This study concerns with comparing low-dimensional reactor kinetics methods with a three-dimensional kinetics method to be used for safety analysis of light water reactors in order to suggest means of preparing input parameters required for low-dimensional methods. For this purpose a one-dimensional finite difference two-group diffusion theory code ODTRAN and a third-order Hermit polynomial-based point kinetics code POTRAN are developed and used to obtain low-dimensional solutions to the LRA-BWR kinetics benchmark problem. The results are compared with a three-dimensional modified Borresen's coarse-mesh solution of the kinetics problem by CMSNACK code. Through this comparison some simple but practical means of preparing input parameters of low-dimensional kinetics analysis methods are suggested.

The concentration of residual chlorine should be kept at over 0.1 mg/L in the circular water tank used in a water purification system. Generally, the concentration of residual chlorine depends on the structure and the volume of water tank, and also the water flow rate. To secure the diffusion time is important to the concentration of residual chlorine. For that reason, the baffles are installed in the circular water tank. In the present study, the variations of water and chlorine concentration were obtained with time using the numerical analysis. And also, the streamlines were shown according to the number of baffles. As a results, the vortex flow appeared between baffles, and the diffusion time of chlorine increased with the more number of baffles.

Developed is a chloride penetration analysis program in which changes of environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity and external chloride concentration, and the diffusion, convection and binding of chlorides are considered. In order to consider the changes of environmental conditions, analyses for temperature and moisture distribution are implemented simultaneously, and variation of diffusion coefficients due to temperature, humidity and age is also considered. By comparing the calculated total chloride contents with some experimental data, it has been confirmed that the proposed analysis program can trace measured chloride distribution well. Also, through some example analyses, the mechanism of accumulation of chlorides at near surface and acceleration of corrosion of steel reinforcement in case that the moisture distribution changes according to repeated drying and wetting cycles have been verified.

Steel reinforced concrete(SRC) columns, which have been widely employed in high-rise buildings, exhibit a time-dependent behavior because of creep and shrinkage of concrete. This long-term behavior may cause a serious serviceability problem in structural systems, so it is very important to predict the deformation due to creep and shrinkage of concrete. However, it was found from the previous experimental studies that the long-term deformation of SRC columns was quite dissimilar from that of RC columns. A new method is required to quantitatively predict the long-term deformation of SRC columns. In this study, the causes of the discrepancy between the behaviors of RC and SRC columns are investigated and discussed. SRC columns exhibit a time-dependent relative humidity distribution in a cross section differently from that of reinforced concrete(RC) columns owing to the presence of a inner steel plate, which interferes with the moisture diffusion of concrete. This relative humidity distribution may reduce the drying shrinkage and the drying creep in comparison with RC columns. Therefore it is suggested that the differential moisture distribution should be taken into account in order to reasonably predict column shortening of SRC columns.

A novel methodology on the calculations of osmotic pressure and gradient diffusion coefficient has been provided ill the present study, by applying a succinct numerical analysis on the experimental results. Although both the osmotic pressure and the gradient diffusion coefficient represent a fundamental characteristic in related membrane filtrations such as microfiltration and ultrafiltration, neither theoretical analysis nor experiments can readily determine them. The osmotic pressure of colloidal suspension has been successfully determined from a relationship between the data of the time-dependent permeate flux, their numerical accumulations, and their numerical derivatives. It is obvious that the osmotic pressure is gradually increased, as the particle concentration increases. The thermodynamic coefficient was calculated from the numerical differentiation of the correlation equation of osmotic pressure, and the hydrodynamic coefficient was evaluated from the previously developed relation for an ordered system. Finally, the estimated gradient diffusion coefficient, which entirely depends on the particle concentration, was compared to the previous results obtained from the statistical mechanical simulations.
