The effects of various operating parameters(agitation speed, impeller type, antiform agents, impeller spacing etc.) on air-liquid mass transfer was characterized by volumetric mass transfer coefficient($k_La$). Also, the dual-impeller agitated systems are compared with single-impeller agitated systems with a special focus on its applications for bioreactors, $k_La$ was take over a range of 200~450 rpm of agitation speed, and 0.5~2.5 vvm of air flow rates, for four single impeller and impeller combinations consisting of four impeller types, namely rushton, pitched blade, scaba, intermig were tested. The rushton impeller showed the best $k_La$ as compared with other single impellers. The dual impeller system are found to be superior as compared to single impeller in all aspects, The best combination of the dual impeller was a intermig of axial flow type as an upper impeller and a rushton of radial flow type as a lower part. Also, the control of the DO level with the variation of agitation speed was more efficient than that with an increase in air flow rate. The addition of antiform dropped the $k_La$ very large up to 1g/L regardless the type. PPG was less effect on $k_La$ than other antiforms. The impeller spacing and presence of solute are found very effective on $k_La$. When the $NaNO_3$is presented as solute, the $k_La$ increased approximately 50% then control.

Power consumption for wire gauge impeller in cylindrical agitated vessel was measured over a wide range of Reynolds number from laminar to turbulent flow regions. The power correlation were obtained agitation power input of WM4 at gassing condition in turbulent region, at gassing condition in transient region and at gassing condition in laminar region. Also the compared with effect of impeller diameter and blade width on agitation power input at gassing condition in turbulent region, at gassing condition in transient region and at gassing condition in laminar region.

The agitator is an important industrial instrument widely used for mixing various solutions in the industrial field. In this study, the optimized design of the helical ribbon type impeller, which is mainly used for the stirring of the high viscosity solution, is carried out by CFD analysis. For this purpose, an index for evaluating the agitation performance is newly defined and an optimization design process is performed through a multiphase computational fluid dynamic analysis. From these results, it is understood that the stirring performance is maximized in the case of the helical ribbon impeller under given operating conditions when the width is 7.5 mm, the height is 160 mm and the turn is 1.

HRP(high rate pond) which had kept the manufactured clay of 3cm-thickness as benthic clay in reactor and the 6 flat-blade turbine as impeller for agitation was named HRASP(high rate algae stabilization pond). And the experiment for treatment of artificial synthesis wastewater containing COD :300mg/$\ell$, NH$_3$-N : 300mg/$\ell$, T-P : 9mg/$\ell$ as nutrients was been performed successfully. This reactor was been operated under conditions : 24hrs.-irradiation and water temperature, $25^{\circ}C$ and pH 7 and agitation velocity, 15, 30, 45rpm and the effect of agitation velocity on algal bioaccumulation of nutrients was been studied with view point of fluid dynamics. The next followings could be obtained as results. 1. The agitation with a turbine impeller blade in HRASP makes clay particle indicate superior suspension effect by means of forming of excellent curl/shear flow in reactor. 2. The excessive suspension of clay particle which is created at 45rpm as rotation velocity of impeller blade of turbine disturbs the light penetration and algal photosynthesis reaction. 3. Efficiencies for removal of nutrients come out as COD : 93.9%~94.3%, ($NH_3-N + NO_3-N$) : 81.9%~99.0%, T-P : 46.8%~53.6%. 4. Kuo values of $K_1$for algal growth come out seperately as 15rpm : $1.876{\times}10^{-2}, 30rpm : 4.618{\times}10^{-3}$. 5. Kuo values of $K_2$for removal of N, P come out seperately as 15rpm : $8.403{\times}10^{-1}$ and $1.397{\times}10^{-1}$, 30rpm : $4.823{\times}10^{-1} and 2.052{\times}10^{-1}$. 6. It can be guessed easily that the excessive agitation can inhibit the algal and bacterial symbiotic reaction if it is considered that micro organism\` sense to preservation of life is relied on natural function of metabolism. Therefore the studies for this matter should be followed continuously.

Aspergillus niger No. PFST-38 was grown on complex media in 30L agitated fermentors at various aeration rates and stirrer speeds. We could correlate the mixing time as a function of the Reynolds number and the apparent viscosity, as follows. ${\theta}_M=2.95\;\NRe^{-0.52},\;{\theta}_M=1.88\;{\eta_a}^{0.57}$ Also, the effects of the apparent viscosity (${\theta}_a$), the impeller rotational speed (N), the air flow rate ($V_s$), and the mixing time (${\theta}_M$) on the oxygen transfer coefficient, $K_L a$ were determined experimentally, and equated as follows. $K_La=12.04N^{0.88}Vs^{0.71}{n_a}^{-0.83},\;K_La=30.2N^{0.88}Vs^{0.71}{\theta_M}^{-1.45}$ $K_La$ increased as the agitation speed and the air flow rate increased. The rate of $K_La$ increase was dependent more on the rotational speed of impeller than on the air flow rate. The glucoamylase production increased with the increase of the agitation speed upto at 500 rpm and increased with the increase of air flow rate upto at 1.0 vvm. The values calculated from the above equation confirmed that the experimental maximum production of glucoamylase was achieved when the $K_La$ and the apparent viscosity of the broth were $260\;hr^{-1}$ and 1800 cps, respectively.

The influences of impeller types on morphology and protein expression were investigated in a submerged culture of Aspergillus oryzae. The impeller types strongly affected mycelial morphology and protein production in batch and fed-batch fermentations. Cells that were cultured by propeller agitation grew in the form of a pellet, whereas cells that were cultured by turbine agitation grew in a freely dispersed-hyphal manner and in a clumped form. Pellet-grown cells showed high levels of protein production for both the intracellularly heterologous protein (${\beta}$-glucuronidase) and the extracellularly homologous protein (${\alpha}$-amylase). The feeding mode of the carbon source also influenced the morphological distribution and protein expression in fed-batch fermentation of A. oryzae. Pulsed-feeding mainly showed high protein expression and homogeneous distribution of pellet whereas continuous feeding resulted in less protein expression and heterogeneous distribution with pellet and dispersed-hyphae. The pellet growth with propeller agitation paralleling with the pulsed-feeding of carbon source showed a high level of protein production in the submerged fed-batch fermentation of recombinant A. oryzae.

The Mixer is apparatus that help precipitation or an inhomogeneous distribution of various phases to be mixed and that user makes necessary material mixing one or the other. Mainly the mixer which is used from chemical and food industry is very important system in engineering that mixes the material. The inside flow of the mixer under the actual states which put a basis in flow of the fluid is formed rotation of the impeller. The inside flow of impeller will be caused by various reasons change with shape of impeller, number of rotation, mixing material and flow pattern of free surface etc. Also mixer study depended in single-phase flow and experimental research. So the numerical analysis of flow mixing solid-fluid particle is simulated. It is become known, that the case where agitator inside working fluid includes the solid particle the sinkage reverse which the solid particle has decreases an agitation efficiency. From the research which it sees the hazard solid which examines the effect where the change of the sinkage territory which it follows agitation number of revolution and diameter of the particle goes mad to an agitator inside flow distribution - numerical analysis the inside flow distribution of liquid state with Eulerian Two-Phase Method.
