Using ultrasonic standing waves, micro particles submerged or flowing in fluid can be manipulated. Due to acoustic radiation force of ultrasound, particles are forced to move to pressure nodal or antinodal lines. In this work, we propose a method to control the position of micro particle in a flow by adjusting the frequency of the standing wave. To this end, standing wave field generation system including a few millimeter thick micro channel was established using an immersible ultrasonic transducer. The present generation system works valid in a frequency range between 2.0 MHz and 2.5 MHz. We observed the SiC particles in water moved to pressure nodal lines by the standing wave. The effect of the channel thickness and operating frequency was also investigated. Interestingly, it was shown that the operating frequency have a close relation with the location of the pressure nodal line. Consequently, it fan be said that the position of particle movement rail be controlled by adjusting the ultrasound frequency. The maximum range of the controllable position was about 261 micrometers under the given condition. The resulted observations reveal the possibility of various applications of the ultrasonic standing wave to the manipulation of particles submerged in a fluid.

수 십 ∼ 수 마이크로 크기의 미세 입자에 강하게 집속된 빔을 산란시키게 되면 입자들은 운동량의 변화에 따라 광의 초점부근에서 포획되는 힘을 받게 된다. 이런 힘은 scattering force와 gradient force로 구분할 수 있고, Optical tweezers는 광의 gradient force를 이용하여 미세입자를 포획하고 조작하는 기술이다. 광에 의해 물리적인 접촉 없이 입자를 포획할 수 있다는 사실로부터 optical tweezers는 생물학을 비롯한 많은 분야에서 유용한 도구로 사용되어지고 있다. (중략)

Many studies on the microstructures in rocks have been conducted using experimental methods with various equipment as well as natural rock studies to see the development of microstructures and understand their mechanisms. Grain boundary migration of mineral aggregates in rocks could cause grain growth or grain size changes during metamorphism or deformation as one of the main recrystallization mechanisms. This study suggests improved ways regarding the analog material experiments with reformed equipment to see sequential observations of these grain boundary migration. It can be more efficient than the existing techniques and carry out an appropriate microstructure analysis. This reformed equipment was implemented to enable optical manipulation by mounting polarizing plates capable of rotating operation on a stereoscopic microscope and a deformation rig capable of experimenting with analog materials. The equipment can automatically control the temperature and strain rate of the deformation rig by microcontrollers and programming and can take digital photomicrographs with constant time intervals during the experiment to observe any microstructure changes. The composite images synthesized using images by rotated polarizing plates enable us to see more accurate grain boundaries. As a rock analog material, norcamphor(C7H10O) was used, which has similar birefringence to quartz. Static grain growth and simple shear deformation experiments were performed using the norcamphor to verify the effectiveness of the equipment. The static grain growth experiments showed the characteristics of typical grain growth behavior. The number of grains decreases and the average grain size increases over time. These case experiments also showed a clear difference between the growth curves with three temperature conditions. The result of the simple shear deformation experiment under the medium temperature-low strain rate showed no significant change in the average grain size but presented the increased elongation of grain shapes in the direction of about 53° regarding the direction perpendicular to the shearing direction as the shear strain increases over time. These microstructures are interpreted as both the plastic deformation and the internal recovery process in grains are balanced by the deformation under the given experimental conditions. These experiments using the reformed equipment represent the ability to sequentially observe changing the microstructure during experiments as desired in the tests with the analog material during the entire process.

원심력을 이용한 대표적인 대기오염 방지 장치인 싸이클론은 1800년대 후반이래 공기나 배출가스로부터의 분진제거 및 입자분리에 폭 넓게 사용되어 왔다. 일반적으로 싸이클론은 간단한 구조로 되어 있으며, 조작이 용이하고 운전비용이 저렴할 뿐만 아니라 가혹조건에서의 사용이 가능하다는 장점이 있다 (Shepherd and Lapple, 1939). 입자의 관성력에 의해 분진을 분리하는 싸이클론으로서는 상대적으로 낮은 관성효과를 지니는 미세입자(주로 10$\mu\textrm{m}$ 이하)들에 대한 제어효율이 낮을 수 밖에 없다(Dirge and Leith, 1985).

여과포 표면상에 도달하는 입자의 농토를 낮추거나 균일하게 유지시킬 경우, 부착된 입자층 두께의 성장으로 인한 압력손실의 증가율을 줄일 수 있고 이로 인하여 탈진 주기 또한 감소시킬 수 있다. 탈진조작의 저감으로 인하여 여과포의 수명 증대로 여과포의 교체 시기를 연장시킬 수 있으므로 여과포 집진장치의 운전 및 유지 보수비의 저감을 이룰 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 집진용기의 중간부분에 위치한 접선 유입관을 통하여 오염입자를 함유한 기체유동을 유입시킨 후, 원심력과 난류확산에 의하여 집진용기 내벽과 내통(inner tube) 벽면에 부착된 입자는 중력에 의하여 용기 바닥으로 모인 후 바닥면에 설치된 스크래퍼(scraper)를 통하여 분리 처리될 수 있는 새로운 형상의 집진장치를 개발하고자 하였다.

Ion exchange resin particles should not be found in steam generator(S/G) sludge. The suspicious spherical resin particles observed in S/G sludge sample were characterized for particle size distribution under optical microscope using the micro-technique, for element analysis by the electron probe micro analysis (EPMA), and for molecular identification by the IR spectroscopy. The particle sizes are distributed from 1 to $200{\mu}m$ for the sludge, while 40 to $500{\mu}m$ for the spherical resin particles. The results of the elemental analysis showed different major impurities: Si, Al, Mn, Cr, Ni, Zn and Ti for the sludge particles, while Si, Cu, Zn for the spherical resin particles. However, both particles contain Fe as a matrix of magnetite $(Fe_3O_4)$. IR spectrum of the spherical particles was not quite similar to the IR spectrum of ion exchange resins used in S/G system. These results indicate that the spherical particles are not related to ion exchange resin particles and may be formed by the process of the sludge formation.
