20500 rpm에서 10분 교반까지 계면높이는 감소하였으나 10분 이상의 시간에서는 계면 높이가 증가하는 경향을 나타내었으며, 슬러지 농도도 10분까지 경향을 농축농도가 증가하지만 그 이상의 교반시간에서는 농도가 서서히 감소되는 경향을 나타내었다. Homogenizer의 교반에 의한 최적조건에서의 부상효율은 약 10%의 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. Image analyser로 교반하지 않은 경우와 교반한 경우 슬러지의 sauter mean diameter를 측정한 결과 각각 631 $\mu$m와 427 $\mu$m로 나타나 슬러지 플록의 입경이 줄어든 것으로 나타났다. 슬러지의 함수율은 10분의 교반시간까지 조금 감소하였으나 10분 이상의 교반시간에서는 슬러지 함수율이 증가하여 60분에는 99.1%까지 증가하였다.

Industrial mixers to homogeneously blend particulate materials have been developed and widely used in various industries. However, most industrial mixers have at most two-degree-of-freedom for the operation, which limits the range of operation parameter selection for optimal blending. This paper proposes a multi-degree-of-freedom robotic mixer designed by converging a conventional drum blender and a robotic manipulator and evaluated its performance in a virtual operating environment. Discrete element simulations were conducted for mixing performance evaluation. The numerical results showed that the proposed mixer design exhibits a better mixing performance than conventional ones.

Hydrogen in atmosphere can easily dissolve in melt of light metal alloys. Increasing demand for recycling of light metal a alloys has, therefore, focused attention on the removal of hydrogen gas, and alloy addition in melt has become an imporLant r refining process. For this purpose behaviors of mixing and hydrogen degassing in impeller agitated refming vessel with/without barnes were investigated. Flow patterns, mixing time behavior and kinetics of degassing in various agitating conditions were analysed in watet model experiments. And, numerical analysis on turbulent flow pattern in impeller agitated vessels was performed.

마찰교반접합(Friction Stir Welding)은 1991년 영국 TWI에서 개발된 접합 법으로서 일정한 속도로 회전하는 툴이 재료내부에 삽입 되면서 툴과 재료사이에서 마찰열이 발생하여 연화된 재료와 접합 툴 사이에서의 기계적 교반에 의해 소성변형이 일어남과 동시에 접합이 이루어진다. 마찰교반접합은 동적 재결정에 의한 접합부의 미세한 결정립 형성으로 인하여 기계적 특성이 향상되며 보호 가스가 필요 없어 친환경적임과 동시에 용융 용접 법에 비해 접합 시 에너지 소모가 적다는 장점이 있다. 마찰교반접합은 기존의 저융점 재료에 관한 접합을 넘어서 최근에는 철계 합금, 타이타늄 합금, 니켈계 합금 등 고융점 재료에서의 적용에 관한 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 하지만 마찰교반접합을 이용하여 위와 같은 강한 재료를 접합하기 위해서는 내구성이 갖추어진 툴이 반드시 수반된다. 슈퍼 오스테나이트계 스테인리스강은 염화물의 농도가 높은 부식 환경에 적용되는 소재로서, 공식(pitting corrosion) 및 틈부식 (crevice corrosion)에 대한 내식성을 높이기 위하여 Mo의 함량을 6%로 낮추고 20~25% Cr과 Ni을 첨가하여 사용된다. 이러한 고합금의 슈퍼 오스테나이트계 스테인리스강은 여타 내식성 합금에 비하여 내식성이 매우 우수한 것으로 알려져 있다. 최근 SO2 배출에 대하여 규제가 강화되면서 화력 발전소용 탈황 설비 중 일부 장비에서 6% Mo가 첨가된 슈퍼 오스테나이트계 스테인리스강의 사용이 늘어나고 있다. 본 연구에서는 $Si_3N_4$ 툴을 사용하여 Mo이 6% 첨가된 슈퍼 오스테나이트계 스테인리스강인 1925hMo강을 마찰교반접합하였다. 툴 회전속도 (200rpm, 300rpm, 460rpm, 700rpm)를 변수로 하여 접합을 실시하였다. 접합 후 외관상태를 점검하였으며 광학현미경 (optical microscope)과 주사전자현미경 (scanning electron microscope)을 사용하여 미세조직 관찰을 하였으며 경도 및 인장강도 측정 등의 실험을 통하여 접합부의 기계적 특성을 평가하였다. 그 후 이러한 결과를 통하여 미세조직과 기계적 특성과의 관련성을 조사하였다.

This study was performed to investigate the concentration variation of airborne bacteria and endotoxin by the temperature in the compost pile in order to identify the generation characteristics of biological factors in the exhaust gases generated from lab-scale sludge compositing reactors (0.06 $m^3$ of total reactor volume). Airborne bacteria showed the highest concentration of generation ($1.03{\times}10^5\;CFU/m^3$) in the composting reactor without mechanical agitation, and similar change tendency to temperature variation of composting, but somewhat lower statistical significance (p>0.05). In the compost reactor with mechanical agitation, endotoxin showed similar generation characteristic to temperature variation of composting (statistical significance; p<0.05) and the highest generation concentration to 1,415 EU/$m^3$. Mechanical agitation of the composting process affected activity of microorganism and positive generation of endotoxin in exhaust gases. Endotoxin and airborne bacteria showed similar tendency of generation, especially the highest statistical correlation was observed in the compost reactor without mechanical agitation (statistical significance: p<0.01).

Recently, extruded aluminium-alloy panels have been used in the car bodies in order to meet the needs for the speed-up and light-weight of the railway vehicles. Most of the car bodies were jointed by arc weldings, like GMAW (GasMetal Arc Welding) and GTAW (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding), but these weldings became fairly worse the mechanical properties of the junction than the base metal. Nowadays, FSW (Friction Stir Welding), which is superior to the arc weldings, has been applied in the railway vehicles. In this study, the mechanical properties of the joints in both FSW and GMAW for A6005 extruded aluminium-alloy sheets have discussed. In addition, the relationships between the welding conditions and the mechanical properties for the joint of FSW have analyzed through the sensitivity analysis. It can be concluded that the mechanical properties for the joint of FSW are better than those of GMAW and the welding speed is the most sensible welding condition in the process of FSW.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of mechanical factors such as agitation speed and air rate in fly ash flotation. Specifically, we used thermal power plant fly ash with unburned carbon content of 3.4 to 3.7%. The effect of pH, agitation speed, collector dosage, and frother dosage - the key factors of froth flotation - showed unburned carbon recovery and unburned carbon content of 63% and 34%, respectively, when the dosage of safflower oil used as collector was 800 g/ton, pH was 7, agitation speed was 1,200 rpm, and frother dosage was 400 g/ton. The SEM/EDS analysis of fly ash in that case indicated that the spherical fly ash particles lowered the unburned carbon content as they floated with the air bubbles without being dissolved in the unburned carbon or settled in the ore solution. The other experiment of changing the mechanical factors such as agitation speed and air rate resulted in unburned carbon recovery and unburned carbon content of 74% and 67%, respectively, at air rate of 8 L/min and agitation speed of 900 rpm. The recovery and unburned carbon content increased as the low agitation speed and additional air injection decreased the strength of the eddy current in the ore solution and consequently prevented the floating of fine fly ash particles with unburned carbon. In addition, the recovery rate and unburned carbon increased further to 80% and 70%, respectively, showing the best performance when the agitation speed and air rate were lowered to 800 rpm and 6 L/min, respectively.

Numerical study on the advection in a microchannel with multi blocks has been performed. the microchannel is simulated three-dimensionally using a commercial fluid analysis code, FLUENT 6.0. Geometric factors of blocks are used in analysing the mixing effect. the numerical results show that the height of blocks in the channel is a key factor. Further study is required to investigate mixing effect of the microchamel with various shapes.
