The heat flux on a chip is rapidly increasing with decreasing the size of one. It is necessary to properly cool the high heat flux chip. One of the promising cooling methods is to apply CPL heat pipes with porous materials, for example PVA, polyethylene, and powder sintered metal plate and with microchannels in the evaporator. A small scale CPL heat pipe with PVA as wick was designed and manufactured. Since the height difference between the evaporator and the condenser is a crucial parameter in the CPL heat pipes, the performance of the heat pipes depending on the parameter was investigated. The parameter is higher the performance is better. However, the improvement rate of the performance does not increase the increase rate of the height. In addition to, the parameter effect depending on heat input was investigated.

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) aims to analyze possible impact upon manufacturing process and availability of products, and also study the environmental considerations and potential influence during entire life cycle ranging from procurement, production and utilization to treatment (namely, from cradle to tomb). Based on high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe manufacturing of company A, this case study would involve evaluation of environmental influence during the production process. When the manufacturing process has been improved during "production process" and "forming cooling" stage, it is found that capital input on "electric power" and "water supply" could be reduced, thus helping to sharpen the competitive power of company A, and also ensure sustainable economic and industrial development in accordance with national policies on environmental protection.

The current establishment of city gas piping polyethylene (PE) tube used as bonding state or part of the health or safety of fusion is very important. A part of these fusion methods to determine the soundness of the short-term trials and long-term tests can be largely classified. Typical tests include short-term strength, tensile strength, impact strength, compressive strength, resiliency and compression. Polyethylene (PE) pipes installed in the domestic terms of overall penetration rate of 45% has been used. However, polyethylene (PE) pipes have reliability problems, and these occurs mostly in part by defective welding. Therefore, the test is necessary for safety. Non-destructive methods (ultrasonic testing) are difficult to be used. Therefore, Polypropylene copolymer (PP-C), polypropylene homopolymer (PP-H), and polyethylene (PE) pipe are used. Fusion of these materials is necessary in these field however, its technical, and basic research has not been studied well. In this research, short-term strength of welding parts, its tensile strength, hardness, fatigue, and microstructure have been analyzed to find the optimum process conditions to improve mechanical properties.

In nuclear power plants, lined carbon steel pipes or PCCPs (pre-stressed concrete cylinder pipes) have been widely used for sea water transport systems. However, de-bonding of linings and oxidation of PCCP could make problems in aged NPPs (nuclear power plants). Recently at several NPPs in the United States, the PCCPs or lined carbon steel pipes of the sea water or raw water system have been replaced with HDPE (high density polyethylene) pipes, which have outstanding resistance to oxidation and seismic loading. ASME B&PV Code committee developed Code Case N-755, which describes rules for the construction of buried Safety Class 3 polyethylene pressure piping systems. Although US NRC permitted HDPE materials for Class 3 buried piping, their permission was limited to only 10-year operation because of several concerns including the quality of fusion zone of HDPE. In this study, various requirements for fusion qualification test of HDPE and some regulatory issues raised during HDPE application review in foreign NPPs are introduced.

시공 편의성 및 경제성 측면에서 장점이 있는 PE배관은 국내 도시가스 분야에서 지하 매설용으로 많이 사용되고 있다. 이러한 PE배관은 유지·보수 공사 중 가스 흐름을 차단하기 위해 많은 현장에서 스퀴즈오프를 활용하고 있다. 스퀴즈오프란 PE배관을 압착하여 유체 흐름을 차단하는 방법을 말하며 물리적인 힘에 의해 배관의 변형이 일어나는 공사의 특성상 손상이 발생할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 스퀴즈오프에 따른 PE배관의 손상방지를 위해 압축률에 따른 손상평가 및 기밀시험을 통해 적정한 압축의 범위와 사용 압력, 관경 등의 스퀴즈오프 작업 절차에 반영될 주요 사항들을 도출하였다. PE배관 손상평가를 위한 압축 실험은 압축률(20%~40%)과 사용압력 (2.8kPa, 25kPa, 70kPa), 관경(63mm, 90mm, 110mm)을 변화시키면서 실시하였다. 압축률에 따른 손상평가 결과, 과도한 압축에 따른 영향을 분석하기 위한 압축률인 45%(110mm), 73%(63mm)인 배관에서 파손이 발생하였다. 또한, 스퀴즈오프 작업 중 기밀시험은 Ar(아르곤)을 이용하여 진행되었으며, 실험결과 70kPa의 조건과 110mm 의 배관 조건에서 누출이 발생하였다. 본 연구 결과, 기밀유지를 위한 스퀴즈오프는 25kPa이하의 사용압력 및 90mm 배관을 초과하지 않는 범위의 배관에서 작업을 실시해야하며 PE배관의 손상방지를 위한 적정 압축률은 30%임을 확인하였다. 이와같은 내용을 도시가스용 PE배관의 스퀴즈오프 작업 절차에 반영할 예정이다.

A flow and low temperature of deep seawater the biofouling properties in a seawater environment of different materials, such as a steel pipe, polyethylene pipe, and nylon net, used for ocean industries. Experiments in a real sea environment were performed to grasp the quantitative and qualitative biofouling from diatoms attached to materials by measuring the Chlorophyll-a density. Experimental samples were placed under five types of ocean environmental conditions and analyzed every month for five months. It is shown that the biofouling by diatoms was strongly affected by the seawater temperature for all of the experimental samples. It was found that diatoms mainly adhered to the nylon net, while crustaceans prefer polyethylene, under a high temperature condition. It is believed that the biofouling properties are strongly related to the surface roughness of a material. The biofouling under the low temperature condition of deep seawater was rare and stable for the experimental periods. The inside of a pipe conveying deep seawater can be presumed to remain clear without biofouling on the condition of a flow and low temperature of deep seawater.

The effects of spot heating for growing the strawberry cultivated in a plastic greenhouse during the winter that were estimated in Nonsan strawberry experiment station located in Chungnam. The temperature of water for heating was controlled by a electric hot water boiler and kept at the range of $22{\sim}24^{\circ}C$. Heating pipes were set up in root zone for root zone heating and very close to crown for crown heating. Spot heating effects were estimated by applying spot heating system in three test factors of heating root zone, crown only and crown plus root zone. The material for crown heating pipe was white low density polyethylene and the nominal diameter of that pipe was 16 mm. The material for root zone heating pipe was flexible stainless steel and the nominal diameter of that pipe was 15A. The flow rate of heating water circulation was 480 L/h and water circulation lasted for all day long. Temperatures, harvest yield by test beds were surveyed from Nov. 10, 2013 to Apr. 29, 2014. The temperature of crown spot for crown heating bed was at the range of $13.0{\sim}17.0^{\circ}C$ during the night and that of crown spot in control bed was at the range of $8.0{\sim}14.0^{\circ}C$. Also, the temperature of root zone for root zone heating bed was at the range of $18{\sim}21.0^{\circ}C$ and that of root zone in control bed was at the range of $13.0{\sim}15.0^{\circ}C$. The cumulative yield growth rate in earlier harvest period (from Dec. 20 to Mar. 15) of crown heating bed was 43% compared with that of control bed and the cumulative yield of crown plus root zone heating bed was 39 % and that of root zone heating bed was 39 %.

Aim of this study was to investigate biofilms attached in pipeline of water reuse from the MBR system treating sewage without chlorination in correlation to the outflow water quality. Two general pipe materials: polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polyethylene (PE) were employed in the experiment. The peak growths were found at week 4 in both pipes. The maximum biofilms in PE pipe was $33mgVSS/cm^2$ with the growth rate of $4.75mgVSS/cm^2-d$ which was significant higher than that of PVC pipe. Biofilms examined by PCR-DGGE technique revealed five bacterial species in PE biofilms namely Sinorhizobium medicae WSM419, Sinorhizobium fredii NGR234, Geobacter sp. M18, Parachlamydia acanthamoebae UV-7, and Mycobacterium chubuense NBB4. The VSS concentrations in outflow had directly correlated to the biofilm attachment and detachment. High COD concentrations of outflow appeared during biofilm detaching phase. In summary, water quality of reuse water corresponded to the biofilms attachment and detachment in the pipeline.

폐폴리에틸렌 필름을 재활용하기 위하여 폐폴리에틸렌과 비산재를 사용하여 콤파운드를 제조하였다. 실험에 사용한 고분자는 생활쓰레기에서 분리수거한 폴리에틸렌(PE)과 포장용 필름을 생산하는 공장에서 발생하는 스크랩에서 얻어지는 저밀도폴리에틸렌(LDPE)과 선형저밀도폴리에틸렌(LLDPE)이다. 폐폴리에틸렌의 물리적 성질을 개량시키기 위하여 화력발전소 굴뚝에서 포집한 석탄재와 생활쓰레기 소각로굴뚝에서 얻어지는 비산재를 사용하였다. 발전소 석탄재를 투입하면 재활용 LDPE와 LLDPE 콤파운드의 인장강도는 감소하고 굴곡모듈러스는 증가하였다. 역청탄재를 혼합한 경우에 비하여 무연탄재를 투입한 LLDPE 콤파운드의 인장강도와 굴곡강도가 약간 높았으며, 이는 무연탄재가 다소 많은 량의 미연소 탄소를 가지기 때문으로 사료된다. 생활쓰레기에서 얻어진 PE 단독에 소각로 비산재를 투입하면 인장강도와 굴곡강도가 모두 증가하였다. 이와 같은 소각로 비산재에 의한 상승효과는 생활쓰레기 PE에 포장용 필름 스크랩의 LDPE를 섞게 되면 Filler 입자가 LDPE의 결정화를 방해하기 때문에 상쇄되는 현상이 관찰되었다. 소각로 비산재를 혼합하여 생활쓰레기 PE를 재활용한 콤파운드는 하수관 등을 제조하는 원료로 사용이 가능하다. 본 연구결과를 폐플라스틱의 재활용에 적용시키면 폐기물처리 비용을 절감하고 환경보존과 자원절약에 기여할 수 있다.
