본 연구에서는 10 MW 용 라이저의 개념설계를 수행하며, 수치해석을 통하여 개념설계안에 대한 동적거동 특성을 분석한다. 전체 시스템은 크게 두 가지 개념으로 제안하며, 라이저가 자유롭게 매달린 형상을 가지는 경우에 대하여 라이저의 단면 설계를 수행한다. 라이저의 단면계수를 증가시키고, 비중을 조절하기 위하여 라이저 두께에 따라 중공을 형성하는 설계안에서는 라이저 아래 끝단에 중량체를 설치한다. 중공 없이 균일한 FRP 재질로 이루어진 라이저는 끝단 중량체 없이 자유롭게 매달린 형상으로 설계된다. 두 가지 설계 개념에 대하여 거동 특성 분석과 안전성 평가를 위하여 동적 거동해석을 수행한다. 끝단 중량체가 설치된 중공을 가지는 라이저의 응력은 중량체의 중량에 지배되는 것을 알 수 있다. 중량체 없이 자유롭게 매달린 라이저는 강한 조류가 작용하는 환경에서 파랑 및 부유체 가진이 작용하는 경우에, 해수면 부근에 응력이 집중되는 것을 알 수 있다. 자유롭게 매달린 대구경 라이저의 설계에서 조류는 매우 중요한 설계 요소라는 것을 알 수 있으며, 라이저 하부 끝단에 중량체를 설치함으로써 응력을 일부 줄일 수 있다는 것으로 나타났다.

An experimental investigation has been peformed to examine the effects of various geometrical parameters and an initial operating condition on the air-water countercurrent How limitation (CCFL) in a simulated PWR hot leg. A total of 118 experimental data for the onset of CCFL and zero liquid penetration were obtained for various combinations of test parameters. It was observe that the CCFL can be classified into three different categories: (the onset of CCFL, (the partial liquid delivery, and (r) the zero liquid penetration. The observed mechanisms of the onset of CCFL were different depending on the inlet water flow rate. The parametric effects of pipe diameter, horizontal pipe length, horizontal pipe length-to-diameter (L/D) ratio, and initial water level in the horizontal pipe of the test section on the onset of air-water CCFL were also examined. An empirical correlation for the onset of CCFL in a horizontal pipe connected to an inclined riser was developed in terms of Wallis flooding parameters for the low inlet water flow rate region. Comparisons of the present empirical correlation with the air-water CCFL data of large pipe diameters show that the present correlation agrees more closely with the experimental data than the existing CCFL correlations.

This paper presents a laboratory experiment on data acquisition technique that applied to the gamma radiation scanning coupled with computed tomography (CT) technique for inspection of broken nozzle inside the vertical vessel. The acquisition technique was developed to inspect a large diameter vessel when suspicious problem location is not easily accessed. This technique allows the installation of gamma radiation source (Cesium 137, Cs-137), and detectors (Sodium Iodine. NaI(Tl)) from the accessible location to the required location and performs the scanning by designed pattern. To demonstrate the designed technique, top opened tank which installed with six cut steel pipes diameter of 76.2 mm (3") at a certain position was selected. They were assumed to be a gas riser pipes inside the vessel. Three studied cases were performed, (a) projection of well installed six pipes, (b) projection of one out of six broken pipe and (c) one of nozzle was assumed to be failure and fell down until one out of six pipes was broken and obstructed by nozzle. Results clearly indicated the capability of developed technique to distinguish between normal situation case and abnormal situation cases.

The abundant nutrients contained in deep seawater are delivered by natural upwellings from the deep sea to the surface sea. However, the natural upwelling phenomenon is limited to specific areas of the sea; in other areas, the thermocline separates the surface sea from the lower layer. Thus, the surface layer is often deficient in nutritive salts, causing the deterioration of its primary productivity and ultimately leading to an imbalance in the marine ecosystem. Without a consistent supply of nitrogenous nutritive salts, they are absorbed by phytoplankton, resulting in a considerable problem in primary productivity. To solve this issue, a floating type of artificial upwelling system is suggested to artificially pump up, distribute, and diffuse deep seawater containing rich nutritive salts. The key technologies for developing such a floating artificial upwelling system are a floating offshore structure with a large diameter riser, self-supplying energy system, density current generating system, method for estimating the emission and absorption of CO2, and way to evaluate the primary production variation. Strengthening the primary production of the sea by supplying deep seawater to the sea surface will result in a sea environment with abundant fishery resources.
