In this study, the physical properties and fracture characteristics according to the tensile load are evaluated on the materials of the polymeric filler and carbon fiber-based composite sleeve technique. The polymeric filler and the composite sleeve technique are applied to areas where the pipe body thickness is reduced due to corrosion in large-diameter water pipes. First, the tensile strength of the polymeric filler was 161.48~240.43 kg_f/cm², and the tensile strength of the polyurea polymeric filler was relatively higher than that of the epoxy. However, the tensile strength of the polymeric filler is relatively very low compared to ductile cast iron pipes(4,300 kg_f/cm²<) or steel pipes(4,100 kg_f/cm²). Second, the tensile strength of glass fiber, which is mainly used in composite sleeves, is 3,887.0 kg_f/cm², and that of carbon fiber is up to 5,922.5 kg_f/cm². The tensile strengths of glass and carbon fiber are higher than ductile cast iron pipe or steel pipe. Third, when reinforcing the hemispherical simulated corrosion shape of the ductile cast iron pipe and the steel pipe with a polymeric filler, there was an effect of increasing the ultimate tensile load by 1.04 to 1.06 times, but the ultimate load was 37.7 to 53.7% compared to the ductile cast iron or steel specimen without corrosion damage. It was found that the effect on the reinforcement of the corrosion damaged part was insignificant. Fourth, the composite sleeve using carbon fiber showed an ultimate load of 1.10(0.61T, 1,821.0 kg_f) and 1.02(0.60T, 2,290.7 kg_f) times higher than the ductile cast iron pipe(1,657.83 kg_f) and steel pipe(2,236.8 kg_f), respectively. When using a composite sleeve such as fiber, the corrosion damage part of large-diameter water pipes can be reinforced with same level as the original pipe, and the supply stability can be secured through accident prevention.

Dynamic analysis of a concrete pipes armed with Silica ($SiO_2$) nanoparticles subjected to earthquake load is presented. The structure is modeled with first order shear deformation theory (FSDT) of cylindrical shells. Mori-Tanaka approach is applied for obtaining the equivalent material properties of the structure considering agglomeration effects. Based on energy method and Hamilton's principle, the motion equations are derived. Utilizing the harmonic differential quadrature method (HDQM) and Newmark method, the dynamic displacement of the structure is calculated for the Kobe earthquake. The effects of different parameters such as geometrical parameters of pipe, boundary conditions, $SiO_2$ volume percent and agglomeration are shown on the dynamic response of the structure. The results indicate that reinforcing the concrete pipes by $SiO_2$ nanoparticles leads to a reduction in the displacement of the structure during an earthquake.

This paper deals with the stability analysis of concrete pipes mixed with nanoparticles conveying fluid. Instead of cement, the $Fe_2O_3$ nanoparticles are used in construction of the concrete pipe. The Navier-Stokes equations are used for obtaining the radial force of the fluid. Mori-Tanaka model is used for calculating the effective material properties of the concrete $pipe-Fe_2O_3$ nanoparticles considering the agglomeration of the nanoparticles. The first order shear deformation theory (FSDT) is used for mathematical modeling of the structure. The motion equations are derived based on energy method and Hamilton's principal. An exact solution is used for stability analysis of the structure. The effects of fluid, volume percent and agglomeration of $Fe_2O_3$ nanoparticles, magnetic field and geometrical parameters of pipe are shown on the stability behaviour of system. Results show that considering the agglomeration of $Fe_2O_3$ nanoparticles, the critical fluid velocity of the concrete pipe is decreased.

Aerobic CH₄ oxidation is an important CH₄ sink in landfills. To investigate the distribution and community diversity of methanotrophs and link with soil characteristics and operational parameters (e.g., concentrations of O₂, CH₄), cover soil samples were collected at different locations and depths from the Mengzi semi-aerobic landfill (SAL) in Yunnan Province of southern China. Specific PCR followed by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis and realtime PCR were used to examine methanotrophs in the landfill cover soils. The results showed that different locations did harbor distinct methanotroph communities. Methanotrophs were more abundant in areas near the venting pipes because of the higher O₂ concentrations. The depth of 20-25 cm, where the ratio of the CH₄ to O₂ was within the range from 1.3 to 8.6, was more conducive to the growth of CH₄-oxidizing bacteria. Type II methanotrophs dominated in all samples compared with Type I methanotrophs, as evidenced by the high ratio of Type II to Type I methanotrophic copy numbers (from 1.76 to 11.60). The total copy numbers of methanotrophs detected were similar to other ecosystems, although the CH₄ concentration was much higher in SAL cover soil. Methylobacter and Methylocystis were the most abundant Type I and Type II methanotrophs genera, respectively, in the Mengzi SAL. The results suggested that SALs could provide a special environment with both high concentrations of CH₄ and O₂ for methanotrophs, especially around the vertical venting pipes.

본 논문은 화재의 발생 및 전파를 억제하기 위해 방수총의 내부 유체유동특성을 파악하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 본 연구를 위해 개발 중인 워터노즐을 모델링하였고, 필드실험에서 얻은 경계조건(펌프의 가압력 : 4 bar, 방수총 출구압력 : 대기압)을 적용하였으며, 유동에 대한 운동량 지배방정식을 이용하여 방수총 내부 유동에 대한 속도 및 압력분포를 얻었다. 서브파이프의 유무와 길이를 기준으로 방수총 출구의 노즐에서의 성능 특성에 영향을 미치는 2가지 주요 인자로 고려하였다. 해석 결과 기존 모델의 경우에는 서브파이프의 길이가 변하더라도 방수총의 출구영역에서 성능특성에 그다지 영향을 미치지 않았다. 이에 반해서, 서브파이프를 단관형으로 교체한 경우에는 서브파이프의 입구에서 역류가 발생하였고, 이를 제거하기 위해 서브파이프의 길이를 2배로 변화시켜 역류를 제거할 수 있었다.

T-junction structures play an important role in nuclear power plant systems. Research on liquid entrainment is mostly based on small-scale branch pipes (d/D ≤ 0.2) and attention paid to large-scale branch pipes (0.33 < d/D < 1) is insufficient. Accordingly, this study implements a series of experiments on the liquid entrainment of T-junction with different angles (32.2°,47.9°,62.3°,90°) through a large-scale branch (d/D = 0.675). The onset liquid entrainment is related to the gas phase Froude number Fr_g, the dimensionless gas chamber height h_b/d and the branch pipe angle 𝜃. As Fr_g increases, h_b/d also rises. With a constant h_b/d, the onset liquid entrainment changes from droplets entrainment by the gas phase to that by the rising liquid film. The steady-state liquid entrainment is related to w_3g, h/d and 𝜃. With constant w_3g and h/d, the branch quality grows as the branch angle increases. With a certain h/d, the branch quality increases, as the w_3g number increases.

Fluid velocity analysis on the instability of pipes reinforced by silica nanoparticles ($SiO_2$) is presented in this paper. Mori-Tanaka model is used for obtaining the effective materials properties of the nanocomposite structure considering agglomeration effects. The well known Navier-Stokes equation is used for obtaining the applied force of fluid to pipe. Based on the Reddy higher-order shear deformation theory, the motion equations are derived based on energy method and Hamilton's principal. The frequency and critical fluid velocity of structure are calculated using differential quadrature method (DQM) so that the effects of different parameters such as volume fractions of SiO2 nanoparticles, SiO2 nanoparticles agglomeration, boundary conditions and geometrical parameters of pipes are considered on the nonlinear vibration and instability of the pipe. Results indicate that increasing the volume fractions of SiO2 nanoparticles, the frequency and critical fluid velocity of the structure are increased. Furthermore, considering SiO2 nanoparticles agglomeration, decreases the frequency and critical fluid velocity of the pipe.

Sludge transporting pipes in wastewater treatment plant are easy to be clogged with struvite when the digested sludge and dehydrated filtrate are transported through the pipes, which lowers the efficiency of sludge treatment system in a WWTP. pH is one of the most important factors in struvite formation, and carbon dioxide separated from biogas can be used to control pH and struvite formation. By controlling pH, the amount of dehydrating agent can be reduced by about 10%, which saves the budget for facility maintenance. As $CO_2$ is reused and dehydrating chemicals are saved, the approach can contribute to global warming gas reduction.

In an open-pool type research reactor with a downward forced flow in the core, pipes can be under sub-atmospheric pressure because of the large pressure drop at the reactor core in the atmospheric pool. Sub-atmospheric pressure can result in air inflow into the pipe from the pressure difference between the atmosphere and the inside of the pipe, which in a postulated pipe break scenario can lead to the breakdown of the cooling pump. In this study, a plant-scale experiment was conducted to study air inflow in large piping systems by considering the actual operational conditions of an advanced research reactor. The air inflow rate was measured, and the entrained air was visualized to investigate the behavior of air inflow and flow regime depending on the pipe break size. In addition, the developed drift-flux model for a large vertical pipe with a diameter of 600 mm was compared with other correlations. The flow regime transition in a large vertical pipe under downward flow was also studied using the newly developed drift-flux model. Consequently, the characteristics of two-phase flow in a large vertical pipe were found to differ from those in small vertical pipes where liquid recirculation was not dominant.

근대건축으로 알려진 조선통감부 자리의 콘크리트와 토관 및 벽돌을 대상으로 3시기로 세분하여 물리화학적 특성과 평가를 검토하였다. 콘크리트는 모두 비슷한 가비중과 흡수율을 보였으며 다량의 골재와 석영, 장석, 방해석 및 포틀란다이트가 검출되었다. 벽돌의 공극률은 1907년의 것이 1910년 및 1950년 벽돌보다 높았다. 토관도 유사하나 초기의 것이 보다 치밀한 것으로 나타났다. 벽돌과 토관은 암적색에서 암갈색을 띠며 많은 균열과 기공이 관찰되나, 상대적으로 토관의 기질이 균질하다. 벽돌에서는 석영, 장석 및 적철석이 검출되었으며, 토관에서는 석영 및 장석과 뮬라이트가 확인되는 것으로 보아, 모두 1,000~1,100℃의 소성온도를 거친 것으로 해석된다. 콘크리트는 유사한 CaO 함량을 보이나, 벽돌과 토관은 1907년 시료에서 SiO₂는 낮고 Al₂O₃가 높다. 그러나 이들은 유사한 지구화학적 거동특성을 갖는 등 성인적 동질성이 높다. 콘크리트 기초의 초음파속도와 반발경도는 잔존상태에 따라 다르나 물성은 다소 낮았다. 이를 일축압축강도로 환산하면 1차 증축구역이 평균 45.30 및 46.33 kgf/cm²로 가장 높고, 2차 증축구역이 가장 낮은 평균치(20.05 및 24.76 kgf/cm²)를 보였다. 특히 CaO 함량과 흡수율이 작을수록 초음파속도와 반발경도가 높았다. 조선통감부 건축에 활용한 콘크리트는 시기별로 비슷한 배합특성과 비교적 일정한 규격이 있었던 것으로 보인다. 벽돌과 토관은 거의 동일한 점토질 원료를 사용하여 유사한 제작과정을 거친 것으로 해석된다.
