In this study, chlorine dose at water storage tank was predicted to meet the recommended guideline for free chlorine residual in drinking water distribution system, using EPANET which is a computer program that performs extended Period simulation of hydraulic and water quality behavior within pressurized pipe networks. The results may be summarized as follows. The decay of chlorine residual by season varied considerably in the following order; in summer ($25^{\circ}C$) > spring and fall (15$^{\circ}C$) > winter (5$^{\circ}C$). For re-chlorination at water storage tank by season, season-varying chlorine dose was required at its maximum of 1.00 mg/l in summer and minimum of 0.40 mg/l in winter as free chlorine residual. The decay of chlorine residual through out the networks increased with water age spent by a parcel of water in the network except for some points with low water demand. In conclusion, the season-varying chlorine dose as well as the monitoring of water quality parameters at the some points which showed high decay of chlorine residual may be necessary to deliver the safe drinking water.

This study has been prepared for the purpose of developing the system performance prediction method of natural circulation solar hot water system. The storage tank of the natural circulation solar hot water system equipped with flat-plate solar collector is located at higher elevation than the solar collectors. Therefor, the storage tank temperature distribution formed accordance with configuration of storage tank by flow rate of circulating fluid affect system collection efficiency. In this study measure the storage tank temperature distribution with various experimental system under real sun condition and present the theoretical prediction method of the storage tank temperature. Moreover measure the flow rate not only day-time but also night-time reverse flow rate with die injection visual flow meter. Main conclusion obtain from the present study is as follows; 1) The storage tank temperature distribution above the connecting pipe connection position is the same as that of the fully mixed tank and below the connection position is the same as that of stratified tank. 2) The system performance sensitive to the storage tank temperature distribution. Therefore detailed tank model is necessary. Average storage tank temperature can be calculate 3% and storage tank temperature profile can get less than 10% difference with this model system.

In this study, I suggest an effective operation of waterwork facilities in large cities and a scientific method for utilizing water in water distribution systems. To achieve this goal, my simulation were carried out on data from Kwangju City using Pipenet '98, a pipe-network program. From this simulation, I examine the possibilities of application the system in large cities, comparing data measured at 33 hydraulic pressure monitoring places from waterwork enterprises. The result is coincident with that of waterwork enterprises, with about a 12.5% average error rate and $0.32kg/cm^2$ average deviation. The method and program I use here can be helpful in cities where there is a need to extend the waterwork facilities, or where there is a need to suspend the water supply, and/or there is an accident. The simulation shows how to expand waterwork facilities effectively, how to prevent accidents, and how to estimate the hydraulic pressure even in the areas without monitoring places.

Particulate matters in a water distribution system are main causes of turbidity and discoloration of tap water. They could be removed by conventional or uni-directional flushing in a water distribution system. The behaviors and required flow velocity of particles are not well known for their flushing. A model water main and hydrant were made from transparent acrylic pipe of 30mm and 16mm in diameter, respectively. We analyzed the effect of flushing velocity, particle density, and particle diameter. We found that the existence of break-though velocities at which particles begin to be removed, and which are affected by their physical properties. The removal efficiencies seemed to be influenced by resuspension capabilities related to their upward movement from the bottom. Heavy particles like scale were hard to remove through upflow hydrant because the falling velocity, calculated using Stokes' law, was higher. Particle removal efficiencies of upward hydrant and downward drain showed minor differences. Additionally, the length between hydrant and control valve affected flushing efficiency because the particulate matters were trapped in this space by inertia and recirculating flow.

최근의 상수관망의 안전도 확보, 부가적 용수공급로 확보, 그리고 관(管)내 배수를 위한 부분적인 상수관망의 격리문제가 대두 되면서 이를 위한 밸브역할의 중요성이 인식되고 있다. 기본적인 상수관망에서의 밸브역할은 물의 흐름과 압력조절 그리고 관 파괴와 오염물 확산시 부분적 관의 격리라고 할 수 있다. 이중 본 논문에서는 관의 격리 기능을 중심으로 밸브를 해석한다. 관의 파괴로 인한 부분적인 상수관망의 격리시에 일반적으로 그 관만이 아닌 주변의 다른 관들도 함께 격리가 될 수 있으며 이것은 격리하고자하는 관에 설치된 밸브배치에 따라 달라진다. 본 논문에서는 밸브의 배치에 따라 함께 격리되는 관들을 하나의 단위로 보며 이것을 "Segment"라 부른다. Segment에 따라 실제 격리되는 관의 범위가 주어지며 이것에 따라 전체 상수관망을 나눈 후 각 밸브의 중요도와 상수관망의 효율성 평가에 이용한다. 효율성 평가를 위해 7개의 효율성 지수를 제안하며 실제 상수관망에 적용하여 사용성을 검증한다.

간이상수도 시스템에서 공급하는 식수는 일정한 잔류 약품(염소)량을 유지해야 하기 때문에 물과 약품의 혼합방법은 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 물과 약품의 혼합방법을 최적화하기 위하여, 4가지 모델에 대한 농도분포 및 혼합지수를 구하였다. 그중 2가지 모델에 대해서는 혼합효과가 높게 나타났다. 하나는 지하수 공급 파이프 중앙에 약품을 공급하는 모델이고, 또 다른 하나는 약품공급 파이프 하류에 반원형태의 블록을 설치한 모델이다. 이러한 모델들은 유동의 확산 및 교란을 야기시켜 혼합효과를 증가시키는 결과를 가져왔다. 이와 같은 수치해석 결과는 최적의 혼합효과를 얻기 위한 시스템을 설계하는데 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.

The water distribution system should be invariably operated on continuous pattern for 24 hours a day. Occasionally, it is not practically possible to operate for 24 hours due to water shortage or financial constraints. Therefore an intermittent water supply is unavoidable in water shortage area and developing countries. But the intermittent water supply can introduce large pressure forces and rapid fluid accelerations into a water supply network. These disturbances may result in new pipe failure, leakage and secondary contamination. This paper proposed an improvement methodology to prevent the disturbances by intermittent water supply. For the study, the hydraulic variation of intermittent flow in water distribution system was measured and analyzed in the field by comparing with simulation of hydraulic model. Installations of control valves such as, pressure reducing and sustaining and air valves were employed for pressure and flow control. The effectiveness of the methods are presented by comparing hydraulic conditions before and after introducing the proposed solutions.

This research was conducted using a model home plumbing system composed of copper, stainless steel, galvanized iron, carbon steel, and PVC (polyvinyl chloride) pipe. The number of bacteria present in stainless steel pipe and PVC was higher than other pipes. High turbidity and zinc release were found in galvanized iron pipe material and detected during the first 6 months. Conversely, there was a decrease in turbidity and zinc release after 6 months resulting in levels similar to other pipes. Copper concentration decreased as operation times increased. In this experiment, the number of bacteria detected in biofilm for a copper pipe continued to increase. Pipe material influenced bacterial numbers in biofilm and water. This showed that elevated chlorine could not control bacterial growth in biofilm for galvanized iron and stainless steel systems. It also suggested that the dosing of chlorine might not be available for all kinds of pipes. Therefore, another complementary method should be introduced to manage biofilm effectively in water distribution systems.

본 연구(II)는 연구(I)에서 제안한 상수관로의 노후도 예측에 근거한 최적 개량 모형을 A시를 대상으로 이를 적용하였다. 노후도 예측 모형은 굴착 및 실험이 필요한 14개 항목과 굴착 및 실험이 필요하지 않은 9개 항목을 구분하여 각각 관의 노후도 등급을 산정하였다. 노후도 예측 모형 적용 결과 항목개수에 따른 등급의 차는 l~2% 이내로 굴착 및 실험을 하지 않고도 노후도 예측이 가능한 것으로 나타났다. 최적 개량 모형은 노후도 항목별 최대 잔존수명과 제약조건 유무로 구분하여 적용하였다. 적용결과 항목별 최대 잔존수명의 증가에 따라 개량 시기 및 비용이 증가하였다. 또한 예산제약을 제외한 모형과 비교해서 예산제약을 고려한 모형이 모든 항목에서 비용이 증가되었다. 이는 예산제약을 고려할 경우 실제 주어진 최대 잔존수명 기간이내 매년 발생하는 예산의 최대 금액을 넘지 않은 대신에 매년 비슷한 비용으로 개량을 실시하기 때문인 것으로 판단되었다.
