We hydrogeologically studied a mountainous area and its vulnerability to groundwater contamination. Groundwater flow and recharge occur mainly through a network of fractures in this areaTransmissivity and storativity obtained from slug, slug interference, and pumping tests range from 3.2$\times$10$^{-3}$ to 2.0$\times$10$^{-2}$$m^2$/min and 1.3$\times$10$^{-7}$ to 9.15$\times$10$^{-4}$, respectively. The groundwater was contaminated bylivestock activities in the upgradient. The groundwater in the downgradient residential area wasthreatened by the upgradient livestock activities.

A total of 17 experimental data for the onset of slugging, which is assumed to be the precursor of the condensation-induced waterhammer (CIWH), have been obtained for various How rates of water Incorporating the most recent correlations of interfacial heat transfer and friction factor developed for a circular geometry and using an improved criterion of transition from stratified to a slug flow, two existing analytical models to predict lower and upper bounds for CIWH have been upgraded. Applicability of the present as well as existing CIWH models has been tested by comparison with two sets of CIWH data. The result of this comparison shows that the applicability of the present as well as existing models is reasonably good. Based on the present models for CIWH, a computer code entitled as“KAIST-CIWH”has been developed and sample guide charts to find CIWH free regions for a given combination of major flow parameters in a long horizontal pipe have been presented along with the results of parametric studies of major parameters (D, P, $T_{f,in}$, and L/D) on the critical inlet water flow rate（$W_{f,in}_crit$ for both lower and upper bounds. In addition, two simple formulas for lower and upper bounds that can be used in an emergency for quick results have been presented.

In this study, relevant to impact extrusion process of the rectangular batter case for electric vehicles, numerical and experimental analyses were conducted to reduce the earring defects induced in the unevenness of metal flow. Since the earring is caused by the non-uniform metal flow induced in the friction and aspect ratio in the bottom section. As a way to reduce the earring, variable land die concept was applied. In order to analyze numerically the complex metal flow by using commercial finite element package, DEFORM 3D, impact extrusion process was simplified in upsetting mode at bottom section and extrusion mode at land section. The impact extrusion experiments were conducted to verify the assessment of process parameter for impact extrusion. As results, variable land die which has longer longitudinal section makes reduce earring defects. In addition, it was confirmed that the effect that slug shape like dog-bone also can reduce the earring. This study is expected to be able to present the useful design guidelines for manufacturing the battery case.

This study area has been contaminated by oils. To identify contaminated ranges and to assess the possibility of contamination dispersion, monitoring wells were installed and slug test, field soil permeability test, automatic or manual measurement of groundwater table, and groundwater quality analyses in field and laboratory were performed. In addition, a groundwater modeling program was used to assess the possibility of oil contamination dispersion, based on field data and groundwater quality data. The results showed that concentration of oil contaminants in groundwater have been decreased by dispersion and adsorption.

차세대원자로의 붕산희석사고시 노심에 유입되는 저농도 붕산수 slug의 혼합현상에 대한 해석을 수행하였다. FLUENT V4.47을 이용하여 inherent event와 external event로 분류되는 SBLOCA시와 SIS 주입에 따른 급속붕산희석현상에 대해 인차원 축대칭을 가정하여 해석을 수행하였다. 각각의 경우에 대하여 사고시 노심에 추가되는 정반응도는 1.86 %$\Delta$$\rho$ 이하로 계산되었으며, 이 결과는 원자로정지여유도 6.5 %$\Delta$$\rho$다 작은 값을 가지므로 원자로의 안전성을 유지하기에 충분한 여유를 갖는 것으로 해석되었다.

The computational scheme on a irradiation temperature of U-10Zr fuel was established considering porosity formation, bond sodium infiltration and constituent redistribution. Thermotransport theory was adapted to model the redistribution phenomenon. As a results, the bond sodium seems to be logged in the outer region of fuel slug. The main driving force for constituent redistribution appears to be the Zr solubility change along to radial position of the fuel. It is evident that the heat of transport also has some contribution to the redistribution.

Membrane bioreactor(MBR) processes have been widely applied to wastewater treatment for last decades due to its excellent capability of solid-liquid separation. However, membrane fouling was considered as a limiting factor in wide application of the MBR process. Excess aeration into membrane surface is a common way to control membrane fouling in most MBR. However, the excessively supplied air is easily dissipated in the reactor, which results in consuming energy and thus, it should be modified for effective control of membrane fouling. In this study, cylindrical tube was introduced to MBR in order to use the supplied air effectively. Membrane fibers were immersed into the cylindrical tube. This makes the supplied air non-dissipated in the reactor so that membrane fouling could be controlled economically. Two different air supplying method was employed and compared each other; nozzle and porous diffuser which were located just beneath the membrane module. Transmembrane pressure(TMP) was monitored as a function of airflow rate, flux, and ratio of the tube area and cross-sectioned area of membrane fibers(A$_m$/A$_t$). Flow rate of air and liquid was regulated to obtain slug flow in the cylindrical tube. With the same flow of air supply, nozzle was more effective for controlling membrane fouling than porous diffuser. Accumulation of sludge was observed in the tube with the nozzle, if the air was not suppled sufficiently. Reduction of membrane fouling was dependent upon the ratio, A$_m$/A$_t$. For diffuser, membrane fouling was minimized when A$_m$/A$_t$ was 0.27, but 0.55 for nozzle.

증기폭발현상에 대한 기존의 연구내용들이 개괄적으로 소개되었다. 지난 30여년간 대규모 및 소규모 증기폭발에 대해 수많은 이론 및 실험적 연구가 진행되어 왔으나 아직 많은 과제들이 미해결의 상태로 남아 있다. 이들은 (1) 연료-냉각수 접촉양식의 영향 (2) 초기 혼합과정에 대한 에너지 전달 및 유동해석 (3) 연료파괴 과정에 대한 정량적 해석 (4) 폭발과정의 전파에 대한 제인자의 영향 (5) 팽창과정 중 슬러그(slug)의 영향 등이며 현상 자체의 난이성과 위 험성에 비추어 볼 때 해석에 많은 문제점을 안고 있다. 그러나 과학적인 호기심과 더불어 산 업재해 방지 및 현상의 생산적 이용이라는 최종목표에 도달하기 위해서는 체계적으로 집중적인 연구가 꾸준히 계속되어야 할 것이다.

Microgravity experiments were conducted to determine the effect of liquid and gas superficial velocities on flow behaviors. Flow behaviors observed under microgravity conditions can be classified into five flow patterns: bubble. Taylor bubble, slug, semi-annular and annular flows. Transition boundary between four flow patterns could be determined by drift-flux model. It was also found that the effect of gravity and pipe inclination on flow pattern transition was not significant in the inertia dominant region.
