This paper presents an ongoing study to develop a novel pressure sensor by means of a Nano Carbon Piezoresistive Composite (NCPC). The sensor was fabricated using the 3D printing process. We designed a miniaturized cantilever-type sensor electrode to improve the pressure sensing performance and utilized a 3D printer to build a small-sized body. The sensor electrode was made of 2 wt％ MWCNT/epoxy piezoresistive nano-composite, and the sensor body was encapsulated with a pipe plug cap for easy installation to any pressure system. The piezoresistivity responses of the sensor were converted into stable voltage outputs by using a signal processing system, which is similar to a conventional foil strain gauge. We evaluated the pressure-sensing performances using a pressure calibrator in the lab environment. The 3D-printed cantilever electrode pressure sensor showed linear voltage outputs of up to 16,500 KPa, which is a 200％ improvement in the pressure sensing range when compared with the bulk-type electrode used in our previous work.

The effect of the relative distance between two cavity flame holders on the performance of a supersonic combustor was experimentally investigated. A rectangular cross-sectional combustor model with one cavity flame holder on each of two facing walls was used, with two difference distances between cavities of 135 mm and 220 mm. The fuel equivalence ratio was varied as 0.16 and 0.38. A direct-connected type test facility was used to provide Mach 2 flow condition. The test results revealed that the combustion pressure was higher for the shorter cavity distance case. But fuel equivalence ratio did not have large effect on the combustion pressure. It was concluded that, to get higher combustor pressure, there needs to be further combustor configuration change such as smaller cavity distance or tandem cavity installation.

원자로 압력공기 재료인 SA508-3 강의 중성자 조사량에 따른 Hysteresis Loop 의 변화와 Barkhausen Noise 의 변화를 조사하였다. 조사량에 따른 최대자기유도, 보자력, 잔류자화 및 Barkhausen Amplitude 의 변화를 측정하였으며, 이를 격자변형에 의한 자구 벽의 pinning 과 중성자 조사에 의한 자기에너지의 변화로 설명하였다. 중성자 조사에의 한 자기적 성질은 기계적 성질의 변화보다 훨씬 민감하게 변화하였으며, 보자력과 잔류자화는 중성자 조사량에 따라 선형으로 증가하였다. 이를 이용하면 조사손상 평가와 함께 조사량을 측정하는 dosimetry 에도 적용될 수 있는 가능성이 있다.

The internal pressure is a critical parameter for designing a pressure vessel. The static pressure that a pressure vessel must withstand is usually determined according to the various codes and standards with simple formula or numerical simulations considering the geometric parameters such as diameter and thickness of a vessel. However, there is no specific codes or technical standards we can use practically for designing of pressure vessels which have to endure the detonation pressure. Detonation pressure is a kind of dynamic pressure which causes an impulsive pressure on the vessel wall in a extremely short time duration. In addition, it is known that the magnitude of reflected pressure at the vessel wall due to the explosion can be over twice the incident pressure. Therefore, if we only consider the reflected pressure, the design of the pressure vessel can be too conservative from the economical point of view. In this study, we suggest a practical method to evaluate the magnitude of maximum allowable pressure that the pressure vessel can withstand against the detonation inside a vessel. As an example to validate the proposed method, we consider the pressure vessel containing hydrogen gas.

월성1호기 압력관의 수소흡수 관련 자료들을 분석하였으며, 캐나다 발전소들의 결과와도 비교하였다. 압력관의 수소흡수 특성은 압력관내 위치, 사용온도, 가동이력 등에 영향을 받아 Inlet 쪽보다는 Outlet 쪽이, 사용온도가 높을수록, 또한 가동에 따른 조사량이 증가할수록 수소흡수량이 증가하였다. 한편 압력관내로의 수소흡수 거동을 규명하기 위해 Zr-2.5wt%Nb 합금의 열처리 조직 차이에 따른 수소흡수특성을 분석하였다. 수소흡수는$\alpha$-Zr 상에 비해 $\beta$-Zr, $\beta$-Nb 상에 크게 영향을 받는 것으로 보인다. 또한 합금내의 수소량 증가가 압력관 부식특성 자체에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위하여 열처리 시편에 일정량의 수소를 charging 시킨 후 부식시험을 수행하였다. Zr-2.5wt%Nb 합금의 부식거동은 미세조직에 가장 큰 영향을 받아$\alpha$-Zr과 $\beta$-Zr 상의 시편이$\alpha$-Zr과$\beta$-Nb 상의 시편에 비해 큰 부식속도를 보였다. 또한 시편내 150ppm 이하의 수소함량은 시편의 부식거동에 별다른 영향을 없거나, 부식속도를 약간 감소시키는 것으로 추정된다.

In this study, we have investigated the influence of sputtering conditions (Ar pressure input powers, substrates) on coercivity and microstructures of GdFe, Co, CoCr thin films produced by the method of DC magnetron sputtering. In GdFe films, we have observed that the Gd atomic ratio was decreased with the deposition rate, and deposition rate decreased with the pressure of Ar gas and the increased linearly with input power. It was also observed that the coercivity of thin films was increased with input power. In Co films, we have investigated the deposition was increased and the Co thin film became finer structure with the increase in the input power, was increased and the Co thin film became finer structure with the increase in the input power, and the deposition rate was decreased with the pressure of Ar gas. In CoCr films, we have investigated the effects of substrates on the coercivity $(H_c)$ and the microstructure. We have found that the substrates plays a crucial role in the microstructure and the coercivity $(H_c)$.

City gas pipelines are buried underground. Because of this, pipeline is hard to manage, and can be easily damaged. This research proposes a real time prediction system that helps experts can make decision about pressure anomalies. The gas pipline pressure data of Jungbu City Gas Company, which is one of the domestic city gas suppliers, time variables and environment variables are analysed. In this research, regression models that predicts pipeline pressure in minutes are proposed. Random forest, support vector regression (SVR), long-short term memory (LSTM) algorithms are used to build pressure prediction models. A comparison of pressure prediction models' preformances shows that the LSTM model was the best. LSTM model for Asan-si have root mean square error (RMSE) 0.011, mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) 0.494. LSTM model for Cheonan-si have RMSE 0.015, MAPE 0.668.

두 가지 어류 이동용 여수로 설계안에 대하여 유한요소법 기반의 레블�V 기법을 이용하여 흐름을 모의하고 적용성을 검토하였다. 첫 번째 설계안은 저수지에서 여수로로 직각 형태의 유입부를 가지고 있으며, 두 번째 설계안은 부드러운 곡면 형태의 유입부를 가지고 있다. 수치해석 결과를 자유수면의 위치, 압력분포 등의 특성을 중심으로 여수로 수리모형 실험 결과와 비교하였다. 그 결과, 직각 형태의 유입부를 갖는 설계안의 경우, 유입부의 응력분포의 영향으로, 평탄하지 않은 자유수면형과 압력분포를 보이는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. 반면에 곡선형태의 유입부를 갖는 여수로의 경우에는 수면형과 압력분포에서 완만한 변화를 보이는 것이 관측되었다. 여수로 정상부에서 대기압보다 작은 부압의 분포는 두 가지 설계안 모두 비슷한 분포를 보였다. 여수로의 출구부에서는 측면부에서는 와류의 영향으로 인하여 수면의 상승을 관찰할 수 있었다. 결론으로서 곡면 유입부 형태의 여수로가 완만한 천이역을 갖고 있으며, 어류이동측면에서 유리함을 확인할 수 있었다.

An air chamber is designed to keep the pressure from exceeding a predetermined value, or to prevent low pressures and column separation. Therefore, it can be used to protect against rapid transients in a pipe system following abrupt pump stoppage. In this research, an air chamber was applied to a hypothetical pipe system to analyze attenuation effect of pressure head for different air volumes, locations, chamber areas, coefficients of orifice loss and polytropic exponents. With an increase of air volume, the maximum pressure head at pump site is decreased and the minimum pressure head is increased. For different locations and areas of the chamber, the attenuation effects do not show much difference. Also, as the orifice loss coefficient increases, the maximum pressure head is decreased. For different polytropic exponents, isothermal process shows lower maximum pressure head than that of the adiabatic process.
