Proper discharge of nitrogen gas and water condensate is required in a conventional fuel cell system for performance, stability and durability of fuel cell stacks. Present study covers the development of integrated unit and its functioning logic for simultaneous nitrogen gas purge and water condensate drainage in a fuel cell vehicle system. Configuration of condensate drainage pipe, purge valve and level sensor is considered and optimized in physical integration. As a key factor, discharge time is considered and optimized based on the test result of constant-current operation with various operating temperature in logic development. Consequently, derived optimal values are applied and verified in actual vehicle drive mode test. Increase of system design flexibility, weight reduction and cost reduction are anticipated with this study. Additional study for physical and logical improvement is currently being implemented.

A comparison was made between the chlorophyll a and suspended solid (SS) retrievals from OSMI and SeaWiFS sensor to chlorophyll a and SS values determined with the standard method during the NFRDI's research cruises. The percentage of organic and inorganic materials from the SS was calculated to study the contribution of turbid water in the northern part of the East China Sea. The open sea waters in the Kuroshio regions of the East China Sea showed relatively higher concentration of volatile SS. However, towards the northwestern part of the East China Sea, the situation became much more optically different with the non-volatile SS from the Yangtze river and the sea bottom sources in the sea in winter and spring seasons. Furthermore, in order to indirectly detect low salinity water with high turbidity, which related to the Yangtze river using remote sensed data from the satellites, a comparison between the results of the band ratio(nLw 490nm/nLw 555nm) of SeaWiFS (OSMI) and the distribution of low salinity around the Jeju Island was presented.

정수장에서 소독 및 여과 처리가 완료된 깨끗한 물은 배급수시설로 전달되나, 실제로 관의 노후화, 갑작스러운 유향 변동, 특정 구역의 관 내 정체 시간에 따른 Water Age 상승 등 여러 요인으로 인해 실제 수용가에는 안전하지 않은 용수가 공급될 가능성이 있으며, 이에 따라 적절한 위치에서 지속적인 감시를 통한 조기 발견 및 조치가 필요하다. 상수도 시설기준(2010)에 배수시설의 주요 지점 혹은 관 말단 등 필요에 따라 적절한 위치에 수질 계측기를 설치할 수 있도록 제시되어 있으나, 계측기 설치 위치나 개수에 대한 기준이 모호한 실정이다. 모든 구역에 수질계측기를 설치하여 감시하는 것이 이상적이지만, 현실적으로는 지자체 환경 및 경제적인 한계가 있어 주요 위치에 설치하는 것이 바람직하다. 본 연구에서는 대표적인 수리해석 모형인 EPANET을 사용하여 대상 관망의 노후도, 유속, 유향변동 등의 영향인자를 바탕으로 수질사고가 발생할 확률이 높은 관을 위험관으로 선정하고, 선정된 위험관을 대상으로 최단 경로와 Cost를 산출할 수 있는 Floyd Warshall Algorithm을 이용하여 각 Node(수용가)간 물이 이동할 때의 최소 도달시간과 경로를 파악하였다. 또한, 시간 서비스 수준(Level of T hour Serivice)의 개념을 도입하여 위험관으로부터 특정시간 이내에 흐름이 도달하는 Node를 파악한 뒤, 그 중 가장 많은 피해를 발생시킬 수 있는 위험관을 수질계측위치 지점으로 선정하였다. 제시된 수질사고 발생위험이 높은 위험관을 대상으로 수질계측 위치를 선정하는 방법이 전체 관망 네트워크를 대상으로 수질계측 위치를 판단하는 방법보다 결과 신뢰도 측면에서 더욱 효과적이고 효율적인 방법으로 사료된다.

최근 기후변화로 인한 집중호우, 태풍 등의 영향으로 산사태가 빈번히 발생하고 있다. 산사태를 예방할 수 있는 효율적인 방법은 사방사업이다. 이러한 사방사업의 효율성을 높이기 위해서는 산지에서 유출되는 토사량에 대한 정량적 측정이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 산지계류에 Load-cell 센서를 설치하고, 분동테스트를 통하여 계류에서의 적용성과 재하 형태에 따른 출력값을 비교하였다. 개별 및 복합 하중시험을 실시한 결과, Site 1에서 평균 0.4kgf, Site 2에서 평균 0.6kgf 차이로 재하 형태의 영향은 낮게 나타났다. 또한 측정값의 정확도를 높이기 위해 하중계수를 산정하였다. 하중계수를 Load-cell 측정 값에 적용하여 보정한 결과, 두 사이트에서 출력율이 각각 14.8%p, 24.6%p 상승하여 기준값에 근사하게 산정되었다. Load-cell 센서는 수위, 강우 등과 함께 시계열 분석을 통하여 산지 토사유출량을 정량적으로 산정할 수 있었다. 모니터링이 장기간 이루어진다면 산림유역에 대한 토사유출 매커니즘 구명에도 활용할 수 있을 것이다. 또한 Load-cell과 같은 센서를 산지 계곡에 적용함으로써 계측센서 등 관련분야 산업 발전에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

본 연구에서는 광섬유를 활용한 온도분포 센싱 방법을 실규모 제방 실험에 적용하여, 제방의 사면과 제체 내부의 변화를 모니터링하는 광역형 제방 모니터링 기술의 적용성을 검토하였다. 실규모 제방에 광섬유를 매립하고 저류지의 수위 변화에 따른 제체 내부의 시간적, 공간적 온도 변화를 측정하였다. 저류지 수위가 증가함에 따라 제방 사면의 온도는 감소하였으며, 침투가 진행되면서는 온도 변화가 나타나는 공간적 위치의 변화가 감지되었다. 제방 침투로 인한 온도 변화는 침투 경과 시간에 따라 차이가 나타났고, 침윤선으로 추정되는 변화를 관찰할 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통해 제방 내부의 온도 변화에 대한 정보는 제방 내부의 상태 변화를 판단하고 상대적으로 취약하다고 판정되는 지점에 대한 정보로 해석될 수 있음을 증명하였다.

Many of the world's large ecosystems are severely stressed due to population growth, water quality and quantity problems, vulnerability to flood and drought, and the loss of native species and cultural resources. Consequences of climate change further increase uncertainties about the future. These major societal challenges must be addressed through innovations in governance, policy, and ways of implementing management strategies. Science and engineering play a critical role in helping define possible alternative futures that could be achieved and the possible consequences to economic development, quality of life, and sustainability of ecosystem services. Science has advanced rapidly during the past decade with the emergence of science communities coalescing around 'Grand Challenges' and the maturation of how these communities function has resulted in large interdisciplinary research networks. An example is the River Experiment Center of KICT that engages researchers from throughout Korea and the world. This trend has been complemented by major advances in sensor technologies and data synthesis to accelerate knowledge discovery. These factors combine to allow scientific debate to occur in a more open and transparent manner. The availability of information and improved communication of scientific and engineering issues is raising the level of dialogue at the science-policy interface. However, severe challenges persist since scientific discovery does not occur on the same timeframe as management actions, policy decisions or at the pace sometimes expected by elected officials. Common challenges include the need to make decisions in the face of considerable uncertainty, ensuring research results are actionable and preventing science being used by special interests to delay or obsfucate decisions. These challenges are explored in the context of examples from the United States, including the California Bay-Delta system. California transfers water from the wetter northern part of the state to the drier southern part of the state through the Central Valley Project since 1940 and this was supplemented by the State Water Project in 1973. The scale of these activities is remarkable: approximately two thirds of the population of Californians rely on water from the Delta, these waters also irrigate up to 45% of the fruits & vegetables produced in the US, and about 80% of California's commercial fishery species live in or migrate through the Bay-Delta. This Delta region is a global hotspot for biodiversity that provides habitat for over 700 species, but is also a hotspot for the loss of biodiversity with more than 25 species currently listed by the Endangered Species Act. Understanding the decline of the fragile ecosystem of the Bay-Delta system and the potential consequences to economic growth if water transfers are reduced for the environment, the California State Legislature passed landmark legislation in 2009 (CA Water Code SS 85054) that established "Coequal goals of providing a more reliable water supply for California and protecting, restoring, and enhancing the Delta ecosystem". The legislation also stated that "The coequal goals shall be achieved in a manner that protects and enhances the unique cultural, recreational, natural resource, and agricultural values of the Delta as an evolving place." The challenges of integrating policy, management and scientific research will be described through this and other international examples.
