The evaporation pressure drop of $CO_2$ (R-744) in horizontal tubes was investigated experimentally. The experiments were conducted without oil in a closed refrigerant loop which was driven by a magnetic gear pump. The main components of the refrigerant loop are a receiver, a variable-speed pump, a mass flow meter, a pre-heater and evaporator (test section). The test section consists of a smooth, horizontal stainless steel tube of 7.75 and 4.57 mm inner diameter. The experiments were conducted at saturation temperature of $-5^{\circ}C\;to\;5^{\circ}C$, and heat flux of 10 to $40kW/m^2$. The test results showed the evaporation pressure drop of $CO_2$ are highly dependent on the vapor quality, heat flux and saturation temperature. The pressure drop measured during the evaporation process of $CO_2$ increases with increased mass flux, and decreases as the saturation temperature increased. The evaporation pressure drop of $CO_2$ is very lower than that of R-22. In comparison with test results and existing correlations, the best fit of the present experimental data is obtained with the correlation of Choi et al. But existing correlations failed to predict the evaporation pressure drop of $CO_2$. Therefore, it is necessary to develop reliable and accurate predictions determining the evaporation pressure drop of $CO_2$ in a horizontal tube.

To develop reliable dual pulse rocket motor, vacuum ignition performance at high altitude and design stability for rupture pressure of the Pulse Separation Device(PSD) are required. In this study, rupture pressure analysis method for the membrane type PSD of the dual pulse rocket motor was developed. The PSD rupture pressure formulation was derived from strain-pressure relationships. The PSD vacuum rupture test apparatus and the PSD 1 second vacuum ignition test apparatus were developed, which can simulate the high altitude vacuum environment. Rupture pressure of PSD was analyzed by conducting the PSD vacuum rupture test, and design values of PSD were derived. Finally, vacuum ignition performance and rupture pressure of the designed PSD were validated with PSD 1 second vacuum ignition test.

The pulse gun device is designed to identify the transverse pressure wave propagation/damping mechanism into the combustion flow field and in the combustion chamber according to the arrangement of multiple injectors. The manufactured pulse gun was tested to verify operability at the target combustion pressure and control of the pressure wave intensity. Gas nitrogen was used to pressurize the high-pressure tube and an OHP film of $100{\mu}m$ thickness was used for the diaphragm. To check the speed and intensity of the pressure waves, the dynamic and static pressure were measured using the pressure transducer. The performance test confirmed that the manufactured pulse gun can generate pressure waves with transverse characteristics that can be controled for strength depending on the supply pressure.

In this study, applicability of PMT in domestic area and test procedure were studied. At six test holes of three construction sites in Pusan, PMT using Elastometer-200 type was done. The problems during test were investigated and the test results were analysed. Limit pressure, p$\sub$ι/ could be determined by p- Δv/v method. Using PMT results, marine soil in Pusan could be classified approximately. Net limit pressure value was in the range of 6.4 ∼ 22.5 kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ in clay, 2.2 ∼ 30.0 kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ in sand, 13.0 ∼ 58.0 kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ in weathered soil and 47.0 ∼ 190.0 kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ in weathered rock. Also, E$\sub$m//p$\sub$ι/ value was in the range of 2.4 ∼ 7.0 in clay, 2.6 ∼ 12.1 in sand, 6.8 ∼ 17.1 in weathered soil and 7.2 ∼ 29.6 in weathered rock.

The containment local leakage rate testing in nuclear power plants is performed in accordance with ANSI/ANS-56.8(1994) in Korea. Two methods, the make-up flow rate and the pressure decay, are used for LLRT. Though ANSI/ANS-56.8 does not define clearly the minimum test duration for the make-up flow rate method, it requires obtaining the data after reaching the stable condition. Thus the prerequisite stable condition for data acquisition and the test period for type "C" LLRT is differently applied to each NPPs. Therefore, this study presents a unified test criteria for data stabilization and test duration through experiments to improve the test reliability for type "C".

Hydraulic hose assemblies deliver a fluid power in various oil pressure equipments such as construction machinery, automobile, aircraft, industrial machinery, machine tools, and machinery for ships, or they are used as pipes in oil pressure circuit. However, as the traditional measure for estimating life under the influence of various external factors incurs hardship in terms of time and expenses, it is essential to take accelerated life test by choosing the factor that suits the usage condition of the test object. The objective of the this study is to propose a acceleration model that takes both temperature and pressure without flexing condition into consideration. The life that is calculated by the equation for evaluating life and the test data show similar slopes as a result of comparing and analyzing the equation for evaluating life that is obtained in this research and the test data, which illustrates that they estimate life similarly, and the proposed equation is proved to be an accelerated life equation that presents the test results.

Shaking table tests were performed to reproduce the dynamic behavior of estuary barrage and its subbase soil which can be potentially damaged during earthquake loading. For understanding the vibration effect to the ground during earthquake, the model was formulated with 1/300 scale of prototype estuary barrage and subbase soil. Scott and Iai(1989) proposed the law of the similarity for similar experimental conditions. The laboratory model shaking table test was conducted under the vibration condition of simulated earthquake of 0.154g. The horizontal displacement on the structure was measured during the shaking table test. The pore water pressure was also monitored for the underground layers of soil. The field horizontal displacement and the pore water pressure can be predicted by using the results of the laboratory shaking table test.

Compression index is one of the important characteristic numbers in soft soil engineering. Since 1940's, many researchers have suggested various practical solutions to define the compression index of clay using other soil properties. But, these results are only can give us an outline of soft soil behavior. In this study, the relationships between pore water pressure dissipation test results and compression index were suggested using comparison results of both tests. This relationships are based on basic concept of consolidation phenomena, essential difference between pore water pressure dissipation test and consolidation test, and disagreements between theoretical time factor and real time factor. To identify proportional factor of proposed equation, Geotechnical investigation results of Kwang-Yang(KY) site and Busan New Port(BN) site were used. The proportional factor was 0.0031 from 20 to 50% of consolidation rate where correlation parameter($R^2$) is 0.9051.
