In generally, under the influence of over-pressure drop, serious problems such as cavitation, choked flow, flashing and vibration has been coming around the tilting disk check valve. A PIV experiment to examine the cause of energy loss has been performed and the improvement configuration of valve seat based on this visualization results is proposed. In the visualization results, flows in the piping system became instability under the influence of the shape of boss. This unstable flows induces sudden pressure drop in the piping system. So, we change the configuration of boss as a streamlined design to be stabilized the flows. A pressure measurement has been performed to know that the influence of the configuration change. In result, the rate of pressure loss reduction is about 22% at the position of No. 2 and 24.2% at the position of No. 6 in comparison with pre-improved shape.

This study was conducted to investigate the influence of herbicides, simazine, pendimethalin, propyzamide and asulam on the growth of Zoysia matrella when they are treated at different growth stages of the plant. The reaction of Zoysia matrella to herbicides differed depending on kinds of herbicides, their concentcations, and time of treatment. Simazine at the higher concentration of 600g /l0a exhibited inhibitory effect on leaf dry matter and growth of runner when treated on April 5, 1991. The highest inhibition of leaf and runner was observed in the plot applied on May 23, 1990. The sprouting and growth of Zoysia matrella was not affected by all the concentrations of the herbicides applied on October 23,1991. Pendimethalin did not influence the growth of Zoysia matrella at he treatment of April 5. However, at the treatment of May 23, the number and growth of runner was inhibited although the plant height and leaf dry matter was not affected. When pendimethalin was treated on October 23, the growth of runner was very slightly reduced in the next year. In case of propyzamide, there was no inhibitory effect on the growth of Zoysia matrella regardless of treatment of times, methods, and dosages. Greater inhibition in the growth of Zoysia matrella was observed at higher dosage(1,ll0g /l0a)-treated plot on April 5 and all the concentrations treated on May 23. But, no inhibition was observed on the October 23 treatment.
