The novel rector employs polyurethane sponge material as support media, which promises a proliferation of a large amount of biomass, and thus an excellent capability of removing pollutants. The characterization of the three types of sponge support media is conducted in respect of water flow and oxygen uptake ability. Water was supplied to the device which consisted of 40 sponge media connected in series, and then tracer experiment was carried out. The ratios of actual hydraulic retention time (HRT) per theoretical HRT were in the range of 25-67% depending on the type of support media, meaning that short circuit flow occurs in this type of reactor. By supplying deoxygenized water from the top of the device, overall volumetric oxygen transfer coefficient, KLa, was evaluated. In spite of the non-aerated conditions, the KLa values were so high, 0.56-4.88 (1/min), surpassing those of other mechanically aerated aerobic processes. Furthermore, it was found that the suspended solids (SS) concentration in the influent played a role to increase the ratio of actual HRT/theoretical HRT, meaning that management of the influent SS concentration is prerequisite for preventing the clogging problem in the DHS.","PeriodicalId":282024,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Japanese Society for Experimental Mechanics","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132517704","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The spatter particle of various sizes appears during the metal arc welding, and then adheres so strongly on the surface of welded plate. In general, the commercial spatter adhesion preventive agent is coated on the surface of plate before welding. However, the agent from artificial organic synthesis has several problem, such as influence of global environmental and human health, stink and expensive. The purpose of this study is to develop the new welding spatter adhesion preventive agent made of water, flour powder and honey, which brings the environmental merit, no stink and low cost. Effective contents among water, flour and honey was confirmed by sensory evaluation test and experimental observation after welding. The results of tensile inspection test of a butt welded specimen of SS400 and hydrogen analysis by JIS Z3118 satisfied welded strength and the reliability of welding.

Identified parameters almost coincide with practical values. The proposed method can be used to evaluate the characteristics of materials on the order of micro to millimeters. First, the P−h curves of the indentation are determined by experiment. Second, FE analysis of the indentation test assuming plastic hardening behavior in power−law hardening material is specified by the stress–strain curve. The FE model consisted of the test piece material and the indenter with a spring element considered the elastic deformation of the measuring system. The material parameters can be identified based on the curve fit using the polynomial function consisting of material parameters.

Test liquids employed were water, ethanol and aqua-solutions of propylene-glycol. Liquid injection velocity was ranging from 1 to 20 m/s. It was found that the liquid jet deformed into chains of bamboo-leaf-like liquid films, the edges of the liquid film became thick rims due to the surface contraction, the threaded-beads-like wave of short wave-length appeared on the rims, and the liquid jet broke up regularly due to the wave. The resulting droplets were more uniform and smaller than those of liquid jet from circular-orifice. Satellite droplets were also formed, but the generating frequency was not so high. The characteristics of interfacial wave on liquid jet and the size distribution of droplets were investigated by image analysis. Based on the results, the mechanism of regular breakup of the liquid jet from oblong-orifice was discussed.
