In general, marine casualities take palace by the composite action of three elements such as waterway condition, vessel condition and man condition. One of the important characteristics of most marie casualties for small cargo vessels in maritime transportation of near-coastal and greater-coasting seas in that the same kind of casualities take place repeatedly in spite of the apprent causes, Because, it takes much time and effort for seamen to master waterway, vessel or operatin technique only to the practical and sensible level. In these days, with the development of our economy, our shiypping industry has grown and therefore the demand of marine officers has increased. This economic growth brought about undesirable situation like the evasion of seamen and frequent casualities of Korea vessels. These marine casualities are being caused mainly by the unskilfulness of operating technique as well as the bad waterway condition and ship's installation condition. Therefore, I conclude, in this paper, that the most efficient and economic preventing measures of marine casualities are seeking causes and removing them in advance under the close coperation system among all concerned parties.

A safety valve is used for protecting the pressure vessel and facilities by discharging the operating fluid into the valve from the accident when the pressure is over the designated value. The fluid is sulfurous acid and nitric acid. etc. in the semi-conductor assembly line. Thus the valve elements material must be acid resistance. Teflon, which is used generally as inner parts of a valve, tends to easily sticks to sliding surface by thermal expansion under high temperature. Some studies are performed to change teflon to another material and shape to have a better fluidity under the condition. The analysis of the thermal expansion is conducted by commercial FEM software to improve the problems. Boundary conditions were temperature and load in this study. From the analysis, the thermal expansion of stainless steel is verified to be lower than that of teflon under high temperature. Thus coupled teflon/stainless steel-made valve is applied to assembly line without danger due to thermal expansion.

Hydraulic breaker attached excavator generally used for the destroying and disassembling of buildings, crashing road pavement, breaking rocks at quarry and etc. The developed breaker are determined their own destructive force and number of impact by the input hydraulic flow rate and pressure than the operating conditions, In this study, the characteristics of pressure variation in closed vessel is invested for testing the impact energy of hydraulic breaker. To test the impact energy, the test system is designed as a mechanism consisted with a hydraulic cylinder, main base, pressure sensor, LVDT, data acquisition system and etc.. The developed test system is applied to measure the impact energy for hydraulic breaker. The proposed testing method could be applied for conventional impact test and the control system evaluation for hydraulic breakers.

In this paper are described the indirect induction heated boiler and induction heated hot air producer using the voltage-fed series resonant high-frequency inverter which can operate in the frequency range from 20kHz to 50kHz. A specially designed induction heater, which is composed of laminated stainless assembly with many tiny holes and interconnected spot welding points between stainless plates, is inserted Into the ceramic type vessel with external working coil. This working coil is connected to the inverter and turbulence fluid through this induction heater to moving fluid generates in the vessel. The operating performances of this unique appliance in next generation and its effectiveness are evaluated and discussed from a practical point of view.

Underwater radiated noise is one of the important performances related to stealth of the naval vessel. However, the evaluation can't be performed frequently due to the cost. Therefore, the estimation method of the underwater radiated noise with average hull vibration is suggested in this paper assuming that the hull of the ship is infinite plate which consists of various unit plates. Through the experiment, the estimated noise is verified from the comparison to the measured data. In addition the difference of underwater radiated noise according to the operating equipments is estimated with measured vibration velocity.

The reactor pressure vessel head of PWR has penetrations for control rod drive mechanism and instrumentation systems. The Primary coolant water and operating temperature can cause the stress-corrosion cracking of these nickel-based alloy penetrations. It is difficult to detect and size flaws such as SCC in the reactor head penetrations using conventional W methods because of complex geometry, Therefore, the utilities are using the TOFD technique for the detection and sizing of the flaw. This study shows the correlation between the ultrasonic wave direction and the orientation of the flaw and the range of flaw depth which can be detected by the TOFD techniques.

In this case study, results of the explosion accident at MEK-PO factory were analysed by using the consequence analysis of quantitative hazard assessment and the explosion energy, the burst pressure of vessel, and overpressures at the explosion center and at 300m distance from the explosion center were estimated, respectively. As a result, we found that a cause of accident was the runaway reaction of product(MEK-PO) because of the molecular expansion in vessel and that the possibility of the runaway reaction was classified the mechanical failure(the obstacle of refrigerator or the shutdown valve), design error, and operating error by lack of thermochemical knowledge. Also, the evasive action to prevent accident was suggested.

This paper proposes a procedure for designing a resonant network for induction cookers that enables the induction heating of magnetic and non-magnetic vessels. In order to design such network, the range of operating frequency must be determined according to the material of the vessels by measuring several parameters, such as equivalent resistance and inductance, which are reflected in the working coil of the vessels. Through this process, the capacitance of the resonant capacitor is determined. The PSIM simulation and experiment results verify the feasibility of the proposed design and the heating performance of the designed resonant network.

A pressurizer in a small integral type pressurized water reactor is located inside the upper region of the reactor vessel, and uses a space between the upper head of the reactor vessel and the upper region of the upper guide structure which is partially filled with fluid depending on the operating power. This new design requires a comprehensive investigation of vibration characteristics. This study investigates the modal characteristics of a pressurizer which uses a simplified cylindrical shell model, focusing on how having fluid in the shell affects vibration and response characteristics. In addition, an analysis of sloshing is performed and the response characteristics are addressed.
