산업공정에서 널리 사용하는 반응기는 성질이 상이한 물질을 혼합하는 시스템으로서 본 연구에서는 이젝터(ejector)에 의한 반응기의 개발을 수행하였다. 액체-가스 이젝터는 구동유체에 의하여 기체가 흡입되면서 각종 유해가스를 제거하는 목적 또는 기체와 액체의 혼합 등 목적으로 사용된다. 본 실험에서 액체구동 가스혼합반응기의 실험 장치를 구축하고 이젝터 내부의 유동패턴과 기체용해도 자료를 도출하며 고효율 이젝터 설계를 위한 진공도 측정과 디퓨저 각도가 다른 이젝터의 실험 및 수치해석을 수행하였다. 이젝터의 성능은 흡입 측에서의 진공압력으로 평가되며 이 진공압력은 이젝터의 노즐 설계 및 유동조건에 의하여 결정되므로 이에 대한 기본적인 특성 도출이 선결되어야 한다. 순환유체의 유량이 70LPM, 80LPM 90LPM조건에서 두 가지 디퓨저에 대하여 비교실험을 수행하였다. 실험적 연구와 수치해석연구를 통하여 혼합성능과 이젝터의 내부유동특성에 대하여 고찰한 결과 디퓨저의 각도가 5.0도일 때 진공도가 더욱 높으며 구동액체의 유량이 작을 때는 진공도차이가 크지만 유량이 증가함에 따라 진공도 차이가 감소된다. 구동액체의 유량이 증가할수록 용존산소농도는 증가하며 디퓨저의 각도가 5.0도일 때는 용존산소 농도가 더 높게 나타나는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

An ejector is a type of non-powered pump that is used to supply a secondary flow via the ejection of a primary flow. It is utilized in many industrial fields, and is used for fueling the vehicle because of less failures and simple structure. Since most of ejectors in industry are gas-to-gas and liquid to gas ejector, many research activities have been reported in optimization of gas ejector. On the other hand, the liquid ejector is also applied in many industry but few research has been reported. The liquid ejector occurs cavitation, and it causes damage of parts. Cavitation has bees observed at the nozzle throat at the specified pressure. In this study, a two-dimensional axisymmetric simulation of a liquid-liquid ejector was carried out using five different parameters. The angle of the nozzle plays an important role in the cavitation of a liquid ejector, and the performance characteristics of the flow ratio showed that an angle of $35^{\circ}$ was the most advantageous. The simulation results showed that the performance of the liquid ejector and the cavitation effect have to be considered simultaneously.

In this study, the ejector design was modeled using Fluent 6.3 of FVM(Finite Volume Method) CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) techniques to resolve the flow dynamics in the ejector. A vacuum system with the ejector has been widely used because of its simple construction and easy maintenance. Ejector is the main part of the desalination system, of which designs determine the efficiency of system. The effects of the ejector was investigated geometry and the operating conditions in the hydraulic characteristics. The ejector consists mainly of a nozzle, suction chamber, mixing tube (throat), diffuser and draft tube. Liquid is supplied to the ejector nozzle, the fast liquid jet produced by the nozzle entrains and the non condensable gas was sucked into the mixing tube. The multiphase CFD modeling was carried out to determine the hydrodynamic characteristics of seawater-air ejector. Condition of the simulation was varied in entrance mass flow rate (1kg/s, 1.5kg/s, 2kg/s, 2.5kg/s, 3kg/s), and position of driving nozzle was located from the central axis of the suction at -10mm, 0mm, 10mm, 20mm, 30mm.. Asaresult, suction flow velocity has the highest value in central axis of the suction.

Ejector is a simple device which can transport a low-pressure secondary flow by using a high-pressure primary flow. The efficiency of the ejector system is relatively very low, compared to other fluid transport devices driven mainly by the forces acting on the normal direction. However, its major advantage is a simple structure with no moving parts, and it transports a large amount of fluid with a small driving energy. In this study, the performance of side-type liquid ejector commonly used in ships; is analyzed by using experimental and CFD methods under steady and incompressible flow condition by varying the length of the throat and diffuser, the flow pattern and suction phenomenon were studied in detail.

Liquid ejector is widely used for power plant water pump, marine pump and transportation of solid materials. It has high working confidence and simple configuration. However, It is not easy to know performance degradation of ejectors in field. When the geometry of ejector is complicate, the diagnosis of faults is required more skillful method without disassemble. This paper gives numerical method to predict cause of $45^{\circ}$ slurry suction ejector performance degradation.

Liquid ejectors are widely used as marine pumps, inducer stage for the boiler feed water pump, boiler recirculating pump, cooling water recirculating pump in boiling water type nuclear reactor and a deep well pump, because of their high working confidence and simplicity. Furthermore, it requires only a modest net positive suction head for cavitation-free operation and it can be installed in remote location from mechanical power source. It is not easy to presume the friction losses, because it is complicately affected by area ratio, flowrate ratio, nozzle spacing, throat length, shape of liquid ejector and so on. Therefore, the optimization of liquid ejector design is still dependent, to a large extent, on the experimental results and empirical procedures. On the design of the liquid ejector, the area ratio and the nondimensional throat length are the most important design factors among the mentioned above. In this experiment, the effects of the area ratio and the nondimensional throat length to ejector efficiency are carried out systematically by the combination of 4 kinds of motive nozzle and 2 kinds of throat length. In this paper, the present experimental results are compared with the calculated ones by the previous computer aided design program based on one dimensional flow equation. And also, an empirical equation for the working limit of liquid ejector is reported.
