The present study investigated two-phase flow distribution, phase separation and pressure drop in multi-microchannel tubes under adiabatic condition. The test section consisted of inlet and outlet headers with the inner diameter of 19.4㎜ and 15 parallel microchannel tubes. Each microchannel tube brazed to the inlet and outlet headers and had 8 rectangular ports with the hydraulic diameter of 1.32㎜. The key experimental parameters were orientation of header (horizontal and vertical), flow direction of refrigerant into the inlet header (in-line, parallel and cross flow) and inlet quality (0.1, 0.2 and 0.3). It was found that the orientation of the header had relatively large effect on the flow distribution and phase separation, while the inlet quality didn't affect much on them. The horizontal header showed the better flow distribution and phase separation characteristics than the vertical one. The parallel flow condition with the horizontal header showed the best performance for the flow distribution and phase separation characteristics under the test conditions. Two-phase pressure drops through the microchannel tubes with the horizontal header were higher than those of the microchennel tubes with the vertical header due to gravitational effect.

Optimal design of the water supply pipe network aims to minimize construction cost while satisfying the required hydraulic constraints such as the minimum and maximum pressures, and velocity. Since considering one single design factor (i.e., cost) is very vulnerable for including future conditions and cannot satisfy operator's needs, various design factors should be considered. Hence, this study presents three kinds of design factors (i.e., minimizing construction cost, maximizing reliability, and surplus head) to perform multi-objective optimization design. Harmony Search (HS) Algorithm is used as an optimization technique. As well-known benchmark networks, Hanoi network and Gyeonggi-do P city real world network are used to verify the applicability of the proposed model. In addition, the proposed multi-objective model is also applied to a real water distribution networks and the optimization results were statistically analyzed. The results of the optimal design for the benchmark and real networks indicated much better performance compared to those of existing designs and the other approach (i.e., Genetic Algorithm) in terms of cost and reliability, cost, and surplus head. As a result, this study is expected to contribute for the efficient design of water distribution networks.

유수에 의한 하천 유역과 하천의 토양의 침식, 유송, 퇴적 현상은 빈번하게 발생한다. 이러한 과도한 현상은 수공구조물의 안전위협, 홍수범람 등의 자연재해를 가중시킨다. 토양침식에 따른 토사재해를 방지하기 위해서는 가장 우선적으로 정확한 유사유출량을 예측할 필요가 있다. 이를 위해서는 유역특성에 적합한 모형의 선정, 관련인자의 정량적인 산출, 가용 수문자료의 확보는 매우 중요하다. 따라서, 본 연구의 목적은 실측자료를 확보하고 있는 설마천 시험유역의 강우량, 유출량, 유사량 자료를 이용하여 강우-유출거동에 따른 토양침식량과 유사유출량을 산정하는데 있다. 그리고 유사전달률 분석을 통하여 설마천 시험유역의 유사전달률을 제안하였다. 향후에는 타 유역에도 적용하여 다양한 조건에서의 토양침식량 및 유사유출량 산정방법의 정형화, 유역 특성별 유사전달률 산정 연구를 하고자 한다.

본 연구에서는 내성천 하류 구간을 대상으로 검보정된 1차원 수치모형을 이용하여 흐름모의를 수행함으로써 추정된 구간 조도계수에 대해 분석하였다. 또한 실측 및 모의된 수리조건을 이용하여 향석 지점에서의 하상형태 예측을 수행하였으며 사립조도에 의한 흐름저항 계수 값을 고려하여 총 흐름저항 조도계수를 산정하였다. 수치모의에 의해 추정된 구간 조도계수와 사립조도 및 하상형태에 의한 흐름저항 계수를 추정한 결과 값을 상호 비교 분석하였으며 그 결과, 저수류 영역 흐름에서는 사립조도 및 하상형태에 의한 흐름저항 외에 식생, 만곡도, 사주 등의 기타 요인들에 의한 영향이 크게 반영되어 수치모의 상의 조도계수 값이 사립조도 및 하상형태에 의해 추정 가능한 조도계수 범위보다 크게 산정되는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 $500m^3/s$ 이상의 천이구간 및 고수류 영역에서는 사립조도 및 하상형태 예측에 의한 조도계수 범위에 수치모의에 의해 검증된 Manning 조도계수가 포함되는 것으로 나타났다.

Biohydrogen production from organic wastewater by anaerobically activated sludge fermentation has already been extensively investigated, and it is known that hydrogen can be produced by glucose fermentation through three metabolic pathways, including the oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvic acid to acetyl-CoA, oxidation of NADH to $NAD^+$, and acetogenesis by hydrogen-producing acetogens. However, the exact or dominant pathways of hydrogen production in the anaerobically activated sludge fermentation process have not yet been identified. Thus, a continuous stirred-tank reactor (CSTR) was introduced and a specifically acclimated acidogenic fermentative microflora obtained under certain operation conditions. The hydrogen production activity and potential hydrogen-producing pathways in the acidogenic fermentative microflora were then investigated using batch cultures in Erlenmeyer flasks with a working volume of 500 ml. Based on an initial glucose concentration of 10 g/l, pH 6.0, and a biomass of 1.01 g/l of a mixed liquid volatile suspended solid (MLVSS), 247.7 ml of hydrogen was obtained after a 68 h cultivation period at $35{\pm}1^{\circ}C$. Further tests indicated that 69% of the hydrogen was produced from the oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvic acid, whereas the remaining 31% was from the oxidation of NADH to $NAD^+$. There were no hydrogen-producing acetogens or they were unable to work effectively in the anaerobically activated sludge with a hydraulic retention time (HRT) of less than 8 h.

The treatment of high-strength swine wastewater by anaerobic digestion combined with an aquatic plant system was investigated. Anaerobic digestion of swine wastewater gave volatile solids (VS) removal efficiencies of 43.3%, 52.1% and 54.5% for hydraulic retention times (HRTs) of 20, 30, 40 days, respectively. The removal efficiencies of VS, total chemical oxygen demand (TCOD) and soluble chemical oxygen demand (SCOD) decreased with increasing VS volumetric loading rate (VLR). Higher organic removal efficiency was observed at longer HRTs for the same VS volumetric loading rate. As VS volumetric loading rate increased, biogas production increased and the methane content of the biogas decreased. Experiments using duckweed (Lemna species) as an aquatic macrophyte gave the following results. In the case of nitrogen, removal efficiency was above 60% and effluent concentration was below 10.0 mg/L when the influent ammonia-N loading was about $1.0\;g/m^2/day$. In the case of phosphorus, removal efficiency was above 55% and effluent concentration was below 2.0 mg/L when the influent $PO_4$-P loading was about $0.15\;g/m^2/day$. In addition, crude protein and phosphorus content of duckweed biomass increased from 15.6% to 41.6% and from 0.8% to 1.6%, respectively, as the influent nutrient concentration increased. The treatment of high-strength swine wastewater by anaerobic digestion combined with an aquatic plant system offers good performance in terms of organics and nutrient removal for relatively low operation and maintenance costs. The results indicate that under appropriate operational conditions, the effluent quality is within the limits set by Korean discharge criteria.

도시지역의 우수를 배제하기 위한 방법으로 토구를 이용하여 하천으로 방류하고 있다. 그러나 이러한 토구를 설치 할 때 국내설계기준에는 어떠한 기준이나 제안이 없이 설계자나 시공자의 임의로 만들어 지고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 토구를 설치하는 방법에 대한 기초적인 자료를 제공하기 위하여 토구 방류 유량에 따른 흐름 변화 및 설치 각도, 돌출정도, 그리고 설치 위치에 따른 흐름변화를 실험을 통하여 분석함으로써 흐름에 보다 영향을 적게 미치는 토구설치 방법을 제안하였다. 총 10가지 경우에 대한 실험을 통하여, 같은 유량을 방류함에 있어서 한 곳으로의 방류보다는 상.하류 등으로 분리하여 방류하는 것이 흐름에 영향을 적게 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 설치 각도 및 돌출에 따라 상류지역의 수위 상승 및 유속 감소 등의 현상이 나타나 토구 설치 시 보다 신중하고 흐름에 방해가 되지 않는 방향으로 설치할 수 있는 방안을 강구해야 한다.

SThe rigidities of bridge substructures are the important data in the rail-bridge interaction analysis in Korean High -Speed Railway. This experimental study is being performed because of followings. 1) More correct longitudinal stiffness of the structure including substructure should be considered in the calculation of stresses in rails. 2) There are many uncertainties in the design and construction of the piers and foundations. 3) Actual guideline for the rigidities of piers and foundations in the design is necessary. 4) Measurement on the rigidity of pier according to the types of piers, foundations and soil-conditions is needed. Curve for estimating the total rigidity of substructure will be obtained through this and further experimental studies. It may be used in the analysis of Korean High-Speed Railway bridge and then, longitudinal stresses in the rails can be estimated more accurately. One pair of piers, which consist of pot-bearing for fixed support and pad-bearing for movable support, are loaded by steel frame devices with steel wire ropes and hydraulic jack. The responses which are measured at each loading stages in those field tests are displacements and tilted angles on the top and bottom of piers. This study is being performed testing and analysis about several piers in the construction field.

Most natural river reach are approximately balanced with respect to sediment inflow and outflow. Dam construction dramatically alters this balance, creating an impounded river reach characterized by extremely low flow velocities and efficient sediment trapping. The impounded reach will accumulate sediment and lose storage capacity until a balance is again achieved, which would normally occur after the impoundment has become "filled up" with sediment and can no longer provide water storage and other benefits. This paper aims to investigate the sediment removal process in dam reservoir using simultaneously pressure flushing operation and vibrator machine. The main objective of this study is to identify the effect of vibrator in flushing cone dimensions. To achieve the objectives of present study, laboratory test have conducted under different hydraulic conditions such as two bottom outlets with diameter equal to 2" and 3", five discharges 0.23, 0.53, 1.21, 1.53 and 2.1 lit/s and only one water depth above the center of bottom outlets. Using the vibrator machine mounted into the reservoir and close to the bottom outlet, different frequency e.g. 20, 35 and 50 HZ, have been introduced to the deposited sediment at the vicinity of outlet. The results indicate that the volume and width of flushing cone are strongly affected by frequency of vibrations. The results indicate that the volume and width of flushing cone are strongly affected by frequency of vibrations.
