For the development of superconducting fault current limiters(SFCLs) having large current capacity, we fabricated an SFCL element that consists of Bi-2212 superconductor and Cu-Ni alloy tubes. First, Ag was plated on the surface of the Bi-2212 for the enhancement of soldering process. On the Ag-plated Bi-2212 tube, a Cu-Ni alloy tube was soldered using optimized solders and soldering conditions. The BSCCO/Cu-Ni composite was processed mechanically to have a helical shape for the improvement of the SFCL characteristics. The total current path of the SFCL element was 1330 mm long with 12 turns, and had critical current of 340 A at 77 K. Finally, we carried out the fault test using the fabricated SFCL element. It showed successful current limiting performance under the fault condition of 50 $V_{rms}$ and 5.5 kA. From the results, the rated voltage of the SFCL element was decided to be 0.4 V/cm, and the power capacity was 12 kVA at 77 K. The fabrication process of the SFCL and the fault test results will be presented.

Miniature Joule-Thomson refrigerators have been widely used for rapid cooling of infrared detectors, probes of cryosurgery, thermal cameras, missile homing head and guidance system, due to their special features of simple configuration, compact structure and rapid cool-down characteristics. The thermodynamic performance of J-T refrigerator highly depends on the hydraulic and heat transfer characteristics of the recuperative heat exchanger. The typical recuperative heat exchanger of the J-T refrigerator has the double helical tube and fin configuration. In this study, effectiveness-NTU approach was adopted to predict the thermodynamic behaviors of the heat exchanger for the J-T refrigerator. The thermodynamic properties from the REFPROP were used to account the real gas effects of the gas. The results show the effect of the operating conditions on the performance of the heat exchanger and refrigerator for the given heat exchanger. The influences of mass flow rate and the supply pressure on the effectiveness of heat exchanger and the ideal cooling capacity are discussed in details.

The flow in the draft tube cone of Francis turbines operated at partial discharge is a complex hydrodynamic phenomenon where an incoming steady axisymmetric swirling flow evolves into a three-dimensional unsteady flow field with precessing helical vortex (also called vortex rope) and associated pressure fluctuations. The paper addresses the following fundamental question: is it possible to compute the circumferentially averaged flow field induced by the precessing vortex rope by using an axisymmetric turbulent swirling flow model? In other words, instead of averaging the measured or computed 3D velocity and pressure fields we would like to solve directly the circumferentially averaged governing equations. As a result, one could use a 2D axi-symmetric model instead of the full 3D flow simulation, with huge savings in both computing time and resources. In order to answer this question we first compute the axisymmetric turbulent swirling flow using available solvers by introducing a stagnant region model (SRM), essentially enforcing a unidirectional circumferentially averaged meridian flow as suggested by the experimental data. Numerical results obtained with both models are compared against measured axial and circumferential velocity profiles, as well as for the vortex rope location. Although the circumferentially averaged flow field cannot capture the unsteadiness of the 3D flow, it can be reliably used for further stability analysis, as well as for assessing and optimizing various techniques to stabilize the swirling flow. In particular, the methodology presented and validated in this paper is particularly useful in optimizing the blade design in order to reduce the stagnant region extent, thus mitigating the vortex rope and expending the operating range for Francis turbines.

In this work, oil-in-water emulsions (O/W) were prepared successfully by membrane emulsification with $0.5{\mu}m$ pore size membrane. Sunflower oil was emulsified in aqueous Tween80 solution with a simple crossflow apparatus equipped with ceramic tube membrane. In order to increase the shear-stress near the membrane wall, a helical-shaped reducer was installed within the lumen side of the tube membrane. This method allows the reduction of continuous phase flow and the increase of dispersed phase flux, for cost effective production. Results were compared with the conventional cross-flow membrane emulsification method. Monodisperse O/W emulsions were obtained using tubular membrane with droplet size in the range $3.3-4.6{\mu}m$ corresponded to the membrane pore diameter of $0.5{\mu}m$. The final aim of this study is to obtain O/W emulsions by simple membrane emulsification method without reducer and compare the results obtained by membrane equipped with helix shaped reducer. To indicate the results statistical methods, $3^p$ type full factorial experimental designs were evaluated, using software called STATISTICA. For prediction of the flux, droplet size and PDI a mathematical model was set up which can describe well the dependent variables in the studied range, namely the run of the flux and the mean droplet diameter and the effects of operating parameters. The results suggested that polynomial model is adequate for representation of selected responses.

An Experimental study was conducted on spray combustion using dual swirlers at different outlet angle; co-swirl and counter-swirl. To understand the characteristics of turbulent spray combustion of dual swirl flow (DSF), the axial helical annular vaned swirlers with various swirl ratios and combination of angle and direction were designed. and temperature measurements of a rapidly thermocouple insertion and measurements of soot volume fraction and microrstructure using thermophoretic sampling particle diagnostic (TSPD) as TEM were carried out. The NOx, $CO_2$, $O_2$, etc. was analyzed using emission gas analyzer. The results show that flame stability were maintained under very lean condition. for both co-swirl and counter-swirl case. And though Counter-swirl case kept the higher temperature region compared to co-swirl case, Counter-swirl combustion represented less NOx emission and soot formation than co-swirl case.

The data for friction factor of the pipe correlated by Reynolds number and relative roughness have been reported well as a Moody chart. However, the results for corrugated shapes have been not investigated sufficiently. In this research, therefore, the pressure drop and friction factor are obtained. Flexible metal tubes with corrugations for the measurement are made of stainless steel plates. The kinds of tubes for the measurement are 5 annular types and helical types. The pressure drop & the velocity of the flow are obtained by micromanometer & digital pressure sensor, supplying dry air at several steps. Then the pressure drop is calculated for each tube, using the obtained data. The result shows that the pressure drop is strongly influenced by the viscous dissipation of kinetic energy due to the circulation of flows, rather than a viscous friction loss. The pressure drop increased consistently as the Reynolds number increases.

64 multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT)에서 두개부의 과도한 선량이 문제가 되어 고정관류기법과 관전류 자동노출조절(automatic exposure control, AEC) 기법을 이용하여 선량 감소 정도를 비교 평가하고자 한다. 연구에 사용한 장비는 Siemens사의 SOMATOM Definition 64 multi-detector CT를 이용했으며, Whole body phantom (KUPBU-50, Kyoto Kagaku CO. Ltd)의 두개부를 사용했다. 실험 protocol은 helical scan 방식을 적용하여 120 kVp, rotation time은 1 sec, slice thickness와 increment는 각각 5 mm, FOV는 250 mm, matrix size는 $512{\times}512$, collimation은 $64{\times}0.625\;mm$, pitch는 1로 조사하였다. 선량감소효과의 측정방법은 관전류를 350 mAs로 고정한 방법과 AEC 기법을 적용한 방법으로 나누어 평가하였으며, 영상품질은 CT number의 표준편차를 이용하여 영상의 잡음을 측정하였다. 이 때 두개부(craniofacial bone)는 머리덮개뼈(calvaria) 끝부분에서 눈썹활(superciliary ridge)까지를 1구역, 논썹활 아래부터 코가시점(acanthion)까지를 2구역, 그리고 코가시점 아래부터 턱(mentum)끝까지를 3구역으로 정의하여 측정하였다. 고정관류기법에서 구역별로 CTDIvol은 57.7 mGy였으며, DLP는 $640.2\;mGy{\cdot}cm$로 동일하였다. AEC 기법을 적용한 1구역은 CTDIvol: 30.7 mGy, DLP: $340.7\;mGy{\cdot}cm$, 2구역은 CTDIvol: 46.5 mGy, DLP: $515.0\;mGy{\cdot}cm$, 그리고 3구역은 CTDIvol: 30.3 mGy, DLP: $337.0\;mGy{\cdot}cm$으로 나타났다. 영상품질을 나타내는 CT number의 표준편차는 1구역에서 고정 관류기법은 2.6, AEC 기법은 3.0, 2구역에서 고정 관류기법은 3.1, AEC 기법은 3.4, 3구역에서 고정 관류기법은 2.7, AEC 기법은 3.2으로 측정되었다. 64 MDCT에서의 AEC 기법은 기존의 고정관류법에 비해 안구, 이하선 그리고 갑상선 부위에 대해 큰 선량 감소효과가 나타났으며, 두개부의 방사선량을 감소시키는데 매우 유용한 기법으로 사료된다.

열교환기의 나선형 튜브에 난류모형을 적용하여 유동해석을 수행하였다. 난류모형은 Spalart-Allmaras과 k-${\varepsilon}$이고 시뮬레이션에는 정렬격자를 적용하였다. 레이놀즈 수 영향을 규명하기 위하여 Navier-Stokes 방정식을 풀어 속도벡터, 압력, 잔차, 마찰계수를 재연하였다. 나선형튜브는 원심력을 증가하여 튜브의 바깥부분에 벽전단 응력을 크게 하였다. 열전도율과 마찰저항의 증가는 곡률에 기인하며 튜브의 내부방향으로는 벽 전단응력이 감소했다. 원심력은 유체의 에너지를 증가시켜서 바깥쪽으로 열전도율을 증가시켰고 이는 내부유동의 압력강하 및 관마찰계수가 상호 밀접한 관계가 있음을 규명하여 주었다. 본 수치결과는 검증을 위하여 타 계산에서 얻어진 마찰계수 결과와 비교하였다.

Once-through helically coiled steam generator tubes subjected to external pressure are of interest because of their application to advanced small- and medium-sized integral reactors, in which a primary coolant with a relatively higher pressure flows outside the tubes, while secondary water with a relatively lower pressure flows inside the tubes. Another notable point is that the values of the mean radius to thickness ratio of these steam generator tubes are very small, which means that a thick-walled cylinder is employed for these steam generator tubes. In the present paper, the maximum allowable pressure of helically coiled and thick-walled steam generator tubes with through-wall cracks under external pressure is investigated based on a detailed nonlinear three-dimensional finite element analysis. In terms of the crack orientation, either circumferential or axial through-wall cracks are considered. In particular, in order to quantify the effect of the crack location on the maximum external pressure, these cracks are assumed to be located in the intrados, extrados, and flank of helically coiled cylinders. Moreover, an evaluation is also made of how the maximum external pressure is affected by the ovality, which might be inherently induced during the tube coiling process used to fabricate the helically coiled steam generator tubes.

비대칭 3차원 핀틀 노즐 형상에서 연소실과 핀틀 노즐의 연결관 각도와 핀틀 위치가 성능계수에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위해 3차원 수치해석을 수행하였다. 초음속 노즐을 통해 배출되는 유동 특성을 정확히 예측하기 위하여 $k-{\omega}$ SST의 압축성 보정 난류모델을 적용하였다. 비대칭 3차원 형상에 의한 복잡한 유동 구조로 인하여 나선형 형태의 유선과 유동 박리가 관찰되었으며, 이로 인하여 유동의 전압력 손실이 크게 발생되었다. 유입관의 각도가 감소할수록 성능계수가 증가하였으며, 핀틀의 위치에 따른 유동구조가 크게 변화되기 때문에 이에 대한 성능 특성을 분석하였다.
