A glass bulb is the most reliable and simplest device for a fire sprinkler head system. We had developed an accurate glass bulb. The glass bulb is composed with a glass ampoule, liquid filled within the ampoule and an air bubble in the liquid. The first step of the development was to establish a stable mass production system for uniform glass ampoule. The second step is to optimize the composition of the liquid and the size of the bubble. It was also a difficult problem to devise manufacturing process to form uniform bubble size. The final step for the development is to control the mechanics for glass breaking by surface treatment for the glass bulb.

The purpose of this study is to research a specific material characteristics of top down concrete at column joint and to reduce column joint opening. Based on the established top down study, the experiment to apply an real construction case is performed. When the concrete placed into joint of top down column, raised air bubble is left as opening. This study is examined the incomplete packing reason in the top down column and found to air deflation method. The result of study is below (1) As the method to minimize column opening caused from confined air, it is required that an air exhaust port installation in joint column. (2) From air exhaust port installation, most of air bubble in column part is exhausted. As the concrete placing height is going up, air bubble size is going smaller.

Mode interactions at Unstable fluid interfaces induced by a shock wave (Richtmyer-Meshkov Instability) are studied both analytically and numerically. The analytical approach is based on a potential flow model with source singularities in incompressible fluids of infinite density ratio. The potential flow model shows that a single bubble has a decaying growth rates at late time and an asymptotic constant radius. Bubble interactions, bubbles of different radii propagates with different velocities and the leading bubbles grow in size at the expense of their neighboring bubbles, are predicted by the potential flow model. This phenomenon is validated by full numerical simulations of the Richtmyer-Meshkov instability in compressible fluids for initial multi-frequency perturbations on the unstable interface.

The oxygen transfer coefficient was not significantly affected by either flow pattern, initial bubble size or the wastes present in the water studied. Surface active substances in the water did however influence the transition from bubble to slug flow. Airlift with length to diameter ratios less than 50 suffered from considerable losses in efficiency. When properly designed, airlift pumping efficiencies were comparable to those of conventional centrifugal pumps and the oxygen transfer efficiency were as high as or higher than those of diffused aeration systems.

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.

Electrical breakdown characteristics of liquid nitrogen($LN_2$) taking into consideration for application of high $T_c$ superconductor is very important. Also $LN_2$ will be used as both coolant and insulator in superconducting generator. In this paper, we investigated ac breakdown characteristics of cryogenic nitrogen gas above a $LN_2$ for rod-to plane electrode configuration. As result the breakdown mechanism of $LN_2$is dependence on bubble effect. And breakdown voltage is a ratio on bubble s size but electrodes arrangement is to make no difference. The breakdown voltage decreases slightly with increasing flow velocity, it again decreases abruptly with increasing flow velocity. These results were interpreted as the within pressure of rod electrode and Maxwell force.

슬러리 기포탑 반응기는 열 및 물질 전달의 용이성, 낮은 운전비용 및 장치의 간단성의 장점을 가지고 있어서 Fischer-Tropsch 반응, bio-reaction 등에 많이 응용되고 있다. 그러나 기포탑 반응기 내의 물질 거동은 매우 복잡하기 때문에 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있음에도 불구하고 그 현상에 대한 명확한 이해는 어려운 상황이다. 특히 기포탑반응기 내에 기체의 포집율(gas hold-up)을 증가시키는 것을 목적으로 하는 연구들이 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 trayed bubble column 반응기에서 tray의 기공크기에 따른 기체 포집율의 변화를 관찰하였다. 실험에 사용된 반응기는 내경이 0.15 m이고 높이 2.0 m의 아크릴 반응기를 이용하였다. 사용된 연속상은 수돗물을 사용하였고 분산상 기체로는 압축공기를 이용하였다. Tray의 기공크기는 1.1 mm부터 14.0 mm까지 변화시키면서 높이별 기체 포집율의 변화를 관찰하였다. 기체 포집율의 변화를 균일흐름 영역과 불균일 흐름 영역에서 그 양상이 다르게 나타났다. 즉 균일계 영역에서는 기공의 크기가 1.1 mm부터 2.9 mm까지 증가시면 기체포집율이 감소하는 반면 2.9 mm 이상에서는 증가하는 것으로 관찰되었다. 반면 불균일 흐름 영역에서는 전반적으로 기공의 크기가 작아질수록 기체포집율이 증가하였다. 또한 각각의 흐흠 영역에서의 기체포집율 증가정도는 확연한 차이를 보이는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이것은 흐름영역의 유체거동에 따라서 기포와 tray 기공사이의 상호작용 메커니즘이 달라지기 때문인 것으로 보인다.

The research aims to study the different flexible rubber tube diffusers used in urban wastewater treatment processes and aquaculture systems. The experiment was conducted in small-scale aeration tank with different physical properties of the tubes that were used as aerators. The volumetric mass transfer coefficient ($k_La$), oxygen transfer efficiency (OTE) and aeration efficiency (AE) were measured and determined to compare the diffusers. Moreover, the bubble hydrodynamic parameters were analyzed in terms of bubble diameter ($d_B$) and rising velocity ($U_B$) by a high speed camera (2,000 frames/s). Then the interfacial area (a) and liquid-side mass transfer coefficient ($k_L$) can be calculated. The physical properties (tube wall thickness, tensile strength, orifice size, hardness and elongation) have been proven to be the key factor that controls the performance (kLa and OTE). The effects of hardness and elongation on bubble formation, orifice size and a-area were clearly proved. It is not necessary to generate too much fine bubbles to increase the a-area: this relates to high power consumption and the decrease of the kL. Finally, the wall thickness, elongation and hardness associated of the flexible tube diffuser (tube No. 12) were concluded, to be the suitable properties for practically producing, in this research.

Recently, with increasing standards of living and income, environmental pollution has attracted increased interest. On account of a revision to water pollution regulations, the improvement of sewage disposal efficiency was studied. One of the ways to improve the sewage disposal efficiency is to increase the dissolved oxygen content of water in the water treatment tank. In this study, we suggest a nozzle design using a spiral and a crash mode for generating micro bubbles and thus increasing the dissolved oxygen content of water. The micro bubbles through the spiral and crash flows are generated in the nozzle. In the design of the crash mode, the development goal with regard to the bubble size was not achieved. On the other hand, a bubble size of $0-50{\mu}m$ accounted for 79.3% of all bubbles in the spiral mode. This study should contribute toward increasing the sewage disposal efficiency.
