In this paper, we present the fabrication and characteristic analysis of Sagnac interferometric optical fiber senior(OFS) system for detecting pulsed ultrasonic signal in underwater. The hollow cylindrical mandrel wound round by single mode optical fiber is used as sensing component. The ultrasonic signal source is simulated by the PZT actuator operated by an function generator. The distance dependency of the OFS's sensitivity was measured. The sensitivity has been shown to be inversely propotional to the square-root of distance between ultrasonic source and sensing component. It has also been shown that the OFS could detect the signals less affected by ultrasonic path comparing to conventional acousto-electric sensor. and accurate location of ultrasonic signal could be carried out using two OFSs.

This objective of this study was to investigate the degradation characteristics of phenol, a refractory substance, by using a submerged dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma reactor. To indirectly determine the concentration of active species produced in the DBD plasma, the dissolved ozone was measured. To investigate the phenol degradation characteristics, the phenol and chemical oxygen demand (COD) concentrations were evaluated based on pH and the discharge power. The dissolved ozone was measured based on the air flow rate and power discharged. The highest dissolved ozone concentration was recorded when the injected air flow rate was 5 L/min. At a discharge power of 40W as compared to 70W, the dissolved ozone was approximately 2.7 - 6.5 times higher. In regards to phenol degradation, the final degradation rate was highest at about 74.06%, when the initial pH was 10. At a discharged power of 40W, the rate of phenol decomposition was observed to be approximately 1.25 times higher compared to when the discharged power was 70W. It was established that the phenol degradation reaction was a primary reaction, and when the discharge power was 40W as opposed to 70W, the reaction rate constant(k) was approximately 1.72 times higher.

EDTA contained in decontamination wastes can cause complexation of radioactive captions resulting from its various treatment process such as chemical precipitation, and ion exchange etc. It might also import for elevated teachability and higher mobility of cationic contaminants from conditioned wastes such as waste immobilized in cement or other matrices. Therefore, various cheated or unchlelated EDTAS must be treated to environmentally safe materials.(omitted)

The buoyancy and initial momentum fluxes make near-field dominated by buoyant jet when thermal discharge releases underwater. In order to estimate prediction capabilities of those near-field phenomena, non-hydrostatic RANS applied CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamic) model was used. Condition of model was composed based on past laboratory experiments. Numerical simulations carried out for the horizontal buoyant jet in the stagnant flow and vertical buoyant jet into crossflow. The results of simulation are compared with the terms of trajectory and dilution rate of laboratory experiments and analytic model(CorJET) results. CFD model showed a good agreement with them. CFD model can be appropriate for assessment of submerged thermal discharge effect because CFD model can resolve the limitations of near-field analytic model and far-field quasi 3D hydrodynamic model. The accuracy and capability of the CFD model is reviewed in this study. If the computational efficiency get improved, CFD model can be widely applied for simulation of transport and diffusion of submerged thermal discharge.

Electric breakdown in the liquid produces a spark channel. The energy input into the channel causes expansion of a vapor gas cavity. If the power of the discharge is high enough, this expansion is fast enough to produce a shock wave which propagates through the liquid to the subject of destruction. We focused our attention on the correlation between electric parameters and the characteristics of the flash caused by point to-point electrode discharge in the water. By varying firing voltage and gap length, we obtained the features of the flash : amplitude, pulse width, and so on. In this paper, We have known that there is a concrete interrelation between underwater firing voltage and photodiode output.

Submarines, which require a high degree of survivability, are among the most critical combat weapon systems in military strategic assets. Conventional submarines need air to operate their propulsion systems. Exhaust gases released into the water during snorkel navigation heat the surrounding fluid, producing a temperature wake. This wake, in turn, reduces the submarine's survivability. In this study, we conducted a preliminary experiment on the temperature traces formed by an underwater submarine's waste discharge. For this purpose, we collected propulsion system and navigation condition data from domestically introduced submarines and developed an experimental system to measure the temperature traces. As a result, we observed that high-temperature bubbles injected into the tank broke down into smaller sizes, and their temperature dropped to levels similar to the surrounding fluid. This observation was confirmed using a thermocouple sensor. Consequently, the thermal imaging system designed to measure the temperature trace of the water's surface did not detect any significant temperature traces.

A flotation process has a shorter processing time and needs less space than a sedimentation process. Dissolved air flotation process (DAF) is an efficient flotation method and used in a conventional wastewater treatment process. However, DAF requires the circulation of water containing compressed air and requires expensive installation and operation cost. Plasma Air Flotation (PAF) process is able to float flocs by micro bubbles generated from underwater plasma without the circulation of bubbly water and additional saturators. Therefore, PAF can be an alternative solution overcoming economic barriers. In this study, Humic acid removal efficiency by PAF process was compared with that of sedimentation process. 44.67% and 87.3% reduction rate based on UV 254 absorbance has been measured in sedimentation and PAF respectively. In particular, PAF in the flocculation zone can dramatically remove humic acid from water. In flocculation zone, PAF can separate organic matters but sedimentation cannot.

In this paper we describe discharge characteristics between needle-to-plane electrodes in water in various conditions such as different impulse voltages, polarities and water resistivities. Streamer corona is initiated at the tip of needle electrode and propagates toward plane electrode, and it experiences the final jump across the test gap. The branched channels of streamer coronas for lower water resistivities are much thicker and brighter than those for higher water resistivities at the same level of applied voltage. The negative streamer coronas not only have more branches but also widely spread out compared to the positive streamer coronas. A number of pulse-like currents ranging from some hundreds mA to a few A after streamer corona onset were produced with discharge developments. The time-lags-to breakdown for the positive polarity were remarkably shorter than those for the negative polarity. The pre-breakdown energy supplied into the test gap was inversely proportional to water resistivity.
