Feedwater heaters of many nuclear power plants have recently experienced wall thinning damage, which will increase as operating time progresses. As it is judged that the wall thinning damages have generated due to local fluid behavior around the impingement baffle installed in downstream of the high pressure turbine extraction steam line to avoid colliding directly with the tubes, numerical analyses using PHOENICS code were performed for two models with original clogged impingement baffle and modified multi-hole impingement baffle. To identify the relation between wall thinning and fluid behavior, the local velocity components in x-, y-, and z-directions based on the numerical analysis for the model with the clogged impingement baffle were compared with the wall thickness data by ultrasonic test. From the comparison of the numerical analysis results and the wall thickness data, the local velocity component only in the y-direction, and not in the x- and z-direction, was analogous to the wall thinning configuration. From the result of the numerical analysis for the modified impingement baffle to mitigate the shell wall thinning, it was identified that the shell wall thinning may be controlled by the reduction of the local velocity in the y-direction.

To predict changes in biomechanical parameters such as intradiscal pressure, and the shock absorbing mechanism in the spinal motion segment under different impact duration/loading rates, a three dimensional L3/L4 motion segment finite element model was modified to incorporate the poroelastic properties of the motion segment. The results were analyzed under variable impact duration for normal and degenerated discs. For short impact duration and a given maximum compressive force, relatively high cancellous pore pressure was generated as compared with a case of long impact duration, although the amount of impulse was increased. In contrast relatively constant pore pressure was generated in the nucleus. Disc degeneration increased pore pressure in the disc and decreased pore pressure in the cancellous core, which is more vulnerable to compressive fracture compared with intact case.

When a high voltage COS fuse becomes a short circuit by the over current, the impulse noise over 150 dB(A) with the strong pulse jet is radiated from the COS fuse of an electric transformer. For the purpose of the impulse noise reduction, in this study, a reactive type silencer with perforated panels are considered. The transmission loss of the silencer are calculated by transfer matrix method. The effect of the porosity, the distance between panels, and the number of perforated panel on the sound transmission loss is investigated and discussed.

Passive control of the shock wave/turbulent boundary-layer interaction utilizing slotted plates and a porous plate over a cavity has been carried out. Effect of various slot configurations on the characteristics of the interaction has been observed. Pitot/wall surface pressure distributions and flow visualizations including Schlieren images, kerosene-lampblack tracings and interference fringe patterns over a thin oil-film have been obtained at the downstream of the shock interactions. For the streamwise-slot configuration, a local higher pitot pressure was noticed at the downstream of the interaction as compared with the case of no control, however, not much improvement in pitot pressure was observed for the spanwise-slot configuration.

최근 화학, 연소, 동력, 제철 등의 각종 플랜트에서 조업압력이 고압화되어 가고 있으며, 이에 수반하여 배관계를 통하는 고압가스 유동에 관한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 배관계를 통하는 고압가스의 유동에 있어서 유량의 적절한 제어, 유동에 의하여 야기되는 배관계의 소음·진동, 그리고 배기가스의 적절한 처리법 등은 공학적으로 매우 중요한 문제로 알려져 왔다. 일반적으로 정상운전을 하는 플랜트에서 고압 배기가스의 문제는 배기가스 Expander에 의하여 에너지를 회수하는 방법이 생각될 수 있으나, 실제 공업현장에서는 배기가스를 안전하고, 또 소음·진동을 발생시키지 않도록 적절하게 처리하는 것이 매우 중요한 기술적 과제로 남아 있다. 일반적으로 배기가스의 압력이 임계압력(critical pressure) 이상으로 되는 경우(실제 대부분의 플랜트에서 배기가스의 압력은 임계압력보다 매우 높다), 배관계 내부에서 충격파(shock-wave)가 발생하여 난류와동 혹은 난류경계층과 간섭하게 됨으로써 강력한 공기역학적 소음이나 진동을 발생시키게 된다. 이와 같은 소음·진동에 대한 대책으로는 현재 가스배출부에 감압밸브를 직렬로 설치하거나, 유로에 다공판(porous plates)들을 삽입하여 감압과정을 공간적으로 분산시킴으로써, 충격파가 발생하지 않도록 하는 방법을 주로 채택하고 있다. 그러나 이러한 방법을 적용하는 경우 배기가스 유동에 대한 유량의 제어기능이 저하되는 문제가 발생한다.

This study was conducted to investigate particle attrition characteristics in a gas desulfurization using zinc titanate sorbent in a 0.035 m i.d. by 1.34 m height gas fluidized bed reactor. Gas jetting from the distributor and bubbling in the gas fluidized bed were found to be the main causes of particle attrition. The experiment was carried out under a slow attrition rate condition to compare the performance of the batch reactor to that of a continuous reactor. The attrition index (AI) and corrected attrition index (CAI) were measured at various the gas velocity, temperature, pressure, and bed weight, in the gas fluidized bed, during the dexulfurization process. The AI (5) and CAI (5) decreased as the bed weight increased. Particle destruction occurred when the particles started to experience physical fatigue under specific impacts over several iterations. AI (5) and CAI (5) also increased as relative humidity, gas velocity and pressure increased, and as temperature decreased. Particle attrition was mainly affected by gas jetting from the distributor, and abrasion resulted in smaller particles than fragmentation did.
