한국형 신형원자로1400(APR1400)은 3983MWt급의 2×4 루프 개량형 가압경수로(PWR)로서 대형 냉각재상실사고 발생시 안전주입수의 원자로용기 직접주입(DVI) 방식을 채택하고 있으며, 안전주입수탱크(SIT) 내부에 유량조절기(Fluidic Device, FD)를 장착하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 신형원자로 1400의 안전주입계통에 새로이 적용된 주요 특징 중 하나인 유량조절기에 대하여 최적안전해석코드인 TRAC-M/F90, 3.782버전을 이용한 성능평가 및 민감도 분석을 수행하였다. 연구결과 유량조절기가 안전주입수의 원자로 유입을 적절하게 조절하고 있음을 확인하였으며, 안전주입수탱크 내부의 압축질소체적 감소가 안전 주입수체적 감소에 비하여 노심의 급냉 완료 시점을 빠르게 하였다. 또한 안전주입계통의 전체 저항계수(K factor)가 최소 또는 최대일 때 노심의 급냉 완료 시점은 평균값인 경우보다 다소 늦어졌으나, 피복재 최고온도(PCT)는 상대적으로 큰 차이가 발생하지 않았다.

Vortex type Fluidic Device(FD) which is installed at the bottom of Safety Injection Tank(SIT) controls the discharge flow rate from the tank. In case of loss of coolant accident the injection water flows into primary system in two steps; initial high flow rate for certain period of time and subsequent low flow rate. By two-step control of the discharge flow rate, FD can ensure the effective use of water in the tank. A small-scale FD has been tested to obtain a required flow characteristics maintaining full pressure and height of prototype, which are the major contributing parameters. Through the testing of many different arrangements of internal geometry of FD, most appropriate one was selected and its performance data was obtained. As characteristics of FD, time dependent Euler number, flow rate and pressure are presented and discussed. Also a method to predict the full size FD is presented.

Recently many researches related with biotechnology are processed and it is the situation that research about micro fluidic devices is active. Micro fluidic devices has been one of the most widely used devices for the analysis in biotechnology because they have many advantages, flexibility, transparency, thermal and electrical stability, nontoxic, etc. In this study, micro fluidic device with PDMS is developed for particle counter which separates a small quantity of particles, The principle of micro particle counter is electrical-impedance method, and it was also applied hydrodynamic flow focusing. It is more efficient method to analyzing particles furthermore it can be applied to cell count ins for biotechnology.

We present the design, fabrication, and characterization of a multi-chip microelectrofluidic bench, achieving both electrical and fluidic interconnections with a simple, low-loss and low-temperature electrofluidic interconnection method. We design 4-chip microelectrofluidic bench, having three electrical pads and two fluidic I/O ports. Each device chip, having three electrical interconnections and a pair of two fluidic I/O interconnections, can be assembled to the microelectofluidic bench with electrical and fluidic interconnections. In the fluidic and electrical characterization, we measure the average pressure drop of $13.6{\sim}125.4$ Pa/mm with the nonlinearity of 3.1 % for the flow-rates of $10{\sim}100{\mu}l/min$ in the fluidic line. The pressure drop per fluidic interconnection is measured as 0.19kPa. Experimentally, there are no significant differences in pressure drops between straight channels and elbow channels. The measured average electrical resistance is $0.26{\Omega}/mm$ in the electrical line. The electrical resistance per each electrical interconnection is measured as $0.64{\Omega}$. Mechanically, the maximum pressure, where the microelectrofluidic bench endures, reaches up to $115{\pm}11kPa$.

In this paper, we describe a bio-fluidic device for adaptive sample pretreatment, in order to optimize the conditions under which absorbance assays can be conducted. This device can be successfully applied to the measurement of Escherichia coli (E. coli) concentrations using adaptive dilution, with which the dilution ratio can be adjusted during the dilution. Although many attempts have been previously made to miniaturize complex biochemical analyses at the chip scale, very few sample pretreatment processes have actually been miniaturized or automated at this point. Due to the lack of currently available on-chip pretreatments, analytical instruments tend to suffer from a limited range of analysis. This occasionally hinders the direct and quantitative analysis of specific analyses obtained from real samples. In order to overcome these issues, we exploit two novel strategies: dilution with a programmable ratio, and to-and-fro mixing. The bio-fluidic device consists of a rectangular chamber constructed of poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS). This chamber has four openings, an inlet, an outlet, an air control, and an air vent. Each of the dilution cycles is comprised of four steps: detection, liquid drain, buffer injection, and to-and-fro mixing. When using adaptive sample pretreatment, the range in which E. coli concentrations can be measured is broadened, to an optical density (O.D.) range of $0.3{\sim}30$. This device may prove useful in the on-line monitoring of cell concentrations, in both fermenter and aqueous environments.

This paper reports the design, modeling, fabrication and measurement of passive microvalves, which are applicable to glaucoma implants. The proposed microvalves were designed using fluidic theory. The microvalves consisted of microchannels and chambers. The microchannels had a constant fluidic resistance generating a pressure difference. Six kinds of microvalves were designed using fluidic equations for laminar flow and fabricated to examine the influences of chamber size, channel length and the shape of channel cross section. The pressure difference between the designed microvalve and the fabricated microvalve was measured to be less than 4%.

유동 제어 시스템에 적용을 위한 디스크형 유체 소자 밸브의 성능해석 알고리즘을 수립하고 설계 변수들에 대한 민감도 분석을 진행하였다. 유입 유량 발생에 따른 챔버의 압력 변화와 디스크 거동 변화를 예측 하였고 설계 변수들의 민감도 분석을 위해 Scattering plot 기법을 활용하였다. 민감도 분석결과 유동 마하수에 가장 큰 민감도는 갖는 변수는 노즐 출구이며 밸브 응답 시간과 노즐 출구 모두에서 큰 민감도를 갖는 변수는 유입 유량임을 확인하였다.

We present a simple and an inexpensive method for the fabrication of a nano-fluidic filter and a nano-pore micromixer using self-assembly of nano-spheres and surface tension. Colloid-plug was formed by surface tension of liquid in a microchannel to fabricate nanofluidic filter. When colloid is evaporated, nano-spheres in a colloid are orderly stacked by a capillary force. Orderly stacked nano-spheres form 3-D nano-mesh which can be used as a mesh structure of a fluidic filter. We used silica nano-sphere whose diameter is $567{\pm}85nm$, and silicon micro-channel of $50{\mu}m$-diameter. Fabricated nano-fluidic filter in a micro-channel has median pore diameter of 158nm which was in agreement with expected diameter of the nano-pore of $128{\pm}19nm$. A nano-pore micromixer consists of $200\;{\mu}m-wide,\;100\;{\mu}m-deep$ micro-channel and self-assembled nano-spheres. In the nano-pore micromixer, two different fluids had no sooner met together than two fluids begin to mix at wide region. From the experimental study, we completely apply self-assembly of nano-spheres to nano-fluidic devices.

신형경수로인 APR1400의 안전주입탱크에는 유량조절장치가 설치되어있다. 이러한 유량조절장치는 안전주입탱크 내부의 수위에 따라 유량조절장치 내부에 위치한 와류실의 유동양식이 변하도록 설계되어 있어, 피동적으로 유량이 조절되는 특성을 가지고 있다. 그러나 고유량에서 저유량으로 전환되는 과정에서 유동의 관성에 의해 상부 기체가 방출되는 현상이 존재하여, FD 성능에 영향을 줄 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 전산유체역학 코드인 CFX 코드를 활용하여 안전주입탱크의 유량전환현상시 기체의 방출현상에 대해 이상유체 자유수면모델 적용하여 계산하였다. 이를 통해 안전주입수의 수위 및 상부 충전기체의 거동을 평가하여 FD 성능특성에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 유량전환구간에서 자유수면의 높이가 순간적으로 낮아지게 되어, 상부의 기체가 일부 방출되는 것으로 평가되었으나, FD 성능특성에는 큰 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 평가되었다.
