  • A new cavitating model by using bubble size distribution based on bubbles-mass has been proposed. Both liquid and vapor phases are treated with Eulerian framework as a mixture containing minute cavitating bubbles. In addition vapor phase consists of various sizes of vapor bubbles, which are distributed to classes based on their mass. The bubble number-density for each class was solved by considering the change of the bubble-mass due to phase change as well as generation of new bubbles due to heterogeneous nucleation. In this method, the bubble-mass is treated as an independent variable, and the other dependent variables are solved in spatial coordinates and bubble-mass coordinate. Firstly, we employed this method to calculate bubble nucleation and growth in stationary super-heated liquid nitrogen, and bubble collapse in stationary sub-cooled one. In the case of bubble growth in super-heated liquid, bubble number-density of the smallest class based on its mass is increased due to the nucleation. These new bubbles grow with time, and the bubbles shift to larger class. Therefore void fraction of each class is increased due to the growth in the whole class. On the other hand, in the case of bubble collapse in sub-cooled liquid, the existing bubbles are contracted, and then they shift to smaller class. It finally becomes extinct at the smallest one. Secondly, the present method is applied to a cavitating flow around NACA00l5 foil. Liquid nitrogen and liquid oxygen are employed as working fluids. Cavitation number, $\sigma$, is fixed at 0.15, inlet velocities are changed at 5, 10, 20 and 50m/s. Inlet temperatures are 90K in case of liquid nitrogen, and 90K and 1l0K in case of liquid oxygen. 110K of oxygen is corresponding to the 90K of nitrogen because of the same relative temperature to the critical one, $T_{r}$=$T/T_c^{+}$. Cavitating flow around the NACA0015 foils was properly analyzed by using bubble size distribution. Finally, the method is applied to a cavitating flow in an inducer of the LE-7A hydrogen turbo-pump. This inducer has 3 spiral foils. However, for simplicity, 2D calculation was carried out in an unrolled channel at 0.9R cross-section. The channel moves against the fluid at a peripheral velocity corresponding to the inducer revolutions. Total inlet pressure, $Pt_{in}$, is set at l00KPa, because cavitation is not generated at a design point, $Pt_{in}$=260KPa. The bubbles occur upstream of the foils and collapse between them. Cavitating flow in the inducer was successfully predicted by using the bubble size distribution.

  • In this study, experiments of downward-facing flow boiling were conducted to investigate material effects on CHF. Experiments were conducted using aluminum, copper, and carbon steel. It was found that different materials had different CHFs. Aluminum has the biggest CHF while copper has the lowest CHF for each mass flux. After experiment, surface wettability increased and surface became rougher, which was probably due to the oxidation process during nucleate boiling. The CHF difference is likely to be related to the surface wettability, roughness and thermal effusivity, which influences the bubble behavior and in turn affects CHF. Further studies are needed to determine which factor is dominant.

  • Experimental data of phase equilibrium is reported for caprolactone acrylate in supercritical carbon dioxide. Bubble-point data was measured by synthetic method at temperatures ranging from (313.2 to 393.2) K and pressures up to 55.93 MPa. In this research, the solubility of carbon dioxide for the (carbon dioxide + caprolactone acrylate) system decreases as temperature increases at a constant pressure. The (carbon dioxide + caprolactone acrylate) system exhibits type-I phase behavior. The experimental result for the (carbon dioxide + caprolactone acrylate) system was correlated with Peng-Robinson equation of state using mixing rule. The critical property of caprolactone acrylate was predicted with the Joback and Lyderson method.

  • 기포크기는 컬럼부선에서 기포체류시간, 기포표면적플럭스(Sb) 및 운송율(Cr)에 영향을 미치는 중요 변수로 인식되고 있다. 본 논문은 부선컬럼에서 기포크기의 측정방법, 가동변수들의 관계 그리고 가스분산특성을 논한다. 기포크기는 고속카메라와 이미지 분석 시스템을 이용하여 가동변수들(가스속도, 세척수속도, 기포제농도)의 조건에 따라 부선컬럼에서 직접적으로 측정되었다. 각 측정과 산정된 기포크기 값들을 비교한 관계식이 ±15~20의 오차범위 내에서 도출되었고 평균 기포크기(Sauter mean diameter)는 0.718mm로 확인되었다. 본 시스템으로부터 기포크기 및 분포를 조절할 수 있는 경험식이 가동조건들(Jg: 0.65~1.3cm/s, JW: 0.13~0.52cm/s, frother concentration: 60~200ppm) 하에서 개발되었다. 기포제농도의 증가는 표면장면과 기포크기를 감소시킨다. 임계병합농도는 표면장력이 가장 낮은 49.24mN/m일 때인 기포제농도 200ppm이라고 판단된다. 공기속도의 감소, 기포제농도 및 세척수속도의 증가에 따라 기포크기가 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 가스홀드업은 가스속도와 비례관계에 있으며 고정된 가스속도 조건에서 기포제농도 및 세척수속도와 비례관계였다.

  • Poly(ethylene-co-13.8 mol% octene) ($PEO_{13.8}$), Poly(ethylene-co-15.3 mol% octene) ($PEO_{15.3}$)과 분자크기와 분자구조가 각각 다른 탄화수소의 2성분계 혼합물에 대한 cloud-point, bubble-point 압력을 $150^{\circ}C$, 450 bar까지 측정하였다. (PEO+n-프로판), (PEO+n-부탄) 2성분계 혼합물에서 cloud-point 곡선이 측정되었고, (PEO+n-펜탄) 혼합물에서는 cloud-point와 bubble-point 곡선이 모두 측정되었다. (PEO+시클로펜탄), (PEO+시클로헥산), (PEO+시클로 헵탄), (PEO+시클로옥탄) 2성분계 혼합물에서는 bubble-point 곡선이 측정되었다. (PEO+탄화수소) 2성분계의 압력-조성 등온곡선과 온도-조성 등압곡선은 PEO의 농도가 약 5 wt%일 때 각각 최고점과 최저점을 가졌다. (PEO+탄화수소) 2성분계는 PEO 농도가 5 wt%에서 임계조성을 가진다. PEO는 n-알칸과 시클로알칸 용매에서 LCST 유형의 상거동을 보여주며, 탄화수소의 분자크기가 증가할수록 PEO의 녹는 압력은 감소하였고 용해도는 증가하였다.

  • In general, the bubbling, generated during the fabrication of the tapes, breaks the superconducting filament, and critical current of the tapes will be decreased. Heat-treatment schemes of Bi-2223/Ag HTS tapes were modified, such as pre-annealing of multi-stacked billet, 2-step main sintering and ramp rate etc. The generation of bubbling was drastically decreased from 20 bubbles/m to 0 ~ 1 bubble/m by the modified heat-treatment. Therefore, the value of critical current of the tapes without bubbling was increased almost twice higher than that of already existing tapes. Critical current up to 42 A in 40 m length Bi-22231Ag tapes have been measured at 77K, self-field, 1$mutextrm{V}$/cm criterion. It could be confirmed that elimination of bubbling is effective to maintain the superconducting property along the tape length.

  • A sequence of visually experimental observations was conducted to investigate the flow boiling and two-phase flow in a coiled tube. Different boiling modes and bubble dynamical evolutions were identified for better recognizing the phenomena and understanding the two-phase flow evolution and heat transfer mechanisms. The dissolved gases and remained vapor would serve as foreign nucleation sites, and together with the effect of buoyancy, centrifugal force and liquid flow, these also induce very different flow boiling nucleation, boiling modes, bubble dynamical behavior, and further the boiling heat transfer performance. Bubbly flow, plug flow, slug flow, stratified/wavy flow and annular flow were observed during the boiling process in the coiled tube. Particularly the effects of flow reconstructing and thermal non-equilibrium release in the bends were noted and discussed with the physical understanding. Coupled with the effects of the buoyancy, centrifugal force and inertia or momentum ratio of the two fluids, the flow reconstructing and thermal non-equilibrium release effects have critical importance for flow pattern in the bends and flow evolution in next straight sections.

  • Recoverability and vulnerability of navy ships under underwater explosion are critical verification factors in the acquisition phase of navy ships. This paper aims to establish numerical analysis techniques for the underwater explosion of navy ships. Doubly Asymptotic Approach (DAA) Equation of Motion (EOM) of primary shock wave and secondary bubble pulse proposed by Geers-Hunter was introduced. Assuming a non-compressive fluid, reference solution of the DAA EOM of Geers-Hunter using Runge-Kutta method was derived for the secondary bubble pulse phase with an assumed charge conditions. Convergence analyses to determine fluid element size were performed, suggesting that the minimum fluid element size for underwater explosion analysis was 0.1 m. The spherical and cylindrical fluid domains were found to be appropriate for the underwater explosion analyses from the fluid domain shape study. Because the element size of 0.1 m was too small to be applied to the actual navy ships, a very slender beam with the square solid section was selected for the study of fluid domain existence effect. The two underwater explosion models with/without fluid domain provided very similar results in terms of the displacement and stress processes.

  • The absorber in which heat and mass transfer phenomena occur simultaneously is one of the most critical components in the absorption system. It has the most significant influence on the performance and the size of the absorption system. During the absorption process, heat and mass transfer resistances exist in both liquid and vapor regions, so that the heat transfer mode should be carefully selected to reduce them. The objective of this paper is to review the previous papers analysing mathematical models of simultaneous heat and mass transfer phenomena during the absorption process. The most conventional working fluids ($H_2O$LiBr and $NH_3/H_2O$) are considered and the most common absorption modes (falling film and bubble mode) are dealt with in this review.
