가압경수로의 압력경계기기는 약 $300^{\circ}C$, 150기압의 고온고압수환경에서 가동되고 있다. 특히 가압기 밀림관은 고온수와, 저온수가 교차하는 부분으로 열성층 형성으로 열적, 기계적 피로 및 수화학환경이 더해진 부식피로 등에 의하여 손상을 받는다. PWR 원전에서 수화학환경은 대표적으로 용존산소(DO) 5ppb, pH 6~8, 용존수소(DH) <30 cc/kg, 온도 $316^{\circ}C$의 환경을 유지하게 된다. 가압기 밀림관에는 오스테나이트계 스테인리스강이 사용되는데, 오스테나이트계 스테인리스강은 고온 수화학환경에 민감한 것으로 알려져 있다. 따라서 오스테나이트계 스테인리강을 공기중에서의 기계적특성 및 피로특성을 향상시키기 위하여 질소를 첨가한 스테인리스강을 제조하여 PWR 원전환경에서의 피로균열성장특성을 평가하였다. 실험에 사용된 재료는 PWR 원전 가압기 밀림관 소재인 Type 347 스테인리스강에 0.0005 wt%가 첨가된 상용재와 0.11 wt% 질소가 첨가된 재료이다. 사용된 시편형상은 두께 5 mm, 폭 25.4 mm의 CT 시편이다. 수화학환경은 150기압, 온도 $316^{\circ}C$, 용존산소(DO) 5ppb, 용존수소(DH) 30 cc/Kg, pH는 약 7로 유지 하였으며, 응력비 0.1, 하중 반복속도 10Hz의 기계적 조건에서 하중제어로 시험을 진행하였다. 균열길이는 직류전위차법(Direct Current Potential Drop: DCPD)을 이용하여 측정하였다. 질소함량이 증가할수록 동일 사이클에서 균열길이가 늦게 성장하였고, 피로균열성장속도도 약간 늦어지는 것으로 나타났다. 각 스테인리스강의 피로파면 관찰결과 상용재는 약 1 ${\mu}m$의 산화물들이 생성되는 반면 질소첨가 스테인리스강은 약 0.1 ${\mu}m$정도 산화물이 생성되었다. 산화막의 두께도 질소가 첨가됨으로써 상용재에 비해 얇게 생성되었다. 따라서 질소가 첨가됨으로써 부식환경에서 내산화성이 향상되었으며, 이는 피로균열성장특성에 영향을 미치는 것으로 판단된다.

Owing to the global energy crisis, studies have strongly focused on realizing energy savings through vehicle weight reduction using light metal alloys or polymer composites. Polymer composites afford many advantages including enabling the fabrication of complex shapes by injection molding, and glass and carbon fibers offer improved mechanical properties. However, the high temperature in an engine room and the high humidity during the rainy season can degrade the mechanical properties of the polymer. In this study, the mechanical properties of injection-molded glass-fiber-reinforced polymer were assessed at a temperature of $85^{\circ}C$ and the maximum moisture absorption conditions. The result showed a 23% reduction in the maximum tensile strength under high temperature, 30% reduction under maximum moisture absorption, and 70% reduction under both heat and moisture conditions. For material selection during the design process, the effects of high temperature and high humidity should be considered.

This study was conducted to test the efficacy of plum (Prunus mume) and red ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A Meyer) marc as stress inhibitors under heat stress and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge in broilers by investigating their effects on blood biochemical parameters, immunoglobulin concentration and splenic cytokine mRNA expressions. A total of one hundred ninety-two 1-d-old male broiler chicks (Ross 308) were divided into 2 stress conditions (heat and LPS) experiments. Each experiment was divided into 4 treatment groups with 8 replicates of 3 birds in each group. NC (negative control, no immune substances), PC (positive control, 25 ppm ${\beta}$-glucan), PM (1% plum marc) and RGM (3% red ginseng marc) treatments were administered with respective substance through water supplementation. During heat stress, The Ca/Mg ratio in PM and RGM was significantly decreased in comparison with that of NC (P<0.05). The immunoglobulin M was significantly lower in PM than in NC (P<0.05). Expression patterns of splenic cytokine mRNAs (IL-1, IL-2 and IL-6) were similar over the treatment. Expression rates of IL-1 and IL-2 in PM were significantly decreased in comparison with NC. Also, expression rates of IL-1, IL-2 and IL-6 were significantly lower in RGM than in NC (P<0.05). In conclusion, the dietary supplementation of plum and red ginseng marc improved coping ability to heat stress by preventing Ca/Mg ratio increment and by inhibiting inflammatory response in broiler chicks. However, it is necessary to determine optimal dietary level of red ginseng marc for improving growth performances in broiler chickens. These results suggest the possibility that plum and red ginseng marc could be used as the stress inhibitor under heat stress and inflammatory response in broiler chicks.

제철용 고로구조물의 안전성 위협 요인으로는, 고로자중이나 철광석 낙하 둥과 같은 기계하중 외에도 구조물 내부 온도가 최대 $1700^{\circ}C$에 이르는 고온 환경을 들 수 있다. 이러한 고온의 작업 환경은 고로 구성부재들의 크립손상, 열피로 문제 등을 야기시키기 때문에 이들 고열에 의한 영향평가는 고로의 안전성 평가에 있어 필수요소로 거론되고 있다. 일반적으로 고로의 단면을 구성하고 있는 내화재, 냉각판, 철피 등의 냉각시스템을 거치면서 내부의 고온 환경은 고로 외피에 이르는 동안 온도강하가 이루어진다. 급격한 온도강하는 나타나지 않지만 장기간 고로 가동에 있어 상시하중으로 작용하는 이 열원에 의해 고로 각 구부위에는 열응력이 발생하고 이 열응력과 나머지 기계적 하중의 조합에 의해 크립이나 열피로 등과 같이 고로 구조물 안전성 위해요인들이 발생한다고 분석되어 진다. 따라서 본 연구에서는, 고로 안전성 평가를 위한 첫 번째 단계로서 범용유한요소해석 프로그램인 ANSYS를 이용한 열응력 해석을 수행하여 잠재적인 안전성 위해요인으로 알려진 열응력 발생 특성을 분석하고, 고로 건전설계 및 보수 유지 관리지침으로 활용할 수 있는 기반기술을 개발한다.

We introduced a technology for reducing infrared radiation through the active cooling of hot surfaces by using a thermoelectric refrigerator. Certain surfaces were heated by aerodynamic heating, and the heat generation processes are proposed here. We calculated the temperatures and radiations from surfaces, while using thermoelectric refrigerators to cool the surfaces. The results showed that the contrast between the radiations of certain surfaces and the ambient environments can be removed using thermoelectric refrigerators.

Metal exposed to high temperature/high pressure/oxidizer-rich environment may cause rapid oxidation(ignition and combustion). Therefore, this study was performed for the selection of metal appropriate for high temperature/high pressure/oxidizer-rich environment. In order to make the high temperature, high pressure and oxidizer-rich environment, the test facility utilizing the catalytic reaction of hydrogen peroxide was constructed and the metal oxidation and ignition of the STS series metals were evaluated. The result showed that the change of the selected material (discoloration) and the surface roughness were observed, but the change in the weight and thickness of the specimen was not significant.

Metal exposed to high temperature/high pressure/oxidizer-rich environment may cause rapid oxidation(ignition and combustion). In this study, a DC power supply test system that controls the temperature of specimen by supplying power to the specimen was constructed and after simulating the high temperature/stagnation/oxidizer-rich environment, the metal oxidation and ignition of STS series metal materials were evaluated. As a result, we was confirmed that the deformation (discoloration) of the selected material, the change in the surface roughness and the peeling of the metal surface were observed, and that the weight and the specimen thickness were changed. The most oxidized specimen was STS 304 and the less oxidized specimen was XM-19.

Piezoelectric ultrasonic transducers for high temperature contact measurement were developed. These high temperature ultrasonic transducers (HTUT) consisted of bismuth titanate piezoceramic element whose Curie temperature is higher than $600^{\circ}C$, a backing material of the mixture of tungsten powder and inorganic binder, an inner alumina tube, a wear Plate and a housing. The operational frequencies or the HTUT were 1.04 and 2.08 MHz, respectively. Various commercially available couplants for high temperature were evaluated and compared. As a couplant for high temperature ultrasonic testing between HTUT and test specimen, gold epoxy was selected. The peak amplitude of pulse-echo signals from steel test specimen decreased with increasing temperature. The operational temperature of the HTUT reached up to $500^{\circ}C$ at which the continuous contact measurement was possible.

10-3 Pa 이하의 고진공 환경과 $180^{\circ}C$ 이하의 극저온 환경에서 대형정지궤도위성의 고온 열평형 환경구현을 위한 열제어패널이 설계되었다. 열제어패널은 가로 2.2 m, 세로 2.6 m, 두께 2 mm의 구리판에 구리 튜브가 브레이징되어 있는 형태로 설계되었으며, 지상에서 6 m 이상의 높이에 설치되고 위성의 위치에 따라 이동이 가능해야 하기 때문에, 별도의 지지 구조물이 함께 설계되었다. 따라서, 열제어패널 설치 및 고정을 위한 지지구조물의 경우 160 kg의 무게를 견뎌내야 하며 이동 및 설치에 있어 구조적인 안전성이 확보 되어야 한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 상용유한요소해석 프로그램을 사용하여 열평형시험 시 위성체 상단부의 고온 환경모사를 위한 열제어패널 지지구조물에 대한 구조 안전성을 확인 하였다.
