  • In HANARO, a multi-purpose research reactor of 30 MWth, the emergency water supply system consists essentially of an emergency water storage tank located in the level of about thirteen meter (13 m) above the reactor core, a three inch ('3\%') diameter water injection pipe line including injection valves from the tank to the reactor cooling inlet pipe and a test loop to do periodic system performance test. When the water level of the reactor pool comes down to the extremely low due to a loss of reactor pool water accident the emergency water stored in the tank should be fed to the core by the gravity force and at that time the design flow rate is eleven point four kilogram per second (11.4 kg/s). But it is impossible periodically to measure the injection flow rate under the emergency condition because the normal water level should be maintained during the reactor operation. This paper describes a flow network analysis to simulate the flow rate under the emergency condition. As results, it was confirmed through the analysis results that the calculated flow rate agrees with the design requirement under the emergency condition.

  • The study on the plan for rehabilitation project of domestic water distribution system - especially using Heuristic Algorithm as Genetic Algorithm which is expected to provide a more optimal solution effectively - has not been done sufficiently. The purpose of this study is the development of the optimal decision making system for the rehabilitation of the water distribution system considering economic and hydraulic influences using ReHS which is recent study of OR technique. Five different models with different objective functions are developed and tested to virtual pipe network according to various conditions considered in this study. These models provide more options for the rehabilitation of pipe network systems compared to previously suggested models in the literature.

  • Flow carrying capacity of water distribution systems is getting reduced by deterioration of pipes in the systems. The objective of this paper is to present a managerial decision-making model for the rehabilitation of water distribution systems with a mininum cost. The decisions made by the model also satisfy the requirements for discharge and pressure at demanding nodes in the systems. Replacement cost, pipe break repair cost, and pumping cost are considered in the economic evaluation of the decision along with the break rate and the interest rate to determine the optimal replacement time for each pipe. Then, the hydraulic integrity of the water distribution system is checked for the decision by a pipe network simulator, KYPIPE, if discharge and pressure requirements are satisfied. In case the system does not satisfy the hydraulic requirements, the decision made for the optimal replacement time is revised until the requirments are satisfied. The model is well applied to an existing water distribution system, the Seoul Metropolitan Water Supply System (1st Phase). The results show that the decisions for the replacement time determined by the economic analysis are accepted as optimal and hydraulic integrity of the system is in good condition.

  • The purpose of this study is to estimate deterioration assessment for weighting factors in pipe network for which each local selfgovernment takes rehabilitation and replacement work at present time. Deterioic hierarchy process(AHP), calculates the weighting factors. The appropriate marks matrix of sixteen deterioration factors are made for the precise decision standard of pipe condition through the result of this analysis. The marks matrix of sixteen deterioration factors can solve the complicated decision making problems of pipe rehabilitation workration factors in the pipe network might be influenced by local factors, such as province, location, or land use, in water supply systems. In this study, the sixteen deterioration factors are determined suitable for domestic situation based on the pipe deterioration factor data inside and outside of the country. Also, we select persons in charge of calculating the detail weighting factors and do survey about important level of each deterioration factors. Delphi method, a question survey method applying the analyts.

  • Concerns related to protecting, identifying, and isolating of subsystems of a water distribution network have led to the realization of the increased importance of valves in the system. The most important purpose of valves in water distribution systems is to isolate subsystems due to breakage, maintenance activities, or contamination. A subsystem called segment is isolated by the closure of adjacent valves and an efficient algorithm should identify the adjacent valves to minimize the pipe failure impact. In this paper, an algorithm to identify adjacent valves to be closed to isolate a subsystem from the remainder of a network in case of a pipe failure is presented. An application to the water distribution system in Ottawa, Canada demonstrates the developed algorithm efficiently locates the adjacent valves for the isolation of a broken pipe.

  • In this paper, the basic design study of a water-cooling jacket, which have reported no cases for applying to railway traction motors so far, were conducted for applying to Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (IPMSM) for railway vehicles. The basic thermal characteristics analysis of the 110kW-class IPMSM was performed by using 3-dimentional thermal equivalent network method. The necessary design requirements of the water-cooling jacket were derived by analyzing the results of the basic thermal properties. Next, the thermal characteristics analysis technique was established by using the equivalent model of the solenoid-typed pipe to be installed on the inside of the water-cooling jacket for 110kW-class IPMSM. Finally, a design model of 6kW-class water-cooling jacket was derived through the analysis of various design parameters.

  • Due to the importance of energy-saving and CO2 reduction is being emphasized in the world, efforts to find a solution for the problems is increasing rapidly. In particular, the renewable energy is on understanding as a breakthrough for the protection of the environment and the economic development, so it is intensively fostered as future industries. Developed countries are already pursuing policy and technology development related with renewable energy. In this paper, we will develop MHD(Magneto Hydro Dynamics) technology to supply the commercial power that can is targeted at water pipe related with hydro power among renewable energy technologies. Kinetic energy of fluid flowing in the water pipe is converted into electric power. It allows stable power supply to the various sensors and devices on water pipe. We have performed several experiments to verify the application possibility of the developed technologies and present the result and a method of performance improvement of the technologies.

  • In this study, EPANET model which is using on the pipe network analysis was applied to Haenam irrigation district has provided irrigation water by pipeline system about 1,125ha and then have built pipe network to study area and supply performance evaluation of existing structure was analyzed by SPA (Single Period Analysis) in EPANET. As model results of simulation average ratio of maximum supply quantity/irrigation water requirements(base demand) was analyzed by 2.63. It means also that was analyzed as being capable of ensuring the water supply capacity. It was provided the necessary information for the maintenance facility through analyzed hydraulic behaviors in the pipeline inside such as flow velocities, pressures and hydraulic grade lines. It was satisfied with the allowable design criteria that was compared analyzed results with presented allowable design standards at agricultural production infra improvement project planning and design (Pipeline design standard). In order to analyze efficiency promotions of irrigation water, using Extended Period Simulation it was compared supply quantity with irrigation water requirements while pumps set operating pattern in 24 hours, then efficiency promotions of irrigation water was determined through analyzed oversupply water quantity and occurrence time by branch lines. According to results for oversupply quantity in Haenam district by time and end of branch lines efficiency promotions of irrigation water was suggested from 0.33 % to 37.59 %. To draw reasonable operating rules for water use and through this research, it is expected to be helpful for efficient water use and operational management of agricultural pipeline system to the current agricultural irrigation.
