The removal mechanism of air borne methyl iodide by triethylenediamine (TEDA) impregnated charcoal bed was investigated. The analysis of experimental data indicates that pore diffusion is the rate controlling step when the air velocity is over 20cm/sec, and both fore diffusion resistance and external mass transfer resistance are contributed to the overall resistance when the air velocity is 10cm/sec. The adsorption model to describe the performance of impregnated charcoal bed under dry condition where water vapors do not exist in air, is proposed. The calculated values and experimental results are well matched.

Detonation limit is one of the major physical properties used to determine the fire and explosion hazards of the flammable substances. In this study, the lower detonation limits (LDL) and the upper detonation limits (UDL) of the flammable substances predicted with the appropriate use of the heat of combustion and the stoichiometric coefficient. The values calculated by the proposed equations were a good agreement with literature data within a few percent. From a given results, It is to be hoped that this methodology will contribute to the estimation of the detonation limits of for other flammable substances.

The rugate porous silicons containing multiple photonic band gaps have been generated by applying a composite waveform summed three computer-generated pseudo-sinusoidal current waveforms and exhibit three sharp photonic band gaps in the optical reflectivity spectrum. Generated multiple rugate porous silicons display three rugate peaks corresponding to the each of the sine components varied from 0.42, 0.36, and 0.30 Hz, with a spacing of 0.06 Hz between each sine component. The resulting rugate PSi films have been removed from the silicon substrate by applying an lift-off current and are then made into particles by ultrasono-method in a organic solution. The sensing experiments using these particles for organic solvents such as toluene, hexane, acetone, and methanol have been achieved. Condensing of organic vapors in the pores increases the refractive indices of entire particle which results a red shift in the photonic peaks.

In this work, the effects of substrate on the formation of YBaCuO by CVD were investigated by observing the microstructure and the crystallographic orientation and by measuring the temperature dependence of electrical resistance. Source materials used to synthesize the YBaCuO superconducting film were beta-diketone chelates of Y, Ba and Cu. These chelates were evaporated at $137-264^{\circ}C$. The source vapors of Y, Ba and Cu were transported into hot zone by using Ar gas and $O_2$ gas was introduced separately.

Evaporative emissions from gasoline powered vehicles continue to be a major concern. The performance of carbon canister in evaporative emission control systems has become an important aspect of overall fuel system development and design. A vehicle's evaporative emission control system is continuously working, even when the vehicle is not running, due to generation of vapors from the fuel tank during ambient temperature variations. In this study, the effects of evaporative emissions on the engine performance were investigated. The experimental results show the effectiveness of this system for future exhaust emissions and enhanced evaporative emissions. This paper discusses the evaluation on the relationship between carbon canister condition and engine performance while engine is running.

Vaporization, ignition and combustion of fuel droplets in tandem array are theoretically investigated to understand the droplet interactions in combustors. Including the effects of density variation in gas-phase, internal circulation and transient liquid heating, a numerical studies are performed by changing parameters such as initial droplet temperatures, initial droplet spacings, initial Reynolds numbers, surrounding gas temperatures, and activation energies of fuel vapors. Combustion regime maps classify the droplet combustion phenomena according to the configuration and location of the flame with respect to injection Reynolds numbers and surrounding gas temperatures. In addition, it is shown that the dynamic histories of droplets and ignition delay times are dependent on droplet size ratios and initial spacings of tandem droplets.

Activated carbons are well known as adsorbents for gases and vapors. Micro porous carbons are used for the sorption/separation of light gases, whereas, carbon with bigger pore size are applied for removal of large molecules. Therefore, the control of pore size of activated carbon plays a vital role for their use in specific applications. In the present work, steam activation parameters have been varied to control pore size of the resulting activated carbon. It was found that flow rate of steam has profound effect on both surface characteristic and surface morphology. The flow rate of steam was optimized to retain monolith structure as well as higher surface area.

This study was conducted from January to December in Kwang-ju city, 1999. Calculated methods were studied by emission factors in each industrial species. The results was that total emission rate of VOC was calculated at a mount of 12305 ton/year as coating(49.4) > vehicles(27.4) > gasoline vapors(6.1) > petroleum refineries(5.6) > graphic arts(4.4) > road covering(4.1) > dry cleang(3.0%) respectively. In vehicles emission rate, passenger car and taxi were about 2,700 ton/yr(60%) of total vehicle emission(3,300 ton/yr). The amount of building emission rate was about 1,900 ton/yr(30%) of total coating emission 6,083 ton/yr.

In this work, porous silicon(PS) layer is used as a sensing material to detect organic gases. To do this, PS sensors with membrane structure are fabricated. The sensors were made by applying the technologies of membrane formation by anisotropic etching of silicon, and PS layer formation by anodization in HF solution. From fabricated sensors, current-voltage (I-V) curves were measured against ethanol (called alcohol), methanol and acetone gases evaporated from 0.1 to 0.5% solution concentrations at $36^{\circ}C$. As the result, all curves showed rectifying behavior due to a diode structure between Si and PS, and the conductance of sensor devices increased largely with the organic solution concentration at high voltage of 5V.

The paper highlights technical advances and introduces recent innovations such as smart curing laminating adhesives for flexible packaging with low migration rates of aromatic isocyanates and amines. Latent reactive one-part systems on the basis of surface deactivated solid isocyanates open up new dimensions for heat setting adhesives and waterborne PU dispersions. The new generation of Purmelt Micro Emission adhesives contains less than 0.1% of MDI monomer, thereby drastically reducing the emission of hazardous isocyanate vapors during processing and setting a significantly improved technical standard in occupational safety. Once again, polyurethane adhesives have demonstrated their unique ability to adapt to new process, product, safety and environmental requirements.
