The sprinkler system is a basic fire extinguishing system that uses water as an extinguishing agent. In order to evaluate the fire extinguishing performance of the sprinkler system, information such as the discharge angle, discharge speed, discharge pressure, flow rate, and water droplet size of the installed head are required. However, there is a lack of research on droplets size compared to other requirements. In this study, to evaluate the extinguishing characteristics of sprinkler system, the droplet size distribution was measured for various types of sprinkler heads actually used. The size of the droplet was measured using laser diffraction method. The 50% cumulative volume distribution ($D_{v50}$) according to discharge coefficient(K factor) was $540{\mu}m{\sim}695{\mu}m$ for K50, $542{\mu}m{\sim}1,192{\mu}m$ for K80, $980{\mu}m{\sim}1,223{\mu}m$ for K115 and $1,188{\mu}m{\sim}1,234{\mu}m$ for K202. Based on the measured results, the vaeiance of the droplet particle distribution and the distribution ($D_{v50}$) according to discharge coefficient(K factor) was $540{\mu}m{\sim}695{\mu}m$ for K50, $542{\mu}m{\sim}1,192{\mu}m$ for K80, $980{\mu}m{\sim}1,223{\mu}m$ for K115 and $1,188{\mu}m{\sim}1,234{\mu}m$ for K202. Based on the measured results, the vaeiance of the droplet particle distribution and the Rosin-Rammler index value are presented. As a result of the fire simulation with FDS, it was confirmed that the performance difference occurs according to the water droplet size distribution even when the same amount of water is used. Therefore, the extinguishing performance of the sprinkler system should be evaluated considering the droplet size distribution according to the sprinkler head type.

수돗물의 공급과정에서 발생되는 상수관망의 누수는 소중한 수자원의 손실, 공급에너지의 추가적인 소요 등 사회경제적인 손실을 초래한다. 본 연구에서는 관로 상에 설치되어 실시간으로 계측되는 유량자료를 이용하여 누수를 감시하는 모형을 적응 칼만필터 기법을 이용하여 제시하였다. 제안된 누수감시 알고리즘에서는 수돗물 사용량의 시간적 변화와 요일적 변동을 고려함으로써 예측의 신뢰도를 향상시키는 방안을 제시하였다. 또한 기존의 칼만필터 기법에 혁신과정을 추가하여 잡음의 공분산에 대한 자동보정을 통하여 예측의 정확도를 개선하였다. 개발된 모형은 사인형태의 가상 유량자료에 대한 모의실험을 통하여 적응 칼만필터 기법의 예측정확도를 기존의 칼만필터 기법과 비교하였으며, JE시의 2개소 블록유량자료에 대한 현장 적용성 평가를 실시하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 관로의 파열에 의한 누수 및 비정상적인 용수사용량에 대한 감시를 통하여 상수관망의 효율적인 운영관리에 적용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

There are three methods for analyzing flow and pressure distribution in looped water distribution networks (the loop method, the node method, the element method) taking into consideration hydraulic parameters chosen as unknown. For all these methods the non-linear system of equations can be solved by iterative procedures. The paper presents a different approach to this problem by using the method of variational formulations for hydraulic analysis of water distribution networks. This method has the advantage that it uses a specialized optimization algorithm which minimizes directly an objective multivariable function without constraints, implemented in a computer program. The paper compares developed method to the classic Hardy-Cross method. This shows the good performance of the new method.

The concept of a non-contact type of UV disinfection system was introduced in this study. UV lamps and their quartz sleeves hang over the water surface and there is no interface between the sleeve and water. Obviously, there is no fouling. Based on optical laws and other UV distribution models, a detail mathematical model for a non-contact type UV disinfection system was developed in this study. Pathway length of UV light in a non-contact type photoreactor is longer than that in a submerged type photoreactor because the light is more refractive while passing through 3 interfaces of medium. But the pathway length passing through the water media is not significantly longer than that in a submerged type photoreactor so, the absorption of UV light by water is not significantly different from the other system. Due to the reflection effect, UV intensity is rapidly decreased as the horizontal distance from the light source is increased. The reflective attenuation in a non-contact type photoreactor is higher than that in a submerged type photoreactor. These mean that the short photoreactor is advantageous than the narrow-long photoreactor for the non-contact type photoreactor in an optical point of view.

The residual chlorine concentration is an essential factor to secure reliable water quality in the water distribution systems. The chlorine concentration decays along the pipeline system and the main processes of the reaction can be divided into the bulk decay and the wall decay mechanisms. Using EPANET 2.0, it is possible to predict the chlorine decay through bulk decay and wall decay based on the pipeline geometry and the hydraulic analysis of the water distribution system. In this study, we tried to verify the predictability of EPANET 2.0 using data collected from experimental practices. We performed chlorine concentration measurement according to various Reynolds numbers in a pilot-scale water distribution system. The chlorine concentration was predicted using both bulk decay model and wall decay model. As a result of the comparison between experimental data and simulated data, the performance of the limited $1^{st}$-order model was found to the best in the bulk decay model. The wall decay model simulated the initial decay well, but the overall chlorine decay cannot be properly predicted. Simulation also indicated that as the Reynolds number increased, the impact of the wall.

Flow quantity to supply to a coil in floor heating system is important to achieve comfortable indoor air condition in the winter season. The hot water header is used to distribute the water into the coil. Experimental study has been performed using the water header that have 5 branches consisted of flow control valves and automatic shut-off valves. Each branch line connected it with X-L pipe. Experimental tests accomplished it to investigate the flow distribution characteristics of the hot water header. Experimental results show that the selection of the pump head and differential pressure are very important to save running energy of the system, and high differential pressure needs more friction loss in the case of suitable differential pressure for balancing of the header.

The evaluation of the effluent water quality of sewage treatment plant is one of the most important factor in calculating total maximum daily loads (TMDLs). Current method to calculate 95% upper limit of effluent water quality of sewage treatment plant assuming normal distribution of data needs to be implemented in case of non-normal distribution. We have investigated the applicability of percentile ranking method as a non-parametric statistical analysis in case of non-normal distribution of data.

본 연구에서는 pilot 정수처리 공정 내에서 pH, 총용존고형물(TDS), 알칼리도 및 칼슘경도 등을 조절하여 송 배 급수관내의 CCPP(Calcium Carbonate Precipitation Potential)를 생성시켰으며 이 생성된 수용액이 모의관로에서 어느 정도 부식방지 효과가 있는지를 조사하였다. CCPP로 조절된 처리수는 실제 송 배 급수시스템에 사용되고 있는 상수도 관망의 재질을 선택하여 모의관로(Simulated Distribution System, SDS) pilot plant를 만들어 운전하였다. 운전결과 $Ca(OH)_2$, $CO_2$ gas, $Na_2CO_3$ 등으로 수질을 조절한 모의관로와 조절하지 않은 매설관로에서의 CCPP 농도는 평균 0.61 mg/L 및 -7.77 mg/L로 많은 차이를 보였다. 또한 수질을 조절한 모의관로와 조절하지 않은 매설관로 유출수의 Fe, Zn, Cu 이온들의 분석결과 모의관로의 경우가 매설관로에 비해 중금속 농도변화가 크게 저감되었다. 모의관로에서 CCPP 조절에 의해 형성된 피막은 6개월이 경과한 이후에는 scale이 형성되었으며 시간이 경과할수록 보다 조밀하고 고르게 형성되는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. 수질조절 후 형성된 방식 피막의 결정화합물 성분 및 구조를 파악하기 위해 아연도 강관 내벽에 형성된 scale의 XRD 분석을 실시하였다. 분석결과 10개월이 경과한 경우에는 $Zn_4CO_3(OH)_6{\cdot}H_2O$(Zinc Carbonate Hydroxide Hydrate)로 나타났으며 19개월이 경과한 후의 XRD 분석결과는 $CaCO_3$(Calcium Carbonate) 및 $ZnCO_3$(Smithsonite) 형태로 변화하는 것을 알 수 있었다.
