The aim of this study is to find out the condition that generates maximum $H_2$ through the calculation of equilibrium model with conditions of pyrolysis gases of Refuse Plastic Fuel(RPF). This study deals with the computational simulation of a RPF gasification using an equilibrium model based on minimization of the Gibbs free energy. An equilibrium analysis was carried out to determine species composition of Syngas in RPF gasification and reactions to variation of temperature, $O_2$/Fuel ratio and Steam/Fuel ratio. Calculated results showed that $O_2$/Fuel ratio, Steam/Fuel ratio and temperature affected on mole fraction of $H_2$, CO.

Calculated results shows that hydrocarbons in pyrolyzed gas are converted to synthesis gas which is formed on hydrogen and carbon monoxide.

The keto-enol tautomeric equilibrium constant, K, of ethyl acetoacetate in compressed and supercritical carbon dioxide was determined by using FT-IR (Fourier transform infrared) spectroscopy at three different temperatures. In order to investigate the effect of solvent density, the $CO_{2}$ pressure was systematically changed at a constant temperature. As the $CO_{2}$ density is increased, the amount of keto tautomer is increased, causing the K value to decrease. The modified lattice fluid hydrogen bonding theory has been applied to investigate the effect of density on the K.

Numerical study is carried out to investigate the effects of chemistry and thermal radiation on the rocket plume flow field at various altitudes. Navier-Stokes equations for compressible flows were solved by a fully-implicit TVD code based on the finite volume method. An infinitely fast chemistry module for hydrocarbon mixture with detailed thermo-chemical properties and a thermal radiation module for optically thick media were incorporated with the fluid dynamics code. The plume flow fields of a kerosene-fueled rocket flying at Mach number zero at sea-level, 1.16 at altitude of 5.06 km and 2.90 at 17.34 km were numerically analyzed. Results showed the plume structures at different altitude conditions with the effects of chemistry and radiation. It is understood that the excess temperature by the chemical reactions in the exhaust gas may not be ignored in the view point of propulsion performance and thermal protection of the rocket base, especially at higher altitude conditions.

An efficient performance model for scramjet engines has been proposed for scramjet performance design. In supersonic air intake design, the compression angles of the wedge were determined to maximize the total pressure recovery of the intake based on Oswatisch criterion. Both combustion models of chemical equilibrium and finite-rate chemistry model are implemented, and compared each model with the results by Starkey for Waverider engine configuration. Finally, the performance model of concern has been confirmed by conducting performance analysis with hypothetical mission profile and design conditions.

An equilibrium analysis was carried out to determine principal species of heavy metals in waste incineration and their behaviors with variation of temperature, chlorine concentration, excess air ratio, and C/H ratio. The waste was assumed as a compound of hydrocarbon fuel, chlorine, and metals. Calculated results showed that the most important parameter to determine the principal species was temperature. Chlorine concentration also affected on mole fractions of the principal species. Generally principal species at high temperature were chlorides while there were some metals of which principal species were oxides. At low temperature mole fractions of the principal species increased, but at high temperature mole fractions of some metal species decreased. C/H ratio of the hydrocarbon fuel and excess air ratio had little effect on mole fractions of the metal species, compared to the temperature and chlorine concentration.

액적화학은 SO4$^{-2}$ 생성에 중요한 역할을 할 뿐만 아니라 OH와 HO$_2$ 라디칼 생성에도 영향을 미친다. 따라서 기존 기상 광화학반응에 액적화학을 추가하여 산성비 모사를 하여왔다. 그러나 액적화학을 추가하기 위해서는 기액간의 물질전달을 포함하여야 하고 액적화학반응속도와 기상화학반응속도가 크게 다름으로써 수치적 풀이의 어려움이 가중되는 문제가 있다. 따라서 기존 연구에서는 기액간의 평형 및 시간 분리 등의 가정을 사용하여 액적화학 반응 추가에 따른 문제를 해결하여 왔다. 본 논문은 이러한 수치단순화의 정확도를 평가하려 한다.

$\beta$-Glucosidase enzyme reaction under high hydrostatic pressure was investigated in terms of physical chemistry. A model substrate (p-nitrophenyl-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside(pNPG)) was used, and the pressure effects on the enzymatic hydrolysis (pNPG${\rightarrow}$pNP) at 25 MPa, 50 MPa, 75 MPa, and 100 MPa were analyzed. Two parts of the reaction such as kinetic and equilibrium stages were considered for mathematical modelling, and their physicochemical parameters such as forward and inverse reaction constants, equilibrium constant, volume change by pressure, etc. were mathematically modeled. The product concentration increased with pressure, and the two stages of reaction were observed. Prediction models were derived to numerically compute the product concentrations according to reaction time over kinetic to equilibrium stages under high pressure condition. Conclusively, the $\beta$-Glucosidase enzyme reaction could be activated by pressurization within 100 MPa, and the developed models were very successful in their prediction.
