In order to investigate the effects of an electric field on EHD(Electro-hydrodynamic) nucleate boiling hat transfer characteristics in a nonuniform electric field under saturated pool boiling, the basic study has been performed experimentally. In the present study, the working fluid is R-113 and the plate-wire electrode system is used to generate a steep electric field gradient. Boiling parameters are investigated by using a high speed camera. The electric field distribution around a wire is obtained to understand the effect of an electric field on bubble departure/movement. The experimental results show EHD effects are much more considerable when the applied voltage increases. Bubbles depart away from the heated wire in radial direction. It is confirmed that the mechanisms of EHD nucleate boiling are closely connected with the dynamic behavior of bubbles. The boiling parameters are significantly changed by the electric field strength. With increasing applied voltages, the bubble size decreases and the nucleation site density, bubble velocity and bubble frequency increase.

Although DAF(Dissolved Air Flotation) has been successfully accepted for water and wastewater treatment, the fundamental characteristics of the process have not been fully investigated. Water is saturated with compressed air to dissolve the air into the water at high pressure in saturation tank. Then the water containing dissolved air is released into a floatation tank at a lower pressure, generating micro-bubbles that rise gently through the water and carry the suspended matter to the surface. This study investigated the removal of sewage using automatic mixture type DAF pump and non-powered flotation tank. Characteristics of two devices were compared and analyzed with samples. The results showed that the PAC exhibited higher performance than other coagulants. When air dosage was 2.5ml/l/min, treatment was stable in operation. In the DAF pump with a pressure of 4 atm., the average size of bubbles was 36.2${\mu}m$. Removal efficiency of SS was 80%. At this time removal efficiency of COD was about 80%, of T-N was 30% and T-P was 70% in stable operation. It was concluded that DAF pump system with micro bubble performed higher efficiencies compared to general DAF system for treating wastewater.

본 연구에서는 해수담수화의 효율을 높이기 위한 효율적인 전처리 기법을 찾기 위해 응집제 투입과 같이 마이크로 공기를 주입하여 전처리 효율을 측정하였다. $AlCl_3{\cdot}6H_2O$와 PGA 응집제 주입량에 따른 탁도 제거효율을 알아보았다. 탁도 유발 물질은 해저퇴적토와 해양미세조류를 선정하여 실험에 필요한 탁도를 구현하였다. 퇴적토 함유 인공해수는 $AlCl_3{\cdot}6H_2O$ 0.5g/L 주입 시 제거율 73.7%를 얻은 반면 PGA 경우 0.05g/L 주입만으로 92.4% 제거율을 얻었다. 미세조류 함유 인공해수 또한 PGA 응집제 0.05g/L의 주입 만으로 95% 이상의 높은 제거효율을 보였다. 퇴적토를 함유 인공 해수에 비해 미세조류를 함유한 인공해수에서 효율이 더 좋았으며, 두 경우 모두 0.1g/L의 PGA 응집제 투입 후 1분간의 응집과정을 거친 후 마이크로 공기를 5초간 주입하였을 때 최적의 제거효율을 보여주었다. 마이크로 공기 주입 후 약 10분 후 최고의 탁도 제거율에 도달하였다. 본 연구결과를 통해 높은 탁도를 가진 해수일지라도 응집제와 마이크로 공기를 주입할 시 신속히 제거가 되었으므로, 본 연구결과는 해수 전처리에 효과적으로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

수중에 용존된 가스뿐 아니라 소독부산물과 같은 휘발성 화합물은 탈기에 의해 효과적으로 제거할 수 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 탈기공정에 사용되는 미세 기포는 수백~수천 ${\mu}m$이지만 부상 공정의 기포는 수 ${\mu}m$ 정도로 작다. 이에 따라 부상공정에서의 마이크로 기포는 수중의 휘발성 화합물이 대기로 방출될 수 있는 매우 넓은 기-액 비표면적을 제공한다. 또는 마이크로 기포는 상승 속도가 느려서 휘발성 화합물이 방출될 수 있는 긴 체류시간을 갖게 된다. 본 연구에서 일련의 탈기와 부상 실험을 실시한 결과, THMs의 제거율에서 상당히 큰 차이가 있었다. THMs의 물질전달계수 $K_La$ 역시 큰 차이를 보였다. 따라서 부상공정에서 THMs과 같은 휘발성 화합물을 제거하기 위해서는 일반적으로 입자제거를 위하여 적용되는 통상적인 운전범위보다 더 높은 기포체적농도가 필요함을 알 수 있다.

Air voids existed in hardened concrete have an important influence on concrete deterioration such as carbonation, freezing and thawing, and corrosion of embedded steel in concrete. Therefore it is very significant to investigate the pore structure of system(size, number and continuity of air voids) to solve the reason caused concrete deterioration. The purpose of this study is to develop the standard method of measuring air voids which affect properties in hardened concrete using image analyzing system. This paper presents the settlement of rapid and exact experimental method which extracts fine bubbles, calculates the number of air voids, and determines air-void distribution using image analyzing system with computer.

난류전단 흐름에서의 기포 크기분포를 예측하기 위하여 개발된 Monte-Carlo 모의모형을 실험실 크기의 문제에 적용하였다. 각종 모형 매개변수 및 물리적 변수들에 대한 민감도 분석을 수행하였으며, 실험 관측치와의 비교를 통하여 모형의 실제 적용성에 관하여 조사하였다. 공기와 물의 유량비 또는 마찰계수가 증가함에 따라 기포의 크기가 커지는 것으로 나타났다. 평균유속이 증가함에 따라 가포의 크기는 작아지지만, 폭기구간내 기포의 총표면적은 거의 일정함을 보였다. 모형의 종방향 거리증분에 따른 기포 크기분포의 변화는 거의 없었으며, 횡방향 거리중분을 크게 할수록 기포가 크거나 작은 쪽으로 치우쳐 중간정도의 크기를 갖는 기포의 수가 감소하였다. 기포의 크기분포는 그 초기분포 및 공기의 주입위치에 크게 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 기포의 충돌과 응집을 구분하기 위하여 충돌효율을 도입하였다.

Electro-flotation (EF) has shown advantages, such as a high removal efficiency and easy control of bubble generation, over dissolved air flotation. However, the fundamental characteristics of the process have not been investigated in detail. According to recent modeling results from trajectory analysis, the size of the bubble is one of the most important factors that affect the efficiency of collision between bubble and particle. In this paper, the size characteristics of bubbles generated from EF under various conditions are measured using a new method for bubble size measurement, the Particle Counter Method (PCM). The size of the generated bubbles was found to be constant with respect to applied voltage but to vary with the electrode materials. These results and their implications are discussed.

Recently, an air-lift bio-reactor operated by micro bubbles has been utilized to product hydrogen fuel. To enhance the performance, characteristics of hydrodynamics inside the bio-reactor were analyzed using a numerical simulation for two-phase flow. An Eulerian model was employed for both of liquid and gas phases. The standard k-ε model was used for turbulence induced by micro bubbles. A Population Balance Model was employed to consider size distribution of bubbles. A hollow cylinder was introduced at the center of the reactor to reduce a dead area which disturbs circulation of CO bubbles. An appropriate diameter of the draft tube and hollow cylinder were optimized for better performance of the bio-reactor. The optimum model could be obtained when the cross-sectional area ratio of the hollow cylinder to the reactor, and the width ratio of the riser to the downcomer approached 0.4 and 3.5, respectively. Consequently, it is expected that the optimum model could enhance the performance of the bio-reactor with the homogeneous distribution and higher density of CO, and more effective mixing.

This paper has dealt with the heat storage characteristics of gel type micro size latent heat storage material slurry. The heat release operation to the gel type micro size latent heat storage material slurry was carried out using hot air bubbles by direct contact heat exchange. This experiment was carried out using phase change material of n-paraffin so the heat release amount is higher than cold water system. The parameters of this experiment were concentration of latent heat phase change material, height of heat release bath and inlet velocity of hot air. The main results obtained are as follows : (1) The effect of concentration of latent heat phase change material dispersed with water is very affective to the direct contact heat exchange between hot air and gel type micro size latent heat storage material slurry. (2) It is clarified that the most effective concentration of latent heat phase change material dispersed with water exists around 20mass% at this type of direct heat exchange model experiment.

This study measured the velocity of magnetic particles inside the power generation using external heat sources. Single Plane Illumination Microscopy (SPIM) was used to measure magnetic particles that are simultaneously affected by bubbly flow and magnetic field. It has the advantage of reducing errors due to particle superposition by illuminating the thin light sheet. The hydraulic diameter of the power generation is 3mm. Its surface is covered with a coil with a diameter of 0.3 mm. The average diameter of a magnetic particle is 200nm. The excitation and emission wavelengths are 530 and 650nm, respectively. In order to find out the flow characteristics, a total of four velocity fields were calculated in wide and narrow gap air bubbles, between the wall and the air bubble and just below the air bubble. Magnetic particles showed up to 8.59% velocity reduction in the wide gap between air bubbles due to external magnetic field.
