Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) fermented foods were prepared from egg white powder (EWP), casein and growth stimulating agents (GSA). The effects of GSA on acid production and growth of Lactobacillus were studied. The effects of GSA on sensory properties and viscosity of LAB fermented foods were also studied. Acid production by Lactobacillus was stimulated by addition of GSA (0.3% or 1%, W/V). Although stimulating effect differed among each GSA, some GSA increased the acidity up to the level of fermented milk. However, stimulating effect of GSA on viable cells was not noticeable. Acid production by L. acidophilus was generally higher than other Lactobacilli. The optimum concentration of GSA added to substrate was 1% (W/V). Sensory evaluation showed that the optimum fermentation time was 18hr. The sensory properties of GSA samples were evaluated as slightly lower than that of fermented milk because GSA samples showed whey separation and taste and smell of GSA. Apparent viscosity of GSA samples was significantly lower than that of fermented milk and control sample (p<0.05). There was no significant difference of apparent viscosity among GSA samples. GSA samples, fermented milk and control sample showed thixotropic flow characteristics.

The objective of this study is to analyse the flow field in the branching duct by visualizing the flow phenomena using the PIV system. A bifurcation model is fabricated with transparent acrylic resin to visualize the whole flow field with the PIV system. Water was used as the working fluid and the conifer powder as the tracer particles. The single-frame and two-frame methods of the PIV system and 2-frame of the grey level correlation method are applied to obtain the velocity vectors from the images captured in the flow filed. The velocity distributions in a lid-driven cavity flow are compared with the so-called standard experimental data, which was obtained from by 4-frame method in order to validate experimental results of the PIV measurements. The flow patterns of a Newtonian fluid in a branching duct were successfully visualized by using the PIV system and the sub-pixel and the area interpolation method were used to obtain the final velocity vectors. The velocity vectors obtained from the PIV system are in good agreement with the numerical results of the 3-dimensional branch flow. The results of numerical analyses and the PIV experiments for the three-dimensional flows in the branch ing duct show the recirculation zone distal to the branching point and the sizes of the recirculation length and height of the tow different methods are in good agreement.

The purpose of this study is to investigate experimentally the variation factors range having influence on the rheological properties of the combined self-compacting concrete according to materials quality, weighting error and site conditions. Two types cement (blast-furnace slag cement and belite cement), lime stone powder as binder and the optimum mix proportions in the preceded study are selected for this study. Also, variations for sensitivity test are as followings; (1) Concrete temperature 3 cases (2) Surface moisture of sand 5cases (3) Fineness modulus of sand 5cases (4) Specific surface of lime stone powder 3cases (5) Dosage of chemical admixture 5cases. Slump flow ($650{\pm}50mm$), 500 mm reaching time (($7{\pm}3sec$), V-type flowing time ($15{\pm}5sec$) and U-box height (min. 300 mm) are tested for sensitivity. As test results, the variations range for quality control are as followings. (1) Concrete temperature; $10{\sim}20^{\circ}C$(below $30^{\circ}C$) (2) Surface moisture of sand; $base{\pm}0.6%$ (3) Fineness modulus of sand; $2.6{\pm}0.2$ (4) Dosage of chemical admixture; $base{\pm}0.2%$ (5) Specific surface of lime stone powder $6000cm^2/g$. Compared with two types cement including based belite cement (binary type) and based slag cement (ternary type), the combined self-compacting concrete used belite cement type is most stable in the quality control because of high contents for lime stone powder and $C_2S$. It is to propose a control scheme of the combined self-compacting concrete in the actual construction work.

The numerical simulation method was utilized to investigate the optimal condition for synthesizing ultrafine SiC powders by using $TMS[Si(CH_3)_4]-H_2$ gaseous mixtures in the horizontal reactor. As a result of the theoretical analysis, the conversion percentage of TMS source was increased with increasing reaction temperature, however, which was decreased with increasing H$_2$flow rate. Though the SiC particles concentration synthesized was decreased with increasing the reaction temperature due to the higher collision rate in the gas phase, they were increased with increasing the H$_2$flow rate and TMS concentration. The SiC particle size showed a tendency to become larger as the reaction temperature and the initial TMS concentration were increased and smaller as the H$_2$ flow rate was increased. The variation of experimental particle size with the reaction temperature, H$_2$flow rate and TMS concentration was agreed with the theoretical results.

Model materials are developed to achieve similarity of flow patterns for mild steels in forming processes at high temperatures. The model materials consist of pure plasticine and one or two additives such as resin and lanolin. To verify the similarity of flow patterns between physical modeling and compression of mild steels at high temperatures, ring and compression tests have been carried out with the developed-model materials at various strain rates, temperatures and lubricants. The test results are in good agreement with the flow patterns obtained from upsetting of a mild steel at high temperatures.

Hot torsion tests were conducted to investigate the high temperature deformation behavior of $Al_{85}Ni_{10}Y_5$ alloy extrudates fabricated with amorphous ribbons. The powder metallurgy routes, hot pressing and hot extrusion were used to fabricate the extrudates. Thermal properties of amorphous ribbons with different thickness as a function of aging temperature were studied by thin film x-ray dif-fraction (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry(DSC). The Al phase crystallite firstly formed in the amorphous ribbons and its crystallization temperature($T_x$)Was ~210${\circ}C$ During the processings of consolidation and extrusion, nano-grained structure(~100 nm) was formed in the Al85Ni10Y5 alloy extrudates. The as-extrudated Al85Ni10Y5 alloy and the $Al_{85}Ni_{10}Y_5$ alloy annealed at 250${\circ}C$ for 1 hour showed a flow curve of DRV(dynamic recovery) during hot deformation at 400-550${\circ}C$. On the other hand, the $Al_{85}Ni_{10}Y_5$ alloy annealed at 400${\circ}C$ for 1 hour showed a flow curve of DRX(dynamic recrys-tallization) during hot deformation at 450-500${\circ}C$. Also the flow stress and flow strain of the $Al_{85}Ni_{10}Y_5$ alloy extrudate annealed at 400${\circ}C$ were higher than those at 250${\circ}C$.

The forward dissolution rate of a borosilicate waste glass was determined as an interlaboratory study(ILS) testing program for the evaluation of precision in the measurement of the dissolution rate or a waste glass using a single-pass flow-through(SPFT) test, whose conducting practice has been written for standardization through American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). A simulated low-activity waste glass powder with a size of 100/200 mesh was dissolved by lithium buffer solution (pH=10) at 70? under Ar atmosphere. By plotting the dissolution rates as a function of silicon and boron concentration in eluate, the forward dissolution rate of the glass was obtained as about $2.7\times10^{-5}g{\cdot}m{\cdot}s^{-1}$ in our laboratory.

This study describes to analyze the pressure drop characteristics for the air-particle flow in pneumatic coal powder conveying system and to proper design of the orifice located in the system to enhance combustion efficiency in furnace of the coal-fired power plant. Usually the system consists of the straight type pipe, the curved type pipe and the elbow, which cause increase of the pressure drop. In this study, the pressure drop arised in the system with straight and curved type pipes is analyzed with interactions of motion of air flow and particles. It is realized that total pressure drop increases with increasing of the pipe length and the angle of curved type pipe due to friction loss of air and particles in the system. The program for analysis of the pressure drop and optimum design of the orifice size for air flow control in the system is developed. The result is also compared with the existing system.

This study is to investigate experimentally the influence of mixing factors, such as a mortar mix proportion of non-cement mortar, flow, and W/B, on quality characteristics of blast furnace slag powder mortar incorporating dry type recycled fine aggregates. In the characteristics of fresh mortar, the W/B increased according to the increase in the flow due to the increase in water contents, but air contents decreased due to loss of air contrary to the increase in the W/B. In the case of hardened mortar, the compressive strength showed a decrease due to the highly determined W/B inversely according to the increase in the flow through the entire age in which the compressive strength increased proportionally according to the increase in the B/W. Also, the increasing rate of such compressive strength increased more largely due to the latent hydraulic property of the BS according to the passage of the age. The flexural strength at the age of 28 days according to the increase in the B/W represented a similar level in strength values without any increases. The flexural strength for the compressive strength was distributed as a range of 1/2 ~ 1/3 and that showed a higher range than that of conventional concretes.
