Let F be a life distribution with finite mean $\mu$ Then F is said to be in new better then worse than used in expectation (NBWUE(p)) class if $\varphi(u) {\geq} u$ for $0 {\leq}u{\leq}t_0$ and ${\varphi}(u) {\leq} u$ for $t_0< u {\leq} 1$ where ${\varphi}(u)$ is the scaled total-time-on-test transform and $p=F(t_0)$. We propose a testing procedure for $H_0$ : F is exponential against $H_1$ : NBWUE(p), and is not expontial, (or $H_1\;'$ : F is NWBUE (p), and is not exponential) using randomly censored data. Our procedure assumes kmowledge of the proportion p of the population that fail at or before the change-point $\t_0$. Know ledge of $\t_0$ itself is not assumed. The asymptotic normality of the test statistic is established and a Monte Carlo experiment is performed to investigate the speed of convergence of the test statistic to normality. The power of our test is also studied.

Desalination is a key technology to overcome water shortage problem in a near future. High energy consumption is an Achilles' heel in desalination technology. Osmotically driven membrane processes like forward osmosis(FO) was introduced to address this energy issue. Characterizing membrane properties such as water permeability(A), salt permeability(B), and the resistance to salt diffusion within the support layer($K_{ICP}$) are very important to predict the performance of scaled-up FO processes. Currently, most of researches reported that the water permeability of FO membrane was measured by reverse osmosis(RO) type test. Permeating direction of RO and FO are different and RO test needs hydraulic pressure so that several problems can be occurred(i.e. membrane deformation, compaction and effect of concentration polarization). This study focuses on measuring water permeability of FO membrane by FO type test results in various experimental conditions. A statistical approach was developed to evaluate the three FO membrane properties(A, B, and $K_{ICP}$) and it predicted test result by the internal and external concentration polarization model.

Bonded tendons have been used in reactor buildings at some operating nuclear power plants in Korea. Assessing prestress force on these bonded tendons has become an important pending problem in efforts to assure continued operation beyond their design life. The System Identification (SI) technique was thus developed to improve upon the existing indirect assessment technique for bonded tendons. As a first step, this study analyzed the sensitivity of the key parameters to prestress force, and then determined the optimal parameters for the SI technique. A total of six scaled post-tensioned concrete beams with bonded tendons were manufactured. In order to investigate the correlation of the natural frequency and the displacement to prestress force, an impact test, a Single Input Multiple Output (SIMO) sine sweep test, and a bending test using an optical fiber sensor and compact displacement transducer were carried out. These tests found that both the natural frequency and the displacement show a good correlation with prestress force and that both parameters are available for the SI technique to predict prestress force. However, displacements by the optical fiber sensor and compact displacement transducer were shown to be more sensitive than the natural frequency to prestress force. Such displacements are more useful than the natural frequency as an input parameter for the SI technique.

A model test is carried out to investigate flow-induced vibration of a Tainter gate in estuary sulices. The gate model scaled with the ratio of 1：25 is made of acryl panel dimensioned 0.66m in width, 0.5m in height in the concrete test flume. Firstly, natural frequencies of the model gate are measured and the results are compared with the numerical results in order to verify the model. The amplitudes of the vibration are measured under the different gate opening and water level conditions in flow from the gate outside to the gate inside. Also 5 revised gate models with bottom width increased 0.5 cm each are tested under the different gate opening and water level. The results are analyzed to study the characteristics of the gate vibration. These test results are assessed in comparison with formerly test results, as a result, presents a design method of Tainter gate to reduce the gate vibration and a basic data for the guide manuals of gate management.

An integral test facility, PILLAR, was commissioned, aiming to provide valuable experimental results which can be referenced by system and component designers and used for the performance demonstration of liquid-metal-cooled, passive small modular reactors (SMRs) toward their licensing. The setup was conceptualized by a scaling analysis which allows the vertical arrangements to be conserved from its prototypic reactor, scaled uniformly in the radial direction achieving a flow area reduction of 1/200. Its final design includes several heater rods which simulate the reactor core, and a single heat exchanger representing the steam generators in the prototype. The system behaviors were characterized by its data acquisition system implementing various instruments. In this paper, we present not only a detailed description of the facility components, but also selected experimental results of both steady-state and transient cases. The obtained steady-state test results were utilized for the benchmark of a system code, achieving a capability of accurate simulations with ±3% of maximum deviations. It was followed by qualitative comparisons on the transient test results which indicate that the integral system behaviors in passive LBE-cooled systems are able to be predicted by the code.

A two-phase natural circulation test using SMART integral test loop (SMART-ITL) was conducted to explore thermo-hydraulic phenomena of two-phase natural circulation in the SMART reactor. Specifically, the test examined the natural circulation in the primary loop under a stepwise coolant inventory loss while keeping the core power constant at 5% of the scaled full power. Based on the test results, three flow regimes were observed: single-phase natural circulation (SPNC), two-phase natural circulation (TPNC), and boiler-condenser natural circulation (BCNC). The flow rate remained steady in the SPNC, slightly increased in the TPNC, and dropped abruptly and maintained in the BCNC. Using a natural circulation flow map, the natural circulation characteristic in the SMART-ITL was compared with those in pressurized water reactor simulators. In the SMART-ITL, a BCNC regime appeared instead of siphon condensation and reflux condensation regimes because of the use of once-through steam generators.

Wind tunnel tests are performed so as to investigate the aerodynamic drag characteristics of HEMU-400x, next generation Korean high speed train. The experiments of 1/20 scaled 5-car train model are done at 30, 40, 50, 60m/s with a normal bogie, a bogie cover, and a streamlined shape. The flat plate with knife edge are installed to minimize the effect of boundary layer of wind tunnel for the train model. The aerodynamic drag reduction was more by a streamlined shape than by a bogie cover from a normal bogie. Based on the experimental results, the aerodynamic drag of HEMU-400x test train(6-car) was predicted. It is prediceted that More bogie cover could reduce more aerodynamic drag of the test train in replacement of normal bogies.

This paper describes a control system design for the transmission STATCON by applying a non-linear feedback. A mathematical model for the STATCON was derived by using a 3-phase equivalent circuit and its controller was designed by a numerical computation. The verification of newly designed controller was performed by EMTP simulation and scaled hardware model test. The test results show that the controller using non-linear feedback skim controls its reactive power properly without large transients.

NREL Phase VI 12% 축소모델을 사용한 표준풍력터빈 풍동시험은 2006$\sim$2007년에 수행되었다. 1,2차 풍동시험은 복합재 및 알루미늄 블레이드를 사용하여 블레이드 제작정밀도 및 표면상태에 의한 영향을 파악하기 위해 수행되었다. 3차 풍동시험은 축소효과보상기법 개발을 위해 수행되었다. Bo-105 40% 모델에 사용된 코드확장기법을 적용하여 15% 코드확장 블레이드를 사용하여 풍동시험을 수행하였다. 시험결과 코드확장기법을 적용할 경우 풍속에 대한 토크 기울기는 실물모델과 잘 일치하나, 최대토크 대비 8%정도 간극을 나타내고 있다. 풍력터빈 블레이드와 같이 캠버가 큰 익형을 사용하는 회전체에 대한 수정된 보상기법을 적용할 경우 이러한 간극은 보상될 수 있다.
