In this consideration, this research investigated the piping design items and drew out key design items through interview with experts and surveys to apply them to actual project examples and look into piping design item-specific significance and cost variation ranges. Based on this investigation, the Monte-Carlo simulation was employed herein to analyze the cost variation range for the entire piping design costs with a view to presenting a way to calculate a reasonable bidding price for any similar project and verify the appropriateness of joining a bid.

국내 지역난방의 역사는 서구의 역사와 비교하여 짧기 때문에 아직 기술 도입의 의존도가 높고 설계에 있어서도 서구의 설계기준을 그대로 도입하여 지역난방 시스템을 운전하고 있다. 따라서 우리나라 실정에 맞는 시스템설계가 필요하다고 하겠다. 특히 열원시설과 수용가 시설사이에서 열을 운송하는 열운송시설, 즉 배관망(이후 배관망으로 칭한다.)에서의 공급 및 회수온도가 유럽의 대류난방방식에 따라 설계되어 높게 설정되어 있다. 공급 및 회수온도가 높다는 것은 열운송시 열손실이 많다는 것을 의미한다. 이에 이 연구에서는 일정 배관망 모델을 선정하여 공급 및 회수온도를 낮추어 운전할 때 발생되는 비용변화를 기초로 공급 및 회수온도 저하운전 가능성을 제시하고자 하였다. 그 결과 배관망에서 공급 및 회수온도를 동일 구배로 낮추는 것이 년간 총 비용을 감소시키므로, 운전온도의 저하가 가능함을 알 수 있었다.

원전 배관계통에 LBB를 적용하면 배관파단으로 인한 동적영향(dynamic effect)을 고려하지 않아도 되므로 각종 구조물의 설계가 단순해지고, 배관파단에 대비해 설치하였던 각종 지지구조물들을 제거할 수 있으므로 설계비용 절감 등 경제적 이점을 얻을 수 있다. 본 논문의 목적은 차세대원전 안전주입 및 정지냉각계통 배관에 대해 설계초기단계에서 LBB적용 여부를 판단할 수 있는 배관평가선도를 개발하는 것이다. 이를 위해 먼저 배관재료의 응력-변형률곡선을 사용하여 감지가능한 균열길이를 산출하였으며, 3차원 유한요소해석과 배관재료의 파괴저항곡선을 이용한 균열안정성평가를 수행하여 배관평가선도를 개발하였다. 본 연구에서 개발한 배관평가선도를 배관설계초기단계에 사용하면 LBB적용여부로 인한 설계변경과정이 불필요하므로 전체공기를 단축할 수 있으며, 특정한 배관계통이 아닌 일반 배관계통에 적용할 수 있으므로 LBB해석회수를 상당히 줄일 수 있다.

LNG (Liquified Natural Gas) carried by LNG ship is unloaded into the LNG storage tanks at the very low temperature (a little lower than the boiling point of LNG). Because LNG is unloaded through the pipeline, two phase flow appears in the pipeline. In this study, we have studied the pressure-drop mechanisms of the two-phase flow in the pipeline, and the calculation method of BOG (Boil-off Gas) amount based on the heat transfer mechanism through the insulation and the surface of the pipeline. We have developed a computer program for thermal-hydraulic analysis on the LNG pipeline system. We have also developed the optimal design program to find the optimal thickness of insulation and the pipeline size. The program searches the optimal design with the minimum capital cost of pipelines and insulation on the operating conditions of maximum allowance pressure-drop and BOG amount, etc.

The water distribution system problem consists of finding a minimum cost system design subject to hydraulic and operation constraints. The design of new branching network in a paddy irrigation system is presented here. The program based on the linear programming formulation is aimed at finding the optimal economical combination of two main factors: the capital cost of pipe network and the energy cost. Two loading conditions and booster pumps for design of pipe network are considered to obtain the least cost design.

In various industrial processes, piping serves as a link between unit processes and is an essential installation for internal flow. Therefore, the optimum design of the piping system is very important in terms of safety and cost, which requires the estimation of the pressure drop, flow rate, pipe size, etc. in the piping system. In this study, we developed a software that determines pressure drop, flow rate, and pipe size when any two of these design variables are known. We categorized the flows into single phase, homogeneous two phase, and separated two phase flows, and applied suitable calculation models accordingly. We also constructed a system library for the calculation of the pipe material, relative roughness, fluid property, and friction coefficients to minimize user input. We further created a costing library according to the piping material for the calculation of the investment cost of the pipe per unit length. We implemented all these functions in an integrated environment using a graphical user interface for user convenience, and C # programming language. Finally, we verified the accuracy of the software using literature data and examples from an industrial process with obtained deviations of 1% and 8.8% for the single phase and two-phase models.

The cost of a looped pipe network is affected by a set of loop flows. The mathematical model for optimizing the looped pipe network is expressed in the optimal set of loop flows to apply to a stochastic optimization method. Because the feasible region of the looped pipe network problem is nonconvex with multiple local optima, the Modified Stochastic Probing Method is suggested to efficiently search the feasible region. The method consists of two phase: i) a global search phase(the stochastic probing method) and ii) a local search phase(the nearest neighbor method). While the global search sequentially improves a local minimum, the local search escapes out of a local minimum trapped in the global search phase and also refines a final solution. In order to test the method, a standard test problem from the literature is considered for the optimal design of the paralled expansion of an existing network. The optimal solutions thus found have significantly smaller costs than the ones reported previously by other researchers.

As P-new-city is planned and constructed, district eating utilizing an existing near-by power plant's waste heat is considered as an economic and environment friendly way of providing heating to the new city. Many pipeline diameters and pumping station location and capacity were assumed, investigated and optimized, to satisfy the customers' heat demand considering common district heating pipe-network design and construction practice, and also and construction, pumping station land price and construction and the pumping energy cost during lifetime of DH systems.

This paper presents a hybrid network model(HY-PIPENET) implementing a minimum cost spanning tree(MCST) network algorithm to be able to determine optimum path and constrained derivative(CD) method to select optimum Pipe diameter. The HY-PIPENET has been validated with the published data of 6-node/7-pipe network. Networking system and also this system has been optimized with MCST-CD method. As a result, it was found that the gas can be sufficiently supplied at the lower pressure with the smaller diameters of pipe compared to the original system in 6-node/7-pipe network. Hence, the construction cost was reduced about $40\%$ in the optimized system. The hybrid networking model has been also applied to a complicated domestic gas pipeline network in metropolitan area, Korea. In this simulation, parametric study was peformed to understand the role of each individual parameter such as source pressure, flow rate, and pipe diameter on the optimized network. From the results of these simulations, we have proposed the optimized network as tree-type structure with optimum pipe diameter and source pressure in metropolitan area, Korea, however, this proposed system does not consider the environmental problems or safety concerns.
