Hazardous area classification is designed to prevent chemical plant explosions in advance. Generally, the duration of the explosive atmosphere is used for zone type classification. Herein, IEC code, a quantitative zone type classification methodology, was used to achieve Zone 2 NE, which indicates a practical non-explosion condition. This study analyzed the operating pressure of a vessel handling propane to achieve Zone 2 NE by applying the IEC code via MATLAB. The resulting zone type and hazardous area grades were compared with the results from other design standards, namely API and EI codes. According to the IEC code, the operating pressure of vessels handling propane should be between 101325-116560.59 Pa. In contrast, the zone type classification criteria used by API and EI codes are abstract. Therefore, since these codes could interpret excessively explosive atmospheres, care is required while using them for hazardous area classification design.

동맥경화는 혈관 안에서 콜레스테롤의 침착 때문에 혈관이 좁아지거나, 딱딱해 지거나, 두꺼워 지게 되는데, 이런 현상이 심해지게 되면 동맥은 단단해져서 혈액이 원활히 통과하지 못하게 되고 심하면 사망 까지 이르게 되는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 복대동맥에서의 동맥경화가 진행되는 것을 탄성 혈관 일 때와 강성 혈관 일 때 각각 협착률이 혈관 직경의 20과 45%로 설정하고 속도와 압력 변화를 살펴보기 위하여 유한 요소 해석을 이용하여 모델링을 하였다. 혈관이 탄성 혈관일 때 속도와 압력 값은 협착률이 혈관 직경의 20%일 때 보다 45%일 때 더 높게 나타났으며, 강성 혈관에서 속도와 압력 값은 협착률이 혈관 직경의 20%일 때보다 45%에서 더 높았다. 협착률이 혈관 직경의 20과 45%인 탄성 혈관에서 재순환영역이 나타났다. 본 연구결과 혈관 협착에 따른 혈류역학적 특징을 이해하는데 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다.

In order to develop ASTM A302 grade C type steel plate with excellent weldability, several steels with different chemistry have been manufactured and evaluated their mechanical properties and weldability. Trial A302-C steels have revealed tensile strength in the range of $61-67kg/mm^2$ and elongation in the range of $27{\sim}32%$, depending on chemical compositions within the ASTM specification range. In case of impact toughness, trial steels showed in the range of 58-70J at $0^{\circ}C$. From the weldability test, the minimum preheat temperature was found to be about $150^{\circ}C$, and automatic welding condition satisfied the requirements of both ASTM specification and users.

Many pressure vessels for the hot H$\sub$2//H$\sub$2/S service are made of 2+1/4Cr-1Mo steel with austenitic stainless steel overlay to combat agressive corrosion due to hydrogen sulfide. Hydrogen dissolves in to materials during operation, and sometimes gives rise to unfore-seeable damages. Appropriate precautions must, therefore, be taken to avoid the hydrogen induced damages in the design, fabrication and operation stage of such reactor vessels. Recently, hydrogeninduced cracking (or Disbonding) was found at the interface between base metal and stainless weld overlay of a desulfurizing reactor. Since the stainless steel overlay weld metal is subjected to thermal and internal-pressure loads in reactor operation, it is desirable for the overlay weld metal to have high strength and ductility from the stand point of structural safety. In section III of ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Post-Weld Heat Treatment(PWHT) of more than one hour per inch at over 1100.deg. F(593.deg. C) is required for the weld joints of low alloy pressure vessel steels. This heat treatment to relieve stresses in the welded joint during construction of the pressure vessel is considered to cause sensitization of the overlay weld metal. The present study was carried out to make clear the diffusion of carbon migration by PWHT in dissimilar metal welded joint. The main conclusion reached from this study are as follows: 1) The theoretical analysis for diffusion of carbon in stainless steel overlay weld metal does not agree with Fick's 2nd law but the general law of molecular diffusion phenomenon by thermodynamic chemical potential. 2) In the stainless steel overlay welded joint, the PWHT at 720.deg. C for 10 hours causes a diffusion of carbon atoms from ferritic steel into austenitic steel according to the theoretical analysis for carbon migration and its experiment. 3) In case of PWHT at 720.deg. C for 10 hours, the micro-hardness of stainless steel weld metal in bonded zone increase very highly in the carburized layer with remarkable hardening than that of weld metal.

After examining the characteristics of the heat decomposition of the 80~120mesh flour using the Mini cup pressure vessel test and determining the apparent activation energy in a spontaneous combustion, the conclusion is as follows. The heat decomposition of flour occurs at around $100^{\circ}C$ and the peak for the maximum rise in pressure appears at around $290^{\circ}C$. The decomposition pressure against various temperature in the vessel shows the maximum value of $4.7kg/cm^2$ approximately at $440^{\circ}C$. When the thickness of the sample is 3cm, the maximum temperature and the critical temperature of ignition are $398^{\circ}C$ and $204.5^{\circ}C$, respectively; the critical temperature is $194.5^{\circ}C$ when the thickness of the sample is 5cm, and $182.5^{\circ}C$ when the sample is 7cm. In addition, the apparent velocity calculated using the method of least squares is 35.0407Kcal/mol.

A flexible Packaging scheme, which embedded chip packaging, has been developed using a thinned silicon chip. Mechanical characteristics of thinned silicon chips are examined by bending test and finite element analysis. Thinned silicon chips ($t<50{\mu}m$) are fabricated by chemical etching process to avoid possible surface damages on them. These technologies can be use for a real-time monitoring of blood pressure. Our research targets are implantable blood pressure sensor and its telemetric measurement. By winding round the coronary arteries, we can measure the blood pressure by capacitance variation of blood vessel.

One of the technical methods to increase the volumetric energy density of hydrogen is to pressurize the gaseous hydrogen and then contain it in a rigid vessel. Especially for automotive systems, the compressed hydrogen storage can be found in cars as well as at refueling stations. During the charging the pressurized hydrogen into a vessel, the temperature increases with the amount of stored hydrogen in the vessel. The temperature of the vessel should be controlled to be less than a limitation for ensure stability of material. Therefore, the accurate estimation of temperature is of significance for safely storing the hydrogen. In this work, three well-known cubic equations of state (EOSs) were adopted to examine the accuracy in regenerating thermodynamic properties of hydrogen within the temperature and pressure ranges for the compressed hydrogen storage. The formulations representing molar volume, internal energy, enthalpy, and entropy were derived for Redlich-Kwong (RK), Soave-Redlioch-Kwong (SRK), and Peng-Robinson (PR) EOSs. The calculated results using the EOSs were compared with literature data given by NIST. It was revealed that the accuracies of RK and SRK EOSs were satisfactorily compatible and better than the results by PR EOS.

Pressure vessels in vehicle industries, power plants, and chemical industries are often affected by flaw and defect generated inside the pressure vessels due to production processes or being used. It is very important to detect such internal defects of pressure vessel because they sometimes bring out serious problems. In this paper, an optical defect detection method using digital shearography is used. This method has advantages that the inspection can be performed at a real time measurement and is less sensitive to environmental noise. Shearography is a laser-based technique for full-field, non-contacting measurement of surface deformation (displacement or strain). The ultimate goal of this paper is to detect flaws in pressure vessels and to measure the lengths of the flaws by using unwrapping, phase images which are only obtained by Phase map. Through this method, we could decrease post-processing (next processing). Real length of a pixel can be calculated by comparing minimum and maximum unwrapping images with shearing angle. Through measuring several specimen defects which have different lengths and depths of defect, it can be possible to interpret quantitatively by calculating gray level.

석유화학플랜트에서 다량 부산되는 가연성 고체인 PP(Polypropylene) 및 LLDPE(Linear low density polyethylene)의 열적특성과 압력용기를 이용하여 산화제와의 혼촉위험성을 조사하였다. 시차주사열량계 및 열중량 분석기를 이용하여 온도에 따른 발열개시온도 및 중량감소를 조사하였고, PP 및 LLDPE의 혼촉위험성을 살펴보고자 소방법상 제1류 위험물로 분류되고 있는 몇 가지 대표적인 산화성 고체와 혼합하여 무게비에 따른 압력용기 내에서의 혼촉위험성을 조사하였다. 또한 가스농도 측정기를 이용하여 PP 및 LLDPE에 대한 연소생성물의 농도를 측정하였다. DSC분석 결과 열분해에 따른 발열 피크가 PP의 경우 220~$250^{\circ}c$ 부근에서 나타나고 있으며, TGA분석결과 PP 및 LLDPE의 분해온도는 각각 200~$350^{\circ}c$, 300~$500^{\circ}c$ 범위이다. 압력용기 시험에 의한 산화제와 PP 및 LLDPE 분진의 혼촉위험성은 오리피스 직경이 감소할수록, 산화제와의 혼촉 무게비가 증가할수록 그리고 시료의 분해온도와 산화제의 분해온도가 비슷한 경우 흔촉위험성이 크게 나타났다. 또한 시료의 연소가스 분석결과 PP의 경우 LLDPE보다 상당히 많은 양의 일 산화탄소가 발생하는 반면 LLDPE가 PP보다 더 많은 양의 이산화탄소 가스를 발생하였다.
