Eight sample panels using an indium tin oxide(ITO)-coated glass substrate were fabricated, with barrier ribs formed of 55 ${\mu}m$ height and 10 ${\mu}m$ width. The upper and lower substrates were designed with the same panel condition, so a cell gap of 110 ${\mu}m$ was obtained. The charged particles in a cell consisted of $TiO_2$ (for white color) or carbon black (black color), negative or positive charge control agents, and a polymer. The average diameter of the two types of particles was commonly 10 ${\mu}m$, and their q/m value was -4.5 ${\mu}C/g$ and +4.5 ${\mu}C/g$, respectively. The electrically opposite particles mixed by an agitator were loaded into their cells by a simple particle-loading method. The discharging process proceeded at a humidity of 80% and a temperature of $30^{\circ}C$. Reflectivity was measured depending on discharging time, and a hysteresis curve by bias voltage obtained for comparison between the neutralized and non-neutralized panel, in which the superior optical property of the neutralized panel was ascertained.

Sesame has usually been harvested manually in korea. The conventional sesame harvest procedures consists of cutting, binding, drying and pod shattering. The procedures of drying and shattering are repeated $2{\sim}3$ times. By manual works of this conventional shattering, it was found that some extent of pods were has always remained unopened. Therefore, this study was conducted to find a way to save the labor of sesame shattering by use of a drying device; a prototype of shattering machine was developed and tested the performance. The developed prototype consists of several parts: a continuous horizontal inlet using a chain conveyer, a shattering by a shocking agitator, a rotating cone for shattering of remaining closed pods, and a winnow. The shattering ratio measured by this prototype was 90.3%, 6.4% and 3.3% at the first, second and third shattering step, respectively. We found that in contrast to the conventional method which required at least 3 times operations for complete shattering, this shattering prototype with the condition of sufficient dried sesame pod offered more than 90% of shattering ratio in the first operation.

Reef tallow was hydrolyzed with lipase under the conditions of liquid state and solid state. Lipase OF 360 was used for that purpose, and the lipase had the maximum activity when the olive oil was used as a substrate at pH 6 and $37^{\circ}C$. Beef tallow was dispersed by an agitator to perform a liquid enzymatic reaction. Water content, reaction temperature, and enzyme amount were varied as parameters affecting hydrolysis percentage. Ninety three percents of tallow were hydrolyzed at the following conditions: water content 80% w/w, temperature $37^{\circ}C$, and enzyme amount 200 unitlg tallow. In order to conduct a solid phase enzymatic reaction, sonication was employed for pretreating tallow with the enzyme solution. Molten tallow was sonified with the enzyme solution, and solidified by lowering temperature. And then hydrolysis reaction proceeded at $30^{\circ}C$. Sonication intensity and time were varied to control hydrolysis percentage. Optimum values of the intensity and the time were found to exist since the hydrolysis percentage did not increase further according to the increases of the intensity and the time.

The utilization of food garbage as composting was investigated by using the batch reactor and by varying the initial temperature of the fermentation reactors. As the straw controlled under 50 to 55% of moisture content and mixed 5% of EM(Effective Micro-organisms) microbial agent. An agitator continuously operated 1 rpm, supplying the amount of air(2l/kg.min). Reactor temperature changed three type of 40$\circ$C, 50$\circ$C, 60$\circ$C. In the case of 50$\circ$C operated 72 hr after organic contents showed lowest 48%, and weight reduction rate of showed 77%. The reaction gas was showed 30 min after 19. 9% of the lowest level at 20.9% concentration of oxygen and CO$_2$ gas was produced 0.9% due to organic disintegration on initial react time. NH$_4$, H$_2$ and CH$_4$ gas concentration showed 589 ppm lhr after, 83 ppm and 0.3%, but 8hr after gas product was complete. As using the straw of bulking agent, the Reduction by disintegration should be more effectively than composting.

In drilling process of oil wells, the drilling fluid such as mud keeps the drill bit cool and clean during drilling, with suspending drill cuttings and lubricating a drill bit. In this paper, a commercial CFD package(ANSYS Fluent 15.0) was used to solve the hydrodynamic force and evaluate mud mixing time in the mud mixing tank on offshore drilling platforms. Prediction of power consumption in co-rotating and counter-rotating models has been compared with results of Nagata's correlation equation. This research shows the hydrodynamic effect inside the two phase mud mixing tank according to rotating directions(co-rotating and counter-rotating). These results, we can conclude that the co-rotating direction of the two shafts with mixing blade in the mud mixing tank can be a preferable in power consumption and mixing time reduction.

The production of chitosan from the mycelia of Absidia coerulea was studied to improve cell growth and chitosan productivity. Culture conditions were optimized in batch cultivation (pH 4.5, agitator speed of 250 rpm, and aeration rate of 2 vvm) and the maximum chitosan concentration achieved was 2.3g/L under optimized conditions. Continuous culture was carried out successfully by the formation of new growth spots under optimized conditions, with a chitosan productivity of 0.052g/L(sup)-1 h(sup)-1, which is the highest value to date, and was obtained at a dulution rate of 0.05h(sup)-1. Cell chitosan concentrations reached about 14% in the steady state, which is similar to that achieved in batch culture. This study shows that for the continuous culture of Absidia coerulea it is vital to control the medium composition.

Modern society has been experiencing by population growth and urbanization that bring, a change of eating habits which has occurred a various types of waste in a large amount. Even though these wastes are required an immediate treatment with difficulties unsanitary handling and existing waste treatment method are by incineration, fermentation, drying and etc. however a bad smell occurs after the treatment that need's a lot of energy in processing organic wastes with high moisture contents and wasteful and inefficient problem. The strength assessment of the organic waste agitating vessel is required in terms of safety due to the differences of loading on the shaft that was treated by agitating the mixture of food waste. The damage of agitating axis is depended on steam pressure, temperature condition and the force moment that exerted by the food waste. Thus the strength assessment and stability evaluation are very important, especially to handle a hard waste. In this study the rotation capacity of agitation is about 5 tons considering general structural rolled steel pressure vessel strength and steam pressure. The purpose is to estimate the safety and strength evaluation for a agitator axis and impellers according to the rotating angle of the axis under the condition of the 3.2 ton capacity reactor.

Studies of preparation condition and characteristics of AUC(ammonium uranyl carbonate) were carried out to optimize AUC process with different reactor sizes and precipitation methos. As results four types of precipitates with different chemical compositions and morphologies were obtained from the reaction of {{{{ {(NH }_{4 }) { }_{2 } {CO }_{3 } }} with {{{{ {UO }_{2 }( {NO }_{3 }) { }_{2 } }} solution. A phase diagram has been made and crystal structure and chemical composition of each phase have been characterized by using SEM X-ray IR and thermal analysis. It was found that ammonium uranyl carbonate {{{{ {(NH }_{4 }) { }_{4 } {UO }_{2 } {(CO }_{3 }) { }_{3 } }} with monoclinic crystal morphology could be syn-thesized when the mole ratio of in {{{{ {(NH }_{4 }) { }_{2 } {CO }_{3 }/ {UO }_{2 } {(NO }_{3 }) { }_{2 } }} in the solution was higher than 5 Also a mechanism and a precipitating condition on rounding of the AUC particle were examined in the course of the AUC pre-cipitation. The rounding of the AUC particle was possible only by external circulation using pump not by internal circulation using agitator.

Direct reaction of elemental silicon with a mixture of (dichloromethyl)silanes 1 $[Cl_3-nMenSiCHCl_2:$ n = 0 (a), n = 1(b), n = 2(c), n = 3(d)] and hydrogen chloride has been studied in the presence of copper catalyst using a stirred bed reactor equ ipped with a spiral band agitator at various temperatures from $240^{\circ}C$ to $340^{\circ}C.$ Tris(si-lyl) methanes with Si-H bonds, 3a-d $[Cl_3-nMenSiCH(SiHCl_2)_2]$, and 4a-d $[Cl_3-nMenSiCH(SiHCl_2)(SiCl_3)]$, were obtained as the major products and tris(silyl)methanes having no Si-H bond, 5a-d $[Cl_3-nMenSiCH(SiCl_3)_2]$, as the minor product along with byproducts of bis(chlorosilyl)methanes, derived from the reaction of silicon with chloromethylsilane formed by the decomposition of 1. In addition to those products, trichlorosilane and tetra-chlorosilane were produced by the reaction of elemental silicon with hydrogen chloride. The decomposition of 1 was suppressed and the production of polymeric carbosilanes reduced by adding hydrogen chloride to 1. Cad-mium was a good promoter for and the optimum temperature for this direct synthesis was $280^{\circ}C$.
