In many technical fields including electronics and display manufacturing processes, properties of coating liquids could be greatly enhanced by adding nanopowders and it requires efficient mixing techniques to achieve uniform dispersion of nanoparticles in liquids. This paper presents the three-dimensional CFD simulations on the flowfields of a highly viscous liquid in the large scale industrial mixer of impeller type. The effects of several important design and operation parameters such as impeller geometry, rotational speed, and degree of liquid viscosity are investigated to appreciate the mixing performance by examining the computational results for flow pattern of rotationally stirred liquid of high viscosity in the mixer.

Quantum RF impedance of SIS (superconductor insulator superconductor) junction has been analyzed by using through on tucker's quantum mixer theory in the frequency range form 80 GHz to 120 GHz. The embedding impedance of waveguide-type mixer mount and its equivalent circuit have been evaluated. From these evaluated results, the impedance matching efficiency between mixer mount embedding impedance and mixer port impedance of upper-side band and IF which were determined by augmented admittance matrix with given backshort position has been discussed in detail. It is found that the mixer with fixed backshort mount ahs a impedance matching efficiency about 80% at each port of mixer within 85GHz to 115GHz, which implys a conversion los of mixer would be good enough to be operated such a wide band frequency range. Therefore, the theoretical evaluated results show that our method can be used ot design the mixer mount without any mechanical tuning elements such a backshort or an E-plane tunners for wide band operation.

One of the most widely used static mixers is Sulzer type mixer. However the structure of the element is so complicated that the mixing efficiency is better than others, whereas the pressure drop is larger than the others. Therefore new elements are necessary to reduce the pressure drop and to minimize the decrease of the mixing efficiency compared with the Sulzer ones. The objectives of this study are to develop new static mixer and to perform the experimental investigation in order to evaluate the performance of the new one, and to investigate the applicability of the one in an inline coagulant mixing system for water treatment, The pressure drops of the new static mixer elements were about 4-12% lower than that of the Sulzer SMX one, and the mixing efficiency of the Sulzer SMX one was about 2-5% higher than that of the new ones. The inline coagulant mixing system with a new static mixer element performed significantly better than the traditional mechanical mixing system for turbidity removal.

In this research, a numerical study was carried out on the mixing and flow characteristics of a vane-type static mixer for the reduction of $NO_x$ in the SCR systems from the diesel exhaust environments. The mixer was located at a distance of 57 times the pipe diameter away from the inlet. The analyses were performed by changing various parameters such as vane angles, blockage ratio, and location of the vane. Flow characteristics through the mixer were characterized by the uniformity index, swirl number, and pressure drop. The results show that uniformity index, pressure coefficient and swirl number are substantially influenced by the vane angle, blockage ratio and position of the vane of the mixer. In particular, the swirl number was increased when the vane was located near the pipe wall, or the vane angle was increased or scale was extended.

We investigated the effects of processing geometry of silica-filled isobutylene-isoprene rubber (IIR) compounds on its mechanical properties and silica dispersion, using a two roll mill and an internal mixer (banbury mixer). The compound processed with the two roll mill showed the longer induction time ($t_2$), higher maximum torque ($T_{max}$), and better silica dispersion than the compound processed with the internal mixer; however, showed slightly the lower cure index ($t_{90}$). The mechanical properties (hardness, 300% modulus, tensile strength, elongation) of the compound processed with two roll mill were higher than compound done with the internal mixer.

In this study, performance and emissions characteristics of an liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) engine converted from a diesel engine were examined by using mixer system and liquid propane injection (LPi) system fuel supply methods. A compression ratio for the base diesel engine, 21, was modified into 8, 8.5, 9 and 9.5. The cylinder head and the piston crown were modified to roe the LPG in the engine. Ignition timing was controlled to be at minimum spark advance for best torque (MBT) each case. Engine performance and emissions characteristics are analyzed by investigating engine power, brake mean effective pressure (BMEP), brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC), volumetric efficiency, CO, THC and NOx. Experimental results showed that the LPi system generates higher power and lower emissions than the conventional mixer fuel supply method.

A Light Emitting Diode(LED) is a semiconductor device which converts electricity into light. LEDs are widely used in a field of illumination, LCD(Liquid Crystal Display) backlight, mobile signals because they have several merits, such as low power consumption, long lifetime, high brightness, fast response, environment friendly. In general, LEDs production does die bonding and wire bonding on board, and do silicon and phosphor dispensing to protect LED chip and improve brightness. Then lens molding process is performed using mixed liquid silicon rubber(LSR) by resin and hardener. A mixture of resin and hardener affect the optical characteristics of the LED lens. In this paper, computational design of static mixer was performed for mixing of liquid silicon. To evaluate characteristic of mixing efficiency, finite element model of static mixer was generated, and fluidic analysis was performed according to length of mixing element. Finally, optimal condition of length of mixing element was applied to static mixer from result of fluidic analysis.

Ready-mixed concrete is unconsolidated concrete typically transported to construction sites by using mixer trucks. A proper rotation of concrete is necessary to prevent its solidification in mixer trucks during transport: in accordance with the manufacturing method and quality inspection prescribed in KSF4009, this movement is maintained after the manufacturing of concrete in professional production plants and the addition of water, solid materials, and admixtures. Unfortunately, mixer truck parts wear out over long periods of time. In order to improve the wear resistance of the main part of mixer trucks, we used a steel plate with good wear resistance or partially added a reinforcement plate. In this study, we first tested the properties of concrete (as required for the DEM), and then carried out mixing and discharge simulations to define the actual operating conditions of mixer trucks. For each condition, we calculated the amount and location of wear. The reliability of our results was finally verified by comparing them with the measurement values. Overall, this study provided basic data for an optimal design of mixer trucks: one that would reduce the vehicles' weight and production costs.

Technologies for preventing contaminants deposition are a key issue in a modern duct system. When particulate matters deposit inside the exhaust pipes, which are widely used in the Urea-SCR system to reduce $NO_x$ emission from heavy duty diesel engines, many problems arise associated with increased flow resistance and corrosion. Therefore, the development of the urea deposition avoidance technologies is being treated as an important issue of the Urea-SCR system. An analytical study was carried out to investigate the effects of the wall flow around the mixer with the variation of the mixer housing surrounding and supporting the mixer, which is designed to increase the wall flow and then to reduce droplet deposition. The housing angles and the position of the mixer were changed：angles of $0^{\circ}$, $1^{\circ}$, $2^{\circ}$, and $3^{\circ}$, and mixer positions of 0 L, 0.5 L, and 1 L. The axial velocity distributions, maximum velocity, the half-width, and momentum distribution of the wall flow were investigated to examine the effect of the mixer-housing assembly geometry.
