Pressure trasients must deal with safety problem of system. For identification of physical situation that can and method of limiting surges are essential consideration in sucessful design. The finite difference equation by method of characteristics are derived from the governing equation of unsteady flow in a pipe, and solved by using boundary condition derived. A computer program which can simulate general hydraulic system is developed by using finite difference equations and boundary conditions derived. The sumulated resulted by developed computer program are in fair agreement with experiment result.

The purpose of this study is to compare the quality of digital radiography image with that of classical film images for welded structure in power plants. The CMOS(Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) flat panel detecter and Agfa D5 film are used to image flaw specimens respectively. In the test, CMOS flat panel detector has been determined to have a better image than that of film image. In the IQI(Image Quality Indicator) transmission test, one or two more line can be seen in digital image than in film image. Digital Radiography Test enabled to successfully detect all defects on the weld specimens fabricated with real reheat stem pipe and boiler tube as well. In the specific comparison test, Digital radiography test detected micro flaws in the size of 0.5 mm in length by 0.5 mm in depth. However, film test has limited it to 1.0 mm in length by 1.0 mm in depth. As a result of this study, digital radiography technology is estimated well enough to perform the inspection in the industry with far more cost effective way, compared to the classical film test.

천연가스는 지구상에서 비교적 광범위하게 생산되며 구미 등에서는 대부분 pipe line으로 소비지까지 운송하여 사용하고 있지만 일본 등에서는 액화 천연가스 (LNG)로 저장, 수송하여 사용하고 있다. LNG 저장탱크는 생산측의 액화기지와 사용측 의 수입기지에 설치되며 지금까지 약 240기가 건설되어 있다. 종래 탱크 1기의 용량 은 대부분 6 - 8만m$^{3}$ 규모였지만, 토지의 유효이용 등으로 대형화되고 있으며, 또 지상식에서는 PC(Prestressed Concrete)의 방파제를 외부탱크에 근접시켜 외부탱크 와 일체화시킨 PC LNG 탱크가 개발.설계되었다. 일본에서는 이미 이 방식으로 세계 최대규모인 14만m$^{3}$ 탱크가 건조되어 가동 중이다. LNG의 주성분은 메탄이고 비등점은 -161.5.deg.C로 극저온이다. 이러한 저온에서도 취화되지 않고 사용할 수 있는 재료는 9%Ni강, Al 합금, 스테인레스강 및 Invar 등이 있지만, 탱크의 대형화에 따라 가공성, 용접성 및 경제성을 고려하여 요즈음은 9%Ni강이 주로 사용되고 있다. 한편 9%Ni강용 용접재료는 고Ni계 합금 및 모재와 동일한 성분계의 공금계가 있지만 지금까지 고 Ni계 합급이 주로 사용되고 있다. 본 내용에서는 9%Ni강을 사용한 지상식 평지원통형 LNG 탱크를 예로 들어 탱크의 개요 및 용접재료, 용접시공 등을 포함한 용접기술에 대해서 개괄적으로 설명하고자 한다.

The arc, generated by Tungsten Inert Gas(TIG) welding, is stable and provides excellent quality of the weld. Since automation is difficult, a lot of work is performed by hand. In addition, to obtain the uniform weld quality is difficult when using a base metal having a nonuniform welding line, or when welding inside a pipe. Generally, TIG welding power has the characteristic of constant-current. The welding voltage is changed in proportion to the arc length. Hence, the automatic voltage control equipment should be applied at the TIG welding system. The automatic voltage control equipment has been designed using LabVIEW software. It consists of a manufactured voltage divider circuit, and jig for moving the torch. The voltage measurements and driving of the motor were performed through the algorithm implementation in LabVIEW. Welding was conducted while increasing the arc length. In this process, it was confirmed that the automatic voltage control equipment kept the arc length constant.

In some portions of nuclear piping systems, stratification phenomena may occur due to the density difference between hot and cold stream. When the temperature difference is large, the stratified flow under diverse operating conditions can produce high thermal stress, which leads to unanticipated piping integrity issues. The objectives of this research are to examine controvertible numerical factors such as model size, grid resolution, turbulent parameters, governing equation, inflow direction and pipe wall. Parametric three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics analyses were carried out to quantify effects of these parameters on the accuracy of temperature profiles in a typical nuclear piping with complex geometries. Then, as a key finding, it was recommended to use optimized mesh of real piping with the conjugated heat transfer condition for accurate thermal stratification analyses.

In recent years, with the growing interest in electric vehicles, the development of a Neighborhood Electronic Vehicle (NEV) made for urban driving is accelerating. Existing NEVs are set to ~0.3 - 0.35 with more emphasis on performance rather than minimizing air resistance. In this paper, a NEV with a streamlined car body is proposed. The shape of dolphins and sharks was applied to the car body to minimize the air resistance generated when driving. Also, the performance of the vehicle was estimated by calculating the traction force and the roll couple, etc. To check the drag coefficient of the car body, finite element analysis software (COMSOL Multiphysics) was used. The frame of the vehicle is divided into the forward and the rear parts. Carbon pipe is used for the frame by MIG welding. The car body of the vehicle was fabricated by forming carbon fiber. This study confirmed the general possibility of using NEVs through driving experiments.

Sulfide segregation behavior, characteristics of solidification microstructure and compositional distribution in the riser/castings junction of heavy-section main bearing support (MBS) steel castings were investigated; Sulfide streaks of A segregation were formed in the transitional region from columnar grain to coarse equiaxed grain and floated with aggregation of the dendritic free crystal. Solute segregation behaviors of elements Si, P and S were V shape negative segregation from the bottom of the castings to upper part of the riser with the reference of vertical center-line of the specimen block. Those of elements C and Mn were V shape negative segregation in the main body and A shape positive segregation in the riser of the casting. Just beneath the pipe shrinkage in the riser segregation ratio of each element was the highest, and that of S was 3.6 times higher, C 3.3 times, P 2.1 times, Si 1.6 times and Mn 1.0 times respectively. [Mn/S] ratio of the specimen block was distributed in the wide range of 20~275.

NOx emission has been controlled because it is a major cause of the acid rain and effects considerably on formation and destruction of ozone. A SCR system on diesel engine is necessary to clear TierIII, because IMO(International Maritime Organization) plans on tightening regulations to TierIII at $1^{st}$ January 2016. In this study, flow analysis was accomplished with ANSYS Fluent program so that the SCR system would be retrofitted in training ship KAYA and the temperature distributions of exhaust gas in SCR sytem were investigated after it was installed. As a result, it was confirmed that pressure and velocity distributions in SCR system were depended on pipe line shapes, then it was designed as the pressure was lower. The temperature differential between 1 and 3 point was $15^{\circ}C$ because of evaporative latent heat of urea and the temperature of 4 point after catalyst was increased by $5^{\circ}C$ than 3 point because of exothermic reaction.

API(American Petroleum Institute) steel, as a line pipe material, requires the enhanced mechanical and chemical properties with the environmental severity. Especially, the weld part(weld metal and heat affected zone) is an important region for the safety. However, the study for the behavior of microstructure and toughness in multi-pass welding is seldom. In this study, the relationship between the microstructure and toughness of welds with several welding, bending and heat-treatment conditions was examined. In particular, HIC property in the weld metal was evaluated. The microstructure and toughness in multi-passed HAZ seemed to be determined by the final welding thermal cycle and the low toughness was attributed to the MA constituents formed in the intercritically reheated region. The weld metal showed very low toughness and it was not improved by the change in bending and heat treatment conditions. Additionally, the cracks are observed in the weld metal. from these results, it was found that the choice of welding wire/flux is very important.

Knowledge of ground thermal properties is most important for the proper design of large scale BHE(borehole heat exchanger) systems. The type, pipe size and thermal performance of the BHE is highly dependent on the ground source heatpump system-efficiency and instruction cost. Thermal response tests with mobile measurement devices were developed primarily for insitu determination of design data for large diameter BHE for triple-U spacer apply. The main purpose has been to determine insitu values of effective ground thermal conductivity and thermal resistance, including the effect of ground-water flow and natural convection in the boreholes. The test rig is set up on a some trailer, and contains a circulation pump, a inline heater, temperature sensors, flow meter, power analysis meter and a data logger for recording the temperature, fluid flow data. A constant heat power is injected into the borehole through the tripl-U pipes system of test rig and the resulting temperature change in the borehole is recorded. The recorded temperature data are analysed with a line-source model, which gives the effective insitu values of rock thermal conductivity and borehole thermal resistance of large diameter BHE for spacer apply.
