So far, most of research activities on modeling of membrane separation processes have been focused on binary feed mixture. But, in actual separation operations, binary feed is hard to find and most separation processes involve multicomponent feed mixture. In this work models for membrane separation processes treating multicomponent feed mixture are developed. Various model types are investigated and validity of proposed models are analysed based on experimental data obtained using hollowfiber membranes. The proposed separation models show quick convergence and exhibit good tracking performance.

Continuous thermodynamics has been applied for modeling of phase equilibria in multicomponent mixtures, to avoid disadvantages of the pseudo-component and key-component method. In this paper continuous thermodynamic relations formulated by using the Pate-Teja equation of state were adopted for calculations of phase equilibria in natural gas mixtures, crude oil mixtures and mixtures extracted by supercritical $CO_2$ fluids. Calculations of phase equilibria were performed by two procedures ; a moment method coupled with the beta distribution function and a quadrature method combined with Gaussian-Legendre polynomials. Calculated results were compared with experimental data. It was showed that continuous thermodynamic frameworks considered in this paper were well-matched to experimental data.

Most oil and gas reservoirs, which have some light hydrocarbon components, show sensitive phase behavior in response to changes in the composition of the internal fluid. When evaluating and developing plans for oil and gas fields, flash calculation, PVT analysis, and saturation-property calculation are necessary for analyzing reservoir characteristics and pipeline flows. In general, the determination of saturation properties such as dew point and bubble point is considered a difficult task because of the poor convergence of the calculation methods. In this study, several new initial-value-guessing methods and root-finding methods are proposed; parametric analysis were carried out to verify the improvement in convergence. Finally, these new ideas and methods were successfully applied to the new GUI based multi-phase behavior simulator.

Independent component analysis (ICA) is a statistical method for transforming an observed high-dimensional multivariate data into statistically independent components. ICA has been applied increasingly in wide fields of spectrum application since ICA is able to extract unknown components of a mixture from spectra. We focus on application of ICA for separating independent sources and predicting each composition using extracted components. The theory of ICA is introduced and an application to a metal surface spectra data will be described, where subsequent analysis using non-negative least square method is performed to predict composition ratio of each sample. Furthermore, some simulation experiments are performed to demonstrate the performance of the proposed approach.

The objective of this study was to depict the kinetic behavior of the platinum catalyst for the deep oxidation of VOCs and their mixture. The oxidation characteristics of VOCs, which were benzene, toluene, and styrene, was studies on a 0.5% $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalyst. The reactivity increases in order benzene>toluene>styrene. In mixtures, remarkable effects on reaction rate and selectivity have been evident ; the strongest inhibiting effect was shown by styrene and increases in a reverse order with respect to that of reactivity. The reaction model reveals that there is a competition between the two reactants for the oxidized catalyst. Thus, the nontoxic catalytic oxidation process was suggested as the new VOCs control technology.

We review SAFT equation of state (EOS) which is based on TPT theory and statistical-mechanical principles, and confirm that it can be used as a useful tool to predict vapor-liquid phase equilibria of associating fluid mixtures. We examine theoretical structure of PC-SAFT EOS in great detail, and then assess the applicability and performance of the EOS while applying it to various mixtures containing nonpolar components, polar components and associating components in a stage-wise manner. In contrast to the conventional engineering EOS, PC-SAFT EOS can accurately predict nonideal behaviors of those mixtures without using semi-empirical binary interaction parameter. This is because the SAFT theory is based on a rigorous theoretical framework at molecular level which effectively accounts for various intermolecular interactions, and it thus provides substantial benefits in applying the SAFT EOS to complex thermodynamic phenomena of multi-component mixtures.

장비와 cutting기술의 발전으로, 높은 효율성을 지닌 어려운 작업 재료들의 고속 건조 가공기술은 생산성, 가격 인하 그리고 환경적인 관점에서 중요성이 증가하게 되었다. AlTiN에서 Si의 첨가는 40GPa이상의 고경도와 1000도 이상의 산화온도를 지닌 나노혼합물 코팅을 형성시키는 것으로 알려졌다. 또한 Si가 아닌 다른 soft 물질을 첨가하고 3성분 이상의 다성분계 박막을 형성하는 실험을 하여, 물성이 어떻게 달라지는지 확인하였다. 특히, 나노 코팅층 형성이 매우 어려운 Al-Ti-N 합금계에서 Si, Cu 첨가의 영향 및 이러한 코팅층 형성을 단일합금을 이용하여 행하였을 때, 장점을 확인하였다. 이러한 연구를 위하여 Ti-Al의 합금 조성을 경도가 가장 우수한 것으로 알려진 50 : 50으로 하여 타겟을 만들고 증착시켜 기초실험을 진행하여 물성조건을 확인하고 이에 근거하여 실험을 진행하였다. 또한 3 원계 합금으로서 Cu, Si를 첨가한 연구를 수행하였다. 또한, 최적 조성의 합금 조성을 확인한 후, 단일 합금 타겟을 제조하였으며 이를 이용하여 형성된 코팅층과 다성분계 타겟을 이용한 박막의 물성을 비교하였다. 증착된 박막의 분석장비로는 SEM, EDS, XRD 와 AFM등을 이용하였으며, 막의 조직과 증착 두께, 조도 그리고 경도를 확인하고 막의 물성 특성이 향상됨을 입증하였다.
