상수도 관망의 운영 단계에서 비정상상황의 발생은 필연적으로 발생하며, 비정상상황 발생 시상수도 관망 내 설치된 제수 밸브의 차폐를 통해 해당 구역의 격리 후 복구를 진행한다. 일반적으로 제수밸브를 통해 격리될 수 있는 최소 구역은 세그먼트로 정의하고, 제수밸브 설치 시 세그먼트의 격리로 인한 상수도 관망의 피해를 줄일 수 있도록 위치를 선정한다. 제수 밸브를 통한 격리 시 상수도 관망의 흐름 경로와 유향, 유속의 변화와 같은 수리적 특성 변화가 불가피하다. 지난 '19년도에 발생했던 3건의 수질 사고가 수리적 특성 변화에서 기인했던 것을 고려할 때, 제수밸브 차폐로 상수도 관망의 부분 격리 시 발생 가능한 수리적 특성 변화에서도 수질 사고가 야기될 가능성이 있다. 기존 제수밸브 위치를 결정한 연구들을 보면, 대부분 제수밸브 위치에 따라 결정된 세그먼트의 격리 시 수압 저감을 고려하여, 격리 시에도 상수도 관망의 성능을 최대한 유지할 수 있도록 결정하는 것이 일반적이다. 다만, 앞서 언급한 것과 같이 격리 시 발생 가능한 수리적 특성 변화로, 수압 저감 외에도 예기치 못한 수질 사고의 발생 원인이 되기도 한다. 이에 따라 제수밸브의 최적위치를 결정할 때 수리적 특성 변화를 고려해야 예지치 못한 2차 피해를 줄일 수 있을 것이다. 이에 본 연구는 그래프이론을 활용하여 격리 전후 관로의 유향 변화를 최소화하도록 제수밸브 최적 위치 결정하는 방법론을 제안한다. 그래프이론은 망의 형태를 가지는 상수도 관망의 연결성을 정량화할 수 있으며, 본 연구에서는 수리학적 거리 인자를 적용하여 격리 시에도 각 수요절점이 최소 경로를 확보할 수 있도록 유도하였다. 해당 방법론은 가상 관망에 적용하여 수리학적 거리 인자에 따른 설계와 기존 상수도 관망 성능 극대화 설계 안을 비교하였다. 또한 수질 사고 위험도 인자를 정의하여 해당 인자에 따른 각 설계 안의 효과를 분석하였다. 본 연구는 향후 수질 사고를 고려한 밸브 시스템의 설계 및 운영에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
For Safety Assisted Engineering works, real-time simulators have emerged as a mandatory tool among all the key actors involved in the nuclear industry (utilities, designers and safety authorities). EDF, Electricité de France, as the leading worldwide nuclear power plant operator, has a crucial need for efficient and updated simulation tools for training, operating and safety analysis support. This paper will present the work performed at EDF/DT to develop a new generation of engineering simulator to fulfil these tasks. The project is called SiRENE, which is the acronym of Re-hosted Engineering Simulator in French. The project has been economically challenging. Therefore, to benefit from existing tools and experience, the SiRENE project combines: - A part of the process issued from the operating fleet training full-scope simulator. - An improvement of the simulator prediction reliability with the integration of High-Fidelity models, used in Safety Analysis. These High-Fidelity models address Nuclear Steam Supply System code, with CATHARE thermal-hydraulics system code and neutronics, with COCCINELLE code. - And taking advantage of the last generation and improvements of instructor station. The intensive and challenging uses of the new SiRENE engineering simulator are also discussed. The SiRENE simulator has to address different topics such as verification and validation of operating procedures, identification of safety paths, tests of I&C developments or modifications, tests on hydraulics system components (pump, valve etc.), support studies for Probabilistic Safety Analysis (PSA). etc. It also emerges that SiRENE simulator is a valuable tool for self-training of the newcomers in EDF nuclear engineering centers. As a modifiable tool and thanks to a skillful team managing the SiRENE project, specific and adapted modifications can be taken into account very quickly, in order to provide the best answers for our users' specific issues. Finally, the SiRENE simulator, and the associated configurations, has been distributed among the different engineering centers at EDF (DT in Lyon, DIPDE in Marseille and CNEPE in Tours). This distribution highlights a strong synergy and complementarity of the different engineering institutes at EDF, working together for a safer and a more profitable operating fleet.
The wall shear stress in the vicinity of end-to end anastomoses under steady flow conditions was measured using a flush-mounted hot-film anemometer(FMHFA) probe. The experimental measurements were in good agreement with numerical results except in flow with low Reynolds numbers. The wall shear stress increased proximal to the anastomosis in flow from the Penrose tubing (simulating an artery) to the PTFE: graft. In flow from the PTFE graft to the Penrose tubing, low wall shear stress was observed distal to the anastomosis. Abnormal distributions of wall shear stress in the vicinity of the anastomosis, resulting from the compliance mismatch between the graft and the host artery, might be an important factor of ANFH formation and the graft failure. The present study suggests a correlation between regions of the low wall shear stress and the development of anastomotic neointimal fibrous hyperplasia(ANPH) in end-to-end anastomoses. 30523 T00401030523 ^x Air pressure decay(APD) rate and ultrafiltration rate(UFR) tests were performed on new and saline rinsed dialyzers as well as those roused in patients several times. C-DAK 4000 (Cordis Dow) and CF IS-11 (Baxter Travenol) reused dialyzers obtained from the dialysis clinic were used in the present study. The new dialyzers exhibited a relatively flat APD, whereas saline rinsed and reused dialyzers showed considerable amount of decay. C-DAH dialyzers had a larger APD(11.70

In this paper, the piezoelectric-hydraulic pump with a piezostack actuator as a driving source has been designed, fabricated, and evaluated for its application to UAV's brake system. The performance requirements of the piezoelectric-hydraulic pump were decided based on the requirements analysis of the target aircraft brake system. The geometric design of the piezoelectric-hydraulic pump to meet the performance requirements of the pump was conducted, and all components of the pump including the spring sheet type check valves were machined with close tolerance. By constructing a test apparatus for the performance check of the piezoelectric-hydraulic pump, the performance characteristics of the pump, such as the outlet flow rate for load-free condition and the outlet oil pressure for closed loop condition, have been evaluated. It has been found by the performance test result that the developed piezoelectric-hydraulic pump satisfies the design requirements effectively.
This research was focused to apply response surface methodology for optimization of bio-methane production by biogas upgrading process. Methane concentration(Y1) and methane efficiency(Y2) on biogas upgrading process were mathematically described as being modeled by the use of the Box-Behnken design on response surface methodology. The results of ANOVA(analysis of variance) about models, the probability value of the methane concentration and methane recovery response surface model are 0.0001 and 0.0001, respectively and coefficient of determination(
The worldwide semi-conductor market has been growing for a long time. Manufacturing lines of semi-conductors need to handle several types of toxic gases. In particular, they need to be controlled accurately in real time. This type of toxic gas control system consists of many different kinds of parts, e.g., fittings, valves, tubes, filters, and regulators. These parts obviously need to be manufactured precisely and be corrosion resistant because they have to control high pressure gases for long periods without any leakage. For this, surface machining and hardening technologies of the metal block and metal gasket need to be studied. This type of study depends on various factors, such as geometric shapes, part materials, surface hardening method, and gas pressures. This paper presents strong concerns on a series of simulation processes regarding the differences between the inlet and outlet pressures considering several different fluid velocity, tube diameters, and V-angles. Indeed, this study will very helpful to determine the important design factors as well as precisely manufacture these parts. The EP (Electrolytic Polishing) process was used to obtain cleaner surfaces, and hardness tests were carried out after the EP process.
Objectives : We developed and proposed a guideline for safety and performance assessment of electric cupping apparatus(Class 2 medical device). Methods : We drafted the guideline for safety and performance assessment of electric cupping apparatus by referring the existing standards and guideline, based on online questionnaire for Korean medical doctors and measurement data from commercially available products. Physical dimension of cups and inner vacuum pressure were acquired for the measurement in order to achieve the purposes. Results : This guideline only can be applied to electric cupping apparatus for enhancing blood circulation by employing negative pressure generated by electricity. Seven items of appearance and label, operation test of pump, variation test of input electricity, vacuum level test, vacuum sustain test, cup-size dependent test, noise level test are suggested for evaluation subjects and methods required for electric cupping devices. Requirements for the design and development of electric cupping devices are suggested: vacuum level indicator, vacuum generation rate, pressure control, valve detachment stability, cup comparability, safety measure, surge protection, user friendliness, instruction for use (IFU). Conclusions : We proposed a guideline for safety and performance assessment of electric cupping apparatus to improve the quality of relating products and aid the commercialization of them, by aiming higher industrial competitiveness of the medical device sectors in Korea. Discussion with related institutes such as industry, academy and government is further required. Public hearings also need to be held prior to the establishment of a final guideline and standard.
The responsibility of the vehicle holding device (VHD) is to hold the launch vehicle while it is stayed on launch pad and release the holding mechanism to allow a lift-off of launch vehicle at a moment of lift-off. During a release of the holding mechanism, in order to prevent the Ka doing a doing a doing mode which is vertical oscillation of entire liquid propellant and very severe for vehicle structure, gradual release of holding force is required. Also, a release operation of all 4 VHD should be synchronized very precisely. In this study, to comply the "gradual release and synchronized operation requirement", concept of VHD hydraulic system using an accumulator, pyro valve and orifice to control speed of hydraulic cylinder is proposed instead of using complicated hydraulic components. Then through multi-body dynamic analysis and computational hydraulic analysis, a size of orifice to meet a target speed of hydraulic cylinder is calculated. Through this study, simple and reliable VHD hydraulic system complying requirements is designed.
In this study, the effects of various disk shapes of hydrant on the pressure drop are experimentally and numerically analyzed. The test methods for measuring pressure drop of hydrant are comply with standard of Underwriters Laboratory (UL). The hydrant as used in this study has one inlet, diameter 150 mm, and three outlet, 114.3 mm diameter for one outlet and 63.5 mm diameter for the others. The pressure of the hydrant are measured in the range 760 L/min~2,270 L/min for 63.5 mm outlet and 3,030 L/min~6,060 L/min for 114.3 mm outlet. Also, the numerical results of pressure drop are compared with the experiments to verify the accuracy and to analyze the of various valve shape of hydrant on the pressure drop. The engineering parameters, flow coefficients, are reduced from 181.57 to 136.35 (
