In this study, the optimum pump operation technique is suggested to decrease the damage rate of water distribution system. Pump operation system was developed to achieve the effective pump operation. Pressure sensors which can communicate with pumps are installed at the end of water distribution system. Pump operation system can control the pressure of water pump according to data sent from the pressure sensors. Therefore, water distribution system can reduce the pressure and maintain enough pressure which can supply the demand of water users. For proving effectiveness of new system, reliability model was introduced to compare the results of damage rates between the maintaining high pressure and selective pressure in water pump. Unsteady analysis was conducted with several scenarios. And the results were used to calculate the probability of pipe breakage. From the results, it was found that new pump operation system can reduce the energy usage and probability of pipe breakage by applying to pumps.

빗물펌프장은 도시지역 저지대의 우수를 강제로 배출하여 제내지의 치수안전도를 향상시키기 위한 방재시설이다. 변화하는 기상조건에 맞추어 침수취약지역의 치수안전도를 유지 또는 향상시키기 위해서는 빗물펌프장 설계시 목표한 치수성능을 지속적으로 구현할 필요가 있다. 그러나, 펌프시설의 고속운전, 변화하는 펌프운영조건 등의 영향으로 펌프의 성능은 지속적으로 저하된다. 이와 같은 펌프성능의 주요원인은 펌프운영시 발생하는 공기연행이 주요 원인중 하나이다. 흡수정 설계단계에서는 와류에 의한 공기연행을 제어하기 위하여 흡입관경, 흡수정 벽면으로부터의 이격거리 등의 설계요소를 반영하고 있지만, 도심지역의 제한적인 공간특성으로 인하여 설계기준치를 만족하지 못하는 경우가 발생하게 된다. 설계시 흡수정 내에 형성되는 와류를 억제하기 위하여 흡수정의 벽면 모서리를 완만하게 시공하거나, 흡수정 내에 날개벽 또는 별도의 시설을 설치하는 방법을 채택하고 있다. 그러나, 이와 같은 와류방지시설은 고정된 설계조건에 대하여 성능구현이 가능하지만, 홍수시 흡수정 내의 흐름은 하천의 수위 및 유입되는 유량에 의하여 시시각각 변화하게 된다. 이와 같은 운영조건의 변화에 대응할 수 있는 방법을 제시하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 수면에 부유식 와류방지장치를 설치하고 이에 대한 성능을 3차원 수치모의를 통하여 재현한 후 정량적으로 분석하였다. 부유식 와류방지장치에 대한 성능검토결과, 다양한 운영조건에서도 부유식 와류방지장치가 유효한 와류저감효과를 구현하고 있는 것을 확인하였다.

This study was conducted to investigate the applicability of pulsed electric field (PEF) treatment for the prevention of scaling formation and membrane fouling reduction. To validate the effect of PEF and to identify the mechanism, some experiments with and without PEF treatment were carried out. PEF treatment affected the precipitation of $CaCO_3$ by which $CaCO_3$ particles were actively grown and sedimented. It was confirmed that the calcium ions were decreased as 78% and particle size was grown by PEF treatment. It was also verified that the crystalline structure of $CaCO_3$ was transformed by PEF treatment from Aragonite, which is formed at a high temperature and hard to be removed, to Calcite being stable at room temperature. In PEF treatment, permeate volume and permeation flux were greater than that of without PEF, case while Langelier Index(LI) decreased. From the experiment results, PEF treatment is believed to be an effective method to prevent scaling formation and to mitigate $CaCO_3$ fouling as the pretreatment of membrane filtration.

한국건설기술연구원(Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology, KICT)의 안동하천연구센터(Andong River Experiment Center, REC)는 다양한 하천 관련 실규모 실험을 수행하기 위해 3개의 수로를 보유하고 있다. 본 연구의 주목적인 실증 실험 계측 결과를 기반으로 3D 게임엔진을 이용하여 물 흐름을 재현하기 위해 A1 수로를 대상구간으로 설정하였다. 실증 실험의 경우 2개의 수문 개도율 조건에서 ADV와 ADCP를 활용하여 계측된 유량 및 유속 결과들을 비교하였으며, 추가적으로 영상 데이터로 부터 표면유속(LS-PIV)을 산정하였다. 3D 게임 엔진은 렌더링 엔진, 물리 엔진, 오디오 엔진, UI 시스템, 게임플레이 프레임워크 등이 잘 융합된 소스코드들과 개발자들이 이용하기 쉬운 방식으로 변환된 툴(tool)로 제공하여 현실 세계를 가상 세계에 시각화하여 구현하는데 큰 장점을 가지고 있다. 또한 기존의 흐름 재현이 가능한 수리/수문 모델링의 경우 특정한 목적으로만 이용가능하고 연산에 소용되는 시간 때문에 실시간 흐름재현이 어렵지만, 3D 게임엔진을 이용하는 경우 다양한 목적과 여러 분야와의 고려가 동시에 가능하며 연산의 단순화를 통해 실시간 흐름 재현이 가능하다는 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 언리얼 엔진의 Niagara Fluids와 Fluid flux 툴들을 활용하여 하천실증실험 시설 일부 구간에 대해 물 흐름을 재현하였다. 먼저 하천실험실증시설을 드론과 RTK-GPS를 이용하여 촬영된 결과를 정합하여 3D 게임엔진 기반 흐름 재현을 위한 지형 기초 자료를 구축하였다. 지형 계측 결과를 기반으로 A1 수로 전체 구간을 대상구간으로 설정한 이후 수문 조절을 통해 흐름 조건을 제어할 수 있도록 제작하였으며, 실제 흐름에 대한 계측 결과를 기반으로 재현된 흐름을 대상으로 material 값의 조정(방향 X, Y값을 RGB값으로 변환한 뒤 벡터 길이 값으로 환산)을 통해 0~100 사이 값을 이용하여 유속을 표현하였다. 최근 가상공간 (i.e. 디지털트윈) 관련 시장 성장이 매우 빠르고 다양한 사업에서 해당 기술의 수요가 증가하고 있으며, 본 연구를 통해 물 흐름의 디지털 트윈화를 위한 수단으로서 3D 게임 엔진의 활용 가능성을 확인하였다. 다만 실제 하천의 적용과 하천관리를 위한 실용화를 위해서는 추가적인 연구와 분석이 이루어져야 할 것이다.

A cooling system utilizing liquid helium to chill the cryopanel (800 mm $\times$ 700 mm dimensions) down to 4.2 K was designed, implemented, and tested to verify the role of the cryopanel as a heat sink for the payload of a spacecraft inside the large thermal vacuum chamber (effective dimensions : 8 m ($\Phi$) $\times$ 10 m (L)) of KARI (Korea Aerospace Research Institute). Two LHe (Liquid Helium) Dewars, one for the main supply and the other for refilling, were used to supply liquid helium or cold helium gas into this cryopanel, and flow control for the target temperature of the cryopanel within requirements was done through fine adjustment of the pressure inside the LHe Dewars. The return helium gas from the cryopanel was reused as a thermal barrier to minimize the heat influx on the core liquid helium supply pipe. The test verified a cooling time of around three hours from the ambient temperature to 40 K (combined standard uncertainty of 194 mK), the capacity for maintaining the cryopanel at intermediate temperatures, and a 1 K uniformity over the entire cryopanel surface at around 40 K with 20 W cooling power.

고도로 산업화가 진행됨에 따라 회전기계는 더욱 중요시되고 있으며 이의 성능 향상에 부단한 노력이 경주되고 있다. 특히 우주 시대의 개막과 더불어 우주선 및 인공위성에 사용하기 위해 초소형이며 초고속의 고성능회전모타 를 개발하기에 이르렀다. 한 예로서 미국립항공우주국(NASA)의 스페이스셔 틀에 사용되는 주엔진 터보펌프를 들 수 있는데 이 터보펌프는 접시만한 크 기로써 71000마력을 생성해 낸다. 이러한 가공할 만한 에너지 밀도와 유량을 감당해 내려면 종래의 회전기계보다는 훨씬 더 높은 회전속도를 가져야 한 다. 이러한 회전체는 큰 관성부하와 진 동 및 동안정성의 문제등을 내포하고 있다. 고성능 회전기계의 또다른 예로서 초정밀 가공용 공작기계를 들 수 있 다. 선반 혹은 밀링머신으로 초정밀가공을 행하기 위해서는 회전축의 진동이 극히 작아야 한다. 이와 같이 오늘날 갈수록 초고성능 초정밀도를 추구함에 있어서 회전축의 진동을 현장에서 모니터링하고 이 진동데이터를 분석하여 회전축을 제어하는 것이 강력히 요구되어진다. 따라서 in-situ 측정이 중요성 을 띠게 되었는데 이는 제어기술의 바탕이 되는 자료를 현장에서 제공할 수 있기 때문이다. 회전축 진동측정의 대상이 되는 것들은 모타, 발전기, 엔진 및 터빈등을 대표적으로 들 수가 있다. 여기서 소형회전기계의 축표면과 같 이 비교적 곡면을 이루고 있는 부분의 진동변위 측정에 신중한 고려가 요구 되어 진다. 이는 축의 곡면도에 따라 감도가 변화하기 때문이다. 따라서 평 판에 대한 calibration 챠트를 회전기계축진동 변위환상에 이용하면 곡률에 따라서 오차가 생기게 된다. 본 연구에서는 비접촉 축진동측정시 발생되는 오차에 대하여 검토하고자 한다. from the studies, the origin of ${\alpha}$$_1$peak was attributed to the detrapping process form trap with 2.88[eV] deep of injected space charge from the chathode in the crystaline regions. The origin of ${\alpha}$$_2$ peak was regarded as the detrapping process of ions trapped with 0.9[eV] deep originated from impurity-ion remained in the specimen during production process of the material, in the crystalline regions. The origin of ${\beta}$ peak was concluded to be due to the depolarization process of "C=0"dipole with the activation energy of 0.75[eV] in the amorphous regions. The origin of ${\gamma}$ peak was responsible to the process combined with the depolarization of "CH$_3$", chain segment, with the activation energy of carriers from the shallow trap with 0.

Minimizing the cylinder wear and the consumption rate of cylinder oil in a large two-stroke diesel engine is of great economic importance. A motor-driven cylinder lubricator for Sulzer RT-flex large two-stroke diesel engines developed by authors is in need of improving the lubricating system to lubricate cylinder parts optimally by an electronically controlled quill device according to changes of engine load and revolution speed. In order to apply the developed accumulating distributor to an integrated cylinder lubricator by the electronically controlled system as the third research stage, the lubricating system is improved in the electronically controlled quill device with a solenoid valve. In this study, the effects of lubricator revolution speed, driving pressure(or plunger stroke) and cylinder back pressure on oil feed rate and lubrication inequality rate are investigated by using the integrated cylinder lubricator system with an accumulated distribution by the electronic control(I.C.S.), and the oil feed rate and lubrication inequality rate of I.C.S. are compared with those of the motor-driven cylinder lubricator by the electronically controlled quill system equipped with an accumulating distributor(E.D.S.). It is found that the oil feed rate of I.C.S. is smaller than that of E.D.S. due to the reduction of delivery velocity by the higher delivery pressure, and the variances of lubrication inequality rate for I.C.S. have become smaller than those of E.D.S. as the driving pressure in all experimental conditions increases, except for the driving pressure of 26 bar(plunger stroke 2 mm) at the cylinder lubricator speed of 120 rpm.

As a method to reduce the total phosphorus in sewage treatment plant, we applied the integral type slow mixing/sedimentation fiber filtration system to compare the control methods for the sewage effluent and the reject water. It was analyzed that about 92.4 kg T-P/day should be removed in order to satisfy the final concentration of phosphorus of 0.2 mg T-P/L, which is reinforced effluent standard. Therefore the total phosphorus removal efficiency should be 96% for sewage effluent and 69.2% for reject water (dehydrated filtrate) respectively. The system operation cost to achieve the target of total phosphorus removal efficiency was assessed. It has been found that the treatment cost of the reject water containing high concentration of phosphorus with a low flow rate is reduced to about 1/2.4 of the coagulant cost and about 1/120 of the electricity cost, compared to that of the sewage effluent treatment. Also the economics of the integral type slow mixing/sedimentation fiber filtration system and the general coagulation and sedimentation system were compared. It was evaluated that the development system was more economical because the installation area of the integral type slow mixing/sedimentation fiber filtration system was about 1/7 smaller than that of the general coagulation and sedimentation system, and the annual operation cost including the required amount of coagulant and electricity cost of the development system was lowered about 1/1.7 than that of the general system.

Pressurized membrane used for side-stream MBR process requires fouling control strategy both for normal and abnormal operation conditions for stable operation of the facilities. In this study, $85m^3/day$ of pilot-scale side-stream MBR process was constructed for the evaluation of fouling mitigation by air bubble injection into the membrane module. In addition, fouling phenomena at abnormal operation conditions of low influent and/or loading rate were also investigated. Injection of air bubble was found to be effective in delaying transmembrane pressure (TMP) increase mainly due to scouring effect on the membrane surface, resulting in expanded filtration cycle at a high flux of $40L/m^2{\cdot}h$ (LMH). At abnormal operation condition, injection of PACl (53 mg/L as Al) into the bioreactor showed 19% reduction of TMP increase. However, inhibition of nitrifying bacteria by continuous PACl injection was observed from batch experiments. In contrast, injection of powdered activated carbon (PAC, 0.6 g/L) was able to maintain the initial TMP of $0.2kg/cm^2$ for 5 days at the abnormal conditions. It may have been caused from the adsorption of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), which was known to be excessively released during growth inhibition condition and act as the major foulants in MBR operations.
