천체관측은 무한대 거리에서 오는 광자의 양을 측정하는 분야로 미량의 광자를 측정하기 위하여 측정기의 냉각은 아주 중요한 문제가 되었다. 과거에는 측정기 냉각에 드라이아이스가 사용되어 왔으며, 1980년대에는 액체질소를 이용한 냉각이 주를 이뤘다. 액체질소를 이용한 냉각 방식은 액체질소를 생성하거나 구입하여야 하는 불편함이 있었으며, 주입시 낮은 온도로 인하여 항상 안전사고에 대비하여야 했다. 1990년대 이후 다양한 상업용 CCD의 개발로 인하여 상대적으로 저렴한 CCD를 판매하였으며, 상업용 CCD는 이전 -110℃의 냉각이 아닌 -30℃의 냉각 성능을 보였다. 상업용 CCD는 CCD 칩 내부의 진공 구현이 미비하였으며, 초기 판매시 아르곤 가스 또는 실리카겔 등으로 CCD 칩 내부의 습도를 낮춰왔으나, 구입 후 1~2년이 지나면 점차 가스 누설로 인하여 CCD 칩 내부에 얼음이 생기는 문제가 발생하기 시작하였다. 이번 연구는 CCD 칩 내부 공간에 진공튜브를 삽입하여 실시간 진공상태를 측정하는 한편, 10Torr 이상 진공 도달시 자동으로 내부 공기를 흡입하여 CCD 칩 내부를 항시 10Torr 이하로 유지하도록 개발하였으며, 10Torr 이하의 진공 유지시 습도 99%의 환경에서 최대 냉각인 -35℃를 유지하여도 전혀 얼음이 생기지 않음을 확인하였다. 이번연구로 개발된 자동 진공조절시스템이 각 천문대에서 사용중인 상업용 CCD에 적용된다면, 날씨환경에 관계없이 항상 최대냉각 상태로 천체관측을 진행할 수 있으리라 기대된다.

An improved water chemistry technique was studied to reduce radioactivity build-up in reactor coolant system. The technique is convering the current coordinated lithium-boron chemistry regime to the elevated lithium chemistry regime in order to maintain high pH. Correlations between reactor coolant pH and radioactivity build-up were analized by using pH data from domestic PWRs. Consequently, it was founded that high pH chemistry was moer effective for radioactivity build-up reduction than current chemistry regime. This fact had revealed that much portion of reactor coolant corrosion products were nickel ferrite rather than magnetite, and that pH value ranging 7.0-7.4 was appropriate for high-pH chemistry operation.

This study is a research to compare efficiency of new cooling system (chiller, pre-cooler) to that of the conventional system at the hydrogen refueling station (HRS). This study includes contents for thermodynamic comparison of cooling system for HRS and comparison of pros and cons of its components. So It is to establish design concept of cooling system of HRS supplying with fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV). HRS is charging high pressure H2 (700 bar) to FCEV. However cooling system is need to prevent temperature rise in tank. This cooling system consists of pre-cooler and chiller system.

The combustion chamber and nozzle of a liquid rocket engine should be protected from the high temperature combustion gas generated by the chamber. An upper-stage nozzle extension has a large expansion ratio, therefore, The light-weight refractory materials have been used since the weight impact on the launcher performance is crucial. Gas film cooling method was used before, but was not applicable nowadays. Ablative cooling method and radiative cooling method with niobium alloy, Ni-based superalloy and ceramic based composite have been used to this day.

The behavior of a one-step fixed bed reactor which directly synthesizes dimethyl ether(DME) from Natural Gas was simulated. In the reactor, the prevention of the occurrence of hot spots which can cause deactivation of catalysts is pivotal, since methanol synthesis and dehydration reaction involved in the synthesis of DME are highly exothermic. Therefore, we simulated and compared performance of the reactor with counter-current cooling and pool boiling system that can be applied to a commercial plant. As a result, we found that counter-current cooling system is more effective in terms of CO conversion and DME productivity. However, pool boiling system can operate in a small temperature gradient that can decrease problems caused by hot spot. And, the system can operate in a safer range.

The heat flowrate and pressure dorp of $CO_2$ in a multi-tube-in-tube helical coil type gas cooler were predicted using LMTD method and compared with the experimental data. The mass flowrate of $CO_2$ and coolant were varied from 0.06 to 0.075 [kg/s], and the cooling pressure of gas cooler were from 8 to 10 [MPa], respectively. The LMTD method is used to predict the heat flowrate and pressure drop of supercritical $CO_2$ during in-tube cooling. The equations used by LMTD method were Gnielinski correlation for $CO_2$ and Dittus-Boelter correlation for coolant, respectively. The equation used to predict the pressure drop of $CO_2$ and coolant is Blasius correlation. In comparison of heat flowrate and pressure drop of $CO_2$ measured by experiment to that predicted by LMTD method, the experimental heat flowrate and pressure drop of $CO_2$ in the multi-tube-in-tube helical coil type gas cooler shows a relatively good agreement with that predicted by LMTD method.

The cooling water circulation pipes had been used to drop the temperature of refractory outside shell of blast furnace by cooling plate or stave type. They were attacked by surrounding CO gas and it was the cause that they were corroded and the water inflow in the refractory due to leakage of water. So, the life of refractory material was shorten and changed for the worse the conditions of blast furnace. The automatic sensing device for water leakage of cooling pipe was developed to check the position of trouble by use the micro-process system when cooling water leak and then CO gas will be inflowed into the cooling pipe at the leakage position. The inflowed CO gas will be detected in the micro-process system and delivered the detected position of cooling plate or stave to main control room through the wireless-radio relay station. This system can be possible to detect the position of cooling plate or stave the water leakage part immediately and then deliver the signal to main control room by use the micro-process system and wireless-radio relay station. This system will develop the working condition from manual system to unmanned auto alarm system.

The cooling characteristics of a hot steel plate by a laminar impinging water bar were investigated experimentally. The dynamic parameters investigated were nozzle height L between nozzle and the hot plate, flow rate Q, and initial cooling temperature. Because the boiling phenomena on a hot steel plate are unsteady and change discontinuously, it is difficult to analyze the cooling characteristics directly. In this study the cooling efficiency was estimated by using the temperature decay rates and expansion speed of the water cooling zone. Temperature in the water cooling zone decreased rapidly and the radius of the water cooling zone expanded nearly in proportion to square root of the cooling time. With increasing initial temperature of a hot steel plate, the cooling efficiency became descendent. The cooling curve in the case of L/D = 30 showed the largest temperature decay rate and excellent cooling performance.

It was carried out hot-firing test with a regenerative-cooled sub-scale combustor which was applied regenerative-cooling, film cooling and thermal barrier coating. Test results showed that cooling methods used in the combustor play an full role in the operation of the combustor under the design condition but it is occurred high frequency combustion instability due to unsteady flow of fuel by structural support ring inserted in fuel manifold. The flow pattern of fuel was improved by excluding the ring and it will be carried out additional hot-firing test to verify the combustion stability of modified combustor.
