In this study, a new model for calculating the liquid film thickness and condensation heat transfer coefficient in a vertical condenser tube is proposed by considering the effects of gravity, liquid viscosity, and vapor flow in the core region of the flow. In order to introduce the radial velocity profile in the liquid film, the liquid film flow was regarded to be in Couette flow dragged by the interfacial velocity at the liquid-vapor interface. For the calculation of the interfacial velocity, an empirical power-law velocity profile had been introduced. The resulting liquid film thickness and heat transfer coefficient obtained from the proposed model were compared with the experimental data from other experimental study and the results obtained from the other condensation models. In conclusion, the proposed model physically explained the liquid film thinning effect by the vapor shear flow and predicted the condensation heat transfer coefficient from experiments reasonably well.

This paper compared selectivities and mass transfer rates of valuable aromatics (naphthalene group: carbon number 10-12) in the light cycle oil obtained from solvent extraction (SE) with those obtained from liquid membrane permeation (LMP). An aqueous solution of dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) and an aqueous solution of saporrin and DMSO were used as extraction solvent of SE and the membrane phase of LMP, respectivdy. Selectivities of naphthalene group in reference to n-nonane obtained from SE runs were rapidly increased with decreasing the operating temperature, whereas, those obtained from LMP runs were remained constant throughout the operating temperature. At room temperature, selectivities of naphthalene group obtained from SE were greater than those from SE. Furthermore, mass transfer rates of naphthalene group by SE and LMP were measured in a baffled batch stirred vessel. It was found that the extraction rates of SE were faster by about 280 times than the permeation rates of LMP.

O/W/O(oil in water in oil)형 유화액막에 의한 2성분 탄화수소 혼합물인 toluene-cyclo hexane의 분리에 있어서 투과율, 막의 안정성과 분리계수에 미치는 영향을 계면활성제 농도, emulsion과 용매와의 교반속도 등을 변수로 하여 실험하였다. 계면활성제의 농도가 증가함에 따라 투과율은 증가하는데 0.5wt% 이상에서는 증가율이 둔화 되었다. 막 파괴율은 0.1wt%에서 가장 낮게 나타났으며, 그 이상에서는 농도가 증가하면서 파괴율도 증가하였다. 또한 분리계수는 계면활성제의 농도가 0.5wt%에서 가장 높게 나타났다. 에멀젼 제조 시 교반속도 변화에서는 투과율이나 막 파괴율에 큰 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 막 강화제의 농도가 증가함에 따라 투과율은 감소하였고, 에멀젼과 용매의 접촉 시 교반속도가 증가 할수록 막 파괴율도 증가하였다.

A mathematical model was proposed to describe the behavior of the liquid emulsion membrane(LEM) conraining sodium carbonate as internal stripping reagent. Experimental results of the batch extraction of lactic acid were compared with computed results by using the model. it was found that the model computations could predict fairly well the effects of parameter variations such as the carrier concentration, the stripping reagent concentration, the stirrer speed and the treatment ratio. An attempt has been made to reduce emulsion swelling which is one of the main problem of LEM. As the additives for swelling control, liquid paraffin, n-decanol, cyclohexanone and Span 85 were used. All the additives that were investigated tend to reduce the quantity of swelling to some extent. Cyclohexanone was found not only to reduce the swelling but also to increase largely the acid transport rate.

Heat transfer characteristics of heat storing processes in paraffin-filled horizontal circular cylinder is studied. The unmelted solid paraffin is allowed to fall on the bottom wall under gravity. In the upper liquid phase, natural convection is considered to take place while in the lower liquid film between the solid paraffin and the wall conduction is thought to take place instead. Experimental analyses are also carried out. The amount of the latent heat stored is obtained by recording the time wisely changing side area of the solid paraffin photographically. The mass of paraffin melted in the upper section is obtained by substracting the amount of melted mass in the lower section from the total mass melted and therefrom variation of heat transfer rate in each section is studied.

It is very important to understand about mass flow rate variations of propellants generated by pressure fluctuation in the combustion chamber. Therefore, we have studied quantifying the variation of mass flow rate generated by pressure fluctuation. The flow velocity in orifice is acquired through theoretical approach after measuring the pressure in orifice and the flow area in orifice is measured by film thickness measuring device. Our results agreed with it in the very small error range comparing our results with velocity and mass flow rate in steady state. Thus, our result based on theoretical approach will help about measuring mass flow rate in non-steady state.

The maximum spreading is the maximum extent to which a drop can spread after impacting on a surface. It is one of the crucial factors determining the spraying performance in many applications. In this study, the existing maximum spreading models for a Newtonian liquid droplet impacting on a dry solid surface were reviewed and compared with the experimental results over the ranges of $4{\leq}Re{\leq}11700$, $23{\leq}We{\leq}786$, and $37.9^{\circ}{\leq}{\theta}_s{\leq}107.1^{\circ}$. The surface wettability was found to have only a minor influence on the maximum spreading, compared to the liquid viscosity and impact velocity. Among the models tested, the Roisman (2009) model showed the best agreement with the experimental results, matching 80% of the measured data within ${\pm}5%$.

This study is concerned with the treatment of dye wastewater by carrier meditated emulsion liquid membrane. Optimum conditions for the removal of anionic dye and cationic dye by the emulsion liquid membrane(ELM) containing Aliquat 336 or D2EHPA were obtained in the batch operation, an actual dye wastewater was tested under these conditions. Dye reagents used were Sirius Red(Direct dye), Reactofix Supra Blue(Reactive dye), and Apollo Blue(Basic dye). The experimental variables were surfactant(Span 80) and carrier(Aliquat 336 or D2EHPA) concentration in the membrane phase, the counter ion($Na_2SO_4$) concentration in the internal phase and the amount of emulsion. Extraction equilibrium arrived within 5 minutes after starting reaction and more than 95% of dye ion could be removed. The carrier concentration in the membrane phase was the most crucial for the removal efficiency, but other variables effected to the reaction time more than the removal efficiency. The dye wastewater was treated under the optimum conditions in two steps. The absorbance at 550nm of wastewater was decreased 0.53 to below 0.03 after 10 minutes treatment.

Among various water contaminents, organic compounds like phenol are difficult to be removed or destroyed by conventional methods under the unusual discharge conditions. The separation of phenol from aqueous solution has been carried out by several methods recently: absorption by an activated carbon, solvent extraction and liquid membrane technology. The liquid membrane based on water-oil emulsification has been tested as an alternative technology of the conventional technology. In this work, tri-n-butyl phosphate(TBP) and liquid polymers were examined as a liquid membrane in the supported liquid membrane(SLM). The feed concentration of phenol was varied and various types of liquid membranes were used to examine their effects on separation of phenol. It was found that TBP, polypropylene glycol 4000(PPG 4000) and polybutytene glycol 500(PBG 500) were proper carriers because mass transfer rates through them were much higher than or similar to that through methyl isobutyl ketone(MIBK) which was used as a conventional solvent in a solvent extraction process.

In this study, the spray characteristics of a pressure swirl atomizer classified into a liquid sheet-type swirl nozzle for Urea-SCR system were investigated experimentally with the variation of injection pressure. The length to diameter ratio ($l_o/d$) of the nozzle was 3.1, and the swirler was set inside the nozzle tip to give injecting fluid angular momentum. The injection duration of the nozzle was controlled by PWM (pulse width modulation) modes. The development processes of the spray were imaged by a 2-D PIV system, and the change of spray angle was measured. The atomization characteristics, including axial velocity and SMD, were measured using a 2-D PDA system with the injection pressures at room temperature and ambient pressure conditions. As the experimental results, the injection pressure had a significant impact on the spray structure showing a different shape around the spray leading edge, and the smaller SMD was observed with increasing injection pressures, which was similar to that of the previous work.
