To check feasibility of SEWGS(Sorption Enhanced Water Gas Shift) system, conceptual design and sensitivity analysis of operating variables have been investigated based on a design program of two-interconnected fluidized bed. Based on the conceptual design results, the optimum configuration for SEWGS was considered. Among three configurations, bubbling beds system was selected as the best configuration. Process design results indicate that the SEWGS system is compact and feasible. Based on the selected operating conditions, the effects of variables such as pressure, $CO_2$ capture capacity, solid inventory, CO conversion and $CO_2$ capture efficiency have been investigated as well.

This study addresses the phenomena of bubbling, icing, eruption, component varieties of the evaporated natural gas, and volumetric heat transfer coefficients obtained during the operation of a proposed LNG evaporator between LNG and water in direct contact. In the present investigation, the explosive and eruption phenomena within the water column were not observed during the entire operation of the heat exchanger. Compared with the natural gas produced by conventional LNG evaporator, the analysis of the gas produced by the direct contact LNG evaporator shows that nitrogen, methane, and ethane components were reduced by 0.002~0.007mol%(4~14%), 1.6~1.92mol%(1.9~2.3%) and 0.17~1.28mol%(1.1~8.4%) respectively, while the moisture content was rather increased by 0.51~0.76mol%. The maximum volumetric heat transfer coefficient of the direct contact heat exchanger was found to be $21, 800kW/m^3\cdotK$.

The increasing of atmospheric $CO_2$ are changing the pH (ocean acidification) and temperature of the sea. Although the effects of ocean acidification on calcifying organisms have well-documented, only a few studies have examined the combined effects of ocean acidification and elevated temperature. This study investigated the effects of ocean acidification and elevated temperature for 2100 on survival and growth of juvenile abalone, Haliotis discus hannai. Ocean acidification was simulated by bubbling $CO_2$ into seawater at concentrations of 1,000 and 1,500 ppm, and temperature was set at room temperature $+2^{\circ}C$. Neither $CO_2$ nor temperature had a significant effect on survival of abalone, while both significantly affected growth. There was no significant interaction between the two factors. Shell length can be used as a growth index of abalone to access the impacts of ocean acidification and elevated temperature.

The present work was undertaken to investigate the mutual effect of the individual melt treatment commonly applied in aluminum foundries such as grain refining, modification, degassing and filtration on the microstructures and the mechanical properties. A357 alloys were fabricated through various melt treatments such as degassing by gas bubbling filtration, modification via the addition of Al-Sr master alloy, grain refining through the addition of Al-Ti-B master alloy and filtration before pouring of the melt. Each melt treatment was performed at its optimum condition reported in the literatures. The effects of each melt treatment and their interactions on the microstructures and mechanical properties of A357 alloy were examined.

Circulating Fluidized Bed (CFB) is a technically and economically proven technology for boiler systems and large CFB coal boilers are making inroads into the domestic power boiler market. For biomass gasification, it is also considered as a very promising technology for commercial. Due to the lack of experiences of a large scale CFB gasifier, however, any large scale CFB gasifiers are hard to in Korea in spite of fast-growing demand of domestic market. In this study, a 3 $MW_{th}$ CFB gasifier was developed for biomass gasification. The CFB gasifier consists of interconnected fast and bubbling fluidized bed reactors including unique features for in-situ tar removal. Various numerical and experimental approaches will be presented such as basic modeling works, investigation of hydrodynamics with a cold model, computational particle fluid dynamics and experiments in the 3 MWth gasifier.

Bulk nanobubble is one of the nanoscopic gaseous state found in the solution. We measured transient absorption spectra of eosin Y in the excited triplet state ($^3EY^{2-*}$) to elucidate differences in the dissipation process of the bulk nanobubble of oxygen molecule at air pressure. The time dependence of the oxygen dissipation process was classified three time domains (P1, P2 and P3). The comparison of ordinary bubbling method gave different results at P3 in contrast to similar results at P1 and P2, indicating the existence of characteristic dissolving state in the case of nanobubble.

Constant rate permeat experiments using polyethylene hollow fiber membranes were conducted in order to treat dam water for potable purposes. The experiments consisted of two series. One series consisted of six bench scale apparatuses, each having a $0.4m^2$ nominal permeat area, which were applied in determining the optimum operating conditions. The other series was comprised of two pilot scale plant, each having a $40m^2$ nominal permeat area. Both series were operated for six months. Coagulant was not used in any of the experiments. To suppress an increase in differential pressure between the inlet and outlet of the membrane, a hydrophilic membrane was found to be better than a hydrophobic membrane. Also, permeat flux should not be more than 0.03m/h, and air bubbling-washing for 1 minute should be conducted at 180 minutes intervals or less.

To study the effect of IAA on the growth of Chlorella, the alage wre cultured on the media for six days by bubbling $_{2}$ enriched air under 10K lux at 20-$25^{\circ}C$. The culture media were made by adding a concentration of $10^{-3}$M, $10^{-4}$M, and 0M(as a control) IAA to the standard media. During the period of culture, Chlorella was smapled for the given time of interval and photosynthetic and respiratory activities were measured by Warburg manometer and change of chemical components of Chlorella was determined by spectrophotometry after the Chlorella cell was fractionated by Schmidt-Thannhauser method. 1) Photosynthetic and respiratory activities were enhanced by IAA ; especially the enhancement of respiratory activity was so remarkable. 2) As to the chemical components of Chlorella, carbohydrates and amino acids were reduced a little but phosphate, RNA, DNA, and protein were increased by $10^{-3}$M IAA ; the increase of RNA, in particular, was noticable. 3) The above results suggest that the enhancement of growth of Chlorella, by IAA and ATP induced by respiratory activity accelerated with IAA enhanced RNA synthesis, resulting in an increase of protein synthesis.

The water gas shift conversion catalyst prepared by the American Cyanamide Co. was subjected to fluidization in a 2-in. Pyrex glass tube to obtain the basic fluidization characteristic data. The size of the catalyst charged ranged from 70 to 120 meshes and it was supported on a single layer 300-mesh wire gauze through which the fluidizing medium, the air, was passed. Following are some data and facts found by the authors: (1) The catalyst particles were porous, and their surfaces were trough and irregular. (2) The average effective particle density and the average shape factor of these particles were 152.2 lb/$ft^3$ and 0.865 respectively. (3) As the particle diameter of the catalyst increased, the minimum fluid voidage of the bed decreased slightly. (4) Just before the incipient fluidization, pressure drop suddenly fell and the bed expanded simultaneously. (5) After fluidization set in, the expansion characteristics of the catalyst bed were similar to those of sand and glass beads except intense bubbling in the catalyst bed.

Neural networks are shown to be effective in being able to distinguish incomplete penetration-like weld defects by directly analyzing the plasma which is generated on each impingement of the laser on the materials. The performance is similar to that of existing methods based on extracted feature parameters. In each case around 93% of the defects in a database derived from 100 artificially produced defects of known types can be placed into one of two classes: incomplete penetration and bubbling. Especially we present simulator for weld defects classification and data analysis. The present method based on classification using plasma is faster, and the speed is sufficient to allow on-line classification during data collection.
