One-dimensional oxygen transport relation is indispensable to study the oxygen distribution in the LBE-cooled system with an oxygen control device. In this paper, a numerical research is carried out to study the oxygen transport characteristics in a gas-phase oxygen control device, including the static case and dynamic case. The model of static oxygen control is based on the two-phase VOF model and the results agree well with the theoretical expectation. The model of dynamic oxygen control is simplified and the gas-liquid interface is treated as a free surface boundary with a constant oxygen concentration. The influences of the inlet and interface oxygen concentration, mass flow rate, temperature, and the inlet pipe location on the mass transfer characteristics are discussed. Based on the results, an oxygen mass transport relation considering the temperature dependence and velocity dependence separately is obtained. The relation can be used in a one-dimensional system analysis code to predict the oxygen provided by the oxygen control device, which is an important part of the integral oxygen mass transfer models.

The objective of this study was to investigate the oxygen transfer characteristics of an ejector aeration system. In order to evaluate the oxygen transfer performance of the ejector aeration system, a comparative experiment was conducted on a conventional blower aeration system. The effect of entrained air flow rate and aerating water temperature on the oxygen transfer efficiency was investigated. The dissolved oxygen concentration increased with increasing entrained air flow rate, but decreased with increasing aerating water temperature for two aeration systems. The volumetric mass transfer coefficient increased with increasing entrained air flow rate and with increasing aerating water temperature for both aeration systems. The average mass transfer coefficient for the ejector aeration system was about 20% and 42% higher than that of the blower aeration system within the experimental range of entrained air flow rates and aerating water temperatures.

본 논문은 수직 오리피스 노즐의 유동 및 물질전달 특성에 대한 실험적 연구를 목적으로 한다. 구동유체 및 부유체의 유량, 용존산소 농도 그리고 소비 전력을 측정하였으며, 고속 카메라를 이용한 직접 촬영 기법으로 수직 혼합유동의 가시화 이미지를 획득하였다. 측정자료를 이용하여 질량비, 총괄 산소전달 계수 그리고 물질전달 성능계수를 도출하였다. 구동압력이 증가하면 질량비는 약간 감소하는 반면에, 산소전달 계수와 소비전력은 증가하였다. 구동압력이 증가하고 질량비가 작아지면, 기포의 미세화가 촉진되고 확산도가 증대되기 때문에 산소 전달율이 증가하였다.

본 논문은 수직 오리피스 이젝터의 혼합유동 및 산소전달 특성에 대한 실험적 연구를 목적으로 한다. 실험장치는 전동 모터-펌프, 오리피스 이젝터, 순환 수조, 공기압축기, 고속 카메라 시스템 그리고 제어 및 측정기기로 구성하였다. 측정된 구동유체 및 유입공기의 유량을 이용하여 유량비를 도출하였다. 이적터에서 분출된 혼합유동의 가시화를 통해 정성적 거동을 고찰하였으며, 용존산소 농도를 측정하여 총괄 산소전달계수를 도출하였다. 구동유체의 유량이 일정하고 압축기의 공기압이 높아지면 유량비와 산소전달계수는 증가하며, 압축기의 공기압이 일정하고 구동유체의 유량이 증가하면 유량비는 감소하지만 산소전달계수는 증가하였다. 기포의 크기에 따른 체류시간 및 확산도와 수직 혼합유동의 도달거리는 2 상의 접촉면적과 시간에 크게 영향을 미치기 때문에 산소전달율의 중요한 변수임을 유추할 수 있다.

Xanthomonas campestris에 의한 생물고분자 xanthan gum 생산의 경우 배양액은 xanthan gum의 농도가 증가하면서 고점도의 non-Newtonian 유체로 변하게 되는데 이로 인하여 영양분과 산소의 물질전달이 저해를 받아 미생물의 성장과 xanthan gum의 생합성이 제한을 받게 된다. 본 연구에서는 교반속도를 변화시켜 가면서 회분식 및 유가식 배양을 하였으며 산소전달계수 측정실험을 하여 물질전달의 영향을 조사하였다. 미생물의 성장속도는 산소전달전달계수 변화에 대해 크게 영향을 받지 않았지만 xanthan gum의 생산속도는 산소전달계수값에 크게 의존하였다.

An advanced mobile technology is described for saturating water with oxygen. The MTR(Mass Transfer Reactor) is 2~10 times more effective in dissolving oxygen in water compared to most other systems used in aquaculture, because it can generate extremely small(0.005~0.05mm) bubbles. New fish farming facilities could make use of this technology to build deeper ponds for raising multiple species with optimized conditions for DO(dissolved oxygen), food, light, etc. The proposed technology offers higher DO levels with minimal operating costs. It is easy to use and maintain, with a high reproducibility. Accordingly, the MTR can be industrially applied in the treatment of fish waste and reduction of water consumption during fish farming.

Reduction reactivity and carbon deposition characteristics of mass produced oxygen carrier particle(OCN-650) have been investigated by using hydrogen, methane, syngas, and natural gas as fuels. For all fuels, the maximum conversion and oxygen transfer capacity increased as the temperature increase. The reduction rate and the oxygen transfer rate increased as the temperature increase for methane. However, those values showed maximum at 900$^{\circ}C$ for hydrogen, syngas, and natural gas. To explain consistently the change of maximum conversion, reduction rate, oxygen transfer capacity, oxygen transfer rate and degree of carbon deposition for different fuels, new parameters such as reactive carbon contents and require oxygen per input gas were adopted.

공기분리 PSA 공정설계에 적용할 물질전달계수를 구하기 위하여 흡착탑을 통과하는 질소와 산소의 농도에 대한 동적파과곡선을 실험적으로 측정하였다. 그 결과를 전산모사에 의한 파과곡선과 비교하여 벌크흐름 중의 물질전달속도를 예측하였다. 전산모사에서 흡착은 coupled Langmuir isotherm을 따른다고 보았으며, 물질전달은 LDF 모델에 의해 표현된다고 가정하였다. 실험과 이론의 비교를 통해 얻은 물질전달계수는 유속에는 거의 영향을 받지 않았으나 압력 조건에 따라 민감한 변화를 보였다. 이를 통해 물질전달저항이 거대기공 확산영역에 있음을 예측할 수 있었으며, 물질전달계수를 압력변화에 대해 지수함수의 형태로 표현하였다. 질소나 산소 단일 성분에 대해서 얻은 물질전달계수는 질소와 산소 혼합 벌크기체의 파과곡선에 적용했을 경우에도 5% 이하의 오차로 잘 일치함을 보여주었다.

Corrosion of structural materials presents a critical challenge in the use of lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) as a nuclear coolant in an accelerator-driven system. By forming a protective layer on the steel surfaces, corrosion of steels in LBE cooled reactors can be mitigated. The amount of oxygen concentration required to create a continuous and stable oxide layer on steel surfaces is related to the oxidation process. So far, there is no oxidation experiment in fuel assemblies (FA), let alone specific oxidation detail information. This information can be, however, obtained by numerical simulation. In the present study, a new coupling method is developed to implement a coupling between the oxygen mass transfer model and the commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software ANSYS-CFX. The coupling approach is verified. Using the coupling tool, we study the oxidation process of the FA and investigate the effects of different inlet parameters, such as temperature, flow rate on the mass transfer process.

Molten iron with 2 mass % carbon content was decarbonized at 1823 K~1923 K by bubbling $Ar+O_2$ gas through a submerged nozzle. The reaction rate was significantly influenced by the oxygen partial pressure and the gas flow rate. Little evolution of CO gas was observed in the initial 5 seconds of the oxidation; however, this was followed by a period of high evolution rate of CO gas. The partial pressure of CO gas decreased with further progress of the decarbonization. The overall reaction is decomposed to two elementary reactions: the decarbonization and the dissolution rate of oxygen. The assumptions were made that these reactions are at equilibrium and that the reaction rates are controlled by mass transfer rates within and around the gas bubble. The time variations of carbon and oxygen contents in the melt and the CO partial pressure in the off-gas under various bubbling conditions were well explained by the mathematical model. Based on the present model, it was explained that the decarbonization rate of molten iron was controlled by gas-phase mass transfer at the first stage of reaction, but the rate controlling step was transferred to liquid-phase mass transfer from one third of reaction time.
