In this study, a small-scale siphon breaker experimental facility was designed to examine the validity of the Siphon Breaker Simulation Program (SBSP). To design the experimental facility, the simulation results of the C factor, Chisholm B coefficient, and Undershooting Height (UH) were obtained by SBSP. The major parts of the experimental facility were the upper tank, lower tank, downcomer, and Siphon Breaker Line (SBL). The area of the Upper tank was $0.09-m^2$ with a height of 0.65-m. The height of the downcomer was 1.6-m. Pressure transmitters and an electronic scale were used to obtain the experimental results. The experimental variables were the sizes of Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA) and SBL. The experimental results were analyzed by UH. The SBSP well predicted the UH with an error of 2.5%. Overall, it is possible to design siphon breakers with various scales using SBSP.

In numerical analysis for phase change material, numerical values of thermodynamic properties such as temperature, pressure, specific volume, enthalpy and entropy are required. But the steam table or diagram itself cannot be used without modelling. In this study applicability of neural networks in modelling superheated vapor region of water was examined by comparing with the quadratic spline. neural network consists of an input layer with 2 nodes, two hidden layers and an output layer with 3 nodes. Quadratic spline interpoation method was also applied for comparison. Neural network model revealed smaller percentage error to quadratic spline interpolation. From these results, it is confirmed that the neural networks could be powerful method in modelling the superheated range of the steam table.

In the present study, flow fields inside a photocatalysis air cleaning system have been investigated to obtain the data for optimum design of the system. For this investigation, we first predicted the pressure drop of a photocatalysis filter. Based on this calculation, we replaced the filter by the porous media and analysed the performance of the entire system. This porous media assumption could predict characteristics of the cylindrical photocatalysis filter within 1%. Two cases of the cylindrical filter were considered in the present calculations. The first case had an inside diameter of 6 mm, while the second case had an inside diameter of 20 mm. It was found that the first case of filter showed a pressure drop three times higher than that of the second case. In addition, the cylindrical filter equipped with a housing to hold a number of cylinders in a bundle was also analyzed. When the housing was present, the pressure drop increased. It was found that the pressure drop is 8 times higher than that of the case when the housing was not equipped.

A screw propeller is usually accepted as a propulsor of many kinds of ships. However, for high speed vessels, screw propeller has large cavitation area on the blades so propeller efficiency is decreased and erosion can be happened. To avoid this problem, supercavitating propeller and waterjet are generally used for high speed vessels. In this paper, we introduced the self-propulsion test procedure which has been developed for high speed vessels in Hyundai Maritime Research Institute. The model ship used in experiment represents catamaran about 5.3 m in length. To minimize the experimental errors, two impellers were driven by a single motor. Thrust was calculated by converting the measured pressure to flow rates at the nozzle exit. The test procedure is composed of resistance test, self propulsion test and analysis. In order to measure the pressure, pressure tabs were installed around the nozzle exit and connected to the pressure sensor by vinyl tube.

Heat transfer between substrate and substrate-heater in low vacuum was investigated. The convection related with gas flow and pressure, the heat conduction considering surface roughness and contact pressure, and the heat loss by radiation depending on the surface emissivity were considered. The coefficient of heat conduction $h_c$ in the Fourier's law were determined experimentally from the temperature difference between the substrate and the substrate-heater in the range of substrate-heater temperature $100\;-\;500^{\circ}C$, in the pressures of 300 mTorr - 1 Torr. The temperature difference was then calculated in the reverse way for the purpose of verification, using the heat flow and the experimentally determined coefficients. The verified temperature differences were thus obtained within 0.33 % error.

Because heat exchanger consists of many circular tubes, the analysis of local heat transfer and pressure drop at the surrounding of circular tubes, performance and calculation of size, economics play important roles in design. In this study, This study conducted experiment and analysis in order to observe convective heat transfer coefficient LMTD (logarithm mean temperature difference) and pressure losses according to water temperature and air flow rate using a cross flow heat exchanger of staggered arrangement. This heat exchanger was composed of staggered arrangement for five rows and seven columns of tube banks, and the condition of experiment and analysis are $40{\sim}65^{\circ}C$ of water temperature and $5.0{\sim}12.3m^3/s$ of air flow rate. As a result of it, since air density decreases as water temperature and flow rate increases, Reynolds number decreases with characteristics of low flow velocity but mean heat transfer coefficient increases with air flow rate increase, heat transfer performance has been improved and pressure losses decreased. And since heat transfer rate shows about 8~12% and pressure drop around 0.01~7.5% error as the analysis result, the feasibility of this study could be evaluated.

In the nuclear industry, wall thinning defect of straight pipe occur the enormous loss in life evaluation and safety evaluation. To use non-destructive technique, we measure deformation, vibration, defect evaluation. But, this techniques are a weak that is the measurement of the wide area is difficult and the time is caught long. In the secondary side of nuclear power plants mostly used steel pipe, artificiality wall thinning defect make in the side and different thickness make to the each other, wall thinning defect part of deformation measure by using shearography. In addition, optical measurement through deformation, vibration, defect evaluation evaluate pipe and thickness defects of pressure vessel is to evaluate quantitatively. By shearography interferometry to measure the pipe's internal wall thinning defect and the variation of pressure use the proposed technique, the quantitative defect is to evaluate the thickness of the surplus. The amount of deformation use thickness of surplus prediction of the actual thickness defect and approximately 7 percent error by ensure reliability. According to pressure the amount of deformation and the thickness of the surplus through DB construction, nuclear power plant pipe use wall thinning part soundness evaluation. In this study, pressure vessel of thickness defect measure proposed nuclear pipe of wall thinning defect prediction and integrity assessment technology development. As a basic research defected theory and experiment, pressure vessel of advanced stability and soundness and maintainability is expected to contribute foundation establishment.

An artificial rainfall system is used widely as a research tool for generating model experiment data. Artificial rainfall devices have been used in many studies, but studies of the rainfall distribution are not considered as important issues. To simulate various rainfall characteristics, it should be possible to simulate from low to high intensity, and the homogeneity of the rainfall distribution should be ensured. In this study, the maximum rainfall intensity was set to 130mm/hr and controlled by 10mm/hr. In addition, the aim was to secure a uniform coefficient value of 80% or more. To this end, rainfall tests were performed according to the nozzle type, diameter, position, and pump pressure. The rainfall test showed that the circular nozzle was suitable, and the nozzle size was 1.9mm and 1.4mm. The optimal pump pressure was found to be 3~6kg/㎠. The rainfall intensity tended to increase linearly with increasing pump pressure. Based on the rainfall test results, a rainfall control manual was produced with variables, such as pump pressure, nozzle type, and number of nozzles. As a result of rainfall verification, rainfall intensity showed a 3.1% error with a uniformity coefficient of 86%.

A new developing reactor isn't fixed the structure and the materials of reactor components. To perform the shielding analysis for a reactor vessel by $R-\theta$ geometry, it takes much effort and time to modeling of source term according to the change of reactor components every time. Therefore, we developed the shielding analysis system for the reactor vessel by $R-{\theta}$ geometry, which wasn't affected by the reactor core geometry. By using the developed shielding analysis system, we performed the shielding analysis for the reactor vessel of an integral reactor which has the hexagonal geometry of nuclear fuel assemblies in reactor core. We compared the results obtained from the developed system with those obtained from MCNP analysis. Because the results of developed shielding analysis system were more conservative than those of MCNP calculation, it is useful for shielding analysis. As we had developed the new shielding analysis system for a reactor vessel by $R-{\theta}$ geometry, we reduced error of model for reactor core which was formerly designed by hand and saved the time and the effort to design source term model of reactor core.

원자력발전소의 원자로냉각재 압력경계의 건전성과 안정성을 확보하기 위하여 법적 요구조건을 설정함에 있어 파괴역학이 어떻게 적용되었는 가를 설명하였다. 이를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1) 압력경계에 사용되는 재료의 $RT_{NDT}$를 정의하였다. 이는 무연성천이온도와 같은 개 념의 것으로, 앞으로 재료의 파괴인성은 이 $RT_{NDT}$에 대한 상대온도의 함수로 주어진다. 2)비연성파괴를 방지하기 위한 설계조건으로서 선형탄성 파괴역학에 근거한 조건식을 인용하였다. 여기서 조건식이란 능력확대계수의 합계가 어떠한 조건에서도 이러한 조건식을 만족한다는 것을 해석적으로 확인하고 규제당국의 승인을 받아야 한다. 3) 가동중검사에 발견된 결함으로 합격수준을 초과하는 것은 파괴역학적으로 해석하여 구조적 으로 안전하다는 것은 파괴역학적으로 해석하여 구조적으로 안전하다는 것을 입증하여야 한다. 이때 결함은 원자로의 가동과 더불어 성장하므로 수명기간중 피로파괴에 이를 것인지의 여부도 평가하여야 한다. 이때의 대조균열성장률은 Paris의 power law에 따른다. 4) 고속중성자 (E>1. 0MeV)에 의한 조사취화를 감시하기 위하여 감시시험계획을 사전에 수립 하고 이에 따라 감시시험을 수행하여 조사에 수립하고 이에 따라 감시시험을 수행하여 조사에 의한 원자로용기 재료의 파괴인성의 저하를 평가하여 이를 고려한 충분한 안전여유를 갖는 운 전조건 즉, 압력-온도 한계곡선을 산출하여야 한다. 이때의 취화 정도는 DELTA. $RT_{NDT}$ 와 Upper Shelf Energy의 감소로 나타낸다. 또한, 압력-온도 한계곡선은 선형관성 파괴역학에 입각한 조건식을 이용하여 해당 온도에서의 압력을 산출한다.
