기포 펌프는 물과 공기 사이의 접촉 면적을 증가시켜 공기로부터 물로의 산소 용해를 높이는 기능을 가지고 있다. 이 연구에서는 기포 펌프에서 여러 가지 흐름 패턴을 설정하고, 이것을 근거로 하여 슬립모델을 확립하여, 기포 펌프의 산소 용해 특성을 조사하였다. 이 연구에서 수행한 실험 결과로부터, 산소 전달 계수는 흐름 패턴(기포 흐름, 기포-슬러그 흐름, 슬러그 흐름)에는 상당한 영향을 받았으나, 시료수의 오염 정도에 따른 영향은 그다지 크지 않음을 확인하였다. 그리고, 산소 전달양은 레이놀즈 수에 비례하여 증가하며, 산소 전달면을 증가시키기 위해서는 에어 스톤이나 디퓨저의 이용이 매우 효과적임을 확인하였다. 또한, 표면 활성 물질은 물의 오염 정도나 흐름 패턴에 관계없이 산소 전달에 큰 영향을 미침을 알 수 있었다.

Sub-cooling of cryogenic propellant by helium injection is one of the most effective methods for suppressing bulk boiling and keeping sub-cooled liquid oxygen before rocket launch. In order to design the cooling system, understanding of the limitations of heat and mass transfer is required. In this paper, an analytical model for the helium injection system is presented. This model's main feature is the representation of bubbling system using finite-rate heat transfer and instantaneous mass transfer concept. With this simplified approach, the effect of helium injection to liquid oxygen system under several circumstances is examined. Experimental results along with simulations of single bubble rising in liquid oxygen and bubbling system are presented with various helium injection flow rates, and with change of oxygen chamber pressure.

Copper concentrate particles were fed from the top of vertical reaction tube of 2.8 cm ID and 65 cm long with an $O_2$-$N_2$ gas mixture. The reaction tube was heated to 1000 K to 1400 K. The copper concentrate particles were very rapidly oxidized and melted down during their descent in the reaction tube. The particle temperature were calculated by combining an unreacted core model, mass transfer between gas and particles, and heat transfer between gas, particles and tube wall. The particle temperature reached its maximum at the height of 20 to 30 cm from the top of the reaction tube, and it attained about 1700 K at higher oxy-gen partial pressure. The most particles were melted at the oxygen partial pressure above 0.2 atm.

The concentration breakthrough curves were examined to predict mass transfer coefficients of nitrogen and oxygen in adsorption column for design data of PSA process. Experimental breakthrough curves for bulk gas flow were compared with theoretical simulation results. For quantitative analysis of the adsorption, coupled Langmuir isotherm was considered and LDF model was used to describe the mass transfer effect. In the experimental and theoretical results, it was found that mass transfer coefficient was not affected by flow rate but strongly affected by pressure. As a result of this tendency, mass transfer resistance in this system was proved to belong to the macropore diffusion controlling region and the mass transfer coefficients could be expressed by exponential functions of pressure change. The mass transfer coefficients for one component, nitrogen or oxygen, were successfully applied to breakthrough curves for bulk mixed gases. The experimental curves were reasonably in consistent with the theoretical curves and the error time was less than 5 percent.

The modeling of thermodynamic non-idealities and transport anomalies is a crucial prerequisite to realistically simulate the mixing and combustion processes of liquid propellants injected above critical pressures. This study has developed a specific set of subroutines to calculate the thermodynamic and transport properties based on the generalized cubic equation of state (EoS) in a coupled manner with the standard chemical kinetics packages (Chemkin). The existing flamelet analysis code is extended with the real-fluid package and applied to numerical investigation of local flame structures of kerosene and liquid oxygen at high pressure conditions relevant to the actual rocket engines.

This study was conducted to elucidate mixing characteristics of the media to dertermine hydraulic model parameters of the three phase fluidized bed for the water quality management of aquaculture. The volume and H/D ratio of the reactor were 1.76 Liter and 10.9, respectively. The experimental results showed that variance $(\sigma^2)$ and dispersion number $(D/{\mu}L)$ were above 0.47 and $0.35\~\infty$, respectively. Therefore, the condition of the reactor was almost ideal complete mixing. The dependence of the overall oxygen-transfer coefficient $(K_{La})$ on each experimental variables through a multple linear regression was given by the following equation ; $$K_{La}\;=\;44.9(D_i/D_c)^{-0.4611}\;A_f^{0.8622}\;C_m^{-0.0746}\;d_p^{-0.4302}$$

Localized hypoxia, due to the diminished $O_2$supply, is reported to cause necrosis of the arterial cell and to significantly decrease resistances to physiologic distending pressures. In the present study, in order to understand the mechanism of localized hypoxia which might result in the rupture of the aneurysm. $O_2$ transport phenomena across intraluminal thrombus in axisymmetric aneurysms under steady laminar flow condition were numerically analyzed using the Fick's law and the analogy with the fluid-solid heat transfer. For computational models, varying the thickness of intraluminal thrombus, numerical results showed that for the axisymmetric aneurysm with intraluminal thrombus. $O_2$ concentration became minimal at the aneurysm wall. With increased thickness of the intraluminal thrombus in the aneurysm. regions of low $O_2$ concentration were widely distributed near the aneurysm wall, which resulted in the possibility of localized hypoxia. The present study verifis that intraluminal thrombus influences $O_2$ transport to the aneurysm wall. depending on its size and structure.

Reaction characteristics and kinetics of a oxygen carrier (OCN717-R1SU) for chemical looping combustion (CLC) have been investigated using TGA by changing gas concentration (10-30 vol.% $CH_4$) and reaction temperature ($825-900^{\circ}C$). Reaction rate of OCN717-R1SU increased as temperature increased and it was found that reaction is delayed at the initial reaction regime. Johnson-Mehl-Avrami (JMA) model was adopted to explain the reaction phenomenon. The activation energy (E) determined by JMA model in reduction reaction of OCN717-R1SU is $151.7{\pm}2.03kJ/mol$ and pre-exponential factor and JMA exponent were also obtained. The parameters calculated in this study will be applied in design of the reactor and operation conditions for CLC process.

This paper proposes an efficient two-dimensional simulation model for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) based on the electrochemical effectiveness model. The effectiveness model is known to accurately predict the current generation performance of SOFC electrodes, by considering the complex reaction/transport processes that occur within thin active functional layers near the electrolyte. After validation tests, the two-dimensional simulation model was used to calculate the distribution of current density and oxygen concentration transverse to the flow channel in anode-supported SOFCs, with which the oxygen depletion characteristics were investigated in detail. In addition, simulations were also conducted to determine the minimum number of grids required in the transverse direction to efficiently obtain accurate results.

Microbubbles oxygen transfer to water was simulated based on experimental results obtained from the bubbles generation operated under varying liquid supply velocity to the multi-step orifices of the generator. It had been known that liquid supply velocity and bubble size are inversely related. In the oxygen transfer, a non-steady state was assumed and the pseudo stagnation caused the slow movement of bubbles from the bottom to the water surface. Two parameters were considered for the simulation: They represent a factor to correct the pseudo stagnation state and a scale which represented the amount of bubbles in supply versus time. The sum of absolute error determined by fitting regression to the experimental results was comparable to that of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) model, which is based on concentration differential as the driving force. Hence, considering the bubbles formation factors, the simulation process has the potential to be easily used for applications by introducing two parameters in the assumptions. Compared with the ASCE model, the simulation method reproduced the experimental results well by detailed conditions.
