An electric water pump for engine cooling system has an advantage which particularly in the cold start, the use of the electric water pump saves fuel and leads to a corresponding reduction in emissions. The canned type electric water pump without mechanical sealing elements was selected to meet the requirements for operational reliability and life. However, the electric water pump for internal combustion engine generates much more heat loss than for hybrid electric vehicle since it is operated by the electric power of high current and low voltage. In this study, the fluid flow and thermal characteristics of the canned type electric water pump as an inverter integrated water pump has been investigated under the effects of heat generation. The analysis conditions such as outdoor air temperature of $125^{\circ}C$, water pump speed of 6000 rpm, coolant temperature of $106^{\circ}C$ and coolant flow rate of 120 L/min was used as a standard condition. Therefore, flow fields and temperature distribution inside the water pump were obtained. Also, we checked the feasibility of the canned type for the electric water pump in comparison with the mechanical seal type.

The purpose of this experiment is to modify diagnosis criterion of isothermal relaxation current(IRC) measurement equipment which is using for distribution cable diagnosis. We're using this system for several years in the field instead of DC leakage current measurement and lots of cables were replaced. But we have to investigate on the reliability of this equipment for our cables because we didn't carried out condition assessment of extracted cables after field diagnosis by this equipment. It is important thing for cable maintenance. If the replacement criterion is improper we can not prevent failures or will waste budget on account of replacement of the sound cables. In this paper we selected field installed cables and injected silicone fluid to the cables for insulation rehabilitation. In order to prove reliability of the diagnosis equipment we compared diagnosis results and AC breakdown strength according to operating time after silicone treatment. This is the results of the field test for 1 year.

상수관망의 용수는 수용가가 사용하기에 불편함이 없는 적절한 유량과 압력으로 사용성이 충분히 만족된 상태에서 공급되어야 한다. 상수도 시스템의 수리학적 해석 방법으로 사용되는 Demand Driven Analysis (DDA) 방법은 관망의 수리학적 상태가 변화했을 때 부압이 발생하는 등 비현실적인 결과를 발생시킬 수 있다. Pressure Driven Analysis (PDA) 방법은 비정상상태에서의 압력 및 공급량의 변화를 알기 위하여, 절점수두-용수공급량 관계 (Head-Outflow Relationship, HOR)를 이용하는데, 이는 실측자료의 부족으로 인하여 대부분의 연구에서는 HOR이 가정되어 사용되었다. 본 연구에서는 PDA 분석에서 단점을 가진 HOR 대신, 절점에서 실제 사용성을 만족시키면서 공급이 가능한 용수량인 유효유량을 제안하였다. 그리고 Subsystem이 격리되었을 때 유효유량의 변화를 산정함으로써 격리된 부분의 관망에 대한 영향을 평가하여 이를 Subsystem 중요도 지수(Subsystem Importance Index, SII)로 정의하였다. 이를 위해 최적화 기법 중 하나인 Harmony Search와 상수관망 해석 프로그램인 EPANET을 결합하여 모형을 구축하였다. 제안된 모형을 대규모 상수관망에 적용하였으며, 본 모형은 상수관망의 유지, 보수 시에 관거 혹은 밸브 등의 처리 우선순위 산정 및 상수관망 신뢰도 평가로 활용 가능할 것으로 판단된다. 또한 유효유량산정을 통하여 상수관망이 실제로 사용함에 불편함이 없을 정도로 용수공급이 얼마나 가능한가를 종전에 비하여 보다 정량적으로 산정 가능하다.

Climate change is strongly threatening the performance of agricultural reservoirs, which are instrumental in ensuring uninterrupted water supplies for rice cultivation in Korea. In this study, various performance indices were derived and overall sustainability of the 400 agricultural reservoirs was evaluated in the context of climate change trends during 1973-2017. Rice crop evapotranspiration, irrigation water requirements, runoff generation in the upstream watershed, and volumetric evaporation losses were plugged into a water balance model to simulate the reservoir operation during the study period. Resilience, reliability, and vulnerability are the three main indicators of reservoir performance, and these were combined into a single sustainability metric to define the overall system credibility. Historical climate data analysis confirmed that the country is facing a gradual warming shift, particularly in the central and southern agricultural regions. Although annual cumulative rainfall increased over the last 45 years, uneven monthly rainfall distribution during the dry and wet seasons also exacerbated the severity and frequency of droughts/floods. For approximately 85% of the selected reservoirs, the sustainability ranged between 0.35 to 0.77, and this range narrowed sharply with time, particularly for the reservoirs located in the western and southern coast regions. The study outcomes could help in developing the acceptable ranges of the performance indices and implementing appropriate policy and technical interventions for improving the sustainability of reservoirs with unacceptable ranges of the performance indices.

It is difficult to change or remedy concrete structure after hardened. It is usual to evaluate the quality of hardened concrete using several test method. This study was performed to make fundamental data that could be used to evaluate the quality of hardened concrete. This study is to estimate mix proportion of hardened concrete. Each elements of concrete needed different estimation methods. First, the cement that handled by the most important compounds measured by XRF(X-ray fluorecence) machine with scanning Ca-K${\alpha}$. Second, the coarse aggregate that divided by maximum size measured by the area comparison method that starts from the assumption of uniform distribution. Third, the fine aggregate measured by the weight comparison method that needs several prerequsite constants which concerned cement hydration reaction. Fourth, the water content would be estimated by expert system that has data base of design data, the contents of above estimation results, the characteristics of concrete strength. As the result of the above research, some conclusions are as follows. The cement estimation method resulted by reliability of mean 96.7%, standard deviation 3.92. The area comparison method resulted by reliability of mean 95.3%, standard deviation 2.08. The weight comparison method resulted by reliability of mean 93.3%, standard deviation 3.35.

As one of the advanced design features of the APR1400, direct vessel injection (DVI) system is being considered instead of conventional cold leg injection (CLI) system. It is known that the DVI system greatly enhances the reliability of the emergency core cooling (ECC) system. However, there is still a dispute on its performance in terms of water delivery to the reactor core during the reflood phase of a large-break loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA). Thus, experimental validation is under progress. In this paper, test results of direct ECC bypass performed in the steam-water test facility tailed MIDAS (Multi-dimensional Investigation in Downcomer Annulus Simulation) are presented. The test condition is determined, based on the preliminary analysis of TRAC code, by applying the ‘modified linear scaling method’with the l/4.93 length scale . From the tests, ECC direct bypass fraction, steam condensation rate and information on the flow distribution in the upper annulus downcomer region are obtained.

상수관망시스템의 신뢰도를 정량화하기 위한 연구가 최근 활발히 진행되고 있다. 대부분의 연구는 절점의 공급가능수요량, 절점의 수두, 그리고 유량과 수두를 동시에 고려한 에너지(energy)를 이용하여 신뢰도 지수를 개발하였다. 이 중, Energy를 기반으로 하는 신뢰도지수로써 Resilience index(Todini, 2000), Network Resilience index(Prasad, 2004), Modified Resilience index(Jayaram, 2008)와 Entropy Resilience index(Raad, 2010) 등의 연구가 대표적이다. 상수관망시스템에 정상적인 상황을 넘어서는 부담이 가해졌을 때, 이를 완충하거나, 정상적인 용수공급 상황으로 빠르게 회복하는 능력인 복원력(Resilience)을 판단하기 위한 지표로써 제시된 Todini의 Resilience index를 기점으로, 상수관망의 신뢰도(Reliability)을 Energy 측면에서 판단할 수 있는 관련 지표에 대한 연구가 진행되어왔다. 특히, 상수관망의 최적설계 시, 상수관망의 기능적 요소로써 관련 지표들을 비용(Cost)과 함께 다중목적함수로 고려하는 연구까지 다수 진행되고 있으나, 이러한 지표들이 상수관망에서 핵심적인 몇 가지 요소들의 변화에 대하여 어떻게 반응하는지에 대한 분석은 제대로 이루어지지 않고 있다. 본 연구에서는 동일한 상수관망시스템에서 용수의 흐름상황을 크게 좌우할 수 있을 것으로 판단되는 몇 가지 변동상황을 고려하여 이러한 지표들이 각각의 변동상황에 어느정도 민감하게 반영하는지 분석하였다. 여기서, 상수관망시스템의 중요 변화요소로써 1) 수요량의 변화, 2) Loop 개수의 변화, 3) 수원지(Source) 개수의 변화, 4) 해당시스템의 최소 요구수압 변화 등을 고려하였다. 본 연구를 통해, 상수관망시스템의 신뢰도 산정에 활용되고 있는 기존의 지수들이 다양한 변동 상황을 얼마나 잘 반영할 수 있는지를 파악하고, 기존의 지수들을 보완한 개선된 신뢰도 지수의 개발가능성을 모색하도록 한다.

The applied model for this study area is WINFLOW using mite element method, It is thought that the simulation result by WINFLOW model under the steady flow state reflects well the ground water distribution within the reliability level which shows the error range of 1.1% to 8.0% from the comparison between the computed values and the observed, and analyzed that the constant head distribution is shown along the east-west direction and gentle and stable head gradient along the north-south direction. Ground water of the study area shows stable movement from the south to the stream area, and the particle trace for each location shows relatively linear shape from the upstream to the pumping location while the radius of influence according to the pumping amount shows a significant difference at the down stream area from the pumping location. The simultaneous pumping from P and P1 shows more complicated appearance, not the increase of the radius of influence than pumping from a single well P or P1, and it is analyzed that the particle path takes nearly linear form. It is known that the flow direction of the ground water and the velocity of the flow affect on the magnitude of the radius of influence of the wells from the fact that the more decreasing pattern of the ground water head is observed at the side of the well and the down stream area than the upstream area when the ground water moves from south to north regarding the radius of influence according to the pumping amount. Satisfactory results in analyses of ground water movement are obtained through the significant reduction of the physical uncertainties in the flow system as well as the relatively convenient model application using WINFLOW model which is proposed in this study.

One of the major problems in glass fiber reinforced epoxy (GFRE) composite pipes is the durability under water absorption. This condition is generally recognized to cause degradations in strength and mechanical properties. Therefore, there is a need for an intelligent system for detecting the absorption rate and computing the mass of water absorption (M%) as a function of absorption time (t). The present work represents a new non-destructive evaluation (NDE) technique for detecting the water absorption rate by evaluating the dielectric properties of glass fiber and epoxy resin composite pipes subjected to internal hydrostatic pressure at room temperature. The variation in the dielectric signatures is employed to design an electrical capacitance sensor (ECS) with high sensitivity to detect such defects. ECS consists of twelve electrodes mounted on the outer surface of the pipe. Radius-electrode ratio is defined as the ratio of inner and outer radius of pipe. A finite element (FE) simulation model is developed to measure the capacitance values and node potential distribution of ECS electrodes on the basis of water absorption rate in the pipe material as a function of absorption time. The arrangements for positioning12-electrode sensor parameters such as capacitance, capacitance change and change rate of capacitance are analyzed by ANSYS and MATLAB to plot the mass of water absorption curve against absorption time (t). An analytical model based on a Fickian diffusion model is conducted to predict the saturation level of water absorption ($M_S$) from the obtained mass of water absorption curve. The FE results are in excellent agreement with the analytical results and experimental results available in the literature, thus, validating the accuracy and reliability of the proposed expert system.
