A simple Couette flow velocity profile with an appropriate correlation for the free terminal rise velocity of a single bubble in a quiescent liquid can produce reliable results for the trajectories of small spherical air bubbles in a low-viscosity liquid (water) provided the liquid remains under uniform shear flow. Comparison of the model adopted in this paper with published results has been accomplished. Based on this study it has also been found that the lift coefficient in water is higher than its typical value in a high-viscosity liquid and therefore a modified correlation for the lift coefficient in a uniform shear flow of water within the regime of the $E\ddot{o}tv\ddot{o}s$ number $0.305{\leq}Eo{\leq}1.22$ is also presented.

A pulsed tracer gas technique is applied to measure distributions of local mean age and residual life time of air in a half-scale experimental chamber. The room airflow patterns are flow-visualized by a Helium bubble generator for three different exhaust locations. A supply slot is located at the top of a right wall, and an exhaust slot is either at bottom-left(Case 1), bottom-right(Case 2), or top-left(Case 3) location. Results show that the distribution of LMA and LMR are different from each other, but both of them are closely related to the airflow pattern in the space. Results on overall room ventilation effectiveness are provided depending upon ventilation airflow rates for three different supply-exhaust configurations.

A flow injection type biosensor was tested to confirm the performance of a batch and a continuous type flow injection unit. Reproducibility and consistence of the biosensor were investigated to determine the effect of pulsations and air bubbles, and the applicability of on-line monitoring. The air bubbles affected the performance of the sensor irrespective of the location, and also the pulsations of the pump influenced the performance of the sensor. The applicability of on-line motoring was accepted as the result of the repeated and long-term measurements.

In the present study, the gas injection system based on air-water model was designed to investigate the flow characteristics of liquid phase. A PIV system was applied to analyze the flow pattern in a ladle which gas stated to rise upward from the bottom. Gas flow is one of most important factors which could feature a flow pattern in a gas injection system. As the gas injected into the liquid, the kinetic energy of bubble transfer to liquid phase and a strong circulation flow develops in the liquid phase. Such a flow in the liquid develops vortex and improve the mixing process. Due to the centrifugal force, circulation flow was well developed near both wall sides and upper region respectively. Increasing gas flow was helpful to remove dead zone but, weak flow zone still exists in spite of the increasement of gas flow rate.

지하역사 내 대기오염물질은 외부에서 유입되거나 또는 지하철 내부의 승객 승·하차 시 발생하는 등 여러 가지 요인에 의해 복합적으로 발생한다. 최근 연구 결과에 따르면, 지하역사 내 터널 및 지하철역에서 발생하는 대부분의 대기오염물질은 열차풍에 의해 발생되는 것과 같이 내부적 요인에 많은 영향을 많이 받는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이러한 대기오염물질을 제어하기 위해서는 지하철역사 내에 전기집진장치와 같은 집진시설이 필요하며, 집진장치에 의해 제거된 미세먼지를 보다 효율적으로 관리하기 위해서는 집진장치 내부에 지속적인 세척이 필수적이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 지하역사에 설치할 전기집진장치 내부 집진판에 쌓인 미세먼지를 세척하기 위한 나노버블세척 장치를 개발하였고 나노버블수의 먼지세척효율을 평가하고자 하였다. 실험 결과, 분사압 증가에 따라 세척 효율이 일정하게 증가하였고 나노버블수로 세척할 경우 수돗물로 세척한 경우보다 부착먼지 제거효율이 130.8% 더 증가하였다. 세척횟수 증가에 따라 최대 제거효율은 수돗물에 비해 143.1% 높았지만 적합한 세척횟수는 3회 미만인 것으로 나타났다. 또한 나노버블수 체류시간 변화에 따른 세척효율 실험결과, 나노버블수의 최대 체류시간은 5분 이내로 유지됨을 확인하였다.

An experimental investigation was performed to study on the generation of air bubble and air core with swirling flow in a horizontal cicular tube. To determine some characteristics of the flow, 2D PIV technique is employed for velocity measurement in water. The experimental rig is manufactured from an acryl tube. The test tube diameter of 80mm, and a length of 3000mm. The used algorithm is the gray leve cross-correlation method(Kimura et al. 1986). An Ar-ion laser is used and the light from the laser(500mW) passes through a probe to make two-dimensional light sheet. In order to make coded images of the tracer particles on one frame, an AOM(Acoustic-Optical Modulator) is used. The maximum axial velocities showed near the test tube wall at y/D =0.1 and y/D =0.9 along the test tube. The higher Reynolds number increase, the lower axial velocities are showed in the center of the test tube. The air bubbles are generated from Re =10,000 and developed into air core from the recirculating water pump rpm equal 30Hz. The pressure and temperature are measured across the test tube at X/D=3.33.

공기양정(air-lift) 펌프는 양수 조작이 어려운 곳이나 물밑의 탐사, 특히 수중의 부서지기 쉬운 침전물을 손상시키지 않고 제거하거나 회전 임펠러를 손상시킬 수 있는 혼합물의 이송에 이용하는 특수한 양수펌프이다. 이 연구에서는 공기양정펌프의 주요부 분인 라이저 즉, 수직상승관에 대한 기액유동 이론 및 기존의 연구 결과에 따른 실험식을 이용한 성능예측 프로그램에 의해 양수 특성을 운전조건에 따라 고찰하고 기존의 실험결과와 비교하였다. 그 결과 공기양정펌프의 양수성능은 잠수비와 라이저의 단면적에 근사적으로 선형비례하며 최적의 효율이 얻어지는 가스질량유량을 설정할 수 있음을 보였다.

As an effective means to convey crushed materials from seabed to onboard ship and to raise hazardous or abrasive liquids, air-lift pump provides a reliable mechanism due to its simple configuration and easy-to-operate principle. The present study is focused on investigation of related performance by the analysis program based on the gas-liquid two-phase flow in circular pipes. The program covers pump operating in isothermal and vertical two-phase flow with Newtonian liquids. It is summarized as important result that an optimum air mass flow rate exists for the maximum lifted liquid mass flow rate in terms of a given submergence rates. The comparison between riser performance of the conveyed liquid flow rate calculated by the computer program and measured data with large scale air lift pump system constructed in 200 meter depth vertical tank reveals similar distribution.

In recent years, carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) bubbles emerged as the most widely applied material with the recycling of sequestrated storage to decrease global warming. Flotation using $CO_2$ as an alternative to air could be effective in overcoming the high power consumption in the dissolved air flotation (DAF) process. The comparison of DAF and DCF system indicated that, the carbon dioxide flotation (DCF) system with pressurized $CO_2$ only requires 1.5 ~ 2.0 atm, while the DAF system requires 3.0 ~ 6.0 atm. In a bid to understand the characteristics of particle separation, the single collector collision (SCC) model was used and a series of simulations were conducted to compare the differences of collision and flotation between $CO_2$ bubbles and air bubbles. In addition, laboratory experiments were sequentially done to verify the simulation results of the SCC model. Based on the simulation results, surfactant injection, which is known to decrease bubble size, cloud improved the collision efficiency of $CO_2$ bubbles similar to that of air bubbles. Furthermore, the results of the flotation experiments showed similar results with the simulation of the SCC model under anionic surfactant injection. The findings led us to conclude that $CO_2$ bubbles can be an alternative to air bubbles and a promising material as a collector to separate particles in the water and wastewater.
