The sludge flotation/thickening apparatus equipped a micro-bubble generating pump was used to investigate micro-bubble generating properties on operational parameters. We evaluated micro-bubble generating properties as results to be operated the apparatus by operational parameters which are pump discharge pressure, air/water ratio(A/W ratio), air flow rate, and water flow rate. Micro-bubble generating efficiencies in pumps without recycling flow and with 50% of recycling flow was found to be very efficient on optimum A/W ratio from 1.06 to 3.62% and optimum A/W ratio from 1.05 to 4.06%, respectively. In condition of 3.6% of A/W ratio, we showed that the apparatus could be generated 36,000 ppm of micro-bubble concentration to be optimum treatment efficiency in sludge thickening process.

Recently, as the semiconductor production technology develops, there has been growing interest in the cooling system using micro fluid pump. Among the various types of micro fluid pump, the valve-less diffuser/nozzle has been extensively studied in recent years. However, the flat-walled diffuser/nozzle flow has not been clearly looked into due to its non-linear characteristics. In this paper, the flow characteristics of the flat-walled diffuser/nozzle have been analyzed using similitude model and simulations. Similitude models are designed so that the flow pattern is same as that of 1/10 scale flow by using high viscous fluid as working fluid. The results are compared to the simulations. It is shown that the flow characteristics of 2D simulation are different from 3D simulations at high Re region, and the measured pump efficiency is highly dependent on the pressure difference as well as the channel geometry. From these results, the desirable conditions for the efficient pump is discussed.

The effect of inlet and outlet blade angles on a micro regenerative pump head was examined in experiments. The pump head was little increased by changing the blade angles compared with the original pump with the inlet and outlet blade angles of 0 degree. The effect of the axial clearance between the impeller and the casing on the pump head was also examined. The head was increased largely by decreasing the axial clearance. The computation of the internal flow was performed to clarify the cause of the increase of the pump head due to the decrease of the clearance. The local flow rate in the casing decreased as the leakage flow rate through the axial clearance decreased due to the decrease of the clearance. It was found that the larger head in the smaller clearance was just caused by the smaller local flow rate in the casing. In the case of the smaller clearance, the smaller local flow rate caused the smaller circumferential velocity near the front and rear sides of the impeller. This caused the increase of the angular momentum in the casing and the head.

The electronic dispenser is composed of electronic part and mechanical part. Electronic part is consisted of input keypad, micro-controller, display module, and pump module. In this paper we designed micro-controller for electronic part. The micro-controller controls display module and pump module. The display module is composed by LCD device, and the pump module is composed by motor device. The micro-controller for an electronic dispenser is designed by VHDL. We used WX12864APl for the LCD device and SPS20 for the stepping motor. Also, the micro-controller is designed by Altera Quartus tool and verified with Agent 2000 Design-kit using APEX20K Device. In this paper, we present possibility to adopt of biotechnology field through designing of one-chip controller for an electronic dispenser.

Although DAF(Dissolved Air Flotation) has been successfully accepted for water and wastewater treatment, the fundamental characteristics of the process have not been fully investigated. Water is saturated with compressed air to dissolve the air into the water at high pressure in saturation tank. Then the water containing dissolved air is released into a floatation tank at a lower pressure, generating micro-bubbles that rise gently through the water and carry the suspended matter to the surface. This study investigated the removal of sewage using automatic mixture type DAF pump and non-powered flotation tank. Characteristics of two devices were compared and analyzed with samples. The results showed that the PAC exhibited higher performance than other coagulants. When air dosage was 2.5ml/l/min, treatment was stable in operation. In the DAF pump with a pressure of 4 atm., the average size of bubbles was 36.2${\mu}m$. Removal efficiency of SS was 80%. At this time removal efficiency of COD was about 80%, of T-N was 30% and T-P was 70% in stable operation. It was concluded that DAF pump system with micro bubble performed higher efficiencies compared to general DAF system for treating wastewater.

IPMC(Ionic Polymer-Metal Composite) is a highly sensitive actuator that shows a large deformation in presence of low applied voltage. Generally, IPMC can be fabricated by electroless plating of platinum on both sides of a Nafion (perfluorosulfonic acid) film. When a commercial Nafion film is used as a base structure of the IPMC membrane, the micro-pump structure and the IPMC membrane are fabricated separately and then later assembled, which makes the fabrication inefficient. Therefore, fabrication of an IPMC membrane and the micro-pump structure on a single wafer without the need of assembly have been developed. The silicon wafer was partially etched to hold liquid Nafion to be casted and a 60-${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ thick IPMC membrane was realized. IPMC membranes with various size were fabricated by casting and they showed 4-2${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ displacements from $4mm{\times}4mm$ , $6mm{\times}6mm$, $8mm{\times}8mm$ membranes at the applied voltage ranging from 2Vp-p to 5Vp-p at 0.5Hz. The displacement of the fabricated IPMC membranes is fairly proportional to the membrane area and the applied voltage.

The ionic air pump can be used towards the thermal management of micro-electronic devices, since the size of pump can be reduced to micrometer orders. In addition, an air pump allows air flow control and generation with low noise and no moving parts. These ideal characteristics of the pump give rise to variety applications. However, all of these applications would benefit from maximizing the flow velocities of the pumps. In this study a surface discharge type air pump, with a third electrode, has been investigated by focusing on elevating the wind velocity and efficiency. As a result, the enhanced ionic wind velocity could be obtained with the third electrode of the proposed air pump.

This paper presents the characteristics of micro induction EHD(Electro Hydro Dynamic) pump in which the fluid has a temperature gradient to the transverse direction of a traveling wave. The effects of the channel depth, the wave length and wave form of the treveling wave has been investigated in micro pump. The effect of temperature gradient also has been investigated. The fluid velocity becomes large as the wave length becomes small and the temperature gradient becomes high. The channel depth has little influence on the fluid velocity. The EHD pump driven by the square wave has the larger fluid velocity than that driven by the sinusoidal wave.
