The measurements of velocities of internal flow in a scaled-up nozzle were made by laser Doppler velocimetry in order to clarify the effect of internal flow on the characteristics of fuel spray. The investigated length to diameter ratio(L/d) of the orifice were 1, 3, 4, 5 and 8, and inlet radius to diameter ratio(r0/d) were 0 and 0.5. Mean and fluctuating velocities and discharge coefficients were obtained at various Reynolds number ranging between 15,000 and 28,000, and L/d ranging between 1 and 8 in sharp and round inlet nozzle. The turbulent intensity and turbulent kinetic energy at exit in a sharp inlet nozzle were higher than that in a round inlet nozzle. For sharp inlet nozzle, fluctuating velocities near exit were decreased with increasing L/d.

PD(Partial discharges) are small electrical sparks that occur within the electric insulation of cables, transformers and windings on motors. PD analysis is a proactive diagnostic approach that uses PD measurements to evaluate the integrity of this equipment. Recently, several diagnostic algorithms for classifying the type of PD and locating the defect position have been developed. In this work, a new PD recognition system is proposed, which utilizes approximate coefficients of wavelet transform as a feature vector, furthermore, introduces bank of Elman networks to recognize the various PD phenomena. In order to verify the performance of the proposed scheme, it is applied to the simulated PD data.

A field monitoring was conducted in order to find out the discharge characteristics of non-point source pollutants in the agricultural area. Event Mean Concentration (EMC) of TSS, $BOD_5$, $COD_{Mn}$, TP, TN was calculated based on the monitoring data of 10 rainfall events at agricultural watersheds. A significant relationship was observed from the correlation between EMCs and rainfall characteristics. The result shows that EMC ranges of 95% confidence intervals were 50.5~203 mg/L for TSS, 0.8~14.2 mg/L for $BOD_5$, 4.2~20.7 mg/L for $COD_{Mn}$, 2.4~4.5 mg/L for TN and 0.2~0.5 mg/L for TP, respectively. The correlation coefficients between TSS and TP and between $BOD_5$ and $COD_{Mn}$ were found to be 0.912 and 0.961. But TN was lower correlated with other EMC factors. It was also found that rainfall characteristics was not correlated with EMCs.

The fluorescent lamp has been successfully modeled by employing the radial variation of particle density and considering driving circuit effects on the characteristics of discharge process. The electron energy distribution is assumed to have a Maxwellian. The electron mobility and the ambipolar diffusion coefficients are considered to vary with an electron energy rather than a simple uniform value. Energy states of mercury atom in the discharge process are regarded as six levels rather than simple 4 or 5 levels. These discharge processes have been accurately solved by numerically employing mixed the FDM and the 2nd Runge-Kutta method. This model was applied to analyzing real circuit. Simulation and experimental results were presented to verify the feasibility of the modeling. Simulation and experimental results were presented to verify the feasibility of the modeling.

A cavitation venturi is a device that allows a liquid flow rate to be fixed or locked independent of a downstream pressure and has been successfully used in a liquid rocket engine system which requires a stable propellant flow rate. In the present research, four cavitation venturis which have same dimensions except for converging inlet angle and diverging outlet angle, were designed and manufactured. Flow rates through each venturi and upstream/downstream pressures were measured by changing the pressures. From the experimental data, the discharge coefficients and critical pressure ratios were calculated for each venturi. It was found that the inlet and outlet angles of the cavitation venturi affected the discharge coefficient, and the outlet angle influenced on the critical pressure ratio.

In view of the fact that gas insulated switchgear (GIS) is an important piece of equipment in a substation, it is highly desirable to continuously monitor the state of equipment by measuring the partial discharge (PD) activity in a GIS, as PD is a symptom of an insulation weakness/breakdown. However, since the PD signal is relatively weak and the external noise makes detection of the PD signal difficult, it therefore requires careful attention in its detection. In this paper, the algorithm for detection of PD in the GIS using the wavelet transform (WT) is proposed. The WT provides a direct quantitative measure of the spectral content and dynamic spectrum in the time-frequency domain. The most appropriate mother wavelet for this application is the Daubechies 4 (db4) wavelet. 'db4', the most commonly applied mother wavelet in the power quality analysis, is very well suited to detecting high frequency signals of very short duration, such as those associated with the PD phenomenon. The proposed algorithm is based on utilizing the absolute sum value of coefficients, which are a combination of D1 (Detail 1) and D2 (Detail 2) in multiresolution signal decomposition (MSD) based on WT after noise elimination and normalization.

This study addresses the contamination sensitivity test of a typical fuel pump for an automotive vehicle. The objective of the study is to find the contamination sensitivity coefficient of a fuel pump on specific contaminant particle sizes so that an optimal fuel filter could be selected. To achieve the objective, the degradation of discharge flow rate of the fuel pump is measured under the experiments of various contaminants size ranges of ISO test dust up to $80\;{\mu}m$. The fundamental theory of contamination sensitivity is introduced and the contamination sensitivity coefficients are estimated using the experimental data. Maximum contamination sensitivity coefficient of $5\chi\;10^{-6}\;L/min{\cdot}Ea$ is found in the contaminant size range of $40\;{\mu}m\~50\;{\mu}m$. The magnified picture of the surface of vane disc reveals that the abrasive wear is the principal cause of discharge flow rate degradation. Hence, this study reveals that a high efficiency filter for contaminant particles especially in the size range of $30\;{\mu}m\~70\;{\mu}m$ especially should be used to maintain the service life of the fuel filter.

Flow duration curves provide a compact summary of streamflow variability. In this study, characteristics of the dimensionless flow duration curve in natural rivers with the unregulated discharge were investigated. An analysis of flow duration characteristics was conducted with discharge data at stage-gauging stations of IHP representative basins and of the major rivers in Korea. Discharge characteristics are dependent on area of watershed. However, flow duration coefficients except drought duration coefficient are independent on that. Abundant flow duration coefficient was constant value. The coefficient of flow duration variability defined in this study as the ratio of the normal stream flow over the drought one is decreased with increasing of the watershed area, which implies that the watershed area affects the drought flow duration variability more than the low flow one. And the coefficient of flow duration variability is increased with the river gradient.

To achieve the objective, the degradation of discharge flow rate of fuel pump was measured under the experiments of various contaminants size ranges of ISO test dust up to 80${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. The fundamental theory of contamination sensitivity was introduced and the contamination sensitivity coefficients were estimated using the experimental data. Maximum contamination sensitivity coefficient of $5{\times}10^{-6}$ L/minㆍEa was found on the contaminant size range of 40${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$∼50${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. The magnified picture of the surface of vane disc revealed that the abrasive wear was the principal cause of discharge flow rate degradation. Hence, this study revealed that high efficiency filter on the contaminant particle size range of 30${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$∼70${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ especially should be used to maintain the service lift of the fuel filter.

The primary objective of this study was to analyze the delivery ratio using Hydrological Simulation Program - Fortran (HSPF) in Okdong-cheon watershed. Model parameters related to hydrology and water quality were calibrated and validated by comparing model predictions with the 8-day interval filed data collected for ten years from the Korea Ministry of Environment. The results indicated that hydrology and water quality parameters appeared to be reasonably comparable to the field data. The pollutant delivery loads of the watershed in 2015 were simulated using the HSPF model. The delivery ratios of each subwatershed were also estimated by the simple ratio calculation of pollutant discharge load and pollutant delivery load. Coefficients of the regression equation between the delivery ratio and specific discharge were also computed using the delivery ratio. Based on the results, multiple regression analysis was performed using the discharge and the physical characteristics of the subwatershed such as the area. The equation of delivery ratio derived in this study is only for the Okdong-cheon watershed, so the larger studies are needed to apply the findings to other watersheds.
