This study investigated the condensation heat transfer coefficients of R-22, R-290 and R-600a inside horizontal tube. Heat transfer measurements were peformed for smooth tube with outside diameter of 12.7 mm Condensation temperatures and mass velocity were ranged from 308 K to 323 K and $51kg/\textrm{m}^2s$s to $250kg/\textrm{m}^2s$, respectively. The test results showed that the local condensation heat transfer coefficients increased as the mass flux increased, and also the effects of mass velocity on heat transfer coefficients of R-290 and R-600a were less than R-22. Average condensation heat transfer coefficients of natural refrigerants were superior to that of R-22. The present results had a good agreement with Haraguchi's correlation.

It is very important to select suspension solution for forming electrophoretic deposited YBCO thick mm, because it is heavily affected to its superconducting properties. In this paper, high-temperature superconductor films of $YBa_{2}Cu_{3}O_{7-x}$ were fabricated by electrophoretic deposition (EPD) from alcohol-based suspension such as iso-propanol, iso-butanol, and their mixture. For the formation of YBCO dense and adherent coating on a silver wire by EPD, 1 % PEG(1000) 2 ml, as a additive for making their surface crack-free, was used for electrophoresis. As a results, the cracks were considerably decreased and the superconducting critical current density $(J_e)$ without/with PEG was $1200A/cm^2$ and $2020A/cm^2$, which films deposited in mix iso-propanol and iso-butanol suspension.

대형디젤엔진의 대체용으로 LPG 엔진을 개발함에 있어서 차세대 연료공급방식인 LPG 연료의 액상분사방식을 채택하여 기존의 믹서방식의 연료공급시스템을 가진 LPG 엔진보다 고출력, 고효율, 저공해성을 추구하고자 하였다. 이를 위한 기초연구로서 먼저 단기통 연소엔진을 이용하여 대형엔진에 LPG 연료 적용 가능성, 액상분사 시스템을 포함한 여러 가지 연료공급방식에 따른 엔진의 성능파악, 대형엔진에 적합한 최적 선회비의 결정, 연료조성에 따른 엔진성능의 변화 등을 알아보았다. 실험결과, 대형엔진에 LPG 연료의 적용은 아무런 문제점이 없었으며 LPi 연료공급방식은 다른 방식에 비해서 10%정도의 체적효율 및 출력의 증가를 확인할 수 있었다. 최적의 선회비는 2.0 부근에서 형성되었고, 연료 조성은 프로판 대 부탄의 비율이 60 : 40에서도 정상적으로 운전됨을 확인하였다. 시제품 엔진의 경우, 과급방식의 KL6i 엔진을 개발하기 앞서 좀더 기술적 접근이 용이한 자연흡입방식의 K-1엔진의 개발이 선행되었으며 현재 개발 진행중인 K-1엔진의 성능평가 결과, 기존의 디젤엔진에 비해 출력성능이 20% 정도 향상됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 특히 대형차량에서 중요시 생각되는 저속토크 성능이 매우 우수한 것으로 파악되었다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 단기통 연소엔진에서 확인된 최적화된 연료조성과 선회비를 향후 K-1엔진에 적용할 예정이다. 최근 열린 가스학회 추계발표회와 LPG자동차세미나의 주요내용을 게재한다.

High pressure phase behavior data for poly(propyl acrylate) and poly(propyl methacrylate) with supercritical $CO_2$, ethylene, propane, butane, propylene, 1-butene, dimethyl ether, and $CHClF_2$ were measured in the temperature range from $23^{\circ}C$ to $186^{\circ}C$ and at pressures up to 2,400 bar. The cloud point were obtained at dissolved pressure below 2,070, 1,400, 1,880, 450, 2,200, 250, and 150 bar for poly(propyl acrylate) in supercritical $CO_2$, ethylene, propane, propylene, butane, 1-buthen, and dimethyl ether, respectively. The temperature range is $23-175^{\circ}C$. The poly(propyl methacrylate) does not dissolve in $CO_2$ at temperature of $240^{\circ}C$ and pressure 2,900 bar. The poly(propyl methacrylate)-propane, poly(propyl methacrylate)-butane, poly(propyl methacrylate)-propylene, poly(propyl methacrylate)-1-butene, and poly(propyl methacrylate)-$CHClF_2$ systems were dissolved at the pressures less than 2,390 bar, below 2,100 bar, below 570 bar, below 310 bar, below 300 bar, and below 170 bar, respectively. The temperature range shows from 40 to $186^{\circ}C$. The phase behavior of between binary poly(propyl acrylate)-$CO_2$ and poly(propyl acrylate)-dimethyl ether system were measured from upper critical solution temperature region to lower critical solution temperature region with added dimethyl ether concentrations of 5, 15 and 50 wt%.

Cloud-point data at $230^{\circ}C$ and 1,800 bar are presented for two poly(ethylene-co-vinyl alcohol)(PEVA) copolymers[9.9mol% and 17.8mol% vinyl alcohol(VA)] in ethylene, propane, propylene, n-butane, 1-butene, dimethyl ether(DME), and chlorodifluromethane(CDFM). The static type experimental apparatus with a view cell has been used for the experiment at the high pressure and temperature. The pressure-temperature (P-T) loops of PEVA(9.9mol% VA) copolymer-DME mixtures are presented at copolymer concentrations of 1.4wt% to 20.0wt%. Also, we presented the phase behavior of PEVA(17.8mol% VA) copolymer-DME system at copolymer concentration of 1.9wt% to 6.8wt%. The cloud-point curves for the PEVA copolymers in dimethyl ether showed single phase above 480 bar as a result of the hydrogen bonding between the vinyl alcohol unit and dimethyl ether. The pressure-concentration(P-x) isotherm loops of PEVA(9.9mol% and 17.8mol% VA)-DME system are obtained. The cloud-point curves for PEVA(9.9mol% and 17.8 mol% VA) copolymers andthe ethylene, propane, propylene, n-butane, 1-butene, and CDFM all show negative slopes of phase behavior and are located at pressures below 1,800 bar. For PEVA copolymer-DME system(9.9mol% VA), cloud-point curves show positive slopes that decrease in pressures with decrease in temperature in the temperature range of $80^{\circ}C$ to $160^{\circ}C$.

This paper examined the conversion of methane to hydrogen and other higher hydrocarbons using dielectric barrier discharge with AC pulse power. Two metal electrodes of a coaxial-type plasma reactor were separated by gas gap and an alumina tube. The inner electrode was located inside the alumina tube. The alumina tube was located inside the stainless steel tube, which was used as the outer electrode. Effect of feed gas composition (methane, oxygen, argon, water and helium), flow rate, applied frequency, input volt-age on methane conversion and product distribution were studied. The major products of plasma chemical reactions were ethylene, ethane, propane, buthane, hydrogen, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. The increment of applied voltage and the usage of inert gas as the background (helium and argon) enhanced the selectivity of hydrocarbons and methane conversion. The addition of water in the feed stream enhanced the conversion of methane and yield of hydrogen. Higher voltage leads to higher yield of $C_2H_6,\;C_3H_8,\;C_4H_{10}$ and yield or $C_2H_2\;and\;C_2H_4$ appeared highly in lower voltage.

A gas-substrate degrading bacterium, Nocardia SW3, was isolated from the gasoline contaminated aquifer using propane and butane as carbon and energy sources. We have examined the effects of substrate concentration, temperature and pH on the gas substrate degradation as well as MTBE cometabolic degradation. The result for the effect of substrate concentration showed that the maximum degradation rates of propane and butane were 30.6 and 25.4 (n㏖/min/mg protein) at 70 $\mu$㏖, respectively. The optimum temperature and pH for the degradation of gas substrate were $30^{\circ}C$ and 7, respectively. Substrate degradation activity, however, was still active in broad range of pH from 5 to 8 and temperature between $15^{\circ}C$and$35^{\circ}C$. The degradation activity of Nocardia SW3 for the MTBE was similar to the both substrates. The observed maximal transformation yields ($T_y$) were 46.7 and 35.0 (n㏖ MTBE degraded $\mu$㏖ substrate utilized), and the maximal transformation capacities ($T_c$) were 320 and 280 (n㏖MTBE degraded/mg biomass used) for propane and butane oxidizing activity on MTBE, respectively. And also, TBA was detected as by-product of MTBE and it was continuously degraded further.

The critical micelle concentration(CMC) and the counterion binding $constant(\beta)$ at the CMC of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide(CTAB) in a series of aqueous solutions containing medium chain-length n-alcohols(Propanol, Butanol, Pentanol and Hexanol) have been determined from the concentration dependence of electrical conductance at serveral temperature from $17^{\circ}C\;to\;41^{\circ}C.$ Thermodynamic parameters $({\Delta}G^o_m,\;{\Delta}H^o_m,\;{\Delta}S^o_m,\;and\;{\Delta}C_p)$ associated with micelle formation of CTAB have been also estimated from the temperature dependence of CMC and $\beta$ values, and the significance of these parameters and their relation to the theory of micelle formation have been considered. The results show that an enthalpy-entropy compensation effect is usually observed for the micellization of CTAB. The effects of n-alcohols on the micellar properties (CMC and $\beta$) of CTAB solutions have been also investigated. The addition of n-alcohol to the CTAB solution in a small quantity decreases the CMC value and the counterion binding constant $(\beta)$ at the CMC, but the addition of n-alcohol in an excessive quantity increases the CMC values on the conterary. These results have been explained in terms of the effect of the micelle-solubilized alcohol on the micellar surface charge density.

In this study, exergy analysis of a thermally activated refrigeration cycle, a combined organic Rankine cycle (ORC), and a vapor compression cycle (VCC) were conducted. It is considered that a system uses a low-temperature heat source in the form of sensible heat, such as various renewable energy sources or waste heat from industries, and one of eight working fluids: R143a, R22, R134a, propane, isobutane, butane, R245fa, or R123. The effects of turbine inlet pressure and the working fluid selected on the exergy destructions (anergies) at various system components as well as the COP and exergy efficiency of the system were analyzed and discussed. The results show that the component of the greatest exergy destruction in the system varies sensitively with the turbine inlet pressure and/or working fluid.
