It has been reported that some events of a rupture of seam generator tube have occurred in nuclear power plants around the world. Main causes of the leakage are from various types of corrosion in the steam generator(SG) tubings. Primary water stress corrosion cracking(PWSCC) of steam generator tubings have occurred in many tubes in Korean plant, and they were repaired using sleeves or plugs, In order to develop proper repair criteria, it is necessary to ascertain the leak behavior of the tubings. A high pressure leak and burst testing system was manufactured. Various types of Electro Discharged Machined (EDM) notches were developed on the SG tubes. Leak rate and burst pressure were measured on the tubes at room temperature. Burst pressure of the part through wall defected tubes depends on the defect depth, Water flow rates after the burst were independent of the t1aw types; tubes having 20 to 60 mm long EDM notches showed similar flow rates regardless of the defect depth. A fast pressurization rate gave the tube a lower burst pressure than the case of a slow pressurization.

The objective of this study is to elucidate the characteristic performance of Roots-type vacuum pump with Cassini oval lobe shape. The modelled lobe shape of Roots-type vacuum pump is two-lobe spur gear. The numerical analyses are performed fer leak flows, using 4th-order Runge-Kutta method and are compared with experimental results. Results show that for the case of involute lobe shape the total amount of the leak flow conductance is greater than that of cycloid and Cassini oval lobe shapes.

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.

This study result is obtained by flow analysis according to opening and shutting angle of ball valve. As opening and shutting angle becomes larger, vortex flow becomes smaller and flow rate becomes increased. And the pressure drop is shown to be smaller at the inlet and outlet of ball. As this angle becomes larger, mass flow rate becomes increased. Its rate becomes increased abruptly in case of opening and shutting angle at more than $60^{\circ}$.This analysis result can be applied usefully with no leak at pipe system field by the optimum control of mass flow rate according to opening and shutting of ball valve.

The refrigerator consists of many components such as compressor condenser expansion valve evaporator and the cabinet which filled by urethane foam. In this paper the heat leakage of refriger-ator is measured by the new experiment method which is different from a present method, The devi-ation of the UA(overall heat transfer coefficient times area) between the simulation and experiments is about 7-8%. Using the modeling of various components of refrigeration system a performance analysos of CFC 12 and HFC 134a is performed numerically on the UA. As the results of this study according to increase the heat leakage the refrigeration load and mass flow rate of refrigerant are increased. And the increase of the mass flow rate results in the increase of the condensing and evapo-rating temperature. Therefore according to increase of the heat leakage the COP leads to increase because the increase of refrigeration capacity is larger than the increase if compressor power.

Acoustic emission signals due to leak from circular holes of 0.4, 1, 2 and 4mm diameter and rectangular slits of different geometry having the same cross section as 4mm diameter hole was studied both analytically and experimentally. Acoustic emission signals from a wide-band type transducer were transformed to digital signals through a digital oscilloscope, and $V_{rms}$ and frequency spectrum were obtained by processing digital signals. Relationships between acoustic parameters and fluid mechanical parameters were derived analytically. A quadrapole aerodynamic model was applied in the analysis of leak from the circular holes and $V_{rms}$ was found to be proportional to the root square of leak rate through the circular hole. A modified model based on dipole source mechanism and laminar equivalent diameter was applied in the analysis of leak signals from the rectangular slits. In the case of constant pressure, $V_{rms}$ increased as the laminar equivalent diameter of slit decreased. In the case of constant laminar equivalent diameter, however the result was similar to that for leak from the circular hole. The frequency spectra of leak signals shows the same frequency characteristics irrespective of the pressure difference.rence.

Background: Assessments of air leaks are usually performed subjectively, precluding the use of air leaks as an evaluation factor. We aimed to identify objective parameters as predictive factors for prolonged air leak (PAL) and air leak cessation (ALC) from air flow data produced by a digital drainage system. Methods: Flow data records of 352 patients who underwent lung lobectomy were reviewed, and flow data at designated intervals (1, 2, and 3 hours postoperatively [POH] and 3 times a day thereafter [06:00, 13:00, 19:00]) were extracted. ALC was defined by flow less than 20 mL/min over 12 hours, and PAL was defined as ALC after 5 days. Cumulative incidence curves were obtained using Kaplan-Meier estimates of time to ALC. Cox regression analysis was performed to determine the effects of variables on the rate of ALC. Results: The incidence of PAL was 18.2% (64/352). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed cut-off values of 180 mL/min for the flow at 3 POH and 73.3 mL/min for the flow on postoperative day 1; the sensitivity and specificity of these values were 88.9% and 82.5%, respectively. The rates of ALC by Kaplan-Meier analysis were 56.8% at 48 POH and 65.6% at 72 POH. Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that the flow at 3 POH (≤80 mL/min), operation time (≤220 minutes), and right middle lobectomy independently predicted ALC. Conclusion: Air flow measured by a digital drainage system is a useful predictor of PAL and ALC and may help optimize the hospital course.

가스계량기의 검침방식이 발전하면서 원격검침이 가능한 스마트 가스 계량기(누출점검용 계량기 및 다기능 안전 계량기)가 사용되고 있다. 이러한 계량기는 부가기능으로 수집하는 유량 및 압력 데이터를 활용하여 누출 판단을 하는 기능이 있다. 유량 데이터를 이용한 누출판단 기능은 실제 현장에서 유효한 사례가 있지만 압력 데이터 기반 누출 판단 기준은 누출로 인한 압력 값 변화뿐만 아니라 여러 요인(정압기 압력 크기, 인접 계량기 연계, 인접 주택 사용량, 계량기 위치 등)으로 압력 크기 변화(레벨)가 있는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 스마트 가스계량기에서 수집되는 압력데이터를 활용하여 누출여부를 판단 할 수 있는 기법으로 압력 데이터 전처리 방법과 누출 여부 관련 압력 값 범위 기준, 누출판단 기법 및 적용 사례 검증을 통해 개발하였다.

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.
