Nuclear power plant steam generator that is one of the main component has several thousands of thin tubes. And the steam generator tube is subject to damage because of the severe operation conditions such as the high temperature and pressure. Therefore periodic inspections are conducted to ensure the integrity of steam generator component. Hanul unit 3 also has been inspected in accordance with in-service inspection program and is scheduled to be replaced for exceeding the plugging rate which was recommended by manufacturer. During the steam generator replacement activity, we found several clustered porosity on inner surface of main feed water pipe. Additionally crack-like indications were found at weld interface between base material and weld of main feed water pipe. This paper describes the field experience and visual testing results for inner surface of main feed water pipes. The destructive test result had shown that these indications were porosities which were caused by manufacturing process not by operation service.

터빈 사이클의 성능 상태량을 결정하기 위한 보정 열 성능 분석은 발전소의 향상된 경제성 운전을 위해 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 유용하고 정확한 성능 분석을 위해서 산업 표준인 ASME PTC를 기분으로 하여 성능 데이터를 사용하여 주급수 유량의 영역별 판정 알고리듬을 개발하고 각 영역별 추정 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 추정 알고리즘은 측정 상태량의 상관관계를 기반으로 형상 분류를 제시하고, 이를 기반으로 서포트 벡터 머신 모델링을 이용하여 추정 모델을 구성하였으며, 서포트 벡터 머신 모델링의 우수성을 검증하기 위하여 신경 회로망 모델, 커널 회귀 모델과 비교하였다. 주급수 유량의 형상 분류 및 추정 모델은 터빈 사이클에서 정확한 보정 열 성능 분석을 제공함으로써 향상된 성능 분석에 기여할 것이다.

터빈 사이클 보정 열 성능 분석은 발전소의 현재 성능을 결정하고 향상된 경제성 운전을 위해 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 신뢰성있는 성능 분석을 위해서 산업 표준인 ASME(American Society of Mechanical Engineers) PTC(Performance Test Code)를 기본으로 성능 분석에서 우선적으로 중요하게 적용되는 주급수 유량을 대상으로 영역별 판정 알고리즘을 개발하고 각 영역별로 현재의 터빈 사이클 성능을 추정하는 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 추정 알고리즘은 측정 상태량의 상관 관계를 기반으로 영역별로 형상 분류를 제시하고, 이를 기반으로 커널 회귀 모델을 이용하여 학습된 추정 모델을 구성하였으며, 커널 회귀 모델링의 우수성을 검증하기 위하여 신경 회로망 모델의 학습 결과와 비교하였다. 주급수 유량의 형상 특성에 따른 분류 및 추정 모델은 터빈 사이클에서 정확한 보정 열 성능 분석을 제공함으로써 성능 분석의 신뢰도를 증가시킬 수 있었으며 다른 성능 결정 변수에 대한 학습 및 검증 모델로 사용될 수 있다.

The reliable operation of a swing check valve in the main feed water system of a power plant is most essential for successful shout-down process. A failure to close the valve at proper time often leads to the instability of the main feed water system, or even to an emergency stop of the power plant. In reality it is a very difficult task to monitor the behavior of a swing check valve. Furthermore it is impossible to see the motion of the valve. In this work two measurements were carried out simultaneously to determine the precise valve closure time. The dynamic pressure measurements were made at the inlet and outlet regions of the swing check valve. The transient vibration of the valve housing in the direction of water flow was also measured, which enabled the measurement of the transient vibration of the valve housing near valve closure. By comparing the results produced from these measurements the precise valve closure time could be determined. By carrying out order tracking technique using the dynamic pressure signals and pump rpm signal, the complicated dynamic problems inside the main feed water system can be more easily dealt with. This measurement scheme might be implemented in a power plant on a real-time basis without much difficulty. If this could be implemented, valuable information essential for shut-down operations can readily be passed on to the main control room. The feasibility of this implementation was demonstrated by this experimental work.

Analysis of thermal performance is required for the economic operation of turbine cycle of power plant. We developed corrective model of main feed water flow which is the most important parameter for the precise analysis of turbine cycle performance. Classification model for the identification of feed water flow measurement status was applied to increase the suitability of the corrective model. We used neural network and support vector machine to develop estimation model of main feed water flow with more generalization capability. The estimation model can be used practically to evaluate corrective performance of turbine cycle plant.

There are three main devices such as boiler producing steam, turbine driving generator and generator producing electricity. An electrical generator in power plant is driven and maintained its speed at rated by steam turbine which is coupled into generator directly. Turbine auxiliary devices such as condenser, deaerator, feed water heater, gland steam condenser, pump recirculation equipment, feed water pump, and so on should be operated well so that the steam turbine exert its maximum efficiency. There are many control loop such as hot well level and condenser recirculation, deaerator level, pegging steam pressure, feed water heater level, feed water pump recirculation. In this paper condenser level control and deaerator level control are going to be described.

The air gap membrane distillation (AGMD) process was applied for water desalination. The main objective of the present work was to study the heat and mass transfer mechanism of the process. The experiments were performed on a flat sheet module using aqueous NaCl solutions as a feed. The membrane employed was hydrophobic PTFE of pore size 0.22 ${\mu}m$. A mathematical model is proposed to evaluate the membrane mass transfer coefficient, thermal boundary layers' heat transfer coefficients, membrane / liquid interface temperatures and the temperature polarization coefficients. The mass transfer model was validated by the experimentally and fitted well with the combined Knudsen and molecular diffusion mechanism. The mass transfer coefficient increased with an increase in feed bulk temperature. The experimental parameters such as, feed temperature, 313 to 333 K, feed velocity, 0.8 to 1.8 m/s (turbulent flow region) were analyzed. The permeation fluxes increased with feed temperature and velocity. The effect of feed bulk temperature on the boundary layers' heat transfer coefficients was shown and fairly discussed. The temperature polarization coefficient increased with feed velocity and decreased with temperature. The values obtained were 0.56 to 0.82, indicating the effective heat transfer of the system. The fouling was observed during the 90 h experimental run in the application of natural ground water and seawater. The time dependent fouling resistance can be added in the total transport resistance.

Keeping cooling water temperature higher within the allowable range helps marine engines to run in more efficient condition especially when the engine load is low. Temperature control of jacket cooling water in outlet side of main engine has been more widely adopted to ships these days for the purpose to reduce fuel consumption rate. But If the temperature sensor for the control loop is placed at the outlet of engine, it brings more difficulties in attaining stable and desirable properties due to dead times included in pipe length and engine itself comparing to the case where the measuring point is at the inlet side of main engine. In relation with this problem, Feed-forward control could be one of realistic solutions as it reveals good properties and requires less cost for system configuration. This study suggests a forward control system which leads to improved temperature control performances to disturbance signals which could arise from variation of engine load or weather condition. Two dead times in the modelling were described, considering pipe length between the actuator and the engine as well as the thermal process inside the engine. The results of analysis were shown by simulations to confirm responses under different conditions.

The fracture toughness of 2.25Cr-1Mo cast steel (SA217-WC9) samples which were taken from the check valves of feed water piping of Korean Standard Nuclear Power Plant(KSNPP) was measured by Master Curve method. The measured $T_0$ reference temperature of SA217-WC9 steel was $-30^{\circ}C$. The obtained $T_0$ was compared to the derived value from Charpy impact test data following to SINTEP procedure. The heat-to-heat variation in fracture toughness of SA217-WC9 steel was observed. It was found that the low toughness of a heat of SA217-WC9 steel was attributed to the coarse MnS inclusion originated by high sulfur content as the results of microanalyses.
