The downward discharge of the molten fuel to the lower structure of the fuel assembly could increase of the pressure drop and degrade of coolability of the assembly. To analyze the phenomena, experiments for the generation of the debris bed were conducted as LOF-DT series. Based on the debris bed in the LOF-DT, pressure drop experiment was conducted with intact and blocked component. Parametric study on the pressure drop was conducted by CFD. The LOF-DT experiments were conducted for the position and porosity of the debris bed. 85% of the debris were sedimented in the lower reflector, and 15% were in the nose piece, approximately. Porosity of the debris bed were about 0.7 and 0.85 in the lower reflector and nose piece, respectively. Pressure drop increased significantly with debris bed, especially in the lower reflector. More than 120 time of the pressure drop increased in the lower reflector, while only 10% increased in the nose piece. According to the parametric study, mass of the debris was the most important for pressure drop. The lower discharge phenomena could have a significant effect to the total pressure drop of the fuel assembly, approximately 10.8 times for the base case.

Aerodynamic flow control phenomena were investigated with a low-current DC surface discharge plasma actuator. The plasma actuator was found to operate in three different discharge modes with similar discharge currents of about 1 mA or less. Stable continuous DC discharge without audible noise was obtained at higher ballast resistances and lower discharge currents. However, even with continuous DC power input, a low-frequency self-pulsed discharge was obtained at lower ballast resistances, and a high-frequency self-pulsed discharge was obtained at higher set-point currents and higher ballast resistances, both with audible noise. The Schlieren image reveals that the low-frequency self-pulsed mode produces a synthetic jet-like flow implying that a gas heating effect plays a role, even though the discharge current is small. The high-frequency self-pulsed mode produces pulsed jets in a tangent direction, and the continuous DC mode produces a steady straight pressure wave. Particle image velocimetry (PIV) images reveal that the induced flow field by the low-frequency self-pulsed mode has flow propagating in the radial direction and centered between the electrodes. The high-frequency self-pulsed mode and continuous DC mode produce flow from the anode to the cathode. The perturbed region downstream of the cathode is larger in the high-frequency self-pulsed mode with similar maximum speeds.

The influence of the grooved dielectric layer on discharge and luminous characteristics has been investigated for various depths of the groove to achieve a high luminance efficiency AC-PDP operated at a lower voltage. We use the voltagethreshold curve technique and address delay jitters to explain the discharge characteristics. It shows that the surface discharge voltage rely on the depth of the grooved dielectric layer. Vertical discharge voltage remains almost the same as the groove depth increases.

To increase the luminance and luminous efficacy in the discharge for alternating current plasma display panel (ac PDP), the increment of Xe contents and long discharge gap are necessary. However, the driving voltage and the cost of driving circuit increases in the high Xe contents and long discharge path condition. In this paper, a long gap ITO hump electrode (LGH) model for discharge cells of ac PDP is evaluated in the various Xe contents($5{\sim}20%$). The discharge voltage of LGH structure is lower about 30V than that of ITa reference structure with same main discharge gap. The LGH structure has lower power consumption and higher luminance than those of reference structure, respectively. Also, the luminous efficacy of LGH structure is higher about 20% than that of ITO reference structure in the 20% Xe contents.

Here is presented the measurement on SrO- and SrCaO-PDP operated at lower voltage. SrO- and SrCaO-PDP attain high luminous efficacy at low voltage, where the breakdown voltage is 30 % lower than that of the ordinary MgO-PDP. A one-dimensional fluid model is applied for the simulation of PDP discharge. High VUV radiation efficiency is confirmed at high ${\gamma}_i$ and both low and high $V_s$ as in the experiment. Discharge analysis in simulation also shows that the high ${\gamma}_i$ protective layer leads to high plasma density especially near the cathode electrode, being responsible for high efficiency.

This paper describes underwater discharge phenomena which are less studied than gas, solid and dielectric liquid. Since discharge phenomena were affected by various factors, we investigated the effect of water resistivity in point-plane gap by impulse voltage. In discharge photograph, it is hard to discover the streamer development in positive polarity at high reisistivity. On the other hand, the streamer originated at the tip of rod and developed toward the plane with increasing voltage. It is found that the breakdown voltage of both polarities in lower resistivity are lower than that of high resistivity. High current flowing in lower resistivity before the breakdown induce more streamer and enhance the probability of breakdown.

A hybrid supercapacitor (HS) is an energy storage device used to enhance the low weight energy density (Wh/kg) of a supercapacitor. On the other hand, a sudden decrease in capacity has been pointed out as a reliability problem after many charge/discharge cycles. The reliability problem of a HS affects the early aging process. In this study, the capacity performance of a HS was observed after charge/discharge. For detailed analysis of the initial charge/discharge cycles, the charge and discharge curve was measured at a low current density. In addition, a solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer was confirmed after the charge/discharge. A HC composed of a lithium titanate (LTO) anode and active carbon cathode was used. The charge/discharge efficiency of the first cycle was lower than the late cycles and the charge/discharge rate was also lower. This behavior was induced by SEI layer formation, which consumed Li ions in the LTO lattice. The formation of a SEI layer after the charge/discharge cycles was confirmed using a range of analysis techniques.

본 연구는 뇌졸중 환자들의 퇴원 후 1개월까지의 물리치료양상 및 기능변화와 이에 관련된 요인을 알아보기 위해 1998년 1월 1일부터 5월 31일까지 약 5개월 간 부산시, 대구시, 구미시 및 안동시 등에 소재하고 있는 1개 병원에서 물리치료를 시작한 뇌졸중환자 87명을 대상으로 물리치료를 시작한 시점, 1개월 후, 퇴원 시, 그리고 퇴원 후 1개월이 지난 시점까지 추적하여 기능변화를 평가하였다. 뇌졸중환자의 물리치료 시작시점의 BI점수는 26.32였고, PS점수는 11.34이었다. 물리치료 시작시점을 기준으로 할 때 입원 1개월 후의 81점수 변화는 평균 16.61(p<0.001). 퇴원 시는 33.51(p<0.001), 퇴원 1개월 후는 43.56 만큼 호전되었다(p<0.001). PS점수도 각각 -2.1, -3.94, 그리고 -5,52만큼 호전되었다(p<0.001). 그리고 퇴원시에 비해 퇴원 후의 변화도 81점수는 10.06만큼, PS점수는 -1.51만큼 모두 유의하게 호전되었다 (p<0.001). 물리치료 시작시점과 회원시의 BI점수 변화와 유의한 관련이 있는 요인은 물리치료 시작시점의 BI점수와 연령이었는데(p<0.05), 시작시점의 BI점수가 낮고 연령이 낮을수록 기능호전이 컸다. 시작시점과 종료시점 사이의 변화는 시작시점의 BI점수. 퇴원시의 BI점수, 종교유무가 유의하게 관련이 이었다(p<0.05). 즉, 종교를 믿고 있거나 물리치료 시작시점의 BI점수가 낮고 퇴원시의 BI 점수가 높을수록 기능호전이 컸다. 퇴원 시와 1개월 후에는 퇴원시의 BI점수와 종교유무였는데, 퇴원시의 BI점수가 낮고 종교를 믿는 환자에서 기능호전이 유의하게 컸다.(p<0.05). 물리치료 시작시점과 퇴원시의 PS점수 변화와 유의한 관련이 있는 요인은 물리치료 시작시점의 PS점수였는데(p<0.05), 시작시점의 PS점수가 높을수록 기능호전이 컸다. 시작시점과 종료시점사이는 시작시점의 PS점수, 퇴원시의 PS점수, 퇴원 1개월 후에 적극적으로 물리치료를 받았는지의 여부 등이었다(p<0.05). 즉, 시작시점의 PS점수가 높고, 퇴원시의 PS점수는 낮으면서 적극적으로 물리치료를 받은 환자가 기능호전이 켰다. 퇴원 시와 1개월 후에는 퇴원시의 PS접수가 높고 적극적으로 물리치료를 받을수록 기능호전이 유의하게 컸다(p<0.05). 이상의 결과를 요약하면, 뇌졸중환자의 물리치료 효과를 BI점수로 평가하면 물리치료 시작시점 및 퇴원시의 BI점수, 연령 및 종교유무가 중요한 요인이고, PS점수로 평가하면 시작시점 및 퇴원시의 PS점수와 퇴원 1개월 후에 적극적으로 물리치료를 받았는지의 여부가 중요한 요인으로 생각된다.

본 논문에서는 침대평판 전극구조를 구성하여 침전극에 직류 정 ·부 고전압을 인가한 경우 전계와 자계가 직각방향으로 형성되도록 하고 자계가 코로나 방전현상에 미치는 영향을 측정하고 분석하였다. 정의 고전압을 인가한 경우 자계인가에 의해 방전코로나 영역이 확장되고 이때 흐르는 코로나전류가 감소하였고, 절연파괴전압은 증가되었다. 그러나 부의 고전압을 인가한 경우는 방전코로나 영역이 오히려 축소되고 흐르는 전류가 증가되었으며 절연파괴전압은 감소되었다. 이는 전자계가 동시에 존재하는 영역에서 코로나방전에 의해 생성된 전하들의 로렌쯔력에 의한 싸이크로트론 운동 때문인 것으로 생각된다.

To understand the effects of fluctuations in dam discharge due to river environments and phytoplankton communities, we monitored such environments and phytoplankton communities biweekly, from February 2001 to February 2002 and from February 2004 to February 2005, in the lower Han River (LHR), South Korea. The phytoplankton abundance during the dry season was approximately two times higher than that during the rainy season. In particular, fluctuations in diatom assemblages, which constituted over 70% of the total phytoplankton abundance, were affected severely by the changes in the discharge. When a large quantity of water in a dam was discharged into the LHR, the conductivity and the concentrations of total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), and dissolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP) decreased rapidly, whereas the concentrations of suspended solids (SS), dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN), and dissolved silica (DSi) increased immediately. Time-delayed relationship also revealed that the dam discharge had an immediately significant negative relationship with phytoplankton abundance. On the whole, fluctuations in phytoplankton communities in the LHR were influenced much more by hydrodynamics such as dam discharge than by the availability of nutrients. Thus, the variability in these concentrations usually parallels the strength of river flow that is associated with summer rainfall, with higher values during periods of high river discharge.
