Concrete, as a porous media, has permeability and it is considered as a major parameter for durability evaluation. Cold joint caused by delayed placing of concrete accelerates water permeation and intrusion of harmful ions. In the paper, concrete specimens containing GGBFS (Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag) and OPC (Ordinary Portland Cement) are prepared with cold joint section, and water permeability and water flow at the age of 91 days are measured for 2 weeks. Sound concrete with GGBFS shows decreased permeability to 89% for sound concrete with OPC and 0.86 of decreasing ratio is evaluated in GGBFS concrete with cold joint. Through WPT (Water Penetration Test), the effects of mineral admixture and cold joint on water permeability are evaluated, and variation in water behavior via cold joint is analyzed through probabilistic method as well.

It is noted that Dioscorea quinqueloba is a medicinal herb that is widely used to treat cardiovascular disease and is assessed as useful to treat other various medical conditions. The immunopotentiating effects of the protein extract (DQP-1) from Dioscorea quinqueloba were thus formally investigated in vivo under incident of cold stress. In this case study, the spleen and thymus weight in mice was shown to have decreased after a measured exposure to cold stress, while the adrenal gland weight in the mice was shown to have increased. The systematic oral administration of DQP-1 significantly recovered the weight loss of the spleen and suppressed the adrenal gland hypertrophy during the association with cold stress. Additionally, the DQP-1 also restored the ascorbic acid level in the adrenal gland reduced after cold stress. The cold stress exposure lowered the percentage of $CD4^+$ and $CD8^+$ cells in the mouse thymus as determined by the flow cytometric analysis, as well as the levels of some serum immunological cytokines(interleukin-2, interleukin-12, and interferon-${\gamma}$) in the studied mice. The resulting identified weakened immunity caused by cold stress was also recovered by a treatment with DQP-1. The DQP-1 significantly suppressed the formation of serum enzymes of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and lactate dehydrogenase, which were systematically elevated during the cold stress episode. These results indicate that DQP-1 can improve immunity in mice that are characteristically weakened under stress.

The heat transfer enhancement by pulsating flow in a plate heat exchanger has been experimentally investigated in this study. The effect of the pulsating flow, such as pulsating frequency and flow rate on the heat transfer as well as pressure drop in a plate heat exchanger has been studied in detail. Reynolds number in cold side of a plate heat exchanger is varied 100∼530 while that of hot side is fixed at 620. The pulsating frequency is considered in the range of 5∼30 Hz. The results of the pulsating flow are also compared with those of steady flow. It is found that the average heat transfer rate as well as pressure drop is increased as flow rate is increased for both steady flow and pulsating flow cases. When pulsating flow is applied to the plate heat exchanger, heat transfer could be substantially increased in particular ranges of pulsating frequency or Strouhal number; St=0.36∼0.60 and pressure drop is also increased, compared with those of steady flow. However, in the region of low pulsating frequency or high pulsating frequency, heat transfer enhancement is in meager. Heat transfer enhancement map is suggested based on Strouhal number and Reynolds number of pulsating flow.

Aerodynamic forces and moments have been used to control rocket propelled vehicles. If control is required at very low speed, Those systems only provide a limited capability because aerodynamic control force is proportional to the air density and low dynamic pressure. But thrust vector control(TVC) can overcome the disadvantages. TVC is the method which generates the side force and roll moment by controlling exhausted gas directly in a rocket nozzle. TVC is classified by mechanical and fluid dynamic methods. Mechanical methods can change the flow direction by several objects installed in a rocket nozzle exhaust such as tapered ramp tabs and jet vane. Fluid dynamic methods control the flight direction with the injection of secondary gaseous flows into the rocket nozzle. The tapered ramp tabs of mechanical methods are used in this paper. They installed at the rear in the rocket nozzle could be freely moved along axial and radial direction on the mounting ring to provide the mass flow rate which is injected from the rocket nozzle. In this paper, the conceptual design and the performance study on the tapered ramp tabs of the thurst vector control has been carried out using the supersonic cold flow system and shadow graph. Numerical simulation was also performed to study flow characteristics and interactions between ramp tabs. This paper provides to analyze the location of normal shock wave and distribution of surface pressure on the region enclosed by the tapered ramp tabs.

Each detergent-solution in the concentration of 0.4% was prepared with four kinds of raw materials of detergents and two kinds of commercial surfactants for kitchen. LAS (Linear Alkyl Benzene Sulfonate), AOS ($\alpha$-O1effine Sulfonate), SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfonate) and SLE (Sodium Lauryl Ester Sulfonate) were used as the raw materials. Vegetables and fruits such as cucumber, crown daisy, lettuce, strawberry and tomatos were diped in each solution and washed 5 times in static or flow state. For the other experiments, tablewares such as porcelain, stainless bowls, glass and plastic cups were diped in each solution and washed also 5 times with cold and hot water in static or flow state. The residues of the detergents on the every steps of wash-conditions were measured. The results of this study were summarized as followings: 1. The residures of the detergents on the tested vegetables and fruits after 5 times washing were detected with the range from 0.450 to 7.120 ppm in static state and from 0.343 to 6.375 ppm in flow state. 2. The residures of the detergents on the tested tablewares after 5 times washing with cold water were observed with the range from 0.057 to 0.815 ppm in static state and from 0.066 to 0.905 ppm in flow state. 4. The residures of the detergents on the tested tablewares after 5 times washing with hot water were determined with the range from 0.061 to 0.424 ppm in static state and from 0.066 to 0.368 ppm in flow state. 4. Independent on detergent types, water temperatures and washing methods, the detergents were remained stablely on the porcelain; 0.057~0.815 ppm, on the stainless bowl; 0.061~0.905 ppm, on the glass cup; 0.0l4~0.592 ppm and on the plastic cup; 0.201~0.592 ppm.

Natural convection heat transfer from a horizontal ice cylinder immersed in quiescent cold pure water was studied experimentally. The experiment was conducted for the ambient water temperatures ranging from $2.0^{\cric}C$ to $10.0^{\circ}C$. The flow fields around an ice cylinder and its melting shapes were visualized and local Nusselt numbers obtained. Especially, its attention was focused on the density maximum effects and stagnation point Nusselt number. From the visualized photographs of flow fields, three distinct flow patterns were observed with the ambient water temperature variation. The melting shapes of ice cylinder are various in shape with flow patterns. Steady state upflow was occured at the range of $2.0^{\circ}C \leq T_{\infty} \leq 4.6^{\circ}C$ and steady state downflow was occured at $T_{\infty} \geq 6.0^{\circ}C$. In the range of $4.7^{\circ}C < T_{\infty} < 6.0^{\circ}C$, three-dimensional unsteady state flow was observed. Especially, the melting shapes of ice cylinder have formed the several spiral flutes for the temperatures ranging from $5.5^{\circ}C$ to $5.8^{\circ}C$. For upflow regime, the maximum stagnation point Nusselt number exists at $T_{\infty} = 2.5^{\circ}C$ and as the ambient water temperature increases the Nusselt number decreases. At ambient water temperature of about $5.7^{\circ}C$, Nusselt number shows its minimum value.

This study was conducted to examine whether there is any effect of the local body exposure to hot and cold alternate stress on the blood flow and heart rate. Environmental condition was $20^{\circ}C$ air temperature, 65% relative humidity and 0.2m/s air movement. 22~32 years old four healthy female subjects wore clothes which they felt comfort sitting on a chair. And then their left hand was immersed twice in ($42^{\circ}C$\;and\;15^{\circ}C$ water alternately. Two of the subjects (E-group) were continually exposed to above condition 12 times. While, the other two (C-group) were exposed twice only at the 1st and 12th time of E-group's exposure. The results obtained from this experiment were as follows. \circled1 The initial response of the finger blood flow in I-group to the thermal stress showed more sensitively at the post-training than pre-training. \circled2 Heart .ate was higher in hand immersion at hot water ($42^{\circ}C$) than at cold water ($15^{\circ}C$) \circled3 The pattern of the blood flow of the finger and heart rate was different between E-group and C-group.

An overview is given on the work of the Laboratory of Nuclear Energy Systems at ETH, Zurich (ETHZ) and of the Laboratory of Thermal Hydraulics at Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), Switzerland on tight-lattice bundles. Two-phase flow in subchannels of a tight triangular lattice was studied experimentally and by computational fluid dynamics simulations. Two adiabatic facilities were used: (1) a vertical channel modeling a pair of neighboring sub-channels; and (2) an arrangement of four subchannels with one subchannel in the center. The first geometry was equipped with two electrical film sensors placed on opposing rod surfaces forming the subchannel gap. They recorded 2D liquid film thickness distributions on a domain of $16{\times}64$ measuring points each, with a time resolution of 10 kHz. In the bubbly and slug flow regime, information on the bubble size, shape, and velocity and the residual liquid film thickness underneath the bubbles were obtained. The second channel was investigated using cold neutron tomography, which allowed the measurement of average liquid film profiles showing the effect of spacer grids with vanes. The results were reproduced by large eddy simulation + volume of fluid. In the outlook, a novel nonadiabatic subchannel experiment is introduced that can be driven to steady-state dryout. A refrigerant is heated by a heavy water circuit, which allows the application of cold neutron tomography.

The HANARO, a multi-purpose research reactor of 30 MWth, open-tank-in-pool type, has been under normal operation since its initial criticality in February, 1995. The HANARO is composed of inlet plenum, grid plate, core channel with flow tubes and chimney. The reactor core channel is located at about twelve m (12 m) depth of the reactor pool and cold by the upward flow that the coolant enters the lower inlet of the plenum, rises up through the grid plate and the core channel and exit through the outlet of chimney. A guide tube is extended from the reactor core to the top of the reactor chimney for easily un/loading a target under the reactor normal operation. But active coolant through the core can be Quickly raised up to the top of the chimney through the guide tube by jet flow. This paper is described an analytical analysis to study the flow behavior through the guide tube under reactor normal operation and unloading the target. As results, it was conformed through the analysis results that the flow rate, about fourteen kilogram per second (14 kg/s) suppressed the guide tube jet and met the design cooling flow rate in a circular flow tube, and that the fission moly target cooling flow rate met the minimum flow rate to cool the target.
