The horizontal thermal storage tank with heat pipe which is suitable for the sensible heat storage system is able to store a hot water from the heat source such as heating pad efficiently and to supply a hot water to load rapidly. Therefore Arrangement of heating pad affects thermal flow and thermal storage efficiency. So, if effective arrangement is decided for condition of constant number of heating pad, the more rapid thermal flow effect and higher thermal storage efficiency is obtainable by active heat transfer. In this experiments, number of heating pad is ranged from three, five and nine, and when number of heating pad is constant, arrangement are two types of concentration-type and dispersion-type. As a result, for the case of concentration-type of heating pad, strong entrainment take place in horizontal thermal storage tank with heat pipe by active heat transfer and in the constant number of heating pad, the concentration-type has the higher efficiency with about 5∼6% than the dispersion-type. Therefore, when heating pad is equipted to horizontal thermal storage tank with heat pipe, concentration-type of heating pad is an efficient design in constant number. of heating pad.

This study is experimented to observe an influence of experimental conditions on production characteristics of slurry ice by putting ball into test section to disturb ice adhesion. And at this experiment it used ethylene glycol-water solution and the concentration is 20wt%. The experimental apparatus was constructed of ethylene glycol-water solution and slurry ice storage tank. brine tank, pumps for ethylene glycol-water solution and brine circulating, a mass flow-meter data logger for fluid temperature measuring and a vertical circular tube with two copper tubes as test section. The experiments were carried out under various conditions, with mean velocity of fluid at the entry ranging from 0.07 to 0.13m/s and ball diameter is 10mm, 15mm. Also ball filling rate is 33%, 50%.

In the present paper, batch and semi-continuous settling characteristics of a binary calcium carbonate-water system were investigated. Using experimental data of batch settling characteristics, a graphical analysis for a semi-continuous thickening column was developed and compared with experimental results on the basis of Kynch theory, only where the feed velocity line was within the limits of Kynch theorem III. The analysis showed good agreement with experiments. Quite erroneous results, however, was observed for the analysis of a sludge region on the underloaded operation, which was considered due to the deviation from the limits of theory.

For the improvement of the traditional pots which is using purple spirals for fishing webfoot octopus, Octopus Ocellatus GRAY, some experiments are carried out on the color preference in water tank and also operated practical experiment with PVC pots at sea for the comparison on the basis of the above water tank experiment. The results obtained are as follows: 1. The colors which webfoot octopus prefer in water tank or at sea are gray, red and green in order. 2. The catching efficiency of the pots with small spout(dia. 40mm) is better than that of large spout(dia. 50mm). 3. The results of fishing efficiency between PVC pots and purple spirals are shown almost same tendency.

This paper relates to a technology for monitoring a liquefied gas storage tank in the special gas field where demand is increasing owing to the continuous growth of related fields such as the semiconductor, display, and ICT convergence electronics industries. We have proposed a system for real - time monitoring using wireless sensor network technology, and implemented a system consisting of a sensor unit, transmitter module, and receiver module to be attached to a liquefied gas storage tank. The system was applied to LCO2 tanks among various liquefied gas storage tanks to verify the feasibility. The storage tanks employed in the experiments has capacities of 16,179 l and was 1,920 mm in inner diameter. Furthermore, the density was 1.03 g/l. The measured data were compared with reference data on the remaining gas level versus the $CO_2$ height of the surface, expressed using a conventional water meter, provided by an existing storage tank supplier. The experimental results show that the data is similar to the standard data provided by the tank supplier, and has a high accuracy and reliability within an error range of 0.03%.

Previous investigations have demonstrated that strong earthquakes can cause severe damage or collapse to storage tanks. Theoretical studies by other researchers have shown that allowing the tank to uplift generally reduces the base shear and the base moment. This paper provides the necessary experimental confirmation of some of the numerical finding by other researchers. This paper reports on a series of experiments of a model tank containing water using a shake table. A comparison of the seismic behaviour of a fixed base system (tank with anchorage) and a system free to uplift (tank without anchorage) is considered. The six ground motions are scaled to the design spectrum provided by New Zealand Standard 1170.5 (2004) and a range of aspect ratios (height/radius) is considered. Measurements were made of the impulsive acceleration, the horizontal displacement of the top of the tank and uplift of the base plate. A preliminary comparison between the experimental results and the recommendations provided by the liquid storage tank design recommendations of the New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering is included. The measurement of anchorage forces required to avoid uplift under varying conditions will be discussed.

Sediment load deposited in sewers and manholes reduces not only the capacity of pipes but also the efficiency of the whole sewer system. This causes the inundations of the low places and overflows at manholes, Moreover, sulfides and bad odor can occur due to deposited sediment with organic loads in manholes. Movements of sediment load in manholes are complicated depending on manhole size, location, inside structure, sediment load type, and time. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the movements of sediment load in manholes by experiments. In this study, experiments were implemented by a square manhole with straight path to measure deposited sedimentation quantity. The experimental apparatus was consisted of a high water tank, an upstream tank, test pipes, a sediment supplier, a manhole, and a downstream tank to measure the experimental discharge. The quantity of deposited sediment load was measured by different conditions, such as the inflow condition of sediment(continuous and certain period), the amount of inflow sediment, discharge, and the type of sediment. Jumoonjin sand(S=2.63, D50=0.55mm), general sand(GS, S=2.65, D50=1.83mm) and anthracite (S=1.45, D50=0.80mm) were employed for the experiment. The velocities in inflow pipe were 0.45 m/s, 0.67 m/s, and 0.9 m/s. Sediment load movement and sedimentation quantity in manhole were influenced by many factors such as velocity, shear stress, viscosity, amount of sediment, sediment size, and specific gravity. Suggested regression equations can estimated the quantity of deposited sediment in the straight path square manholes. The connoted equations that were evaluated through the experimental study have velocity range from 0.45 to 0.9m/sec. The study results illustrates that appropriation of design velocity ragne between 1.0 and 2.0m/sec could implement to maintain and manage manholes.

In this paper, the electric potential of electrode surface is investigated by assuming them as two dimensional sets of point current sources. And, the simulated water tank is manufactured as a reduced scale of the earth. Henceforth, the adequate model electrode for test is decided to decrease experimental errors relevant to the limitation of the size of the water tank. The one of important things of this work, the deduction method of the potential interference factor is proposed, which used as the criterion of the potential interference according to the shape of conductors and the laying conditions, when multiple grounding conductors are situated at the same resistance grounding area. Also, the validity of this theory is verified from a numerical simulation of the grounding electrode to be used in experiments, and this study is realized by the verified theory and the simulated experiments.
