The velocity and motion of single air bubbles rising through lubricant have been experimentally investigated to test the effect of silicon defoamant The investigation reveals that the velocity is markedly retarded by the addition of small amount of silicone defoamant. This retardation of rising velocity of air bubbles is proposed by increasing of Drag force or reducing of Buoyancy force around the surfaces of the bubbles.

An experimental study was performed on the orifice nozzle system that generates micro-bubbles by air self-suction using a venturi nozzle. This study experimentally investigates the amount of air sucked into the venturi nozzle and the number of micro-bubbles generated by the orifice nozzle system in Cases 1 and 2. The experimental conditions were varied by changing the diameter of the orifice nozzle (d=2~7 mm) and the number of holes of the perforated plate nozzle (n = 2-12). In Case 1, the air self-suction was more than 2 LPM at $d{\leq}4mm$. When d = 4 mm, the total number of bubbles was 29,777, and it was confirmed that micro-bubbles occupied approximately 65% of the total number of bubbles. In Case 2, the air self-suction was maintained constant at approximately 2.5 LPM regardless of the number (n) of holes. The total amount of bubbles increased when n increased but remained constant at approximately 44,000 when $n{\geq}7EA$. It was also confirmed that more than 80% of all bubbles were micro-bubbles when $n{\geq}10EA$. Thus, the number of micro-bubbles increased by approximately 15% compared to the experimental result of Case 1, which was optimized with d = 4 mm.

The structural development of air-water bubble plumes has been measured under different condition on air flow rate in a cylindrical bath. The time-averaged structure of plumes has been measured with an oscilloscope and an electro-conductivity probe. The temperature of bubbles was also obtained by a thermal-infrared camera. Gas volume fraction and bubble frequency were high since bubbles concentrated on the nozzle. In general, their axial and radial values tended to decrease with increasing distance. Bubble temperature reached water temperature within a short time. The present study showed that thermal equilibrium between bubbles and water was completed before bubbles flow became stable.

난류전단 흐름에서의 기포응집에 따른 기포의 크기분포를 예측하기 위한 Monte-Carlo 모의모형을 개발하였다. 임의로 선택된 각 초기위치에 일련의 기포들을 매시각 발생시키고, 각 기포들의 움직임과 충돌을 모의함으로써 각각의 위치와 크기를 추적하도록 하였다. 기포의 횡방향 변위는 이송확산 방정식의 수치해를 이용하여 부여하였으며, 종방향 변위는 흐름의 대수유속분포 및 기포 상승속도로부터 주어지도록 하였다. 각 기포들간의 초기 상대위치와 상대변위를 이용한 기하학적 해석에 의하여 매시간단계에서의 기포응집을 탐지하여, 시간단계 말기에서의 기포 총수, 각 기포의 위치 및 크기를 결정하였다. 기포들의 크기 및 위치를 나타내기 위하여 소요되는 기억용량을 최소화하도록 전산모형을 구성하였다.

There is a possibility of the production of the air bubbles in membrane pores due to the reduction in pressure during membrane filtration. The effect of fine air bubbles from dissolved gases on microfiltration was investigated in the submerged membrane bio-reactor (SMBR). The $R_{air}$ (air bubble resistance) was defined as the filtration resistance due to the air bubbles formed from the gasification of dissolved gases. From the results of filtration tests using pure water with changes in the dissolved oxygen concentration, the air bubbles from dissolved gases were confirmed to act as a foulant and; thus, increase the filtration resistance. The standard pore blocking and cake filtration models, SPBM and CFM, respectively, were applied to investigate the mechanism of air bubble fouling on a hollow fiber membrane. However, the application of the SPBM and CFM were limited in explaining the mechanism due to the properties of air bubble. With a simple comparison of the different filtration resistances, the $R_{air}$ portion was below 1% of the total filtration resistance during sludge filtration. Therefore, the air bubbles from dissolved gases would only be a minor foulant in the SMBR. However, under the conditions of a high gasification rate from dissolved gases, the effect of air bubble fouling should be considered in microfiltration.

수평배수재 내의 기포로 인한 불포화상태가 통수능에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위하여 단면 크기 및 코어 형태에 따라 4종류의 배수재를 선정하여 불포화 통수능력시험을 실시하였다. 가압시간, 구속압, 동수경사 등의 변화에 따른 불포화 통수능의 변화를 분석하고 포화 통수능과 비교하였다. 분석결과, 불포화 통수능은 동수경사가 0.01인 경우, 포화 통수능에 비해 배수재 내에 적체된 잔류기포의 영향으로 인해 17%~80% 감소하였다. 이는 수평배수재의 경우, 수평으로 흐르는 물의 흐름 방향과 부양되려는 기포의 이동방향이 서로 일치하지 않기 때문으로 평가된다. 특히 배수재의 코어 형상이 필라멘트 모양인 경우 기포가 빠져나가기 어려워 불포화 통수능이 크게 저하되었다.

관벽의 영향을 무시할 수 있는 요기내의 액체중을 상승하는 단일공기포의 상승속도, 형산, 경로를 명확히 하고 원주형관, 정방형관, 평행평판간의 액체중을 상승하는 단일기포의 상승속도에 미치는 관벽영향을 구하였다. 원주형관을 상승하는 공기포는 dimensionless plot로 실험치를 통 적으로 표현할 수가 있었으며 관벽영향을 받지않고 관중을 상승할 수 있는 공기포에 대한 최저의 관경을 결정할 수가 있었다.

This paper deals with interaction between two bubbles or particles and flow around them, visualized by a moving object flow image analyzer(MOFIA) consisting of a three-dimensional (3D) moving object image analyzer(MOIA) and two-dimensional particle image velocimetry(PIV). The experiments were carried out for rising bubbles or particles of various densities, sizes, and/or shapes in stagnant water in a vertical pipe. In the MOFIA employed, 3D-MOIA was used to measure particles or bubbles motion and PIV was used to measure fluid flow, The experimental results showed that the interaction was characterized by the shape, size and density of two particles or bubbles.

In recent years, carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) bubbles emerged as the most widely applied material with the recycling of sequestrated storage to decrease global warming. Flotation using $CO_2$ as an alternative to air could be effective in overcoming the high power consumption in the dissolved air flotation (DAF) process. The comparison of DAF and DCF system indicated that, the carbon dioxide flotation (DCF) system with pressurized $CO_2$ only requires 1.5 ~ 2.0 atm, while the DAF system requires 3.0 ~ 6.0 atm. In a bid to understand the characteristics of particle separation, the single collector collision (SCC) model was used and a series of simulations were conducted to compare the differences of collision and flotation between $CO_2$ bubbles and air bubbles. In addition, laboratory experiments were sequentially done to verify the simulation results of the SCC model. Based on the simulation results, surfactant injection, which is known to decrease bubble size, cloud improved the collision efficiency of $CO_2$ bubbles similar to that of air bubbles. Furthermore, the results of the flotation experiments showed similar results with the simulation of the SCC model under anionic surfactant injection. The findings led us to conclude that $CO_2$ bubbles can be an alternative to air bubbles and a promising material as a collector to separate particles in the water and wastewater.

Generally, it is a method to remove the fouling cleaning the plate heat exchanger with chemicals or polishing with a brush or cloth after stopping the equipment and disassembling heat exchanger. However, the equipment must be stopped and taken apart when using this method, which causes an unnecessary work to assemble again after cleaning it. In this study, it has developed and tested the equipment which can automatically clean the fouling on plate heat exchanger at regular intervals with air bubbles. It indicated that the overall heat transfer coefficient had decreased without significant differences similar to that calculated without air bubbles until after 72 hours when making air bubbles to remove fouling ingredient on the surface of heat transfer area every 10 minutes per 2 hours. However, it showed that there was a 10% higher of heat transfer effect compared to the case without air bubbles of after 192 hours.
