Sizing the tube inlet orifice of a Once-Through Steam Generator (OTSG) is important to protect the integrity of the tubes from thermal cycling and vibration wear. In this study, a new sizing criterion is proposed for the tube inlet orifice to suppress the parallel channel instability in an OTSG. A perturbation method is used to capture the essential parts of the thermal-hydraulic phenomena of the parallel channel instability. The perturbation model of the heat transfer regime boundaries is identified as a missing part in existing models for sizing the OTSG tube inlet orifice. Limitations and deficiency of the existing models are identified and the reasons for the limitations are explained. The newly proposed model can be utilized to size the tube inlet orifice to suppress the parallel channel instability without excessive engineering margin.

Two- and three-dimensional turbulent airflows in a 9-degrees-bent channel are studied numerically. The inner surfaces of upper and lower walls are parallel to each other upstream and downstream of the bend section. The free stream is supersonic, whereas the flow at the channel exit is either supersonic or subsonic depending on the given backpressure. Solutions of the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations are obtained with a finite-volume solver ANSYS CFX. The solutions reveal instability of formed shock waves and a flow hysteresis in considerable bands of the free-stream Mach number at zero and negative angles of attack. The instability is caused by an interaction of shocks with the expansion flow formed over the convex bend of lower wall.

화력발전용 관류보일러 화로벽관에서의 밀도파 불안정 예측을 목적으로 수치모델을 개발하였다. 시간 도메인에서 1 차원 유한체적법을 적용하여 관내 비정상상태의 유동장을 계산하였으며, 화로벽관의 평행관 연결을 모사하기 위해 헤더의 모델도 포함하였다. 평행관들 가운데 하나의 관에 열 섭동을 부가 후 관 입출구 유량의 변동을 관찰함으로써 밀도파 불안정을 찾았다. 개발된 모델은 문헌의 실험결과와 검증을 거쳐 700MW 보일러 화로벽관에 적용하였다. 그 결과 Takitani 의 실험결과에서는 평행으로 연결된 우회 유량이 줄어들수록 불안정 경계 열량이 상승하는 경향이 있었던 반면, 보일러 화로벽관의 경우에는 평행관 모델링에 크게 영향을 받지 않음을 확인하였다.

We quantitatively investigated instability mechanisms under simultaneous positive gate and drain bias stress (SPGDBS) in self-aligned top-gate amorphous indium-zinc-oxide thin-film transistors. After SPGDBS ($V_{GS}=13V$and $V_{DS}=13V$), the parallel shift of the transfer curve into a negative $V_{GS}$ direction and the increase of on current were observed. In order to quantitatively analyze mechanisms of the SPGDBS-induced negative shift of threshold voltage (${\Delta}V_T$), we experimentally extracted the density-of-state, and then analyzed by comparing and combining measurement data and TCAD simulation. As results, 19% and 81% of ${\Delta}V_T$ were taken to the donor-state creation and the hole trapping, respectively. This donor-state seems to be doubly ionized oxygen vacancy ($V{_O}^{2+}$). In addition, it was also confirmed that the wider channel width corresponds with more negative ${\Delta}V_T$. It means that both the donor-state creation and hole trapping can be enhanced due to the increase in self-heating as the width becomes wider. Lastly, all analyzed results were verified by reproducing transfer curves through TCAD simulation.
