In the present study, the gas injection system based on air-water model was designed to investigate the flow characteristics of liquid phase. A PIV system was applied to analyze the flow pattern in a ladle which gas stated to rise upward from the bottom. Gas flow is one of most important factors which could feature a flow pattern in a gas injection system. As the gas injected into the liquid, the kinetic energy of bubble transfer to liquid phase and a strong circulation flow develops in the liquid phase. Such a flow in the liquid develops vortex and improve the mixing process. Due to the centrifugal force, circulation flow was well developed near both wall sides and upper region respectively. Increasing gas flow was helpful to remove dead zone but, weak flow zone still exists in spite of the increasement of gas flow rate.

DOS and NaCl aerosol particles were used to determine collection efficiencies of a 2-stage electrostatic wet scrubber with respect to particle size. The DOS and NaCl aerosols have geometric mean diameters of 0.1-3.0 urn, geometric standard deviations of $1.1{\sim}1.8$ and total number concentrations of $450{\sim}2,400\;particles/cm^3$. The tested operating variables for the electrostatic wet scrubber included air velocity and water injection rate. It was shown from the experimental results that particle collection efficiencies increased in the submicron particle size range when different polarities were applied on the water nozzle and corona wire, respectively. This increase in the collection efficiency is attributed to strong electrostatic attraction between the negative water droplets and positive submicron particles. The collection efficiencies also increased when water injection rate was increased or air velocity was decreased. Meanwhile, the pressure drop across the wet scrubber decreased by 90% compared with the existing mechanical wet scrubber. Finally, ammonia gas was used to determine gas removal efficiencies. It was observed that the gas removal efficiencies increased when the air velocity was decreased or the water injection rate was increased.

본 연구에서는 국내에서 운영 중인 대형 LPG(Liquefied petroleum gas: 액화석유가스) 지하공동저장소 주변 오염지하수 내 TOC(total organic carbon: 전유기탄소)를 효과적으로 제거할 수 있는 탈기법(air-stripping) 기반의 정화공정을 개발하기 위해, 국내 LPG 지하저장소 주변 두 종류의 오염 지하수 시료(초기 TOC 농도는 각각 608 mg/L와 153 mg/L)를 대상으로 TOC 제거 실내 실험을 하였다. 다양한 air-stripping 조건(공기주입량 변화, 온도 변화, 초음파 처리 연계 등)에서 처리수의 TOC 제거효율을 비교함으로써, 최적의 TOC 제거효율을 가지는 air-stripping 기반의 지하수 정화공정을 개발하고자 하였다. Air-stripping의 공기 주입량 변화 실험 결과, 공기주입량이 2 L/min에서 11 L/min로 많아질수록, stripping 시간이 1시간에서 24시간으로 길어질수록, 오염지하수의 TOC 제거율은 증가하였지만, 처리 후 지하수의 TOC 농도는 방류수 수질 기준(100 mg/L 이하)보다 높았다. 정성분석 결과 실험에 사용한 LPG 지하저장소 주변 오염지하수의 TOC 주요 성분은 메탄올과 프로판으로 나타났으며, 메탄올의 경우 물과의 친화성에 의해 air-stripping 효과가 프로판보다 낮아, 장시간의 stripping이 필요한 것으로 판단되었다. 상온(20℃)에서 공기주입량 4 L/min로 24시간 air-stripping 후 오염 지하수의 TOC 제거효율은 59.1%였으나, 온도를 30℃와 40℃로 상승시켰을 때 제거효율은 각각 80.0%와 82.8%로 증가하여, 온도 증가에 따라 TOC 제거효율도 증가하였다. 다만 오염지하수의 온도를 40℃로 유지하여도 24시간 이상 air-stripping을 해야 처리수의 TOC 농도가 방류수 수질 기준을 만족하였다. Air-stripping의 TOC 제거효율을 높이기 위해, 초음파 처리 과정을 병행한 경우, 공기주입량 9 L/min 조건으로 air-stripping을 적용한 결과 5시간 만에 87.8%의 높은 제거효율을 나타내어(처리 후 TOC 농도: 72.4 mg/L) 방류수 수질 기준(100 mg/L)을 만족하였다. 초기 TOC 농도가 낮은 오염지하수의 경우에도 초음파 처리와 air-stripping을 동일한 조건으로 병행한 경우, TOC 제거효율은 89.7%(처리 후 TOC농도: 18.9 mg/L)를 나타내었다. 연구 결과로부터 TOC로 오염된 대형 LPG 지하공동저장소 주변 지하수에 대하여 초음파 처리와 air-stripping을 연계한 정화법을 적용하는 경우, 비교적 짧은 시간(6시간 이하)에 효과적으로 지하수 내 TOC를 제거할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

반응물의 펄스주입에 의한 촉매반응결과는 코크가 많은 반응의 경우 초기반응특성을 연구하는데 유용하다. 프로판의 펄스주입으로 알루미나에 담지된 백금주석촉매의 탈수소 반응 특성을 연구하였다. 프로판 주입전 촉매의 환원을 $550^{\circ}C$에서 한 경우, 환원시간이 1시간인 경우 프로필렌의 수율이 최대가 되었다. PtSn (4.5)촉매를 사용하고, 프로판 펄스 주입에 의해 짧은 접촉시간을 모사한 경우 코크의 양이 매우 적었음을 Raman분석으로 알 수 있었다. 백금의 분산도를 다르게 하기위하여 PtSn (4.5)촉매를 수소로 $900^{\circ}C$에서 신터링 후 공기-재분산시의 온도를 다르게 처리한 후, 프로판 펄스 주입한 결과 공기처리 온도가 $600^{\circ}C$ 일 때 프로판의 전환율과 수율은 가장 높았다. 공기-재분산의 온도가 낮을수록 선택도는 높았다. 백금촉매에 주석함량이 증가함에 따라 프로판 전환율은 낮아졌지만, 프로필렌으로의 선택도는 높아져서, 수율은 증가하였다. 이로부터 주석을 첨가한 백금촉매는 코크의 영향이 적은 반응초기부터 백금촉매보다 활성이 낮다는 것을 알 수 있다. 프로판 펄스주입에 의한 탈수소반응은 COx의 생성에 의해 연속주입에 의한 결과보다 높은 전환율을 보이고, 코크의 양이 매우 적은 특징을 보이고 있다. COx의 생성에 의한 선택도 하락은 환원온도와 시간을 증가시키면 줄일 수 있다.

Air-water two phase natural circulation flow in the T-HERMES (Thermo-Hydraulic Evaluation of Reactor cooling Mechanism by External Self-induced flow)-1D experiment has been evaluated to verify and evaluate the experimental results by using the RELAP5/MOD3 computer code. The RELAP5 results have shown that an increase in the coolant inlet area leads to an increase in the water circulation mass flow rate. However, the water outlet area does not effective on the water circulation mass flow rate. As the coolant outlet moves to a lower position, the water circulation mass flow rate decreases. The water level is not effective on the water circulation mass flow rate. As the height increases in the air injection part, the void fraction increases. However, the void fraction in the upper part of the air injector maintains a constant value. An increase in the air injection mass flow rate leads to an increase in the local void fraction, but it is not effective on the local pressure.

The concurrent injection of cosolvent and air, a cosolvent-air (CA) flood was recently suggested for a dense nonaqueous phase liquid (DNAPL) remediation technology. The objectives of this study were to elucidate the DNAPL removal mechanisms of the CA flood and to quantify mass transfer rate coefficients during CA flooding. DNAPL removal mechanisms were examined by evaluating the effects of air flow rate and DNAPL solubility and visually documented at a pore-scale. Two serial processes, immiscible displacement and dissolution, were experimentally and visually documented during CA flooding. Mass transfer rate coefficients (K) were computed from the data showing PCE saturation versus time. Results showed that CA floods exhibited higher K values than cosolvent floods without concurrent air injection.

In the present paper we studied experimentally fundamental optimization of oxygen enriched pyrolysis melting incinerator, Characteristics of this system was confirmed dealing with the gas flow and combustion properties for the inside secondary air injection. The experiment setup has a disposal rate of 30kg/hr which was measured by the inside temperature and gas. Along with above experiments, the three-dimensional computation was employed to analyse the combustion fluid dynamics and gas residence time. Equations for turbulence and heat - transmission as well as chemical reactions were solved by using common codes. The experimental combustion chamber was composed of staged combustion types structure for reducing NOx. Finally, it was verified that the control of the secondary air and air ratio of thermo stack were important. In the computational analysis, it showed reasonable agreement with the experimental results regarding the temperature and discharged gas concentration.

This paper considers the age of air in a ventilated space with multiple supply inlets. The local mean age of air at a point from one supply inlet is different from those from the other supply inlets. It is the purpose of the present paper to investigate theoretically the relations between the LMA's from each supply and overall combined LMA whether or not to trace the origins of supply air. Transient concentration distributions are calculated with a step-up injection of tracer gas at each supply inlet, and at both inlets simultaneously. The steady state concentration with a continuous tracer injection at a supply inlet works as a weighting factor for the corresponding LMA in calculating the average overall LMA from multiple inlets.

This study was carried out to investigate the optimum operating conditions of the air injection type onion peeling device which could be attached to a prototype onion peeler. An onion, stem and root was cut and some vertical line was dug in 1 mm depth on the skin, was put on the two parallel rollers. The diameters of the rollers were 105 mm and the ratio of peripheral velocity was 3:2, and moved by a geared motor. Air from the nozzle with high pressure and velocity was jetted to the rotating onion on the revolving rollers, and then the skin of the onion was stripped. On the test, the rolling characteristics of the experimental materials were measured. The effective peeling conditions were, the number of digging line on the skin of the onion was 4, and the air jet pressure was above 392.3 kPa(4.0 kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$) when the peripheral velocity was at 2.4 m/s. On these conditions, time requirement to peel an onion was less than 2 sec.

This paper experimentally investigates the effects of oxygen-enriched air (OEA) on the running behaviors of an LPG SI engine during both start/warm-up (SW) and hot idling (HI) stages. The experiments were performed on an air-cooled, single-cylinder, 4-stroke, LPG SI engine with an electronic fuel injection system and an electrically-heated oxygen sensor. OEA containing 23% and 25% oxygen (by volume) was supplied for the experiments. The throttle position was fixed at that of idle condition. A fueling strategy was used as following: the fuel injection pulse width (FIPW) in the first cycle of injection was set 5.05 ms, and 2.6 ms in the subsequent cycles till the achieving of closed-loop control. In closed-loop mode, the FIPW was adjusted by the ECU in terms of the oxygen sensor feedback. Instantaneous engine speed, cylinder pressure, engine-out time-resolved HC, CO and NOx emissions and excess air coefficient (EAC) were measured and compared to the intake air baseline (ambient air, 21% oxygen). The results show that during SW stage, with the increase in the oxygen concentration in the intake air, the EAC of the mixture is much closer to the stoichiometric one and more oxygen is made available for oxidation, which results in evidently-improved combustion. The ignition in the first firing cycle starts earlier and peak pressure and maximum heat release rate both notably increase. The maximum engine speed is elevated and HC and CO emissions are reduced considerably. The percent reductions in HC emissions are about 48% and 68% in CO emissions about 52% and 78%; with 23% and 25% OEA, respectively, compared to ambient air. During HI stage, with OEA, the fuel amount per cycle increases due to closed-loop control, the engine speed rises, and speed stability is improved. The HC emissions notably decrease: about 60% and 80% with 23% and 25% OEA, respectively, compared to ambient air. The CO emissions remain at the same low level as with ambient air. During both SW and HI stages, intake air oxygen enrichment causes the delay of spark timing and the increased NOx emissions.
