내부가 비어 있거나 유체로 절반 채워진 보온 및 비보온 배관에 대해 방사선 조사 방향에 따른 투과두께와 농도 변화를 전산 시뮬레이션 하였다. 결과적으로 내부가 비어있는 배관의 경우 투과필름에서 농도 변화가 연속적이며 대칭적인 반면, 유체가 절반 채워진 배관의 경우는 방사선 조사 방향에 따라 농도 변화가 비대칭적이며 크게 달라질 수 있음을 알았다. 인공 결함을 가공한 탄소강 배관 시편을 방사선원 Ir-192로 방사선투과시험 한 뒤 농도 변화를 측정하고 이론적으로 계산한 농도 변화와 비교한 결과 산란 방사선에 의한 영향이 큰 가장자리를 제외한 부분에서는 농도 변화를 이용한 두께 평가가 가능함을 확인하였다.

우리는 원자력발전시스템에서부터 상수도까지 많은 배관시스템을 사용하고 있다. 그리고 이들 배관시스템의 적절한 운용을 위하여 배관시스템의 유지 및 보수 등을 수행하고 있다. 특히 한국지역난방공사와 같은 대형플랜트 배관시스템의 고장은 기업의 생산성과 이익에 직결된 문제일 뿐만 아니라 국민의 안전과 편익과 같은 매우 중요한 문제를 유발할 수 있기 때문에 빠른 대응과 안전한 수리가 가장 중요한 문제로 대두되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 한국지역난방공사 사용 중인 이중보온 열수송관(300A)의 유지보수를 위하여 액화질소를 이용한 배관 동결차수공법을 개발하였다. 본 연구에서는 전산해석기법을 채용하여 대상 열수송관과 전용 재킷에 대한 내부 유동 및 열전달 해석을 수행하여 최적의 시스템을 선정하고, 상세 모델을 설계, 제작하였다. 실험실 규모 시험장치를 개발하여 차수공법에 대한 자체시험을 수행하고, 한국지역난방공사 세종지사 Test bed에서 현장적용 성능평가 시험을 수행하였다.

Failure analysis of pre-insulated pipe (SPPS 380, 400A) transporting high temperature water ($95{\sim}110^{\circ}C$) for a plant was carried out. The damaged area (${\Phi}5mm$) of pre-insulated pipe was found only on welds. The chemical composition of damaged pipe meets specification of carbon steel pipes for pressure service (KS D 3562). As results of microstructure analysis, crack propagated from outer to inside after pitting corrosion occurred on the outside surface. The non-metallic inclusion existed on the end of crack. And the non-metallic inclusion continuously and linearly formed along with the bond line of welds. Based on SEM-EDS analysis, the nonmetallic inclusions have higher Manganese (Mn) and Oxygen (O) content but sulfur (S) was not detected. As results of water quality analysis, hydrogen ion concentration and minerals like Fe, Mg, Si were in low level. But the content of dissolved oxygen (11.2 ppm) was slightly higher than that of standard. It seems that the cause of damaged pipe is grooving corrosion due to MnO inclusion formed on bond line and corrosion took place nearby welds.

The safe operation of petrochemical plant requires screening of the pipework to ensure that there are no unacceptable levels of corrosion. Unfortunately, each plant has many thousands of metres of pipe, much of which is insulated or inaccessible. Conventional methods such as visual inspection and ultrasonic thickness gauging require access to each point of the pipe which is time consuming and very expensive to achieve. Extensional or torsional ultrasonic guided waves in the pipe wall provide an attractive solution to this problem because they can be excited at one location on the pipe and will propagate many metres along the pipe, returning echoes indicating the presence of corrosion or other pipe features. Guided Ultrasonics Ltd have now commercialised the technique and this paper describes the basis of the method, together with examples of practical test results and typical application areas.

Procedures for estimation of insulation thickness for a horizontal pipe for condensation control or personnel protection has been investigated, parallel to the previous work of a vertical wall case. Parameters include pipe diameter, emissivity, thermal conductivity, and operating temperatures. The results indicated that the surface emissivity plays a very important role in the design of insulation, specially for the case of high temperature application with low Bi. The effect of surface radiation in such case could be up to 65% of the total. Required insulation thickness for the surface temperature control increases as pipe diameter increases and as surface emissivity decreases. Adequate revision of specifications or standards to include newly invented insulation materials with high emissivity has been also suggested.

A numerical study has been performed to predict the characteristics on the transient operation of the heat pipe with multiple heaters for electronic cooling. The model of the heat pipe was composed of the evaporator section with four heaters, insulated transport section, and the condensor section with a conductor which is cooled with uniform heat flux condition to surrounding. The governing equations and the boundary conditions were solved by the generalized PHOENICS computational code employing the finite volume method. Two test cases are investigated in present study; Case 1 indicates that the 1st and 2nd heaters among four heating sources are heated off, while the 3rd and 4th heaters are heated on. Case 2 is the inverse situation switched from heating location of Case 1. The results show that the transient time to reach the steady state is shorter for Case 1 than for Case 2. Especially, the temperature difference of the heater during switching operation is relatively small compared to the maximum allowable operating temperature difference in electronic system. Hence, it is predicted that the heat pipe in present study operates with thermally good reliability even for switching the heaters.

This paper proposes an optimum pipe material (PVC vs. PE) design & selection for open loop ground heat exchangers. Heat exchange efficiency and/or workability, and the need for trench insulation were investigated by comparing EWT (cooling mode) of each system. CFD simulations for the PVC and PE pipe with the same inner diameter show similar EWT. This is because the PVC pipe has a small thickness but a low thermal conductivity as compared to the PE pipe, and thus these two properties tend to offset each other. However, a hypothetically insulated pipe led to a meaningful drop of EWT. This means pipe insulation is of importance in performance of ground heat exchangers. From analyzing climate data and system operation, it is not advantageous to insulate trench pipes due to construction difficulties and ground temperature characteristics that are seasonally varied.

Local wall thinning in pipelines affects the structural integrity of industries like nuclear power plants (NPPs). In the present study, a pulsed eddy current (PEC) differential probe with two excitation coils and two Hall-sensors was fabricated to measure the wall thinning in insulated pipelines. A stainless steel test sample was prepared with a thickness that varied from 1 mm to 5 mm and was laminated by plastic insulation to simulate the pipelines in NPPs. The excitation coils in the probe were driven by a rectangular current pulse, the difference of signals from two Hall-sensors was measured as the resultant PEC signal. The peak value of the detected signal is used to describe the wall thinning. The peak value increased as the thickness of the test sample increased. The results were measured at different insulation thicknesses on the sample. Results show that the differential PEC probe has the potential to detect wall thinning in an insulated NPP pipelines.

This paper presents the evaluation electric shock risk In bath so that we made and designed a bathtub which is the same size in real public bath. and then we did an experiment, provided of electric leakage in various conditions so, we measured how to form an electric potential and knew the electric potential is formed variously under exposed conductor in bath. also we made certain that electric shock risk is down if we insert an insulated pipe in bathtub pipe which is prevent from being formed the electric field sharply.
