The mixing process with carbon black is important in the rubber industries. However, it is difficult to characterize the mixing mechanism of the carbon black. The mixing mechanism(distributive mixing and dispersive mixing) was discribed in this paper. The effect of fill factor on the mixing of the carbon black was studied. The dispersive mixing ability increases with increasing fill factor. However, the distributive mixing ability decreases with increasing fill factor. The effect of the carbon black content on the rheological property of the material was studied in this paper. The viscosity of the material increases with increasing the carbon black content. However, the elasticity of the matarial decreases with the carbon black content.

A study of temperature profiles in mixing zone of AHU (air handling unit) can contribute greatly to enhance performance of AHU system, so the study on the temperature distribution between RA (return air) and OA (outdoor air) is important to analyze the mixing characteristics in a mixing zone of AHU. Accordingly, the temperature profiles during RA (return air) and OA (outdoor air) supply process into mixing zone of AHU with an air mixer are studied experimentally. The effect of air mixer, OA temperature and RA/OA flow rate are studied in detail. In this study, the results show that the mixing efficiency is all high for installed the air mixer. The more OA temperature increase and OA flow rate decrease, the more mixing efficiency is high.

The appropriate injection of H₂O₂ is essential to produce hydroxyl radicals (OH·) by mixing H₂O₂ quickly and exposing the resulting H₂O₂ solution to UV irradiation. This study focused on evaluating mixing device of H₂O₂ as a design factor of UV/H₂O₂ AOP pilot plant using a surface water. The experimental investigation involved both experimental and model-based analyses to evaluate the mixing effect of different devices available for the H₂O₂ injection of a tubular hollow pipe, elliptical type of inline mixer, and nozzle-type injection mixer. Computational fluid dynamics analysis was employed to model and simulate the mixing devices. The results showed that the elliptical type of inline mixer showed the highest uniformity of 95%, followed by the nozzle mixer with 83%, and the hollow pipe with only 18%, after passing through each mixing device. These results indicated that the elliptical type of inline mixer was the most effective in mixing H₂O₂ in a bulk. Regarding the pressure drops between the inlet and outlet of pipe, the elliptical-type inline mixer exhibited the highest pressure drop of 15.8 kPa, which was unfavorable for operation. On the other hand, the nozzle mixer and hollow pipe showed similar pressure drops of 0.4 kPa and 0.3 kPa, respectively. Experimental study showed that the elliptical type of inline and nozzle-type injection mixers worked well for low concentration (less than 5mg/L) of H₂O₂ injection within 10% of the input value, indicating that both mixers were appropriate for required H₂O₂ concentration and mixing intensity of UV/ H₂O₂ AOP process. Additionally, the elliptical-type inline mixer proved to be more stable than the nozzle-type injection mixer when dealing with highly concentrated pollutants entering the UV/H₂O₂ AOP process. It is recommended to use a suitable mixing device to meet the desired range of H₂O₂ concentration in AOP process.

In this paper, Part II, we realized the Serpentine Laminating Micromirer (SLM) which was proposed in the accompanying paper, Part I, by means of the injection molding process in mass production. In the SLM, the higher level of chaotic mixing can be achieved by combining two general chaotic mixing mechanisms of splitting/recombination and chaotic advection by the successive arrangement of 'F'-shape mixing units in two layers. Mold inserts for the injection molding process of the SLM were fabricated by SU-8 photolithography and nickel electroplating. The SLM was realized by injection molding of COC (cyclic olefin copolymer) with the fabricated mold inserts and thermal bonding of two injection molded COC substrates. To compare the mixing performance, a T-type micromixer was also fabricated. Mixing performances of micromixers were experimentally characterized in terms of an average mixing color intensity of a pH indicator, phenolphthalein. Experimental results show that the SLM has much better mixing performance than the I-type micromixer and chaotic mixing was successfully achieved from the SLM over the wide range of Reynolds number (Re). The chaotic micromixer, SLM proposed in this study, could be easily integrated in Micro-Total-Analysis- System , Lab-on-a-Chip and so on.

No. of exceeded KBEI was 62 workers(63.3%) for urinary NMF($40mg/{\ell}$), 29 workers(29.6%) for urinary MEK, 1 worker(1.0%) for urinary hippuric acid. 5. The regression equations were Log(NMF)=0.4094*Log(DMF)+1.3587(r=0.4516) for DMF, Log(MEKU)=0.1859*Log(MEK)-0.0324(r=0.3303) for MEK, Log(HA)=0.2106*Log(Toluene)-0.5685(r=0.4497) for toluene. Synthetic leather factory workers expose to 3 kinds of organic solvents which are DMF, MEK and toluene. Their urinary NMF and MEK levels were higher than their concentration levels through respiratory. It seems that the urinary levels were affected skin absorption for working habit and alcohol intake.

공기유입속도가 $217l{\cdot}m^{-3}{\cdot}min^{-1}$이었을 경우, 고온 호기조를 이용하여 PAC로 응집, 탈수된 조류의 분해 특성을 관찰한 결과 다음과 같이 요약할 수 있다. 10% 폐 식용유의 혼합조건이 본 연구에서 최적 조건으로 온도는 $55^{\circ}C$ 이상을 나타내었고, 수분은 55%를 일정하게 유지하였으며, $CO_2$의 농도는 최고 3.7%, 투입 탄소량의 92%가 $CO_2$-C로 변환하였다. 적정한 폐식용유의 혼합은 미생물의 활동을 활발하게 하였지만 과도한 혼합은 수분 증발로 건조상태로 되었으며 오히려 분해 활성에 저해 영향을 주었다. 처리가 종료된 담체는 고농도의 알루미늄이 축적되어 있으므로 별도의 처리가 요구된다.

Mixing in Y-channel micro mixer is analyzed through computational fluid dynamics. In the case of passive mixing, we investigate the effect of geometric parameters on the mixing efficiency, such as shape of throttling geometry and angle between two inlets. Mixing performance improves as two fluids join not just horizontally but both vertically and horizontally, and it also improves when channel follows throttling shapes. A numerical results substantiate the highly efficient mixing performance. It is highly beneficial to fabrication process since the proposed throttling geometry is simple, but allows high mixing ratio.

Effective mixing gives strong advantageous impact on microfluidic applications since mixing is in general very slow process motivated by molecular diffusion transport only on the micro-scale. In this work, the mixing characteristics are analyzed in a Y-channel micromixer with obstacles. For the through analysis, our laboratory in-house unstructured grid CFD code is validated through solving a concentration transport in a uniform microchannel. The solutions well correspond to both exact solutions and those from MemCFD. Mixing in a Y-channel micromixer with obstacles is numerically investigated by the in-house code to search the optimal radius and layout of obstacles. From the simulations, the mixing efficiency appears to be proportional to the magnitude of the formation of lateral velocity component. It is also shown that the asymmetric layout and radius enlargement of obstacles greatly improves mixing efficiency.

하천 합류부는 두 하천이 만나 형성되는 지역으로 합류부 구간의 혼합 매커니즘을 이해하기 위해서는 지류의 다양한 유입조건에 따른 본류와의 수체혼합의 공간적인 패턴을 분석하는 것이 중요하다. 그러나, 대부분의 합류부 연구들은 실측을 통한 현장데이터를 획득하기 어렵기 때문에 수리 및 수질 수치모형을 통한 연구가 주로 수행되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 지류와 본류의 합류의 혼합 현상을 규명하는 인자로 유속과 수심 등 기본적인 수리학적 인자들 외에 최근 하천 유사측정을 위해 부유사농도의 지표로 연구되고 있는 ADCP의 초음파산란도를 활용하여 합류부에서 상이한 유사특성을 가진 두 수체가 혼합되는 양상을 측정하여 합류부의 혼합 특성을 해석하고자 하였다. 초음파산란도는 부유사와 관련되는 인자로 SonTek ADCP 이동식으로 측정된 초음파산란도(SNR)자료를 빔퍼짐에 대한 보정, 물에 의한 흡수를 고려하여 보정한 후 3차원 혼합거동의 공간적인 분포를 도출하였다. 그리고 측정기간 중 드론(UAV), LISST를 이용하여 합류부의 혼합양상을 모니터링하여 초음파산란도를 이용한 분석결과와 비교하였다. 분석결과, ADCP로부터 제공되는 초음파산란도를 보정한 결과 합류부의 3차원적인 유사 혼합의 공간적 특성을 규명하는 데 적합한 인자라고 할 수 있었고, 상이한 본류와 지류의 유입을 고려하였을 때 다양한 혼합 거동을 분석하는데 지표로 사용이 가능함을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 남강과 낙동강의 합류부에 대해 초음파산란도를 활용하여 합류부의 혼합 특성을 분석하였다.

The effects of silane coupling agents on the injection molding process were investigated using silicone nitride mixtrues with a binder system containing polypropylene as a major binder (55vol% solid loading). The formation of bonding between silicon nitride powder and coupling agents was confirmed through the analyses of powder surface. The use of coupling agents improved mixing characteristics judged by the torque change during mixing process. the coupling agents also reduced molten viscosity of the mixture considerably, which is a main factor to determine the flow of the mixture. However, the bonding between coupling agents and polymers had a negative effect on the debinding process by retarding the thermal decomposition.
