The grain boundary etching method as a method for assessing degradation of structural materials has received much attention because it is simple, inexpensive and easy to apply to real components. In this study, the effectiveness of the method is verified by successfully applying the technique to in-service components of aged fossil power plants such as main steam pipes, boiler headers an turbine rotors. A new degradation parameter, intersecting number ratio (N$_{1}$/N$_{0}$), is employed. The intersecting number ratio (N$_{1}$/N$_{0}$) is defined as the ratio of intersection number (N$_{1}$) obtained from 5-minute picric acid etched surface to the number (N$_{0}$) obtained from nital etched surface. Two kinds of test materials, 2.25Cr-1Mo steel and 1Cr-1Mo-0.25V steel, were artificially thermal-aged at 630.deg. C in different levels of degradation., (N$_{1}$/N$_{0}$) were measured. And, correlations between the measured values and LMP values calculated from aging temperature and aging time were sought. To check the validity of the correlations obtained in laboratory, similar data were measured from service components in four old Korean fossil power plants. These on-site measurement data were in good correlation with those obtained in the laboratory.oratory.

In this study, the fiber orientation distribution (FOD) is investigated using both micro-CT (computerized tomography) and image analysis of physically cut specimens prepared from Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) fiber reinforced cemented Toyoura sand. The micro-CT images of the fiber reinforced cemented sand specimens were visualized in horizontal and vertical sections. Scans were obtained using a frame rate of two frames and an exposure time of 500 milliseconds. The number of images was set to optimize and typically resulted in approximately 3000 images. Then, the angles of the fibers for horizontal sections and in vertical section were calculated using the VGStudio MAX software. The number of fibers intersecting horizontal and vertical sections are counted using these images. A similar approach was used for physically cut specimens. The variation of results of fiber orientation between micro-CT scans and visual count were approximately 4-8%. The micro-CT scans were able to precisely investigate the fiber orientation distribution of fibers in these samples. The results show that 85-90% of the PVA fibers are oriented between ±30° of horizontal, and approximately 95% of fibers have an orientation that lies within ±45° of the horizontal plane. Finally, a comparison of experimental results with the generalized fiber orientation distribution function 𝜌(θ) is presented for isotropic and anisotropic distribution in fiber reinforced cemented Toyoura sand specimens. Experimentally, it can be seen that the average ratio of the number of fibers intersecting the finite area on a vertical plane to number of fibers intersecting the finite area on a horizontal plane (N^V_tot/N^H_tot) cut through a sample varies from 2.08 to 2.12 (an average ratio of 2.10 is obtained in this study). Based up on the analytical predictions, it can be seen that the average N^V_tot/N^H_tot ratio varies from 2.13 to 2.17 for varying n values (an average ratio of 2.15).

본 연구에서는 수치모델링을 통해 단열의 교차각과 같은 기하학적 특징이 교차점에서의 유동특성과 용질의 혼합·분배에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. Pe(Peclect number; 이류와 확산의 상대적인 비)뿐만이 아니라 단열의 교차각이 교차점에서의 용질의 혼합·분배모델을 결정하는데 있어 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 교차각이 90°미만인 경우, 주입된 유동방향과 동일한 방향의 유출구로 진행하기 때문에 교차점에서 양쪽 주입구에서 온 유선들의 접촉을 용이하게 한다. 반면, 교차각이 90°보다 큰 경우 유체가 주입된 유동방향과 유출구의 방향이 반대이기 때문에, 교차점에 두 주입구에서 온 유선들 간의 접촉은 최소화 되었다. 그러므로 전자의 경우에서는 높은 Pe에서도 용질의 혼합이, 후자에서는 낮은 Pe에서도 유선경로에 따른 용질의 이동이 나타났다. 따라서 Pe < 1의 경우, 완전혼합모델이 지배적인 것으로 알려졌지만, 교차각이 150°인 경우 교차점에서 혼합뿐만이 아니라 일부는 유선의 경로를 따라 유출구로 유출되었다. 전반적으로 Pe가 0.1 - 100에서 완전혼합모델에서 유선경로모델로의 전이가 나타났지만, 이는 교차각에 따라 크게 달라진다. 교차각이 클수록(≧ 150°) Pe가 0.1 - 10에서, 교차각이 작을수록(≦ 30°) Pe가 10 - 100에서 전이가 발생하였다. Pe > 100에서는 교차각과 상관없이 유선경로모델이 더 지배적인 것으로 나타났다. Pe > 1,000에서는 교차각이 150°이상인 경우에만 100% 유선경로모델이 나타나며, 교차각이 150°미만인 경우 유선경로모델이 지배적이지만 여전히 교차점에서 용질의 혼합이 발생하였다.

This study conducts shape optimization of rib turbulator on the internal cooling passage that has triangular cross-section of high pressure turbine nozzle. During optimization, various types of rib turbulator including angled, V-shaped, A-shaped and angled rib with intersecting rib are considered. Each type of rib turbulator is parameterized with attack angle(s), rib height, spacing ratio and bending/intersecting location. For optimization, Design of Experiment (DOE) and Kriging surrogate model are used to utilize computational resource more efficiently and Genetic Algorithm (GA) is used to search the optimum points. As a result, Pareto front of each type of rib turbulator with friction factor that relates to pressure drop in cooling passage and spatially averaged Nusselt number that relates to heat transfer on the wall is drawn and optimum points on the Pareto front are suggested.
