In the present wort the Laser-induced Fluorescence (LIF) technique and Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy (CLSM) have been combined to measure the temperature distribution across a micro-scale liquid layer as a direct and non-invasive method. Only the fluorescent light emitted from a very thin volume around a focal plane can be selectively detected, and it enables us to measure the liquid temperatures even at the close vicinity of the walls. As an experimental verification, a test section consists of two flat plates (for heating and cooling, respectively) separated by about 240 microns was made, and the methanol mixed with a temperature-sensitive dye, Rhodamine B, was filled in the gap between them. The measured temperature distribution across the gap showed good linearity, which is a typical characteristic of conduction heat transfer through a thin liquid layer. In result, the CLSM-LIF technique proposed in the present study was found to be a promising method to measure the local temperatures in the liquid flow field in microfluidic devices.

One of the salient nuclear fuel performance parameters for new fuel types under development is changes in fuel thickness. To test the new commercially fabricated U-10Mo monolithic plate-type fuel, an irradiation experiment was designed that consisted of multiple mini-plate capsules distributed within the Advanced Test Reactor (ATR) core, the mini-plate 1 (MP-1) experiment. Each capsule contains eight mini-plates that were either fueled or "dummy" plates. Fuel thickness changes within a fuel assembly can be characterized by measuring the gaps between the plates ultrasonically. The channel gap probe (CGP) system is designed to measure the gaps between the plates and will provide information that supports qualification of U-10Mo monolithic fuel. This study will discuss the design and the results from the use of a custom-designed CGP system for characterizing the gaps between mini-plates within the MP-1 capsules. To ensure accurate and repeatable data, acceptance and calibration procedures have been developed. Unfortunately, there is no "gold" standard measurement to compare to CGP measurements. An effort was made to use plate thickness obtained from post-irradiation measurements to derive channel gap estimates for comparison with the CGP characterization.

The full spade rudder for the high speed has advantage to prevent gap cavitation of the rudder. DSME has developed the full spade rudder and GL has carried out CFD analysis and FE analysis to confirm strength and fatigue for DSME and Owner. Necessarily, it needs to compare rudder torque & rudder force between CFD, FE analysis and full scale measurement. This report introduces the measurement method and application of strain gauge for measuring the rudder torque and rudder force for the 8,400 TEU container ship.

The study on the measurement method of the aerodynamic performance of a turbo compressor was conducted. It is well known that the performance and the efficiency of the compressor can be calculated from the temperature and pressure distribution in each stage of the compressor. In the past Pitot tubes and thermocouples were used to measure pressure and temperature respectively, and recently pressure and temperature rake is used in order to decrease the measuring time and the number of measurement. The miniature total pressure rake which is available in the compressor with a small axial gap is designed and is under development.

Recently, the rheology on the fluidity of materials has been progressed remarkably. Viscosity measurement for precision-accuracy has needed very important to measure the rheological properties of materials in the field of chemistry-fiber, paint, printing-ink, plastics, rubber, foodstuff-industry, etc. And many methods of measurement have been developed lately. So in this experimental study, small capacity torque transducer with type of strain gage, different method against other existing viscometers, measured viscosity about a liquid that has flowing characteristics of newtonian liquid. Using the assumed computational equation of viscosity, it has same value of viscosity in each different radius of rotating cylinder. In the result, this equipment will be used in the viscosity measurement of a liquid taking flowing characteristics of newtonian liquid.

The bow of the nuclear fuel assembly is a well-known phenomenon. One of the vital criteria during the history of nuclear fuel development has been fuel assembly's mechanical stability. Once present, the fuel assembly bow can lead to safety issues like excessive water gap and power redistribution or even incomplete rod insertion (IRI). The extensive bow can result in assembly handling and loading problems. This is why the fuel assembly's bow is one of the most often controlled geometrical factors during periodic fuel inspections for VVER when compared e.g. to on-site fuel rod gap measurements or other instrumental measurements performed on-site. Our proposed screening method uses existing video records for fuel inspection. We establish video frames normalization and aggregation for the purposes of bow measurement. The whole process is done by digital image processing algorithms which analyze rotations of video frames, extract angles whose source is the fuel set torsion, and reconstruct torsion schema. This approach provides results comparable to the commonly utilized method. We tested this new approach in real operation on 19 fuel assemblies with different campaign numbers and designs, where the average deviation from other methods was less than 2 % on average. Due to the fact, that the method has not yet been validated during full scale measurements of the fuel inspection, the preliminary results stand for that we recommend this method as a complementary part of standard bow measurement procedures to increase measurement robustness, lower time consumption and preserve or increase accuracy. After completed validation it is expected that the proposed method allows standalone fuel assembly bow measurements.

본 논문은 산업화와 교통 환경의 발달로 인해 최근 들어 발생빈도가 크게 증가되고 있는 외상성 뇌손상을 대상으로 하여, 치료적 운동의 적용에 있어 수중운동의 뇌신경 가소성에 미치는 영향과 전정-운동에 대한 영향에 대해 알아보고자 한 연구이다. 수중운동이라는 운동학적 특성을 통해 기능적 독립을 위해선 반드시 전제되어야 하는 뇌신경 가소성과 전정-운동 기능의 회복에 어떠한 영향을 주는지를 알아보기 위하여 80마리의 백서를 대상으로 4군으로 나누고, 3주간 서로 다른 방식의 운동 훈련(실험군 I: 대조군, II: 수중운동군, III: 속도 및 경사 조절 트레드밀 운동군, IV: 단순 트레드밀 운동군)을 적용하여 전정-운동 기능에 미치는 영향을 Rota-Rod 검사를 통해 알아보고, 신경가소성에 대한 영향성에 대해서는 대뇌피질에서의 GAP-43 인자를 조직면역화학적 방법으로 검사해 보았다. 연구결과, 수중운동을 적용한 군에서, 다른 군들에 비해 뇌신경 가소성에 긍정적이고도 유의한 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었으며, 전정-운동 기능 향상에 있어서도 다른 군들에 비해 유의한 향상 효과를 나타내었다. 이는 물이 가지고 있는 다양한 감각적 특성과 환경적 상황이 뇌손상으로 인해 불안정한 신체의 운동에 긍정적인 영향을 미치기 때문인 것으로 사료된다.
