Few investigations of bread dough compressibility have been reported in the literature, despite the fact that high compression stresses are often reached in processing. Here we report some experiments on the compressibility of an Australian wheat bread dough under compressive stresses up to 5 MPa, and show that the results are consistent with a mathematical model of bread dough containing entrained air. The implications for tensile testing are also considered.

It have been announced that concrete subjected to freezing and thawing cause deterioration by expanded inside water and contracted at thawing. However, this study descrebe the deterioration mechanism of concrete by freezing and thawing test. Embeded strain gauges were used to measure the inside restrict strain due to the temperature differenct inside and outside the concrete test specimens. Test results showed that using the air entrained admixture and expanded poly-styrene was developed durability of concrete by decreasing inside retrict strain ratio.

In a screw-type centrifugal pump, the pump head deteriorates from single-phase flow to the choke due to an increased air entrainment at a wide tip clearance compared to that of a narrow tip clearance. Moreover, at a narrow tip clearance, the pump head became partially higher in a two-phase flow than that of a single-phase flow near the best efficiency point in low void fraction region. Therefore, we observed the internal flow pattern by using a stroboscope and we measured the mean size of bubbles from the images obtained with a high speed camera. Then, we investigated the influences of the mean size of bubbles, tip clearances and flow patterns on pump performance.

The influence of aerated oil on a high-speed journal bearing is examined by classical thermohydrodynamic lubrication theory coupled with analytical models for viscosity and density of air-oil mixture in fluid-film bearing. Convection to the walls and mixing with supply oil and re-circulating oil are considered. With changing eccentricity ratio, it is investigated the effects of air bubbles on the performance of a high-speed plain journal bearing. Just at the moderate eccentricity ratios, even if the involved aeration levels are not so severe and the entrained air bubble sizes are not so small, it is found that the bearing load and friction force may be changed so visibly for the high speed bearing operation.

We experimentally investigate a rising toroidal bubble impacting a free surface. The toroidal bubble is created by releasing pulsed air. By adjusting the volume and circulation of the toroidal bubble, the characteristics of interactions between the toroidal bubble and the free surface are identified. Because of the impact by the toroidal bubble, the free surface is convexly deformed upwards above the center point of the toroidal bubble, while the edge of the deformed free surface is pulled down. When the circulation of the bubble becomes stronger, the surface which was pulled down breaks eventually, and air above the free surface is entrained into water, forming an unstable toroidal bubble. The deformations at the center and edge of the free surface are in a linear relationship with the Froude number and the Weber number, respectively.

해양콘크리트의 대표적인 내구성 열화요인이라 할 수 있는 동결융해나 염해의 경우는 콘크리트내의 공극특성에 따라 침투 및 확산특성이 크게 상이하게 되는데, 이는 동결융해저항성 확보를 목적으로 사용되고 있는 AE제의 종류나 사용량 그리고 그의 경시변화 특성 등과 매우 밀접한 관계가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 굳지않은 콘크리트의 목표 공기량을 각각 4~6%와 8~10%로 계획하여 실내시험을 실시한 후, 모의부재에서는 4~6%를 대상으로 평가하였다. 실험결과, 경화콘크리트의 공기량은 재령 7일에서 각각 2.5~5.2%, 재령 28일에서는 각각 2.4~5.1%정도로서 비빔직후 목표공기량의 절반수준인 것으로 나타났고, 동결융해 반복에 따른 스케일량은 목표공기량 8~10%의 경우가 4~6%에 비해 미미한 수준에서 다소 유리한 것으로 평가되었다. 한편, 모의부재에서 채취한 코어공시체의 동결융해 및 염화물 확산특성에서는 동일배합조건의 실내시험 결과에 비해 다소 불리한 것으로 나타났는데, 실내실험 결과에 비해 동결융해는 106%, 염화물 확산계수는 160% 수준인 것으로 나타났다.

In a modern high speed drawing process of optical fibers, it is necessary to use helium as a cooling gas in a glass fiber cooling unit in order to sufficiently cool down the fast moving glass fiber freshly drawn from the heated silica preform in the furnace. Since the air is entrained unavoidably when the glass fiber passes through the cooling unit, the helium is needed to be injected constantly into the cooling unit. The present numerical study investigates and analyzes the air entrainment using an axisymmetric geometry of glass fiber cooling unit. The effects of helium injection rate and direction on the air entrainment rate are discussed in terms of helium purity of cooling gas inside the cooling unit. For a given rate of helium injection, it is found that there exists a certain drawing speed that results in sudden increase in the air entrainment rate, which leads to the decreasing helium purity and therefore the cooling performance of the glass fiber cooling unit. Also, the helium injection in aiding direction is found to be more advantageous than the injection in opposing direction.

In an open-pool type research reactor with a downward forced flow in the core, pipes can be under sub-atmospheric pressure because of the large pressure drop at the reactor core in the atmospheric pool. Sub-atmospheric pressure can result in air inflow into the pipe from the pressure difference between the atmosphere and the inside of the pipe, which in a postulated pipe break scenario can lead to the breakdown of the cooling pump. In this study, a plant-scale experiment was conducted to study air inflow in large piping systems by considering the actual operational conditions of an advanced research reactor. The air inflow rate was measured, and the entrained air was visualized to investigate the behavior of air inflow and flow regime depending on the pipe break size. In addition, the developed drift-flux model for a large vertical pipe with a diameter of 600 mm was compared with other correlations. The flow regime transition in a large vertical pipe under downward flow was also studied using the newly developed drift-flux model. Consequently, the characteristics of two-phase flow in a large vertical pipe were found to differ from those in small vertical pipes where liquid recirculation was not dominant.

부도체로 알려져 있는 기존의 콘크리트에 전기 전도성 재료를 혼입하여 발열 콘크리트로서 개발하려는 연구가 90년대 이후 진행되어 왔다. 하지만 콘크리트 시험체의 발열 재현성 확보가 어려워 활발한 연구가 이루어지지 못했다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 융설용 재료로써 활용 가능한 발열 콘크리트 개발을 목적으로, 흑연, 금속분말, 혼화제를 혼입한 시멘트 페이스트 및 모르타르를 제작하여 $-2^{\circ}C$의 저온환경에서의 발열특성과 재현성을 평가하였다. 또한 미세화학분석을 통해 발현 재현성의 원인을 규명하고자 하였다. 실험 결과, 흑연과 고성능 AE감수제를 혼입한 시험체가 가장 우수한 발열 성능 및 재현 가능성을 보였다. 이에 따른 미세화학분석 결과, 고성능 AE 감수제 내의 폴리머 혹은 메타크릴산 성분이 흑연과 전기화학적 반응을 일으켜 발열 재현성능을 부여한 것으로 판단된다.

A screw-type centrifugal pump was manufactured to carry primarily solids and its impeller had a wide flow passage. However, there was an effect on the flow passage shape on delay of the choke due to entrained air not being clarified yet. Moreover, because its impeller has a particular shape, only few studies have tried to clarify the pump performance and details of internal flow pattern of that pump. For this reason, we carried out the pump performance experiment under air-water two-phase flow condition with different impeller tip clearances, pump rotational speeds and void fractions by using a small screw-type centrifugal pump designed to acquire basic data. In a general centrifugal pump, it was reported that there was a loss of pump head from single-phase flow to the choke due to air entrainment near the best efficiency point being large. However, the loss near the best efficient point in a screw-type centrifugal pump became less than that in a general centrifugal pump.
