Alumina (Al₂O₃) is mainly used as a structural ceramic material and to have good mechanical properties requires a dense microstructure. In commercial fabrication, the liquid phase sintering process is adjusted to reduce the sintering temperature of alumina. In this study, the effect of added amounts of cobalt oxide as a coloring agent on the microstructure and mechanical properties was investigated in the CaO-SiO₂-MgO-system liquid phase sintering of 92 % alumina at various sintering temperatures. When 11 wt% Co₂O₃ was added, a rearrangement of alumina particles, which is the main densification step in liquid phase sintering, occurred from a sintering temperature of 1200℃. Solution re-precipitation and coalescence steps followed from 1300℃ with the grain growth of alumina particles. The addition of excess Co₂O₃ and sintering temperatures above 1400℃ resulted in a decrease in sintered density and Vickers hardness, because of the low viscosity of the liquid phase. In 92 % alumina with the addition of 11 wt% Co₂O₃, a sintered density and Vickers hardness of 3.86 g/㎤ and 12.32 GPa, respectively, were obtained at a sintering temperature of 1350℃.

A cryogenic liquid stored in the closed cryogenic tank has been studied at various liquid levels. The change of pressure, temperature, and liquid-vapor ratio in the tank depended on the liquid levels. The various phenomena were shown at different liquid levels as follows: (1) liquid level was increased with condensation of vapor: (2) liquid was vaporized in spite of liquid level going up for a certain initial period and then condensation of vapor occurred at higher pressure; (3) liquid was vaporized without liquid level change; (4) liquid was vaporized with liquid level decreasing. If the tank is full with cryogenic liquid, it is extremely dangerous because of soaring the pressure. Therefore the tank must be filled with $90\%$ liquid according to the safety rules. If the tank was filled with $0\%$ ullage, the pressure increment as high as 80bar during first 5 days. With $90\%$ liquid level, however, the pressure was increased as low as 1.5bar in the same period. No matter what the liquid level is, it is very dangerous if the tank is locked-up with filled cryogenic liquid for a long time.

1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ($BMIM^+BF_4{^-}$) and $Al_2O_3$ as metal oxide for preparation of composite membrane were utilized for the $CO_2$ separation. When 13 nm $Al_2O_3$ nanoparticles were incorporated into ionic liquid $BMIM^+BF_4{^-}$, the separation performance for composite membrane showed the selectivity ($CO_2/N_2$) of 30.5 and $CO_2$ permeance of 45.7 GPU. The enhanced separation performance was attributable to the increased $CO_2$ solubility by both oxide layer of $Al_2O_3$ and abundant free ions of ionic liquid. In particular, $Al_2O_3$ nanoparticles acted as obstacles to nitrogen gas, resulting in the decrease of permeability of nitrogen gas. As a result, the carbon dioxide separation performance could be enhanced.

Performance of freezing and refrigeration systems in supermarket, which utilized $CO_2$ as a refrigerant, was investigated by using the Pack Calculation II. The configuration of simulated systems was basic parallel refrigeration system, cascade system, and two-stage system. The $CO_2$ cascade system showed higher COP than basic parallel R404A system by 13% for MT and 62% for LT, respectively. Among the $CO_2$ cascade systems, R717(MT)-$CO_2$(LT) showed the highest performance. Open-type intercooler method showed higher performance than liquid injection for the two-stage $CO_2$ systems.

This study investigated the characteristics of spray generated by a liquid-liquid co-axial swirl injector used in a combustor of the liquid rocket engine. The linear stability analysis[1] was introduced In liquid sheet breakup and Post[2]'s collision model which considers shattering was adopted on the collision model after breakup. Every model was implemented to KIVA[3], which was adopted as solve. To validate the implemented models the cases of high and low injection velocity were calculated respectively and each result agreed well with test results.

The preliminary design of a deep-sea injection system for carbon dioxide ocean sequestration is performed. Common functional requirements for a deep-sea injection system of mid-depth type and lake type are determined, Liquid transport system, liquid storage system and liquid injection system are conceptually determined for the functional requirements. For liquid injection system, the control of flow rate and temperature of liquid $CO_2$ in the injection pipe is needed in the view of internal flow. The function of depressing VIV(Vortex Induced Vibration) is also required in the view of dynamic stability of the injection pipe. A case study is performed for $CO_2$ sequestration capacity of 10 million tons per year. In this study, the total number of injection ships, the flow rate of liquid $CO_2$ and the configuration of a injection pipe are designed. The static structural analysis of the injection pipe is also performed. Finally the preliminary design of a deep-sea injection system is proposed.

We report the catalytic effects of metal oxides on the $CO_2$ absorption rate in an aqueous potassium salt of ${\text\tiny{L}}-lysine-HCl$ using the vapor liquid equilibrium method. The best $CO_2$ absorption rate obtained through testing metal oxides in a highly concentrated potassium salt of amino acids (2.0 M) was identified using CuO. The recyclability of the metal oxides was tested over three cycles. The catalyst CuO was found to enhance the absorption rate of $CO_2$ by 61%. A possible mechanism was proposed based on NMR spectroscopy studies. Further, the effect of change in liquid absorbent viscosity on $CO_2$ absorption is discussed.

Mixed electrolytes formed by the combination of 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide (BMP-TFSI) ionic liquid and standard liquid electrolyte are prepared and characterized. Linear sweep voltammetry measurements demonstrate that these mixed systems exhibit a wide electrochemical stability window, allowing them to be suitable electrolyte for carbonaceous anode-based lithium-ion batteries. Lithium-ion cells composed of graphite anode and $LiCoO_2$ cathode are assembled using the mixed electrolytes, and their cycling performances are evaluated. The cell containing proper content of BMP-TFSI shows good cycling performance comparable to that of a cell assembled with organic electrolyte. The presence of BMP-TFSI in the mixed electrolyte contributes to the reduction of the flammability of electrolyte solution and the improvement of the thermal stability of charged $Li_{1-x}CoO_2$ in the electrolyte solution.

The idea of $CO_2$ sequestration in the ocean is proposed to be an effective mitigation strategy to counteract potential global warming due to the greenhouse effect. Therefore, in the present study, calculations of the dissolution behavior of $CO_2$ hydrate when liquid carbon dioxide is released at 1,000m and 1,500m in depth are performed. The results show the liquid $CO_2$ injected in the ocean becomes $CO_2$ bubble at between 350 m in depth, and the injection from a moving ship is a more effective method of dissolution than through a fixed pipeline. It so also noted that the ultimate plume generated from $CO_2$ bubbles repeats expansion and shrinking due to the peeling from a fixed pipeline.

A high performance liquid chromatographic method was developed for the determination of DA-6034 in biological fluids using internal standard. Plasma containing DA-6034 and inter nal standard was extracted by liquid-liquid extraction at an acidic pH. After evaporation of the organic layer, the drug and internal standard were reconstituted with mobile phase and injected into the column. They were separated by high performance liquid chromatography on inertsil ODS II column at 334 nm. The detection limit of DA-6034 in plasma was 0.02 ${\mu}$g/ml. In this method, the range of recovery and coefficients of variation were 96-110% and 0.40-3.78%, respectively. There was no interference from endogenous substances. Urine and bile were analysed using the deproteinization method and the detection limit of DA-6034 was 1${\mu}$g/l.
