송수관이나 배수관은 계획된 필요유량을 특정 지점까지 안전하게 전달할 수 있도록 설계되지만 여러 가지원인으로 인하여 갑작스런 파열이나 균열이 일어난다. 파이프 파괴의 원인으로는 수격현상, 관의노화, 파이프 외부로부터의 충격, 흙의 상태, 그리고 파이프 설치시의 공사여건 등이 있다. 본 연구에서 여러 가지 요인들을 불확실성 인자로 가정하여 파이프의 파괴확률을 산정할 수 있는 신뢰성 해석 모형이 개발되었다. 상수관망의 설계 시 파이프의 두께를 산정하는 주 장력 공식을 이용하여 신뢰함수를 만들고 파이프의 파괴확률을 계산하였다. 신뢰함수를 구성하는 확률변수들 중 파이프의 내압에 대한 분포함수는 정규분포가 아닌 극치분포(Gumbel distribution)를 따른다는 것을 부정류 수치해석 결과로서 알 수 있었고 AFDA(Approximate Full Distribution Approach) 기법을 사용하여 파괴확률을 산정하였다. 신뢰성 모형을 이용하여 파이프의 두께, 직경, 허용응력, 그리고 파이프 내압에 따른 파괴확률을 정량적으로 산정할 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 개발된 신뢰성 해석모형을 이용하여 보다 안전하고 경제적인 송배수관의 설계기법을 구축할 수 있을 것이다.

회전 열파이프의 열전달 성능은 액막 두께 및 증발부로 귀환되는 응축 액막 유동율에 의해 결정된다. 그 동안 응축액 유동율을 촉진시키기 위하여 용기 내벽에 groove, 테이퍼 및 나선형 코일을 삽입하여 유동율을 높이는 방법들이 연구되었다. 본 연구도 회전 열파이프의 내부 관벽 구조에 관한 것으로써 삼각 단면을 갖는 회전 열파이프의 열전달 특성을 파악하고자 하였다. 삼각 단면을 갖는 회전 열파이프는 고속 회전 영역에서 모서리 부분으로 액막이 집중되어 관 내벽에 형성되는 액막 두께를 줄일 수 있으나 증발부에서 국부적인 과열이 발생되어 불안정한 작동 상태를 나타내었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 개선방안으로 증발부에 부분적으로 원형관을 접합하였으며, 그 결과 dry-out의 억제와 함께 삼각 유동 단면에 의한 액막 두께 감소 효과를 볼 수 있었다. 회전체 발열부 냉각에 적용시키기 위해서는 앞으로 최적의 기하학적 형상에 따른 충전율 및 액막에서의 열전달에 대한 정량적인 해석 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

회전 히트파이프의 열 전달 특성은 내부 관벽에 형성되는 응축 액막 두께와 증발부로 귀한되는 응축액의 유동율에 의해 결정된다. 본 연구는 축 방향으로 그루브(groove)를 갖는 회전 히트파이프의 열 전달 성능에 대한 실험 연구로써, 그루브에 의한 효과를 파악하기 위해 2종류의 히트파이프를 제작하고 작동성은 시험을 수행하였다. 회전 히트파이프가 작동시, 원심력에 의해 그루브로 응축액의 유동을 촉진시키며, 따라서 응축부 벽면에 형성되는 액막 두께가 얇게 된다. 응축부에 그루브를 갖는 히트파이프의 열전달 계수는 풀 유동에서 2000~4000W/$m^2$$^{0}$ C, 환상 유동 영역에서 1500~2500W/$m^2$$^{0}$ C로써, 전체 원형단면을 갖는 히트파이프와 비교하여 약 1.5배 정도의 열저달 향상을 볼 수 있었으며, 열전달 한계는 약 40% 정도 향상되는 것으로 나타났다.

In this paper, effects on the heat transport limitation of heat pipe by the wick structural factors were theoretically analyzed for the sintered-copper wick heat pipe. Uniformity of particle size and sintering process were acted as dominant factors on the pore distribution and wick porosity, and small deviations of the wick thickness and the pore size greatly affected the heat transport limitations of the heat pipe. Especially, slight variations of the wick thickness, mean particle radius and capillary radius along the vapor temperatures and inclination angles remarkably changed the capillary limitation of the heat pipe.

In this study, we investigated the wear measurement methods for slurry pipe applied in the field of mining and oil sand industry and theoretical equations related to the prediction of wear in slurry pipe through literature review. Average daily wear rate and wear rate per excavated distance were determined from slurry discharge pipe thickness measurement data periodically measured at the actual slurry shield TBM site in Singapore. The wear rate of slurry pipe for Bukit Timah Granite was obtained. The wear rates for G (V) grade and mixed zone were 1.5 times higher than that of G (I) to G (IV) grade. Slurry pipe wear rate tends to increase in proportion to the slurry discharge velocity. The optimal slurry pipe replacement or rotation frequency can be estimated through the selection of the pipe wear rate considering geological condition and the reasonable pipe management thickness.

A piping system is a structure composed of pipes with various thickness, diameter and length. Accurate analysis of a piping system requires a complicated three dimensional finite element model and a computer system with large memory size, while a simplified model may result in system response prediction with deteriorated accuracy. An efficient analysis model for piping systems is proposed in the present study. The proposed model is developed by introducing pipe joint elements which accounts for the behavior of a pipe joint. Pipes are represented by beam elements and the effect of local deformation of pipe joints is replaced by joint element deformations. The proposed model which is as simple and efficient as a beam model can be used to obtain piping system response with accuracy close to that of a finite element model.

Deformation behavior and stability of vertical pipeline subjected to underground excavation have been studied by means of numerical analysis. Vortical ground displacements cause the pipe to be compressed, while horizontal ones cause it to be bent. In that region the vertical pipeline meets with the induced compressive stress and bending stress. In addition horizontal rock stress subjected to underground excavation may press the tube in its radial direction and it finally produces the tangential stress of pipe. In this study active gas well system is considered as an example of vertical pipelines. Factor analysis has been conducted which has great influence on the pipeline behavior. Three case studies are investigated which have the different pillar widths and gas well locations in pillar. For example, where overburden depth is 237.5 m and thickness of coal seam is 2.5 m, chain pillar of 45.8 m width in the 3-entry longwall system is proved to maintain safely the outer casing of gas welt which is made of API-55 steel, 10$\frac{3}{4}$ in. diameter and 0.4 in. thickness. Finally an active gas well which was broken by longwall mining is analyzed, where the induced shear stress turn out to exceed the allowable stress of steel.

This paper proposes a theoretical solution of elastic critical buckling load of infinitely long pipelines with non-uniform thickness under external pressure. The non-uniform cross section of pipelines can be considered as corroded or stiffened pipelines so that this paper can be a fundamental research of pipelines that are essential technology for offshore industries. The theoretical solution of pipelines with non-uniform thickness is derived with an assumption that a cylindrical shell under external pressure can be considered as a simple ring. The eigenfunctions are derived to obtain the critical buckling load. The reduced thickness and the reduced range are considered as variables in parametric analysis. The finite element analysis is performed to verify the theoretical solutions and the results of the analytic method and the finite element method are in good agreement.

Theoretical analysis for predicting the heat transport limitations of screen mesh wick and sintered wick heat pipes was performed. The heat pipe diameter was 8mm and water was used for working fluid. For the 250 mesh, each capillary pressures and heat transport limitations, thermal resistances were analyzed according to the operating temperatures, wick thicknesses and inclination angles, based on the effective capillary radius (r$\_$c/), porosity ($\varepsilon$) and permeability (K). The wick capillary limitation was increased as the operating temperature and the wick thickness were increased, and generally the sintered wick showed higher heat transport limitations than that of the screen wick. The thermal resistance of the screen wick was higher than that of the sintered wick and both thermal resistances were linearly increased as the wick thickness was increased.
