A method to mitigate the thermal stratification flow of a horizontal pipe line is proposed by heating external bottom of the pipe with electrical heat tracing. Unsteady two dimensional model has been used to numerically investigate an effect of the external heating on the thermal stratification flow. The dimensionless governing equations are solved by using the control volume formulation and SIMPLE algorithm. Temperature distribution, streamline profile and Nusselt number distributions are analyzed under heating conditions. The numerical results of this study show that the maximum dimensionless temperature difference between hot and cold sections of the inner wall of pipe is 0.424 at dimensionless time of 1,500 and the thermal stratification phenomenon disappears at about dimensionless time of 9,000.

In this paper, the unsteady state calculational model is proposed for the thermal stratification analysis in the feedwater line of the PWR plant. By defining dimensionless parameters in the two-dimensional polar coordinate system and applying SIMPLE algorithm, the temperature and flow profiles due to the thermal stratification are obtained. Base on the fact that the most significant condition occurs when the fluid temperature difference between the piping ends reaches as high as 166.deg. C, the present result shows that max. Dimensionless temperature difference of 0.6 (about l00.deg. C) obtained between hot and cold sections of pipe wall at dimensionless time 47.0.

Up to now a wide variety of researches on inpipe robots for inspection have been introduced, but it still seems to be difficult to construct a robot providing mobility sufficient to navigate inside the complicated configuration of underground pipelines. The robot for the inspection of pipelines should freely move along the basic configuration of pipelines such as along horizontal or vertical pipelines. Moreover it should be able to travel along reducers and elbows, and especially the capability for steering in branches is essential to it. In this report, citical points and technologies in the development of the inpipe inspection robots are introduced and inpipe robots developed for last several years are introduced.

Pipe structures contain many welded zones, and ultrasonic tests are increasingly being performed by using automated testing devices in order to evaluate the weld integrity. An electromagnetic acoustic transducer (EMAT) is a noncontact transducer that can transmit or receive ultrasonic waves without a couplant. Furthermore, it can easily generate specific guided waves such as SH (shear horizontal) or Lamb waves by altering the design of the coil and magnet. Therefore, an EMAT should be useful for application to an automated ultrasonic inspection system. In this study, SH waves generated using an EMAT were applied to inspect the pipe-weld zone. To analyze the specific SH mode (SH0) from the SH wave signals, wavelet transform was applied. It was found that flaws could be detected precisely because the intensity of the $SH_0$ mode-frequency, which is analyzed by using wavelet transform, is proportional to the length of the flaw.

배수설비시스템에 적용되는 각종 기기들의 특징 및 통기관의 선정 방법을 미국의 ASPE code에 제시되어 있는 내용을 중심으로 소개하고자 한다. 건물 내에서 발생하는 오수 및 배수는 항상 건물 외부로 잘 배출시켜야 한다. 이러한 배수시스템은 원활한 배수가 수행되어야 하도록 수평배수관은 적합한 구배를 주어야 하며, 부지경계선 밖에 설치된 공공하수도와 체결하여 한다. 오수배관은 지상에 노출시키거나 사설정화조를 체류하지 않고 우수로에 직접 배출할 수 없다. 배수설비를 설계할 때의 문제점은, 배수배관 및 통기관을 선정시 선정된 관경이 최적화되었는지 평가하는데 있다. 즉, 현존하는 건축물의 배수시스템에서 문제점이 발생하지 않는다고 설계된 배수배관경 및 통기관경이 최적화된 것으로 평가하기에는 어려움이 있다고 판단된다.(중략)

Selective catalytic reduction(SCR) method is widely used among various methods for reducing nitrogen oxides in combustion devices of coal power plant. In the present study, the computational fluid dynamic analysis was accomplished to derive the optimal shape of ammonia-dilution air mixing device in a ammonia injection grid. The distribution characteristics of flow and $NH_3$ concentration had been elucidated for the reference shape of ammonia mixing device(Case 1). In the mixing device of Case 1, it could be seen that $NH_3$ distribution was shifted to the wall opposite to the inlet of the ammonia injection pipe. For the improvement of $NH_3$ distribution, the case(Case 2) with closing one upper injection hole and 4 side injection holes, the case(Case 3) with installing horizontal plate at the upper of ammonia injection pipe, the case(Case 4) with installing horizontal plate and horizontal arc plate at he upper of ammonia injection pipe were investigated by analyzing flow and $NH_3$ concentration distributions. From the present study, it was found that the % RMS of $NH_3$ for Case 4 was 4.92%, which was the smallest value among four cases, and the range of $R_{NH3}$ also has the optimally uniform distribution, -10.82~8.34%.

우주발사체 발사를 위해서는 발사대시스템 개발이 필수적이다. 발사대시스템은 기계설비와 추진제공급설비, 관제설비로 구성되며, 그 중 기계설비는 발사지지대(Launch Pad), 이렉터(Erector), 트랜스포터이렉터(Transport-Erector), 케이블마스트(Cable-mast), 자동체결장치(Auto-coupling Device) 총 다섯 부분으로 나눌 수 있다. 발사지지대는 발사 전까지 발사체를 지지하는 구조물로 발사체의 안전을 보장하고 공급배관 및 통신라인의 경로를 제공한다. 이렉터는 발사준비과정에서 수평으로 이송된 발사체를 2개의 대형 유압실린더를 사용하여 기립시키는 장비로 발사 취소 시 발사체를 수평으로 전환한다. 트랜스포터이렉터는 조립공간에서 조립을 마치고 최종점검이 완료된 발사체를 전용차량을 이용하여 발사대로 이동하고 발사체를 안전하게 잡아준다. 자동체결장치는 지상으로부터 발사체로 연결되는 추진제, 압축가스 등의 연결배관을 자동으로 연결/분리하는 장치이다. 케이블마스트는 우주발사체 상단부의 UCU-E(Umbilical Connectors Unit-Electrical)를 통해서 전기, 고압가스, 고온공기 등을 공급하기 위한 통로로 발사 전까지 발사체시스템과 지상장비와의 통신수단이다. 또한 발사체로 연결되는 라인들을 발사 시에 나오는 후류에 의한 충격으로부터 보호하고, UCU-E가 기계적으로 분리되도록 구성되어 있다. 본 논문은 기존에 적용된 케이블마스트에 대한 구성, 기능 및 운용절차에 관한 것으로, 현재 진행 중인 한국형발사체 개발을 위한 기초 자료조사로 활용하고자 한다.

The purpose of this study is to provide basic data for setting environmental design standards for domestic greenhouses. We conducted experiments on thermal environment measurement at two commercial greenhouses where hot water heating system is adopted. We analyzed heat transfer characteristics of hot water heating pipes and heat emission per unit length of heating pipes was presented. The average air temperature in two greenhouses was controlled to $16.3^{\circ}C$ and $14.6^{\circ}C$ during the experiment, respectively. The average water temperature in heating pipes was $52.3^{\circ}C$ and $45.0^{\circ}C$, respectively. Experimental results showed that natural convection heat transfer coefficient of heating pipe surface was in the range of $5.71{\sim}7.49W/m^2^{\circ}C$. When the flow rate in heating pipe was 0.5m/s or more, temperature difference between hot water and pipe surface was not large. Based on this, overall heat transfer coefficient of heating pipe was derived as form of laminar natural convection heat transfer coefficient in the horizontal cylinder. By modifying the equation of overall heat transfer coefficient, a formula for calculating the heat emission per unit length of hot water heating pipe was developed, which uses pipe size and temperature difference between hot water and indoor air as input variables. The results of this study were compared with domestic and foreign data, and it was found to be closest to JGHA data. The data of NAAS, BALLS and ASHRAE were judged to be too large. Therefore, in order to set up environmental design standards for domestic greenhouses, it is necessary to fully examine those data through further experiments.
