원자력 발전소의 주급수 유량은 원자로 열출력 산출에 사용되는 중요한 변수로서 , 노심관리 뿐만 아니라 원자로 안전 운전에도 중요하며, 발전소 출력에 직접적인 영향을 미친다. 원자력발전소의 주급수 유량은 1% 의 허용오차로 설계되어 있으나, 사용년수의 증가 및 운전조건의 영향 둥으로 정확도의 유지가 어려운 실정이다. 주급수 유량을 정확도 $\pm$0.5% 이내로 측정한다면 1000 MW 급 원자력 발전소에서 최대 10MW 의 전기출력 복구가 가능하며, 이를 위해 주급수 유량 측정 설비의 정확도 검증과 보정을 할 수 있는 정확한 유량 측정법의 개발이 절실하다. 본 연구에서는 화학 추적자 방법에 의한 정밀 유량 측정기술을 개발하여, 원자력 발전소 주급수 계통의 유량 측정에 사용되고 있는 벤츄리(venturi), 노즐(nozzle), 오리피스(orifice) 등의 유량검증에 활용함으로서 발전소의 안전성을 유지하면서 동시에 출력을 극대화하는 것을 목표로 하여 추적자 이용 유량 검증기를 설계 제작하였으며 그 정확도와 유효성에 대한 실험적 검토를 하였다. 본 연구에서 사용한 추적자 방법은 유량 번동에 좋은 응답성을 보이고 있으며, 유량 측정에 있어서도 정확도 $\pm$ 0.5 % 이내의 매우 신뢰성 있는 측정이 가능하다.

In this study, an automatic spraying lubrication system was developed to maintain the cleanliness of the switchgear when detecting the movement of the track through the switchgear. To develop this system, an air tank, valve block, and spray nozzle were designed, and the safety was secured through the pressure test of the prototype after designing the air tank. Furthermore, the environmental aspect was considered by minimizing the use of lubricant by enabling the mixing of air and lubricant through the production of a valve using the Venturi principle. The performance evaluation was conducted by implementing (producing) the injection system, and the product developed in this study was deemed installable in actual switchgear. It is expected that the proposed system will enable the maintenance of the cleanliness of the track during switching and reduce faults and malfunctions caused by switchgear defects.

A butterfly throttle valve has been used to control the brake power of an SI engine by controlling the mass flow-rate of intake air in the induction system. However, the valve has a serious effect on the volumetric efficiency of the engine due to the pressure resistance in the induction system. In this study, a new intake air controlling valve named "Variable Geometry Throttle Valve(VGTV)" is proposed to minimize the pressure resistance in the intake system of an SI engine. The design concept of VGTV is on the application of a venturi nozzle in the air flow path. Instead of change of the butterfly valve angle in the airflow field, the throat width of the VGTV valve is varied with the operating condition of an SI engine. In this numerical study, CFD(computational fluid dynamics) simulation technique was incorporated to have an aerodynamics performance analysis of the two air flow controlling systems; butterfly valve and VGTV and compared the results to know which system has lower pressure resistance in the air intake system. From the result, it was found that VGTV has lower pressure resistance than the butterfly valve. Especially VGTV is effective on the low and medium load operating condition of an SI engine. The averaged pressure resistance of VGTV is about 49.0% lower than the value of the conventional butterfly throttle valve.

This study describes to analyze foam mixing characteristics in steady state to enhance the performance of proportioner for foam system designed to accurately proportion a foam liquid concentrate into a water stream up to constant concentration. The proportioner developed is experimentally evaluated in performance evaluation system consisted of a pump, tanks, pressure gauges, flow meters, a nozzle. As a result, the foam mixing performance of the line proportioner is found to increase with increased the water flow rate due to the venturi effect and with increased the cross-sectional area of the orifice and is analysed with 3 % in the error rate of $\pm4%$. For the pressure proportioner, the foam mixing performance is analyzed to increase with increased the water flow rate and with increased the inlet pressure and is analysed with 3% in the error rate of $\pm2%$.
