An acoustic analysis of a fuel-rich gas generator for the drive of a turbopump in a liquid rocket engine has been performed and the length of a duct has been determined by comparing the resonant frequency of unstable acoustic modes to simulate an flight model gas generator, A practical short-length simulating duct has been determined by considering 1 or 2 wavelength of the unstable modes. Length adjustment of duct to turbopump can be a method to suppress a combustion instability problem by decoupling of acoustic mode and combustion characteristics. This method has been set up and validated with acoustic analysis and hot firing tests.

An acoustic analysis of a fuel-rich gas generator for the drive of a turbopump in a liquid rocket engine has been performed and the length of a simulating duct has been determined by comparing the resonant frequency of unstable acoustic modes to simulate an actual flight model gas generator. To simulate more realistically, a realistic short-length simulating duct has been determined by considering 1 or 2 wavelength of the unstable modes. Duct-length adjustment to turbopump can be a method to suppress a combustion instability problem by decoupling of acoustic mode and combustion characteristics. This method has been set up and validated with acoustic analysis and hot firing tests.

전 세계적으로 급증하고 있는 에너지 수요로 인해 오일, 가스 등의 에너지 생산 매체를 운송 할 수 있는 수송 수단인 배관에 대한 수요도 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 그러나 이러한 배관을 장시간 사용할 경우 노후화로 인해 발생되는 파공은 배관에 흐르는 유체 누설의 원인이 되고, 나아가서 경제 및 재난 피해를 야기할 수 있다. 따라서 다양한 배관 누설 검출 기술들이 개발되고 있는 추세이며, 이를 위해서는 신뢰성 있는 결함 모사 데이터의 확보가 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 신뢰성 있는 데이터 수집을 위해 배관의 누설 상황을 모사 할 수 있는 테스트베드를 제어하고, 테스트베드에서 데이터를 안정적으로 취득할 수 있는 테스트베드 제어 및 데이터 취득 시스템을 제안한다.

이 연구의 목적은 원주방향 균열을 가진 페라이틱 배관의 파괴거동을 실험적으로 평가하는데 있다. 한계하중방법, SC.TNP 방법, R6방법, 그리고 ASME Code방법과 같은 여러 파괴거동 평가 방법의 타당성이 PWR 운전조건(압력:15.5MPa, 온도:228$^{\circ}C$)하에서의 직경 16인치의 대규모 배관파괴실험을 통해 조사된다. 모사지진하중, 단일주파수 사인함수하중, 정하중과 같은 여러 가지 형태의 하중이 배관의 하중지지능력에 미치는 영향이 조사된다. 또한 엘보우부위와 직관부의 영향과 표면균열 및 관통균일의 영향 등도 함께 조사된다. 결과는 다음과 같다. (1) 표면균열을 가진 배관의 파괴거동은 한계하중방법과 SC.TNP 방법에 의해 잘 예측할 수 있다. 반면 관통균열의 경우는 한계하중방법에 의해 잘 예측된다. (2) 모사지진하중하에서는 단일주파수 사인함수하중이나 정하중 하에서 보다 하중지지능력이 크게 예측된다. (3) 엘보우부위와 직관부, 관통균열과 표면균열 사이에 파괴거동에 대한 큰 차이는 없다.

In this study, a steel frame that realized the second floor of a structure was fabricated in referring to NFPA 13. In addition, a riser pipe system with groove joints was installed, and a seismic simulation test was performed using static cyclic loading. Cyclic loading tests on the maximum allowable side sway of seismic design standards for buildings in Korea were conducted using actuators to analyze the seismic behavior of the riser pipe system and major piping elements due to the deformation of the steel frame structure or the displacement-dominant behavior caused by the relative displacement between the structural members in the event of a seismic load. Moreover, the deformation angle of the riser pipe system was measured using an image measurement system because it is difficult to measure using the conventional sensors.

The characterization of radiological contamination inside pipes generated during the decommission of a nuclear facility is necessary before pipes can be recycled or disposed. But, existing direct measurements of radioactive contamination level using the survey-meter can not estimate the characteristic of contamination on a local area such as the pipe inside. Moreover, the measurement of surface contamination level using the indirect methods has many problems of an application because of the difficulty of collecting sample and contamination possibility of a worker when collecting sample. In this work, plastic scintillator was simulated by using Monte Carlo simulation method for detection of beta radiation emitted from internal surfaces of small diameter pipe. Simulation results predicted the optimum thickness and geometry of plastic scintillator at which energy absorption for beta radiation was maximized. In addition, the problem of scintillator processing and transferring the detector into the pipe inside was considered when fabricating the plastic detector on the basis of simulation results. The characteristic of detector fabricated was also estimated. As a result, it was confirmed that detector capability was suitable for the measurement of contamination level. Also, the development of a detector for estimating the radiological characteristic of contamination on a local area such as the pipe inside was proven to be feasible.

A sudden pressure drop caused by the pressure relief valve acts as a strong noise source and propagates the compressible pressure fluctuation along the pipe wall, which becomes a excitation source of Acoustic Induced Vibration (AIV). Therefore, in this study, the numerical methodology is developed to evaluate the reduction effect of compressible pressure fluctuation due to curved pipe in the pressure relief valve system. To describe the acoustic wave caused by density fluctuation, unsteady compressible Large Eddy Simulation (LES) technique, which is high accuracy numerical method, Smagorinsky-Lilly subgrid scale model is applied. Wavenumber-frequency analysis is performed to extract the compressible pressure fluctuation component, which is propagated along the pipe, from the flow field, and it is based on the wall pressure on the upstream and downstream pipe from the curved pipe. It is shown that the plane wave and the 1st mode component in radial direction are dominant along the downstream direction, and the overall acoustic power was reduced by 3 dB through the curved pipe. From these results, the noise reduction effect caused by curved pipe is confirmed.

In this study, to determine whether it is possible to apply Polyethylene (PE) compound pipe, which was developed to solve the problem caused by the corrosion of the fire protection piping currently in usein water based fire extinguishing systems, we performed an actual mockup fire test. Since no test standard was available related to the developed compound pipe, we compared and analyzed domestic and international technical materials and test standards and selected suitable fire test standards to evaluate the performance of the PE compound pipe. we applied two fire test standards to the PE compound pipe, viz. those for CPVC and metallic pipes, and conducted a total of 6 experiments to evaluate its performance. According to the results of the first and second fire tests based on the test standard for the CPVC pipe, neither the fitting nor the piping was damaged or deformed and no leakage was observed in the pressure test, which was performed for 5 minutes. For the fire test based on the metallic pipe test standard, a total of 4 experiments were conducted. The first two experiments were conducted to simulate the wet piping system. In the results of this fire test, neither leakage nor rupture was observed from the PE compound pipe and no damage was caused, such as the secession of the PE material. However, in the next two experiments, which simulated the dry system, the PE compound pipe suffered damage and rupture, including deformation before the fire fighting water was discharged. Therefore, we found that the piping performance of the PE compound pipe did not undergo any deterioration, including fusion, deformation, or damage, in the wet piping system simulated fire test.

This paper describes multi-scale based ductile fracture simulation using finite element (FE) damage analysis. The maximum and crack initiation loads of cracked components were predicted using proposed virtual testing method. To apply the local approach criteria for ductile fracture, stress-modified fracture strain model was adopted as the damage criteria with modified calibration technique that only requires tensile and fracture toughness test data. Element-size-dependent critical damage model is also introduced to apply the proposed ductile fracture simulation to large-scale components. The results of the simulation were compared with those of the tests on SA333 Gr. 6 full-scale pipes at $288^{\circ}C$, performed by the Battelle Memorial Institute.
