  • We investigated student's characteristics in each educational achievement level using the results of the NAEA (National Assessment of Educational Achievement) in 2009 and 2010 for Grade 9 students. The analysis of representative items of each educational achievement level revealed that (a) advanced level students could explain the change in phenomena with both the characteristics of matter and the model, (b) proficient level students could explain only simple phenomena with the model, and (c) basic level students did not understand the model and were therefore unable to use it to explain phenomena.

  • In this study, the phenomena of hydrate formation and inhibition were investigated according to varying the concentrations using methanol and ethylene glycol as chemical additives. The results reveal that the used additives display better inhibition effects compared to pure water by decreasing the formation temperature and the inhibition performance of methanol is superior to that of ethylene glycol. As a conclusion, the plugging phenomena of flowline in natural gas product ion. subsea and frozen field pipelines can be predicted by examining the hydrate formation and inhibition conditions. Specifically, the results of this study can be applied to the selection of the prevention criteria and method of hydrate formation.

  • A numerical simulation of membrane evaporation process was carried out in this work. The aim of simulation is to describe transport of water through porous membranes applicable to the concentration of aqueous solutions. A three-dimensional mathematical model was developed which considers transport phenomena including mass, heat, and momentum transfer in membrane evaporation process. The equations of model were then solved numerically using finite element method. The results of simulation in terms of evaporation flux were compared with experimental data, and confirmed the accuracy of model. Moreover, profile of pressure, concentration, and heat flux were obtained and analyzed. The results revealed that developed 3D model is capable of predicting performance of membrane evaporators in concentration of aqueous solutions.

  • In the present study Sisal fiber obtained from the leaves of Agave sisalana has been chosen to validate its viability as an adsorbent for the removal of Nickel from aqueous solutions. The material was also surface modified and its effect on adsorption of Nickel was also studied. Agave sisalana fiber was found to be a cheap and effective adsorbent doing away with the need to activate the material therby reducing processing cost. The equilibrium studies indicated that the adsorption capacity of raw fiber and the surface modified fiber was 8.66 and 9.77 mg/g respectively with the Langmuir isotherm describing the adsorption phenomena better than the Freundlich and Temkin isotherm. The adsorption was found to be exothermic from the thermodynamic studies and the kinetics showed that the adsorption phenomena were second order.

  • $^1H$ and $^{13}C$ NMR spectra of series of (E)-1-aryl-(2- and 3-thienyl)-2-propenones, that are aldol condensation products between 2- and 3-thiophenecarbaldehydes and m- and p-substituted acetophenones, were examined to make complete assignments of the chemical shifts. Long range couplings, $^4J$ and $^5J$, are observed in the $^1H-^1H$ COSY of both 2- and 3-thienyl compounds, which makes the elucidation of the conformation in solution possible. In contrast, the 2-furyl analogue shows the long range coupling phenomena, but the 3-furyl and phenyl analogues do not show similar phenomena.

  • We have studied the generation, growth and behavior of chemical species and particles in silane PCVD. We included the plasma chemistry of silane, particle nucleation by homogeneous formation, acrosol dynamics and transport phenomena of chemical species and particles. The concentration profile of chemical species and particles were shown as a function of reactor length. The effects of process variables such as reactor pressure, total gas flow rate and electrical field strength on the behavior of chemical species and particles were analyzed.

  • Adsorption process is largely influenced by pore structures of adsorbents and physical properties of adsorbates and adsorbents. The previous studies of this laboratory was focused on the role of pore structures of adsorbents. And we found some pores of adsorbates which have larger pore diameters than the diameter of adsorbate are filled with easily. In this study the effects of physical and chemical properties of adsorbates and adsorbents, such as pore size distribution, vapor pressure on adsorption were investigated more thoroughly at the concentration of adsorbate of 1000 ppm. The adsorption in the pore ranges of $2{\sim}4$ times of adsorbates's diameter could be explained by space filling concept. But there was some condensation phenomena at larger pore ranges. The errors between the adsorbed amount of non-polar adsorbates and the calculated amounts by considering factors were found to be 44.46%, positively, and -142%, negatively. When vapor pressure is considered, the errors between the adsorbed amount of non-polar adsorbates and the calculated amounts were in the range of $1.69%{\sim}32.25%$ positively, and negatively $-1.08%{\sim}-63.10%$.

  • It is well known that the atmospheric inorganic aerosol has the hysteresis phenomena depending on the history of relative humidity. However, the current computational researches have assumed that the physical/chemical state of atmospheric aerosol is only determined by a branch of hysteresis, efflorescence or deliquescence. In this work, we applied the MATLAB-based UHAEROm thermodynamics module to simulate the dynamic interaction between gaseous species $NH_3$ and $HNO_3$, and the two mono-disperse particulate populations in the course of efflorescence and deliquescence, respectively. We conducted the 10 case studies considering the particulate phase with the atmospherically prevailing chemical composition and found that the final states of the particles are determined through the qualitatively five different trajectories by the dynamic interaction between gaseous and two different kinds of particulates. As a result, we show that the coexistence of meta-stable and stable particles drives the different physical/chemical destination comparing with the ones generated from the solitary efflorescence or deliquescence branch.
