Hemicellulose extract obtained by pre-pulping extraction of woodchips, is very diluted acidic in nature. The major component responsible for this weak acidity is acetic acid, present in levels up to 5~10 g/L. Here, we report an exploratory study on the extract upgrading by reactive solvent extraction of acetic acid as well as ASPEN simulation. In this study, liquid-liquid equilibria for the ternary systems (water + acetic acid + ethyl acetate) were measured at the temperature of 298.15 K and 10 (pH = 2.02), 5 (pH = 2.17), and 1 (pH = 2.48) percent of acetic acid samples were used to carry out liquid-liquid extraction studies using ethyl acetate. In a one-stage batch experiment, 96.0% of acetic acid could be extracted for the solvent when the ratio of organic-to-aqueous phases is 4:1. For simulation results, they were used to estimate the interaction parameters between each of the three compounds of the systems studied for the NRTL and UNIQUAC models. The estimated interaction parameters were successfully used to predict the equilibrium compositions by the two models.

In this paper, we investigated dynamic behaviors of liquid crystal director profiles by simulating two different modeling equations based on vectorial and tensorial approaches. By performing 3-dimensional simulation for a unit pixel, we found that the simulation results from the each of modeling equations lead to different motional behaviors of liquid crystal directors around the disclination line. This is due to the fact that the vectorial approach has a physically meaningless sign of liquid crystal director ${\overline{n}}$. Consequently, it is clarified that the tensorial approach gives more realistic behaviors for the rotation of the directors around the disclination line when the voltages were removed since it maintains nematic symmetry that gives an equivalence of ${\overline{n}}$ and its opposite - ${\overline{n}}$.

In the present study, we propose Monte Carlo simulation that takes into consideration the interface phenomena between liquid crystal and substrate. We use rigid model molecules of liquid crystal and substrate. Interface is generated using potential field that induces decomposition of molecules. We use hard spherocylinders as model liquid crystal molecules. Substrate is modeled as region composed of shorter spherocylinders. Our results show that there is a case in which nematic order is reinforced in the vicinity of rubbed substrate.

This work applies the nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulation method to study a Lennard-Jones liquid thin film suspended in the vapor and calculates the thermal conductivity by linear response function. As a preliminary test, the thermal conductivity of pure argon fluid are calculated by nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulation. It is found that the thermal conductivity decrease with decreasing the density. When both argon liquid and vapor phase are present, the effects of the system temperature on the thermal conductivity are investigated. It can be seen that the thermal conductivity of liquid-vapor interface is constant with increasing the temperature

In this study, the air-fuel ratio(A/F) control characteristics of a liquid and a gaseous fueled engine are investigated. Engine models far both the liquid and the gaseous fueled engine are developed to compare the characteristics of fuel delivery into the cylinder, and the performances of the models are evaluated using the simulation and experiment. The simulation and experimental results show that the gaseous fueled engine has better control performance than that of the liquid fueled engine in terms of the air-fuel ratio control. This study could be used to develop air-fuel ratio control schemes for both the liquid and the gaseous fueled engine.

This work applies the equilibrium molecular dynamics simulation method to study a Lennard-Jones liquid thin film suspended in the vapor and calculates diffusion coefficients by Green-Kubo equation derived from Einstein relationship. As a preliminary test, the diffusion coefficients of the pure argon fluid are calculated by equilibrium molecular dynamics simulation. It is found that the diffusion coefficients increase with decreasing the density and increasing the temperature. When both argon liquid and vapor phases are present, the effects of the system temperature on the diffusion coefficient are investigated. It can be seen that the diffusion coefficient significantly increases with the temperature of the system.

As the LNG carrier operates in ice covered waters, it is key to ensure the overall safety, which is related to the coupling effect of ice-breaking process and internal liquid sloshing. This paper focuses on the sloshing simulation of the ice-breaking LNG carrier, and the numerical method is proposed using Circumferential Crack Method (CCM) and Volume of Vluid (VOF) with two main key factors (velocity νx and force Fx). The ship motion analysis is carried out by CCM when the ship navigates in the ice-covered waters with a constant propulsion power. The velocity νx is gained, which is the initial excitation condition for the calculation of internal sloshing force Fx. Then, the ship motion is modified based on iterative computations under the union action of ice-breaking force and liquid sloshing load. The sloshing simulation under the LNG tank is studied with the modified ship motion. Moreover, an ice-breaking LNG ship with three-leaf type tank is used for case study. The internal LNG sloshing is simulated with three different liquid heights, including free surface shape and sloshing pressure distribution at a given moment, pressure curves at monitoring points on the bulkhead. This present method is effective to solve the sloshing simulation during ice-breaking process, which could be a good reference for the design of the polar ice-breaking LNG carrier.
