The European nuclear design requirements, which should be satisfied by nuclear reactors in Europe, usually recommend a so-called core catcher, which is a molten core ex-vessel cooling facility, to manage a severe accident at a nuclear reactor. Two different types of core catcher concepts are compared to determine their abilities to manage severe accidents and cool core melts. The study reveals that direct cooling is better for cooling capacity and is convenient to construct, while indirect cooing is better for the management of a severe accident.

This paper deals with a parametric study on cooling channel configurations to enhance the cooling effect. As a cooling effect has been increased, the exhaust gas by the plant from a manufacture is becoming deceased. To solve this problem, the design of a efficient cooling system is needed. In this paper, the cooling channel was analyzed to improve the cooling performance. The heat transfer rates depending on the number of baffle and the heiht of fin were obtained by using numerical simulation method. Three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Naiver-Stokes equations were used to estimate flow and heat transfer in cooling channel, and the $k-{\varepsilon}$ model for turbulence closure was employed.

The purpose of the study was to establish the design procedure and develop the program for designing regenerative cooling system. To obtain the design parameter necessary for the realization of regenerative cooling system, water-cooled regenerative cooling system was designed from suggested procedure. To compare experimental results with a present method of analytically predicting the heat transfer loads, $250kg_{f}$ experimental LRE with water-cooled regenerative cooling system was investigated. Based on the investigation, the good correction between the predicted and measured data was verified. Developed design program can be used to designing Kerosene- cooled regenerative cooling system. The basic experimental data and correlations obtained in this study for 250kgf experimental LRE with water-cooled regenerative cooling system can be directly applicable to the real LRE.

In the present study, fin assembly was developed for this cooling system. As results, the developed system has the improvements of cooling performances and radiant heat ratio. Its increasing of airflow mass is about 20%, and radiation rate of heating is twice or more as high as the conventional system.

Recently, there has been a growing global interest in environmental conservation, and the field of electric power equipment has been working to become more environment-friendly. Accordingly, the low noise cooling fan of power transformers was developed through the improvement of blade shape. These are expected to apply to existing power transformers and low noise transformers. It is essential for low noise fan to possess good cooling performance as well as low audible noises. But, there was not analysis on the audible noise level and the cooling performance for low noise cooling fans until present. In this paper, we measure the audible noise level and the flow rate of low noise cooling fans to inspect the performance, Also, we confirmed that the low noise cooling fan is available to apply to power transformers through temperature rise tests of power transformers.

An experimental study was carried out to investigate the effect of film cooling in the lab-scale liquid rocket engine using liquid oxygen(LOx) and Jet A-1(Jet engine fuel) as propellants. Film coolants(Jet A-1 and water) was injected through the film cooling injector. The outside wall temperature of the combustor and film cooled length were determined for chamber pressure, mixture ratio, and the different geometries(injection angle) with the percent film coolant flow rate. The loss of characteristic velocity was determined for the case of film cooling with water and Jet A-1. As chamber pressure increased, the outside wall temperature increased in the nozzle but unchanged over the 9 percent film coolant flow rate for the combustion chamber used in this study. Characteristic velocity wasn't affected with the mixture ratio over the 9 percent film coolant flow rate.

In this paper, a novel thermoelectric cooling system utilizing condensed water is introduced and its electrical equivalent circuit model is proposed. The introduced system can deals with the condensed water and improves efficiency by spraying the condensed water on heat sink. The electrical equivalent circuit model is derived by combining the circuit model of the classical thermoelectric cooling system with equation of heat exchange. Because the parameters of the model can be defined from not other experimental data but just the data sheet of the thermoelement, the model can be useful to design and develop the controller of the proposed system. We verify that the proposed model is valid and the introduced system is more efficient than the previous thermoelectric cooling system through simulations.

재생냉각은 엔진 경량화 및 높은 추력을 발생시킬 수 있으며 엔진이 장시간 작동할 경우에도 추력의 변화가 일어나지 않는 우수성으로 인해, 액체로켓엔진에서 보편적으로 사용되고 있는 냉각방식이며, 고성능 액체로켓엔진 개발에 있어서 핵심기술이다. 일반적으로 재생냉각 방식은 연소기 내벽에 형성된 냉각유로에 연료 또는 산화제를 흘려보내 고온고압의 연소실내에 온도 경계층을 생성시키면서 벽면온도를 적정온도 이내로 유지하는 것이 목적이며, 또한 냉각유로에서의 압력강하가 추진제 공급 시스템의 공급 압력의 한계값을 넘어서지 않도록 하며, 냉각후의 연료 또는 산화제의 열역학적 상태가 엔진 작동 조건에 적합하도록 제어하여야 한다.

RELAP5/MOD3.1.2을 이용하여 영광3/4호기의 부분충수운전중 정지냉각계통 기능상실사고를 모의하였다. 이 해석은 노심에서 발생되는 증기를 가압기 Manway로 배출시켜 노심을 냉각할 경우, 증기발생기 2차측 냉각재 유무에 따르는 계통거동을 분석한 것이다. 해석결과, 노심에서의 비등은 사고후 약 6분 경에 발생하였으며, 증기발생기 2차측에 냉각재가 없는 경우는, 냉각재가 채워져 있는 경우보다 0.16 bar 더 높은 1.8 bar의 계통 압력을 나타내어, 현재의 운전절차서에 제시한 RWST의 수위 (70%)로는 중력주입이 불가능한 것으로 밝혀졌다. 이런 해석결과를 토대로 할 때, 부분충수 운전중 증기발생기 2차측 냉각재는 최소한 한 대에는 충수하고, RWST 수위 제한치도 84 % 이상으로 증가시키는 운전 절차서의 개정이 필요한 것으로 판단된다.

파단전 누수균열을 일으키는 가장 주요한 파손 형태는 피로파손으로 사료되어, 하나로 일차냉각계통 배관의 피로파손 가능성에 대한 정량적인 해석을 수행하였다. 하나로 일차냉각계통 배관은 발전로에 비해 저온, 저압이므로 ASME Class 3 로 분류되어 설계 완료되었지만 Class 3 절차에 의해서는 피로해석을 구체적으로 수행할 수 없어, 본 연구의 피로해석에 서는 Class 1 절차에 따라 피크응력강도의 범위를 보수적으로 계산하여 피로누적계수를 산정하였다. 일차냉각계통 배관 중에서 피로파괴 가능성이 가장 큰 것으로 예상되는 고응력 지점을 배관응력해석 결과로부터 선택하여 피로해석을 수행하였다. 선택된 분기관 연결부, 앵커 지점 및 butt 용접부의 피로누적계수들이 모두 1 보다 훨씬 작았으므로 열평창과 OBE 지진하중으로 인한 일차냉각계통 배관의 피로파손 가능성은 매우 희박한 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 냉각재 상실시 파단전 누수균열 개념을 적용하기 위한 일차냉각계통 배관의 피로파손에 대한 배관의 건전성은 충분히 입증된 것으로 판단된다.
