본 연구에서는 원뿔형으로 개발된 미세기포형 산기관의 성능향상을 위하여 운용적 측면에서 실험과 전산모사적 방법을 이용하였다. 산기관 잠김깊이의 변화에 대해 성능실험이 용이한 실증 규모의 타워형 생물반응기에 산기관을 장착하여, 잠김깊이가 표준산소전달계수($K_{L}a_{20}$) 및 표준산소전달효율(SOTE) 등 산소전달 성능에 미치는 영향을 실험적으로 연구하였다. 또한, 2상 유동에 관한 유체역학적 전산모사를 이용하여 산기관 수와 잠김깊이에 대한 유동현상을 파악함으로써 산소전달 성능변화에 대한 원인을 규명하였다. 산소전달 성능실험결과, 산기관의 잠김깊이를 6 m에서 12 m로 증가시킴에 따라 표준산소 전달계수는 7% 증가하였으나 표준산소전달효율은 39~72% (5.6 %/m)로 대폭 상승하였다. 유동 해석결과, 산기관의 수가 증가함에 따라 공기 체적분율 및 공기와 시험수의 유속 모두 증가하였으며, 공기와 시험수의 유속 경향은 유사하게 나타났다. 잠김깊이가 증가함에 따라서 공기 체적분율, 공기 및 시험수의 유속은 조금씩 감소하는 경향을 나타냈다. 선회 병류유동은 기포류의 확산과 상승속도를 결정하는 주요 인자로서 선회강도가 과도하게 큰 경우에는 기포 체류시간과 체류량이 감소되므로 산소전달 성능을 저하를 예측할 수 있었다.

A finite element-based, integrated process model has been developed and applied to predict the detailed, three-dimensional aspects of the thermo-mechanical behavior occurring in the slab caster considering inclusion removal from molten steel by argon bubble flotation. Gas bubbles are simulated using the dispersion model calculating the volume fraction, and the bubble capture effect is included by a source term in the transport equation for particles. The process model is applied to the investigation of the effect of various process parameters on the inclusion removal in the molten steel.

Effect of organic loading rate on UASB performance was evaluated under the renditions of some surface area/reactor volume ratio and different reactor diameter. At the low leading rate of 0.4 kg $COD/m^3{\cdot}d$, reactor performance was not affected by reactor diameter. At the organic loading rate of 6 kg $COD/m^3{\cdot}d$, however, volatile acid accumulation and low COD removal efficiency is observed in reactor having 6.4 cm diameter, while volatile acid is not accumulated at all and high COD removal efficiency is observed in reactor having 3 cm diameter. Such a difference of reactor performance depending on reactor diameter can be explained that sludge bed can be fluidized by evolved gas bubble in narrow reactor, while sludge bed ran not be fluidized by evolved gas bubble only in wide reactor. At a high organic loading rate of 20 kg $COD/m^3{\cdot}d$, it can be judged that there is no relation between reactor configuration and reactor performance because all reactors showed very low COD removal efficiencies regardless of reactor diameter. Narrow and tall type reactor is favorable condition for making sludge bed fluidization at a constant surface area/reactor volume ratio. Thus, it can be judged that reactor configuration and sludge bed fluidization have great influence to reactor performance.

이 연구는 초음파에 의한 1,4-dioxane(1,4-D)의 제거효율과 반응속도의 증가를 위해 초음파의 조사방식, 반응온도와 부피의 효과를 조사하였다. 초음파가 펄스방식으로 주사된 경우가 연속적으로 주사된 경우보다 약 10%의 1,4-D의 감소 효율의 증가를 보였다. 두 경우 모두 1000 mL와 반응온도가 고정되지 않은 조건에서 실시된 것으로 반응곡선은 도입단계, 가속단계, 그리고 안정화단계 등 3단계로 구분될 수 있었다. 실제로 1,4-D의 제거를 보이는 부분은 도입단계와 가속단계로 이들의 속도론적 특징은 도입단계와 가속 단계 각각 0차 반응과 유사일차반응과 부합하였다. 반면에 300 mL의 반응부피에서 온도를 고정한 경우에서는 3단계의 제거 유형을 보이지 않았다. $5^{\circ}C$로 고정한 경우만이 유사일차 반응과 부합하였고 그 이상의 온도에서는 0차 반응과 부합하였다. $20^{\circ}C$로 온도가 고정된 조건에서 반응부피 300 mL의 경우가 1000 mL 반응에서 보다 높은 분해 효율을 보였을 뿐만 아니라 단일한 제거 특성을 보였다. 이러한 반응 온도와 부피의 영향은 초음파 주사에 의해 생성되는 bubble의 강도에 영향을 주며 bubble의 강도가 높을수록 OH 라디칼의 생성이 증가되었다.

Flocculation and flotation are used as pretreatment steps prior to the reverse osmosis (RO) process. During seawater treatment, high temperature can change the water chemistry of seawater during the process of coagulation. It also affects bubble volume concentration (BVC) and bubble characteristics. Coagulants such as alum and ferric salts at $40^{\circ}C$ can also change flux rates in the seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) process. In this study, the bubble characteristics in dissolved air flotation (DAF), used as a SWRO pretreatment process, were studied in synthetic seawater at $20^{\circ}C$ and $40^{\circ}C$. The flux of an RO membrane was monitored after dosing the synthetic seawater with coagulants at different temperatures. Results showed that BVC increases as the operating pressure increases and as the salt concentration decreases. The bubble size released at $40^{\circ}C$ is far smaller than that at $20^{\circ}C$The addition of a ferric salt is effective for turbidity removal in synthetic seawater at $20^{\circ}C$; it is more effective than alum. When synthetic seawater was dosed with a ferric salt, the RO membrane flux increased by 27 % at $40^{\circ}C$.

Control of mixing and transport processes are the key areas that can be benefited by understanding the hydrodynamics in gas-liquid two-phase flows. In particular, the enhanced bubble-induced liquid-phase mixing is known to be a function of void fraction distribution, gas phase velocity and so on. To further our insight on the characteristics of the liquid-phase mixing induced by the bubbles, in the present study, we experimentally investigate the mixing performance of a rectangular bubble column while changing the void fraction from 0.006 to 0.075%. A shadowgraphy technique is used to measure the gas-phase properties such as void fraction and size/velocity of bubbles. On the other hand, we use dye visualization with low diffusive buoyant dye to directly measure the level of mixing. Finally, we confirm that the time taken for full mixing scales with the inverse of volume void fraction.

Characteristics of gas-liquid mass transfer and interfacial area were investigated in a bubble column of diameter and height of 0.102 m and 2.5 m, respectively. Effects of gas and liquid velocities on the volumetric gas-liquid mass transfer coefficient ($k_La$), interfacial area (a) and liquid side true mass transfer coefficient ($k_L$) were examined. The interfacial area and volumetric gas-liquid mass transfer coefficient were determined directly by adopting the simultaneous physical desorption of $O_2$ and chemical absorption of $CO_2$ in the column. The values of $k_La$ and a increased with increasing gas velocity but decreased with increasing liquid velocity in the bubble column which was operated in the churn turbulent flow regime. The value of $k_L$ increased with increasing gas velocity but did not change considerably with increasing liquid velocity. The liquid side mass transfer was found to be related closely to the liquid circulation as well as the effective contacting frequency between the bubbles and liquid phases.

유압관로에서의 캐비테이션 발생 기구를 조사할 목적으로, 과도흐름에 수반하여 발생하는 캐비테이션 초생에 관한 실험 및 압력이 급강하 할 때의 기포 성장에 대한 계산을 행하였다. 실험에서 얻은 결과를 기초로 한 계산에서, 작동유가 절대압 영이하의 부압에 노출되어도 캐비테이션이 발생하지 않을 정도의 장력을 갖기 위해서는 소위 말하는 기포(기포 주위의 액체가 연속체로 간주될 수 있을 정도의 크기를 갖는 기포)가 유중에 존재할 가능성은 거의 없음이 입증되었다.

Mass mortality of mariculture fish due to high summer temperatures is a major issue in the mariculture industry in many coastal waters of Korea, yet measures to mitigate the impact are generally limited. We injected a micro-bubble of liquefied oxygen into the bottom of rockfish cages (about 6-8 m deep) in order to maximize the dispersal of micro-bubbled seawater and reduce fish mortality. The injection of low-temperature oxygen in micro-bubbles lowered the water temperature at the injection area by as much as 1℃ and increased dissolved oxygen concentration by 0.5 ppm. In early August, following a week with persistent high water temperature (above 28.5℃), there was an increase in fish mortality despite the micro-bubble system, which resulted in approximately 7% death of the total introduced fish population. However, this mortality appeared to be much lower than mortality reported in a neighboring mariculture facility (approximately 50% mortality). We also estimated the volume that can be recirculated with pumped seawater using a micro-bubble system. We suggest that this approach of injecting liquefied oxygen through a micro-bubble system may reduce fish mortality during high temperature periods.

We report a nanometer scale mark formation using a $PtO_x$ thin film or a TbFeCo rare-earth transition metal film and the mechanism. The multi-layer samples($ZnS-SiO_2/PtOx/ZNS-SiO_2,\;ZnS-SiO_2/TbFeCo/ZnS-SiO_2$) were prepared with a magnetron sputtering method on a polycarbonate or a glass substrate. By laser irradiation of approximately a few nanoseconds, nanometer scale marks were fabricated. During the fabrication process, the thin films were thermally reacted or inter-diffused during the laser irradiation. 75 nm bubble marks in the PtOx multi-layer sample by an approximately 4-ns laser irradiation. Inside the bubble mark, Pt particles with a few nanometer sizes are distributed. The $50{\sim}100$ nm bubble marks in the TbFeCo multi-layer sample by a few nanosecond laser irradiations. We will report the detail structure of the samples, the bubble mark formation process and the mechanism.
