될 수 있음을 나타냈다. 흡착속도상수는 유사일차속도 모델, 유사이차속도 모델 및 입자내 확산 모델에 적용하여 구하였다. 활성탄에 대한 아닐린 블루의 흡착속도실험 결과는 유사이차 반응속도식에 잘 따랐다. 흡착 메카니즘은 입자내 확산 모델에 의해 경막 확산과 입자내 확산의 두 단계로 평가되었다. 흡착공정에 대한 깁스 자유에너지, 엔탈피 및 엔트로피 변화와 같은 열역학 파라미터들이 평가되었다. 엔탈피 변화(48.49 kJ/mol)은 흡착공정이 물리흡착이고 흡열반응임을 알려주었다. 깁스 자유 에너지는 온도가 올라갈수록 감소하였기 때문에 흡착반응은 온도가 올라갈수록 자발성이 더 높아졌다. 등량흡착열은 흡착제 표면의 에너지 불균일성 때문에 흡착제와 흡착질 사이에 상호작용이 있음을 나타내었다.

A simple aerodynamic calculation program for high Mach number flow is developed by combining the modified Newtonian method with Tannehill's curve fits for the thermodynamic properties of air in equilibrium state. Aerodynamic characteristics for a parabolic nose are predicted and compared with CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) analysis results. Comparison shows good agreements, and the developed program is expected to be a practical tool for slender body aerodynamic calculation for high Mach number flow.

In the present study Sisal fiber obtained from the leaves of Agave sisalana has been chosen to validate its viability as an adsorbent for the removal of Nickel from aqueous solutions. The material was also surface modified and its effect on adsorption of Nickel was also studied. Agave sisalana fiber was found to be a cheap and effective adsorbent doing away with the need to activate the material therby reducing processing cost. The equilibrium studies indicated that the adsorption capacity of raw fiber and the surface modified fiber was 8.66 and 9.77 mg/g respectively with the Langmuir isotherm describing the adsorption phenomena better than the Freundlich and Temkin isotherm. The adsorption was found to be exothermic from the thermodynamic studies and the kinetics showed that the adsorption phenomena were second order.

A molecular-thermodynamic model is developed for the salt-induced protein precipitation. The protein molecules interact through four intermolecular potentials. An equation of state is derived based on the statistical mechanical perturbation theory with the modified Chiew's equation for the fluid phase, Young's equation for the solid phase as the reference system and a perturbation based on the protein-protein effective two body potential. The equation of state provides an expression for the chemical potential of the protein. In a single protein system, the phase separation is represented by fluid-fluid equilibria. The precipitation behaviors are simulated with the partition coefficient at various salt concentrations and degree of pre-aggregation effect for the protein particles. In a binary protein system, we regard the system as a fluid-solid phase equilibrium. At equilibrium, we compute the reduced osmotic pressure-composition diagram in the diverse protein size difference and salt concentrations.

A method for calculating the main characteristics of a potentiometric titration curve in a carboxylic ion exchanger has been investigated. The potentiometric titration curves of simple electrolyte and ion exchangers (polyelectrolytes) showed a great difference between them. The acidity parameters of the ion exchangers, the thermodynamic constant (pK0), apparent equilibrium constant (K), and correction for the apparent equilibrium constant (b), were introduced and used to express the characteristics of the carboxylic ion exchanger. A characteristic equation related to the acidity parameters of the ion exchangers systems was derived. A fibrous carboxylic cation exchanger was used and potentiometric titration curves at different concentrations of the supporting electrolyte were obtained . To prove the validity of the characteristic equation, the concentration of the supporting electroyte was varied. In the present study, good agreement between the data points and the fitted curves was found in all the cases. The g (number of moles of alkali to 1 g of ion exchanger) of carboxylic ion exchanger was calculated from the concentration of supporting electrolyte (C), pH of the solution, and degree of neutralization of ion exchanger (x).

Equilibrium concentrations of major elements in an underground repository with a capacity of 100,000 drums have been simulated using the geochemical computer code (EQMOD). The simulation has been carried out at the conditions of pH 12 to 13.5, and Eh 520 and -520 mV. Solubilities of magnesium and calcium decrease with the increase of pH. The solubility of iron increases with pH at Eh -520 mV of reducing environment while it almost entirely exists as the precipitate of Fe(OH)$_3$(s) at Eh 520 mV of oxidizing environment. All of cobalt and nickel are predicted to be dissolved in the liquid phase regardless of pH since the solubility limit is greater than the total concentration. In the case of cesium and strontium, all forms of both ions are present in the liquid phase because they have negligible sorption capacity on cement and large solubility under disposal atmosphere. And thus the total concentration determines the equilibrium concentration. Adsorbed amount of iodide and carbonate are dependent on adsorption capacity and adsorption equilibrium constant. Especially, the calcite turns out to be a solubility-limiting phase on the carbonate system. In order to validate the model, the equilibrium concentrations measured for a number of systems which consist of iron, cement, synthetic groundwater and radionuclides are compared with those predicted by the model. The concentrations between the model and the experiment of nonadsorptive elements cesium, strontium, cobalt nickel and iron, are well agreed. It indicates that the assumptions and the thermodynamic data in this work are valid. Using the adsorption equilibrium constant as a free parameter, the experimental data of iodide and carbonate have been fitted to the model. The model is in a good agreement with the experimental data of the iodide system.
