  • Pipeline is making the most use of transportation of petroleum products on the land. But due to tremendous accident or environmental disaster by oil pipeline leak or pipeline stolen, leak detection systems have been used for preventing it. Leak detection method based on negative pressure wave has been used at the long distance pipeline. But even if it has showed good leak detection quality, due to making a lot of false alarm, it has weak point that disturbs concentration to system. This study suggests algorithm and method of using volume balance to decrease false-alarm of pipeline leak detection system based on negative pressure wave.

  • In the building process of FPSOs(floating production, storage and offloading units) is the increasing demand of high performance piping joints that can be installed on its turret system and maintain smooth and long-term flow of ultra-high pressure crude oil, being subjected to external excitations such as wind and wave on the sea. Following such a trend, in this paper, a new-type piping joint of four effective degrees of freedom has been designed, and its dynamic characteristics predicted through mathematical modeling and computer simulations. Moreover, via an example it was shown how the yaw motion in particular can be independently controlled for future durability test despite strong kinetic couplings.

  • Conveyor-type transporters have been widely used as a typical delivery system of semi-conductor, FPD and other IT-related products. However, as the IT-product is getting larger in size and higher in resolution, several problems are caused by mechanical contacts between the transporter and target object. In this context, recently, lots of efforts are being devoted for development of various contact-free handling systems to get rid of deffets and oil contaminations. The objectives of this paper are to characterize suspension mechanisms and to investigate air flow effects on air levitation transport system. For this purpose, a series of CFD analyses were carried out and the simulation data showed a good agreement with the corresponding experimental ones. It is anticipated that the promising result can be used as a basis for concept design of the transport system.

  • Vehicle emissions from highway landuse include different pollutants such as heavy metals, oil and grease and particulates from fuels, brake pad wear and tire wear. Since highways are impervious and have high pollutant mass emissions from vehicular activity, it is considered as stormwater intensive landuses. Therefore this research was performed to understand the magnitude of first flush and to suggest the criteria of first flush for storm runoff management in highways. The fractions of washed-off mass are very high in first 30% of runoff volume, which suggests a definition of first flush. The washed-off mass stabilizes after 30% of the runoff volume and it is apparent that treatment capacity in the early part of a storm is more valuable than treatment capacity in the later part of the storm. Using the criteria of "high" first flush and "medium" first flush, as 50% of the mass in the first 30% of the volume, and 30 to 50% in the first 30% volume, respectively, more than 30% of the storms showed high first flush. A "first flush friendly" best management practice(BMP), meaning a BMP that can treat a high percentage or all of the initial flow, would be advantageous up to 80% of the events.

  • This paper presents vibration control of a CD-ROM(compact disc-read only memory) drive feeding system consisting of a new type of CD-ROM mount using an electro-rheologocal(ER) fluid. Chemically treated starch particles and silicon oil are used for EF fluid, and its field-dependent yield stresses are experimentally distilled under both the shear and the flow modes. On the basis of the yield stress, an appropriate size of ER CD-ROM mount adapted to conventional feeding system is designed and manufactured. Vibration isolation performance of the proposed mount is evaluated in the frequency domain and compared with that of conventional rubber mount. The ER CD-ROM mount is then installed to the drive feeding system and the system equation of motion is derived. The skyhook controller is then incorporated with the fuzzy technique to improve the performance of ER CD-ROM mount. A set of fuzzy parameters and control rules are obtained from a relation between vertical displacement and pitching motion of the feedng system. Followingthe formulation of the fuzzy-skyhook controller, computer simulation is undertaken in order to evaluate vibration suppression of the CD-ROM drive feeding system subjected to various excitations.

  • This paper describes an experimental study on the droplet formation and the subsequent motion in a microchannel having a cross junction. While one kind of liquid (pure water or water-surfactant mixture) is drawn into a horizontal inlet channel, the other kind (oil) is introduced through two vertical inlet channels. Due to the effect of surface tension on the interface between the two fluids, the droplets of the first fluid are formed near the cross junction. In this study, we have found that the droplet formation is affected even by slight difference in the surface tension. When the surface tension between two fluids is decreased, the droplet size is decreased in order to keep the equilibration between the pressure and the surface tension. In addition, the time interval between each of the droplet formations is decreased and the distance between droplets is also decreased when the surface tension is decreased.

  • In the present work, decoloring of acid dye solution by the diethylaminoethylated cellulosic adsorbents($CA_{DASE}$) was studied with the aim of developing polymeric adsorbents for the treatment of colored wastewaters. To prepare the cellulosic adsorbents, the $CA_{DASE}$ cellulose and polyvinyl alcohol mixture(80 wt% cellulose content) were crosslinked by tryacryloyl hexahydro-s-tryazine(TAHHT), ammonium phosphate and then treated with solutions containing sodium hydroxide and 2-diethylaminoethyl chloride. Batch and flow method were employed to determine decoloring capacity of C $A_{DEAE}$ for C.I.acid yellow 49. $CA_{DASE}$ exhibited much better desorption capacity than activated carbon. Furthermore, the exhausted $$CA{DASE} could be readily regenerated by washing with dilute sodium hydroxide.

  • The acid value of the oil extracted from the three kinds of 15 fried foods ranged from 0.89 to 3.92, the peroxide value ranged 10.0~57.14 meg/kg. Among the samples, popcorn chicken contained the highest crude fat content, showing $6.64{\pm}0.26(%)$, while the french-fries showed $2.87{\pm}0.31(%)$, which was the lowest. The content of the trans fatty acid per 100 g of the foods were; the fried foods: 0.02~0.06 g. The french-fries contained the lowest saturated fatty acid per 100 g of the foods, showing 0.41~1.55 g, while the popcorn chicken showed the highest content, 1.16~3.43 g. The fried foods contained the highest linoleic acid content. Further, fried foods exhibited safe levels of trans fat content. The "School Zone", which sells snacks, candies, chocolates flow, was not detected in the saccharin. Cookies, candies, chocolate was not detected in the tar colors. Aerobic plate count were ranged from 0~4,700 cfu/g in cookies, Salmonella test came out negative.

  • In this paper, a 3-dimensional multi-layer current simulation program is allied to real shore area near Inchon harbor with highly irregular bottom and continental geometry. The effects of bottom topography on vertical structures of the ocean tidal current is investigated through comparing the calculated results by 2-dimensional depth averaged approach and the present method. Wind induced current, which may be more dominant factor in Predicting oil spill behavior, is also simulated by the present computation algorithm. Comparison shows quite large differences not only in vertical distribution of the current but also in the direction of the surface current.

  • As the oil price is dramatically jumping up, the consumption of LNG is rapidly expanding and the size of LNG carriers becomes bigger. For LNG ships, the application of DF (Dual-Fuel) engines gradually increases because of high efficiency, which alternatively use diesel or BOG (Boil-Off Gas) from cargo tank as a fuel. The surplus BOG from LNG cargo tank should be exhausted by GCU or liquefied through the BOG reliquefaction system and returned back. This study focused into its operational characteristics through the process simulation using HYSYS and discussed details on the influence of the variations of some operational parameters such as a distribution ratio by the change of fuel mass flow into the DF engine.
