Pukyong National University Students Receive Excellence Paper Award from the Korean Society of Marine Engineering

Palashi Chakma and Zao Hongwu, research students in the Department of Mechanical Design Engineering at the Graduate School of Pukyong National University, researcher Jeon Junho from Pyvex, and Professor Lee Yeonwon received the Excellent Paper Award from the Korean Society of Marine Engineering.

They received this award for their paper titled “Flow behavior and performance analysis of Annular Centrifugal Contactor for liquid-liquid separation: A numerical study” at the 2023 Joint Spring Conference of the Korean Society of Marine Engineering held recently at the Yeosu Expo Convention Center.

Published in Volume 46, Issue 4 of the Journal of the Korean Society of Marine Engineering, this paper was selected as an excellent paper of 2022 for presenting research results on the separation of two liquids with different densities.

The research team, including Pukyong National University students, conducted a detailed parametric analysis of mixing and separation based on differences in liquid density, angular velocity, and inflow velocity during mixture changes in this paper.

The research team revealed that oil separation efficiency decreases as the angle and inflow velocity increase, but increases as the difference in liquid density increases.

The Korean Society of Marine Engineering selects excellent papers from all papers published over the past year and awards paper prizes.
