In the present study, the characteristics of upward bubble flow were experimentally investigated in a liquid bath. An electro-conductivity probe was used to measure local volume fraction and bubble frequency. Since the gas is concentrated at the near nozzle, the flow parameters are high near the nozzle. In general their axial and radial values tended to decrease with increasing distance. For visualization of flow characteristics, a Particle Image Velocimetry (P.I..V) and a thermo-vision camera were used in the present study. The experimental results show that heat transfer from bubble surface to water is largely completed within z=10mm from the nozzle, and then the temperature of bubble surface reaches that of water rapidly. Due to the centrifugal force, the flow was more developed near the wall than at bubble-water plume. Vortex flow in the bottom region was relatively weaker than that in the upper region.

This study aims to investigate injection rate and microscopic spray characteristics of diesel fuel containing fine air bubble (FBD). fine bubble was generated by cavitation theory using bubble generator. Fuel spray was injected into constant volume chamber and visualized by high speed camera. The injection rate data was acquired with bosch tube method. Injection rate of finebubble diesel was very similar with that of diesel. It showed slightly faster injection start by 5 ㎲ attributed to the low viscosity characteristics. In microscopic spray visualization, fine bubble diesel spray showed unsymmetric spray shape compared with diesel spray. It also showed very vigorous spray atomization performance during initial spray development. Improved atomization was also attributed to the low viscosity and surface tension of finebubble diesel fuel.

In the present study, a PIV measurement and image processing technique were applied in order to investigate the flow characteristics in the gas injected liquid bath. The circulation of liquid was induced by upward bubble flow. Due to the centrifugal force, the flow was well developed near both wall sides than in the center of a bath. The vortex flow irregularly repeated generation and disappearance which helped to accelerate the mixing process. The bubble rise velocity in the bottom region was relatively lower than in the upper region because the energy generated by bubbles' behavior in the region near the nozzle was almost converted into kinetic energy But bubble rise velocity increases with the increase of the axial distance since kinetic energy of rising bubbles is added to buoyancy force. In conclusion, the flow increased bubble rise velocity and the flow of the bottom region became more active.

In this paper, effects of physical configurations and operating conditions on bubble column performance were analyzed in terms of bubble hydrodynamic and mass transfer parameters. Bubble column with 3 different dimensions and 7 gas diffusers (single / multiple orifice and rigid / flexible orifice) were applied. High speed camera and image analysis program were used for analyzing the bubble hydrodynamic parameters. The local liquid-side mass transfer coefficient ($k_L$) was estimated from the volumetric mass transfer coefficient ($k_La$) and the interfacial area (a), which was deduced from the bubble diameter ($D_B$) and the terminal bubble rising velocity ($U_B$). The result showed that the values of kLa and a increased with the superficial gas velocity (Vg) and the size of bubble column. Influences of gas diffuser physical property (orifice size, thickness and orifice number) can be proven on the generated bubble size and the mass transfer performance in bubble column. Concerning the variation of $k_L$ coefficients with bubble size, 3 zones (Zone A, B and C) can be observed. For Zone A and Zone C, a good agreement between the experimental and the predicted $K_L$ coefficients was obtained (average difference of ${\pm}15%$), whereas the inaccuracy result (of ${\pm}40%$) was found in Zone B. To enhance the high $k_La$ coefficient and absorption efficiency in bubble column, it was unnecessary to generate numerous fine bubbles at high superficial gas velocity since it causes high power consumption with the great decrease of $k_L$ coefficients.

기포크기는 컬럼부선에서 기포체류시간, 기포표면적플럭스(Sb) 및 운송율(Cr)에 영향을 미치는 중요 변수로 인식되고 있다. 본 논문은 부선컬럼에서 기포크기의 측정방법, 가동변수들의 관계 그리고 가스분산특성을 논한다. 기포크기는 고속카메라와 이미지 분석 시스템을 이용하여 가동변수들(가스속도, 세척수속도, 기포제농도)의 조건에 따라 부선컬럼에서 직접적으로 측정되었다. 각 측정과 산정된 기포크기 값들을 비교한 관계식이 ±15~20의 오차범위 내에서 도출되었고 평균 기포크기(Sauter mean diameter)는 0.718mm로 확인되었다. 본 시스템으로부터 기포크기 및 분포를 조절할 수 있는 경험식이 가동조건들(Jg: 0.65~1.3cm/s, JW: 0.13~0.52cm/s, frother concentration: 60~200ppm) 하에서 개발되었다. 기포제농도의 증가는 표면장면과 기포크기를 감소시킨다. 임계병합농도는 표면장력이 가장 낮은 49.24mN/m일 때인 기포제농도 200ppm이라고 판단된다. 공기속도의 감소, 기포제농도 및 세척수속도의 증가에 따라 기포크기가 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 가스홀드업은 가스속도와 비례관계에 있으며 고정된 가스속도 조건에서 기포제농도 및 세척수속도와 비례관계였다.

A visualization study of flow characteristics in a mixer using multi-nozzle bubbling was performed. The mixer is filed with liquid glycerin (dynamic viscosity = $1000mPa{\cdot}s\;at\;25^{\circ}C$) and convective mixing is induced by air bubbles generated from 9 orifices installed on the bottom of the mixer. To visualize the flow field, PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry) system consisting of 532nm Nd:YAG laser, $2k{\times}2k$ CCD camera and synchronizer is adopted. The bubbles generated with uniform size and frequency form bubble stream and bubble streams rise vertically without interaction between bubble streams. Mixing efficiency is affected by the height of bubbler and the effective height of bubbler is 20nm from the bottom of the mixer.

해양 환경에서의 기포는 바람, 파도, 선박 및 해저 가스 누출을 포함한 여러 요인에 의해 생성된다. 수중에서의 기포는 강력한 산란 신호를 생성하여 음향 신호를 측정하는데 영향을 미친다. 이러한 기포의 특성은 음파 신호의 세기를 감쇠시켜 소음 차단 목적으로 주로 이용되고 있으며, 최근에는 해저에서 대규모로 누출되는 메탄가스 탐지를 위한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 이러한 가스 누출은 기포플룸의 형태를 취하며, 기포의 물리적 특성과 분포 구조를 이해하는 것은 누출된 가스를 기후 변화와 연관성을 파악하는데 중요한 요소 중 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 탄성파 영상화 기법을 이용하여 기포플룸의 분포를 추정하고자 수조환경에서 실험을 수행하였으며, 별도로 제작된 인공기포 발생기, 자료 취득 시스템을 이용하여 기포에 의한 음향 신호를 취득하였다. 기포플룸을 영상화하기 위해 지진파 영상기법 중 역시간 구조보정을 이용하였으며, 획득한 음향 신호의 포락선 신호를 이용하여 기포 분포 패턴을 효과적으로 추정하였다. 영상화 결과의 검증을 위해 추정된 기포플룸의 분포와 광학카메라 영상을 비교하였다. 실험결과 탄성파 영상화 기법 통해 인공 기포플룸의 산란신호를 이용한 영상화가 가능함을 확인하였다.

In this study, we conducted analysis of bubble dynamics and flow of liquid phase change material(PCM) using shadowgraphy and particle image velocimetry(PIV). Characteristics of internal flow varied depending on locations of injection when solid PCM was liquefied from heated vertical wall. When bubbles rose immediately, they exhibited elliptical shape and zigzag trajectory. In contrast, when bubbles rose after merging at the bottom of solid PCM, with equivalent diameter for the inter-wall distance of 0.64 or greater, they showed a jellyfish shape and strong rocking behavior. It was observed by the PIV that the small ellipse bubbles made most strong flow inside the liquid PCM. Furthermore, the flow velocity was highest in the case of front injection, as the directions of temperature gradients and bubble-driven flow were aligned. The results underscore the significant influence of injection location on various characteristics, including bubble size, shape, rising path of bubbles, and internal flow.
