This study proposes a model for road surface temperature prediction on basis of the heat-energy balance equation between atmosphere and road surface. The overall model is consisted of two types of modules: 1) Canopy 1 is used to describe heat transfer between soil surface and atmosphere; and 2) Canopy 2 can reflect the characteristics of pavement type. Input data used in the model run is obtained from the Korea Meteorological For model validation, the observed and predicted surface temperature data are compared using data collected on MoonEui Bridge along CheongWon-Sangju Expressway, and the comparison is made on winter and other seasons separately. Analysis results show that average difference between two temperatures lies within ${\pm}2^{\circ}C$ which is considered as appropriate from a micrometeorology point of view. The model proposed in this paper can be adopted as a useful tool in practical applications for winter maintenance. This study being a fundamental research is anticipated to be a starting point for further development of robust surface road temperature prediction algorithms.

Poly(butylene terephthalate- co-oxybenzoate)(PBOT) containing mesogenic oxybenzoate units in the main chain was synthesized through ester exchange reaction by melt mixing of poly(butylene terephthalate)(PBT) and p-acetoxybenzoic acid (ABA). From the kinetics of the copolymerization reaction, the activation energies and the rate constants of homopolymerization and copolymerization, k$_{h}$ and k$_{c}$, could be determined. From the reaction conditions of different compositions, 4/6, 5/5, and 6/4 of PBT/ABA, at 250, 260, and 27$0^{\circ}C$, it was revealed that copolymerization between PBT and ABA proceeds on a pseudo-second order reaction if the ABA content and its conversion are low. In this case, the ratio of rate constants of homopolymerization to copolymerization was in the range from 1.08 to 3.17, indicating that the copolymer with more notable block character was obtained at the higher mole fraction of ABA and at higher temperature.e.e.

The shelf-life of instant noodle stored at $35{\sim}65^{\circ}C$ under dark condition was estimated from the change of hexanal content, which was linearly increased as the storage time increased. The rate constants of hexanal production at various storage temperatures followed Arrhenius relationship. The activation energy and $Q_{10}$ calculated were 12.7 kcal/mole and 1.92, respectively. The rancid flavor was organoleptically detected after 6 days at $65^{\circ}C$ and 13 days $50^{\circ}C$, at which the content of hexanal was 3.5 ppm. The shelf-life of instant noddle at $21^{\circ}C$ based on $Q_{10}$ value of hexanal production was about 110 days. The changes of acid value and peroxide value of instant noodle during storage followed similar pattern to those of hexanal. The activation energy and $Q_{10}$ for both acid value and peroxide value were 16.0 kcal/mole and 2.55, respectively. The hexanal content showed a high positive correlation with acid value as well as peroxide value at all storage temperatures.

Rheological properties of gelatinized rice starch solutions were investigated with Brookfield rotational viscometer. The 8% starch solution showed thixotropic behavior with yield stress. The alkali gelatinized starch was more thixotropic than the thermal gelatinized one. The time dependent characteristics of starch solutions followed Tiu's model. The value of rate constant $(a_1)$ in Tiu's model increased linearly with shear rate, and was exponentially dependent on concentration and temperature. Temperature dependency of rate constant and apparent viscosity followed Arrhenius type equation and the activation energy were about 14.3 and 6.8 Kcal/g mole, respectively. The $a_1-value$ was found to be useful to evaluate changes in structaral decay on the shearing time of gelatinized rice starch solutions.

PEBAX[poly(ether-block-amide)-ZIF-8(zeolitic imidazolate framework) composite membranes were prepared with different amounts of ZIF-8; 0, 1, 3, 7, 10, and 20 wt%. Gas permeation experiment were performed by varying the temperature of 25, 35, $40^{\circ}C$ under condition $6kgf/cm^2$. Gas permeability of $C_3H_6$, $C_3H_8$ and selectivity ($C_3H_6/C_3H_8$) were investigated by increasing the amount of ZIF-8 in the PEBAX. The gas permeability of $C_3H_6$ and $C_3H_8$ increased as ZIF-8 content increased among 0 to 7 wt% range and decreased among 7 to 20 wt% range. When the ZIF contents of PEBAX-ZIF composite membrane were 7 wt%, the selectivity ($C_3H_6/C_3H_8$) was taken between 3.6 and 3.8 value and also had the lowest activation energy.

To investigate the decomposition kinetics of poly(ethylene terephthalate) the high pressure molten-polymer injector has been devised. Using the experimental apparatus equipped with batch reactor and high pressure molten-polymer injector the decomposition of PET has been performed at constant pressure of 250 bar and 300, 320, $340^{\circ}C$, respectively. At each temperature conditions the conversions after initial 1 minute have shown very high values such as 76-90%. As the temperature increases the conversion reaches more than 98% at 10 minutes. Based on the second order reaction model the reaction rate constants have been obtained. We can calculate the conversions within 2% errors utilizing optimized rate constants. The activation energy for the decomposition of PET at subcritical conditions has shown to be 54.4 kJ/mol.

Flow properties of red flower cabbage pigment solutions were determined over a wide range of temperatures ($20-50^{\circ}C$) and soluble solid concentrations (1-65%) using a cone and plate rotational viscometer. Flow properties of the pigment solutions were adequately described by the simple power law model. Within the tested ranges of concentration, temperature and shear rate, the flow behavior index (n) and the consistency index (K) of the solutions were in the ranges of 0.841-0.998 and $0.008-31.525\;Pa{\cdot}s^n$, respectively. The effect of temperature on the apparent viscosity of the solutions followed an Arrhenius type relationship. Activation energy of flow varied from 9.36 to 52.48 kJ/mol depending on the solid concentration and shear rate. The combined effect of temperature and concentration on the apparent viscosity at the shear rate of $100\;s^{-1}$ could be represented by a single equation as ${\ln}\;{\eta}_a\;=\;6.11\;-\;3103.94(1/T)\;-\;0.03C$.

During soaking of soybeans in water at $4^{\circ}C{\sim}98^{\circ}C$, the volume gain of soybeans held a linear relation with the square root of soaking time regardless of soaking temperatures and showed a highly positive correlation with weight gain, which indicated that the volume increase of soybeans was basically due to the diffusion of water. The activation energies for the volume increase were changed at $40^{\circ}C$. The log time to reach a fixed moisture content showed a linear relation with the soaking temperature during soaking of soybeans at $4^{\circ}C-60^{\circ}C$. The z-value to reach 50% hydration was $50^{\circ}C-55^{\circ}C$.

The effects of temperature on the conformational properties of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) in aqueous and aqueous urea solutions are reported. The values of intrinsic viscosity and Huggins coefficients for the PEO dissolved in water and urea/water mixtures (urea concentration 0.2, 1, and 2 M) were obtained using a viscometry method and discussed with respect to the change of water structure. At low temperatures (below 22 $^{\circ}C)$, the PEO-water interaction is favorable and the chain can be extended, whereas at higher temperatures (above 24 $^{\circ}C)$, it is less favorable and the chain can be contracted by a hydrophobic hydration, i.e., the PEO-water interaction becomes to be unfavorable with the increase in temperature. As the urea is added to the system, the PEO chain can be more extended and huged by the perturbation of the structured water originating from the unfavorable PEO-water interaction. The effect of temperature on the intrinsic viscosity values shows an Arrhenius behavior. The activation energies of the viscous flow were obtained and discussed.
