We performed the experiment to determine the effective factors, such as the initial concentration of protein, pore size of air distributor, SAV (superficial air velocity), pH, salts and temperature related to foaming characteristics. The foam height in a foam generator was increased with the increase of the initial protein concentration and the decrease of pore size. As SAV was increased, the foam height was increased, and the optimum SAV was 0.84 cm/sec. The foam height was highest in the acid region and it was increased with the increase of salt concentration of NaCl and $NaHCO_3.$ The removal efficiencies of TSS (total suspended solid) and turbidity decreased with the increase of the initial protein concentration in the batch foam separator.

Effects of different operating factors including superficial air velocity (SAV), hydraulic residence time (HRT), protein concentration, and foam overflow height on protein removal by a foam fractionator in simulated seawater aquaculture system were investigated. This experiment was conducted on batch and consecutive modes at different combinations of the affecting factors. The foam fractionator had a diameter of 20cm and a height of 120cm and the experiment was conducted with synthetic wastewater. In 5 consecutive trials, protein concentrations in culture tank water decreased faster when the foam fractionator was operated at higher SAVs and lower HRTs. In batch trials, protein removal rates increased with an increase in SAV but decreased with an increase in URT. Higher protein concentrations in the bulk solution resulted in higher protein removal rates. Protein concentrations in the collected foam condensates increased but the foam overflow rates decreased with the increase of foam overflow heights. The results of this experiment indicate that foam fractionation would be an effective way for protein removal in seawater aquaculture systems and the performance of the foam fractionator depends largely on the operating parameters, especially SAV.

An experimental study has been performed on thermal transport from an aluminum foam heat sink under a confined impinging air jet. Three kinds of aluminum foam heat sinks with 10, 20 and 40 PPI and a conventional pin-fin heat sink are tested in the present study. The jet Reynolds number is varied in the range of Re=667～5672 The effect of the confinement disk diameter and the distance between the confinement disk and the heater surface on the averaged Nusselt number is investigated in detail. The results are also compared with those of the unconfined impinging air jet. The critical distance, at which thermal performance shows a minimum compared to the unconfined jet impinging, will be described in terms of the Reynolds number and the pore density of the aluminum foam.

대구지하철 화재사고가 발생한 이후에 국민의 안전에 대한 관심이 높아지고 열차 내부의 재료는 불연성 재질로 모두 변경되었지만 소화 설비에 관한 개발은 미비한 상태이다. 열차는 철판 재질로 둘러싸여 화재 시 일반적인 소화설비를 이용하면 소화하기 매우 어렵다. 본 논문은 실물화재 실험을 통하여 정차된 열차 화재를 압축공기포 소화설비를 활용하여 빠르고 손쉽게 소화할 수 있는 방안에 대하여 연구하였다. 구난역에 정차된 열차의 화재를 소화하기 위해서 창문 파괴장치를 이용하여 열차 유리창을 빠르게 파괴하고 압축공기포 소화설비를 열차 내부에 삽입하여 직접적으로 소화할 수 있도록 하였다. 창문 파괴장치를 이용하여 열차 유리창을 5초 만에 파괴하였으며, 압축공기포 소화설비를 열차 내부에 삽입하고 압축공기포를 방사하여 30초 만에 열방출량 11.88 MW 규모 화재를 진압하였다. 압축공기포 소화설비를 이용하여 화재 확산 방지와 터널 구조물 보호가 가능하도록 추가적인 실험 연구가 필요하다.

PURPOSES : It is to evaluate lightweight soil as a subgrade material based on mechanical tests and calculation of pavement performance. METHODS : In this research, various contents of cement and air foam are used to make lightweight soil using wasted dredged soil. Uniaxial compressive strength test is conducted to evaluate strength of 7 and 28 day cured specimens. Secant modulus was calculated based on the stress and strain relationship of uniaxial compressive strength test. Resilient modulus test was measured using by repeated triaxial compression test. The measured resilient modulus was used in layered elastic program to predict fatigue and rutting life at a given pavement structure. RESULTS : Uniaxial compressive strength increases as cement content increases but decrease as air foam content increases. Resilient modulus also increases as cement content increases and decrease as air foam content decrease. CONCLUSIONS : It is concluded that dredge clay soil can be used as subgrade layer material using by lightweight treated soil method.

This is an experimental study to identify the performance of air-to-air rotary heat exchanger with polyurethane foam matrix. The experimental apparatus including heating AHU(Air Handling Unit), cooling AHU, sensor chamber, and heat exchanger testing unit was designed and manufactured in this study. The performance of heat exchanger with porous polyurethane foam matrix was tested with variations of the density and the thickness of matrix, regulating the wind velocity and the rotational speed of matrix. The actual heat recovery effectiveness, air leakage rate, and pressure drop of heat exchanger were measured and analyzed.

소비자들의 요구 증가로 고급차종에만 적용하던 통풍 시트는 점차 중소형 차종으로 확대 적용되고 있는 추세이다. 팬에서 발생한 유량이 폼 패드, 필터 폼 및 시트 커버 등을 통과하는 과정에서 많은 손실이 발생하기 때문에, 착좌면에 도달하는 유량의 정확한 해석은 쉽지 않다. 또한 유로 형상이 복잡하여 이의 정확한 모델링 없이는 착좌면에 도달하는 정확한 유량의 해석이 힘들다. 본 연구에서는 팬에서 발생한 유동이 통기 매트와 폼 패드를 통과하였을 때의 유량을 해석하였으며, 해석결과와 실험결과를 비교하였다. 해석에서 유동분산판 내부의 돌기 형상을 보다 정확하게 모델링함으로써, 해석결과와 실험결과의 경향을 정확하게 일치시킬 수 있었다. 유량이 통기성 재료인 패드 폼을 통과하는 과정에서 발생한 손실을 실험으로 측정하여 해석결과를 보정함으로써 해석결과와 실험결과를 정확하게 일치시킬 수 있었다. 다음으로 필터 폼과 시트 커버를 통과하여 착좌면에 도달하는 유량을 실험으로 측정하였다. 착좌면에서의 유량이 많지 않아서, 유량 콘을 사용하여 유량을 측정하였다. 팬에서 발생한 유량의 약 35.7%만이 최종적으로 착좌면에 도달하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Metallic porous materials have many interesting combinations of physical and geometrical properties with very low specific weight or high gas permeability. In this study, highly porous Cu foam is successfully fabricated by a slurry coating process. The Cu foam is fabricated specifically by changing the coating amount and the type of polyurethane foam used as a template. The processing parameters and pore characteristics are observed to identify the key parameters of the slurry coating process and the optimized morphological properties of the Cu foam. The pore characteristics of Cu foam are investigated by scanning electron micrographs and micro-CT analyzer, and air permeability of the Cu foam is measured by capillary flow porometer. We confirmed that the characteristics of Cu foam can be easily controlled in the slurry coating process by changing the microstructure, porosity, pore size, strut thickness, and the cell size. It can be considered that the fabricated Cu foams show tremendous promise for industrial application.

The characteristics of foam generation were assessed for freshwater and seawater using a foam generator. Both in freshwater and seawater, the height of the foam layer increased with initial protein concentrations. The height of the foam layer also increased with pore size of the air distributor. The optimum superficial air velocities (SAV) in freshwater and seawater were 0.84 cm/sec and 0.6 cm/sec, respectively. The height of the foam layer was the highest in pH 3 in freshwater and in the region of pH 5-7 in seawater. The height of the foam layer increased with $NaHCO_3$ concentration in freshwater, and $NaHCO_3$ concentration had little effect in seawater. Removal efficiencies of total suspended solid (TSS) and turbidity decreased with an increase of initial protein concentrations in a batch foam separator both in freshwater and seawater.

본 연구에서는 Pneumatic air fitting system을 적용한 기립보조기 제품을 뇌병변 소아환자를 대상으로 기립보조기의 신체 고정용 폼패드(foam pad)와 에어패드(air pad) 사용 시, 뇌병변 장애아동들의 체간 및 하지근육의 수축 양상을 비교 분석하였다. 연구결과, 패드(foam pad vs. air pad) 유형에 따른 근육별 근력 활성도는 차이가 있었다. 이러한 차이는 큰 동작(식사동작)에서 크게 나타나고, 작은 동작(쓰기동작, 읽기동작)이 작게 나타났다. 이는 Pneumatic air fitting system을 적용한 기립보조기 제품 사용 시, 기존 폼패드에 비해 사용자에게 좀 더 편안함을 제공하는 것으로 나타났다.
