High temperature and pressure materials in power plant are degraded by creep damage, if they are exposed to constant loads for long times, which occurs in the load bearing structures of pressurized components operating at elevated temperatures. Many conventional measurement techniques such as replica method, electric resistance method, and hardness test method for measuring creep damage have been used. So far, the replica method is mainly used for the Inspection of High temperature and pressure components. This technique is, however, restricted to applications at the surface of the testpieces and cannot be used to material inside. In this paper, ultrasonic evaluation for the detection of creep damage in the form of cavaties on grain boundaries or integranular microcracks are carried out. And the absolute measuring method of quantitative ultrasonic velocity technique for Cr-Mo material degradation is analyzed. As a result of ultrasonic tests for crept specimens, we find that the sound velocity is decreased as the increase of creep life fraction$({\Phi}_c)$ and also, confirmed that hardness is decreased as the increase of creep life fraction$({\Phi}_c)$ but the coefficient of ultrasonic attenuation is increased as the increase of creep life fraction$({\Phi}_c)$. Finally based on the result in this paper, it can be recognized that the ultrasonic techniques using velocities and attenuation coefficient factor are very useful non-destructive methods to evaluate the degree of material degradation in fossile power plants.

This study on the bolt elongation and torque measuring method by ultrasonic nod-destructive method. In the past, The dial gage was used for the elongation measurement of gas turbine bolts. The purpose of this study is to improve the traditional bolt elongation measurement method. The old method using dial gage measures the elongation of the gas turbine bolt. If the length differences among the loading bolts are within the required range, The loading torques of bolts consider as acceptable. But this method can not give the information about torque differences among the loading bolts. It could bring out vibration of turbine due to loading torque differences among the bolts. So the elongation and torque must be measured simultaneously. The new technology using ultrasonic non-destructive method can give the information about bolt elongation and torque. The ultrasonic method basically measures the speed in the bolt material for the calculation the bolt elongation. But the ultrasonic speed varies according to temperature and loading torque of bolts. So the factors of temperature and loading power were investigated and reflected to the calculation of bolt elongation and torque. The results of this study shows the big difference among the bolts torque in the old method and the torque differences among the bolts can be adjusted by reflecting the result of this study. And this torque adjusting method can decrease gas turbine vibration problem due to torque difference among the bolts. So this paper shows ultrasonic method is better than old method for the measurement of bolt elongation and torque.

본 연구는 초음파 측정법을 사용하여 부분방전에 의한 에폭시 몰드형 전력변압기의 열화상태을 진단하기 위해 에폭시수지의 트리진전에 초음파신호를 분석하였으며, 또한 열화시간에 따른 트리길이, 방전전하량 및 초음파 펄스수의 특성을 조사하였다. 실험 결과, 애폭시수지에 발생된 트리는 수지령이면, 인가전압 16[kV]에 대한 트리 길이 및 트리 폭의 평균성 장률은 각각 0.014 및 0.026[mm/min] 이였으며, 20[kV]의 경우 이들 값은 각각 0.032 및 0.063[mm/min]으로 더욱 증가된 것으로 나타났다. 열화중기 이후 트리가 성장함에 따라 초음파 펄스수 및 부분방전 전하량은 급격히 증가된 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 초음파 펄스수는 방전전하량에 비례하여 증가되었다. 또한 몰드형 전력변압기의 초음파 측정시 기본 데이터를 얻기 위해 초음파 발진 및 수신장치를 사용하여 에폭시수지에 대한 초음파신호의 감쇄, 시간지연 및 지향특성도 조사하였다.

전력계통의 고 신뢰도 운전을 위하여 전력용 변압기의 예방진단기법은 매우 중요하다. 그리고, 특히, 경제적 관점에서 운전중인 변압기의 예방진단이 요구된다. 이와 관련하여 외국에서는 부분방전 음향위치 측정법에 대한 연구가 1960년대에 본격적으로 시작되어 관련이론에 대한 연구가 계속되었고 국내에서는 변압기내의 부분방전 위치측정법으로 부분방전시 발생되는 전기신호와 초음파신호를 검출하여 부분방전의 위치를 결정하는 전기-초음파 측정법과 발생되는 초음파신호를 두 개의 초음파 센서로 측정하여 부분방전의 위치를 결정하는 초음파-초음파 측정법이 연구되었다. 또 이 초음파-초음파 측정법에 의하여 1차원과 2차원 및 3차원에서 부분방전 위치를 도식적으로 결정하는 방법이 제시되었다. 앞에서 제시한 방법들은 부분방전의 위치를 추정할 때 부분방전 신호원이 한 개라고 가정하였다. 그러나 실제적으로 부분방전 신호원의 수가 다수일 수 있으므로 본 논문에서는 초음파-초음파 측정법을 이용하여 다수 신호원의 위치를 측정하는 방법을 제시하고자 한다.

An ultrasonic assisting vacuum membrane distillation (VMD) system was designed to promote the heat and mass transfer in membrane distillation (MD) process. Both the effects of operating conditions and ultrasonic parameters to permeation flux in this process were investigated; the heat and mass transfer mechanism was also being discussed in this paper. The results showed that the performance of VMD process was improved significantly by ultrasonic assisting. The permeation flux was boosted at a certain feed solution temperature, pressure at permeate side and feed solution velocity whether or not to PP and PTFE. The results also indicated that ultrasonic power and frequency also was the key factor affecting the mass and transfer efficiencies. The feed side transfer coefficient ($K_f$), corresponding to ultrasonic power ($K_f=4.406-0.026{\times}P+7.824{\times}10^{-5}{\times}P^2$) and ultrasonic frequency ($K_f=0.941+0.598{\times}f-0.012{\times}f^2+6.283{\times}10^{-5}f^3$), was obtained and employed in the modeling of ultrasonic assisting VMD process. The modeling results showed that the calculated value of $K_f$ aligned with experimental results well. Both variations of temperature polarization coefficient (TPC) and concentration polarization coefficient (CPC) were studied based on the obtained data. The results showed that both TPC and CPC were improved obviously by the ultrasonic parameters.

The purpose of this study is to propose the basic data for the development of a sensor capable of simultaneously measuring the liquid-level, concentration and temperature of a urea tank using ultrasonic and electrical conductivity sensors for diesel vehicles with a urea-SCR system. It was found that the liquid-level of the urea tank using the ultrasonic sensor showed a good linearity with the actual liquid-level, and the urea concentration maintained good linearity in the range of 32.5 wt% to 10 wt%. It was an effective measurement of urea concentration to use the electrical conductivity sensor in the temperature range of $-10{\sim}22^{\circ}C$ and to use the ultrasonic sensor at $22^{\circ}C$ or more. Simultaneous measurement of concentration, liquid-level and temperature of the urea tank will be possible by attaching the electrical conductivity sensor and the ultrasonic sensor (split-type) to one sensor together.

A fundamental study was conducted to obtain the basic data involved in nondestructive quality evaluation of the fruit and vegetables. An experimental equipment for ultrasonic propagation characteristics of the fruit and vegetables such as radish , carrot , potato, and apple was set up and also power spectrum analysis system of an ultrasonic wave through the fruit and vegetables was set up. The velocity and attenuation of ultrasonic wave through the tissue specimens from the fruit and vegetables were measured and analyzed. The elastic modulus and density by the mechanical method currently used were compared with those using by ultrasonic method. The ultrasonic tranit time was almost linearly increased with the length of the specimens and attenuation of ultrasonic was mainly affected by the internal flbrous structure of the products. The regression equation was derived from the highly correlated experimental variables.

In order to establish the usefulness of ultrasonic techniques for detecting corona discharges in high-voltage power apparatus, it is first necessary to determine the relationship between electrical and ultrasonic signals of corona discharges in air. In this paper, various characteristics of ultrasonic signal detection for point-to-plane corona discharges using a 200[kHz] ultrasonic sensor are examined. In regard to the attenuation and directivity of ultrasonic signals, the signals were inversely proportional to the distance between corona sources and ultrasonic receiving sensors, and half attenuation angles were approximately 7.0 degree. Ultrasonic signals of positive polarities were first obserbed at corona inception voltages. and the signals were increased with increasing the applied voltages.
