The experimental results of sodium-water reaction noise measurement in frequency range $1{/sim}200kHz$ are presented. The experiments of noise generation under the condition of sodium test facility, water leak rate $0.01{\sim}1.2g/s$ and temperature of sodium $250{\sim}500^{\circ}C$, were carried out. From theoretical study it is noted that the noise resonant attenuation on hydrogen bubbles in liquid sodium plays the significant role for leak noise spectra formation. Interaction of leak noise and hydrogen bubbles in sodium being accompanied by thermal, emission and viscosity energy dissipation was studied. Acoustic noise spectra were investigated from point of view of water leak detection in sodium/water steam generator. The results of sodium-water reaction noise absorption on hydrogen bubbles in liquid sodium by temperature $250{\sim}500^{\circ}C$ are presented. The theoretical model of noise absorption using the coefficients of attenuation was developed. From calculation the coefficients of attenuation were estimated.

Field measurement data on water leakage are not readily available and it causes inaccurate assessment of water demand and poor supply planning. In this study, the procedure for leakage detection and unaccounted water calculation is proposed and applied to a city. The city has suffered from the significant amount of leak water and the financial loss as a result. Measurements were made for pressure and flow at 18 locations before and after the repair. Repair of the leakage increased pressure up to $2.0kgf/cm^2$ and saved 17.1% of water supply from distribution reservoirs. Monetary value of annual water savings for the entire city amounts to 1 billion won. It is believed that leakage detection and data analysis conducted in this study will contribute to the change of current practice and to the establishment of better water supply management system.

The CANDU 6 reactor assembly consists of an array of 380 pressure tubes, which are installed horizontally in a large cylindrical vessel, the Calandria, containing the low pressure heavy water moderator. The pressure tube is located inside the calandria tube and the annulus between these tubes, which forms a closed loop with $CO_2$ gas recirculating, is called the Annulus Gas System(AGS). It is designed to give an alarm to the operator even for a small pressure tube leak by a very sensitive dew point meter so that he can take a preventive action for the pressure tube rupture incident. To judge whether the operator action time is enough or not in the design of Wolsong 2,3 & 4, the Leak Before Break(LBB) assessment is required for the analysis of the pressure tube failure accident. In order to provide the required data for the LBB assessment of Wolsong Units 2, 3, 4, a series of leak detection capability tests was performed by injecting controlled rates of heavy water vapour. The data of increased dew point and rates of rise were measured to determine the alarm set point for the dew point rate of rise of Wolsong Unit 2. It was found that the response of the dew point depends on the moisture injection rate, $CO_2$ gas flow rate and the leak location. The test showed that CANDU 6 AGS can detect the very small leaks less than few g/hr and dew point rate of rise alarm can be the most reliable alarm signal to warn the operator. Considering the present results, the first response time of dew point to the AGS $CO_2$ flow rate is approximated.

The attenuation of the fundamental non-torsional modes that propagate down buried steel water pipes has been studied. The mode shapes, mode attenuation due to leakage into the surrounding medium and the scattering of the modes as they interact with pipe joints and fittings have been investigated. In the low frequency region the mode predicted to dominate over significant propagation distances approximates a plane wave in the water within pipe. The established acoustic technique used to locate leaks in buried steel water pipes assumes that leak noise propagates as a single non-dispersive mode at a velocity related to the low frequency asymptote of this water borne mode.

It is widely known that the leak locating of underground plastic pipelines is much more difficult than that of cast iron pipelines. The precision of the leak locating depends upon the speed of leak signal and the time delay estimation between the two sensors on the pipeline. In this paper, six different windowing filters are considered to improve the time delay estimation especially for the plastic pipelines. The time delay is usually estimated from the peak time of cross-correlation functions. The filtering windows including rectangle, Roth, Wiener, SCOT, PHAT and maximum likelihood are applied to derive the generalized cross-correlation function and compared each other. Experimental results for the actual plastic underground water supply pipeline show that the introduction of the filtering windows improved the precision of time delay estimation. Some window functions provide excellent leak locating capability for the plastic pipe of 98 m long, which is less than 1 % of the pipe lengths. Also a new probabilistic approach that the combinations of all results from each filtering window is suggested for the better leak locating.

상수도 배관은 땅속에 매설되어 있어서 배관의 노후화에 따른 누수를 맨눈으로 탐지하기가 불가능하며, 누수음을 감지함으로써 배관의 누수를 탐지하는 기술이 주로 사용된다. 본 논문에서는 상수도 배관의 양단에 두 개의 가속도계를 부착·취득한 데이터 간의 도달 시간 차이를 계산하여 누수 지점을 탐지하는 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 배관의 누수 시험은 17.2m의 배관에 4.3m, 8.6m, 12.9m 지점에 밸브를 설치하고, 밸브의 개도율을 30%, 70%로 변경해 가면서 누수 지점을 분석하였으며, 밸브가 30%, 70%씩 개방된 정도의 배관 내 압력 강하에 대해서는 누수를 탐지할 수 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 초기 단계의 누수를 탐지하는 것이 매우 중요하며, 본 연구에서 적용한 알고리즘으로부터 초기의 누수 지점의 탐지가 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

시간영역반사계(TDR)는 케이블의 물리적 결함을 검사하는 기법이며 누수 탐지 분야로의 응용영역을 확대하고 있다. 본 연구는 시간영역반사계 기법을 활용하여 선박 기관실 해수 배관의 누설 감지용 케이블형 센서를 개발하였다. 케이블 센서의 형상은 꼬임형상과 흡습부재를 이용하여 제작하였으며 개발된 센서의 누수 감지 여부와 위치 탐지 가능성을 확인하였다. 개발된 센서는 실제 배관 시험 장치에 부착하여 평가하였으며 해수 누설에 따른 다양한 TDR 신호를 취득하였다. 센서는 꼬임횟수, 피복 두께를 변수로 하여 제작하였으며 TDR 신호에 미치는 효과를 분석하였다. 실험 결과, 꼬임형 센서는 평행한 띠 형상의 센서에 비해 평활한 신호 취득이 가능하였으며 최적 꼬임 횟수는 단위길이 당 10회 이상인 것으로 나타났다. 절연 피복두께의 경우 적정 민감도 확보가 가능한 절연 피복부재의 두께는 도선직경의 80%~120%로 확인되었다. 누수 위치 추정을 위해 회귀분석 실시 결과, 결정계수는 0.9998로 실제 누설 위치와 높은 상관관계를 나타내었다. 결과적으로 제안된 TDR 기반의 누수 감지용 꼬임형 센서는 해수 배관 시스템의 누수 감시 센서로의 충분한 적용성을 확인하였다.

지하에 매설되어 있는 사회기반시설물 중 하나인 상수도시스템은 정수처리된 물을 수용가에게 수송 및 공급하는 기능을 가지고 있다. 최근들어, 계측능력이 향상됨에 따라 유량데이터에 의한 딥러닝기법을 적용한 누수 인지 및 탐지와 관련한 연구가 다수 수행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 현재까지 상수도 분야에 적용되지 않은 LSTM 기반의 딥러닝 알고리즘을 활용하여 누수발생에 대한 인지 모형을 개발하였다. 가정한 데이터를 기반으로 모형에 대한 검증을 수행하였으며 2% 이상의 누수가 발생한 경우에 대하여 모두 인식이 가능한 것으로 나타났다. 향후, 제안된 모형을 토대로 유량 데이터 예측부분에 있어서 보다 정밀한 결과가 도출 될 수 있을것으로 판단된다.
