The agitator is an important industrial instrument widely used for mixing various solutions in the industrial field. In this study, the optimized design of the helical ribbon type impeller, which is mainly used for the stirring of the high viscosity solution, is carried out by CFD analysis. For this purpose, an index for evaluating the agitation performance is newly defined and an optimization design process is performed through a multiphase computational fluid dynamic analysis. From these results, it is understood that the stirring performance is maximized in the case of the helical ribbon impeller under given operating conditions when the width is 7.5 mm, the height is 160 mm and the turn is 1.

The drilling mud is essentially used in oil and gas development. There are several roles of using the drilling mud, such as cleaning the bottomhole, cooling and lubricating the drill bit and string, transporting the cuttings to the surface, keeping and adjusting the wellbore pressure, and preventing the collapse of the wellbore. The fragments from rocks and micro-sized bubbles generated by the high pressure are mixed in the drilling mud. The systems to separate those mixtures and to keep the uniformly maintained quality of drilling mud are required. In this study, the simulation is conducted to verify the performance of the mud tank's agitation capacity. The primary role of the mud tank is the mixing of mud at the surface with controlling the mud condition. The container type is chosen as a mud tank pursuing efficient transport and better management of equipment. The single- and two-phase simulations about the agitation in the mud tank are performed to analyze and identify the inner flow behavior. The convergence of results is obtained for the vertical- and axis-direction velocity vector fields based on the grid-dependency tests. The mixing time analysis depending on the multiphase flow conditions indicates that the utilization of a two-stepped impeller with a smaller size provides less time for mixing. This study's results are expected to be utilized as the preliminary data to develop the mixing and integrating equipment of the onshore drilling mud system.

플라이애시의 부유선별 과정에서 교반속도와 공기주입량과 같은 기계적 요소 변화에 따른 영향을 알아보고자 본 연구를 실시하였다. 본 연구에서는 미연탄소 함량이 약 3.4 ~ 3.7% 수준인 화력발전소 플라이애시를 사용하였다. 대표적인 부유선별의 선별 요소인 pH, 교반속도, 포수제 첨가량, 기포제 첨가량 변화에 따른 영향을 살펴보았을 때, Safflower oil을 포수제로 사용하여 첨가량을 800 g/ton, pH 7, 교반속도 1,200 rpm, 기포제 첨가량이 400 g/ton였을 때, 미연탄소 회수율과 미연탄소 함량이 각각 63%, 34%로 나타났다. 이 때 부상물 SEM/EDS 분석을 통해 알아본 결과, 구형의 플라이애시 미립자가 미연탄소 내에 고용되거나, 광액 내에 가라앉지 못하고 기포와 함께 부유함으로써 미연탄소의 함량을 낮추는 것으로 나타났다. 교반속도와 공기주입량과 같은 기계적 요소를 변화시킨 실험에서는 공기주입량 8L/min, 교반 속도 900 rpm에서 미연탄소 회수율 74%, 미연탄소 함량 67%인 것으로 나타났다. 이는 낮은 교반속도와 추가 공기주입으로 인하여 광액 내 와류의 강도가 낮아져, 미립의 플라이애시 입자가 미연탄소와 함께 부유되는 현상을 방지됨으로써, 미연탄소 회수율과 미연탄소 함량이 향상된 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 교반속도와 공기주입량을 각각 800 rpm, 6 L/min으로 설정하였을 때 미연탄소 회수율과 미연탄소 탄소함량이 각각 80%, 70%로 향상되어 가장 우수한 것으로 나타났다.

Main component of radiography barrier aprons is lead. To manufacture a lead-free barrier sheath, barium sulfate and organic iodine-based chemicals should be mixed with rubber. Barrier capacity was tested in the medical field. To improve adaptation of rubber with the mixture, raw materials went through milling, agitation, and extruding processes. Three sheaths were manufactured with 30%, 80%, and 120% sulfate barium, respectively. This study found 10% lower barrier capacity of lead-free barrier than the traditional lead-containing rubber sheath. Problems, however, were confronted during the agitation and extruding processes. Mixing with rubber was a technically demanding job. Inconsistent depth, problems with thermal processing and dissipation were encountered as well.

Glycerolysis of triolein by lipase from Chromobacterium viscosum lipase was studied batchwise in AOT-isooctane reversed micelles. The reaction mixture was extracted with chloroform and the content of triolein, 1, 2-diolein, 1, 3-diolein, 1-monoolein, and free fatty acid in the condensed chloroform solution was determined using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The effect of agitation speed on the initial rate of conversion was examined. As the speed of agitation increased up to 700 rpm, the reaction rate increased. However, above 700 rpm, the rate approached maximum and did not increase that much. The glycerolysis activity and the stability of the enzyme were affected by stirring and addition of histidine or copper. Addition of histidine and copper increased the rates of glycerolysis but they are detrimental to the operational stability in reversed micelles.

Studies were made to investigate effects of the scale-up of stirred tank bioreactors on cell growth and alkaloids production for suspension cultures of Eschscholtzia californica. In the 1.5 L STR, cell lysis was observed at 110 rpm or higher agitation speed. The agitation speed of 30 L STR was 43.7 rpm to maintain the same shear stress developed in 1.5 L STR of 100 rpm. As a result of scale-up from 1.5 L to 30 L STR, the specific growth rate was decreased from 0.12 to 0.07 day-1. The alkaloids productivity was also decreased from 0.24 to 0.14 mg/L-day. Changes of mixing performance and oxygen transfer were studied to explain the decrease of cell growth and alkaloids production. Decreased oxygen transfer rate coefficient(KLa) and increased mixing time by the scale-up was observed at various aeration rates.

Transgenic rice cells using RAmy3D promoter can provide high productivity, and the production of recombinant protein is induced by sugar starvation. In this system, productivity was reduced during the scale-up processes. To ensure the influences of shear stress and oxygen transfer rate, working volume and mixing performances were investigated under various agitation speeds and working volumes. In addition, inoculation methods including suspended cells and filtered cells were compared. Working volumes and shaking speeds were 300, 450 mL and 80, 120 rpm, respectively. Hydrodynamic environment of each condition was measured numerically like mixing time and $k_La$. Good mixing performance and high shear stress were measured at high agitation speed and low volume. The highest level of hCTLA4Ig was 30.7 mg/L at 120 rpm, 300 mL. When conditioned medium was used for inoculation, increased cell growth was noticed during the day 0~4 and decreased slower than filtered cells. Compared with filtered cells, the maximum hCTLA4Ig level reached 37.8 mg/L at 120 rpm, 300 mL and lower protease activity level was observed. In conclusion mixing performance is critical factor for productivity and conditioned medium can have a positive effect on damaged cells caused by hydrodynamic shear stress.

점도, 임펠러 종류, 소비전력 등에 의해 영향을 받는 생물학적 폐기물 처리시설 및 에너지 생산 플랜트에서 적절한 교반 시스템의 설계는 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 적절한 교반 시스템의 설계를 위해 음식물류폐기물을 이용하여 다양한 조건(운전 pH 및 농도)에서의 수소발효 시 유변학적 특성의 변화를 조사한 후, 이를 기반으로 교반강도를 설계하였다. 운전 pH에 따른 수소발효 실험에서 수소전환율은 $0.51{\sim}1.77mol\;H_2/mol\;hexose_{added}$였고, 가장 높은 수소전환율은 운전 pH 5.5에서 나타났다. 발효액은 전단속도가 증가함에 따라 점도가 감소하는 Shear thinning 거동을 보였다. 탄수화물이 분해되면서 발효 이후 점도는 초기 점도보다 감소하는 경향을 보였으나, 운전 pH의 변화에 따른 발효액의 점도 변화는 크지 않았다. 탄수화물 농도 10~50 g Carbo. COD/L에서 수소전환율은 $1.40{\sim}1.86mol\;H_2/mol\;hexose_{added}$로 운전 pH 조건이 수소전환율에 미친 영향과 비교했을 때 큰 차이는 없었다. 발효액의 Zero viscosity와 Infinite viscosity는 탄수화물 농도에 따라 각각 $10.4{\sim}346.2mPa{\cdot}s$와 $1.7{\sim}5.3mPa{\cdot}s$로 나타났는데, 10 g Carbo. COD/L와 20 g Carbo. COD/L에서 발효액의 점도 값은 거의 차이가 없었다. 실험 결과에 기초하여 교반강도를 설계한 결과, 기질농도 30 g Carbo. COD/L의 수소발효 초기 및 발효 후 교반강도는 각각 26.0, 10.0 rpm으로 약 2.5배 정도의 교반강도를 줄임으로써 에너지를 절약할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Pool boiling heat transfer is widely applied in nuclear engineering fields. The influence of heating surface orientation on the pool boiling heat transfer has received extensive attention. In this study, the heating surface with different roughness was adopted to conduct pool boiling experiments at different inclination angles. Based on the boiling curves and bubble images, the effects of inclination angle on the pool boiling heat transfer and critical heat flux were analyzed. When the inclination angle was bigger than 90°, the bubble size increased with the increase of inclination angle. Both the bubble departure frequency and critical heat flux decreased as the inclination angle increased. The existing theoretical models about pool boiling heat transfer and critical heat flux were compared. From the perspective of bubble agitation model and Hot/Dry spot model, the experimental phenomena could be explained reasonably. The enlargement of bubble not only could enhance the agitation of nearby liquid but also would cause the bubble to stay longer on the heating surface. Consequently, the effect of inclination angle on the pool boiling heat transfer was not conspicuous. With the increase of inclination angle, the rewetting of heating surface became much more difficult. It has negative effect on the critical heat flux. This work provides experimental data basis for heat transfer and CHF performance of pool boiling.
