The present study was numerically and experimentally performed to investigate the fire suppression performance of water mist spray subjected to thermal radiation in closed space. Downward-directed water mist sprays to interact with an under kerosine pool fire were investigated in test facility. The mass mean diameters of water mist droplet were measured by PMAS under various flow conditions. The developed water mist spray nozzle was satisfied to the criteria of NFPA 750, Class 1. The mechanism of the fire suppression by water mist was concluded to be cooling of the fire surface which lead to suppressed of fuel evaporation. It was proved that the water mist spray system under lower pressures could be applied to underground fire protection system.

Heat transfer performance of integral-fin tube which is used in recipro turbo refrigerator or high compact heat exchangers is studied. Eight tubes with trapezoidal shaped integral-fins having fin densities from 748 to 1654 fpm and 10, 30 internal grooves are tested. A plain tube having the same(inner and outer) diameter as the fin tubes is also tested for comparison. Pool boiling heat transfer of R-11 is investigated experimentally and theoretically on single tube arrangement. The refrigerant evaporates at saturation state of 1 bar on the outside tube surface and heat is supplied by not water which circulates inside of the tube. From the result of eight fin tubes and one plain tube tested, a tube having 1299 fpm-30 grooves shows the best performance. A maximum overall heat transfer coefficient of this tube is about 4000 $W/m^{2}K$ at 2.8m/s of water velocity. The maximum heat transfer enhancement (i.e., the ratio of overall heat transfer coefficients of finned to plain tubes)is about 2.1.

Five parameters such as the entrance size of the front wall, conduit size, wave period, wave height and the width of water pool were selected to estimate the inflow rate, which is basic and essential input data to design seawater exchange breakwater with a submerged mound by conducting hydraulic model experiments. In the results of multiple regression analysis, log-log equation showed a good agreement rather than linear equation and the estimation of inflow rate was well done with only two parameters except entrance size of the front wall, wave period and the width of water pool. Finally, non-dimensional flow rate equation is derived.

A new empirical correlation was developed for application to the tandem tubes for saturated water at atmospheric pressure. The correlation was obtained by using experimental data and the least square method to calculate the bundle effect. A statistical analysis was performed to identify the suitability of the correlation. The correlation predicted the experimental data within ${\pm}8%$. The applicable ranges of the correlation correspond to a tube pitch of 28.5~114 mm, an elevation angle of $0^{\circ}{\sim}90^{\circ}$, an inclination angle of $0^{\circ}{\sim}90^{\circ}$, and heat fluxes of $0{\sim}120kW/m^2$ of the lower and upper tubes.

A Numerical study was carried out for a propane gas pool fire in the fire test room of $2.5m{\times}2.0m{\times}2.5m$ for testing a inert gas water mist system, to investigate a possible under-ventilation in the fire test room. For the fire sizes of 60 kW and 120 kW, changes in the temperature and CO concentration with and without a window were investigated. It was confirmed that the influence of the window on the distributions of temperature and CO concentration was small in the two fire sizes, and hence the under-ventilation was not occurred in the room.

In this study, hydraulic characteristics for upstream migration of fish in a pool-and-weir fishway were analyzed through experiment. The results showed that streaming flow was preferable to plunging flow for upstream migration of fish and it was not good to make an orifice beneath the septum since it generates turbulent jet and eddies. Protrusions on the side wall of fishway were preferable to grooves since they decelerate flow velocity and make upstream migration easy. A vertically movable septum was necessary for a flushing of deposited bed material, and net installing over fishway was also needed for birds not to approach the fishway and eat fish.

일반적으로 자갈하천의 하상에는 여울, 소의 연쇄 구조(Riffle-pool sequences)가 발생한다. 여울은 수심이 얕아 유속이 빠른 부분이고 소는 수심이 깊어 유속이 느린 부분에 해당한다. 여울과 소의 연쇄구조는 모래하천에서는 보이지 않는데, 여울에서는 빠른 유속으로 인하여 하상의 조립화가 진행되며, 반대로 소에서는 하상이 세립토로 구성된다. 그리고 여울은 하도의 경사에 따라 발생하며, 유속의 빠름과 느림에 따라 크게 평여울과 급여울로 구분할 수 있다. 본 연구의 대상하천인 양양 남대천은 국내에서는 보기 드물게 개발이 거의 되어있지 않으며 조사대상 구간인 어성전(법수치) 계곡을 포함한 양양 남대천 상류 약 0.4 km은 산지하천 구간으로 비교적 자연하천의 상태를 유지하고 있다. 본 연구는 자갈하천의 구간에서 연속적으로 발생하는 여울, 소를 대상으로 하상경사, 하상재료, 수심, 유속 등 물리적 특성을 조사하였다. 이 구간에서의 나타난 여울 구간은 11개소로 구분할 수 있으며, 급여울이 시작되는 구간에서부터 여울과 소는 반복적인 형태로 나타났다. 하상경사는 평여울 구간에서 0.0011-0.0057, 급여울 구간에서 0.0143-0.0201로 나타났다. 하상재료는 $D_{50}$의 경우 평여울 구간에서 3.66-4.63 mm, 급여울 구간에서 3.61-4.63 mm로 나타났다. 이와 같은 연구는 자연하천이 갖는 여울, 소 연쇄구조의 물리적 특성을 이해하고, 자연형 여울, 소를 조성하거나 복원 시 설계를 위한 기초자료로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

A data acquisition and monitoring system was developed for an automated system of a smart fish farm. The fish farm is located in Jang Hang, South Korea, and was designed as circulation filtration system. Information of every aquaculture pool was automatically measured by pH sensors, dissolved oxygen sensors, and water temperature sensors and the data were stored in the database in a remoted server. Modbus protocol was used for gathering the data which were further used to optimize the pool water quality to predict the rate of growth and death of fish, and to deliver food automatically as planned by the fish farmer. By using JSON protocol, the collected data was delivered to the user's PC and mobile phone for analysis and easy monitoring. The developed monitoring system allowed the fish farmers to improve fish productivity and maximize profits.

A radiotracer investigation was carried out in a Thermal Stratification Test Facility (TSTF) with objectives of investigating the dispersion and diffusion of radionuclide and effectiveness of the thermocline to minimize the radionuclide content in the hot water layer. Technetium-99m (^99mTc) as sodium pertechnetate was used as a radiotracer in the investigation. Qualitative analysis showed that a thermocline is formed within the TSTF and is effective in preventing the transport of radionuclide from bottom section to the top section of the facility. It was found that the radiotracer injected at the bottom of the pool took about 17.4 h to disperse from bottom to the top of the facility. The results of the investigation helped in understanding the effectiveness of hot water layer and thus to minimize the pool top radiation levels.
