The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of driving atomizing nozzle position, the slope of sludge entering tube and supplying air flow rate on the performance of sludge air dryer. This paper deals with optimization of the geometry of the atomizing nozzle for sludge drying using computational fluid dynamics and drying performance test using pilot air dryer. The air drying system was composed of the atomizing nozzle which made high-speed fluid field. dewatered cake was crushed at the high-speed zone as the first step and formed intto dried powder of sphere shape by the collision between particles at the circling zone. The CFD analysis results show when the slope of entering sludge tube is smaller, suction air amount is increased. It is shown that the developed atomizing nozzle is very excellent in the drying performance through pilot test.

The effects of inlet air temperature and atomizing pressure on the coating efficiency were evaluated using peanuts. Broken peanut pieces were coated with dextrin and sodium caseinate solution by a fluidized bed coater. The coating efficiency was significantly influenced by inlet air temperature and atomizing pressure, with the optimal efficiency achieved at $70^{\circ}C$ and 3 bar, respectively. The coating material consisting of dextrin and sodium caseinate could be used for preventing rancidity of broken peanut.

This paper is about a study of atomizing characteristics of a Multi-Nozzle, which is an important part in a flooding water mist system for extinguishing fires broke out in ships. Comparing the results of experiments for the Single-Nozzle to that of numerical analyses, characteristics of a Multi-Nozzle can be found out. In situation of a Single-Nozzle’s, the atomizing angle was $34^{\circ}$. And in situation of Multi-Nozzle that combined with 5 single-nozzles, the atomizing angle increase to $125^{\circ}$. The effective area is 3.7 times of the former. The quality factor will reduce, if the diameter of the atomizing region of the nozzle reduces. Although the atomizing angle is reduced because of the atomizing property, the value of SMD still shows a good result.

Air washer remove dust on the air and use for humidification. But the last should be applied to the semiconductor and FPD industry, air washer has focused on removing pollutants. In addition, air washer within the clean room remove the pollutants as well as use for humidification in Winter. However, there is no research in the country, and for research purposes, the evaluation was conducted by atomizing water temperature variation and L/G variation. Performance evaluation results are the same conditions as the entrance of air washers ($23^{\circ}C$, 45%RH). Cooling effect is enhanced when atomizing water temperature is lower. The larger the performance of humidification to L/G lower the temperature increases.

This study was conducted to investigate the possibility of utilizing various types of nozzles and gas-liquid mixers to increase the dissolution rate of plasma gas containing ozone generated in a dielectric barrier plasma reactor. After selecting the air atomizing nozzle with the highest gas dissolution rate among the 13 types of test equipment, we investigated the influence of the operating factors on the air atomizing nozzle to determine the optimal plasma gas dissolution method. The gas dissolution rate was measured by a simple and indirect method, specifically, the measurement of KLa instead of direct measurement of ozone concentration, which requires a longer analysis time. The results showed that the KLa value of the simple mix of air and water was $0.372min^{-1}$, Which is 1.44 times higher than that ($0.258min^{-1}$) of gas emitted from a normal diffuser. Among the nozzles of the same type, the KLa value was highest for the nozzle having the smallest orifice diameter. Among the 13 types of devices tested, the nozzle with highest KLa value was the M22M nozzle, which is a gas-liquid spray nozzle. The relationship between water circulation flow rate and KLa value in the experimental range was linear. The air supply flow rate and KLa value showed a parabolic-type correlation, while the optimum air supply flow rate for the water circulation flow rate of 1.8 L / min is 1.38 times.

In this study, the experiments were carried out for the purpose of establishment of the arc sparing method which reducing oxides or oxide film by using the inert gas as the carrier gas of atomizing particles. Main results obtained are as follows; 1. Oxides and oxide film which lower the adhesion strength are largely reduced by using the inert gas as the carrier gas of atomizing particles, and adhesion strength of coating film are improved. 2. The coating film characteristics appear to be no difference between the inert gas arc spraying in air environment and that in argon gas environment. 3. Inert gas arc spraying using argon as the carrie gas has higher reduction rate of composition element in coating film than compressed air spraying does.

The purpose of this study is to get experimental data on the distribution of CWM (Coal- Water Mixture) droplets size and the presence of pulverized coal particles inside CWM droplets. Atomization of CWM is done by Twin-Fluid Atomizer. The operational parameters are atomizing air pressure, coal particle loading, mean size of pulverized coal particles and sampling positions across spray. Th data analysis is initiated by Impression Sampling Method(Magnesium Oxide Technique) and Photo-technique and counting works are followed. Experimental work induces following research results. The variation of particle loadings in slurry makes no appreciable effects on the mean size of CWM droplets. It is evident that atomizing air pressure has very strong effect on the atomization of slurry. The mean size of atomized fuel droplets is dramatically reduced with the increasing air pressure. The population ratio of droplets without coal particles to total number of droplets is decreased as atomizing air pressure or loading rises and the same trend is obtained as the mean size of coal particles becomes smaller but a certain tendency of coal particle presence inside droplets could not be found from the change of sampling positions.

An experimental study is carried out to investigate the effects of air and water mass flow rates on cooling characteristics of mist impinging jet on a flat plate. Experiments are conducted with air mass flow rates from 0.0 to 3.0 g/s, and water mass flow rates from 5.0 to 20.0 g/s. An air-atomizing nozzle is used for the purpose of controlling air and water mass flow rates. In this study, a new test section is designed to obtain local heat transfer coefficient distributions. Heat transfer characteristics of the mist impinging jet are explained with the aid of flow visualization. Surface temperature and heat transfer coefficient distributions become more uniform as air mass flow rate increases, and that the increases in water flow rate mainly enhance cooling performance. Air mass flow rate weakly influences averaged heat transfer coefficient when water mass flow rate is low, but averaged heat transfer coefficient increases remarkably as air mass flow rate in case of high water mass flow rate.
