This study analyzed how the installation of a pressure gauge in the indoor fire hydrant of an apartment building affected identifying pressurized water in the pipe, making it easier to conduct internal inspection on the fire suppression system, and ensuring reliability of fire suppression. The following are the study’s results: First, identifying pressurized water in the indoor firefighting pipe had a positive effect on the installation of a pressure gauge in the indoor fire hydrant. This implies that a higher level of identification of pressurized water in the indoor firefighting pipe had a positive impact on improving the installation and use of a pressure gauge in the indoor fire hydrant. Second, making it easier for the fire safety officer to inspect the fire suppression system had a positive effect on the installation of a pressure gauge in the indoor fire hydrant. This suggests that if it becomes easier for the apartment building’s stakeholder to conduct internal inspection or the firefighting facility manager to carry out inspection on the fire suppression system, it would have a positive effect on the installation of a pressure gauge in the indoor fire hydrant. Finally, ensuring reliability in fire suppression had a positive effect on the installation of a pressure gauge in the indoor fire hydrant. This implies that if it becomes easier to identify pressurized water in the indoor firefighting pipe, for the fire safety officer to conduct internal inspection, or for the firefighting facility manager to carry out inspection in accordance with the fire suppression system’s internal inspection requirements, it would increase reliability in fire suppression, making it more necessary to install a pressure gauge in the indoor fire hydrant.

This study developed an evaluation system of adaptation countermeasures for climate change in the water resources sector using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), and the assessment procedures were applied to the Second Chungcheongnam-do Climate Change Adaptation Implementation Plan (Chungnam Implementation Plan). Firstly, the evaluation criteria are composed of two levels according to the hierarchical structure, and AHP gives priority to 4 evaluation criteria of the first level and 16 alternative indicators of the second level. Secondly, after the importance of the evaluation criteria or indicators has been determined, the significance of each measure was evaluated by applying it to the water-sector measures of the Chungnam Implementation Plan, and the effectiveness of the evaluation system was validated. The Chungnam case study shows that the evaluation system will be more effective and efficient when it is applied during development phase rather than after the implementation plan is finalized. It is also expected that the evaluation system will be used to evaluate and prioritize climate change adaptation policies in other regions, and then to compare the means of adaptation to climate change in various regions and to select recommendation policies.

본 연구는 충주댐 (청풍호)의 부유식 수상태양광 발전 시스템 (FPV)이 수질에 미치는 영향을 조사하고자 하였다. 충주댐 (청풍호) FPV는 수표면적 (97 km2)의 0.04% 를 차지 한다. FPV 설치 전후 호수 전체의 수질을 비교·분석하였다. 전체 호수의 DO, BOD, TOC 및 Chl-a는 설치 기간 후 유의한 수준 (p<0.05)에서 증가한 반면, 전기전도도는 감소하였다. 이는 동일한 비교 기간 동안 40% 증가한 강수량 으로 인해 영양염류 유입이 증가한 때문으로 판단된다. 또한 2017년 5월과 11월 FPV 중앙 직하부 (FPVC) 및 영향권 지점에서 수질 인자를 측정·비교하였다. 그 결과, FPVC와 영향권 지점의 수질 인자가 통계적으로 다르지 않았으며 (p>0.05), FPV 시설이 수질 저하를 유발하지 않음을 보여주었다. 2018년 9월부터 11월까지 5차례에 걸쳐 수온, 광도 및 식물 플랑크톤 군집도 수심별로 측정·분석하였다. 수온은 지점별로 다르지 않았으며, 광도는 FPVC에서 27~50%로 감소한 것으로 조사되었다. 대조구와 비교해보면 감소된 광도에도 불구하고 FPVC에서 조류의 출현종과 현존량이 유의미하게 다르지 않았다 (p>0.05). 그러나, 11월 초의 시료의 경우, FPVC에서 Aulacoseira 속에 속하는 부착 규조류가 우점하였으며 대조구보다 현존량이 상당히 높았다. 이는 FPV 시스템에 의한 일시적이고 국부적인 정체 수역 형성과 관계있을 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구 결과는 향후 수상태양광 설치에 관한 정책수립에 필요한 기초 자료를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 또한 수상태양광 시설에 대한 장기적인 수질 모니터링과 수상태양광 시설에 의한 수리동역학적 연구, 수상태양광의 설치 면적과 수질과의 상관관계 연구 등이 필요하며 이를 통해 수상태양광 활용성을 극대화 시킬 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

본 연구는 난방온실의 온도분포 균일화를 위한 기초자료 제공을 목적으로 온수난방 방식의 토마토 재배 온실 에서 난방실험을 통하여 난방배관의 표면온도와 실내기온 사이의 상관관계를 분석하고, 난방배관의 열전달특성 분석과 난방배관 배치의 개선을 통하여 난방배관 표면온도의 편차를 줄이고 균일도를 향상시키기 위한 방안을 도출하였다. 서로 다른 두 온실의 온도분포를 분석하여 최대편차와 균일도를 검토한 결과, 온수의 유량이 많고 난방배관의 길이가 짧게 배치된 온실의 온도편차가 작고, 균일도는 높은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 순환팬을 가동한 경우에 온도편차는 작아지고 균일도가 개선되는 것을 확 인할 수 있었다. 난방배관의 표면온도와 실내기온 사이의 상관관계를 분석한 결과, 두 온실 모두에서 유의적인 (p<0.01) 정적 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 온수난방 온실에서 실내기온의 분포는 난방배관 표면온도의 분포에 영향을 받는다는 것을 확인할 수 있었고, 온도편차 가 최소화 되도록 난방배관을 배치함으로써 실내기온 분포의 균일도를 개선할 수 있는 것으로 판단되었다. 난방 배관의 열전달 특성을 분석한 결과 배관의 길이가 길어 지면 온도편차는 커지고, 관내의 유속이 빨라지면 온도 편차는 작아지는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 지선배관의 길이가 짧아지도록 난방배관을 배치하고, 관내의 유속을 제어함으로써 온실의 온도분포와 환경의 균일성을 개선 할 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다. 국내 온실에서 가장 많 이 사용하고 있는 튜브레일(40A) 방식의 온수난방시스 템에서 하나의 지선배관에서의 온도편차를 3oC 이내로 조절하기 위해서는 관내의 유속이 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0m·s-1일 때 난방배관의 길이는 각각 40, 80, 120, 160, 200m 이내로 제한해야 하는 것으로 분석되었다.

Waterworks facilities inevitably experience some amount of leakage even if there is a lot of investment or state-of-the-art technology that is applied such as DMA(District Metered Area) system construction, leakage detection, repair, pipe rehabilitation, etc. The primary reason is the leakage is naturally restored over time. In the UK, this restoration characteristic is defined as NRR(Natural rate of rise of leakage) and used to decision making for prioritizing active leakage control of DMAs. However, this restoration characteristic is well recognized, but researches on NRR in the water distribution system are insufficient in Korea. In this study, the estimation method of NRR was developed suitable for applicating in Korea considering of SCADA data, water infrastructure, and water usage patterns by modification of the UK's NRR method. The proposed method was applied to 9 DMAs and verified it's applicability by comparing with the other water loss performance indicators. It is expected that the proposed method can be used to support decision making for sustainable NRW(Nor-revenue water) management in the water distribution system.

This study would present a risk analysis method to evaluate stable tap water supply in a multi-regional water supply system and propose a measure for the evaluation of the effect of the conjunctive operation of the multi-regional water supply system using this. Judging from the vulnerability for the crisis response of the entire N. multi-regional water supply system, as compared to the result of Scenario 1 in which no conjunctive pipes were operated, it was found that in Scenario 2, in which conjunctive pipes were partially operated, the vulnerability of crisis response decreased by about 30.6%, and as compared to Scenario 3, the vulnerability of crisis response decreased by 86.2%. In setting a plan for stable tap water supply in N multi-regional water supply system, using the estimated value and the method for the evaluation of the vulnerability of crisis response by pipe, by interval and by line, it is judged that this can be utilized as a basis for the judgment of the evaluation of the operation or the additional installation of conjunctive pipes.

The purpose of this study is to provide basic data for setting environmental design standards for domestic greenhouses. We conducted experiments on thermal environment measurement at two commercial greenhouses where hot water heating system is adopted. We analyzed heat transfer characteristics of hot water heating pipes and heat emission per unit length of heating pipes was presented. The average air temperature in two greenhouses was controlled to 16.3oC and 14.6oC during the experiment, respectively. The average water temperature in heating pipes was 52.3oC and 45.0oC, respectively. Experimental results showed that natural convection heat transfer coefficient of heating pipe surface was in the range of 5.71~7.49W/m2 oC. When the flow rate in heating pipe was 0.5m/s or more, temperature difference between hot water and pipe surface was not large. Based on this, overall heat transfer coefficient of heating pipe was derived as form of laminar natural convection heat transfer coefficient in the horizontal cylinder. By modifying the equation of overall heat transfer coefficient, a formula for calculating the heat emission per unit length of hot water heating pipe was developed, which uses pipe size and temperature difference between hot water and indoor air as input variables. The results of this study were compared with domestic and foreign data, and it was found to be closest to JGHA data. The data of NAAS, BALLS and ASHRAE were judged to be too large. Therefore, in order to set up environmental design standards for domestic greenhouses, it is necessary to fully examine those data through further experiments.

In this study, the cooling and heating amount, temperature, flow rate of turbine type heat meter for water source heat-pump system were experimentally investigated at the standard operating conditions. The obtained cooling and heating capacity from the heat meter were deviated within 5.0%, 3.8% comparing with the precise values calculated from an accredited test facility. Even though the accumulated cooling and heating amount values of the heat meter had a small difference comparing with the precise values, the temperatures of heat meter showed greatly different values comparing with the precise temperature. Therefore, it is highly recommended to develop the heat meter which is appropriate for the water source heat pump systems.

2020년 1월 1일부터 전세계 배출통제구역을 제외한 전 해역에서 선박에 사용하는 연료유의 황함유량 기준이 현행 3.5% m/m에서 0.5% m/m이하로 강화됨에 따라 최근 대체기술로 주목을 끌고 있는 것이 배기가스세정장치이다. 배기가스세정장치는 선박의 연소기관을 통과한 배기가스를 주로 수처리를 통해 탈황 처리함으로써 황함유량 0.5% m/m 또는 0.1% m/m 등의 기준치 이하의 배기가스를 대기로 배출하는 기술을 지칭하는데 상대적으로 저렴한 전통적 인 연료유를 지속적으로 사용할 수 있다는 장점 측면에서 적용사례가 증가하고 있다. 그러나 개방형 배기가스세정장치의 경우 배기가스를 처리한 세정수가 곧바로 해양으로 배출되기 때문에 배기가스세정장치 승인에 관한 지침서에 언급된 기준 외 추가적인 중금속 등으로 인한 해양생태계에 대한 영향이 정확하게 파악되지 않았다는 점에서 중국, 싱가폴 등 일부 국가에서는 세정수의 배출금지 를 추진하고 있다. 이는 사전배려의 원칙을 실현하는 조치의 일환으로 충분히 인정할만한 조치라고 판단된다. 국제해사기구가 개발한 지침서에 따라 각국이 승인한 개방형 배기가스세정 장치에 대해 만약 향후 세정수의 유해성이 과학적으로 파악되고 모든 해역에서의 배출금지조치를 고려할 때는 선의의 목적으로 선박에 설치된 개방형 배기가스세정장치에 대해 설치당시 승인기준으로 작용한 지침서에 따라 정상적으로 작동한다는 조건하에 사용할 수 있도록 Grandfathering 조항을 명문화하여야 한다. 그리고 세정수의 유해성을 평가하기 위한 환경영향평가를 조속히 시행하여 필요하다면 배기가스세정장치의 지침서를 개정하여 새롭게 설치되는 배기 가스세정장치에 대해서는 보다 엄격한 기준을 적용하는 것이 타당할 것이다.

Bisphenol A (BPA), a representative endocrine disrupting chemicals, has adverse effects on growth, development and reproduction in aquatic organisms. The object of this study was to investigate the modulation of antioxidant enzyme - coding genes using quantitative real time RT - PCR (qRT - PCR), enzyme activity and total protein content, to understand oxidative stress responses after exposure to BPA for 48 h in brackish water flea Diaphanosoma celebensis. The BPA (3 mg L-1) significantly upregulated the expression of Cu / Zn - SOD, Mn-SOD, and catalase (CAT ) mRNA. Three GST isoforms (GST-kappa, GST-mu, and GST-theta) mRNA levels significantly increased at the rate of 0.12 mg L-1 of BPA. In particular, GST-mu showed the highest expression level, indicating its key role in antioxidant response to BPA. SOD activity was induced with a concentration - dependent manner, and total protein contents was reduced. These findings indicate that BPA can induce oxidative stress in this species, and these antioxidants may be involved in cellular protection against BPA exposure. This study will provide a better understanding of molecular mode of action of BPA toxicity in aquatic organisms.

The drinking water supply system applicable to the laying hen consists of air-water heat pumps, drinking water tanks, heat stroage tank, circulation pumps, PE pipes, nipples, and control panels. When the heat pump system has power of 7.7 to 8.7 kW per hour, the performance coefficient is between 3.1 and 3.5. The supply temperature from the heat pump to the heat stroage tank was stabilized at about 12±1°C, but the return temperature showed a variation of from 8 to 14°C. Stratified temperature in the storage tank appeared at 12.°C, 13.5°C and 14.4°C, respectively. The drinking water supply temperature remained set at 15°C and 25°C, and the conventional tap water showed a variation for 23°C to 30°C. As chickens grow older, the amount of food intake and drinking water increased. y = -0.0563x2 + 4.7383x + 8.743, R2 = 0.98 and the feed intake showed y = -0.1013x2 + 8.5611x. In the future, further studies will need to figure out the cooling effect on heat stress of livestock.
