핵 융합로는 고밀도, 고에너지 플라즈마에 지속적으로 노출되며 고열부하 및 중성자, 플라즈마 이온에 의한 물성변화에 대한 다양한 핵 융합로 구축 재질의 실험데이터가 요구된다. 특히 핵 융합 반응의 핵심연료인 삼중수소의 재질별 누설거동 특성은 삼중수소의 블랑켓에서의 증식율, 열 교환기 및 공급과 회수과정에서의 손실율, 저장, 취급 및 차폐 등의 계산에 활용되므로 핵 융합로의 안전성과 경제성 확보 측면에서 매우 중요하다. 따라서 핵 융합로 구축 재질 선정시 삼중수소의 누설거동 특성은 반드시 고려되어야 한다. 본 연구는 삼중수소 누설거동 특성 해석을 위한 기초실험으로, 수소동위원소를 사용하는 누설거동실험 장치를 설계 제작하여 누설 거동실험을 수행하였다. 누설 가스로는 수소를 사용하였고, 시편은 스테인레스 스틸(SUS-304)을 사용하였으며, 시편의 가열온도는 500, 600, 700, $800^{\circ}C$에서 각각 수소누설거동 실험을 실시하였다. 수소에 대한 SUS-304 재질의 permeability, diffusivity, solubility에 대한 실험 결과를 발표하고자 한다.

The dynamic release behavior of Cs from high burn-up spent PWR fuel was experimentally performed under the conditions of a thermal treatment process such as voloxidation and sintering conditions. In voloxidation process, influence of the oxidation and reduction atmosphere on the Cs release characteristic using fragment type of spent fuel heated up to $1,500^{\circ}C$ was compared. In sintering process, temperature history effect on Cs release behavior was evaluated using green pellet under 4% $H_2/Ar$ environment. Temperature range for complete Cs release from spent fuel fragment under voloxidation condition was about $800^{\circ}C{\sim}1,200^{\circ}C$, but that of green pellet under the reduction atmosphere was $1,100^{\circ}C{\sim}1,400^{\circ}C$. Key parameters on Cs release behavior from spent fuel was powder formation as well as the diffusion rate of Cs compound to grain boundary and fuel surface.

Stainless steel was applied as bipolar plate (BP) of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) due to high mechanical strength, electrical conductivity, and good machinability. However, stainless steel was corroded and increased contact resistance resulting PEMFC performance decrease. Although the corrosion resistance could be improved by surface treatment such as noble metal coating, there is a disadvantage of cost increase. The stainless steel corrosion behavior and passive layer influence on PEMFC performance should be studied to improve durability and economics of metal bipolar plate. In this study, SUS316L bipolar plate of 25 cm² active area was manufactured, and experiments were conducted for corrosion behavior at an anode and cathode. The influence of SUS316L BP corrosion on fuel cell performance was measured using the polarization curve, impedance, and contact resistance. The metal ion concentration in drained water was analyzed during fuel cell operation with SUS316L BP. It was confirmed that the corrosion occurs more severely at the anode than at the cathode for SUS316L BP. The contact resistance was increased due to the passivation of SUS316L during fuel cell operation, and metal ions continuously dissolved even after the passive layer formation.

The single jet of decane/methylcyclohexane mixed fuel that is surrogate for kerosene was injected into supercritical environment and visualized using shadowgraph technique. The injection pressure drop of the fuel jet of T_r = 0.484 was kept constant at 0.5 MPa and the experiment was conducted above the critical point of the mixed fuel, and the reduced temperatures of the chamber was changed from 1.00 to 1.23, and the reduced pressures was 1.00 and 1.38. As an index for reducing the density of jets sprayed into the supercritical environment, the brightness intensity of the post-processed jet image was observed with the internal temperature and pressure of the chamber. It was confirmed that the decrease in the brightness intensity of the jet when the temperature inside the chamber increased, and when the pressure inside the chamber was higher at the same temperature, the decrease in the brightness intensity of the jet was delayed. When the pressure inside the chamber is high, it is thought that the change in brightness intensity is delayed due to the increase in the pseudo-critical temperature of the fuel and the increase in the temperature required to reduce the density of the fuel jet.

This paper is the second of 3 companion papers which investigate axial stratification process. In-cylinder fuel behavior has been investigated in the port injected Sl engine by visualizing for the purpose of understanding stratification. Planar laser light sheet from an Nd:YAG laser has been illuminated through the transparent quartz cylinder of the single cylinder optical engine and the Mie scattered light has been captured through the quartz window in the piston head with an ICCD camera. Fuel has been replaced with an air-ethanol mixture to utilize atomized fuel spray fur the visualization purposes. This results have been compared with steady flow concentration measurement. For low/medium swirl port, the early injection makes such a fuel distribution state that is upper-rich, middle-lean and lower-rich along the combustion chamber and cylinder by tumbling motion. On the other hand, the late injection induces upper-rich, middle-lean and lower-rich state due to the short fuel penetration.

This paper is the third of 3 companion papers which investigate axial stratification process. In-cylinder fuel behavior has been investigated in the port injected SI engine by visualizing for the purpose of understanding stratification. Planar laser light sheet from an Nd:YAG laser has been illuminated through the transparent quartz cylinder of the single cylinder optical engine and the Mie scattered light has been captured through the quartz window in the piston head with an ICCD camera. Fuel has been replaced with an air-ethanol mixture to utilize atomized fuel spray for the visualization purposes. This results have been compared with steady flow concentration measurement. In high swirl port, the most fuel remains at combustion chamber and upper cylinder region without being affected by injection timing. The macro-distributed state is not changed but the difference of the amount of fuel around the spark plug varies according to injection timing, which determines LML.

Dynamic simulation program for a smart UAV turbojet engine was developed. The transient simulation program utilized the CMP(Constant Mass flow) method and Euler integration method for integration of excess torque. The transient performance analysis was carried out by increasing from the idle to the maximum rotational speed of the gas generator. To observe engine dynamic behavior, fuel flow was monitored through a step and a ramp increase. When the fuel was increased as a step function the overshoot of the turbine inlet temperature exceeded the limit temperature.

To predict the fuel clad temperature during the reflooding phase of a LOCA, one may need a knowledge of reflood heat tranfer mechanism in a rod bundle. For this purpose reflooding experiments have been carried out with an electrically heated 3*3 rod bundle. Using the method for the determination of local heat transfer coefficient from the measured wall temperature the parametric effects of coolant flow rate, initial wall temperature, coolant subcooling and heat generation rate on the propagation of rewetting front were investigated. Prediction of the wall temperature histories for these experiments was discussed using REFLUX code with modification of the rewetting temperature correlation. Through this modification, better agreement between experiment and prediction was obtained.

고체 산화물 연료전지(SOFC)는 크게 음극(anode), 양극(cathode), 전해질(electrolyte)로 구성되 있으며 연결자를 통해 직렬 또는 병렬로 연결된 형태로 발전장치 등에 활용되고 있다. 이중 연료의 산화반응을 담당하고 있는 연료전지의 음극으로 지금까지 Cobalt, Platinum, Palladium 등의 전이금속 또는 귀금속들이 사용되었지만 현재는 Nickel 또는 Nickel을 함유한 물질들 특히, Ni-YSZ 복합체가 주로 사용되고 있다. Ni-YSZ 복합체는 가격과 성능 등 여러가지 면에서 SOFC의 음극으로 사용하기에 가장 적합한 물질인데 특히 전지의 지지체 역할과 동시에 전극으로서의 역할도 병행해야하는 음극 지지형 SOFC의 경우 Ni-YSZ 복합체의 효용성을 더욱 커지게 된다. 본 연구에서는 SOFC의 음극물질로 가장 널리 쓰이고 있는 Ni-YSZ 복합체를 core shell 형태로 만들어 전도 path를 효율적으로 하고 그 특성을 최적화하기 위한 미세구조 및 소결 거동, 전기적 특성을 평가하였다.

Planar laser light sheet from an Nd:YAG laser has been illuminated through the transparent quartz cylinder of the single cylinder optical engine and the Mie scattered light has been replaced with an air-ethanol mixture to utilize atomized fuel spray for the visualization purposes. This results have been compared with steady flow concentration measurement. For no swirl port, the axial penetration depends on the fuel injection timing. The fuel tends to remain in the upper region of the cylinder far from the spark plug and the distribution is not affected by the injection timing except 90 ATDC.
