Gasification of biomass produces syngas containing CO, $H_2$ and/or $CH_4$, which can then be converted into energy or value-added fuels. One of key issues for efficient gasification is to minimize tar concentration in the syngas for use in a final conversion device such as gas engine. This study investigated the decomposition of primary tar by catalytic cracking using char as catalyst, of which the feature can be integrated into a fixed bed gasifier design. The pyrolysis vapor containing tar from pyrolysis of wood at $500^{\circ}C$ was passed through a reactor filled with or without char at $800^{\circ}C$ for a residence time of 1, 3 or 5 sec. Then, the condensable vapor (water and tar) and gases were analyzed for the yields and elemental composition. Four types of char particles with different microscopic surface area and pore size distribution: wood, paddy straw, palm kernel shell and activated carbon. The results were analyzed for the mass and carbon yields of tar and the composition of product gases to conclude the effects of char types and residence time.

To investigate the synthesis of $\beta$-Al2O3 and its crystallization behavior by oxalate coprecipitation method, the optimum pH range for oxalate coprecipitates has been theoretically calculated from the solubility products and the equilibrium constans of each metal ionic species and their solubility diagram wa obtained. The optimum pH range for oxalate coprecipitates at room temperature was estimated as <4. In experiment, we found that the optimum condition for oxalate coprecipitates was pH<1, which was not doped with pH controller. The Na+ ions were easily exchanged for the NH4+ ions of NH4OH which was used as pH controller, and those NH4+ ions were supposed to affect the crystallization behavior of $\beta$-Al2O3. The thermal decomposition of all complexes was almost complete below 40$0^{\circ}C$. The primary product of the decomposition process was m-Al2O3, which transformed to $\beta$"- or $\beta$-Al2O3 at temperature higher than 100$0^{\circ}C$. We found that the powder prepared at 120$0^{\circ}C$ had only $\beta$"- and $\beta$-Al2O3.EX>-Al2O3.

SI thermochemical hydrogen production process achieves water splitting into hydrogen and oxygen through three chemical reactions. The process is comprised of three sections and one of them is HI decomposition into $H_2$ and $I_2$ called as Section III. The production of $H_2$ included processes involving EED for concentrating a product stream from Section I. Additionally an $I_2$ crystallization would be considered to reduce burden on EED by removing certain amount of $I_2$ out of a process stream prior to EED. In this study, the current thermodynamic model of SI process was briefly described and the calculation results of the applied Electrolytes NRTL model for phase equilibrium calculations was illustrated for ternary systems of Section III. We calculated temperature and heat duty of an $I_2$ crystallizer and heat duty of heaters using UVa model and heat balance equation of simulation tool. The results were expected to be used as operation information in optimizing HI decomposition process and setting up material balance throughout SI process.

Tetrafluoromethane($CF_4$) have been widely used as etching and chemical vapor deposition gases for semiconductor manufacturing processes. $CF_4$ decomposition efficiency using microwave system was carried out as a function of the microwave power, the reaction temperature, and the quantity of $Al_2O_3$ addition. High reaction temperature and addition of $Al_2O_3$ increased the $CF_4$ removal efficiencies and the $CO_2/CF_4$ ratio. When the SA30 (SiC+30wt%$Al_2O_3$) and SA50 (SiC+50wt%$Al_2O_3$) were used, complete $CF_4$ removal was achieved at $1000^{\circ}C$. The $CF_4$ was reacted with $Al_2O_3$ and by-products such as $CO_2/CF_4$ and $AlF_3$ were produced. Significant amount of by-product such as $AlF_3$ was identified by X-ray powder diffraction analysis. It also showed that the ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ was transformed to ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ after microwave thermal reaction.

When propagating the thickness direction of composite laminates ultrasound waves interacts strongly with the orientation and sequence of the plies in a layup. Also the layup orientation greatly influences its properties in a composite laminate. If one ply of the layup orientation is misaligned, it could result in the part being rejected and discarded. Now, most researchers cut a small coupon from the waste edge and use a microscope to optically verify the ply sequences on important parts. Those may add a substantial cost to the product since the test is both labor hard and performed after the part is cured. A nondestructive technique would be very beneficial, which could be used to test the part after curing and require less time than the optical test. Therefore we have developed, reduced, and implemented a novel ply-by-ply vector decomposition model for composite lam mates fabricated from unidirectional plies. This model decomposes the transmission of a linearly polarized ultrasound wave into orthogonal components through each ply of a laminate. It is found that a high probability shows between the model and tests developed in characterizing cured layups of the laminates.

In this study, the characteristics of atrazine decompositon with photo-chemical oxidation process was investigated by the oxidation products analysis. The main products of the process were OIET(2-hydroxy-4-ethylamino-6-isopropylamino s-triazine), OIAT(2-hydroxy-4-amino-6-isopropylamino s-triazine) and OAAT(2-hydroxy-4,6-diamino-s-triazine), resulting i n dechlorination or hydroxylation as the main mechanism of the photo-chemical oxidation process. Through the material balance analysis of TOC and chloride ion in the aqueous solution, it was concluded that mineralization of the atrazine was not occurred but the dechlorination of atrazine had been completed.

Reaction of thianthrene cation radical perchlorate (1) with cumene (4), p-chlorocumene (2), and p-nitrocumene (3) hydroperoxides in acetonitrile at room temperature afforded, inter alia, thianthrene as a common product and 5-(4'-hydroxyphenyl) thianthrenium perchlorate (5) for 4, 5-(5'-chloro-2'-hydroxyphenyl) thianthrenium perchlorate (7) and 5-acetonylthianthrenium perchlorate (6) for 2 and 6 for 3, respectively. Stoichiometry of these reactions showed that 2 moles of 1 gave rise to 1mole of thianthrene and 1 mole of thianthrenium salt (or salts). Nucleophilic reactivity to 1 was found to be in the order of phenol > > p-chlorophenol ${\sim}$ acetone > > p-nitrophenol. Apart from acid-catalyzed heterolytic decomposition of hydroperoxides, small amount of homolytic decomposition products were found from 3 and 4.

This paper presents a practical method to evaluate the effective length factors for columns in multi-storey unbraced frames based on the concept of storey-based elastic buckling by means of decomposing a multi-storey frame into a series of single-storey partially-restrained (PR) frames. The lateral stiffness of the multi-storey unbraced frame is derived and expressed as the product of the lateral stiffness of each storey. Thus, the stability analysis for the multi-storey frame is conducted by investigating the lateral stability of each individual storey, which is facilitated through decomposing the multi-storey frame into a series of single-storey PR frames and applying the storey-based stability analysis proposed by the authors (Xu and Liu 2002) for each single-storey PR frame. Prior to introducing decomposition approaches, the end rotational stiffness of an axially load column is derived and rotational stiffness interaction between the upper and lower columns is investigated. Three decomposition approaches, characterized by means of distributing beam-to-column rotational-restraining stiffness between the upper and lower columns, are proposed. The procedure of calculating storey-based column effective length factors is presented. Numerical examples are then given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed procedure.

The method that determines the appropriate damping factor is studied for a lens design. When suitable damping factor is applied to the additive damped least-squares (DLS) method, the convergence and the stability of the optimization process are examined in a triplet-type photographic lens design. We calculate eigenvalues of the product of the Jacobian matrix of error functions by using the singular value decomposition (SVD) method. We adopt the median of eigenvalues as an appropriate damping factor. The convergence and the stability of the optimization process are improved by choosing the adequate damping factor for the optimization of a photographic lens. It is known that the numerical inaccuracy in the calculation of normal equation is overcome by using the orthogonal transformations of the Jacobian matrix. Therefore, a combination of the method for setting a proper damping factor and the orthogonal transformations of the Jacobian matrix is good for application to the design of an aspheric lens with high-order terms. terms.

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 $280^{\circ}C$.
