The present study was performed to develop the removal system of the offensive gases, including hydrogen sulfide of acid gas, ammonia or amice of base gas, from the nightsoil treatment plant. In order to remove the offensive gases, the Fe-EDTA system liquid phase catalytic oxidation method with the bubble lift column reactor was employed. From the results obtained, it was confirmed that the offensive gases can be deodorized simultaneously and also hydrogen sulfide of acid gas, ammonia of base gas completely removed at pH 6.45. In addition, as input gases feed rate the efficiency of acid gas did not change but the efficiency of base gases decreased to approximately 90 % at pH 6, 0. From the result of particle size analyzer, it was found that the particle sizes including sulfur and other impurites grew up to $21{\mu}m$ over 72hour reaction time.

This study has been mainly motivated to numerically investigate the transient flame response to pressure oscillations in the gaseous hydrogen - liquid oxygen flames at supercritical pressures. The present analysis is based on the real-fluid transient flamlet model and the flame field is acoustically perturbed only by the sinewave oscillations in the frequency range from 1,000 Hz to 5,000 Hz. Based on numerical results, the detailed discussions are made for the flame response characteristics and the transient flamelet response associated with the high-frequency combustion instability in the liquid propellant rocket engines.

Siberian spruce, found in the northern temperature and boreal regions of the earth, is usable biomass as fuels. In this study, parameters of thermochemical degradation by pyrolysis-liquefaction reaction of siberian spruce such as the effect of reaction temperature, reaction time and degradation products and energy yields were investigated.

In this study, the heat transfer characteristics were numerically analyzed to investigate the possibility of utilizing cooling water using liquid nitrogen. From the study, as the mass flow rate of the hot fluid increased, the heat transfer rate increased by 8.9-81.7%. And lowering the inlet temperature of the hot fluid resulted in increase in the heat transfer rate by 33.8-71.5%. As for the filling level of liquid nitrogen, as higher filling level led to a decrease in the outlet temperature and an increase in the overall heat transfer coefficient.

The purification of two liquid phases ($H_2SO_4$ phase and HIx phase) formed from a Bunsen reaction in Sulfur-Iodine (SI) hydrogen production process was investigated in order to operate SI process efficiently. The each synthetic solution for two liquid phases contained impurities was prepared on the basis of a proper composition obtained from Bunsen reaction. The purification of each solution was performed by counter-current flow using a packed column at different temperatures and $N_2$ flow rates. As the results of purification, impurities existed in each phase were decreased with increasing the temperature and the $N_2$ flow rate. In particular, the increase of the $N_2$ flow rate at the lower temperatures was effective to remove impurities by a reverse Bunsen reaction without side reactions. On the whole, it may be concluded that the purification of each phase is accomplished by mixing effects of the stripping, the evaporation, and the reverse Bunsen reaction.

This paper presents the one-dimensional model of a hydrogen generator, where the alkali solution was supplied from the top to the dry aluminum powders. Hydrogen was produced as the solution moved downward and reacted with aluminum. The species conservation equations were considered for the hydrogen gas and alkali solution, while the energy conservation equation was applied to the gas-liquid-solid mixture as a single medium. The gas rising velocity and liquid penetration velocity were also included in the theoretical approach. The developed code was validated with the experimental data of the hydrogen production amount and collector pressure. Additionally, the model successfully predicted the various reactor properties, such as the concentrations, volume fractions, and temperatures, and is expected to help significantly in the design of a novel hydrogen generator.

The experimental results of sodium-water reaction noise measurement in frequency range $1{/sim}200kHz$ are presented. The experiments of noise generation under the condition of sodium test facility, water leak rate $0.01{\sim}1.2g/s$ and temperature of sodium $250{\sim}500^{\circ}C$, were carried out. From theoretical study it is noted that the noise resonant attenuation on hydrogen bubbles in liquid sodium plays the significant role for leak noise spectra formation. Interaction of leak noise and hydrogen bubbles in sodium being accompanied by thermal, emission and viscosity energy dissipation was studied. Acoustic noise spectra were investigated from point of view of water leak detection in sodium/water steam generator. The results of sodium-water reaction noise absorption on hydrogen bubbles in liquid sodium by temperature $250{\sim}500^{\circ}C$ are presented. The theoretical model of noise absorption using the coefficients of attenuation was developed. From calculation the coefficients of attenuation were estimated.

For carbon neutrality, direct-injection hydrogen engines are attracting attention as a future power source. It is essential to estimate the transient injection rate of hydrogen for the optimization of hydrogen injection in direct injection engines. However, conventional injection rate measurement techniques for liquid fuels based on the injection-induced fuel pressure change in a test section are difficult to be applied to gaseous fuels due to the compressibility of the gas and the sealing issue of the components. In this study, a momentum flux measurement technique is introduced to obtain the transient injection rate of gaseous fuels using a force sensor. The injection rate calculation models associated with the momentum flux measurement technique are presented first. Then, the volumetric injection rates are estimated based on the momentum flux data and the calculation models and compared with those measured by a volumetric flow rate meter. The results showed that the momentum flux measurement can detect the injection start and end timings and the transient and steady regimes of the fuel injection. However, the estimated volumetric injection rates showed a large difference from the measured injection rates. An alternative method is suggested that corrects the estimated injection rate results based on the measured mean volumetric flow rates.

Liquid hydrogen, which operates in cryogenic environments has a density 800 times greater than gaseous hydrogen, making it advantageous for large-scale storage and transportation. However, continuous evaporation due to external heat intrusion and internal heat generation poses challenges. To mitigate heat conduction, various insulation materials are used. In pipe systems, viscous heating effects from turbulence and viscosity, especially in bends, cause heat generation. This study employs computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to analyze the impact of fluid velocity, pressure drop, inner diameter, and curvature radius of pipe bends on viscous heating. Using liquid nitrogen at 77 K as a working fluid, the CFD results showed that increased velocity and pressure drop along with smaller inner diameter and curvature radius enhanced viscous heating, raising fluid temperature.
