A subscale gas generator was designed and manufactured to investigate the effect of design parameters on discharge coefficients of injectors for a 75 ton-class gas generator and hot-firing tests were successfully performed. The test results showed that discharge coefficients of fuel and liquid oxygen injectors remained nearly constant irrespective of variations of a mixture ratio and a chamber pressure. When the post diameter of the liquid oxygen injector was reduced, the discharge coefficient was increased as the pressure drop of the injector was decreased.

Computational work using the axisymmetric, compressible, Navier-Stokes Equations is carried out to predict the discharge coefficient of mass flow through a micro-critical nozzle. Several kinds of turbulence models and wall functions are employed to validate the computational predictions. The computed results are compared with the previous experimented ones. The present computations predict the experimental discharge coefficients with a reasonable accuracy. It is found that the standard $\kappa$-$\varepsilon$turbulence model with the standard wall function gives a best prediction of the discharge coefficients. The displacement thickness of the nozzle wall boundary layer is evaluated at the nozzle throat and is well compared to a prediction obtained by an empirical equation. The resulting displacement thickness of the wall boundary layer is about 2% to 0.6% of the diameter of the nozzle throat for the Reynolds numbers of 2000 to 20000.

In this papers, we proposed the new method in order to diagnosis partial discharge type of transformers. For wavelet transform, Daubechie's filter is used,, we can obtain wavelet coefficients which is used to extract featrue of statistical parameters(maximum value, average value, dispersion, skewness, kurtosis) about high frequency current signal per 3-electrode type(needle-plane electrode, IEC electrode and Void electrode). Also, these coefficients are used to identify signal of internal partial discharge in transformer. As a result, from compare of high frequency current signal amplitude and average value, we are obtained results of IEC electrode> Void electrode> Needle-Plane electrode. Otherwise, in case of skewness and kurtosis, we are obtained results of Void electrode> IEC electrode> Needle-Plane electrode. As improved method in order to diagnosis partial discharge type of transformers, we use neural network.

Variability in precipitation due to climate change causes difficulties in securing stable surface water resource, which requires understanding of relation between precipitation and stream discharge. This study simulated stream discharge in a small mountainous forested catchment using antecedent precipitation index (API) models which represent variability of saturation conditions of soil layers depending on rainfall events. During 13 months from May 2015 to May 2016, stream discharge and rainfall were measured at the outlet and in the central part of the watershed, respectively. Several API models with average recession coefficients were applied to predict stream discharge using measured rainfall, which resulted in the best reflection time for API model was 1 day in terms of predictability of stream discharge. This indicates that soil water in riparian zones has fast response to rainfall events and its storage is relatively small. The model can be improved by employing seasonal recession coefficients which can consider seasonal fluctuation of hydrological parameters. These results showed API models can be useful to evaluate variability of streamflow in ungauged small forested watersheds in that stream discharge can be simulated using only rainfall data.

The effect of rotation on the discharge coefficient of orifices with various length-to-diameter ratios and two different inlet corner radii was studied. Length-to-diameter ratios of the orifices range from 0.2 to 10, while the inlet shapes are square edged, or round edges of radius-to-diameter ratio of 0.5. From the experiment, we found that rotational discharge coefficient and Rotation number, when based on ideal exit velocity of the orifice considering momentum transfer from the rotor, describe the effect of rotation very well. In this study, the discharge coefficients of rotating orifices are shown to behave similar to those of the well-known non-rotating orifices. For both rotating and non-rotating orifices, the discharge coefficients increase with the length-to-diameter ratio until a maximum is reached. The flow reattachments in the relatively short orifices are responsible for the increase. The coefficient then decreases with the length-to-diameter ratio due to the friction loss along the orifice bore. The length-to-diameter ratio that yields maximum discharge coefficient, however, increases with the Rotation number because the increased flow-approaching angle requires larger length-to-diameter ratio for complete reattachment. The length-to-diameter ratio for complete reattachment is shorter for round edged orifices than that of square edged orifices by about a unit length-to-diameter ratio.

This study is investigating experimentally the effect of upstream Froude number, weir height, weir length, and main channel width on the discharge coefficient of rectangular sharp crested side-weirs under subcritical flow conditions in a relatively wide rectangular open channel based on the De Marchi discharge coefficient $C_M$. The effects of four main influential parameters found by dimensional analysis, $Fr_1$, $h/y_1$, L/B, and $L/y_1$ are examined by the flume tests. New estimated equations for the discharge coefficients of sharp-crested side-weir are suggested based on the experimental results. The effect of $Fr_1$ for the discharge coefficient of sharp crested side weir is decreased in wide open channel and the relative importance of other influential parameters like $h/y_1$, L/B, and $L/y_1$ are increased. Also, the experimental results are compared with the results of other studies to extend the applicability of pre-suggested formulas for sharp-crested side-weir discharge coefficient.

The realistic discharge coefficient for the critical How model of RELAP5/AOD3/KAERI are determined for the subcooled and too-phase critical flow by assessments of nine MARVIKEN Critical flew Test(CFT). The selected test runs include a high initial subcooling and large nozzle aspect rat-io(L/D). The code assessment results show that RELAP5/MOD3/KAERI over-predicts the subcooled critical flow and under-predicts the two-phase critical flow. Using these result, the realistic discharge coefficients of critical flow models are quantified by an iterative method. The realistic discharge coefficients are determined to be 0.89 for the subcooled critical How and 1.07 for the two-phase critical flow, and the associated standard deviations are 0.0349 and 0.1189, respectively. The results obtained from this study can be applied to calculate the realistic system response of Large Break Loss of Coolant Accident and to evaluate the realistic Emergency Core Cooling System performance.

Main causes of algal bloom was studied in Paldang reservoir. Statistical approach was tried using meteorological and water quality data. Algae alert system showed that more than ten days were counted in a year, once it happened in Paldang reservoir. Alert dates increased in recent 5 years. Correlation coefficients between chlorophyll-a and other indexes did not showed strong relations resulting in coefficients less than 0.4. Among them, sunshine duration, BOD, and flow rate were appeared relatively main causes of algal blooming. Sunshine duration and BOD showed positive relation while flow rate did negative one, which is resonable for photosynthetic microorganisms. Water temperature and total phosphorus, which were presumed probable main causes before study, resulted in low correlation coefficients. Correlation coefficients between discharge flow and rainfall, water temperature showed positive relation due to seasonal effect.

On-line monitoring of fault discharge is an important approach for indicating the condition of electrical insulation of stator winding in high voltage motor. In this paper, several key aspects of on-line monitoring system are discussed, involving the characteristics of fault discharge of stator winding in high voltage motor, spectrum analysis of four simulation fault signals, feature extraction of internal fault discharge from apply voltage to breakdown. The study of the partial discharge activities allows to highlight the ageing stage in the winding fault under test. During the life of the winding insulation fault, the shape of PD signal change relating to the ageing stage. The ageing of stator winding insulation fault of high voltage motor is investigated based on the characteristics of partial discharge pulse distribution and statistical parameters, such as maximum, skewness and kurtosis using discrete wavelet transform coefficients.

The safety valve used in LNG/LNG-FPSO ships plays an important role in maintaining a fixed level of pressure by emitting LNG gas out of the pipes in the LNG piping system. The discharge coefficient is regarded as the most important factor in the valve performance. To satisfy the ship's classification, the discharge coefficient of the safety valve must usually be over 0.8. Despite the importance of understanding the flow phenomena inside the safety valve, the valve design is usually based on experience and experiments. We carried out a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) investigation using the ANSYS-CFX software. We observed the flow phenomena inside the valve and measured the discharge coefficients according to changes in the valve lift, which is the distance between the exit of the nozzle and the lower part of the disc plate. We verified our CFD results for the discharge coefficients using available experimental data.
