In the nuclear power plant, emergency core coolant system (ECCS) is furnished at reactor coolant system (RCS) in order to cool down high temperature water in case of emergency. However, in this coolant system, thermal stratification phenomenon can occur due to coolant leaking in the check valve. The thermal stratification produces excessive thermal stresses at the pipe wall so as to yield thermal fatigue crack (TFC) accident. In the present study, effects of turbulence penetration on the thermal stratification into T-branches with square cross-section in the modeled ECCS are analysed numerically. $textsc{k}$-$\varepsilon$ model is employed to calculate the Reynolds stresses in momentum equations. Results show that the length and strength of thermal stratification are primarily affected by the leak flow rate of coolant and the Reynolds number of the main flow in the duct. Turbulence penetration into the T-branch of ECCS shows two counteracting effects on the thermal stratification. Heat transport by turbulence penetration from the main duct to leaking flow region may enhance thermal stratification while the turbulent diffusion may weaken it.

The liquid entrainment and vapor pull-through offtake model of RELAP5/MOD3 had been developed for SBLOCA (Small Break Loss of Coolant Accident). The RELAP5/MOD3 model for horizontal volumes accounts for the phase separation phenomena and computes the flux of mass and energy through a branch when stratified conditions occur in the horizontal pipe. In the case of CANDU reactor, this model should be used in the coolant flow of 95 feeders connected to the reactor header component under the horizontal stratification in header. The current RELAP5 model can treat the only 3 directions junctions; vertical upward, downward, and side oriented junctions, and thus improvements for the liquid entrainment and vapor pull-through model were needed for considering the exact angles. The RELAP5 off-take model was modified and generalized by considering the geometric effect of branching angles. Based on the previous experimental results, the critical height correlation was reconstructed by use of the branch line connection angle and validation analyses were also performed using SET. The new model can be applied to vertical upward, downward and angled branch, and the accuracy of the new correlations is more improved than that of RELAP5.

The traditional method to calculate the gravity feed is to assume that only one tank in fuel system supplies the needed fuel to the engine, and then calculated for the single branch. Actually, all fuel tanks compete for supplying oil. Our method takes into consideration all fuel tanks and therefore, we believe, our method is intrinsically superior to traditional methods and is closer to understanding the real seriousness of the oil supply situation. Firstly, the thesis gives the mathematical model for fuel flow pipe, pump, check valve and the simulation model for fuel tank. On the basis of flow network theory and time difference method, we established a new calculation method for gravity feed oil of aeroplane fuel system, secondly. This model can solve the multiple-branch and transient process simulation of gravity feed oil. Finally, we give a numerical example for a certain type of aircraft, achieved the variations of oil level and flow mass per second of each oil tanks. In addition, we also obtained the variations of the oil pressure of the engine inlet, and predicted the maximum time that the aeroplane could fly safely under gravity feed. These variations show that our proposed method of calculations is satisfactory.

이젝터는 고압의 유체를 구동관로에서 분출시켜, 그 주변의 저압기체와 운동량 교환을 통하여 저압의 유체를 보다 높은 압력까지 상승시켜 흡인되는 유체를 이송하는 장치이다. 증기-증기 이젝터는 흡입, 혼합 및 탈수에 널리 사용되고 있다. 그리고 이젝터는 기계적인 작동이 없으므로, 고장이 거의 없다. 또한 이젝터는 유체 관련 시스템의 크기에 관계없이 유체와 관련된 다양한 장소에 용이하게 설치할 수 있어, 정비의 필요성이 거의 없고 비용도 합리적이다. 따라서 본 연구는 단순 압축 또는 진공 설비를 위한 펌프 혹은 기계장치 대안으로 사용되는 이젝터 전체에 적용할 수 있는 기초 자료 제공을 목표로 하였다. 이 목표를 위해 실험만으로 획득할 수 없는 자료를 전산유체역학을 적용하여 분석함으로써 이젝터의 유체역학적 특성에 있어 최적의 설계조건을 제시하였다.

Anyang Stream including its main branch is the biggest branch stream of Han River in Korea. The geological and geomorphological characteristics were investigated to the affected area of Anyang Stream, in which rainfall characteristic was analyzed. The water quality surveyed that the analysis of water pollution used to biotic index and biological water pollution. The rainfall pattern in this area was like to that of typical Korea, but the rate of trigger and runoff during summer season(June~August) is more higher than mean of Korea. Before 2003, a dried stream is severe status, which was due to abundant runoff, but this status are improved. After 1997, water quality of stream is recovering status such as water pollution of stream steeply decreased. Especially after 2003, this trend is more quickly improved. Although, owing to the increasing of a T-N and SS at upstream wastewater were due to bad collection of industrial factories, livestock's and mans living, the water quality worsted at upstream. Water quality in total section of main stream was severely contaminated that water-quality limit is 5 with polysaprobic by water self-purification. That of main branch was 1~3limits with ${\alpha}$- and ${\beta}$-mesosaprobic in Anyang city area, But water quality in all area about another branch of Anyang stream except Anyang city area was almost under of 3 grades. Though trying of Anyang city for recover movement(completion of 2nd Sewage Treatment Plant and Water supply pipe system) on Anyang stream, water pollution states of upper branch in Anyang stream was not better than its of 2002 because it may be difference of control area on other cities.

선택적 촉매환원(selective catalytic reduction, SCR) 시스템에서 사용되는 환원제의 효용성을 극대화하기 위해 적용되는 암모니아주입관(ammonia injection gun, AIG) 성능은 유량의 분배, 공기분배다기관(air distribution manifold, ADM)의 배치 그리고 노즐의 배열 및 형상 등에 의해 영향을 받는다. 본 연구에서는 전산유체역학(computational fluid dynamics, CFD) 기법을 이용하여 AIG 성능의 지표가 되는 토출 유량 균일도를 통계적인 수치로 표현하여 관련된 설계인자들과 SCR 시스템의 성능 사이의 상관관계를 평가하고자 하였다. 관내 유동에서 일어나는 유체역학적인 현상의 영향으로 AIG에 대한 공급유량이 증가할 때 각 노즐에서의 토출 유량의 균일도는 감소하는 해석결과를 얻었으며 헤더로부터 가까울수록 분지관으로의 유량분배율이 낮아짐과 동시에 헤더에 가까운 노즐일수록 토출유량이 적어지는 현상을 파악하였다. 각 분지관에 대해 유입 면적대비 노즐의 총 면적비가 0.5 미만일 때 토출 유량의 균일도와 분지관의 유량분배가 매우 균일해지는 것으로 파악되었다.

에너지 관련 플랜트에 사용되는 배관은 플랜트의 성능이나 안전성유지에 있어서 중요한 설비의 일부이다. 본 연구에서는 고압탄소강 배관의 변형 및 파괴에 대한 음향방출 기초 자료를 얻기 위하여 압력용기용 배관재를 기계가공하여 인장시험편을 만든 후, 인장시험을 실시하여 항복, 소성변형 및 파괴에 이르기까지의 음향방출 신호를 분석하였다. 탄성영역, 최대인장강도 이전의 소성영역 및 최대인장강도 이후의 소성영역에서 검출된 음향방출의 시간-주파수 분석 결과는 탄성영역에서 항복영역까지는 비교적 낮은 저주파수 대역(250${\~}$350kHz)이 나타났으며, 소성영역에서는 저주파수뿐만 아니라 고주파수 대역(500kHz)도 나타났다. 인장시험 후, 이러한 각 영역의 구별이 가능하였던 원인은 항복영역에서의 전위의 이동, 집적에 따른 신호와 최대인장강도 이전의 소성영역에서의 전위들이 개재물이나 결정입계를 통과했을 때 나타나는 신호, 최대인장강도 이후에는 미소공동의 발생, 성장 및 합체에 의하여 나타나는 신호로 분류가 가능하였기 때문인 것으로 판단된다.

The thermal stratification phenomena, frequently occurring in the component of nuclear power plant system such as pressurizer surge line, steam generator inlet nozzle, safety injection system (SIS), and chemical and volume control system (CVCS), can cause through-wall cracks, thermal fatigue, unexpected piping displacement and dislocation, and pipe support damage. The phenomenon is one of the unaccounted load in the design stage. However, the load have been found to be serious as nuclear power plant operation experience accumulates. In particular, the thermal stratification by the turbulent penetration or valve leak in the SIS and SCS pipe line can lead these safety systems to failure by the thermal fatigue. Therefore in this study an 1/10 scaledowned experimental rig had been designed and installed. And a series of experimental works had been executed to measure the temperature distribution (thermal stratification) in these systems by the turbulent penetration, valve leak, and heat transfer through valve. The results provide very valuable informations such as turbulent penetration depth, the possibility of thermal stratification by the heat transfer through valve, etc. Also the results are expected to be useful to understand the thermal stratification in these systems, establish the thermal strati­fication criteria and validate the calculation results by CFD Codes such as Fluent, Phenix, CFX.
