To develop a recycling process of magnesium alloy scrap, a fundamental study on the distillation of magnesium alloy melt was carried out. Melt temperature, vacuum degree and reaction time were considered as experimental variables. The amount of vaporized magnesium melt per unit surface area of melt increases with the increase of melt temperature, reaction time and vacuum degree. The vapor condensed at the tip of water cooling Cu-condenser as a form of pine cone. Magnesium and zinc were vaporized easily from the melt. However, It's difficult to separate magnesium and zinc by vacuum distillation because vapor pressure of zinc is similar to one of magnesium. The contents of aluminum, manganese and iron, etc. in residual melt increase due to the decrease of magnesium and zinc content after the distillation of magnesium alloy.

The MARS code has been assessed for the prediction of onset of flow instability (OFI) in a vertical channel. For assessment, we built an experiment database that consists of experiments under various geometry and thermal-hydraulic condition. It covers pressure from 0.12 to 1.73 MPa; heat flux from 0.67 to 3.48 MW/m²; inlet sub-cooling from 39 to 166 ℃; hydraulic diameters between 2.37 and 6.45 mm of rectangular channels and pipes. It was shown that the MARS code can predict the OFI mass flux for pipes reasonably well. However, it could not predict the OFI in a rectangular channel well with a mean absolute percentage error of 8.77%. In the cases of rectangular channels, the error tends to depend on the hydraulic diameter. Because the OFI is directly related to the subcooled boiling in a flow channel, we suggest a modified subcooled boiling model for better prediction of OFI in a rectangular channel; the net vapor generation (NVG) model and the modified wall evaporation model were modified so that the effect of hydraulic diameter and heat flux can be accurately considered. The assessment of the modified model shows the prediction of OFI mass flux for rectangular channels is greatly improved.

In this paper, a new performance equation of bath tubs has been derived, which is very characteristically illuminating and in good agreement with experiments : $$T=T_{\infty}+(T_0-T_{\infty})e-\frac{k(A'_f+A_0)}{Mc_{P{\Delta}x}t$$, where $T_{\infty}$ is the temperature of the bathroom, $T_0$ that of the bathwater at t=0, k the overall heat conductivity of the tub- wall, $A'_f$ the equivalent surface area to the wall, $A_0$ the submerged area of the tub-wall, M mass of the bath-water, $C_p$ the specific heat of the bathwater and ${\Delta}x$ the thickness of the tub-wall. Here the equivalent-free surface area is written as $$A'_f=mA_f,\;m=const.(1-{\phi})^{0.88}$$ : where m is a numerical factor which is determined by a simple experiment and some calculation, {\phi}$ the relative humidity and $A_f$ the real free-surface area. From this study, it has been clarified that cooling of bath-water is mainly due to mass-transfer through evaporation from the free surface and conductive heat loss through the tub-wall is minor, which rather gaily mock at common sense. The effect of keeping bathwater warn by increase of the tub-wall thickness is also analyzed by a new idea of the thickness gain factor.

An improved mitigation system for thermally-induced steam generator tube rupture accidents was introduced to prevent direct environmental release of fission products bypassing the containment in the OPR1000. This involves injecting bypassed steam into the containment, cooling, and decontaminating it using a water coolant tank. To evaluate its performance, a severe accident analysis was performed using the MELCOR 2.2 code for OPR1000. Simulation results show that the proposed system sufficiently prevented the release of radioactive nuclides (RNs) into the environment via containment injection. The pool scrubbing system effectively decontaminated the injected RN and consequently reduced the aerosol mass in the containment atmosphere. However, the decay heat of the collected RNs causes re-vaporization. To restrict the re-vaporization, an external water source was considered, where the decontamination performance was significantly improved, and the RNs were effectively isolated. However, due to the continuous evaporation of the feed water caused by decay heat, a substantial amount of steam is released into the containment. Despite the slight pressurization inside the containment by the injected and evaporated steam, the steam decreased the hydrogen mole fraction, thereby reducing the possibility of ignition.

하절기 온실재배가 늘어나고 적극적인 온실냉방이 필요해짐에 따라 저비용의 냉방법 개발이 매우 중요해졌다. 경제적인 냉방법을 개발하기 위하여 차광율 수준과 물흘림의 상태가 냉각효과에 미치는 영향을 분석하고자 하였다. 실험분석을 위해 온실모형 모듈을 제작하여 차광율수준과 물흘림수준을 조합 변화시켜가며 경시별 측정을 수행하고 변수의 수준별로 비교분석하였다. 1. 외기건구온도가 상승하면 모듈실내온도도 상승하는 경향이며, 차광막이 있고 물흘림이 있으면 대체적으로 외기온보다는 낮고 물온도보다는 높은 수준을 나타내고 있다. 한편, 물흘림이 없는 경우에는 차광율의 수준간 건구온도변화가 크지 않은 것으로 나타나고 있다. 물흘림이 없이 차광막만 있는 경우 차광율의 수준이 35%에서 75V로 높아질수록 평균내부온도는 낮아졌지만 외부보다는 1.7$\sim$4$^{\circ}C$ 정도의 높은 온도를 나타내었다. 그러나 물흘림과 차광이 동시에 이루어지는 경우 전체적으로 외부온도보다 낮은 가운데 그 차이가 -0.2$\sim$-1.2$^{\circ}C$ 정도로 외기평균보다 낮게 나타났다. 그러나 물흘림 수준에 따라서는 차이가 나타나지 않았으며, 물흘림은 골고루 분포되도록 분무해 줄 필요가 있는 것으로 판단되었다. 공급되는 물의 온도는 실내온도에 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 2. 차광율수준이 높을 수록 모듈내 흑구온도는 낮게 나타났다. 그러나 차광막만 설치하여서는 외부의 복사광 차단에 의한 냉각효과를 기대하기 어려우며 차광막과 함께 물흘림을 병행해야 복사광 차단과 함께 복사 냉각효과를 함께 얻을 수 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 3. 물흘림이 있는 경우 표면온도는 수온이하이거나 수온보다 높더라도 1.2$^{\circ}C$ 이상을 넘지 않았으며, 차광수준이 높을수록 표면온도는 더 낮게 나타났다 그 이유는 물의 증발냉각에 의해 표면이 냉각되기 때문으로 분석되었다. 필름표면온도의 평균은 차광막의 수준에 관계없이 비교적 일정한 값을 나타내었으나 물흘림이 없는 경우 차광율의 수준이 놓을 수록 평균온도는 높게 나타났던 바 이는 차광에 의해 외부 복사광이 차광막에 흡수되었기 때문으로 판단되었다. 4. 상대습도는 건구온도가 증가함에 따라 비교적 직선적으로 하강하였으며, 이는 수분의 공급이 따로 이루어지지 않는 한 절대습도가 일정하기 때문에 건구온도가 상승하면 자연스럽게 하강하게 되는 것으로 판단되었다. 차광막이 있거나 물흘림이 있는 경우에는 외기건구온도의 영향에는 영향을 받지 않고 모듈내 건구온도에 따라 변하는 것으로 나타났다.

Incidences of urban flood and extreme heat waves (due to the urban heat island effect) are expected to increase in New Zealand under future climate change (IPCC 2022; MfE 2020). Increasingly, the mitigation of such events will depend on the resilience of a range Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) used in Sustainable Urban Drainage Schemes (SUDS), or Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) (Jamei and Tapper 2019; Johnson et al 2021). Understanding the impact of changing precipitation and temperature regimes due climate change is therefore critical to the long-term resilience of such urban infrastructure and design. Cuthbert et al (2022) have assessed the trade-offs between the water retention and cooling benefits of different urban greening methods (such as WSUD) relative to global location and climate. Using the Budyko water-energy balance framework (Budyko 1974), they demonstrated that the potential for water infiltration and storage (thus flood mitigation) was greater where potential evaporation is high relative to precipitation. Similarly, they found that the potential for mitigation of drought conditions was greater in cooler environments. Subsequently, Jaramillo et al. (2022) have illustrated the locations worldwide that will deviate from their current Budyko curve characteristic under climate change scenarios, as the relationship between actual evapotranspiration (AET) and potential evapotranspiration (PET) changes relative to precipitation. Using the above approach we assess the impact of future climate change on the urban water-energy balance in three contrasting New Zealand cities (Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Invercargill). The variation in Budyko curve characteristics is then used to describe expected changes in water storage and cooling potential in each urban area as a result of climate change. The implications of the results are then considered with respect to existing WSUD guidelines according to both the current and future climate in each location. It was concluded that calculation of Budyko curve deviation due to climate change could be calculated for any location and land-use type combination in New Zealand and could therefore be used to advance the general understanding of climate change impacts. Moreover, the approach could be used to better define the concept of urban infrastructure resilience and contribute to a better understanding of Budyko curve dynamics under climate change (questions raised by Berghuijs et al 2020)). Whilst this knowledge will assist in implementation of national climate change adaptation (MfE, 2022; UNEP, 2022) and improve climate resilience in urban areas in New Zealand, the approach could be repeated for any global location for which present and future mean precipitation and temperature conditions are known.

물분무소화설비는 화원의 냉각, 주변공기의 희석, 미세한 물방울의 증발에 의한 열차단과 같은 소화특성을 이용한다. 미분무수의 운동량은 입자가 큰 물방울에 비해 상대적으로 낮으며 화원의 침투능력도 효과적이지 못하다. 증발된 수증기에 의한 기여는 무게가 가볍고 밀도가 희박하여 화원에 일부분으로 제한되는 경향이 있다. 반면, 사이클식 미분무 패턴은 성층화된 분무 특성에 의해 공기 추출능력과 침투력이 개선될 것으로 예상된다. 이 논문에서는 유체공학적 화재모델인 FDS를 사용하여 교번식 미분무 패턴에 대해 분석된 소화능력을 다룬다. 저자는 이 분석이 미분무 노즐의 표본을 개발하기 위한 기본 개념을 제공할 수 있기를 기대한다.

할론소화약제는 유류화재 및 전기화재의 진압에 가장 효과적으로 널리 사용되어 왔으나, 이들은 오존층파괴지수와 지구온난화지수가 높아 환경문제를 야기하고 있다. 이러한 환경에 악영향을 주지 않는 대체기술의 하나로 관심을 끌며 연구되기 시작한 소화방법이 미세물분무를 이용한 소화설비이며, 미세물분무는 스프링클러의 살수입자에 비해 물입자가 작고 표면적이 크기 때문에 화염면에서의 증발 및 냉각특성이 우수하며, 산소의 농도를 감소시키는 질식작용이 우수하다. 본 연구는 미세물분무 소화설비의 설계를 위한 기초단계로 유류화재에 대한 미세물분무의 입자크기, 유량밀도, 방사분포, 방사압력 및 화재의 크기에 따른 화염의 소화특성을 측정하였다. 그 결과 액체 poo l화재의 소화시간은 유량밀도가 증가함으로서 짧아지고, 유량밀도가 0.5$\pm$0.05ml/$\textrm{cm}^2$ . min이하인 경우 입자크기가 증가함으로서 짧아졌다. 또 방사주기를 변화시켜 실험한 결과 n-heptane 화재에 대하여 간헐적으로 방사한 미세물분무가 소화에 효과적이었으며, 이때 연속방사와 비교하여 화재를 소화하기 위해 필요한 물의 총량은 1/4로 감소하였다.
