This research was conducted for an acquisition of the ramjet engine test facility design technique which are concerned about freejet type test facility. In this research, we concentrated on the design technique and the construction technique of the vitiation air heater(VAH), test section, diffuser and ejector. Based on the operating modes of the basic test facility, ten operating modes in coordinates "Altitude-Mach number" was regenerated from Mach 2, Altitude 0km to Mach 5, Altitude 15km. In this operating modes, we calculated a design parameter of the supersonic nozzle, VAH, diffuser and ejector and acquired a technique for the ramjet test facility operating and repairing.

The objective of this is to experimentally investigate the effect of mixed jet on the oxygen transfer characteristics with the primary nozzle area ratio of an annular nozzle ejector for the application of a microbial fuel cell. A direct visualization method with a high speed camera system was used to capture the horizontal mixed jet images, and a binarization technique was used to analyze the images. The clean water unsteady state technique was used for the oxygen transfer measurement. The air-water mixed jet discharging into a water tank behaved similar to a buoyancy or horizontal jet with the primary nozzle area ratio. It was found that an optimum primary nozzle area ratio was observed where the oxygen transfer performance reached its maximum value due to the decrease of air volume fraction and the increase of jet length and air bubble dispersion.

To analyze bubbles generated by an ABB (Air Bubble Barrier), we developed image processing procedure and statistical analysis method. Air was discharged from 5 mm nozzle as swarm form at the bottom of 1 m3 water tank. Flow rates of discharged air are ranged from 2 L/min to 20 L/min and these are corresponding to Reynolds number of 1766-17663. Rise velocity of bubble is extracted by using image process pretending intrusive method. Mean equivalent velocity was calculated using void fraction weighting factor. Bubble diameter is obtained and compared with correlations in the literature. Also, we present a correlation according to the result of this study. Mean velocity and mean diameter of bubbles increase with increasing gas Reynolds number. But these parameters show an asymptotic trend when they approach to high Reynolds number.
