Wall thinning of pipeline in power plants occurs mainly by flow acceleration corrosion (FAC), cavitation erosion (C/E), liquid droplet impingement erosion (LDIE). Wall thinning by FAC and C/E has been well investigated; however, LDIE in plant industries has rarely been studied due to the experimental difficulty of setting up a long injection of highly-pressurized air. In this study, we designed a long-term experimental system for LDIE and investigate the behavior of LDIE for three kinds of materials (A106B, SS400, A6061). The main control parameter was the air-water ratio (${\alpha}$), which was defined as the volumetric ratio of water to air (0.79, 1.00, 1.72). In order to clearly understand LDIE, the spraying velocity (${\nu}$) of liquid droplets was controled larger then 160 m/s and the experiments were performed for 15 days. Therefore, this research focuses relation between erosion rate and air-water ratio on the various pipe-flow materials. NPP(nuclear power plant)'s LDIE prediction theory and management technique were drawn from the obtained data.

The jet pump can be used in a test device of a nuclear reactor for high flow amplification as it reduces inlet flow requirement and thereby size of the process components. In the present work, a miniature jet pump was designed to meet high flow amplification greater than 3. Subsequently, experiments were carried out using a test setup for design validation and performance evaluation of the jet pump for different parameters. It was observed that a minimum pressure of 0.6 bar (g) was required for the secondary fluid inside the jet pump to ensure cavitation free performance at high amplification. Spacing between the nozzle tip and the mixing chamber entry point had significant effect on the performance of the jet pump. Variation in primary flow, temperature and area ratio also affected the performance. It was observed that at high flow amplification, the analytical solution differed significantly from experimental results due to very large velocities encountered in the miniature size jet pump.

본 실험은 고점성 미강유의 액체 미립화를 향상시키기 위해 초음파 에너지를 적용하여 미립화 특성을 규명하고자 수행하였다. 식물유의 미립화 실험장치는 유사하게 1마력의 구동모터와 노즐을 장착할 수 있는 인젝터 및 소형분사 펌프 등으로 구성되어 있는 분사장치, 액적의 분산을 막기 위한 포집장치, 공급되는 연료에 초음파 진동을 가해주는 초음파 장치, 그리고 미립화 정도를 측정하기 위한 PDPA 시스템으로 구성되어 있다. 핀틀형 노즐에서 된끝각을 5$^{\circ}$ $10^{\circ}$ 15$^{\circ}$이며, 분사압력은 10, 13, 16 Mpa의 조건으로 실험하였다. 이 때 포집거리 300mm로 하였다. 노즐 분사 압력에 따른 분무 평균입경을 측정하기 위하여 노즐테스터를 대기압 상태에서 핀틀링 노즐의 스프링 크기를 조절하여 분무 평균입경(SMD)은 상용연료 공급장치 보다 초음파 연료공급 장치의 경우 Pintle형 노즐에서는 SMD를 기준으로 하여 10% 미립화 상승효율을 얻을 수 있었다. 따라서 본 실험에서는 초음파 진동에너지를 연료에 공급함으로써 고점성연료의 미립화 개선이 이루어지고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

The present article deals with the numerical calculations for the inter-spray impingement of two diesel sprays under the conditions of high injection pressure. The Wave model involving the cavitation effect inside the nozzle was used for describing the atomization process. In particular, a hybrid model for drop collision was newly suggested in this study and compared with the O'Rourk's model, which has been widely used for diesel sprays. The impingement angles of 60 and 90 degrees were considered for simulation of non-evaporative diesel sprays. The calculated results for tip penetration were compared with experimental data and the Sauter Mean Diameter(SMD) characteristic was analyzed. It was concluded that the hybrid model slightly shows better agreement with experimental data than the O'Rourke's model. However, the more elaborate study should be needed for better understanding of spray-to-spray impingement phenomena.

The most common pipe wall thinning degradation mechanisms that can occur in the steam and feedwater systems are FAC (Flow Acceleration Corrosion), cavitation, flashing, and LDIE (Liquid Droplet Impingement Erosion). Among those degradation mechanisms, FAC has been investigated by many laboratories and industries. Cavitation and flashing are also protected on the piping design phase. LDIE has mainly investigated in aviation industry and turbine blade manufactures. On the other hand, LDIE has been little studied in NPP (Nuclear Power Plant) industry. This paper presents the development of prediction system for pipe wall thinning caused by LDIE in terms of erosion rate based on air-water ratio and material. Experiment is conducted in 3 cases of air-water ratio 0.79, 1.00, and 1.72 using the three types of the materials of A106B, SS400, and A6061. The main control parameter is the air-water ratio which is defined as the volumetric ratio of water to air (0.79, 1.00, 1.72). The experiments were performed for 15 days, and the surface morphology and hardness of the materials were examined for every 5 days. Since the spraying velocity (v) of liquid droplets and their contact area ($A_c$) on specimens are changed according to the air-water ratio, we analyzed the behavior of LDIE for the materials. Finally, the prediction equations(i.e. erosion rate) for LDIE of the materials were determined in the range of the air-water ratio from 0 to 2%.

현재 다양한 형태의 선박에서 채용되고 있는 프로펠러에 의한 추진 방법은 선박의 속력이 고속이 되면 프로펠러 날개 상에 발생하는 캐비테이션을 피할 수 없기 때문에 이로 인하여 프로펠러의 효율이 저하 되거나 날개 자체에 손상이 발생하게 된다. 이러한 현상을 예방하고자 고속으로 항해하는 선박에서는 초월공동 프로펠러나 워터제트 등이 많이 사용되고 있다. 본고에서는 현대선박해양연구소에서 초고속선 개발의 일환으로 추진되고 있는 워터제트 추진 모형시험에 대하여 간략하게 논하고자 한다. 대상 모형선박은 길이가 5.3cm인 쌍동선으로서 내부에 워터제트를 설치하였다. 모형시험시 흔히 발생할 수 있는 오차를 최소화 하기 위하여 하나의 모터에 2개의 축을 연결하여 워터제트 내부의 임펠라를 구동하는 방식을 채용하였으며 워터제트 출구에서의 압력을 계측하여 유량으로 환산한 후 발생하는 추력을 계산하였다. 압력은 출구 주위에 pressure tab을 설치한 후 이를 비닐튜브를 사용하여 압력센서에 연결하여 계측하였다.

The ejector type microbubble generator, which is the method to supply air to water by using cavitation in the nozzle, does not require any air supplier so it is an effective and economical. Also, the distribution of the size of bubbles is diverse. Especially, the size of bubbles is smaller than the bubbles from a conventional air diffuser and bigger than the bubbles from a pressurized dissolution type microbubble generator so it could be applied to the aeration tank for wastewater treatment. However, the performance of the ejector type microbubble generator was affected by hydraulic pressure and MLSS(Mixed Liquor Suspended Solid) concentration so many factors should be considered to apply the generator to aeration tank. Therefore, this study was performed to verify effects of hydraulic pressure and MLSS concentration on oxygen transfer of the ejector type microbubble generator. In the tests, the quantity of sucked air in the nozzle, dissolved oxygen(DO) concentration, oxygen uptake rate(OUR), oxygen transfer coefficient were measured and calculated by using experimental results. In case of the MLSS, the experiments were performed in the condition of MLSS concentration of 0, 2,000, 4,000, 8,000 mg/L. The hydraulic pressure was considered up to $2.0mH_2O$. In the results of experiments, oxygen transfer coefficient was decreased with the increase of MLSS concentration and hydraulic pressure due to the increased viscosity and density of wastewater and decreased air flow rate. Also, by using statistical analysis, when the ejector type microbubble generator was used to supply air to wasterwater, the model equation of DO concentration was suggested to predict DO concentration in wastewater.
