In general, conventional criticality analysis for spent fuel transport/storage systems have been performed based on the assumption of fresh fuel concerning the potential uncertainties from number density calculations of actinide nuclides and fission products in spent fuel. However, these evaluation methods cause financial losses due to an excessive criticality margin. In order to overcome this disadvantage, many studies have recently been conducted to design and commercialize a transportation and storage cask applied to the Burnup Credit (BUC). This study conducted an assessment to ensure criticality safety for reactor operating parameters, axial burn-up profiles and misload accident conditions, which are the factors that are likely to affect criticality safety when the BUC is applied to the dual-purpose cask under development at the KOrea RADioactive waste agency (KORAD). As a result, it was found that criticality resulting from specific power, changed substantially and relied on conditions of low enrichment and high burn-up. Considering the end effect in the case of high burn-up produced a positive-definite result. In particular, the increment of maximum effective multiplication factors due to misloading was 0.18467, confirming that misload is a factor that must be taken into account when applying the BUC. The results of this study may therefore be utilized as references in developing technologies to apply the BUC to domestic models and operational procedures or preventing any misload accidents during the process of spent fuel loading.

Acoustic design parameters of a half-wave resonator are studied experimentally for acoustic stability in a model chamber. According to the standard acoustic-test procedures, acoustic-pressure signals are measured. Quantitative acoustic properties of damping factor and sound absorption coefficient are evaluated and thereby, the acoustic-damping capacity of the resonator is examined. The diameter and the number of a half-wave resonator, its distribution, and the diameter of an enclosure are selected as the design parameters for optimal tuning of the resonator. Aroustic-damping capacity of the resonator increases with its diameter. When the open-area ratio of the resonator exceeds the optimum value, over-damping appears, leading to the decrease in the peak absorption coefficient and the broadening of absorption bandwidth. As the resonator diameter increases, optimum open-area ratio decreases.

액체 추진제 로켓 엔진의 연소 불안정은 주요 설계인자이며 로켓 엔진 개발의 주된 장애요인이다, 하지만 연소 불안정은 구동 메커니즘 및 연소와 관련된 물리 현상에 대한 연구 부족으로 주로 경험적 방법 흑은 시행착오를 거쳐 해결해 왔다. 이론적 방법은 수식화 과정과 그 적용에 있어 불합리한 가정과 근사화 과정을 사용하기 때문에 치명적인 한계를 갖는다. 그리고 수치적 방법은 연소 불안정 관련 현상의 세부 모델링 과정에 문제가 있다.(중략)

Effective treatment and energy conversion technologies are necessary due to the ban of the dumping of organic waste including the sewage sludge. In this study, the kinetics of pyrolysis and combustion were derived in a TGA and thermobalance reactor, which is essential for thermal conversion of sewage sludge to energy. Three steps are shown for the pyrolysis in TGA and the different pre-exponential factors and activation energies are derived depending on the temperature range. Three models of gassolid reaction were applied to the reaction kinetics analysis for the combustion of sewage sludge char and shrinking core model was an appropriated model. Apparent activation energy and pre-exponential factor were evaluated and the effect of oxygen partial pressure was examined.

In this study, a combined hybrid rocket system is newly introduced which has characteristics of both gas generators and afterburner type hybrid rockets. In particular, a combined gas generator utilizing solid fuel and liquid/gas oxidizer was designed as a primary combustor of the system. Combustion tests were carried out with various equivalence ratio affected by parameters such as fuel length, oxidizer flow rate, fuel port diameter and fuel type. In general, fuel-rich gas generator produces low combustion gas temperature to meet the temperature requirement and the target temperature was transiently set less than 1600 K. Since it was found that controlling parameters showed limited effects on the change of equivalence ratio, mixture of $O_2$ and $N_2$ as an oxidizer was additionally introduced. As a result, a combined gas generator successfully produced combustion gas temperature of less than 1600 K Future studies will carry out more combustion tests to attain fuel-rich combustion gas temperature less than 1200 K, which was a temperature requirement of a gas generator system in the previous studies.

To optimize and limit the axial length of baffle in KSR-III engine, stability rating tests using pulse gun as one of artificial disturbance devices have been done. Decay time and other parameters for the evaluation of stabilization ability of engine to external perturbation have been analyzed to quantify stabilization capacity of engine, in other words, dynamic stability margin. If baffle does not cover flame zone enough which can be considered as collision region of injector, it wasn't be able to suppress external perturbation sufficiently. The limit of combustion stability margin of engine is assumed to be 50 mm length baffle.
