  • The turbulent properties in a mixed statistically stationary flow were investigated experimentally by a pseudo stereoscopic PIV. In order to validate the experimental results, the profiles of the turbulent kinetic energy were evaluated with the flow features. A mechanical agitator having 6 blades was installed at the bottom of the mixing tank (D=60cm, H=60cm). The agitator was rotated with 80rpm clockwise and counter-clockwise. For the measurements, three cameras were used and all were synchronized. The images captured by one of the three cameras was used for the measurement of rotational speed, and the images captured by the other two cameras were used to measure three dimensional components of velocity vectors. All vectors captured at the same rotational angle were phase averaged to construct three-dimensional vector fields to reconstruct the spatial distribution of the flow properties. It was seen that the jet scrolling along the tank was the main source of mixing.

  • A novel conductivity technique was developed to detect penetration depth of the vessel fluid into the feedpipe. For a given reactor geometry, critical agitator speeds were experimentally determined at the onset of feedpipe backmixing using Rushton 6 bladed disk turbine (6BD) and high efficiency axial flow type 3 bladed (HE-3) impellers. The ratio of the feedpipe velocity to the critical agitator speed ($v_f/v_t$) was constant for either laminar or turbulent feedpipe flow regimes. Compared to the results of fast competitive reaction, feedpipe backmixing had to penetrate at least one feedpipe diameter into the feedpipe to significantly influence the yield of the side product. However, higher $v_f/v_t$ than that for L/d = 0 (position at the feedpipe end) of the conductivity technique is recommended to completely eliminate feedpipe backmixing in conservative design criteria. The conductivity technique was successful in all feedpipe flow conditions of laminar, transitional and turbulent flow regimes.

  • The fault monitoring technique is presented for identifying the status of the agitator driving system in thermal reduction reactor. For identifying a fault such as bearing defect or clearance blocking, Wavelet transform (WT) is applied to vibration signals and features are extracted. For classification, the fuzzy ARTMAP is employed. With the features from WT, a single training epoch and a single learning iteration are sufficient for the fuzzy ARTMAP to classify the faults. The test results show the perfect classification though some features extracted from the test data are distorted against those in the training data

  • This paper proposes a method of fault detection and diagnosis of agitators based on the wavelet analysis of the current and vibration signals. The wavelet transform has received considerable interest in the fields of acoustics, communication, image compression, vision. and seismic since it provides the fast and effective means of analyzing signals recorded during operation. Neural network is used to diagnose the fault. Specifically, the proposed approach consists of (i) fault detection, (ii) feature extraction, and (iii) classification of fault types. The results show an effective application of the wavelet analysis on the monitoring of an agitator.

  • A food waste disposer commonly used in restaurants or homes is a type of machine with an agitator attached. The food waste disposer of the crushing type has a problem that the agitator may be broken if the piping or decomposition filter is blocked. In addition, there is an inconvenience that the user must manually open the cover to check the level in the food waste disposer. To solve these problems, this paper proposes a device that combines basic IoT technology with food waste disposer. The proposed device additionally designs and implement a real-time monitor processor and an automatic control processor inside the existing food waste disposer. The proposed food waste disposer allows the user to monitor the inside of the device using the smartphone. In addition, when the food is filled up to a certain position in the food waste disposer, it automatically stops and alarms. Using the proposed system, the user can conveniently check the inside of the food waste disposer, which has the advantage of preventing malfunctions in advance and reducing the probability of malfunction.

  • The zind bate contaminated in the hot dip galvannealed operation was successfully by appling the dross formation mechanism ; the Fe content was lowered from 0.028% to 0.011% and the dress size was decreased from 15~20$\mu\textrm{m}$ to under 3$\mu\textrm{m}$. The cooled metal from CGL zinc bath during operation of the galvannealed steel strip was remelted in graphite crucible at the lab and agitated after increasing Al content from 0.14% to 0.16% with decreasing the molten metal temperature from $470^{\circ}C$to $445^{\circ}C$. The agitating was done by agitator and nitrogen. The molten was analyed by SEM and EDS. It was considered that the Fe and the bottom dross($FeZN_7$) could react with aluminium to from the float dress($Fe_2Al_5$) according to the molten metal temperature down and the float dress rise to the surface of the zine bath. So the Fe and dross in the bath could be romoved out of the bath. It was confirmed that the proper purication conditions of GA zine bath is 0.02% of Al increasing, bath temperature down from $460^{\circ}C$ to $450^{\circ}C$and agitator and nitrogen.

  • 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.

  • The scale up production test for the hydrothermal synthesis of clay mineral from the anorthite, which is distributed in San Chung-District of Korea and called as the ground rock for halloysite-kaolin, has been investigated by using the gaitator type reactor. The automatic control system has been developed and applied for the more effective producibility and the reduction in the defect of this intermittent batch processing property, and finally for the feasibility of this system in actual use. It was observed that this agitator type reactor can reduce the synthesis reaction tme from 5 days to 3 days, only with the condition of 20rpm. The automatic control system could regulate the vessel temperature and pressure precisely at an optimum condition during the treatment. Therefore, from these test results the application-possibility for this system was found to be feasible in actual use.
