Molded Case Circuit Breakers (MCCBs) are typically used to provide over current protection for electrical safety caused by short circuit faults and overloads in indoor low voltage power systems. The MCCB automatically connects and disconnects loads from the electrical source when the current reaches a value and duration that will cause an excessive. However, the MCCB sometimes is not interrupted due to a malfunction, nuisance tripping, or in a fire. Ensuring electrical safety is very important in a indoor low voltage power system. This paper presents the operating characteristics of MCCBs according to a temperature rise from room temperature to 160 degrees Celsius delivered by a radiant panel heater. The ABS 54c(rated current: 30A) of the hydraulic magnetic trip type was used in the experiments. The signals of temperature, voltage, and current were measured using the high accuracy Signal Conditioning Extensions for Instrumentation (SCXI) measurement system with the LabVIEW program manufactured by National Instruments. The operating characteristics were measured as functions of current amplitude and ramp-up rate. The MCCB tripping time decreased as a result of increasing current amplitude and ramp-up rate under a temperature rise condition, because the temperature and level of the current are directly proportional to the tripping time. Additionally, an instantaneous operation was observed after 8 times of the rated current, and the MCCB began to melt a surface temperature of around 300 degrees Celsius of. The experimental results coincided well with the operating curve.

In order to analyze thermal hydraulic phenomena during a DVI (Direct Vessel Injection) line break LOCA (Loss-of-Coolant Accident) in the APR1400 (Advanced Power Reactor 1400 MWe), we performed experimental studies with the SNUF (Seoul National University Facility), a reduced-height and reduce-pressure integral test loop with a scaled down APR1400. We performed experiments dealing with eight test cases under varied tests. As a result of the experiment, the primary system pressure, the coolant temperature, and the occurrence time of the downcomer seal clearing were affected significantly by the thermal power in the core and the SI flow rate. The break area played a dominant role in the vent of the steam. For our analytical investigation, we used the MARS code for simulation of the experiments to validate the calculation capability of the code. The results of the analysis showed good and sufficient agreement with the results of the experiment. However, the analysis revealed a weak capability in predicting the bypass flow of the SI water toward the broken DVI line, and it was insufficient to simulate the streamline contraction in the broken side. We, hence, need to improve the MARS code.

균열암반내에 시추된 7개의 양수정에서 양수시험을 실시하였다, 여기에서 각 양수율에 따른 수위강하값을 구하였으며, 비평형상태하에서의 단계양수시험은 Cooper-Jacob의 방법에 의해 양수시간을 보정하였다 양수정에서의 대수층 손실상수, 우물손실상수 및 우물손실지수(n)의 산출은 최소제곱법(method of the least square)을 이용한 회귀분석 방법을 이용하였으며, n값의 범위는 1.65∼6.48로 산출되었다. 균열암반내에 시추된 양수정의 우물손실은 케이싱이나, 시추시 발생되는 공벽의 공극감소 등의 영향보다는 방사상흐름에 따른 양수정부근에서의 난류에 의한 영향이 대부분일 것으로 해석된다. 또한 이 난류는 레이놀즈의 수(Reynolds number)에 좌우되는데, 여기에서 암반대수층내의 균열 특성이 유체의 속도를 지배하므로 정확한 n값의 산출은 암반대수층을 이해하는데 중요한 인자가 될 것이다.

The accident at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in March 2011, caused by an earthquake and a subsequent tsunami, resulted in a failure of the power systems that are needed to cool the reactors at the plant. The accident progression in the absence of heat removal systems caused Units 1-3 to undergo fuel melting. Containment pressurization and hydrogen explosions ultimately resulted in the escape of radioactivity from reactor containments into the atmosphere and ocean. Problems in containment venting operation, leakage from primary containment boundary to the reactor building, improper functioning of standby gas treatment system (SGTS), unmitigated hydrogen accumulation in the reactor building were identified as some of the reasons those added-up in the severity of the accident. The Fukushima accident not only initiated worldwide demand for installation of adequate control and mitigation measures to minimize the potential source term to the environment but also advocated assessment of the existing mitigation systems performance behavior under a wide range of postulated accident scenarios. The uncertainty in estimating the released fraction of the radionuclides due to the Fukushima accident also underlined the need for comprehensive understanding of fission product behavior as a function of the thermal hydraulic conditions and the type of gaseous, aqueous, and solid materials available for interaction, e.g., gas components, decontamination paint, aerosols, and water pools. In the light of the Fukushima accident, additional experimental needs identified for hydrogen and fission product issues need to be investigated in an integrated and optimized way. Additionally, as more and more passive safety systems, such as passive autocatalytic recombiners and filtered containment venting systems are being retrofitted in current reactors and also planned for future reactors, identified hydrogen and fission product issues will need to be coupled with the operation of passive safety systems in phenomena oriented and coupled effects experiments. In the present paper, potential hydrogen and fission product issues raised by the Fukushima accident are discussed. The discussion focuses on hydrogen and fission product behavior inside nuclear power plant containments under severe accident conditions. The relevant experimental investigations conducted in the technical scale containment THAI (thermal hydraulics, hydrogen, aerosols, and iodine) test facility (9.2 m high, 3.2 m in diameter, and $60m^3$ volume) are discussed in the light of the Fukushima accident.

Lessons learned from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident directed that multiple failures should be considered more seriously rather than single failure in the licensing bases and safety cases because attempts to take accident management measures could be unsuccessful under the high radiation environment aggravated by multiple failures, such as complete loss of electric power, uncontrollable loss of coolant inventory, failure of essential safety function recovery. In the case of the complete loss of electric power called station blackout (SBO), if there is no mitigation action for recovering safety functions, the reactor core would be overheated, and severe fuel damage could be anticipated due to the failure of the active heat sink. In such a transient condition at CANDU-6 plants, the seal failure of the primary heat transport (PHT) pumps can facilitate a consequent increase in the fuel sheath temperature and eventually lead to degradation of the fuel integrity. Therefore, it is necessary to specify the regulatory guidelines for multiple failures on a licensing basis so that licensees should prepare the accident management measures to prevent or mitigate accident conditions. In order to explore the efficiency of implementing accident management strategies for CANDU-6 plants, this study proposed a realistic accident analysis approach on the SBO transient with multiple-failure sequences such as seal failure of PHT pumps without operator's recovery actions. In this regard, a comparative study for two PHT pump seal failure modes with and without coolant seal leakage was conducted using a best-estimate code to precisely investigate the behaviors of thermal-hydraulic parameters during transient conditions. Moreover, a sensitivity analysis for different PHT pump seal leakage rates was also carried out to examine the effect of leakage rate on the system responses. This study is expected to provide the technical bases to the accident management strategy for unmitigated transient conditions with multiple failures.

최근에는 환경에 대한 인식이 높아지면서 제조 차량에서 전자식 파워 스티어링(EPS)이 조향장치로 채택되는 사례가 증가하고 있다. EPS는 스티어링 파워 향상, 유압 호스 누출 제거 및 연료 소비 감소와 같은 수많은 이점을 제공하지만, 시스템이 움직임에 반응하게 만드는 센서를 요구한다. 이는, 센서의 선형 변동성을 유지하는 것이 스티어링 반응의 안정성에 필수적임을 의미한다. 따라서 EPS의 제어 품질을 보장하기 위해 내부 설계 특성의 변화에 대한 센서의 민감도, 결함 및 선형성을 평가하기 위한 신뢰성 있는 방법이 필요하다. 본 논문은 차량속도 구간 분할을 기반으로 EPS 구성요소 결함과 선형성을 분석하는 데이터 중심 결함 및 선형성 평가 모니터링 시스템을 제안한다. EPS 테스트 지그에서 수집된 데이터를 사용하여 모니터링 시스템의 성능을 검증하였으며, 그래픽 사용자 인터페이스(GUI)를 적용하여 시스템을 개선하였다. 개발된 시스템은 설계를 기반으로 0.99% 정확도의 결함 감지 및 가변적인 차량속도에서 선형성 평가를 효과적으로 수행하였다.

The bonding performance of two types of wood adhesives, namely phenol-resorcinol-formaldehyde (PRF) resin and melamine-urea-formaldehyde (MUF) resin for glued laminated timber manufactured by high frequency (HF) heating was evaluated. The HF heating system consists of HF oscillator with dielectric heating system for curing adhesives, and hydraulic press system for clamping glued laminated timber. The designed frequency and output power of the HF system was as 5 MHz and 60 kW, respectively. To verify dielectric heating mechanism under HF oscillation, the heat loss factors of laminae and adhesives were measured. The results show that it is possible to selectively heat adhesives for their curing due to the remarkably higher loss factor of the adhesives than those of wood laminae. The temperature of adhesive in the bonding line reached up to the set temperature within a few seconds by high frequency oscillating, which advanced the curing of adhesive afterwards. The bonding performance, such as shear strength of bonding line, water soaking delamination, and boiling water soaking delamination of PRF resin met the requirement of Korean Standard (KS), however the MUF resin did not meet the KS requirement of boiling water soaking delamination. These results indicate that the HF heating system is successful to manufacture glued laminated timbers with PRF resins to meet the bonding requirements.

1990년대는 유압굴삭기의 전통적 조형이 새롭게 모색 및 재해석되는 시기로 판단되었으며, 이는 2가지 방향으로 정리될 수 있다. 하나는 유압굴삭기의 전통적 이미지에 관한 부정적 해석에서 기인한 '탈(post-heavy equipment)중기적' 경향이며, 다른 하나는 고유성 유지와 개선이라는 긍정적 해석에서 기인한 '후기(late-)중기적' 경향이다. 이는 동일한 현상을 다양하게 바라볼 수 있는 패러다임과 관련하는 것으로 사료된다. 이 시기에 개발 및 시판된 8개 연구대상 모델 중 유압굴삭기의 조형 경향은, 일본 색채디자인연구소에서 개발한 이미지스케일 3상한에서 2상한으로 변화였으며, 예외적으로 코벨코는 1상한까지 이동하는 경향이 있었다. 이는 탈중기적 이미지를 디자인 전략으로 채택하고 있는 코벨코만의 경우였다. 아울러, 인적(入的)공간으로서의 캐빈의 변화는 장비 전체의 변화에서보다 좀더 1상한으로 이동하고 있는데, 이는 물적(物的)공간과 시각적 차별화를 위한 것으로 사료되었다.
