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.

The system-integrated modular advanced reactor 100 (SMART100), an integral-type pressurized water small modular reactor, is based on a novel design concept for containment cooling and radioactive material reduction; it is known as the containment pressure and radioactivity suppression system (CPRSS). There is a passive cooling system using a condensation with non-condensable gas in the SMART CPRSS. When a design basis accident such as a small break loss of coolant accident (SBLOCA) occurs, the pressurized low containment area (LCA) of the SMART CPRSS leads to steam condensation in an incontainment refuelling water storage tank (IRWST). Additionally, the steam and non-condensable gas mixture passes through the CPRSS heat exchanger (CHX) submerged in the emergency cooldown tank (ECT) that can partially remove the residual heat. When the steam and non-condensable gas mixture passes through the CHX, the non-condensable gas can interrupt the condensation heat transfer in the CHX and it degrades CHX performance. In this study, condensation heat transfer experiments of steam and non-condensable gas mixture in the natural circulation loop were conducted. The pressure, temperature, and effects of the non-condensable gas were investigated according to the constant inlet steam flow rate with non-condensable gas injections in the loop.

도시화로 인한 불투수층의 증가는 강우시 유출량 증가, 침투량 감소, 증발산량 감소 등을 유발시키고, 다량의 비점오염물질을 유출시킨다. 이러한 도시화에 의한 환경영향을 최소화하기 위하여 환경부는 2012년 이후 그린빗물인프라(Green Stormwater Infrastructure, GSI)기법을 정책적으로 도입하여 자연적 물순환을 구축하고 비점오염 유출저감을 저감하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 자연적 물순환 구축을 통한 비점오염저감을 위하여 다양한 강우사상에 적용 가능한 침투여과기술을 개발하고자 한다. 기술의 실제 적용성 평가에 앞서 연구실 규모의 기술평가를 실시하였으며, 8회의 유량변화를 통한 평가를 수행하였다. 연구실 실험결과, 시설의 침투수, 저류수 및 유출수의 오염물질별 평균 EMC의 저감효율은 모든 오염물질 항목에서 50~90%의 범위로 높게 나타났는데 이는 높은 침투유량(약 35%)과 저류량(39%)에 의한 유출저감에 의해 나타났다. 침투여과시설의 지속적 효율은 막힘현상의 최소화로 나타나는데 본 기술의 공극 막힘현상은 누적 TSS 양이 $8.3{\sim}9.0kg/m^2$의 범위에 도달할 때 발생하였으며, 이 값은 타 연구결과에 비해 큰 값으로 나타나 장기간 높은 효율을 유지할 수 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 초기침강지를 설치하지 않은 상태에서도 시설로부터 유출되는 시료내 평균 입경크기는 $10{\mu}m$로 나타났기에 침강지를 설치할 경우 입자제거에 효과적일 것으로 판단된다.

The importance of determining the radon exhalation rate from water surface is emphasized by the increased use of radon and its daughter products as tracers in large-scale circulation studies of the atmosphere. There were many methods to measure radon exhalation from water surface. With the development of radon exhalation rate measurement methods and instruments on the surface of the soil, the rock and building materials, so the radon exhalation rate from water surface can be more accurately measured by applying these improved methods and instruments. In this paper, a cuboid accumulation chamber surrounded by foam boards and a RAD7 were used to measure the radon exhalation rate on the water surface at three different positions by Yixin lake. Each measurement was performed 2 h. The radon exhalation rate from the water surface was about 6 × 10^-3 Bq m^-2s^-1. The thoron exhalation rate from the water surface also can be estimated, it is about 0.16 Bq m^-2s^-1. These results hint that the radon transmission from the lake bottom soil to water and then into the atmosphere.

This study proposed a simple estimation method for irrigation return flow from paddy fields using the water balance model. The merit of this method is applicability to other paddy fields irrigated from agricultural reservoirs due to the simplicity compared with the previous monitoring based estimation method. It was assumed that the unused amount of irrigation water was the return flow which included the quick and delayed return flows. The amount of irrigation supply from a reservoir was estimated from the reservoir water balance with the storage rate and runoff model. It was also assumed that the infiltration was the main source of the delayed return flow and that the other delayed return flow was neglected. In this study, the amount of reservoir inflow and water demand from paddy field are calculated on a daily basis, and irrigation supply was calculated on 10-day basis, taking into account the uncertainty of the model and the reliability of the data. The regression rate was calculated on a yearly basis, and yearly data was computed by accumulating daily and 10-day data, considering that the recirculating water circulation cycle was relatively long. The proposed method was applied to the paddy blocks of the Jamhong and Seosan agricultural reservoirs and the results were acceptable.

The Samcheonpo ocean small hydropower plant (SHP) has a special feature of using marginal hydraulic head of circulating water system of fossil fuel power plant as a power source and having the characteristics of general hydropower generation and tidal power generation as well. Also, it contributes to reducing green house gases and developing clean energy source by recycling circulating water energy otherwise dissipated into the ocean. The efficiency of small hydropower plant is directly affected by effective head and flow rate of discharged water. Therefore, the efficiency characteristics of ocean hydropower plant are analyzed with the variation of water level and flow rate of discharged water, which is based on the accumulated operation data of the Samcheonpo hydropower plant. After the start of small hydropower plant operation, definite rise of water level was observed. As a result of flow pattern change from free flow to submerged flow, the instability of water surface in overall open channel is increased but it doesn't reach the extent of overflowing channel or having an effect on circulation system. Performance evaluation result shows that the generating power and efficiency of small hydropower exceeds design requirements in all conditions. Analysis results of CWP's water flow rate verify that the amount of flowing water is measured less and the highest efficiency of small hydropower plant is achieved when the effective head has its maximum value. In conclusion, efficiency curve derived from water flow rate considering tidal level shows the best fitting result with design criteria curve and it is verified that overall efficiency of hydropower system is satisfactory.

저영향개발(LID) 기법은 물순환을 고려한 친환경 도시계획기법으로 개발 이전의 물수지를 회복시키려는 빗물관리 방법이다. 본 연구에서는 도시지역에 적용 가능한 LID 기법 중 4개(침투도랑, 식생수로, 도심형 인공습지, 측구형 침투도랑)를 선정하여 실제 적용될 지역에 시범 단지를 조성하였으며, 실제 강우와 인공강우를 이용한 모니터링을 통해 각 시설의 물순환 및 수질개선 효과를 평가하였다. 다양한 강우사상에서 모니터링한 결과 LID 시설의 표면적과 유역면적비, 그리고 시설용량과 유역면적비가 클수록 모든 강우사상에서 유출이 발생하지 않았다. 또한, 식생수로와 침투도랑은 모든 강우(최대 17.2mm)에서 유출이 발생하지 않았으며, 도심형 인공습지와 측구형 침투도랑에서는 유출이 발생하였는데 도심형 인공습지는 10mm 이하의 강우에서 유출 저감율이 높았으며, 측구형 침투도랑은 10mm 이하 및 이상의 강우에서 유사하게 나타났다. LID 시설의 구조와 강우사상, 선행건기일수에 따라 차이가 있으나 LID의 적용으로 물수지 개선 및 비점오염원 물질의 저감이 가능하다.
