  • With the steady depletion off fossil fuel reserves, hydrogen based energy sources become increasingly attractive. Therefore hydrogen production or separation technologies, such as Bas separation membrane based on adsorption technology, have received enormous attention in the industrial and academic fields. In this study, the transport mechanisms of the MTES (methyltriethoxysilane) templating silica/a-alumina composite membrane were evaluated by using unary, binary and quaternary hydrogen gas mixtures permeation experiments at unsteady- and steady-states. Since the permeation flux in the MTES membrane, through the experimental and theoretical study, was affected by molecular sieving effects as well as surface diffusion properties, the kinetic and equilibrium separation should be considered simultaneously in the membrane according to molecular properties. In order to depict the transient multi-component permeation on the templating silica membrane, the GMS (generalized Maxwell-Stefan) and DGM (dust Bas model) were adapted to unsteady-state material balance

  • Some of the Kinetic properties of crystallic xanthine dehydrogenase form Pseudomonas synxantha A3 were studied. The enzyme activity was strongly inhibited by adenine, 8-azaadenine, 2-methyladenine, guanine, and 8-azaguanine, but not by caffeine, and the inhibitions by adenine and guanine were observed to be of noncompetitive type. The $K_i$ values for adenine and guanine were 0.037 and 0.098 mM, respectively. Michaelis constants were found to be 0.33 and 0.06 rnM for hypoxanthine and xanthine with $NAD^+$ as the second substrate, respectively, and 0.1 rnM for $NAD^+$ with either hypoxanthine or xanthine as the second substrate.

  • A mathematical model is developed for a CSTR in which free radical solution polymerization of methyl methacrylate(MMA) takes place. It turns out that five ordinary differential equations are to be treated simultaneously in order to predict the reactor performance. Although the reaction proceeds under the conditions of relatively low temperature and pressure, the system shows very complex bifurcation features due to the diffusion limitation (gel effect) and the temperature dependence of the kinetic parameters and physical properties. The effects of various system parameters on the reactor performance as well as on the polymer properties are investigated by using the bifurcation analysis. The application of the singularity theory enables us to divide the parameter space into several different regions, in each of which the system takes a unique steady state structure. Under certain circumstances, complex dynamic features such as HB points and limit cycles are observed and these should be taken into consideration in the reactor design.

  • We use three-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations to investigate the characteristics of turbulence driven in rotating, vertically-stratified disk. Our models are isothermal, and local in the in-plane direction while global in the vertical direction. We allow localized regions with density larger than the threshold value to explode and inject kinetic energy to the surrounding medium in the real space rather than Fourier space, mimicking supernova explosions thought to be the dominant turbulence source. This work extends our previous study where we studied turbulence in a non-rotating, uniform environment. We find that the galaxy rotation does not make a significant difference in the turbulence level at saturation, since the associated shear velocity is much smaller than the explosion velocity. We analyze the properties of turbulence in our models and compare them with those from the uniform-density models. We also discuss the astrophysical implication of our findings.

  • To perform the rigorous integrity evaluation of RPV, it is necessary to consider metallurgical factors such as microstructure evolution during multi-pass welding process and PWHT. The microstructures of the heat affected zone(HAZ) of SA508 steel were predicted by a combination of simulated thermal analysis and a simple kinetic models for austenite grain growth and austenite-ferrite transformation. Phase equilibrium of SA508 steel were calculated using a Thermo-Calc package. Carbide growth in th HAZ were predicted by a empirical model, taking into account the predicted microstructure evolution.

  • Several insertion mutants of Escherichia coli in the ant gene, coding for $Na^{+}$ $H^{+}$ antiport activity, showed littel, if any, reduction in the antiport activity. $Na^{+}$ dependent transport activity also remained at wild type level. These facts led to the idea that E. coli has evolved at least two distinct systems for extrusion of $Na^{+}$ The antiport activities were studied under various conditions to reveal different properties of these systems. For convenience these activities are referred to as major and minor activities. The distinguishing properties of the two systems include : kinetics (Km, Vm) at pH 7.8, competition pattern between $Na^{+}$ and Li$^{+}$ , pH profiles, pattern of the change in kinetic parameters as a function of pH, and sensitivity to protease, chemicals and heat.

  • DLC thin films have been fabricated by pulsed laser deposition with various deposition parameters. The characterization of fabricated thin films was performed depending on the deposition parameters. As the kinetic energies provided by deposition temperature and the laser energy density were increased, the film showed graphite properties. Structural properties of the films were investigated by Raman spectroscopy. The growth energy should be optimized to fabricate high quality DLC thin films. DLC films showed high hardness and their friction coefficient was measured to be about 0.2 regardless of the load of the ball pin.

  • The fast-migrating cationic peroxidase isozyme, named RC3, was purified from rice (Oryza sativa cv. Nak-Dong) callus. Purification of the enzyme was accomplished by ammonium sulfate fractionation, CM-cellulose ionexchange chromatography, and Sephacryl S-100 gel filtration. The molecular mass of the enzyme was about 34 KDa as determined by SDS-PACE and 38 KDa by Sephacryl-100 gel filtration. The pI value of the enzyme was 8.9. Antiserum against RC3 was raised in rabbits, and anti RC3 antiserum reacted with RC3 isozyme by Ouchterlony double immunodiffusion. The optimum pHs and Km values of the enzyme for various substrates were determined. Kinetic studies with various substrates showed that RC3 had very low Km value of 0.01 mM for ferulic acid and ascorbic acid. However, the enzyme did not use esculetin as a substrate.

  • There are rising demands for developing more efficient energy materials to stem the depletion of fossil fuels, which have prompted significant research efforts on proton exchange fuel cells (PEFCs) and lithium ion batteries (LIBs). To date, both PEFCs and LIBs are being widely developed to power small electronics, however, their utilization to medium-large sized electric power resources such as vehicle and stationary energy storage systems still appears distant. These technologies increasingly rely upon polymer electrolyte membranes (PEMs) that transport ions from the anode to the cathode to balance the flow of electrons in an external circuit, and therefore play a central role in determining the efficiency of the devices; as ion transport is a kinetic bottleneck compared to electrical conductivity, enormous efforts have been devoted to improving the transport properties of PEMs. In present study, we carried out an in-depth analysis of the morphology effects on transport properties of PEMs. How parameters such as self-assembled nanostructures, domain sizes, and domain orientations affect conductivities of PEMs will be presented.

  • In this study, a dielectric cure monitoring system which consists of an electric circuit, a sensor and a personal computer was developed to on-line monitor the dielectric properties of carbon fiber epoxy composite materials. Also, the kinetic model of carbon fiber epoxy composite materials was developed by curve fitting of differential scanning calorimetry data. The start and end points of cure and the relationship between the dissipation factor and the degree of cure were obtained by comparing the dissipation factor from the dielectric properties with the degree of cure from the DSC data. The relationship between the dissipation factor and the degree of cure was tested under various temperature profiles.
