In this study, the liquid-vapor (L-V) separator equipped with liquid-level meter is developed. In the developed L-V separator, the flange is designed to be attachable so that the separator can be flexibly applied under any cases where the volumetric of L-V separator is varied by the system requirement. The leak-tightness between the attachable flange and the chamber is experimentally confirmed with the use of double groove indium wire sealing even under the high pressure up to 20 bar. In addition, the liquid-level meter is designed and fabricated to figure out the inner state of L-V separator. It consists with 19 carbon composition resistors in series. All resistors are separately calibrated in the temperature range from 77 K to 200 K. The performance of the L-V separator and the liquid-level meter is investigated with experimental tests, and the result is presented in this paper.

The effect of liquid level on the natural frequencies and mode shapes of a partially liquid-filled circular cylindrical shell with various boundary conditions is investigated by means of a theoretical analysis based upon Fourier series expansion method and a finite element analysis using ANSYS computer program. Two dimensional mode shapes of the liquid-coupled shell structure are obtained by the ANSYS finite element analysis and show that the liquid level affect the nodal point movement. It is found that the variation of normalized naturalfrequencies (natural frequencies of liquid-filled shell/antural frequencies ofempty shell) to the liquid level is depend on the axial mode numbers and circumferential wave numbers. Additionally, it is found that the number of variational steps of normalized natural frequencies is identicial to that of axial nodal points of the mode shape.

밀폐된 초저온액화가스 저장탱크에 액화질소의 충전량을 바꾸어 가면서 시간이 경과함에 따른 탱크 내부의 여러 가지 변화에 대해 조사하였다. 탱크 내부의 압력, 온도, 액체와 기체의 비율 등의 변화는 충전된 액체의 양에 의존한다. 탱크에 충전된 액체의 양에 따라 (1)액면이 높아지면서 액화를 동반하기도 하고, (2)액면이 높아짐에도 불구하고 초기에는 액체의 기화가 일어나다가 압력이 높아지면 다시 액화가 일어나기도 하며, (3)액면은 일정하게 유지되지만 액체의 기화가 일어나기도 하며, (4)액면이 낮아짐과 동시에 액체의 기화가 일어나는 등 다양한 변화를 나타내었다. 탱크에 액체를 가득 채우면 압력이 급상승하여 매우 위험하므로 안전수칙에 따라 $90\%$ 이하 충전해야한다. 탱크가 완전히 밀폐되어 있을 경우, 탱크를 액체로 가득 채우면 불과 5일만에 80bar의 압력상승을 가져오지만, $90\%$ 충전하면 5일 동안에 겨우 1.5bar의 압력상승이 일어난다. 그러나 어느 경우이건 액체를 충전한 채 탱크를 완전히 밀폐시킨 뒤 장기간 방치하는 것은 대단히 위험하다.

The microwave Radar used for special purposes in the past is being applied in various areas due to the technological advancement and cost reduction, and is particularly applied to autonomous driving in the automobile field. The FMCW (Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave) Radar can acquire level information of liquid in vessel based on the beat frequency obtained by continuously transmitting and receiving signals by modulating the frequency over time. However, for cryogenic fluids with small impedance differences between liquid medium and gas medium, such as liquid nitrogen and liquid hydrogen, it is difficult to apply a typical Radar-based level meter. In this study, we develop an 80 GHz FMCW Radar for level measurement of cryogenic fluids with small impedance differences between media and analyze its characteristics. Here, because of the low intrinsic impedance difference, most of the transmitted signal passes through the liquid nitrogen interface and is reflected at the bottom of the vessel. To solve this problem, a radar measurement algorithm was designed to detect multiple targets and separate the distance signal to the bottom of the vessel in order to estimate the precise position on the liquid nitrogen interface. Thereafter, performance verification experiments were performed according to the liquid nitrogen level using the developed radar level meter.

This work reports development of novel liquid-level sensors based on the $3{\omega}$ method. The sensors determine the liquid level by measuring the thermal response as in the conventional hot-wire technique. However the sensors employ an AC heating method to enhance the sensitivity, noise resistance and time response. Also, the microfabricated thin-film structure of the sensor provides mass-producibility as well as improved sensor performance owing to the increase in the surface-volume ratio of the sensor. Two different types of the sensor are developed: one for point detection of the fluid phase and the other for monitoring continuous variation of liquid level. Notable is that the performance of the sensor is not considerably affected by the liquid flow.

To predict the average liquid level under the condition of the countercurrent stratified two-phase flow in a pipe, an analytical model has been suggested. This is made by introducing the interfacial level gradient into the liquid-phase and the gas-phase momentum equations. The analytical method for the gas-phase pressure drop calculation with f$_i$ $\neq$ f$_G$ has also been described using the liquid level prediction model developed in the present study.

Measurement of liquid level in storage and processing vessels, tanks, wells, reservoirs and hoppers is commonly needed. The several different ways to measure the liquid level of oil or water tank have been provided such as an electrostatic capacity, a supersonic waves and an optical science etc. In the study, we have constructed the stable and efficient measurement system to measure the level of liquid at real-time and to get accurate measurement of the maximum and minimum level of the tank. For this purpose, we suggest double sensing methods by adopting both capacitive and optical sensing. The experimental results, presented in this paper, illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method under different sensing methods.

The purpose of this study is to propose the basic data for the development of a sensor capable of simultaneously measuring the liquid-level, concentration and temperature of a urea tank using ultrasonic and electrical conductivity sensors for diesel vehicles with a urea-SCR system. It was found that the liquid-level of the urea tank using the ultrasonic sensor showed a good linearity with the actual liquid-level, and the urea concentration maintained good linearity in the range of 32.5 wt% to 10 wt%. It was an effective measurement of urea concentration to use the electrical conductivity sensor in the temperature range of $-10{\sim}22^{\circ}C$ and to use the ultrasonic sensor at $22^{\circ}C$ or more. Simultaneous measurement of concentration, liquid-level and temperature of the urea tank will be possible by attaching the electrical conductivity sensor and the ultrasonic sensor (split-type) to one sensor together.
