Over about 30% of problems in construction is related to water-leaking, and the loss from this problem can incur as much as three times the cost of initial construction. Thus, water vapor pressure is known to be the primary cause of defective waterproofing. Accordingly, the theories on the relationship between water pressure and temperature as well as damp-proofing volume of concrete and the change in vapor pressure volume were reviewed and analyzed in this study by making test samples after spraying a dampness remover and applying waterproofing materials to the prepared test specimens. The result of measuring water vapor pressure with the surface temperature of the waterproofing (fluid-applied membrane) layer at the experimental temperature setting of about $10^{\circ}C$, which is the annual average temperature of Seoul, indicated that (1) the temperature of the fluid-applied membrane elevated to about $40^{\circ}C$, and the water vapor pressure generated from the fluid-applied membrane was about 0.03 N/mm 2 when the surface temperature of the waterproofing layer was raised to about $80^{\circ}C$. (2) when the temperature of the fluid-applied membrane of the waterproofing layer was raised from $30^{\circ}C$ to $35^{\circ}C$, water vapor pressure of about 0.01 N/mm 2 was generated, and (3) when a thermal source was applied to the fluid-applied membrane (waterproofing) layer, the temperature increased from $35^{\circ}C$ to $40^{\circ}C$, and approximately $0.005\;N/mm^2$ of water vapor pressure was generated.

농산촌 지역 단일 집수역인 전남 구례군 간전면 중대리계곡과 경남 하동 악양면에서 각각 6지점과 14지점의 기상관측자료를 수집하여 복잡지형에서의 수증기압 및 상대습도 분포를 분석하였다. 중대리계곡에서는 2014년 12월 19일부터 2015년 11월 23일까지, 악양계곡에서는 2012년 8월 15일부터 2013년 8월 18일까지 가장 고밀도로 측정한 시기의 매시 기온과 습도(지면 위 1.5m)를 이용, 농업기상재해 조기경보시스템에서 사용되고 있는 기존의 수증기압 추정방식과 실제 수증기압을 비교하였다. 관측한 수증기압의 해발고도에 따른 기울기는 시간대(0300, 0600, … 2400 LST)에 따라 변동되었고, 야간일수록 위 아래의 수증기압차가 증대되었다. 지형·지표 조건이 다양한 악양계곡 관측 지점에서는 해발고도 외의 요인으로 인한 수증기압 변이가 지점별로 시간대에 따라 다르게 나타났다. 실제에 더 가까운 수증기압 및 상대습도 추정을 위해, 연구 대상지역의 관측자료로 해발고도 편차 당 수증기압 변화를 조정하는 계수를 도출하였다. 상대습도는 포화수증기압 대비 추정된 수증기압으로 모의하였으며, 조기경보시스템에서 사용된 기존 방법보다 도출된 계수를 활용한 추정방식에서 오차가 더 개선되었음을 확인하였다.

Of the total defects that have occurred recently in the Korean construction market, over 30% are caused by the construction of defective waterproofing, and the phenomenon of air pockets in the waterproofing layer, which is caused by the concrete vapor pressure, is known to be the primary cause of defective waterproofing. Accordingly, in this study the theory about the relationship between water pressure and temperature as well as the damp-proofing volume of concrete and, then, the change of vapor pressure volume was measured and analyzed by making a test sample after spraying a dampness remover and a waterproofing material to a prepared test body. As a result of measuring the water vapor pressure for the surface temperature of the waterproofing layer with the fluid-applied membrane temperature based on about $10^{\circ}C$, which is the average temperature of Seoul, it was found that first, the fluid-applied membrane elevated up to about $40^{\circ}C$, and the water vapor pressure generated from the fluid-applied membrane was about $0.3kgf/cm^2$ when the surface temperature of the waterproofing layer was raised up to about $80^{\circ}C$. Second, when the fluid-applied membrane temperature of the waterproofing layer was raised from $30^{\circ}C\;to\;35^{\circ}C,\;about\;0.1kgf/cm^2$ of water vapor pressure was generated, and when supplying a thermal source to raise the fluid-applied membrane temperature of the waterproofing layer from $35^{\circ}C\;to\;40^{\circ}C$, approximately $0.05kgf/cm^2$ of water vapor pressure was generated.

Vapor explosion is one of the most important problems encountered in severe accident management of nuclear power plants. In spite of many efforts, a lot of questions still remain for the fundamental understanding of vapor explosion phenomena. Therefore, KAERI launched a real material experiment called TROI using 20 kg of UO2 and ZrO2 to investigate the vapor explosion phenomena. In addition, a small-scale experiment with molten-tin/water system was performed to quantify the characteristics of vapor explosion and to understand the phenomenology of vapor explosion. A number of instruments were used to measure the physical change occurring during the vapor explosion. In this experiment, the vapor explosion generated by molten fuel water interaction is visualized using high speed camera and the pressure behavior accompanying the explosion is investigated.

In this study, water vapor pressure of high strength concrete reinforced with amorphous steel fiber(AF) was evaluated. Experimental results show that spalling occurs when the incorporation rate of amorphous steel fiber is 0.5 vol.% or more. This is because the ratio of AF increased per unit area influenced the formation of the water vapor pressure discharge passage by the polypropylene fiber(PPF) melting. Therefore, it is necessary to find the proper mixing ratio of AF and PPF to prevent spalling.

In this study, water vapor pressure and restrained stress were evaluated by ring-type restrained condition for compressive strength 60 and 80MPa concrete. Experimental results show that the 80MPa concrete has higher water vapor pressure and restraint stress than the 60MPa concrete, resulting in spalling occurrence. It is because, the higher the compressive strength of the concrete, the more dense the internal structure is formed.

A model for a pressure drop of water vapor flow across tube banks in a horizontal tube absorber of an absorption chiller/heater using LiBr solution as a working fluid has been developed based on a commercial 20RT(70kW) absorption chiller/heater. The numerical results show that the characteristic of the pressure drop in the shell side of the horizontal tube absorber is completely different from that in a conventional shell and tube heat exchanger. Especially, solution film thickness has significant influence on the vapor pressure drop in the horizontal tube absorber. In addition, the effects by the tube diameters, the longitudinal pitch to diameter ratio, and Reynolds number of the vapor flow, on the vapor pressure drop have been studied to evaluate the compactness of tube absorber. It was found that the vapor pressure drop decreases as tube diameter increases, the longitudinal pitch to diameter ratio increases, and Reynolds number of the vapor flow decreases. A comparison of the present study results with well-established experimental and numerical results showed a good overall agreement.

In this study, the performance of five ejectors has been investigated with working fluids of water and water vapor. The diameters of nozzle and mixing tube of five ejectors were 1 and 1.5(ejector A), 1 and 2(ejector B), 1 and 2.5(ejector C), 1 and 3(ejector D), 2 and 4(ejector E) in millimeters. The length of the mixing tube was 8-10 times of its diameter. For each ejector, the ratio of mass flow rate of ejected water to that of entrained water vapor, $\mu$, was evaluated in terms of evaporator pressure, mass flow rate of ejected water, and water temperature. It was found that the performance of an ejector was not stable when the ratio of diameters was too small or too large(ejector A and D) and $\mu$ was almost the same for two ejectors with the same diameter ratio(ejector B and E). It was also found that $\mu$ increased almost linearly with an increase of evaporator pressure and the ratio $\mu$ increased as water temperature decreased. As expected, $\mu$ converged to zero as the water temperature approached the evaporator temperature. Finally, a non-dimensional correlation has been developed to predict$\mu$ terms of evaporator pressure and saturation pressure of ejected water.
