This study was carried out to analyze water suspension in the water supply system through fault tree analysis. And quantitative factors was evaluated to minimize water suspension. Consequently the aim of this study is to build optimal planning by analyzing scenarios for water suspension. Accordingly the fault tree model makes it possible to estimate risks for water suspension, current risks is $92.23m^3/day$. The result of scenario analysis by pipe replacement, risks for water suspension was reduced $7.02m^3/day$ when replacing WD4 pipe. As a result of scenario analysis by water district connections, the amount of risk reduction is maximized when it is connecting to network pipe of D Zone. Therefore, connecting to network pipe for D Zone would be optimal to reduce risk for water suspension.

This paper experimentally reports the effect of suspension stability on the thermal conductivity of water-based Au nanofluids. For this purpose, the water-based Au nanofluids are prepared by the one-step method called electro-chemical method with volume fraction of 0.0005%. The thermal conductivity of water-based Au nanofluids is measured from $22^{\circ}C$ to $42^{\circ}C$ using the transient hot wire method. To quantify the suspension stability of Au nanofluids, the suspension stability of nanofluids is evaluated using the in-house developed laser scattering system at a fixed wavelength of 632.8nm with the elapsed time. Based on the experimental results, the both thermal conductivity and suspension stability of water-based Au nanofluids are gradually decreased according to the time. These results experimentally show that the suspension stability of water-based Au nanofluids is the one of the important factor of thermal conductivity.

Depending on the range of shear rates, temperatures and concentrations, the potato starch suspension in water behaves as a typical dilatant system. The flow curves of the suspension at various concentrations and temperatures were obtained by using a Couette type rotational viscometer. The flow mechanism of the suspension is explained by a structure model of starch granules in the suspension. Based on the experimental results, a general flow equation for the dilatant system is proposed. By analyzing the temperature dependency of the relaxation time, the activation enthalpy and activation entropy for flow in the starch-water suspension were calculated, the former being about 10 kcal/mol.

The basic study for combustion characteristics of micron-sized aluminum powder with water suspension was carried out. Under atmospheric pressure, the combustion characteristics of aluminum powder with water suspension was studied by adjust the equivalent ratio and the density of a mixture which effect on burning rate. Based on atmospheric pressure's result, the device for the combustion characteristics of aluminum powder with water suspension under high-pressure environment was developed. In the pressure range from 2 to 50 atm the effect of pressure to burning rate was same as the case of nano-aluminum with water suspension, but the pressure range from 50 to 70 atm the sharp increase in burning rate was observed. In the experiment of varying the equivalence ratio, the combustion did not proceed in the condition of excess oxidizer (eq = 1.5).

The effects of water addition on $Y_2O_3$ coatings or thick films prepared by plasma suspension spray (SPS) have been investigated. Water addition in suspension media was found to be effective to control the color of a $Y_2O_3$ coating prepared by SPS. The color changed with water addition at the shortest stand-off distance of 50 mm even if samples had the same crystalline phase. Change was not correlated with fragmentation behavior of liquid suspension inside the plasma jet. Water content over 50 vol% was found to produce unmelted particles, indicating that water suppressed heat transfer to the particles. However, plasma jet temperature was not affected. Instead, the coating fabricated with water addition has higher oxygen and lower carbon content compared to these characteristics of the coating without water addition. This was attributed to the retarded complete evaporation of liquid media from the suspension droplet, resulting in inhibition of excessive heating and evaporation of the molten $Y_2O_3$ droplet. In this regard, crystalline phase development with respect to stand-off distance and water addition was discussed.

Since cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) has large specific surface area and high water holding capacity, it is very difficult task to remove water from the CNF suspension. However, dewatering of CNF suspension is a prerequisite of following processes such as mat forming and drying for the application of CNF. In this study, we evaluated the drainage of cellulose fibers suspension under vacuum and pressure conditions depending on the number of grinding passes. Also, the effect of the addition of cationic polyelectrolyte on dewatering ability of CNF suspension was investigated. Regardless of dewatering condition, the total drained water amount as well as the drainage rate were decreased with an increase in the number of grinding passes. Pressure dewatering equipment enables us to prepare wet CNF mat with relatively higher grammage. The cationic polyelectrolytes improved the dewatering ability of CNF suspension by controlling the zeta potential of CNF. The fast drainage was obtained when CNF suspension had around neutral zeta potential.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the contamination rate of barium sulfate suspension made in the exposed state in usual circumstances. This study was performed in four university hospital using the contrast media by barium sulfate powder. The specimen were detected at dispensing water, agitator and mixing tank. We also classified the suspension into general bacteria, mycete, and Bacillus coli infection. The tap water were used to dispense water in the all hospitals. Bacillus colt were not detected in the all. General bacteria and mycete were not detected in the one specimen, but detected in two specimen over defined value. In the contamination rate of agitator, mixing tank, and the manufactured, Bacillus coli were not detected in all. However, general bacteria and mycete were detected too numberous to count. In conclusion, the refined water must be used in dispensing water in manufacturing suspension. The disinfectant is also used in washing the agitator and mixing tank for sterilization. Hand washing is indispensible to manufacturing suspension for preventing from infection.

Viscosity and zeta-potential of 11.0 wt. % aqueous bentonite suspension containing various electrolytes and hydrogen-ion concentration were measured by using a Couette type automatic rotational viscometer and Zeta Meter, respectively. The effects of pH and elcctrolytes on the rheological properties of the suspension were investigated. A system, which has a large zeta-potcntial, has a small intrinsic relaxation time ${\beta}$ and a small intrinsic shear modulus $1/{\alpha}$ in the Ree-Eyring generalized viscosity equation, i.e., such a system has a small viscosity value, since ${\eta}={\beta}/{\alpha}$. In general, a stable suspension system has large zeta-potential. The stability condition of clay-water suspension can be estimated by viscometric method since stable suspension generally has small viscosity. The correlation between the stability, viscosity and zeta-potential has been explained by the Ree-Eyring theory of viscous flow.

When water is evaporated quickly from a water-based colloidal suspension, colloidal particles protrude from the water surface, distorting it and generating lateral capillary forces between the colloidal particles. The protruded colloidal particles are then assembled into ordered colloidal crystalline domains that float on the water surface on account of their having a lower effective density than water. These colloidal crystal domains then assemble together by lateral capillary force and convective flow; the generated colloidal crystal has grain boundaries. The single domain size of the colloidal crystal could be controlled, to some extent, by changing the rate of water evaporation, but it seems very difficult to fabricate a single crystal over a large area of the water's surface without reorienting each colloidal crystal domain. To reorient such colloidal crystal domains, a glass plate was dipped into the colloidal suspension at a tilted angle because the meniscus (airwaterglass plate interface) is pinned and thinned by further water evaporation. The thinning meniscus generated a shear force and reoriented the colloidal crystalline domains into a single domain.
