This study configured the conventional $A^2O$ (Anaerobic-Anoxic-Aerobic bioreactor) system which the fixed media immersed into the anoxic reactor(Named PFR system : Plug Flow Reactor) for evaluating the removal efficiency of nitrogen in the wastewater. The experimental equipment was a cylinder which was consist of 4 pleated PE Pipes(Length 330M, Diameter 100mm) including 2 rope shape media. As a result, the average effluent T-N removal efficiency of the conventional $A^2O$ system was 17.9, 40.3, 50.6, 44.6% in each mode, but the average effluent T-N removal efficiency of the PFR system could achieve 38.8, 57.1, 71.8, 65.4% in each mode. It indicated that the PFR system caused to the increasing of C/N ratio that effected to the increasing of the denitrification efficiency. Not only the effective T-N removal efficiency but also the controllable install space will give advantages for retrofitting of the wastewater treatment plant with the conventional treatment system to the PFR system.

Spiral tubes are used in a wide range of applications and it is significant to understand the vibration introduced by two-phase flow in spiral tubes. In this paper, the numerical method is used to study the vibration induced by the gas-liquid two-phase flow in a spiral tube with different flow regimes. The pressure fluctuation characteristics at the pipe wall and the solid vibration response characteristics are obtained. The results show that the motion of small bubbles in bubbly flow leads to small pressure fluctuations with low-frequency broadband (0-50 Hz). The motion of the gas plug in the plug flow causes small amplitude periodic pressure fluctuation with a shortened low-frequency broadband (0-15 Hz) compared to the bubbly flow. The motion of the gas slug in the slug flow causes large periodic fluctuations in pressure with a significant dominant frequency (6-7 Hz). The wavy flow is very stable and has a distinct main frequency (1-2 Hz). The vibration regime in the bubbly flow and wave flow are close to the first-order mode, and the vertical vibrating component is dominant. The plug flow and slug flow excite higher-order vibration modes, and the lateral vibration component plays more important part in the vibration response.

부착성 미생물을 이용하여 기체상 오염물질을 여과 방식으로 처리하는 생물 공정은 기체상의 흐름 특성과 공정 인자간 관련성이 매우 복잡하게 작용하는 특징을 가진다. 본 연구는 기체상 공정의 특성으로 미세한 변화에도 반응이 급변하는 현상과 물질간 반응관계의 중요성을 고려하여 일반화된 plug flow계 반응조의 공정 분석 도구로 활용 가능한 1차원 동적 수치해석 모델을 개발하였다. 개발 모델은 물질수지 원리를 기초하여 확산을 단순화하고 물질간 경쟁, 상승, 억제 반응 등 상호 반응관계를 반영하여 구성이 용이하도록 하였다. 개발 모델의 적용성 평가는 저속과 고속으로 구분된 BTX 제거 실험에 대하여 보정과 검정 절차로 수행되었다. 개발 모델은 고속 조건의 toluene을 제외하고 모든 조건과 항목에서 상관계수($R^2$) 0.79 이상에서 실험 결과를 재현하였다. 개발 모델은 연속흐름(plug flow)계로써 기체상-생물막의 일반화된 공정에 적용할 수 있는 것으로 평가되었으며 복잡하고 다양한 공정 실험에서 설계 인자 분석 및 효율 평가에 유용한 도구로 사용될 수 있다.

저심도 터널에서는 온도차에 의한 부력을 이용한 자연배기시스템이 많이 사용되고 있지만 이는 연기배출을 인위적으로 조절할 수 없다. 그러므로 자연배기시스템에서는 수직환기구에서 연기 배출량이 설계된 연기 배출량보다 적어지는 Plug-holing 현상을 고려한 설계가 필수적이다. Plug-holing 현상은 터널과 수직환기구의 형상 위치, 화원의 위치와 발열량 등에 영향을 받는다. 본 연구에서는 터널과 자연 환기구의 단면적 비와 화원의 열방출률이 자연배기시스템에서 발생하는 Plug-holing 현상에 미치는 영향에 대하여 실험적으로 분석하였다. 1/20 크기로 축소시킨 실험모델에서 터널과 수직환기구의 종횡비는 고정시키고 터널과 수직환기구의 단면적 비를 달리하여 Plug-holing 현상에 미치는 영향을 확인하였다. 화원의 열방출율은 0.55 kW, 0.98 kW, 1.67 kW로 고정시켰다. 실험결과, 연기 경계층온도와 수직환기구 내의 온도와의 비교를 통한 Plug-holing 발생을 판단하였고, 터널과 수직환기구의 단면적 비가 증가함에 따라서 수직환기구 하부의 유동과 온도분포 특성이 변함을 확인하였다. 터널 화재 시 Plug-holing 현상은 터널과 수직환기구의 단면적 비에 영향을 받으며 단면적 비가 클수록 Plug-holing 발생 가능성이 증가하였다.

A numerical investigation is conducted to search for the optimal flow rate for a rotating-disk chemical vapor decomposition reactor operating at a high temperature and a low pressure. The flow of a gas mixture supplied into the reactor is modeled by a laminar flow of an ideal gas obeying the kinetic theory. The axisymmetric two-dimensional flow in the reactor is simulated by employing a CFD package FLUENT. With operating pressure and temperature fixed, numerical computations are performed by varying rotation rate and flow rate. Examination of the structures of flow and thermal fields leads to a flow regime diagram illustrating that there are a stable plug-like flow regime and a few unfavorable flow regimes induced by mass unbalance or buoyancy. The criterion for sustaining a plug-like flow regime is discussed based on a theoretical scaling argument. Interpretation of the flow regime map suggests that a favorable flow is attainable with a minimum flow rate at the smallest rotation rate guaranteeing the dominance of rotation effects over buoyancy.

Glove valves are used for various purposes in the process control field because such valves enable easy control of temperature and pressure. However, such valves are associated with significant loss of pressure and also have the disadvantage of complicating the shape of the cage or plug to facilitate linear flow rate change. In this paper, the shape of the plug, one of the valve flow control elements, was designed to improve the flow characteristics of the glove valve, and then CFD analysis was performed using compressible fluid. The numerical analysis results of the glove valve were analyzed according to the opening ratio and the pressure ratio of the valve. From these results, it was found that the proper notch on the side of the plug contributed to reducing the energy loss of the fluid through the valve and improving the linearity of the valve.

The ice plugging process consists of placing liquid nitrogen around a pipe and removing heat until the water in the pipe freezes and provides a solid plug or seal against fluid movement. This technique enables us to repair or inspect a pipe system without shutdown of entire system. A set of test apparatus for investigation of the liquid freezing phenomena during ice plugging is prepared. This study shows the characteristics of the liquid freezing and the heat transfer with various pipe and freezing jacket conditions. And in case there is flow of the fluid inside the pipe, the flow rate which can be able to form the ice plug is identified with the effect of the pipe diameter and freezing jacket length on the plug formation. The permissible maximum flow rate for the complete plug formation is approximately proportional to the freezing jacket length at the same pipe diameter condition.

Two phase flows have been numerically calculated to analyze plume characteristics and liquid circulation in gas injection through a porous plug. The Eulerian approach has been for formulation of both the continuous and dispersed phases. The turbulence in the liquid phase has been modeled using the standard $textsc{k}$-$\varepsilon$ turbulence model. The interphase friction coefficient has been calculated using correlations available in the literature. The turbulent dispersion of the phase has been modeled by the "dispersion Prand시 number". The predicted mean flows is compared well with the experimental data. The plume region area and the axial velocities are increased with the gas flow rate and with the decrease in the inlet area. The turbulent intensity also shows the same trend. Also, the space-averaged turbulent kinetic energy for various gas flow rates and inlet areas has been obtained. The results are of interest in the design and operation of a wide variety of materials and chemical processing operations.

Two methods were used to detrermine the net photosynthetic rate(NPR) in the plug stand using a wind tunnel for plug seedlings Production. One is called as the integration method in which NPR calculated by the use of air current speed and $CO^2$ concentration measured at any heights above the medium surface in a wind tunnel were summed. It was assumed that the air flow at any layer did not mix with the lower or upper air layer. The other is called as the diffusion method in which eddy diffusivities above the plug stand were used to determine the NPR in the plug stand. In this method, $CO^2$ above or inside the plug stand was assumed to be absorbed vertically. NPR determined by the diffusion method was 28~45% of the NPR calculated by the integration method. Considering the magnitude of NPR and the effects of the air current speed on NPR, the integration method would be adequate for the calculation of NPR in the plug stand. Maximum NPR determined using the integration method appeared at the air current speed of 0.7m $s^{-1}$. It was ascribed to the decreased diffusion resistances of $CO^2$ with the increasing air current speed. NPR at the rear region in plug stand was 20~34% lower than that at the front region. NPR sharply decreased with the increase of an elapsed time after the beginning of photoperiod. Therefore $CO^2$ enrichment would be effective to force the growth of plug seedlings in a semi-closed ecological system under artificial lighting.
