A test facility was developed where an inducer for a liquid rocket engine turbopump can be tested using liquid nitrogen as a working fluid. At the facility, a hydrodynamic performance test and a cavitation performance test for an oxidizer turbopump were carried out. Head-flow relation at liquid nitrogen test was similar to the case at water test. However, cavitation performance at the liquid nitrogen was superior to the case at water test, which results from the thermodynamic effect of cavitation.

The transport of Chromium(Vl) ion from waste water throughl the liquid surfactant membrane containing tri-n-octylamine as a carrier, was analyzed by a slab model and was investigated through experiments. For the experiment of membrane stability, concentrations of surfactant and liquid parafnn oil were analyzed. Extraction euperiments were carried out to observe the effect of system variables, such as stirring speed, concentration of carrier, and NaOH in internal aqueous phase, and concentrations of H$_2$SO$_4$and initial chromium(VI) ion in external aqueous phase at $25^{\circ}C$. It is concluded that the most stable formation of liquid membrane emulsion was obtained when surfactant concentration is above 3 wt. ％ and liquid parafnn oil concentration is 50 vol. ％. The transport of chromium(VI) ion in bacth extractor increased with increasing carrier concentration, the volume ratio of emulsion to external aqueous phases, and initial concentration of chromium(VI) ion under the optimum stirring speed of chromium(VI) ion below 2 ppm. The theoretical equation on the transport of chromium(Vl) ion agreed well with the experimental results.

This paper deals with a theoretical method to calculate natural frequencies of a fixed-free rectangular tank partially in contact with an outer water gap. Orthogonal polynomials satisfying the boundary conditions of the tank are used as admissible functions in the Rayleigh-Ritz method. A quarter model of the liquid-coupled system is constructed and it is simplified to a line supported flat plate in contact with the liquid. The liquid displacement potential functions satisfying the Laplace equation and water boundary conditions are derived, and the finite Fourier transform is accomplished in conjunction with the compatibility requirement along the contacting interfaces between the tank and water. An eigenvalue problem is derived so that the natural frequencies of the wet rectangular tank can be extracted. The predictions from the proposed analytical method show good agreement with the finite element analysis results.

An analytical method for the free vibration of a flexible rectangular plate in contact with water is developed by the Rayleigh-Ritz method. The plate clamped along the edges is partially contacted with water at both sides. It is assumed that the contained water is incompressible and inviscid. The wet mode shape of the plate is assumed as a combination of the dry mode shapes of a clamped beam. The liquid motion is described by using the liquid displacement potential and determined by using the compatibility conditions along the liquid interface with the plate. Minimizing the Rayleigh quotient based on the energy conservation gives an eigenvalue problem. It is found that the theoretical results can predict excellently the fluid-coupled natural frequencies comparing with the finite element analysis result.

Liquid detergent based on sodium lauryl ethoxy sulfate (SLES) as main ingredient sometimes met gelling film on the surface when it is opened in the air. It was assumed because of the change of phase diagram of micelle by concentration change of surfactant, major ingredient of detergent when the water of detergent is evaporated. SLES showed strong hexagonal liquid crystal (LC) in 30~60 wt%, and lamellar LC over 60 wt%. In this research surface gelling formation of liquid detergent which is based on SLES as main ingredient was because of water evaporation. As water of detergent was evaporated, concentration of surfactant became higher. It was checked that surface gelling was LC of mixed surfactant system. Conclusionally we applied alpha olefin sulfonate (AOS) having good solubility, Sodium secondary alkane sulfonate (SAS) preventing hexagonal LC and hydrotrope sodium xylene sulfonate (SXS) and PEG1500 in order to prevent gelling film in SLES based liquid detergent. Like this, improved formula 4 and 5 can prevent the formation of gelling film on the surface of liquid detergent when it is opened in the air.

Liquid fertilizers made from livestock manure contain high concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus and thus are used as a fertilizer. However, excessive use of liquid fertilizer causes eutrophication of agricultural land and nonpoint source pollution. In this study, as a means of lowering the nutrient concentrations, struvite ($MgNH_4PO_4{\cdot}6H_2O$) production from the liquid fertilizer was investigated. When liquid fertilizers produced in Gyeonggido were analyzed, its characteristics differed by region and season, but the phosphorus concentration was commonly lower than that of nitrogen. When $K_2HPO_4$ and $MgCl_2$ were added to the liquid fertilizers, the optimal pH for struvite formation was pH 9.5. For environmentally friendly sources of magnesium and phosphate, ferronickel slag (FNS) and sewage sludge ash (SSA) were suspended in deionized water and extracted by sulfuric acid with various mass ratios. The optimum conditions for extracting FNS and SSA were 4.0 M sulfuric acid and 0.35 mass ratio of sulfuric acid to sewage sludge ash, respectively. For forming struvite, 0.233 L of SSA leachate (SSAL) was added into 0.3 L of liquid fertilizer containing 2,586 mg/L of ammonia and 110 mg/L of phosphate, pH was then adjusted to pH 9.5 using 10 M of NaOH. Afterwards 0.333 L of FNS leachate (FNSL) was added to this mixed solution. After a reaction for 1 hr at room temperature, the remaining concentrations of magnesium, ammonium, and phosphate were less than 50 mg/L, 500 mg/L and 150 mg/L, respectively, and 30 g of precipitates were obtained, most of which were struvite.

An experimental investigation has been peformed to examine the effects of various geometrical parameters and an initial operating condition on the air-water countercurrent How limitation (CCFL) in a simulated PWR hot leg. A total of 118 experimental data for the onset of CCFL and zero liquid penetration were obtained for various combinations of test parameters. It was observe that the CCFL can be classified into three different categories: (the onset of CCFL, (the partial liquid delivery, and (r) the zero liquid penetration. The observed mechanisms of the onset of CCFL were different depending on the inlet water flow rate. The parametric effects of pipe diameter, horizontal pipe length, horizontal pipe length-to-diameter (L/D) ratio, and initial water level in the horizontal pipe of the test section on the onset of air-water CCFL were also examined. An empirical correlation for the onset of CCFL in a horizontal pipe connected to an inclined riser was developed in terms of Wallis flooding parameters for the low inlet water flow rate region. Comparisons of the present empirical correlation with the air-water CCFL data of large pipe diameters show that the present correlation agrees more closely with the experimental data than the existing CCFL correlations.

The object of this paper is to study on the thermal performance of a micro channel water block for computer CPU cooling. The effects of liquid flow rate, micro channel width and height on the thermal performances of water block are investigated experimentally. The water block was fabricated Al and machined with a micro milling. The water block consisted of rectangular micro channels 0.5 to 0.9 mm width and 1.5 to 4.5 mm height. The experiments were conducted using deionized water, over a liquid flow rate ranging from 0.2 to 2.0 kg/min. The base temperature and thermal resistance decrease with increasing of liquid flow rate. The increase of a channel height is more effective on the thermal resistance than the decrease of a channel width. At the flow rate of 0.7 kg/min, input power of 100 W, the base temperature and thermal resistance of sample 6 is $33^{\circ}C$ and $0.13\;^{\circ}C/W$ respectively.

The hydrofluoric acid (HF) leakage accident occurred on September 2012 in Gumi, Korea affected the surrounding soils and plants. In this study, we investigated fluoride migration in Gumi area through geochemical properties of soil-liquid phase (pore water F and water-soluble F). The concentrations of porewater F and water-soluble F were obtained from N.D (Not detected) to 9.79 mg/L and from 0.001 to 21.4 mg/L, respectively. F in pore water seemed to be affected by artificial and natural origin, and PHREEQC results implied that fluorite is F control factor. F concentrations of soil and soil-liquid phase did not exceed concern level of regulatory criteria and showed similar trends compared by previous studies. Therefore, F contents remained in the soil and soil-liquid phase were considered to be not affected by HF leakage accident.

Carbon Capture and Storage with ocean sequestration is being considered as one of the most effective option for reducing the $CO_2$ net flux from atmosphere nowadays. But it is still possible for $CO_2$ substance to leaks out from transport pipeline or from the under seabed storage sites and causing damage to ambient environment. The behavior of liquid $CO_2$ under droplet shape would be strongly affected by the presence of other contaminants such as $SO_2$ comes from processing processes. This presentation shows the behavior in the sea water of pure liquid $CO_2$ droplets as well as droplets that consist of $SO_2$ substances. The study uses computational fluid dynamic models in comparison with experimental data from other previous researchers. Droplet of liquid $CO_2$ is assumed to be released at several depths in deep ocean, with other environmental conditions are set up respectively. All calculations are conducted with many different ratio of contaminant $SO_2$ to provide fundamental data of those particles rising characteristics. The effect of contaminants on the behavior of $CO_2$ droplets would be clearly shown through the results of particle deformation, terminal rising velocity happen due to buoyancy force driving from the difference in density of $CO_2$ substance and ocean water around.
