As part of the SOC digitization for smart water management and flood prevention, the government reported that automatic and remote control system for drainage facilities (180 billion won) to 57% of national rivers and established a real-time monitoring system (30 billion won). In addition, they were also planning to establish a smart dam safety management system (15 billion won) based on big data at 11 regions. Therefore, research is needed for smart water management and flood prevention system that can accurately calculate the flow rate through real-time flow rate measurement of rivers. In particular, the most important thing to improve the system implementation and accuracy is to ensure the accuracy of real-time flow rate measurements. To this end, radar sensors for measuring the flow rate of electromagnetic waves in the United States and Europe have been introduced and applied to the system in Korea, but demand for improvement of the system continues due to high price range and performance. Consequently, we would like to propose an improved flow rate measurement and flood forecast system by developing a radar sensor for measuring the electromagnetic surface current meter for real-time flow rate measurement.

A mass flow controller(MFC) is commonly used in the semiconductor industries to control the flow rate of various process gases. The measurement and precise control of the of flow rate the gas are the key for a succesful IC fabrication. To eventually design a reliable MFC, a pre-proto type MFC was built and its flow characteristics were investigated. Most of the functional components of the pre-proto type were built for the present study, but the remainder were adopted from a commercial unit. The flow control characteristics were compared with that of a standard MFC. Major dimensions of an MFC for 0-10 SLM capacity were suggested.

An in vitro steady flow experiment was performed in order to test the accuracy of velocity measurement obtained through a pulsed Doppler echocardiography. A flow phantom was designed for the use in a wide velocity range at a given flow rate. The results showed that the pulsed Doppler velocity measurement obtained in this flow phantom is accurate at low flow rates. However, ultrasound velocity measurement should be performed under a careful considerations of PRF and Doppler gain settings, especially at higher flow rates.

Inspection of RCS flow measurements for the domestic pressurized water reactors has been performed by the Korea Institute of Nuclear Safety (KINS) as one of the authorized periodical inspection activities. The inspection results for the Westinghouse-type plants reveal that 1) the RCS flow instrumentation has been calibrated by using the initial design and commissioning test result, without reflecting the cycle specific reference flow measurements, 2) the loop-to-loop now variation in the actual flow measurement which has not been considered in the safety analysis affects the asymmetric How transient results, and 3) the measured RCS flows in Kori 3 and 4, Yonggwang 1 and 2 do not support the definition of the best estimate RCS flow, approaching the RCS flow limit. In this study, the revealed problems were discussed with review of the design and the RCS flow measurement uncertainty evaluation, and the technical approaches and recommendations for resolving these problems were proposed.

In this paper the design and test results of a dynamic flow rate sensor was reported. This sensor comprises an 2-way cartridge valve as standard hydraulic component and a displacement sensor. Its working principle bases on the linear relationship between the flow rate and the piston displacement of 2-way cartridge valves under constant pressure drop. This principle is well known, however it is not easy to develop a flow rate sensor with the measurement range of 300 1/min, pressure loss of less than 8 bar at 300 1/min, maximum linearity error of less than $\pm$1% and the maximum rising time of 10 ms. This paper describes the design procedure of the flow rate sensor, the improvement procedure of static performance and test method and results of dynamic performance.

Flow characteristics of differential pressure flow meters which have a shape of triangular separate bar (TSB) was investigated according to the machining conditions in pressure tapping holes. Diameter of the pressure taping holes is either 1.0 mm or 1.5 mm. Also, number of the pressure tapping holes are drilled either 9 or 17. The mass flow rate of the TSB flow meters are calibrated with a laminar flow meter by connecting them in line. The mass flow rate in the TSB flow meters are plotted with a non-dimensional parameter H which includes the gas temperature, exhaust gas pressure and differential pressure at the flow meters. An empirical correlation between the mass flow rate at the TSB flow meter and the non-dimensional parameter H was obtained. The empirical correlation showed highly linear relationship between the mass flow rate and the non-dimensional parameter H. The hole size of the pressure tapping holes has a bigger effect on the flow rate than the number of the tapping holes.

The objective of experimental study is to apply simultaneous measurement by PIV(Particle Image Velocimetry) to high_speed flow characteristics within ginseng cleaner model. Three different kinds of flow rate(15. 20, 27l/min) are selected as experimental condition. Optimized cross correlation identification to obtain velocity distribution, time-mean velocity distribution, velocity, profile, kinetic energy and turbulence intensity are represented quantitatively for the deeped understanding of the flow characteristics in a ginseng cleaner model.

This study presents an experimental work in a petrochemical company for scanning a buried pipeline using $Tc^{99m}$ radiotracer based on the measured velocity changes, in order to determine the flow reduction along a pipeline. In this work, $Tc^{99m}$ radiotracer was injected into the pipeline and monitored by sodium iodide scintillation detectors located at several positions along the pipeline. The flow velocity has been calculated between every two consecutive detectors along the pipeline. Practically, six experiments have been carried out using two different data acquisition systems, each of them being connected to four detectors. During the fifth experiment, a bypass was discovered between the scanned pipeline and another buried parallel pipeline connected after the injection point. The results indicate that the bypass had a bad effect on the volumetric flow rate in the scanned pipeline.

The purpose of this study is to identify factors affecting picture quality in Roadmap images, which were studied by varying the dilution rate, collimation field and flow rate of contrast medium. For a quantitative evaluation of the quality of the picture, a 3mm vessel model Water Phantom was self-produced using acrylic, a roadmap image was acquired with a self-produced vascular model Water Phantom, and the SNR(Signal to Noise Ratio) and CNR (Contrast to Noise Ratio) were analyzed. CM:N/S In the study on the change of dilution rate, CM:N/S dilution rate changed to (100%~10%:100%), and the measurement of the roadmap image taken using the vascular model Water Phantom showed that the measurement value of SNR gradually decreased as the N/S dilution rate was increased, and the measurement of CNR was gradually reduced. It was confirmed that the higher the dilution rate of CM:N/S, the lower the SNR and CNR, and also significant image can be obtained at the dilution rate of CM:N/S (100%~70:30%). The study showed the value of SNR and CNR in Roadmap image was increased as the Collimation Field was narrowed to the center of the vascular phantom; the Collimation Field was narrowed to the center of the vessel model by 2cm intervals to 0cm through 12cm. To verify the relationship with Roadmap image and Flow Rate, volume of the autoinjector was kept constant at 15 and the flow rate was gradually increased 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. The value of SNR and CNR of images taken by using water Phantom gradually decreased as the Flow Rate increased, but at Flow Rate 9 and 10, the SNR and CNR value was increase. It was not possible to confirm the relationship with SNR and CNR by ROI mean value and Background mean value. It is considered that further study is needed to evaluate the correlation about Roadmap image and Flow Rate. In conclusion, as the dilution rate of N/S in contrast medium was increased, the value of SNR and CNR was decreased. The narrower the Collimation Field, the higher image quality by increasing value of SNR and CNR. However, it is not confirmed the relationship Roadmap image and Flow Rate. It is considered that appropriate contrast medium concentration to minimize the effects of kidney and proper Collimation Field to improve contrast of image and reduce exposure X-ray during procedure is needed.
