A number of components installed in the secondary system of nuclear power plants are exposed to aging mechanisms such as FAC (Flow-Accelerated Corrosion), Cavitation, Flashing, and LDIE (Liquid Droplet Impingement Erosion). Those aging mechanisms can lead to thinning of the components. In April 2013, one (1) inch small bore piping branched from the main steam line experienced leakage resulting from wall thinning in a 1,000 MWe Korean PWR nuclear power plant. During the normal operation, extracted steam from the main steam line goes to condenser through the small bore piping. The leak occurred in the downstream of an orifice. A control valve with vertical flow path was placed on in front of the orifice. This paper deals with UT (Ultrasonic Test) thickness data, SEM images, and numerical simulation results in order to analyze the extent of damage and the cause of leakage in the small bore piping. As a result, it is concluded that the main cause of the small bore pipe wall thinning is liquid droplet impingement erosion. Moreover, it is observed that the leak occurred at the reattachment point of the vortex flow in the downstream side of the orifice.

반도체 제조에 사용하는 특수가스를 공급하는 설비는 인화성·독성·부식성을 지닌 유해·위험물질을 주로 취급하는데, 이러한 공급설비로는 주로 가스캐비닛이 사용되고 있다. 가스캐비닛 내 파열판을 통한 누출, 누출 개구부의 확대가 가능한 누출, 누출 개구부가 확대되지 않는 누출의 케이스별로 공급장치 내부 상태 및 외부로의 확산 영향을 누출 원인별로 분석하였다. 이 경우 누출 단면적에 따라 공급장치 외부로 가스가 누출되는 경우가 발생함을 확인하였다. 외부로 누출되는 가스의 농도에 따라 폭발분위기 형성 등 위험성이 존재하는 요인으로 작용하며, 위험에 따라 공급설비의 안전운전절차 등 제반 조치사항을 다시 검토할 필요가 있음을 확인하였다.

In this paper, the cause of the discrepancy of the inlet and outlet flow of the lubricating oil feed pump was analyzed by the flow measurement and the analysis of the flow network. At first, we thought that the flow difference was induced by a leak in the middle of the flow network. But, through the flow measurement using ultrasonic flow meter and the performance analysis of the pump, we knew that the cause of the flow difference was due to a drop in efficiency of the pump according to the pressure drop of the outlet. Also, we knew that the shape of the piping had no effect on the efficiency of the pump.

배관망 내에서 측정된 압력값이 정상 또는 기준 압력으로부터 벗어나는 정도는 배관망의 운전 상황을 평가하는데 매우 유용한 정보이다. 공급 및 수요 측에서 측정된 조건에 기초하여 배관망 내의 압력변화를 정확히 예측할 수 있다면, 비용면에서 효율적인 배관망 모니터링 및 누출감지가 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 배관에서의 압축성 유체의 일차원 유동방정식에 기초하여 배관망 해석 프로그램을 개발하였다. 직선 배관에서의 유동해석 결과를 이전 연구자의 결과와 비교하여 본 해석의 신뢰성을 검증하였다. 또한 단순한 형상의 도시가스 배관망에 대하여 압력과 유량 변화를 해석하여 본 프로그램의 활용가능성을 보였다.

The safe operation of high pressure pipe line systems is of significant importance. Leaks due to faulty operation from the pipelines can lead to considerable product losses and to exposure of community to dangerous gases. There are several leak detection methods of pipeline network which have recently been suggested. The negative pressure wave detection technology, which has advantages of short time detection availability, accurate leaking location estimate capability and cost effective, is concentrated in this study. Theoretical analysis of the flow characteristics for leaking through a hole on the pipe wall has been performed by using Fluent 6.3, commercial CFD package. The results of 3-dimensional analysis near leaking hole confirm the occurrence of negative pressure wave, and the results of 2-dimensional analysis verify the characteristics of propagation of the wave which travels with speed equal to the speed of sound in the pipeline contents. Characteristics of leakage and pressure in a pipe with a hole have been analyzed for the various pipe and hole sizes.

This study result is obtained by flow analysis according to opening and shutting angle of ball valve. As opening and shutting angle becomes larger, vortex flow becomes smaller and flow rate becomes increased. And the pressure drop is shown to be smaller at the inlet and outlet of ball. As this angle becomes larger, mass flow rate becomes increased. Its rate becomes increased abruptly in case of opening and shutting angle at more than $60^{\circ}$.This analysis result can be applied usefully with no leak at pipe system field by the optimum control of mass flow rate according to opening and shutting of ball valve.

This paper describes the design, fabrication and characteristics of a piezoelectric valve using MCA(Multilayer ceramic actuator). The MCA valve, which has the buckling effect, consists of three separate structures; MCA, a valve actuator die and an a seat die. The design of the actuator die was done by FEM modeling and displacement measurement, respectively. The valve seat die with 6 trenches was made, and the actuator die, which is driven to MCA under optimized conditions, was also fabricated. After Si-wafer direct bonding between the seat die and the actuator die, MCA was also anodic bonded to the seat/actuator die structure. PDMS sealing pad was fabricated to minimize a leak-rate. It was also bonded to seat die and SUS package. The MCA valve shows a flow rate of 9.13 sccm at a supplied voltage of 100 V with a 50 % duty cycle, maximum non-linearity was 2.24 % FS and leak rate was $3.03{\times}10^{-8}\;pa{\cdot}m^3/cm^2$. Therefore, the fabricated MCA valve is suitable for a variety of flow control equipment, a medical bio-system, automobile and air transportation industry.
