The effect of agitation on the dispersion of organic phase was investigated in an immiscible liquid system (n-hexane/40 wt % p-TSA aqueous solution). Four different types of six-bladed turbine impellers were used : a flat blade type and three screen blade types. The experimental results showed that the extent of dispersion of organic phase at the same agitation speed was decreased in the order of flat blade, 60 mesh, 40 mesh, and 20 mesh screen blades. Otherwise, it was increased with increasing the concentration of TBA as a surfactant agent and with decreasing volume fraction of organic phase. Also, the minimum agitation speed for a complete dispersion was increased in the order of flat blade, 60 mesh, 40 mesh, and 20 mesh screen blades. However, the minimum power consumption did not vary significantly. In this condition, the relationship between Power number and Reynolds number was expressed as $N_p=a\;N_{Re}{^b}$, where the values of constant a and constant b were ranged 2200~4100 and -0.69~-0.63 respectively.

Al계 베어링합금은 소착저항력등의 베어링특성이 우수하여 최근에 자동차의 엔진부품에 많이 사용되고 있다. Al계 베어링합금으로는 Al-Sn계, Al-Pb계, Al-Si계 합금이 개발되어 사용되어 왔다. Al-Si계 합금은 높은 강도, 우수한 부식성, 주조성이 향상되는 장점등을 갖고 있다. 또한 Al-Pb계 합금은 Pb가 고체윤활제로 작용하여 소착저항성이 높으며 가격도 저렴한 장점을 갖고 있다. Al과 Pb는 용융상태에서 넓은 용융간극을 갖어 중력편석을 일으키기 때문에 일반적인 주조방법으로 Al계 베어링합금을 제조할 수없다. 또한 Al에 Si이 첨가됨에 따라 높은 경도등의 기계적성질의 향상이 얻어지지만 Al 기지에 Si의 함량이 증가할 수록 편석이 심해져 조대한 Si-rich상이 미세조직에 존재하여 합금이 취약해지는 단점을 갖고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 Al 기지에 Pb의 중력편석을 최소화하고 Al 기지에 조대한 Si-rich상이 생성되는 것을 막기 위하여 Al과 Pb가 공존하는 온도구역에서 높은 교반속도로 용탕을 강제교반하여 액상에서 Pb와 Si을 미세하게 분산시킨 후 수냉되는 동주형에서 급속응고시켜 Pb와 Si-rich 상이 균일하게 분포된 Al계 베어링합금을 제조하였다. 본 연구에서는 Pb의 양을 0%에서 35%까지 변화시켰으며, Si의 양을 0%에서 20%까지 변화시켜서 베어링합금을 제조하였으며, 강제교반속도는 500rpm에서 2500rpm 까지 변화시켜 베어링합금을 제조하였다.

This study has been conducted to scrutinize agitation effects of an ultrasonic standing wave on the dynamic behavior of methane/air premixed flame. The propagating flame was caught by high-speed Schlieren images, through which local flame velocities of the moving front were analyzed in unprecedent detail. It is revealed that the propagation velocity agitated by the ultrasonic standing wave is greater than that without agitation at the stoichiometric ratio: the velocity enhancement diminishes as the equivalence ratio approaches upper flammability limit or lower flammability limit. Also, vertical locations of the wave-affected frontal distortions do not vary appreciably, unless the propagating-mode characteristics (pressure amplitude and driving frequency) of ultrasonic standing wave were not changed.

In order to determine the optimal conditions for the process of acetic acid fermentation, the kinetics of Acetobacter aceti fermentation in submerged batch cultures were studied at different agitation speeds and air flow rates. The maximum cell concentration was noted after about 48 hr fermentation and the time course of Acetobactey aceti fermentation showed a distinct feature of growth-associated product formation. At agitation speeds 700, 500, and 300 rpm fixed on air flow rate 1 v/v/M, specific grow rates were $3.97\times10^{-2},\;3.82\times10^{-2},\;and\;2.04\times10^{-2\} \;hr^{-1}$, saturation constants were 61.4, 64.6, and 69.4mg/ml. and volumetric oxygen transfer coefficients were 0.9337, 0.4468, and 0.1701 $min^{-1},$ respectively. At air flow rates 1.25, 1.00, and 0.75 v/v/M fixed on agitation speed 500 rpm, specific growth rates were $3.90\times10^{-2},\;3.82\times10^{-2},\;and\;2.37\times10^{-2}\;hr^{-1}$, saturation constants were 63.4, 64.6, and 64.9 mg/ml, and volumetric oxygen transfer coefficient were 0.4923, 0.4468, and 0.3509 $min^{-1},$ respectively.

In this study, we report characteristics of friction stir welding (FSW) technique applied to Al-6005-T6 extruded sheets, which is a common material for railway car bodies. With the welding speed fixed at 300 mm/min, the revolution per minute (RPM) of the rotating tool was varied from 600 to 1800 RPM, with the aim at evaluating the resultant microstructure and mechanical behaviors. Comparison is also made with the conventional Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding technique. Unlike MIG, no micro-voids were observed for FSW specimens. Hardness measurement revealed that the increased heat input by increasing RPM results in widened heat affected zone (HAZ) and decreased hardness for HAZ due to grain coarsening. Hardness results for the nugget do no show difference. During tensile tests, specimens fractured at HAZ, and increasing rpm led to decrease of the yield stress and tensile stress for the selected RPM range, which is considered to be due to the grain coarsening for HAZ.

Friction stir welding was first reported by TWI(The Welding Institute) in 1991, and this welding method has been rapidly used in various industrial areas such railway, automobile, aerospace and shipbuilding industry. Here, we study core characteristics of friction stir welding (FSW) applied to Al 6005-T6 extruded sheets, which is the typical alloy used for railway car bodies. With the fixed welding speed of 500 mm/min, the rotating tool speed was varied from 600 to 1800 RPM. The results of hardness measurement revealed that the hardness of nugget area is ~70% with respect to the parent material, and for the selected range of rotation speed, no clear dependence was observed and the hardness values close to the parent materials were achieved for the area located 5 mm away from the welding interface. The tension test shows that yield strength and tensile strength were slightly decreased with increasing RPM, with no observed difference for the elongation.

The effects of environmental and compositon factors, such as reaction time, metal ions, pH, agitation speed, the weight ratio of water to oil, and the weight of enzyme, on the hydrolysis of oils by Lipase-OF were investigated. In case of oils with low melting point, the optimum temperature of hydrolysis were the enzyme activity was maximum was 37$^{\circ}C$. However, when the melting temperature was higher than 4$0^{\circ}C$, the optimum temperature was around the fusion temperature. The activity of Lipase-OF decreased very rapidly with increase of temperature in the range of higher than 45$^{\circ}C$ and the activity perished above $65^{\circ}C$. The effect of agitation speed was investigated from 150 to 650 rpm. The hydrolysis of oils increased as the agitation speed increased up to 350 rpm, but it did not increase any more above 350 rpm. The weight ratio of water to oil was changed from 1 : 9 to 9 : 1 for the investigation of the effect on the hydrolusis. The weight ratio for maximum hydrolysis was 1 : 1. $Ca^{2+}\;and\;Mg^{2+}$ among various metal ions had some effect on the stimulation of hydrolysis. The optimum concentration of the ions was about 100ppm at which the hydrolysis increased, compared with that of distilled water, by 2 to 3%. The Optimum pH of Lipase-OF was 7. The hydrolysis decreased as the pH decreased as the pH decreased and also decreased as the pH increased. The content of enzyme affected the hydrolysis of oil. The hydrolysis increased with the content of Lipase-OF in the range of less than 0.013 wt% of substrate. However, the increase of hydrolysis with the content of Lipase-OF ceased above 0.013 wt%. The experiments investigating the effect of environmental and composition factors on the hydrolysis of oils showed that the optimum temperature was 37$^{\circ}C$, the pH 7, the concentration of $Ca^{2+}\;or\;Mg^{2+}$ 100 ppm, the agitation speed 350 rpm, the weight ratio of water to oil 1 : 1, and the content of Lipase-OF 0.013 wt% of substrate.

A study approached the development of a process for efficiently recycling discarded cigarette butts, reported as a major source of microplastic pollution in aquatic environments. Cigarette butts were sorted to extract filters, and cellulose acetate, the raw material of the filters, was extracted to a high degree of purity. The sorting of filters from cigarette butts was conducted through both wet and dry processes, each with optimized sorting conditions. Wet stirring sorting considered factors such as solid-liquid ratio, stirring speed, and stirring temperature. The highest efficiency of wet stirring sorting, at 46.21%, was observed with a solid-liquid ratio of 1:45, stirring speed of 200 rpm, and stirring temperature of 50℃. Dry wind power sorting took into account moisture content and residence time. The filter sorting efficiency reached its peak at 57.10% with a moisture content of 20% and a residence time of 5 minutes. There was no significant difference in the recovery rate of cellulose acetate between the two sorting processes. Dry wind power sorting was deemed a more advantageous process in terms of energy and environmental considerations within the scope of this study.

The rates of mass transfer with the alkaline hydrolysis of ethyl acetate and n-butyl acetate were measured by using a modified Lewis cell. The rates of mass transfer with chemical reaction were independent of the speed of agitation, and the reaction enhancement factors were independent of the ionic strength. The second order reaction rate constants of ethyl acetate and n-butyl acetate could be obtained from an approximate solution of a diffusion equation by film theory, and their values were $0.041m^3/kg\;mol{\cdot}s$ and $0.338m^3/kgmol{\cdot}s$, respectively.
