Hydrogen-steam gas mixture may be injected into containment with flow regime varying both spatially and transiently due to wall effect and pressure difference between primary loop and containment in severe accidents induced by loss of coolant accident. Preliminary CFD analysis is conducted to gain information about the helium flow regime transition process from jet to buoyancy plume for forthcoming experimental study. Physical models of impinging jet and wall condensation are validated using separated effect experimental data, firstly. Then helium transportation is analyzed with the effect of jet momentum, buoyancy and wall cooling discussed. Result shows that helium distribution is totally dominated by impinging jet in the beginning, high concentration appears near gas source and wall where jet momentum is strong. With the jet weakening, stable light gas layer without recirculating eddy is established by buoyancy. Transient reversed helium distribution appears due to natural convection resulted from wall cooling, which delays the stratification. It is necessary to concern about hydrogen accumulation in lower space under the containment external cooling strategy. From the perspective of experiment design, measurement point should be set at the height of connecting pipe and near the wall for stratification stability criterion and impinging jet modelling validation.

As an ozone contactor, we newly adopted HJLR (High-performance Jet Loop Reactor) for the decolorization of Reactive black 5 and the mineralization of oxalic acid, which has been applied exclusively in biological wastewater treatments and well-known for high oxygen transfer characteristics. The ozonation efficiency for organic removals and ozone utilization depending on the mass transfer rate were compared to those of Stirred bubble column reactor, which was controlled by varing energy input in the HJLR and Stirred bubble column reactor. The results were as follows; first, the decolorization rate of Reactive black 5 in the HJLR reactor was nearly proportional to the increasing $k_La$. When the $k_La$ was increased by 25 % from $13.0hr^{-1}$ to $16.4hr^{-1}$, 30 % of the k' (apparent reaction rate constant) was increased from 0.1966 to $0.2665min^{-1}$ (Stirred bubble column; from 0.1790 to $0.2564min^{-1}$). Ozone transfer was found to be a rate-determining step in decolorizing Reactive black 5, which was supported by that no residual ozone was detected in all of the experiments. Second, the mineralization of oxalic acid was not always proportional to the increasing $k_La$ in the RJLR reactor. The rate-determining step for this reaction was OH(OH radical) production with ozone transfer, because residual ozone was always detected during the ozonation of oxalic acid in contrast with Reactive black 5. This result indicates that the increase of $k_La$ in the HJLR reactor is beneficial only when there are in ozone transfer limited regions. In addition, regardless of $k_La$, the mineralization of oxalic acid was nearly accomplished within 60 minutes. It was interpreted as that the longer staying of residual ozone by whirling liquid in the HJLR reactor contributed to an high ozone utilization(83-94%), producing more OR radicals.

In this study, in order to apply the air and pure oxygen in the Jet Loop Reactor (JLB) in which the oxygen transfer rate is high, differentiate the operation mode according to each air flowrate and liquid flowrate and investigate the oxygen transfer characteristic, an experiment was carried out. The oxygen concentration with the air flowrate ($Q_g$) and liquid flowrate ($Q_L$) was identical but the oxygen transfer coefficient ($K_L{\cdot}a$) is linear depending on degree of two factors. The width of an increase is small in $0.1min^{-1}$ when the air flowrate is 0.2 L/min with increasing the liquid flowrate. Whereas, the increment was exposed to be very high for $1.5min^{-1}$ when the air flowrate was 5 L/min. In the experiments using the pure oxygen, it was 30 mg/L of oxygen concentration finally and it was 3.5 times than using the air. But the time reached the saturated concentration was similar to using the air, and $K_L{\cdot}a$ was similar to using the air too. Analysis between two independent variable and oxygen transfer of the correlation is the same model like $K_L{\cdot}a={0.0161Q_L}^{1.5371}{Q_g}^{0.5433}$ using with coefficient non linear regression analysis. It was resulted that the liquid flowrate were approximately three times than air flowrate on effect to oxygen transfer rate.

For the effective treatment of dye-processing wastewater, JLR(Jet-Loop Reactor) with active carbon supports were investigated. BOD removal efficiency was found as 99% when influent BOD concentration of dye-processing wastewater was 400 mg/L. $COD_{Mn}$ of effluent removal efficiencies were found as 86${\sim}$ 89% when these of activated sludge reactor were 62${\sim}$72%. Also, color removal efficiencies were found as 84${\sim}$87% when these of activated sludge reactor were 72%${\sim}$77%. After JLR with active carbon supports had been used, all of the $COD_{Mn}$, $COD_{Cr}$ and color removal efficiencies Increased when chemical precipitation was done. Consequently, JLR with active carbon supports was proved to be more excellent than the activated sludge reactor.

We investigated the performance of a jet loop reactor (JLR) with the two-fluid venturi-type swirl nozzle (TVSN) during experiment for ammonia removal by air stripping from a synthetic wastewater, and compared it with that of a JLR with the two-fluid venturi-type conventional nozzle (TVCN), with the variation of pH, liquid circulation rate ($Q_L$), and air flow rate ($Q_G$). Their performance levels were compared based on the ammonia removal efficiency and overall mass transfer coefficient ($K_La$). Investigated parameters in a JLR were pH (10-12), air flow rate ($Q_G=5-20L\;min^{-1}$), and liquid circulation rate ($Q_L=25-35L\;min^{-1}$). Throughout the experiment, the ammonia removal efficiency and $K_La$ in a JLR with TVSN was higher than in a JLR with TVCN. This may be due to the enhanced turbulent intensity by swirling flow formed in the JLR with TVSN compared to that with TVCN. Further, we obtained higher $K_La$ when pH, $Q_L$ and $Q_G$ were increased. In particular, $K_La$ was increased more efficiently by increasing $Q_G$ than by increasing pH and $Q_L$.
