Several experimental tests to simulate a reflood phase of a cold-leg LBLOCA of the APR1400 have been performed using the ATLAS facility. This paper describes the related experimental results with respect to the thermal-hydraulic behavior in the core and the system-core interactions during the reflood phase of the cold-leg LBLOCA conditions. The present descriptions will be focused on the LB-CL-09, LB-CL-11, LB-CL-14, and LB-CL-15 tests performed using the ATLAS. The LB-CL-09 is an integral effect test with conservative boundary condition; the LB-CL-11 and -14 are integral effect tests with realistic boundary conditions, and the LB-CL-15 is a separated effect test. The objectives of these tests are to investigate the thermal-hydraulic behavior during an entire reflood phase and to provide reliable experimental data for validating the LBLOCA analysis methodology for the APR1400. The initial and boundary conditions were obtained by applying scaling ratios to the MARS simulation results for the LBLOCA scenario of the APR1400. The ECC water flow rate from the safety injection tanks and the decay heat were simulated from the start of the reflood phase. The simulated core power was controlled to be 1.2 times that of the ANS-73 decay heat curve for LB-CL-09 and 1.02 times that of the ANS-79 decay curve for LB-CL-11, -14, and -15. The simulated ECC water flow rate from the high pressure safety injection pump was 0.32 kg/s. The present experimental data showed that the cladding temperature behavior is closely related to the collapsed water level in the core and the downcomer.

박테리아를 토양과 같은 다공성 매질에 주입시키고 적절한 기질과 영양분을 공급시키면 박테리아는 매질의 표면에 부착하여 성장한다. 그 결과 바이오필름이 생성되어 공극의 크기가 감소하여 매질의 투수계수가 감소되며, 오염물질을 분해시키는 생물학적 오염분해 능력을 갖게 된다. 본 연구는 투수계수가 비교적 큰 모래와 화강풍화토에 박테리아를 접종, 배양한 후 토양의 투수계수의 변화를 측정하였으며, 배양된 바이오필름의 화학물질에 대한 저항성 및 온도변화에 대한 내구성 실험을 통해 대용 차수재로의 가능성을 평가하였다. 또한 bio-barrier의 유기물질 분해능 및 bio-barrier의 두께에 따른 미생물의 생장도를 column test를 통하여 측정하여 bio-barrier 내에서의 기질의 이동 및 생분해와 박테리아 농도의 분포 변화간의 관계를 제시하였다.

본 연구에서는 금정산 불국사화강암지역의 19개 시추공(직경 3" 6개공과 직경 6" 13개공)에서 순간충격 시험을 실시하고, 세 가지 순간충격시험방법(Cooper-Bredehoeft-Papadopulos법, Hvorslev법, Bouwer & Rice법)으로 수리적 매개변수들을 결정하였다. 각 시험공의 수리적 특성은 시추코어자료와 연계하여 평가하였다. 연구지역을 네 개의 소구역으로 나누어 각 구역에 대한 수리적 매개변수의 차이도 비교하였다. 또한, 세 가지 순간충격시험분석으로 구해진 수리상수들간의 관련성을 검토하였다. 슬러그의 주입과 회수에 의해서 발생하는 수리전도도의 차이는 시험공 주변의 투수성 균열의 분포와 슬러그의 압력변화에서 발생하는 세립질 물질의 교란 및 침전에서 유래하는 것으로 판단된다. 세 가지 순간충격시험분석으로 구한 수리전도도값은 $10^{-8}$~$10^{-5}$m/sec의 범위를 보이며, 평균값은 $10^{-7}$~$10^{-5}$m/s의 범위를 보인다. 또한, 투수량계수는 $10^{-7}$~$10^{-5}$$m^2$/sec의 범위를 보인다. Cooper-Bredehoeft-Papadopulos(C-B-P)법, Hvorslev법, Bouwer & Rice법으로 구한 평균 수리전도도를 서로 비교하면, Hvorslev법으로 구한 수리전도도가 가장 크고, 다음으로는 Bouwer & Rice법, C-B-P법으로 나타난다.

In this study, injection flow rates and material of the solenoid sealing of the injectors were improved for the development of a di-methyl Ether(DME) common-rail system. To deliver the same amount of energy provided by injection pressure of diesel $P_{inj}$ = 160 MPa, the DME injectors need to have larger diameter of nozzle hole and more No. of hole at low injection pressure of $P_{inj}$ = 40~50 MPa. The simplified nozzle flow model, which takes account of nozzle geometry and injection condition, was employed in order to design the concept of a injector nozzle such as No. of hole, diameter of hole and diameter of needle seat, etc. Injection amount and rate were tested by diesel and DME test stand. As a result, the diameter of nozzle hole were enlarged by 0.25 mm. The diameter of the orifice in the high pressure line was increased by 1.0 mm to maintain hydraulic force in the nozzle. The material of the solenoid sealing was changed to HNBR, which was strong against the corrosive. Experimental results showed that the injection amount of the DME injector drastically increased by 191.9% comparison to that of diesel at $P_{inj}$ = 40 MPa.

In this study, die turning injection(DTI) mold design for manufacturing reservoir fluid tanks used for cooling in-vehicle batteries, inverters, and motors was conducted based on multi-field CAE. Part design, performance evaluation, and mold design of the reservoir fluid tank was performed. The frequency response characteristics through modal and harmonic response analysis to satisfy the automotive performance test items for the designed part were examined. Analysis of re-melting characteristics and structural analysis of the driving part for designing the rotating die of the DTI mold were performed. Part design was possible when the natural frequency performance value of 32Hz or higher was satisfied through finite element analysis, and the temperature distribution and deformation characteristics of the part after injection molding were found through the first injection molding analysis. In addition, it can be seen that the temperature change of the primary part greatly influences the re-melting characteristics during the secondary injection. The minimum force for driving the turning die of the designed mold was calculated through structural analysis. Hydraulic system design was possible. Finally, a precise and efficient DTI mold design for the reservoir fluid tank was possible through presented multi-field CAE process.

사용 압력 범위에서 고압 수소 탱크의 내구성을 검증하기 위해서는 수압 파열 시험이 수행되어야 한다. 그런데 물의 초기 주입 과정에서 물과 공기의 상호작용에 의해 생성된 기포가 탱크 내벽에 부착되어 잔류할 경우, 가압된 탱크가 파열되는 과정에서 기포의 급격한 압력 변화로 인해 큰 충격과 소음이 유발된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 단순화된 수식을 통하여 탱크 내벽에 잔류하는 기포를 제거하기 위해 필요한 유속을 예측하였으며, 수소 버스용수소 용기 형상을 기준으로 해당 유속을 유지하기 위한 주입 노즐의 형상을 결정하였다. 또한 입구 압력에 따른 유속 변화를 예측하기 위하여 수치 해석 모델의 개발이 수행되었고, 예측 결과의 타당성을 입증하기 위하여 모형 제작을 통한 실험이 수행되었다. 실험 결과, 탱크 벽면 근처의 유속은 해석모델 예측 값과 유사하게 나타났으며, 입구 압력이 1.5 ~ 5.5 bar 일 경우 제거 가능한 기포의 최소 크기는 약 2.2 ~ 4.6 mm로 예측되었다.

열수력 종합효과 실험장치인 ATLAS가 한국원자력연구원에 구축되었으며, 최근 대형 냉각재 상실사고(LBLOCA)시의 재관수 현상에 대한 시험이 본격적으로 수행되었다. LBLOCA 재관수 단계에서 APR1400의 열수력 현상을 제대로 모사하기 위해서는 안전주입수 유량이 척도비에 맞춰 축척되어야 한다. 또한 ATLAS 장치에는 안전주입탱크(SIT) 내부께 자동제어 유량조절기구인 Fluidic Device가 장착되지 않았기 때문에 SIT의 고유량 및 저유량 주입 성능을 모사하기 위한 별도의 방안이 마련되어야 한다. 따라서 ATLAS의 주입 성능을 기준 발전소인 APR1400의 성능과 일치시키기 위하여 ATLAS 안전주입탱크의 특성 시험을 수행하였다. ATLAS SIT의 고유량 주입 성능은 주입 배관에 최적의 Orifice를 설치하여 일치시키고, 저유량 주입 성능은 유량조절밸브의 개도를 조절함으로써 일치시킬 수 있었다. 이러한 특성 시험을 통해 ATLAS 안전주입계통이 APR1400에서 요구하는 SIT 고유량 및 저유량을 잘 모의할 수 있다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

The first-ever integral effect test for simulating a guillotine break of a DVI (Direct Vessel Injection) line of the APR1400 was carried out with the ATLAS (Advanced Thermal-hydraulic Test Loop for Accident Simulation) from the same prototypic pressure and temperature conditions as those of the APR1400. The major thermal hydraulic behaviors during a DVI line break accident were identified and investigated experimentally. A method for estimating the break flow based on a balance between the change in RCS inventory and the injection flow is proposed to overcome a direct break low measurement deficiency. A post-test calculation was performed with a best-estimate safety analysis code MARS 3.1 to examine its prediction capability and to identify any code deficiencies for the thermal hydraulic phenomena occurring during the DVI line break accidents. On the whole, the prediction of the MARS code shows a good agreement with the measured data. However, the code predicted a higher core level than did the data just before a loop seal clearing occurs, leading to no increase in the peak cladding temperature. The code also produced a more rapid decrease in the downcomer water level than was predicted by the data. These observable disagreements are thought to be caused by uncertainties in predicting countercurrent flow or condensation phenomena in a downcomer region. The present integral effect test data will be used to support the present conservative safety analysis methodology and to develop a new best-estimate safety analysis methodology for DVI line break accidents of the APR1400.

This study is aimed at cutting down the cost, weight and improving process by replacing the traditional sintered piston of the shock absorber with engineering plastic piston by means of injection molding. To obtain the high mechanical properties, glass fiber material was selected adequately and forming analysis considering fiber orientation was made to remove the forming deficit fators and to construct the optimal runner system. In addition, structural analysis using commercial software MOLDFLOW was performed under near conditions in actual driving of automotive. The results from the internal pressure process test, oilproof test based on forming, structural and strength analysis shows that hydraulic close performance and damping force considering the out of roundness of shock absorber are relatively good.

The accumulator is a passive safety injection device for emergency core cooling systems. As an important safety feature for providing a high-speed injection flow to the core by compressed nitrogen gas pressure during a loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA), the accumulator injects its precharged nitrogen into the system after its coolant has been emptied. Attention has been drawn to the possible negative effects caused by such a nitrogen injection in passive safety nuclear power plants. Although some experimental work on the nitrogen injection has been done, there have been no comparative tests in which the effects on the system responses and the core safety have been clearly assessed. In this study, a new thermal hydraulic integral test facility-the advanced core-cooling mechanism experiment (ACME)-was designed and constructed to support the CAP1400 safety review. The ACME test facility was used to study the nitrogen injection effects on the system responses to the small break loss-of-coolant accident LOCA (SBLOCA) transient. Two comparison test groups-a 2-inch cold leg break and a double-ended direct-vessel-injection (DEDVI) line break-were conducted. Each group consists of a nitrogen injection test and a nitrogen isolation comparison test with the same break conditions. To assess the nitrogen injection effects, the experimental data that are representative of the system responses and the core safety were compared and analyzed. The results of the comparison show that the effects of nitrogen injection on system responses and core safety are significantly different between the 2-inch and DEDVI breaks. The mechanisms of the different effects on the transient were also investigated. The amount of nitrogen injected, along with its heat absorption, was likewise evaluated in order to assess its effect on the system depressurization process. The results of the comparison and analyses in this study are important for recognizing and understanding the potential negative effects on the passive core cooling performance caused by nitrogen injection during the SBLOCA transient.
