Experiments have been performed to find out the effect of the mixing port length of Y-jet atomizers on the spray performance, using air and water as the test fluids. Water and air flow rates and drop sizes were measured at each injection pressure condition for different mixing port length. The air flow rate was almost unaffected by the change of the mixing port length. However, the water flow rate was relatively susceptible to the change of the mixing port length. The mixing point pressure was very much influenced by the mixing port length. Variations of spatial distribution of Sauter Mean Diameter (SMD, $D_{32}$) and the cross-section-averaged SMD ($D_{32,m}$) with different mixing port length and air/water mass flow rate ratio were examined. Generally, when the mixing port length was reduced, the mean drop size decreased and became spatially even.

Hot-firing tests were performed to experimentally confirm the effect of the eigenmode in the fuel-air mixing section on combustion instability by changing mixing section length, inlet mean velocity, equivalence ratio, and swirler geometry. A premixed gas composed of air and ethylene was supplied to the combustion chamber through an mixing section and an axial swirler. As the mixing section length increased, the inlet velocity perturbation decreased, but the combustion instability increased more. It was found that the resonance frequency of the first longitudinal mode in the mixing section shifted to the third longitudinal mode as the length of the mixing section increased. The results implied that the transition of the resonace frquency by changing the length of the mixing section might cause combustion instability.

There is increasing evidence that the convective mixing length (α) in stellar evolution models depends on metallicity of stars. In order to confirm a more precise metallicity-dependent mixing length trend, we investigate the effective temperature and metallicity of 14 red supergiant stars (RSGs) in the irregular dwarf galaxy IC 1613 using the near-infrared spectra observed with the MMIRS on the MMT telescope. From the synthetic spectral fitting to the observed spectra, we find that the mean metallicity is about [Fe/H]=0.69 with a weak bimodal distribution. We also find that the effective temperature of RSGs in IC 1613 is higher by about 250 K than that of the SMC on average. We compare the RSG position with stellar evolutionary tracks on the HR diagram, finding that models with α = 2.2-2.4 H_p can best reproduce the effective temperatures of the RSGs in IC 1613. It is evident that the mixing length values for IC 1613 is lower than that of the Milky Way. This result supports our previous study on a metallicity-dependent mixing length: mixing length decreases with decreasing metallicity of host galaxies. However, this dependency becomes relatively weak for RSGs having a metallicity equal to or less than the SMC metallicity.

The experimental study was performed to investigate the effects of partial premixing, varying the equivalence ratio, mixing degree, swirl intensity, mixing length on the characteristics of flame structure and NOx emission. Experiments were conducted in a dump combustor at 1 bar using methane as fuel. Inlet air temperature was 570K. OH chemiluminescence images were acquired with an ICCD camera. As a result of the experimental investigation of characteristics of flame and NOx emission in partial premixed combustor, we can conclude the results as below. With the increase of swirl number, The flame length decreases and the flame width increases and it helps flame stabilization. It means that lean flammability limit is extended. With the increase of mixing of fuel-air length ratio, Flame goes to be stabilized and NOx emission and $OH^{\ast}$ intensity decrease. Through the comparison of preceding results, It is possible that the exhausted NOx emission from a gas turbine combustor will be able to predict through the $OH^{\ast}$ intensity.

We simulated the mixing characteristics in micro T-channel using Lattice Boltzmann Method. We studied the relation a mixing length and pressure-drop due to inlet and outlet ration in Reynolds number 0.5, Peclet number 500 and Schmidt 1000. The ratio of a down-inlet to up-inlet was $0.5{\sim}1.5$ times, up-inlet to outlet was $1{\sim}3$ times and outlet length was 250 times to up-inlet. The mixing length decrease linearly as outlet ratio decreased, and pressure-drip increase non-linearly. Initial stage of micro channel mixture was fast by down-inlet ratio, however, the mixing length is not influence.

Recess is a geometrical configuration shape that the exit surface of an inner injector is located at a certain length inward from that of an outer injector. It is known to have the characteristics that it can augment mixing efficiency and flame stabilization through internal mixing of propellant in it. So, various experiments, such as backlit stroboscopic photography, phase Doppler particle analyzer(PDPA) and mechanical patternator, were performed at several recess lengths to grasp its effect on the spray characteristics of spray angle, breakup length, atomization and' mixing. Recess length was normalized to dimensionless recess number and two principal mechanisms of impingement and swirl recovery were introduced to explain its influence on the spray characteristics. The effect of recess on SMD doesn't appear significantly near the recess number where mixing efficiency attains to the maximum, whereas mass distribution and mixing efficiency are changed considerably. Thus, it can be inferred that a certain optimum recess number exists, where mixing efficiency becomes the maximum.

Starting pressure of a supersonic ejector with a second-throat was investigated. In case of mixing chamber length longer than a critical length, starting pressure is in proportion to length of the mixing chamber. In this study, we assumed that the ejector starts when the primary supersonic flow reaches inlet of the second-throat and the distance of the supersonic flow traveling can be expressed by multiplying an empirical factor to the first diamond shock length of overexpanded flow. To calculate the overexpanded supersonic flow, a mixing model was employed to compute secondary flow pressure and the result was applied to back pressure condition of overexpanded flow calculation. In the result, for three cases of primary nozzle area ratio, we could get accurate model of predicting the starting pressure by selecting a suitable empirical factors around 3.

In this paper, the PDMS based micromixer having 3-dimension triangular structure has been developed for the reaction of samples in the micro volume. The mixing efficiency was measured according to the change of Reynolds number (Re: 0.08, 0.8, 8, 16) and channel height (100, 200, $300{\mu}m$). Total length of mixing region is 7.4 mm and the measured mixing efficiencies at the outlet were over 85 %. Within the mixing length 2.4 mm, the mixing efficiencies were more than 70 % at any Reynolds numbers, and this indicates the strong mixing has occurred inside the mixing channel due the triangular structures. By employing these 2 mixers, we have fabricated the microreactor to detect the glucose-catalysts reaction. The microreactor showed good reactivity of glucose and enzymes with the small amount of sample solution.

The flameless combustion has been considered as one of the promising combustion technology for high thermal efficiency, reducing NOx and CO emissions. In this paper, the effect of air and fuel injection condition on formation of flameless combustion was analyzed using three dimensional numerical simulation. The results show that the high temperature region and the average temperature was decreased due to increase of recirculation ratio when air velocity is increased. The average temperature was also affected by entrainment length. Generally mixing effect was enhanced at low entrainment length and dilution was dominated at high entrainment length. This entrainment length was greatly affected by air and fuel injection velocity and distance between air and fuel. It is also found that the recirculation ratio and dilution effect were generally increased by entrainment length and the recirculation ratio, mixing and dilution effect are the significant factor for design of flameless combustion system.

압력수 확산공정은 정수공정에서 응집제나 염소용해수를 고압의 압력수로 분사하여 혼합하는 공정이다. 본 연구의 목적은 압력수 확산공정에 대한 전산유체역학적(Computational Fluid Dynamics) 진단을 통해 투입한 약품의 완전 혼합거리 및 혼합 거리를 줄이기 위한 확산판의 크기와 설치거리를 도출하는 것이다. 진단결과 2,200 mm 대형관에 $5kg/cm^2$ 압력수를 50mm, 100 mm 분사관으로 분사할 경우 혼합이 완료되는 혼합거리는 4D였다. 혼합거리를 줄이기 위해 분사관 전방에 확산판을 설치할 경우 분사관이 50 mm일 때 0.1D 직경의 확산판을 분사관 전방 0.2D 거리에 설치하면 혼합거리를 3D로 줄일 수있다. 그러나 분사관이 100 mm인 경우는 확산판의 크기와 설치 거리와는 상관없이 확산판이 없는 4D보다 확산거리를 줄일 수 없는 것으로 진단되었다. 따라서 2,200 mm 관에 압력수를 분사하는 경우는 50 mm 분사관을 설치하는 것이 100 mm보다 훨씬 효율적인 것으로 나타났다.
