지하에 매설된 도시가스 배관에서의 누출 가스에 대한 확산 거동을 관찰하기 위하여 지중 확산실험조를 제작하여 실험하였다. 실험조는 도시가스 공급위치와 농도의 측정위치를 변화시킬 수 있도록 acryl로 제작하였으며, MOS 센서를 이용하여 도시가스 농도를 측정하였다. 가스의 지하 확산을 측정하기 위한 토질로서 주문진 표준사와 화강풍화토를 이용하였으며, 가스누출 속도 변화에 따른 도시가스 농도 변화를 시간에 따라 측정하였다. 누출점으로부터 센서의 측정위치가 가까울수록 또는 누출 속도가 증가할수록 가스의 감지시간이 감소하였으며, 누출가스 농도의 빠른 증가로 인하여 정상상태시 높은 농도를 나타내었다. 또한, 주문진 표준사보다 다짐에 의해 밀도가 증가한 화강풍화토에서 초기에 농도가 낮게 측정되었으나, 시간이 지남에 따라 농도가 높게 나타났다.

본 논문에서는 가스 파이프라인 내의 누출 현상이 파이프라인 출구 압력 변화에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 경사진 지형적 영향을 고려하기 위하여, 보정된 Weymouth 식이 본 연구에서 사용되었다. 누출 영향을 분석하기 위하여, 수평관, 상향 및 하향 경사관 각각에서 누출 현상이 없을 경우와 누출 현상이 발생할 경우에 대하여 출구 압력과 입구 압력에 대한 출구 압력 비율을 비교하였다. 그 후, 누출 위치가 출구 압력에 미치는 영향에 대하여도 모든 파이프라인 경사각에 대하여 분석하였다.

Detection of gas leak from a tube is a very important issue in the quality control of machines such as the heat exchanger of an air-conditioner, because leakage of operating gas directly reduces the performance of machines. The acoustic emission (AE) method is a common way to detect leak of gas, however its application under the environment of mechanical vibration is restricted since most AE detectors are very sensitive to external vibration noise. In order to overcome this problem, we propose a method based on the mode analysis of the Lamb wave. In this method, the dominant Lamb mode and its frequency are found first, and then a proper band-pass filter is used to retain only this frequency component. In this way, we could improve the SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) of AE signal generated by gas leak from the tube even under vibratory environment.

In order to prevent major and chemical accidents, some of the plants which would like to install and operate hazard chemicals handling facilities must submit Off-site Consequence Analysis due to recent arisen leak accidents since 2015. A lot of chemical industrials choose gas detectors as mitigation equipment to early detect gas vapor. The way of placement of gas detectors has two methods; Code-based Design(CBD) and Performance-based Design. The CBD has principles for gas detectors to be installed with consideration for the place that is expected to accumulate gas, and the leak locations according to legal standards and technical guidelines, and has a possibility to be unable to detect by these rules to locate gas detectors by vapor density information. The PBD has two methods; a Geographic Method and Scenario based Method. The Scenario-based Method has been suggested to make up for the Geographic Coverage Method. This Scenario-based Method draw the best optimum placement of gas detectors by considering leak locations, leak speed information, leak directions and etc. However, the domestic placement guidelines just refers to the CBD. Therefore, this study is to compare existing placement location of gas detectors by the domestic CBD with placement locations, coverages and the number of gas detectors in accordance with the Scenario-based Method. Also this study has measures for early detecting interest of Vapor Cloud and suitable placement of gas detectors to prevent chemical accidents. The Phast software was selected to simulate vapor cloud dispersion to predict the consequence. There are two cases; an accident hole size of leak(8 mm) from API which is the highst accident hole size less than 24.5 mm, and a normal leak hole size from KOSHA Guide (1.8 mm). Detect3D was also selected to locate gas detectors efficiently and compare CBD results and PBD results. Currently, domestic methods of gas detectors do not consider any risk, but just depend on domestic code methods which lead to placement of gas detectors not to make personnels recognize tolerable or intolerable risks. The results of the Scenario-based Method, however, analyze the leak estimated range by simulating leak dispersion, and then it is able to tell tolerable risks. Thus it is considered that individuals will be able to place gas detectors reasonably by making objectives and roles flexibly according to situations in a specific plant.

Car acceleration or deceleration induce the surface slope of liquid fuel in the LNG tank. Slope changes the surface area wetted by liquid fuel in the tank and consequently heat leak to the tank. The Fortran program, 'Pro-Heatleak', is developed to evaluate heat leak on LNG tank. The verification test proves the high accuracy of the developed program. The difference between MathCad and computational results is less than 0.07 %. Computational analyses of heat leak are carried out for 10 gallons and 20 gallons of fuel vapor in the tank. With the increasing of fuel vapor volume by 10 percent the wetted surface area and heat leak respectively decrease by 13 percent. The difference between maximum and minimum heat leak is about 10 percent for both 10 gallons and 20 gallons of fuel vapor in the tank.

LNG is a valuable fuel since it offers some environmental, energy security and economic benefits over diesel. It could be used mainly in heavy-duty trucks and buses. Car acceleration induces the slope angle of the liquid fuel in the tank. Slope angle changes the surface area wetted by liquid fuel and consequently heat leak to the tank. This research is a result of numerical simulation of the heat leak with the car acceleration to LNG tank. The "Pro-HeatLeak" Fortran program is developed and the verification test of the developed program is done. The difference between numerical results and calculated results from MathCad verification test is less than 0.07 percent. The smallest heat leak is correspond to the case without oscillation. For the high car acceleration the value of heat leak is greater than that for the small acceleration. The difference between maximum and minimum heat leak for 10 gallons of fuel vapor in the tank is about 10 percent.

In-situ optical emission spectroscopy (OES) is employed for leak detection in plasma etching system. A misprocessing is reported for significantly reduced silicon etch rate with chlorine gas, and OES is used as a supplementary sensor to analyze the gas phase species that reside in the process chamber. Potential cause of misprocessing reaches to chamber O-ring wear out, MFC leaks, and/or leak at gas delivery line, and experiments are performed to funnel down the potential of the cause. While monitoring the plasma chemistry of the process chamber using OES, the emission trace for nitrogen species is observed at the chlorine gas supply. No trace of nitrogen species is found in other than chlorine gas supply, and we found that the amount of chlorine gas is slightly fluctuating. We successfully found the root cause of the reported misprocessing which may jeopardize the quality of thin film processing. Based on a quantitative analysis of the amount of nitrogen observed in the chamber, we conclude that the source of the leak is the fitting of the chlorine mass flow controller with the amount of around 2-5 sccm.

반도체 제조에 사용하는 특수가스를 공급하는 설비는 인화성·독성·부식성을 지닌 유해·위험물질을 주로 취급하는데, 이러한 공급설비로는 주로 가스캐비닛이 사용되고 있다. 가스캐비닛 내 파열판을 통한 누출, 누출 개구부의 확대가 가능한 누출, 누출 개구부가 확대되지 않는 누출의 케이스별로 공급장치 내부 상태 및 외부로의 확산 영향을 누출 원인별로 분석하였다. 이 경우 누출 단면적에 따라 공급장치 외부로 가스가 누출되는 경우가 발생함을 확인하였다. 외부로 누출되는 가스의 농도에 따라 폭발분위기 형성 등 위험성이 존재하는 요인으로 작용하며, 위험에 따라 공급설비의 안전운전절차 등 제반 조치사항을 다시 검토할 필요가 있음을 확인하였다.

지하 매설배관을 이용한 유체 수송 중 임의의 배관 위치에서 누설이 발생할 경우 육안 식별의 어려움으로 진동 센서 등을 이용하여 누설 위치를 탐지한다. 이러한 누설 위치 검출 시스템은 물과 같은 비 압축성 유체를 대상으로 센서 간의 신호 도달 시간차와 음파의 전파속도를 이용하여 검출하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 가스와 같은 압축성 유체의 누설 검출을 위한 시스템을 개발하고자 기존 검출 방법을 검토하고, 온도와 압력을 고려한 압축성 유체의 전파속도 식을 개선하고 압축 공기를 이용한 실험 장치를 구축하여 실험 수행을 통해 검증하였다. 검증 결과 매설배관 내 압축성 유체의 누설 위치 검출이 가능함을 확인하였으며, 가스 수송용 매설배관 내 누설 위치 검출 시스템 개발에 적용 가능함을 확인하였다.

This paper presents an approach to leak detection and location of gas pipelines based on a strong tracking filter(STF). The STF has strong robustness against model uncertainties, which will deteriorate the performance of the extended Kalman filter. Hence, much faster and more accurate leak detection and location has been obtained. Computer simulation results demonstrate the effective-ness of the proposed approach.
