A direct hydrogen liquefaction equipment has been developed and tested, which consists of a GM refrigerator, a liquefaction vessel, a radiation shield, a cryostat, and an ortho-para converter with catalyst. The effect of ortho-para hydrogen conversion on the performance of hydrogen liquefaction has been investigated. The time needed for the hydrogen liquefaction process with hydrogen pressure charge of 4 atm was delayed to around 75 minutes, and the liquefied mass flow rate of the hydrogen was about 0.0150∼ 0.0205 g/s when the hydrogen was liquefied with the direct hydrogen liquefaction system considering ortho-para conversion. With ortho-para conversion, the liquefied mass flow rate decreased up to 20%. Considering ortho-para conversion, there were up to 30% increase in the work input per unit liquefied mass flow rate. When the ortho-para conversion was considered, FOM decreased to be about 0.031∼0.045.

The ortho-para $H_2$ catalytic conversion equipment has been developed to reduce the evaporation loss from stored liquid hydrogen. The ortho-para $H_2$ conversion heat is evaluated at liquid nitrogen temperature. This problem is of particular interest in the design of the ortho-para $H_2$ converter in a hydrogen liquefaction system. The ortho-para $H_2$ conversion equipment consists of a catalytic converter, a precooler, and a liquid nitrogen bath. 30-90 cc of $Fe(OH)_3$ are employed as a catalyst in the present converter. The conversion heat and conversion effectiveness are evaluated when mass flow rate of hydrogen is in the range of 0.05-l.6 g/min. It is found that the ortho-para conversion heat is increased while conversion effectiveness is decreased as the mass flow rate of hydrogen is increased. Both the ortho-para conversion heat and conversion effectiveness are increased with an increase in the amount of the catalyst.

We have presented an ab initio model of the $2{mu}m$ spectral features of $(H_2)_2$ based on the far-infrared models of McKellar & Schaefer (1991). We have shown that the intensity variations of the $2{mu}m;(H_2)_2$ features depend on the ortho/para ratios of $H_2$ We have discussed the applicability of the variations to the atmospheres of the giant planets for the derivations of the ortho/para ratios. The signal to noise ratios of currently available spectra of the giant planets are not sufficient enough to derive accurate ortho/para ratios of these planets. Observations with longer exposure times and larger telescope apertures are required to obtain better spectra for the derivations of the ortho/para ratios of $H_2$ in the atmospheres of the giant planets.

The conversion reaction of ortho to para hydrogen was studied. The percentage of ortho and para hydrogen is mainly dependent on the equilibrium temperature. Because this reaction is known to be accelerated by the catalyst such as nickel-silicate and ruthenium on silica, we focused in the test and development of the catalysts. We studied metal-silicates because they provide high metal dispersion on support. Nickel-silicate, ruthenium-silicate and mixed-silicate were prepared by the coprecipitation method and used in the reaction at the temperature of liquid nitrogen. The conversion was measured by the difference of thermal conductivity between reference gas and sample gas. The activation condition was important and it affected the activities of the catalysts. Nickel-silicate showed high activities. Ruthenium-silicate also showed relative high activities but mixed-silicate showed poor activities.

This paper conducted a study on the ortho-para hydrogen conversion in the cryogenic heat exchanger filled with catalysts for hydrogen liquefaction by utilizing the numerical model of plate-fin heat exchanger considering catalytic reaction of ortho-para hydrogen conversion, heat and mass transfer phenomena and fluid dynamics in a porous medium. Various numerical analyzes were performed to investigate the characteristics of ortho-para hydrogen conversion, the effects of space velocity and activated catalyst performance.

During the liquefaction of hydrogen, the ortho hydrogen is converted into the para form with heat release that evaporates the liquefied hydrogen into the gaseous one backwards. The ortho-para conversion catalysts are usually used during liquefaction to avoid such boil-off. In order to compare and analyze the performance of the ortho-para hydrogen conversion catalysts, in-situ FT-IR device was designed and manufactured to measure the para hydrogen conversion rate in real-time. $LaFeO_3$ and $La_{0.7}Sr_{0.3}Cu_{0.3}Fe_{0.7}O_3$ perovskite catalysts were prepared by the citrate sol-gel method and their spin conversion characteristics from ortho to para hydrogen were investigated by in-situ FTIR spectroscopy at 17K. It was found that the spin conversion was affected by surface area, particle size, and crystallite size of the catalysts. Thus, the $La_{0.7}Sr_{0.3}Cu_{0.3}Fe_{0.7}O_3$ perovskite catalyst that had higher surface area, higher crystallite size, and smaller particle size than $LaFeO_3$ showed the better spin conversion property of 32.3% at 17K in 120min interaction with the perovskite catalysts.

수소의 일반적인 특성과 온도 변화에 따른 ortho-수소와 para-수소의 비율에 대하여 살펴보았다. 수소의 독특한 특성인 넓은 연소 영역, 낮은 점화 에너지, 낮은 최대역전온도 및 수소 취성을 소개하였다. 예냉과 팽창 엔진을 사용하는 액체 수소 제조 방법과 촉매를 이용한 ortho-para 변환을 살펴보았으며, 액체로켓 추진제로서의 특성과 고려해야 할 사항들을 검토하였다.

자연호소의 혐기성 저질을 특정한 chlorophenol(CP)에 적응시킨 후 다른 구조물 가진 CP에 대한 탈염소 특성을 검토하였다. CP에 노출되지 않는 혐기성 저질에서는 mono-CP의 경우 ortho > meta > para-염소의 손으로 di-CP의 경우는 ortho > par > meta- 염소의 순서로 짧은 지체기를 거친 후 탈염소가 발생하였다. Mono-CP 중 2-CP에 적응된 저질은 4-CP와 3,4DCP를 제외하고, 3-CP에 적응시킨 저질은 4-CP를 제외한 모든 시험물질에 대하여 지체기 없이 탈염소 특성을 나타내었다. DCP에 적응된 모든 저질은 2-CP, 2,3,-, 2,4-, and 3,4-DCP를 지체기 없이 탈염소가 발생하지 않았다. 이 결과에서 볼 때 mono-와 di-CP를 탈염소시키는 혐기성 미생물의 종류가 다양함을 알 수 있다.

The substituent dependence of geometric distortion through the two independent electronic substituent effects is analyzed for mono-substituted benzene derivatives of $C_{2v}$. Based on resonance structures, quantitative relationships expressing the resonance and field/inductive contribution terms in bond distortions are derived. The calculated field-effect parts of $C_{ipso}$_$C_{ortho}$ ring bonds increase and decrease compared to benzene for electropositive and electronegative substituents respectively. The nonbonded axial distance, $C_{ipso}$....$C_{para'}$ decreases for electronegative substituents and increases for electropositive substituents. As the electronegativity increases, the distance $C_{ortho}$....$C_{ortho'}$ increases. With the $\pi$-donors, $C_{meta}$....$C_{meta'}$ nonbonded distances are shorter compared to the ones of benzene, and for $\pi$-acceptors, the are longer. Our model based on valence bond approach predicts that the average bond length determined the area of ring, and the sum of the angles <$C_{ortho}$_$C_{ispo}$_$C_{ortho}$ and <$C_{meta}$_$C_{para}$_$C_{meta}$ determines the axial distance.

We observed the 2 mm ortho and para transitions of ${H_2}^{13}CO$ toward the Orion Molecular Cloud-1 using the 12 m NRAO telescope at Kitt Peak. Total column densities of $3{\times}10^{14}$ and $2.8{\times}10^{12}\;cm^{-2}$ have been derived at KL and the approximately 3 are minute north from the KL (3N) position, respectively. We discuss the abundances, ortho/para ratios and its chemical implications.
