Coolant mixing under natural circulation flow regime constitutes a key parameter that may play a role in the course of an accidental transient in a nuclear pressurized water reactor. This issue has motivated some experimental investigations carried out within the OECD/NEA PKL projects. The aim was to assess the coolant mixing phenomenon in the reactor pressure vessel downcomer and the core lower plenum under several asymmetric steady and unsteady flow conditions, and to provide experimental data for code validations. Former studies addressed the mixing phenomenon using, on the one hand, one-dimensional computational approaches with cross flows that are not fully validated under transient conditions and, on the other hand, expensive computational fluid dynamic tools that are not always justified for large-scale macroscopic phenomena. In the current framework, an unsteady coolant mixing experiment carried out in the Rossendorf coolant mixing test facility is simulated using the three-dimensional porous media capabilities of the thermal-hydraulic system CATHARE code. The current study allows highlighting the current capabilities of these codes and their suitability for reproducing the main phenomena occurring during asymmetric transient natural circulation mixing conditions.

Cake resistance is influenced by floc size deposited on membrane surface. Enlarging floc size can reduce cake resistance. The small particles are enlarged by coagulation and flocculation process in conventional mixing tank at membrane filtration system. Fully-grown flocs for reducing the cake resistance, however, are ruptured while passing through a pump. In light of this fact, this study aims to experimentally look at the reaggregation phenomenon of mixing system. In addition, reaggregation phenomenon of mixing system is compared with first-aggregation of in-line injection system in which coagulant is injected just before a pump. These results suggest that first-aggregation of in-line injection system is better than reaggregation of mixing system for G-value above $3100sec^{-1}$. Since G-value in pipe of actual membrane filtration system are usually larger than $3100sec^{-1}$. The performance of in-line injection system is expected to be better than the conventional mixing tank system.

This study suggest the improvement of the CFRP adhesive mixing ratio about acoustic window to enhance SONAR performance. The CFRP of submarine is produced by allocation an acoustic window zone by the beam width of SONAR sensors. During the sea trial, SONAR system's bearing and range accuracy data is not in tolerance due to debonding phenomenon on CFRP. The inappropriate mixing ratio of adhesives caused that peeling phenomenon occurred in the acoustic window part, which is the reason for the deterioration of SONAR sensors performance. The report includes explanation of test procedure of SONAR, root cause analysis, CFRP manufacturing procedure, laboratory tests results, and proof of the performance at the sea trial.

This experimental study was conducted to investigate macroscopic characteristics of the flash boiling spray with tow component mixing fuel. Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) is a newer combustion method for internal combustion engines to reduce nitrogen oxide and particulate matter simultaneously. But it is difficult to put this combustion method to practical use in an engine because of such problems as instability of combustion in low load operating conditions and knocking in high load operating conditions. In HCCI, combustion characteristics and exhaust emissions depend on conditions of air/fuel mixture and chemical reactions of fuel molecules. The fuel design approach is achieved by mixing two components which differ in properties such as density, viscosity, volatility, ignitability and so on. We plan to apply the fuel design approach to HCCI combustion generated in a real engine, and examine the possibility of mixture formation control using the flash boiling spray. Spray characteristics of two component fuel with a flash boiling phenomenon was investigated using Shlieren and Mie scattering photography. Test fuel was injected into a constant volume vessel at ambient conditions imitated injection timing BTDC of a real engine. As a result, it was found that a flash boiling phenomenon greatly changed spray structure, especially in the conditions of lower temperature and density. Therefore, availability of mixture formation control using flash boiling spray was suggested.

2단 Rushton turbine 날개를 장착한 접시바닥형 교반조 내의 유동 상태가 어떤 회전수에서 변화하는 현상을 찾아냈다. 층류 영역에서는 회전수를 변화시켜도 안정적인 도넛 링이 형성되어 혼합 패턴에 특이한 변동은 관찰되지 않았다. 전이영역에서의 평바닥형 교반조에서는 회전수에 변화를 주어도 두꺼운 2개의 미혼합 도넛 링에 변화가 없는 반면, 접시바닥형 교반조에서는 회전수가 450 rpm이 되면 두꺼운 2개의 미혼합 도넛 링이 아주 얇은 3개의 도넛 링으로 바뀌어 혼합이 개선되었다. 접시바닷형 교반조에서는 Re=138~178의 영역에서 링 모양의 미혼합 영역이 3곳에서 나타났고 그 크기도 컸지만, 평바닥형 교반조에서는 Re=116~176에서 링모양의 미혼합 영역은 2곳에서 나타났으며 그 크기도 작았다. 이러한 현상이 관찰되는 조건은 전이영역으로, 방해판을 부착하였을 때가 방해판이 없을 때와 비교하여 동력수가 커지기 시작하는 영역임을 알 수 있었다. 또한 교반 레이놀즈수가 300을 넘어 유동 상태에 약간의 난류가 섞이게 되면, 이 같은 흐름 양상의 단절이 해소되어 완전히 혼합되었다.

This article presents an application of a large-scale structural mixing model (Broadwell et al. 1984) to the blowout of turbulent reacting jets discharging perpendicularly into an unconfined cross air-flow. In an analysis of a common stability curve, a plausible explanation can be made that the phenomenon of blowout is related only to the mixing time scale of the two flows. The most notable observation is that the blowout distance is traced at fixed positions at all times according to the velocity ratio R. Measurements of the lower blowout limits in the liftable flame agree qualitatively with the blowout parameter ${\varepsilon}$, proposed by Broadwell et al. Good agreement between the results calculated by a modified blowout parameter ${\varepsilon}^'$ and experimental results confirms the important effect of a large-scale structure in specifying the stabilization feature of blowouts.

The turbulent mixing rate is a very important variable in the thermal-hydraulic design of nuclear reactors. In this study, the turbulent mixing rate the fluid flows through rod bundles is estimated with the scale analysis on the flow pulsation phenomenon. Based upon the assumption that the turbulent mixing is composed of molecular motion, isotropic turbulent motion (turbulent motion without the flow pulsation), and How pulsation, the scale relation for the mixing is derived as a function of P/D, Re, and Pr. The derived scale relation is compared with published experimental results and shows good agreements. Since the scale relation is applicable to various Prandtl number fluid flows, it is expected to be useful for the thermal-hydraulic analysis of liquid metal coolant reactors as well as of moderate Prandtl number coolant reactors.

This paper dealt with an experiments on temperature vairation in the heat storage zone due to change of vertical location (height) of sink diffuser and flow extraction in small saltless solar pond ($0.5{\times}0.5{\times}1.0M$), and the honeycomb device for this experimental purpose consisted of one-tired, sealed, and air filled by honeycomb panels. As results of experiments, 1) The storage zone was formed under lower region below the honeycomb device. 2) The higher vertical location of sink diffuser was placed, the more mixing phenomenon increased in the pond at steady flow extraction. 3) The more flow extraction increased, the more mixing phenomenon decreased at constant heat exchanger and variable flow extraction.

이 연구의 목적은 고등학생들의 용해·확산과 관련된 혼합현상에 대한 개념 유형을 알아보고자 하는 것이다. 연구대상은 화학 I 과목을 수강하는 고등학교 2학년 학생 108명과 화학 II 과목을 수강하는 고등학교 3학년 학생 29명이다. 연구 결과, 많은 학생들이 분필이 무극성 물질이기 때문에 물에 섞이지 않는다는 대안 적 개념을 가지고 있었다. 사염화탄소가 물에 섞이지 않는 현상에 대해서 대부분의 학생들이 인력의 개념으로 이해하였으나, 밀도 차이와 같은 물질의 특성의 차이로 이해하는 유형 또한 많았다. 물과 에탄올이 한없이 섞 이는 현상은 많은 학생들이 인력 개념으로 이해하였다. 대부분 학생들은 수성 잉크와 물이 섞이는 현상을 섞 이는 이유에 대해서는 알지 못한 채 단지 퍼져나가는 현상 자체로만 받아들이고 있었다. 요오드가 사염화탄소 에 섞이는 현상은 구멍이론이나 인력 개념으로 이해하였다. 이러한 용해·확산과 관련된 혼합현상에 대한 다 양한 대안적 개념은 엔트로피 개념의 부족으로 인한 것이다. 따라서 학생들이 이러한 현상을 제대로 이해하도 록 과학 교과서의 서술 방식이 바뀔 필요가 있다.

Improving the atomization characteristics by adopting the Air-Shrouded injector has been considered as one of the important methods for decreasing HC emissions in SI engines. Thus, in this study for the purpose of developing Air-Shrouded injector which has a finer spray, atomization characteristics of different types of commercial Air-Shrouded injectors were investigated through the spray imaging and the drop size measurements. As a result, it was found that the internal mixing type of Air-shrouded injector had a good atomization characteristics. But, a number of large droplets were found in the internal mixing type commercial injector, this phenomenon was improved by adopting the thread type nozzle passages.
