Abstract

It is necessary to investigate the input power as well as the mass transfer characteristics of the aeration process in order to improve the energy efficiency of an aerobic water treatment. The objective of this study is to experimentally investigate the effect of orifice nozzle design and input power on the flow and mass transfer characteristics of a vertical two-phase flow. The mass ratio, input power, volumetric mass transfer coefficient, and mass transfer efficiency were calculated using the measured data. It was found that as the input power increases the volumetric mass transfer coefficient increases, while the mass ratio and mass transfer efficiency decrease. The mass ratio, volumetric mass transfer coefficient, and mass transfer efficiency were higher for the orifice configuration with a smaller orifice nozzle area ratio. An empirical correlation was proposed to estimate the effect of mass ratio, input power, and Froude number on the volumetric mass transfer coefficient.

호기성 수처리 과정의 폭기에 소요되는 에너지의 이용효율을 높이기 위해서는 물질전달 특성뿐만 아니라 소요동력에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 본 논문은 수직 2 상 유동 및 물질전달 특성에 미치는 오리피스 노즐형상과 소요동력의 영향에 대한 실험적 연구를 목적으로 한다. 측정 변수들을 이용하여 유량비, 소요동력, 물질전달 계수 그리고 물질전달 효율을 산출하였다. 소요동력이 커지면 물질전달 계수는 증가하는 반면에 유량비와 물질전달 효율은 감소하였다. 무차원 면적비가 작은 오리피스 노즐의 유량비, 물질전달 계수 및 효율이 높게 나타났다. 물질전달 특성에 미치는 유량비, 소요동력 그리고 프라우드 수의 영향을 평가하기 위한 실험식을 제시하였다.
