  • 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.

  • This paper describes enhancement of the mixing efficiency of a multilamination micro mixer by adding a number of recirculation zones downstream of the mixing zone. Numerical simulation was employed to estimate the mixing efficiency and the pressure drop under various conditions. Numerical results indicated that recirculation micro mixer brought about not only the increase of the mixing efficiency but also the decrease of the pressure drop. Micro mixers were fabricated using photosensitive glass by anisotropic wet etching technique. The width and height of the micro channel were $150{\mu}m$ and $500{\mu}m$, respectively. The performance of micro mixer was measured using color intensity variation of the fluid. Except for extremely low Re below 40, the recirculation micro mixer of the present study showed improved mixing. And the enhancement of the mixing increased as Re rose. When Re increased beyond 400, more than 90% of the mixing was observed in the experiment.

  • DCM공법(심층혼합처리 공법)은 흙막이 벽체 등 구조물 조성에 적용하였다. 이러한 DCM 벽체는 경질층에서 관입능력이 있어야 한다. DCM 장비에 부착된 교반날개에 의해 경질지반의 관입능력이 증가되는 알아보기 위해 특수교반날개가 고안되었다. 경질점토층에 관입되는 특수교반날개의 관입특성은 김해와 인천현장에서 조사하였다. 고안한 특수교반날개는 관입속도가 다소 느려도 N=30 이상 되는 지반까지 관입되었고 관입시 효율이 경질지반에서 낮아질 수 있으므로 경제적인 교반날개의 관입깊이를 분석하였다.

  • Effective mixing is an important problem in microfluidics for chemical and biomechanical applications. In this study, the influences of the Reynolds number and the oscillating frequency on mixing characteristics of micro-stirrer are studied in a microchannel with single stirrer. The influence of fluid inertial effects in an active mixer is first discussed. It is found that the stirring effects by stirrer oscillation are promptly attenuated at low Reynolds number, which makes greatly difficult the rapid mixing. As the inertial effects are increased, the chaotic advection is generated and then developed. The mixing phase is finally developed some mushroom shaped structure. And the mixing efficiency is also studied as a function of the oscillating frequency. We found that the mixing efficiency does not always increase with higher oscillating frequency of stirrer. Consequently, we found the functional relation between the optimal frequency of a stirrer and the Reynolds number.

  • Mixing between two or more reagents is one of important processes in biochemical microfluidics. In efficient micromixer design, it is essential to analyze flow pattern and evaluate mixing efficiency with good precision. In this work, mixing efficiency for Y-channel micromixer is measured by fluorescence intensity using LIF(Laser Induced Fluorescence) Confocal Microscope. The Y-channel micromixers are fabricated with polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS) and those are bonded to glass plate through Plasma bonding. Nile Blue A is injected into the micromixer as a fluorescence dye for measuring of fluorescence intensity by He/Ne laser. For visualization of the flow pattern, dynamic image capturing is carried out using CAM scope. For the comparison with computer simulation, modified SIMPLE algorithm for incompressible flow equation is solved for the same geometry as in the experiment. Throughout the experiments and computer simulation, accurate mixing efficiency evaluation process for a PDMS Y-channel micromixer is established.

  • Dissolved air flotation is a solid-liquid separation system that uses fine bubbles rising from bottom to remove particles in water. In order to enhance the flotation velocity and removal efficiency of flocs in the flotation process, we tried to obtain pretreatment conditions for the optimum DAF process operation by comparing and evaluating features of actual floc formation and flotation velocity etc, according to coagulant types and conditions for flocculation mixing intensity by using PIA, PDA, and FSA. Accordingly, generating big flocs that have low density at low flocculation mixing intensity may reduce treatment efficiency. In addition, generating small flocs at high flocculation mixing intensity makes floc-bubbles smaller, which reduces flotation velocity, In this study, it was found that high flocculation mixing intensity could not remove the remaining micro-particles after flocculation, which had negative effects on treated water quality, Therefore, in order to enhance treatment efficiency in a flotation process, flocculation mixing intensity around $50sec^{-1}$ is effective.

  • Deep mixing method has been used for ground improvement and foundation system for embankment, port and harbor foundations, retaining wall, and liquefaction mitigations. It has attractive benefits because it is not only improved strength of soft ground but superior for prevention of settlement. However, the quality controls of improved mass affect to the efficiency of the deep mixing method is not properly established. These effects vary depending upon the construction environments and conditions of agitation in consideration of an agitator. The strength and shape of the improved column are not unique and these are affected by mechanical properties of agitators. In this study, in order to investigate the efficiency of deep mixing method for ground improvement on a soft clay ground, experimental studies are performed considering mechanical properties of agitator; the location of exit-hole of admixtures, an angle of mixing wing and a speed of revolution. The experiments are conducted with the simulated apparatus for deep mixing plant that reduced the scale in 1:8 of the real plant. According to the results, the diameter and shape of improved column mass vary depending on the mechanical properties and operating conditions of agitator. Its quality is better when the exit-hole of admixtures is located in the mixing wing, when an angle of mixing wing is large, and when the speed of revolution is rapid.

  • 본 연구는 축산폐수의 혐기성 처리 시 교반의 영향에 대하여 연구자에 따라 서로 다른 결과가 보고되어 우리나라 축산폐수에 적용 시 교반의 영향을 파악할 필요가 있어 실시하였다. 4개의 혐기성 소화조를 중온 또는 고온으로 유지하면서 연속적으로 교반시키거나 교반 시키지 않고 운전하였다. 온도가 같은 경우 연속으로 교반한 반응조가 교반하지 않은 반응조의 TCOD 제거효율에 비하여 0.11-0.58% 높게 나타났다. 그리고 중온 소화조의 TCOD 제거효율이 고온 소화조의 TCOD 제거효율과 거의 같아 온도에 따른 TCOD 제거효율 간에는 큰 차이가 없었다. 연속적으로 교반한 소화조의 가스 발생량이 교반하지 않은 소화조에 비하여 1.7-4.6% 많았다. 또한 중온 소화조의 가스 발생량은 고온 소화조보다 29.1-32.1% 높고 메탄 발생량도 많았는데 이는 고온 소화조의 암모니아 저해로 인한 것으로 판단된다. 이러한 실험 결과를 종합하면 축산폐수를 혐기성으로 처리 시 중온에서 운전되고 연속적으로 교반한 반응조의 운전 조건이 더 좋은 것으로 판단된다.
