The clogging of the flow area at the tube support plates(TSPs), especially at the upper TSPs results in the water level oscillation of a steam generator during normal operation. A reduction of the TSP flow area causes to increase in pressure drop within the two-phase flow zone, which destabilizes the boiling flow through the tube bundle. This phenomenon was occasionally observed at a few domestic and foreign nuclear power plants. One of the methods for defining the flow area clogging is visual inspection, which is the most effective inspection method. The results of the visual inspection for TSPs' flow area are clogging images on TSPs' quartrefoil lobes. These images are complexly distorted due to lens aberration and external factors like the distance to a subject and angle etc. In this work, we developed the analysis algorithm for clogging image of the TSP flow area of steam generators. For this purpose, we designed an image verification device applicable to the camera employed in the field for visual inspection and then, we demonstrated the validity of image analysis algorithm by using this device and commercial autoCAD program.

An experimental study on heat transfer characteristics near the critical pressure has been performed with an internally-heated vertical annular channel cooled by R-134a fluid. Two series of tests have been completed: (a) steady-state critical heat flux (CHF) and (b) heat transfer tests for pressure reduction transients through the critical pressure. In the present experimental range, the steady-state CHF decreases with the increase of the system pressure For a fixed inlet mass flux and subcooling, the CHF falls sharply at about 3.8 MPa and shows a trend toward converging to zero as the pressure approaches the critical point of 4.059 MPa. The CHF phenomenon near the critical pressure does not lead to an abrupt temperature rise of the heated wall because the CHF occurred at remarkably low power levels. In the pressure reduction transient experiments, as soon as the pressure passed through the critical pressure, the wall temperatures rise rapidly up to a very high value due to the occurrence of the departure from nucleate boiling. The wall temperature reaches a maximum at the saturation point of the outlet temperature, then tends to decrease gradually.

In the pressure reduction transients, as soon as the pressure passes below the critical pressure from the supercritical pressure, the wall temperatures rise rapidly up to very high values due to the departure from nucleate boiling. The wall temperature reaches a maximum at the saturation point of the outlet temperature, and then tends to decrease gradually.

기사용 핵연료 저장조에 대한 열수력 해석과 관련된 인자들이 열수력 해석에 미치는 영향에 대한 분석을 수행하였다. 기사용 핵연료에서 발생하는 붕괴열(decay heat)을 제거하기 위해 일어나는 자연 순환(natural circulation)현상을 모사하기 위해 단순화된 유동망(simplified flow network)해석 모델을 사용하였다. 기사용 핵연료 저장조의 각 셀에 저장되는 연료 집합체에서 발생하는 붕괴열을 제거하기 위해 흐르는 유량의 압력 손실량이 자연순환을 일으키는 밀도차이에 의해 생성되는 구동력(driving force)과 평형을 이루는 관계를 이용하여 지배 방정식을 유도하였다. 그러나 유량, 저항 계수, 붕괴열, 밀도 등의 변수들이 서로 종속 관계를 갖기 때문에 반복 계산을 통해 해를 얻게 된다. 본 해석을 적용한 영광 3, 4호기의 경우, 12채널을 고려하였고 사용되는 입력 (저항 계수, 붕괴열)을 보수적으로 결정하였다. 본 연구를 통해 영광 3, 4호기 기사용 핵연료 저장조의 열수력 특성을 구하였다. 또한 유동로를 따라 형성되는 유동 저항중에 기하학적 요인에 의한 압력 손실은, 기사용 핵연료 저장조의 경우 압력 용기내의 유동과 달리 천이 영역(transition region)이 존재하게 되므로 Reynolds수에 민감한 것을 알 수 있다. 간극 유동은 조밀화된 연료 집합체 (consolidated fuel assembly)가 아닌 경우 무시할 수 있었다.

The delamination along the annual ring on the cross-section of laminae and the bonding strength according to the tangential angle between laminae were evaluated for the production of 3-ply cross-laminated timber (CLT) using domestic larch. Since there is no standard for CLT in Korea, the production and test of specimens for bonding strength followed the standard procedure of "Structural glued laminated timber" (KS F 3021). The standard specifies to exclude any measurement from the cracks of timbers resulted from drying or knots during delamination test of the glued laminated timbers. However, the failure of cross-sectional tissues along the annual rings was observed near the glue-line of all specimens during the delamination test. Because this phenomenon can generate defects in the CLT that may be exposed to various temperatures and relative humidities after the actual construction, the delamination percentage was measured by including this wood failure. As a result, the delamination percentage of the CLT which had been combined in such a way that the annual rings of outer lamina were directed inward was the lowest, which was around 13%, regardless of the annual ring direction of the middle lamina. On the other hand, the delamination percentage of the CLT which had been combined in such a way that the annual rings of outer lamina were directed outward was the highest, which was around 26%. Furthermore, end-split occurred in the outer lamina during the drying process of the boiling delamination test, which affected the delamination percentage. Therefore, the soaking delamination test was found to be more appropriate for evaluating the delamination strength of CLT. The block shear strength of larch CLT was $3.9{\pm}0.9$ MPa on average, which was 46% lower than the block shear strength requirement (7.1 MPa) of the standard, but satisfied the criteria of the block shear strength (3.5 MPa) of the European Standard (prEN 16351: 2013).

Jet impinging device is designed for decay heat removal on horizontal fuel rods in a low temperature heating reactor. An experimental system with a fuel rod simulator is established and experiments are performed to evaluate water film covering capacity, within 0.0287-0.0444 kg/ms mass flow rate, 0-164.1 kW/m² heating flux and 13.8-91.4℃ feeding water temperature. An effective method to obtain the film coverage rate by infrared equipment is proposed. Water film flowing patterns are recoded and the film coverage rates at different circumference angles are measured. It is found the film coverage rate decreases with heating flux during single-phase convection, while increases after onset of nucleate boiling. Besides, film coverage rate is found affected by Marangoni effect and film accelerating effect, and surface wetting is significantly facilitated by bubble behavior. Based on the observed phenomenon and physical mechanism, dry-out depth and initial dry-out rate are proposed to evaluate film covering potential on a heating surface. A model to predict film coverage rate is proposed based on the data. The findings would have reliable guide and important implications for further evaluation and design of decay heat removal system of new reactors, and could be helpful for passive containment cooling research.

Sweating is natural phenomenon necessary for the regulation of an individual's body-temperature. The secretion of sweat is mediated by a portion of our vegetative nervous system(the sympathetic nervous system). In some people, this system is working at a very high activity level, far higher than needed to keep a constant temperature. This condition is referred to as hyperhidrosis. Especially excessive sweating of the hands and the feet is palmoplantar hyperhidrosis or volar hyperhidrosis. This is by far the most distressing condition. It was founded that the first important cause of this was emotional factor. The hands are much more exposed in social and prefessional activities than any other part of our body. Many individuals with palmoplantar hyperhidrosis are limited in their choice of proffession, because unable to manipulate materials sensitive to humidity or reluctant to shake hands; some patients arrive to the point to avoid social contact. The occidental medical treatments for palmoplantar hyperhidrosis include application of topical agents(chemical antiperspirants such as aluminum chloride), iontophoresis(treatment with electrical current), or surgery(thoracic sympathectomy). It was reported that the most effective treatment was thoracic sympathectomy. So this study was started to find the easy and effective oriental medical treatments against the occidental medical treatments through the oriental medical literature. The occidental medical idea for palmoplantar hyperhidrosis is only limited in neurologic system, so surgery is the best treatment. But the oriental medical idea for palmoplantar hyperhidrosis is much wider, so the oriental medical causes and treatments for this are able to be veriety. And the oriental medical teatment is freely in treating the patients of palmoplantar hyperhidrosis, because entire idea including pulse, facial color, mental condition, constitution and other symptom exists in the oriental medicine. The results of a bibliographic study of causes and treatments for palmoplantar are as follows; 1. The main causes of pa1moplantar hyperhidrosis are heat in the stomach, damp-heat in the spleen and the stomach, insufficiency of the spleen-qi and the stomach-qi, deficiency of the spleen-yin and the stomach-yin, and the others are the stomach-cold syndrome, stasis of blood and dyspepsia in the stomach, disorder of the liver-qi, deficiency of the heart-yin and the kidney-yin, deficiency of the heart-yang and the kidney-yang, stagnated heat in the liver and the spleen, the lung channel-heat etc. 2. The main methods of medical treatments for palmoplantar hyperhidrosis are clearing out the stomach-heat, eliminating dampness and heat in the spleen and the stomach, invigorating the spleen-qi and the stomach-qi, reinforcing the spleen-yin and the stomach-yin, warming the stomach, relaxing the liver and alleviating of mental depression and tonifying the heart and the kidney etc. 3. The main prescriptions of palmoplantar hyperhidrosis are Taesihotang, Palmultang-kakam, Samyeongbaechusan, Chongbisan, Sasammaekmundongtang, the others are Leejungtang, Hwangkikonjungtang, Seungkitang, Boyumtang, Baekhotang, Chongsimyonjayum, Moyrosan, etc. 4. Local medicine for external use are liquid after boiling alum in water for about 1 or 2 hours, liquid after boiling alum and pueraria root in water and liquid after boiling stragalus root, pueraria root, ledebouriella root and schizonepeta in water, etc. 5. The methods of acupuncture therapy include invigorating Bokyru, Yumkuk and purgating Hapkouk, or invigorating Bokyru, Kihae and purgating Hapkouk, or steadying Hapkouk, Nokung.

강원도 삼척의 특산물인 머루의 활용도를 높이고 아울러 지역을 대표하는 향토식품을 개발하기 위한 일환으로, 본 연구에서는 머루즙을 첨가한 빵의 개발이 가능한지를 검토하였다. 이에 따라, 제조방법이 다른 두 종류의 머루즙(WGJ 머루즙과 WGS 머루즙)을 농도(머루즙 무첨가빵의 수분함량의 5, 10, 15, 20%)를 달리하여 첨가하여 빵을 제조한 후, 이화학적 및 관능적 특성을 머루즙 무첨가 빵과 비교함으로써, 머루의 기능성이 빵의 물성에 부정적 영향 없이 부가될 수 있는지를 평가하였다. 실험에 사용된 2종류의 머루즙은 머루를 고압 하에서 끓인 후 착즙한 머루 100%인 착즙액(wild grape juice, WGJ 머루즙)과 머루와 설탕을 동량으로 하고 100여 일 동안 저장함으로써 삼투압의 원리로 추출한 wild grape sugar mixture (WGS) 머루즙이었다. 본 연구의 결과는 크게 다음과 같이 요약할 수 있다. $\bullet$ WGJ 머루즙 vs. WGS 머루즙. WGJ 머루즙은 WGS 머루즙에 비해 수분, 조단백질, 조회분, 산도가 유의적으로 더 높았으며(p<0.05), 당도와 pH는 유의적으로 더 낮아(p<0.001), 제조방법이 다른 두 종류의 머루즙이 화학적 조성에 있어 차이가 있음을 확인하였다. $\bullet$ 머루즙 무첨가군 vs. 첨가군. 머루즙이 첨가된 반죽은 머루즙 농도에 비례하여 색은 짙어지고 pH는 감소하였다. 이는, 반죽의 색과 pH에 영향을 주는 머루즙 내의 안토시안과 유기산(주석산)에서 기인한 결과로 볼 수 있다. 머루즙 첨가는 빵 반죽의 경도(hardness), 점착성(gumminess), 저작성(chewiness)을 감소시켰고, 복원성(resilience)과 응집성(cohesivenss)은 증가시키는 결과를 보임으로써, 머루즙 첨가에 의해 빵 반죽의 내부적 결합력은 증가되고, 동시에 부드럽고 복원력이 개선된 반죽이 만들어졌음을 시사하였다. 그러나, 반죽의 이러한 물성은 제빵이 완료된 단계까지는 유지되지 않았다. 즉, 머루즙 첨가는 빵의 경도, 점착성, 저작성을 다소 증가시키는 경향을 나타내었으며, 이는 첫째, 제빵 이후 측정된 빵의 굽기 손실이 머루즙 첨가빵이 무첨가빵에 비해 상대적으로 높았다는 사실과 관련 있을 것으로 보인다. 또한 둘째, 머루즙 첨가에 의해 낮아진 pH가 반죽 단계에서는 발효속도 및 가스발생량에 영향을 주어 반죽의 텍스쳐를 개선시켰으나, 빵을 굽는 단계에서는 오히려 전분의 호화 및 팽윤을 일부 방해함으로써 빵의 경도를 증가시킨 것으로 일부 해석될 수 있다. 그러나, 제빵 상태에서 관찰된 이러한 경향은 무첨가빵과 비교할 때 유의적인 수준은 아니었으며, 머루즙 첨가는 오히려 빵의 탄력성(springiness)을 개선시킨 것으로 평가되었다. $\bullet$ WGJ 첨가군 vs. WGS 첨가군. 머루즙의 종류에 따른 반죽 및 제빵 특성을 비교하면, 머루즙 첨가에 의한 빵반죽의 색도 강화 및 pH 감소 경향은 동일 첨가농도에서 WGJ 첨가 반죽이 WGS 첨가 반죽에 비해 더욱 현저하게 나타났다. 이는, WGJ 머루즙이 WGS 머루즙에 비해 순수 머루의 함량이 높았으므로, 이에 따라 반죽의 색과 pH에 영향을 주는 머루즙 내의 안토시안과 주석산의 함량도 WGJ 첨가 반죽에서 상대적으로 더 높았기 때문이다. 머루즙 종류 및 첨가농도 의한 색과 pH의 이러한 변화 경향은 제빵 이후에까지 일관되게 유지되었다. 한편, 제조방법이 다른 두 종류의 머루즙에 의한 차이는 제빵 완료 이후 관능평가에서 비교적 뚜렷이 관찰되었다. 즉 WGJ 머루즙 첨가빵은 머루즙 첨가에 의해 빵의 부드러운 정도(consistency)와 촉촉한 정도(moistness)가 유의적으로 감소되어 무첨가빵에 비해 전반적 기호도(overall acceptability)가 낮게 평가되었으나, WGS 머루즙 첨가빵은 무첨가빵과 유의적인 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 따라서, 머루즙 종류에 의한 유의적 차이가 관찰된 관능 평가 결과를 고려한다면, WGJ 머루즙보다는 WGS 머루즙의 첨가가 더 바람직할 것으로 보인다. 또한, WGS 머루즙을 5% 첨가했을 때, 빵의 물성 및 관능적 특성이 무첨가빵과 유의적인 차이를 나타내지 않거나 혹은 개선된 현상이 관찰되었으므로, 빵의 품질 및 기호도의 유의적 저하없이 머루즙의 기능성이 제빵에 부가될 수 있을 것으로 사료되었다.
