최근 도심지 지하철내 누유로 인한 악취·화재의 위험이 대중매체를 통해 보도되어 사회적 문제로 대두되고 있으며, 개정된 토양환경보전법 및 지하수법에 따라 주유소오염에 대한 정화기준이 강화되고 있어 도심지 주유소와 인접한 천층부 지하철터널의 누유대책 마련이 절실히 요구되고 있다. 도심지 지하철터널의 누유대책을 서울시 지하철 00공구 설계사례를 통해 먼저 지하수 유동분석에 의한 지하수위 검토와 오염자 추적에 의한 누유확산 범위를 파악하고, 두 번째로 누유감지센서에 의한 누유조기경보, 유량계 및 수질센서에 의한 수질data화의 수질 및 유량자동모니터링 시스템을 구축하며, 마지막으로 Oil-Stop 맨홀에 의한 누유분리 차단대책을 제안하고자 한다.

An experimental study has been made to investigate the effect on wake flow and vortex shedding frequency by vortex stabilizer in Karman vortex type air flow sensor. The conditions investigated include 3 types of shapes and 3 types of separation distances of the vortex stabilizer. The phase averaged technique and smoke-wire flow visualization method are used to understand the detail information. The rolling up position of shear layer is fixed by the influence of the vortex stabilizer. Especially, the convex type vortex stabilizer has shown the more stable repeatability and linearity regarding the vortex shedding frequency compared to the other types.

In the present paper, a micro flow sensor, which can be used at bio-delivery systems and micro heat pumps, is developed. For this, the micro flow sensor is integrated on a quartz wafer ($SiO_2$) and is manufactured by simple and convenient microfabrication processes. The micro flow sensor aims for measuring mass flow rates in the low range of about $0{\sim}20$ SCCM. The micro flow sensor is composed of temperature sensors, a heater, and a flow microchannel. The temperature sensors and the heater are manufactured by the sputtering processes in this study. In the microfabrication processes, stainless steel masks with different patterns are used to deposit alumel and chromel for temperature sensors and nichrome for the heater on the quartz wafer. The microchannel is made of Polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS) easily. A deposited quartz wafer is bonded to the PDMS microchannel by using the air plasma. Finally, we confirmed the good operation of the present micro flow sensor by measuring flow rate.

대다수의 유량계는 특성상 공통구나 맨홀 등 일반적으로 사람의 눈에 잘 보이지 않는 곳에서 동작하는 경우가 많다. 따라서 아날로그 유량계의 경우 상태를 점검하기 위해 많은 불편함을 감수해야 하지만, 디지털 유량계를 도입하면 그러한 불편함을 줄일 수 있다. 디지털 유량계의 도입은 무선 기술을 결합할시 관리를 손쉽게 하는 등 유지보수성을 높일 수 있는데 그 역시 전력을 공급하는데 있어 배선관리 등의 문제점이 다시 발생하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 무선 센서네트워크(이하 USN) 기술을 융합하여 원하는 정보를 손쉽게 얻고 유지보수 비용을 낮추며 향후 다양한 활용을 가능케 하는 배터리 기반의 유량계 관리 시스템과 그 활용 방안을 제시한다.

본 연구에서는 최근 다양한 전자 소자로써의 연구가 진행되고 있는 그라핀을 실리콘 기판위에 전자빔 식각(Electron-Beam Lithography)을 이용하여 TLM (Transfer Length Method) 패턴을 형성하고 가스 유입이 가능한 진공 챔버를 가지는 Probe Station을 이용하여 I-V 변화를 측정함으로써, 그라핀을 가스 센서 소자로서의 가능성을 연구하였다. 우리는 기존의 광식각을 이용한 TLM 패턴 형성과 더불어 전자빔 식각(E-Beam Lithography: EBL)을 이용한 TLM 패턴을 형성하여 I-V를 측정하였는데, 전자빔을 이용한 TLM 패턴의 형성은 광식각을 이용한 방법에 비해 더 세밀하고 미세한 패턴을 형성하는 것이 가능하다. 이렇게 형성된 그라핀의 TLM패턴은 가스 유량 조절이 가능한 진공 챔버를 가지는 Probe Station을 이용하여 측정하게 되는데, 이 때 저진공 상태의 챔버 내로 N2, H2 두 종류의 가스를 각각 유량을 변화시키며 주입하고 그 변화를 측정하였다. 유입된 가스는 그라핀의 Dangling Bond에 결합됨으로써 그라핀의 전도도를 변화시키게 되고, 변화된 그라핀의 전도도에 따른 I-V 결과의 변화를 측정하여 이를 가스 센서로 사용할 수 있는지를 측정하였다. 또한 유입되는 가스의 유량 변화에 따른 I-V 결과의 변화량을 통하여 가스 센서의 민감도 또한 측정하였다.

To ensure the stable flight of aerospace electric propulsion systems, it is necessary to measure the supplied flow rate and control it to an appropriate level. However, conventional flow sensors are costly and face limitations in space environments, making heat-based flow estimation a promising alternative. In this study, the Taguchi method, one of the experimental design techniques, was applied to perform thermal analysis simulations using Ansys under various variables and conditions. The Taguchi method was used to set heat supply and the positioning of inlet and outlet temperature sensors as key variables, and the optimal distance conditions were derived. Thermal analysis was conducted through Ansys to analyze the flow estimation results under each experimental condition. Therefore, this study demonstrates the practicality of the heat-based flow estimation method for fuel management systems in electric propulsion systems, presenting a new approach for the efficient and economical operation of electric propulsion. Additionally, this research contributes to the development of fuel management technologies that can be effectively utilized in the constrained environment of space.

A thermal mass air flow sensor (MAFS), which consists of a micro-heater and thermo-resistive sensors on the silicon-nitride ($Si_3N_4$) thin membrane structure, is micro-fabricated by MEMS processes. Two thermo-resistive temperature sensors are located at $100{\mu}m$ upstream and downstream from the micro-heater respectively. The thermal characteristics are measured to find the best measurement indicator. The micro-heater is operated under constant power condition, and four flow indicators are investigated. The normalized temperature indicator shows good physical meaning and is easy to use in practice. It is found that the configurations and heating power of thermal-resistive elements are the dominant factors to determine the range of the flow measurement in the MAFS with higher sensitivity and accuracy.

This paper describes on the fabrication and characteristics of hot-film type micro-flowsensors integrated with Pt-RTD(resistance thermometer device) and micro-heater on the Si membrane in which MgO thin-film was used as medium layer in order to improve adhesion of Pt thin-film to SiO$_2$layer. The MgO layer improved adhesion of Pt thin-film to SiO$_2$layer without any chemical reactions to Pt thin-film under high annealing temperatures. Output voltages increased due to increase of heat-loss from sensor to external. The output voltage was 82 mV at $N_2$flow rate of 2000 sccm/min heating power of 1.2 W. The response time($\tau$:63%) was about 50 msec when input flow was stepinput

This paper has researched water supply facilities management using real-time water utility monitoring system based on USN(Ubiquitous Sensor Network) which is consisted of wireless sensors transferring waterworks facilities md treatment information about a valve-room and flowmeter-room of water supply installation. In the manholes, it was installed with flowmeter, pressure sensors, vibration sensors, Co-sensors, and hydro-thermograph sensors. These measurement values which are received by PDA are used for facilities operation on the spot safely and conveniently. It has also provided safe installation management via CDMA(Code Division Multiple Access) network which transfers data to remote servers to monitoring at a distance place. With safety management system of water supply facilities on USN technology convenience and safety is increased in real situation, and it is expected that we can supply clean water to people as much safer and more effective water supply installation management.
