The ejector type microbubble generator, which is the method to supply air to water by using cavitation in the nozzle, does not require any air supplier so it is an effective and economical. Also, the distribution of the size of bubbles is diverse. Especially, the size of bubbles is smaller than the bubbles from a conventional air diffuser and bigger than the bubbles from a pressurized dissolution type microbubble generator so it could be applied to the aeration tank for wastewater treatment. However, the performance of the ejector type microbubble generator was affected by hydraulic pressure and MLSS(Mixed Liquor Suspended Solid) concentration so many factors should be considered to apply the generator to aeration tank. Therefore, this study was performed to verify effects of hydraulic pressure and MLSS concentration on oxygen transfer of the ejector type microbubble generator. In the tests, the quantity of sucked air in the nozzle, dissolved oxygen(DO) concentration, oxygen uptake rate(OUR), oxygen transfer coefficient were measured and calculated by using experimental results. In case of the MLSS, the experiments were performed in the condition of MLSS concentration of 0, 2,000, 4,000, 8,000 mg/L. The hydraulic pressure was considered up to $2.0mH_2O$. In the results of experiments, oxygen transfer coefficient was decreased with the increase of MLSS concentration and hydraulic pressure due to the increased viscosity and density of wastewater and decreased air flow rate. Also, by using statistical analysis, when the ejector type microbubble generator was used to supply air to wasterwater, the model equation of DO concentration was suggested to predict DO concentration in wastewater.

Air bubbles which may be generated during the PCB coating process can be a major cause of malfunction. so it is necessary to detect the bubbles in advance. In previous studies, candidates for bubbles were extracted using the brightness characteristics of bubbles, and the candidates were verified using CNN(Convolutional Neural Networks). In this paper, we propose a bubble detection method using a transfer learning-based CNN model. The VGGNet is adopted and sigmoid is used as a classification layer, and the last convolutional layer and classification layer are trained together when transfer learning is applied. The performance of the proposed method is F1-score 0.9044, which shows an improvement of about 0.17 compared to the previous study.

The present study is an experimental investigation of nucleate boiling heat transfer mechanism in pool boiling from wire heaters immersed in saturated FC-72 coolant and water. The vapor volume flow rate departing from a wire during nucleate boiling was determined by measuring the volume of bubbles, varying $25{\mu}m,\;75{\mu}m,\;and\;390{\mu}m$, from a wire utilizing the consecutive-photo method. The effects of the wire size on heat transfer mechanism during a nucleate boiling were investigated by measuring vapor volume flow rate and the frequency of bubbles departing from a wire immersed in saturated FC-72. One wire diameter of $390{\mu}m$ was selected and tested in saturated water to investigate the fluid effect on the nucleate boiling heat transfer mechanism. Results of the study showed that an increase in nucleate boiling heat transfer coefficients with reductions in wire diameter was related to the decreased latent heat contribution. The latent heat contribution of boiling heat transfer for the water test was found to be higher than that of FC-72. The frequency of departing bubbles was correlated as a function of bubble diameters.

Sonoluminescence (SL) characteristics such as pulse shape, radiance and spectrum radiance from submicron bubbles were investigated. In this study, a set of analytical solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations for the gas inside bubble and equations obtained from mass, momentum and energy equations for the liquid layer adjacent the bubble wall were used to estimate the gas temperature and pressure at the collapse point, which are crucial parameters to determine the SL characteristics. Heat transfer inside the gas bubble as well as at the liquid boundary layer, which was not considered in the most of previous studies on the sonoluminescence was taken it into account in the calculation of the temperature distribution inside the bubble. It was found that bremsstrahlung is a very possible mechanism of the light emission from either micron or submicron bubbles. It was also found that the peak temperature exceeding $10^{6}$ K in the submicron bubble driven at 1 MHz and 4 atm may be due to the rapid change of the bubble wall acceleration near the collapse point rather than shock formation.

Partial discharge measurement is one of the effective diagnostic techniques to predict abnormal high voltage dielectric insulation conditions of the electric equipments. Recently partial discharge diagnostic techniques were also utilized to evaluate the cryogenic dielectric insulation of high temperature superconducting electric equipment in liquid nitrogen. Generally, liquid nitrogen at 77 K is used used as the cryogenic and dielectric media for many high temperature superconducting high voltage applications. When a quench in the superconductor occurs, bubbles are generated which can affect the dielectric properties of the liquid nitrogen. So in order to reduce the bubble formation, subcooled nitrogen was also employed for this purpose. In this work, investigation of partial discharge characteristics of subcooled liquid nitrogen were conducted in order to clarify the retardation of partial discharge initiation voltage according to the different subcooling temperature of liquid nitrogen. And also the relation of partial discharge phenomena and the activities of bubbles were analyzed. It was observed that PD inception voltages shows rather different characteristics according to the decrease of subcooling temperature and the activities of bubbles were strongly influenced by temperature of the subcooled liquid nitrogen.

The elimination and erosion of cohesive sediments in port and reservoir water can so far be processed only with mechanical evacuation methods under extreme energy expenditure. The so-called flushing jets do not serve the purpose because they cannot set the material spaciously in motion despite high shear stresses at the bed. Therefore this study aims to examine the resuspension of the deposited fine material($Al_{2}O_3$) under presence of gas bubbles in order to decreased cohesive sediments in multipurpose dam, port and lakes. In the case of laboratory trial important parameters considered are supplied amount of air and the consolidation time of the solid materials. With increasing gas content alumina remains in suspension at high pH values in the laboratory test, where the particles fall mote rapidly without air addition.

Propagation phenomena of nonlinear pressure waves in a bubbly mixture are studied. The governing equations for a bubbly mixture are derived heuristically and energy equation is incorporated with other governing equations to take thermal effects into consideration inside the bubble. This non-isothermal condition of the bubble inside is especially important when high amplitude pressure waves are treated. Keller's equation is adapted for the bubble dynamics as practical problem. Some numerical simulations are carried out for the shock tube problem using a computer program based on the above model. A comparison with experimental results of Noordzij and van Wijngaarden shows that the structure of the wave in the shock tube experiment seems to be much more significantly affected 요 the complex heat transfer phenomena inside the bubbles than by the relative translational motion between bubbles and surrounding liquid.

In this paper, we propose a method to generate and optimize the height map that is suitable to render a soap bubble. The height map represents the flow speed of soap bubbles. To this end, we have analyzed the flow of the soap bubble surface through experiment, derived the moving speed value for each section. Some image filters have been used for optimization that reflects the parameters of the derived height map. In addition, in order to verify the results of the study, actual data measuring the surface flow speed of soap bubbles, the speed of the initial height map, and the optimized height map speed have been compared and tested. Through this study, we reach the issue that it is possible to express the variable flow speed of soap bubbles with the optimized height map, and it will help to express various fluids.

This experiment was a study of a Vortex nozzle designed to produce micro-bubbles due To investigate air self-suction and the generation of micro-bubble by the Vortex nozzle, the dimensions of air intake region, the nozzle shape, and the nozzle exit diameter ($d_n=5,7,9.2,12.3mm$)werevaried. The air self-suction rate was ~1,000 to 2,000 cc/min at the orifice nozzle (7 mm), and ~100 and ~22 cc/min at the sector nozzles (9.2 and 12.3 mm, respectively). The most bubbles were detected in the orifice nozzle, but bubbles less than $50{\mu}m$ were found in the 12.3-mm sector nozzle. The dissolved oxygen in the tank water was much greater in Case 2 than in Case 1, at both the orifice and sector nozzles. Moreover, the reduction rate of dissolved oxygen was found to be less at the sector nozzles, than at the orifice nozzle.

Laboratory testings were carried out on plastic board drains (PBDs) using large scale test apparatus to evaluate the physical properties and the drainage performance. The test results reveal that the domestic products of PBDs are well compared with the foreign prod acts as far as the quality and drainage performance are concerned. It has also been confirmed that the discharge capacity decreases with time in such a way that the air bubbles are entrapped inside kinky PBDs and these air bubbles block the water flow through PBDs. It has been found that the vacuum pressure iseffectively applicable to recover the discharge capacity affected by the entrapped air bubbles.
