During the late phase of severe accidents of light water reactors, a porous debris bed is expected to develop on the bottom of the flooded reactor cavity after breakup of the melt in water. The geometrical configuration, i.e., internal and external characteristics, of the debris bed is significant for the adequate assessment of the coolability of the relocated corium. The internal structure of a debris bed was investigated experimentally using the DAVINCI (Debris bed research Apparatus for Validation of the bubble-Induced Natural Convection effect Issue) test facility. Particle sedimentation under the influence of a two-phase natural convection flow due to the decay heat in the debris bed was simulated by dropping various sizes of particles into a water vessel with air bubble injection from the bottom. Settled particles were collected and sieved to obtain the particle mass, size distribution in the radial and axial positions, and the bed porosity and permeability. The experimental results showed that the center part of the particle bed tended to have larger particles than the peripheral area. For the axial distribution, the lower layer had a higher fraction of larger particles. As the sedimentation progressed, the size distribution in the upper layers can shift to larger sizes because of the higher vapor generation rate and stronger flow intensity.

Large amounts of oily wastewater discharged from various industrial operations (petroleum refining, machinery industries and chemical industries) cause serious pollution in the aquatic environment. Although dissolved air flotation (DAF) separating oil pollutants using microbubbles represents current practice, bubble size cannot be selectively controlled, and lots of power is required to generate microbubbles. Therefore, to investigate performance of the DAF process, this study examined the distribution of different sizes of microbubbles resulting from changes in physical shear force via modifying shapes of a slit-nozzle without an additional power supply. Three types of slit-nozzles (different angle, shape and length of the slit-nozzle) were used to analyze the distribution of bubble size. At a slit angle of $60^{\circ}$, shear force was 4.29 times higher than a conventional slit, and particle size distribution (PSD) in the range between 2 and $20{\mu}m$ more than doubled. Treatment efficiency of synthetic oily wastewater through the coagulation-DAF process achieved 90% removal of COD by injecting $FeCl_3$ and PACl of 250 mg/L and 100 mg/L, respectively, and the same performance resulted using $FeCl_3$ of 200 mg/L and PACl of 80 mg/L employing a slit-nozzle angle of $60^{\circ}$. This study shows that a coagulation-DAF process using a modified slit-nozzle can improve the pre-treatment of oily wastewater.

상수나 하수처리장에서 쓰이는 오존처리는 물질전달에 제약을 받는 공정임은 알려져왔다. 이런 물질전달의 한계를 극복하는 방법으로 매우 효과적인 것은 오존가스를 함유한 기포의 크기를 줄임으로써 물질전달에 필요한 접촉면적을 넓히는 것이다. 오존의 전달을 크게 하기 위한 방법으로서 본 연구에서는 전기장분사(Electrostatic spraying: ES)를 사용하였다. 실험에서는 ES와 기포발생판을 비교하였는데 ES실험에서는 전압을 0 kV에서 4 kV 범위까지 높여주어 물질전달효과를 살펴보았고 기공크기가 다른 두 가지 기포발생판(미세기공: 기공크기 $10{\sim}15{\mu}m$, 중간기공: 기공크기 $40{\sim}60{\mu}m$)을 사용하여 물질전달효율을 비교 분석 하였다. 물질전달효율은 시간의 경과에 따른 용존오존농도의 측정과 페놀의 산화시간으로 간접 계산하였다. 실험 결과 ES의 경우 전압을 0 kV에서 4 kV까지 올렸을 때 기포의 크기가 작아짐으로 인해 오존전달율을 약 40% 정도 향상시킬 수 있었다. 또한 ES와 기포발생판의 물질전달 비교실험에서 미세기공 기포발생판보다 4 kV의 ES가 더 효과적임을 알 수 있었다.

In this study, the synthesis of PZT powder by bubble column reactor was investigated at various reaction conditions. As a result, the volume % of $NH_3$ gas used as a precipitator had no effect on the synthesis, but the more research is needed to control particle size.As a carrier gas, Ar, $O_2$ and air only increased the stirring effect but had no effect chemically on the synthesis. The calcination temperature of prepared PZT powder was about $500-600^{\circ}C$ and the meanparticle size of synthesized PZT powder was about $0.17{\mu}m$. The grain size of sintered body is about $0.5~3{\mu}m$ and this is similar with the value of commercial products.

In a screw-type centrifugal pump, the pump head deteriorates from single-phase flow to the choke due to an increased air entrainment at a wide tip clearance compared to that of a narrow tip clearance. Moreover, at a narrow tip clearance, the pump head became partially higher in a two-phase flow than that of a single-phase flow near the best efficiency point in low void fraction region. Therefore, we observed the internal flow pattern by using a stroboscope and we measured the mean size of bubbles from the images obtained with a high speed camera. Then, we investigated the influences of the mean size of bubbles, tip clearances and flow patterns on pump performance.

송이균사의 대량배양에 적합한 공기부양식 생물반응기 형태를 찾고자 풍선형 및 칼럼형의 공기부양식 생물반응기와 external-loop형의 기포통기식 생물반응기에서 송이균사체를 심부배양하여, 반응기 형태별 송이균사체의 생장특성을 비교하였고, 반응기 형태가 세포에 주는 스트레스 정도를 비교하기 위하여 배양기 형태별 균사체의 에르고스테롤의 함량 변화를 비교하였다. 반응기 형태별 송이 균사체의 생산량은 풍선형 생물반응기에서 평균 12g, external-loop형의 기포통기식 생물반응기에서 평균 11.4g, 칼럼형 생물반응기는 평균 9.5g을 생산하여, 풍선형 생물반응기가 가장 우수하였다. 생장기간도 풍선형 생물반응기에서 균사 접종 후 16일 이후부터 정체기에 이르는 것으로 20일 이후에 나타난 칼럼형 및 기포통기형 생물반응기 보다 빠르게 생장하는 것으로 나타났다. 균사체의 생장시기별 에르고스테롤의 함량은 풍선형 공기부양식 생물반응기에서 가장 높이 나타났으며 이어서 칼럼형, 기포통기식 순으로 나타나, 송이 균사체 배양시 반응기 형태에 의한 물리적 스트레스는 풍선형 공기부양식 생물반응기가 가장 적게 받는 것으로 추정되었다. 송이 균사체 배양에 가장 적합한 공기부양식 생물반응기의 형태는 풍선형인 것으로 추정 할 수 있었다. 그러나 칼럼형 및 풍선형 공기부양식 생물반응기는 스파자 부근에서 균사체가 침적, 착생하여 점차 크게 뭉쳐 성장하면서 공기공급을 차단하는 현상이 있었으나 external-loop형의 기포통기식 생물반응기에서는 유체의 순환으로 이러한 현상은 적게 나타나 대용량의 송이 균사체 배양에 적합한 반응기 형태로는 배양기의 상부가 풍선형 반응기의 형태를 유지하고, 스파자가 위치한 하부는 external-loop형의 기포통기식 생물반응기의 유체 순환식 형태를 유지하도록하는 혼합형의 형태가 좋을 것으로 추정되었다.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of hydrocolloids on the changes in physical properties of a model ice cream. The model ice cream contained water, sugar, skin milk powder, com oil, and 4 different hydrocolloid stabilizers (gelatin, pectin, hydroxyethylstarch, locust bean gum), was manufactured in a batch type freezer. The following physical characteristics of ice cream were examined: flow behavior, overrun, air cell size, ice crystal size, and melt resistance. With regard to flow behavior, all of aged mixes had a lower apparent viscosity relative to the mix before aging, and ice cream mix containing locust bean gum had the highest viscosity. Air cell size was observed to range from 20 to $38\;{\mu}m$, and ice cream with locust bean gum showed the largest size. There was an inverse correlation between overrun and air cell size. The ice crystal sizes of all samples ranged from 25 to $35\;{\mu}m$. Ice cream with added pectin contained the smallest ice crystal size, which was significantly difference from other stabilizers (p<0.05), and resulted in superior melt resistance with increased melting time compared to other samples.

Characteristics of two-phase flow and heat transfer were numerically investigated in a submerged gas Injection system. Effects of both the gas flow rate and bubble size were investigated. In addition, heat transfer characteristic and effects of heat transfer were investigated when temperature of the injected gas was different from that of the liquid. The Eulerian approach was used for the formulation of both the continuous and the dispersed phases. The turbulence in the liquid phase was modeled by the use of the standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model. The interphase friction and heat transfer coefficient were calculated by means of correlations available in the literature. The turbulent dispersion of the phases was modeled by introducing a "dispersion Prandtl number". The plume region and the axial velocities are increased with increases in the gas flow rate and with decreases in the bubble diameter. The turbulent flow field grows stronger with the increases in the gas flow rate and with the decreases in the bubble diameter. In case that the heat transfer between the liquid and the gas is considered, the axial and the radial velocities are decreased in comparison with the case that there is no temperature difference between the liquid and the gas when the temperature of the injected gas is higher than the mean liquid temperature. The results in the present research are of interest in the design and the operation of a wide variety of material and chemical processes.

Bond strength between alloy and ceramic plays an important role in deciding the quaring the processing of metalceramic restorations. Now the author had an experiment on the measurement of bond strength differences accoding to the contents of recast alloy used during the processing of metal-ceramic restorations. In the experiment, Anusavice's Planar Interface Shear Bond Test was employed to determine the bond strength. Total 25 specimens were divided as 5 groups, that is, 5 specimens in a group respections : Group I (new alloy 100%) Group II (new 75%$\cdot$recast 25%), Group III (new 50%$\cdot$recast 50%), Group IV (new 25%$\cdot$recast 75%), Group V(recast 100%). All specimens examined micropically and respective strength values of the group specimens were checked simultaneously. The results were as follows, 1. In the analtsis of variance the result showed the significant differences of 1%(P<0.01) among the each group classifid according to the recast contents. 2. When the interfaces of specimens were examined with an electron microscope, the air bubble were evenly occurred in all the specimens, and the occurrence frequencies and the sizes of air bubble were different between Group I and Group III, especially marked different Group I and Croup V. 3. In respective verification of each group through T-test, between Group I and Group II, between Group I and Group III did not show significant differences. 4. There was significant difference between Group I and Group IV, between Group I and Group V as 1%(P<0.01). 5. In the Shear Bond Test of all the groups, Croup V showed the lowest value.

Among the techniques of reducing the drag to increase the speed of underwater moving bodies, we studied on the drag reduction method by gas injection. Researches on gas injection method have been paid much attention to reduce the drag of vessels or pipe inner walls. In this study, we used a sintered metal mesh that can uniformly distribute fine bubbles by gas injection method, and applied it to a cylindrical underwater moving body. Using the KRISO medium-sized cavitation tunnel, we measured both the bubble size on the surface of the sintered mesh and the bubble distribution in the boundary layer. Then, drag reduction tests were performed on the cylinder type underwater moving models with cylindrical or round type tail shape. Experiments were carried out based on the presence or absence of tail jet injection. In the experiments, we changed the gas injection amount using the sintered mesh gas injector, and changed flow rate accordingly. As a result of the test, we observed increased bubbles around the body and confirmed the drag reduction as air injection flow rate increased.
