In order to define the heat transfer characteristics in a spray column direct contact heat exchanger, the development of a multidimensional numerical model and computational algorithm is essential to analyze the inherent multidimensional characteristics of a direct contact heat exchanger. In the present study, it has been carried out numerical calculations using a two-dimensional model for operation of a direct contact heat exchanger. Such operational and system parameters as the injection velocity, void fraction, aspect ratio and injection temperature of each fluid are examined thoroughly to assess their influence on the performance of a spray column. Analyzed results has shown that our two-dimensional model predicts the heat transfer phenomena well in a spray column.

Dissolved air flotation (DAF) is a solid-liquid separation process that uses fine rising bubbles to remove particles in water. Most of particle-bubble collision occurs in the DAF contact zone. This initial contact considered by the researchers to play a important role for DAF performance. It is hard to make up conceptual model through simple mass balance for estimating collision efficiency in the contact zone because coupled behavior of the solid-liquid-gas phase in DAF system is 90 complicate. In this study, 2-phase(gas-liquid) flow equations for the conservation of mass, momentum and turbulence quantities were solved using an Eulerian-Eulerian approach based on the assumption that very small particle is applied in the DAF system. For the modeling of turbulent 2-phase flow in the reactor, the standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ mode I(liquid phase) and zero-equation(gas phase) were used in CFD code because it is widely accepted and the coefficients for the model are well established. Particle-bubble collision efficiency was calculated using predicted turbulent energy dissipation rate and gas volume fraction. As the result of this study, the authors concluded that bubble size and recycle ratio play important role for flow pattern change in the reactor. Predicted collision efficiency using CFD showed good agreement with measured removal efficiency in the contact zone. Also, simulation results indicated that collision efficiency at 15% recycle ratio is higher than that of 10% and showed increasing tendency of the collision efficiency according to the decrease of the bubble size.

The use of micro bubbles in industrial fields has been increasing in the recent years., particularly micro-bubble sterilization and water purification effects. Various methods have been developed for the generation of micro-bubbles. Depending on the method of generating bubbles, the micro-bubbles can be roughly classified into saturation molding, cavitation and rotation flow types. The objective of this study was to use ventilated tube type as a method of generating micro-bubbles in order to purify large amount of water quality such as lakes and reservoirs. This method shows a difference in efficiency in which micro-bubbles are generated depending on the contact ratio of gas to liquid. The study also investigated the optimal gas liquid contact ratio by applying various orifice methods and investigated the optimum condition of micro-bubble generation by gas Based on this, a technology to develop a micro-bubble generator with a venturi type nozzle shape that has a high water purification effect was developed.

In this study, the heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics of a condenser for a refrigerator are analyzed with the numerical method. The main objective of the study is to obtain basic data in order to develop a new type of condenser focused on an influence of thermal resistance of air side and thermal contact resistance on the heat transfer performance. The CFD technique was used for whole study, and experiments were performed in order to verify the reliability of the numerical analysis and predict the thermal contact resistance. In this study, a heat exchanger sample was made of a part of condenser to make the experimental and numerical analysis simple and efficient. Water was used for the inner working fluid of the heat exchanger, and an experimental apparatus was composed concisely. A heat exchanger sample of tube type was used to verify the reliability of numerical analysis, and a heat exchanger of fin and tube type was used to predict the ratio of thermal contact resistance to the overall thermal resistance.

This paper presented an experimental modal analysis of clamped perforated rectangular plates submerged in water. The penetration of holes in the plates had a triangular pattern with P/D (pitch to diameter) 1.750, 2.125, 2.500, 3.000 and 3.750. The natural frequencies of the perforated plates in air were obtained by the Rayleigh-Ritz method and compared with the experimental results. Good agreement was obtained between the analytical solution and experimental result. The experimental results in water showed that the mode shapes are not sensitive to the depth of submergence. The natural frequencies were shown to decrease drastically once the perforated plates come in contact with water. However, the natural frequencies decrease with the depth of submergence until a certain depth is reached, and become the asymptotic values beyond this depth of submergence. The depth of submergence did not affect the damping ratio greatly.
