한국원자력연구원의 파이로 실험 시설인 ACPF (ACP Facility)에는 공학규모 전해환원 반응기가 설치되어 공정 대용량화를 위한 연구가 수행되고 있다 본 연구에서는 전해환원 공정의 Scale-up을 위해 기존 반응기를 개선하여 전해환원 실험을 수행한 결과를 담고 있다. 장치의 대형화 빛 원격운전성 향상을 위해 기존의 전해환원 반응기의 상부 플랜지는 보다 간단하게 정리되었으며 염 이송에 의한 고온 조건 노출 시간을 줄임과 동시에 염 재사용을 목적으로 상부 플랜지는 이중으로 설계되었다. 따라서, 반응 종료후 전극이 설치된 상부 플랜지를 들어 올림으로서 반응기를 불활성 분위기로 유지하는 동시에 전해환원 금속전환체를 회수 할 수 있도록 반응기가 제작되었다. 또한, 새로운 반응기는 용융염 내의 강제 유동을 위해 아르곤 버블링이 가능하도록 설계 제작되었다. 새로 제작 설치된 전해환원 반응기를 사용하여 산화물 분말을 혼합하여 준비한 모의 사용후핵연료를 사용하여 전해환원 실험을 수행하였다. 그 결과, 산화물이 충진된 음극의 전영역에서 고루 96% 이상의 높은 금속전환율을 얻었으며 시간에 따라 선택된 FP들의 용융염 내 거동을 측정하였다. 실리더 형태의 음극에서 Cs, Sr 등의 원소들이 용융염으로 시간에 따라 용출되는 것을 확인하였으며 동시에 반응기 재질인 Fe 등도 일부 용융염에서 검출되었다. 아르곤 버블링에 의한 강제 유동은 전압 및 전류 거동에는 큰 영향을 미치지 못하였으나 염의 휘발량을 증가시켜 영조성올 변화시키는 것으로 측정되었다. ACPF의 전해환원 실험결과를 바탕으로 반응기를 상부 기체상과 하부 액체상으로 나누어 전산모사를 수행하였다 상부 기체상은 유입되는 아르곤 기체와 발생되는 산소기체의 흐름을 모사하는 결과를 얻었으며 온도 및 산소의 분압을 계산하였다. 하부 액체상에서는 전기장을 모사하여 전류 밀도 등을 3차원으로 모사하였다.

This paper explored the effects of separation control through the use of pulsating jet blowing on a two dimensional elliptical airfoil. To develop an active control technique of flow separation, a flow control actuator utilizing continuous/pulsed jet of pressurized air was designed and installed in a wind tunnel testing model of elliptic wing. PIV measurement and flow visualization of the wing near field were conducted to access the feasibility and effectiveness of the pulsed jet blowing on controlling the stall of the elliptical wing in subsonic flow. PIV experimental results show that separation control can provide significant reduction in turbulent flow wake and separation bubbles by jet blowing. The pulsating jet blowing is more effective on the separation control than continuous one. Increased jet frequency suppressed the turbulent separated flow wake effectively at even higher AOAs.

This paper presents a wideband Colpitts voltage controlled oscillator(VCO) with nanosecond startup time and a center frequency of 8.35 GHz for a new bubble-type motion detector that has a bubble-layer detection zone at the specific distance from itself. The VCO circuit consists of two parts; one is a negative resistance part with a HEMT device and Colpitts feedback structure and the other is a resonator part with a varactor diode and shorted shunt microstrip line. The shorted shunt microstrip line and series capacitor are utilized to compensate for the input reactance of the packaged HEMT that changes from capacitive values to inductive values at 8.1 GHz due to parasitic package inductance. By tuning the feedback capacitors which determine negative resistance values, this paper also investigates startup time improvement with the negative resistance variation and tuning bandwidth improvement with the reactance slope variation of the negative resistance part. The VCO measurement shows the tuning bandwidth of 2.3 GHz(28 %), the output power of 4.1~7.5 dBm and the startup time of less than 2 nsec.

The Single-channel seismic survey with the source of bubble pulser and drilling survey was carried out in 2008 and 2009 for the site survey of Daecheon-Wonsando area, which was a proposed area of Korea-China subsea tunnel. The goal of this study is to analyze the depth and characteristics of acoustic basement for the stability assessment and tunnel design in this proposed area through combining drilling data with this single-channel seismic data after detailed processing. For this purpose, among the data processing schemes which are usually applied to multi-channel seismic data, we applied the F-K filtering to eliminate the AC(alternating current) noise and the post-stack depth migration to produce depth section. As a result, we verified that the improved depth section could be obtained from single-channel seismic data, and the distribution and characteristics of basement could be analyzed in survey area through the combined analysis with drilling data. However, we could not interpret the detailed structures, fault and fracture zone, due to the quality of bubble pulser source and single-channel data. We expect that those detailed structures can be analyzed when higher resolution seismic data is provided. Therefore, we recommend some items for future seismic survey of subsea tunnel to obtain the high resolution seismic data.

Three Dimensional finite element method (FEM) was used to obtain the stress intensity factor for subsurface cracks and surface cracks existing in inhomogeneous materials. A geometry model, i.e. a solid containing one or several 3D cracks is defined. Several distributions of local node density are chosen, and then automatically superposed on one another over the geometry model. Nodes are generated by the bubble packing, and ten-noded quadratic tetrahedral solid elements are generated by the Delaunay triangulation techniques. To examine accuracy and efficiency of the present system, the stress intensity factor for a semi-elliptical surface crack in a plate subjected to uniform tension is calculated, and compared with Raju-Newman's solutions. Then the system is applied to analyze interaction effects of two dissimilar semi-elliptical cracks in a plate subjected to uniform tension.

In this paper, we had studied the possibility of application as Cu thin films from (hfac)Cu(VTMOS) which is very stable. Cu thin films had been studied as a function of deposition temperature. Substrates used in the experiment were PVD TiN on Si wafer. Deposition conditions were as follow : deposition temperature $50^{\circ}C$. Cu thin films were analyzed by AES, four point probe, XRD and SEM. All of deposited films were very pure and some favoring of <111> planes perpendicular to the substrate surface were observed. Cu thin films had two distinct growth rates at various deposition temperature. One is the surface reaction limited region below $200^{\circ}C$, and the other is the mass transport limited region above $200^{\circ}C$. The resistivity of deposited Cu thin films under the optimum deposition condition is $2.5mu\Omega.cm$ Thus, properties of deposited Cu thin films using (hfac)Cu(VTMOS) didn't show difference with Cu thin films from other precursors.

The boundary layer developing over the suction surface of a first-stage turbine blade for power generation has been investigated in this study. For three locations selected in the region where local thermal load changes dramatically, mean velocity, turbulence intensity, and one-dimensional energy spectrum are measured with a hot-wire anemometer. The results show that the suction-surface boundary layer suffers a transition from a laminar flow to a turbulent one. This transition is confirmed to be a "separated-flow transition", which usually occurs in the shear layer over a separation bubble. The local minimum thermal load on the suction surface is found at the initiation point of the transition, whereas the local maximum thermal load is observed at the location of very high near-wall turbulence intensity after the transition process. Frequency characteristics of turbulent kinetic energy before and after the transition are understood clearly from the energy spectrum data.

In medical ultrasonography, transit time and contrast enhancement patterns are considered as important parameters to analyze liver diseases. In many recent researches, time-intensity curves(TIC) have been used for calculating the transit time of the contrast agents. However, the intensity curve may include the variations which are caused by the micro-bubble effect of contrast agents. In this paper, we propose a complementary approach to diagnostic parameter extraction which utilizes a density information as well as the intensity data. The proposed technique improves the accuracy in extraction of the transit time and velocity of contrast agents for detection and characterization of focal liver lesions. Through the experiments using a set of clinical data, we show that the proposed methods can improve the reliability of the parametric image data.

In this paper, experimental investigations were carried out to remove NOx, SOx simultaneously from a simulated combustion flue gas [$NO(0.02%)-SO_2(0.08%)-CO_2-Air-N_2$] by using a pulse corona induced plasma chemical processing. Discharge domain of wire-cylindrical plasma reactor was separated from a gas flow duct to avoid unstable discharge by aerosol particle deposited on discharge electrode and grounded electrode. The NOx, SOx removal was experimentally investigated by a reaction induced to ammonium nitrate, ammonium sulfate using a low price of aqueous NaOH solution and a small quantity of ammonia. Volume percentage of aqueous NaOH solution used was 20% and $N_2$ flow rate was $2.5{\ell}/min$ for bubbling aqueous NaOH solution. Ammonia gas(l4.82%) balanced by argon was diluted by air and was introduced to a main simulated flue gas duct through $NH_3$ injection system which was in downstream of reactor. The $NH_3$ molecular ratio(MR) was determined based on [$NH_3$] and [$NO+SO_2$]. MR is 1.5. The NOx removal rates increased in the order of DC, AC and pulse, but SOx removal rates was not significantly effected by source of electricity. The NOx removal rate slightly decreased with increasing initial concentration. but SOx removal rate was not significantly affected by initial concentration. The NOx, SOx removal rates decreased with increasing gas flow rate.
