본 연구에서는 자동유량측정시설에 의하여 실시간으로 생산되는 자동유량측정 자료의 정상성 여부를 판단하는데 중요한 적정 측정 신뢰구간을 실시간으로 예측할 수 있는 기술을 개발하였다. 전세계적으로, 현대적인 유량측정이 시작된 이래 연속유량 산정을 위한 방법은 수위-유량관계곡선을 이용하는 방법 외에 실무적으로 활용 가능한 방법은 거의 전무한 실정이다. 수위-유량관계곡선을 이용하는 방법은 연속수위를 계측하여 이에 해당하는 연속유량을 산정하는 방법으로 수위와 유량간에 일정한 관계를 가지는 정상적인 흐름을 보이는 자연하천의 경우에 정확도가 매우 높다. 그러나 감조나 구조물 등에 의해 유량이 조절되는 경우에 유량산정의 정확도는 현저히 떨어지게 된다. 따라서 수위에서 유량을 환산하는 방법이 아닌 유량을 직접 연속으로 측정하는 방법이 꾸준히 연구되어 왔고, 이 중 가장 대표적인 방법이 자동유량측정 방법이다. 그러나 자동유량측정 방법은 유량을 연속으로 측정할 수 있다는 장점에 반해 측정된 유량의 정확도를 높이기가 매우 어렵다는 단점도 가지고 있다. 계측 자체의 기술적 한계는 주로 계측기기적인 문제로 이는 전자기, 통신 기술 등 첨단 기술의 발전과 함께 다양한 현장 시험을 통해 폭넓은 개선이 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 아직 기술적 완성도가 완전하지 못한 현실에서, 현재 설치되어 있는 자동유량측정 유량자료의 신뢰도를 높이기 위해서는 각각의 계측 시점에서 자료가 정상적으로 산정되고 있는지에 대한 검정이 필요하고, 이는 자동유량측정 자료의 정확도 확보에 매우 중요한 관건으로 작용할 수밖에 없다. 이러한 배경에서 본 연구에서는 조석성분과 유출성분을 분리하여 예측하는 방법을 새롭게 개발 적용하였다. 자료는 자료의 시간해상도 증감에 따른 실제 예측의 정확도 증감을 고려하여 가장 적절하다고 판단되는 시자료를 사용하였으며, 자료간 상관을 분석하여 주 입력 자료로 팔당댐 방류량, 한강대교 지점 수위, 전류 수위를 이용하였다. 모형의 예측 능력을 극대화하기 위하여 조석 영향을 받는 자료의 경우는 웨이블릿 변환(wavelet transform)을 이용하여 순수 유출성분과 조위성분을 분리하여 별도로 적용하였다. 그리고 예측을 위한 모형은 실시간 자료기반 모형으로 그 안정성이 인정된 서포트벡터머신(support vector machine)을 이용하였다. 이러한 과정을 통해 한강대교 지점의 순수 유출성분과 조위성분의 유량을 각각 예측한 후 두 결과를 합성하여 최종 한강 대교 지점의 유량을 산정하였다. 조석성분을 분리하여 한강대교 지점의 유량을 예측한 결과 대부분의 예측치가 95% 예측구간에 포함되었다. 그리고 조석성분을 분리하지 않은 모형과 조석성분을 분리한 모형의 예측 능력을 비교한 결과, 조석성분을 분리한 모형이 예측이 정확도가 높았다. RMSE의 경우 분리하지 않은 모형대비 23%의 예측오차가 감소하였고, NSC의 경우 0.92에서 0.95로 예측의 정확도가 증가하였다.

전자펌프(Electromagnetic)는 액체금속의 도전성을 이용하는 것으로 종래의 기계식에 비해 회전부가 없고 기밀을 요하는 패킹장치 등이 없어 보수가 필요없을 뿐 아니라 동작시 유도전압 조정기를 이용하여 유량제어를 쉽게 할 수 있는 등 많은 장점이 있다. 따라서 신뢰성과 안전성이 요구되는 고속증식로, 인공위성과 같이 액체금속을 냉각재로 사용한는 시스템의 펌프에는 물론 알루미늄, 납, 수은 등과 같이 산업계에서 많이 쓰이는 용융금속의 수송에도 대단히 중요한 장치이다. 그러나 전자펌프는 구조상 2차측(액체금속)과 펌프닥트등에서의 손실이 대단히 클 뿐 아니라 전자펌프의 이용 특성상 높은 온도에서 사용해야 하므로 절연 및 내열재료 특성에도 아직 연구되어야 할 과제가 많다. 본 난에서는 이러한 관점에 입각하여 전자펌프의 기본원리를 기술하고 국내외의 연구현황 및 전망을 고찰하여 보고자 한다.

The transient nature and complex geometries of two-phase gas-liquid flows cause fundamental difficulties when measuring flow velocity using an electromagnetic flowmeter. Recently, a current-sensing flowmeter was introduced to obtain measurements with high temporal resolution (Ahn et al.). In this study, current-sensing flowmeter theory was applied to measure the fast velocity transients in slug flows. The velocity fields of axisymmetric gas-liquid slug flow in a vertical pipe were obtained using Volume-of-Fluid (VOF) method, and the virtual potential distributions for the electrodes of finite size were also computed using the finite volume method for simulating slug flow. The output signal prediction for slug flow was carried out from the velocity and virtual potential (or weight function) fields. The flowmeter was numerically calibrated to obtain the cross-sectional liquid mean velocity at an electrode plane from the predicted output signal. Two calibration parameters are proposed for this procedure: a flow pattern coefficient and a localization parameter. The flow pattern coefficient was defined by the ratio of the liquid resistance between the electrodes for two-phase flow with respect to that for single-phase flow, and the localization parameter was introduced to avoid errors in the flowmeter readings caused by liquid acceleration or deceleration around the electrodes. These parameters were also calculated from the computed velocity and virtual potential fields. The results can be used to obtain the liquid mean velocity from the slug flow signal measured by a current-sensing flowmeter.

The theory of the current-type electromagnetic flowmeter for a high temporal resolution was developed for two-phase flow measurements. To predict the output of the current-type flowmeter, the three-dimensional virtual potential distribution C and the newly introduced flow pattern coefficient f were derived and computed. The output of flowmeter depends on the liquid conductivity (sensitive to temperature) and flow configurations of the two-phase flow with the sinusoidal excitation over 100 Hz. The flow pattern coefficient was specially devised to separate the dependency on the flow configuration of the two-phase flow from that on the liquid conductivity which can be expressed with the calibration of single-phase flow. Using the finite difference method, the three-dimensional virtual potential distributions were computed for the electrode of finite size. By taking derivative of the virtual potential, the weight functions were evaluated and compared with existing analytic series solution for the point-electrode. There was a reasonable correspondence between the present and existing results. In addition, the flow pattern coefficients were evaluated for annular flows with various film thicknesses, and compared with the experimental results by the impedance spectroscopy. The numerical results agreed well with the experimental data.

In this paper, we have developed a differential pressure flow sensor designed as a single capacitive type. And the sensor was fabricated using a MEMS process. Differential pressure flow sensors are the most commonly used sensors for industrial applications. The sensing diaphragm and bonding joint of the MEMS pressure sensor are easily broken at high pressure. In this paper, we proposed a structure in which the diaphragm of the sensor was not broken at a pressure exceeding the proof pressure, and the differential pressure sensor was designed and manufactured accordingly. The operating characteristics of the sensor were evaluated at a pressure three times higher than the sensor operating pressure (0-3 bar). The developed sensor was $3.0{\times}3.0mm$ and measured with a LCR meter (HP 4284a) at a pressure between 0 and 3 bar. It showed 3.67 pF at 0 bar and 5.13 pF at 3 bar. The sensor operating pressure (0-3 bar) developed a pressure sensor with hysteresis of 0.37%.

Nano composite particles were synthesized from a bulk ZrVFe alloy ingot by transferred DC thermal plasma. Effects of plasma gas flow rate on the characteristics of the produced nano composite particles were investigated. The characteristics of the synthesized powder were analyzed by field scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), light scattering particle size analyzer (PSA), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area analyzer. As the flow rate of plasma gas increased from 20 L/min to 40 L/min, the average particle size decreased from 91 nm to 55 nm, the particle size distribution became narrower, the surface area increased from $200\;m^2/g$ to $255\;m^2/g$, the particle composition was nearly unaffected, and the particle crystallinity was improved.

A total of 486 milk records were collected from 16 diary farms in Imsil-gun, Jeollabuk-do. Results obtained were as follows: The average 3MG (amount of milk within the first three minute) was 7.44 kg and 55% of total milk yield was produced within 3 min. The average of SPL (% of foam in milk) was 33.93% and the average of MNG (strip yield) was 0.14 kg, which was less than 1% of total milk yield. The averages of HMF (highest milk flow), HMG (maximum milk flow rate in one minute) and DMHG (average milk flow in the main milking phase) were 3.03 kg/min, 2.94 kg/min and 2.05 kg/min, respectively and the average milking speed in Imsil-gun was slower than other regions. The average of tS500(time to reach 0.5 kg/min at beginning) was 0.23min (about 14 seconds) and that of tMGG (duration of the total milking) was 7.75min. The average tMBG (duration of the dry milking phase) was 0.58 min (35 seconds) and that of tMNG (duration of the stripping phase) was 0.42min (14 seconds). The averages of ELHMF (electrical conductivity at highest milk flow) and ELAP (beginning peak level of the electrical conductivity) were 6.81 mS/cm and 7.58 mS/cm, respectively. The average of ELMAX (maximum electrical conductivity) was 7.48 mS/cm and that of ELAD (beginning peak difference of the electrical conductivity) was 0.61 mS/cm. While the total milk yields for DMHG, tMHG (duration of the main milking phase), tPL (duration of the plateau phase), tAB (duration of the descending phase) and tMGG were positively correlated (0.35~0.54), those for tMBG and SPL were negatively correlated (-0.11 and -0.27). As the DMHG increased, tMHG, tPL, tAB, tMGG and SPL decreased. While the cows with higher electrical conductivity at the beginning of milking had less somatic cell counts, cows with higher electrical conductivity after the peak of milk yield had more somatic cell counts. The results of this experiment indicated that through milking based on milking and lactating standards and the regular checking of milking status, the qualities of milk and milk yields could be improved.
