For the optimal design of plasma facing components of a fusion reactor, thorough understanding of thermal behavior of high heat. nux components are required. The purpose of this research is to investigate the characteristics of heat flow and thermal stress in divertors which are exposed to high heat load varing with time and space-Numerical simulations of heat now and thermal stress for three types of diverter are performed using finite volume method and finite element method. Respectly, commercial FLUENT code are used in the heat flow simulation, and maximum surface temperature, temperature distribution and cooling rate are calculated. Commercial ABQUS code are used for calculating temperature distribution. thermal stress, strain and displacement. Through this computer simulation. design data for cooling system and Structural provided.

Cholesterol is a vital component of the human body. It stabilizes cell membranes and is the precursor of bile acids, vitamin D and steroid hormones. However, cholesterol accumulation in the bloodstream (hypercholesterolemia) can cause atherosclerotic plaques within artery walls, leading to heart attacks and strokes. The efficiency of cholesterol absorption in the small intestine is of great interest because human and animal studies have linked cholesterol absorption with plasma concentration of total and low density lipoprotein cholesterol. Cholesterol absorption is highly regulated and influenced by particular compounds in the food supply. Therefore, it is desirable to learn more about natural food components that inhibit cholesterol absorption so that food ingredients and dietary supplements can be developed for consumers who wish to manage their plasma cholesterol levels by non-pharmacological means. Food components thus far identified as inhibitors of cholesterol absorption include phytosterols, soluble fibers, phospholipids, and stearic acid.

The finite element method is employed in conjunction with micromechanical modelling in order to assess the performance of ceramic thermal barrier coatings applied to structural components. The study comprises the conditions of the deposition of the coating by plasma spraying as well as the thermal cycling of the coated component, and it addresses particularly turbine blades. They are exposed to high temperature changes strongly influencing the behaviour of the core material and inducing damage in the ceramic material by intense straining. A concept of failure analysis is discussed starting from distributed microcracking in the ceramic material, progressing to the formation of macroscopic crack patterns and examining their potential for propagation across the coating. The theory is in good agreement with experimental observations, and may therefore be utilized in proposing improvements for a delayed initiation of failure, thus increasing the lifetime of components with ceramic thermal barrier coatings.

The thermal plasma process has excellent characteristics such as high temperature, high chemical activity and rapid quench, and has been applied to various fields. In this review, we briefly describe the characteristics for the process and the system components for producing ultra-fine powders including metal, ceramic, and composites. The key technology for the process will be discussed. We aimed to demonstrate the feasibility of the process for producing high quality ultra-fine powders using thermal plasma.

The hydrophobic coating for multi-walled nanotubes was treated with toluene and trimethylchlorosilane glow discharge plasma under low pressure, and the hydrophobic surface of the treated MWCNT was investigates. In order to investigate the effects of -CH components from the toluene and TMCS glow plasma, we conducted on the total surface free energies of the MWCNT powder, which was calculated by measuring the contact angle between the cushion of MWCNT powder and the probe liquids. The total surface free energies were determined by Owens-Wendt equation and drastically decreased.

An omegatron mass spectrometer was designed and fabricated. Experiments have been performed to demonstrate the instrument's operation in the ECR plasma device. By using this analyzer, mass spectra have been obtained in hydrogen plasmas, and typical results are presented. In the plasma omegatron, downstreaming plasma generated by ECR are entering the analyzer through a smsll floating aperture. We employ a biasing technique to reduce the ion velocity along the magnetic field and to keep the ions from drifting to the side pintos, and thus achieved improved ion collection and sensitivity. Mass spectra obtained show that main positive ion components are $H_3{^+}$ and $H_2{^+}$ with the density ratio of $H_2{^+}$ to $H_3{^+}$ $\simeq$ 0.2.

The increasing use of vehicles is causing air-pollution problems. Diesel vehicles are preferred to gasoline vehicles, because the diesel vehicles are superior to gasoline vehicles in terms of fuel consumption, durability, power and efficiency. But the emission reduction technologies for diesel vehicle are not developed well like those for gasoline vehicles. Moreover, the NOx and smoke emitted from diesel vehicle are recognized as a main source of the air-pollution in the urban areas. The emission reduction devices have been installed for each of the emission gas components. Using plasma(i.e. electrical energy)only, the emission gas was found to be reduced. The present paper investigate the effects of a low temperature plasma device in engine performance as well as in emission reduction with the change of the applied voltage and the loading rate of the engine.

A new high-performance liquid chromatographic method with column switching has been onto a Bondapak phenyl/corsil $(37-50{\;}{\mu}m)$ precolumn and polar plasma components were washed with 0.06 M borate burffer. After valve switching, the concentrated drug were eluted in the back-flush mode and separated on a ${\mu}-Bondapak$ C18 column with acetonitrilke-phosphate buffer as the mobile phae. The method showed excellent precision, accuracy and speed with detection limit of $0.01{\;}{\mug}/ml^{-1}$. Total analysis time per smaple was less than 20 min and the coefficients of variation for intra and inter-assay were less than 5.635. This method has been successfully applied to plasma smaples from eats after oral administration of omeprazole.

NOx, Soot and other exhausted components already became a dangerous state as principal materials of the air pollution. Therefore, the exhausted regulations are getting strict in the many countries. In this paper, reduction characteristic of NOx Soot and CO from diesel engine are investigated when MF plasma system is put to the diesel engine. NOx is decreased in all measured load and applied voltage to plasma reactor.

CO₂ electroreduction is considered as a means to overcome climate change by converting CO₂ into value-added chemicals and liquid fuels. Although numerous researchers have screened versatile metal for the use of electrodes, and looked into the reaction mechanism, it is still required to develop highly enhanced electrocatalyst for CO₂ reduction to reach beyond lab-scale. Plasma treatment applying onto the surface of meal electrodes could improve activity, selectivity and stability of the electrocatalysts. This review highlights the effect of plasma pretreatment, and provides insight to design suitable CO₂ electrocatalyst.
