Prandtl's mixing length theory was modified to obtain a power velocity distribution in which the coefficient and the exponent are variable over a range from : $$ A simple suspended-sediment concentration distribution was developed from the modified velocity distribytion : $ With nominal values of $\beta$=1.0, $\kappa$=0.4 and visual accumulation tube values of the fall velocity, the comparison between the theory and field measurements by the USGS on the Rio Grande is fair. Doubling the value of the exponent results in a good comparison. Further researches are needed for choosing the values of $\beta$, $\kappa$, and fall velocity values, and consideration on the effects of large-scale turbulence and secondary flows are necessary for them. In a pragmatic sense, on any gaging sites the close analysis of very detailed measurements can establish its specific coefficient and exponent.

In this pager, the authors have implemented a blood flow simulator and a LDF(laser Doppler flowmeter) probe using self-mixing effect of the laser diode. The purpose of the blood flow simulator is to simulate microvascular blood flow in tissue. It consists of melinex film (thickness = $123\;{\mu}m$) which has similar optical characteristics to epidermis and porous polyethylene filter (Vyon, porosity 35%, mean pore size $50\;{\mu}m$, thickness=1 mm) which has similar optical characteristics to dermis. The blood flowmeter probe consists of laser diode(5 mW, 780 nm wavelength), CD lens(focal length 12 mm). current-to-voltage converter, highpass filter, and premplifier. It doesn't need optical fiber, therefore, implementation of the probe is simpler than conventional probe using optical fiber.

A series of consolidated undrained triaxial tests for compacted short fiber reinforced clay were performed to increase the field applications, e.g. retaining wall, waste landfill, soft ground etc. of soil admixtures mixed with short fiber. Kaolin clay and three types of fiber were selected. To acquire reliable length of fibers, an auto cutter was used and a helical mixer was also used to avoid floating of fibers during mixing soil and fibers. It is found that reinforcing effect by aspect ratio and mixing ratio of short fiber decreases as confining pressure is increased. Reinforcing effect has a maximum value at the aspect ratio of 120 and the fiber content of 0.6%∼1.2% and low confining pressure like 50kPa.

A high motive pressure thermal vapor compressor(TVC) for a commercial multi-effect desalination(MED) plant is designed to have a high entraining performance and its robustness is also considered in the respect of operating stability at the abrupt change of the operating pressures like the motive and suction steam pressure which can be easily fluctuated by the external disturbance. The TVC having a good entraining performance of more than entrainment ratio 6.0 is designed through the iterative CFD analysis for the various primary nozzle diameter, mixing tube diameter and mixing tube length. And then for a couple of TVC having a similar entrainment ratio, the changes of the entrainment ratio are checked along the motive and suction pressure change. The system stability is diagnosed through the analyzing the changing pattern of the entrainment ratio.

The relationship between velocity, viscosity, diffusion coefficient, mass transfer coefficient and characteristic length and mass transfer data can be correlated by dimensionless relationship in electrolytic process. The performance of dyestuff removal was decreased as the flow rate of electrolyte was increased. It was due to the effect of retention time decreasing was superior to that of turbulent inlet mixing. Sh/Sc$\^$1/3/ vs Re plot for Al flat electrode did not showed the general tendency of the relationship between Sh/Sc$\^$1/3/ and Re. It can be thought that flow rate was not sufficiently high to increase the effect of mixing.

Numerical simulations are conducted to investigate the mechanism of spontaneous ignition of hydrogen within a certain length of downstream pipe released by the failure of pressure boundaries of various geometric assumption. The results show that local ignition is developed in limited area such as boundary layer and the mixing of hydrogen and air is weak at the planar pressure boundary conditions, whereas the flame fronts at the contact region are developed at the pressure boundaries of the spherical shape.

Intermolecular interactions were studied for binary mixtures of 2-propanol + cyclohexane, n-hexane, benzene, toluene, o-, m- and p-xylenes by measuring ultrasonic speeds (u) over the entire range of composition at 298.15 K and 308.15 K. From these results the deviation in ultrasonic speed was calculated. These results were fitted to the Redlich-Kister equation to derive the binary coefficients along with standard deviations between the experimental and calculated data. Acoustic parameters such as excess isentropic compressibility ($K_s^E$), intermolecular free length ($L_f$) and available volume ($V_a$) were also derived from ultrasonic speed data and Jacobson's free length theory. The ultrasonic speed data were correlated by Nomoto's relation, Van Dael's mixing relation, impedance dependence relation, and Schaaff's collision factor theory. Van Dael's relation gives the best prediction of u in the binary mixtures containing aliphatic hydrocarbons. The ultrasonic speed data and isentropic compressibility were further analyzed in terms of Jacobson's free length theory.

The effervescent atomizer is one of twin-fluid atomizers that aeration gas enters into bulk liquid and two-phase flow is formed in the mixing section. The effervescent atomizer requires low injection pressure and small amount of aeration gas, as compared to other twin-fluid atomizers. In this study, cold flow test was conducted to investigate the spray characteristics of aerated impinging jets. The present effervescent impinging atomizers were composed of the aerator device and like-on-like doublet impinging atomizer which had different impinging angles. To analyze the spray characteristics such as breakup length and droplet size distribution, the image processing technique was adopted by using instantaneous images at each flow condition. Non-dimensional parameters, induced by the homogeneous flow model, were used to predict the breakup length. The breakup length was decreased with the mixture Reynolds number and impinging angle increasing. The result of droplets showed that the size distribution was axisymmetric about the center of the injector and their diameter tended to decrease with increasing GLR.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of the type of base papers containing rice straw-BKP on the properties and printabilities of coated papers. Also, it was intended to evaluate the effect of coated paper prepared with anionic and amphoteric latex based coating color. The results obtained from this study were as follows. The fiber length of rice straw-BKP was observed much shorter than those of the wood pulps(Sw-BKP, Hw-BKP). This has effect on physical properties. Therefore, the results of measured physical properties were much lower than those of wood pulps. Also, physical properties tended to increase slightly with the increase of the mixing ratio of Sw-BKP. Opacity of the base paper containing rice straw-BKP, was higher than that of the wood pulps. As the mixing ratio of Sw-BKP increases the opacity tended to decrease. On the other hand, smoothness and roughness to rice straw-BKP were similar with Sw-BKP and its air permeability was lower than those of wood pulps. The optical properties of coated papers containing rice straw-BKP tended to be similar to those of other base papers. The ink receptivity of coated papers containg rice straw-BKP was higher than those of wood pulps and printing gloss was similar to wood pulps. The mixing ratio of Sw-BKP, the ink receptivity and printing gloss of rice straw-BKP were showed no difference irrespective the mixing ratio of Sw-BKP. Meannwhile, amphoteric latex improved the optical properties and printability of coated papers.

A micromixer plays an important role in Bio-MEMS or μ-TAS. Mixing is generally generated by turbulence and interdiffusion of two fluids. Because of low Reynolds number values (Re << 2000) within microchannels, it is difficult to generate turbulence, and consequently mixing mainly depends on interdiffusion. So, channel distance is often prohibitively long to mix two different fluids properly. To reduce this mixing length, we proposed a new mixer for micromixing in which two fluids were effectively mixed by an ultrasonic wave generated by PMN-PT. The ultrasonic wave was radiated into a chamber In the cross-sectional direction into the boundary surface formed by two fluids. The two fluids were positioned one on top of the other. The mixing state was measured by observing the color of samples due to the reaction of NaOH and phenolphthalein.
