Integrity evaluations on a platen superheater were conducted as per ASME Section VIII Division 2(hereafter 'ASME VIII(2)') which was originally used for design with implicit consideration of creep effects. A platen superheater subjected to severe loading conditions of high pressure and high temperature at creep regime in a supercritical thermal plant in Korea was chosen for present study. Additional evaluations were conducted as per nuclear-grade high-temperature design rule of RCC-MRx that takes creep effects into account explicitly. Comparisons of the two results from ASME VIII(2) and RCC-MRx were conducted to quantify the conservatism of ASME VIII(2). From present analyses, it was shown that the design evaluation results exceeded allowable limits of RCC-MRx for the plant design conditions although limits of ASME VIII(2) were satisfied regardless of operation time, which means that design as per ASME VIII(2) might be potentially non-conservative in case of operation in creep range. A high-temperature design evaluation program as per RCC-MRx, called 'HITEP_RCC-MRx' has been used and it was shown that pressure boundary components can be designed reliably with the program especially for the loading conditions of long-term creep conditions.

The alloys required for fossil power plants are altered from stainless steel that has been used below $600^{\circ}C$ to Ni-based alloys that can operate at $700^{\circ}C$ for Hyper Super Critical (HSC) steam turbine. The IN740 alloy (Special Metals Co. USA) is proposed for improved rupture strength and corrosion resistance at high temperature. However, previous studies with experiments and simulations on stable phases at about $700^{\circ}C$ indicated the formation of the eta phase with the wasting of a gamma prime phase, which is the most important reinforced phase in precipitation hardened Ni alloys, and this resulted in the formation of precipitation free zones to decrease the strength. On the basis of thermodynamic calculation, the new Ni-based superalloy named LESS 1 (Low Eta Sigma Superalloy) was designed in this study to improve the strengthening effect and structure stability by depressing the formation of topologically close packed phases, especially sigma and eta phases at high temperature. A thermal exposure test was carried out to determine the microstructure stability of LESS 1 in comparison with IN740 at $800^{\circ}C$ for 300 hrs. The experimental results show that a needle-shaped eta phase was formed in the grin boundary and it grew to intragrain, and a precipitation free zone was also observed in IN740, but these defects were entirely controlled in LESS 1.

Pipe-rack structures supporting high temperature and pressure are of great importance to ensure the safety of the operation of the plants. If some damage occurred in the pipe-rack structure, the facilities not only bring damage to the commercial property, but also result in economic losses. Specially, since pipe-rack structures are exposed to various environmental conditions, it is essential to evaluate the thermal behavior of the structure caused by environmental conditions for the appropriate design and maintenance of the pipe-rack structure. Thus, based on a selected, typical pipe-rack structure, a thermal-stress coupled analysis was conducted to evaluate the temperature distributions and thermal stresses of the structure. For this, this study accounted for the operating condition of the pipe and the effect of environmental conditions, Yeosu in South Korea and Saudi Arabia in the Middle East. The results of the study showed the need for accounting for a variance in the environmental factors to evaluate the thermal behavior of the pipe-rack structure along with the working condition of pipe.

The hot cell facility for research activities related to the lithium reduction of spent fuel, which is designed to permit safe handling of source materials with radioactivity levels up to 1,385 TBq, is planned to be built. To meet this goal, the facility is designed to keep gamma and neutron radiation lower than the recommended dose-rate in normally occupied areas. The calculations peformed with QAD-CGGP and MCNP-4C are used to evaluate the proposed engineering design concepts that would provide acceptable dose-rates during a normal operation in hot cell facility. The maximum effective gamma dose-rates on the surfaces of the facility at operation area and at service area calculated by QAD-CGGP are estimated to be $2.10{\times}10^{-3}, 2.97{\times}10^{-3} and 1.01{\times}10{-1}$ mSv/h, respectively. And those calculated by MCNP-4C are $1.60{\times}10^{-3}, 2.99{\times}10^{-3} and 7.88{\times}10^{-2}$ mSv/h, respectively, The dose-rates contributed by neutrons are one order of magnitude less than that of gamma sources. Therefore, it is confirmed that the radiological design for hot cell facility satisfies the Korean criterion of 0.01 mSv/h for the operation area and 0.15 mSv/h for the service (maintenance) area.

Propeller aircraft propelled by an electric propulsion system is gaining a renewed interest because of ever-increasing environmental concern on harmful emissions emitted from conventional jet engines and national energy security. Traditional aircraft sizing methods are not readily applicable to electric propulsion aircraft that utilize a variety of alternative energy sources and power generation systems. This study showcases an electric propulsion aircraft sizing exercise based on a generalized, power based sizing method. A general aviation aircraft is propelled by an electric propulsion system that comprises of a propeller, a high temperature super conducting motor, a Proton Exchange Membrance(PEM) fuel cell system fuelled with hydrogen, and power conditioning equipment. In order to assess the impact of technology progression, aircraft sizing was conducted for two different sets of technology assumptions for electric components, and the results were compared with conventional baseline aircraft.

A range of techniques have been being developed to remove the volatile organic compounds from paining processes. High temperature decomposition of harmful VOCs using arc plasma has recently been proposed, and this work analyzed the extreme hot process by computer-aided fluid dynamics prior to the reactor design. Numerical simulations utilized the conservation equations of mass and momentum. The simulation showed that the fluid flowed down along the inner surface of the centrifugal reactor by forming intensive spiral trajectories. Although the high temperature gas generated by plasma influences the bottom of the reactor, no heat transfer in radial direction appeared. The decomposition efficiency of a typical VOCs, toluene, was found to be a maximum of 67% across the reactor, which was similar to the value (approximately 70%) for the lab-scale test.

The plasma resistances of nitrile curable perfluoro elastomer (NT PFE) and peroxide curable PFE (PO PFE) after exposing to $NF_3$ and $O_2$ remote plasmas were investigated by analyzing weight loss and morphology of O-ring made of PFE. The compounds were designed following the typical formulations of O-ring/seal which were applied in semiconductor and LCD production site. They were blended by an open roll mill, and then, O-ring was finally made by hot press molding and oven curing. The weight loss was calculated and morphology was observed for each atmosphere and temperature by a digital weighing machine and SEM. As results, it was confirmed the weight loss and related morphology were meaningfully different according to the cure type of PFE, filler system, and the species of remote plasma.

This study is for figuring out a possibility of realization of the thermal protection system(TPS) for temporary use under high temperature condition and improving a design of the future TPS. On this purpose, environmental condition of the system has been simplified: the boundary conditions consist of a internally heating surface and a externally heated surface which is simulating the external high temperature condition. Configuration of the system is simplified as a hexahedon. Melting characteristics of the phase change material(PCM) and air temperature variation of TPS with or without connector have been numerically analyzed and compared. As a result of numerical analysis, the heat from the internally heated surface could not be effectively transferred. Therefore, temperature of inner space has been increased.

In modern society, a huge number of the buildings have been constructed with RC structure. RC structures have many structural instabilities due to earthquake, typhoon, construction fault, design phase errors. Therefore, many reinforcement methods are being implemented to solve this problem. In the reinforcement method, the organic epoxy adhesive used in the FRP reinforcing method is abruptly damaged when exposed to high temperature, which is directly connected to the fall of the reinforcing material. Therefore, the present study was conducted to develop inorganic refractory mortar with a certain level of adhesion ability to reduce the heat transferred to FRP reinforcement when exposed to high temperatures. As a result of the test, it showed high adhesion strength at room temperature condition with the inclusion of EVA resin, and showed no performance deterioration up to about $300^{\circ}C$ even under heating conditions. Also, it was confirmed that the backside temperature was lower as the thickness increased, and converged to a constant temperature of about $780^{\circ}C$ after 2 hours of heating.

98년말 동일제지에 도입 설치된 Condebelt 설비는 세계 최초의 대형생산설비로 국제적 인 관심을 모으고 있다. 이러한 첨단 Condebelt 기술의 국산화를 위해서는 국내 원료 특성 에 적합하도록 공정최적화가 요청된다. 본 연구에서는 KOCC를 원료로 이용한 라이너지를 C Conde belt를 이용하여 생산할 경우 주요 공정변수에 따른 물성 변화를 평가하고, 이를 통하 여 Condebelt 공정을 최적화하고자 실험실용 파일로트 건조기를 이용하여 Condebelt 공정의 주요 변수가 지질에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 실험용 Condebelt 건조장치의 상부플레이트는 18WC까지, 하부플레이트는 냉각수를 이용 하여 40-80'C까지 조절이 가능하도록 설계하였으며, 유압을 이용하여 압체 압력과 시간을 변화시킬 수 있도록 하였다. 구축된 실험장치를 이용하여 Conde belt 공정의 주요 변수인 온도, 압력, 압체시간, 유입 지필의 건조도 변화에 따른 라이너지의 물성 변화를 평가하고 이를 실린더 건조된 종이의 물성과 비교하였다. 그 결과 본 연구에서 검토된 모든 건조조건에서 Conde belt 건조된 종이가 실린더 건조 된 종이보다 높은 강도를 나타내었으며, 투기저항성과 광택도 역시 향상되었다. 투기저항성 과 광택도는 강도적 성질과 달리 유입지 건조도가 높을수록, 상부플레이트의 온도가 높을수 록 그 효과가 저하되었다. 일반적으로 KOCC를 원료로한 라이너지를 Conde belt로 제조할 경우 상부 고온챔버의 온도를 160'C, 압체압력을 5 bar로 조절하는 것이 가장 좋을 것으로 판단되었다. 원료펄프의 조성에 따른 Condebelt 공정의 건조효과를 연구한 결과 모든 펄프에서 공히 C Condebelt 건조방법이 실린더 건조방법에 비하여 물성 향상 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났으 며, 그 효과는 펼프의 리그닌 함량이 높을수록 크게 나타났다. 또 Condebelt의 물성개선 특 성을 이용한 원료비 절감 가능성을 평가하기 위해 AOCC와 KOCC를 이용하여 단층지와 이 층지를 제조하고 물성을 비교평가하였다. 그 결과 Condebelt를 이용하면 KOCC의 비율을 증가시키더라도 AOCC만을 이용하여 실린더 건조한 종이보다 우수한 물성을 얻을 수 있었다. 이러한 연구를 통하여 Condebelt 공정이 국내 저급원료로 제조된 종이의 강도 저하를 극복할 수 있는 기술임을 확인하였다.
