This paper systematically investigates and correlates pressure fluctuation and nominal wake characteristics according to the angle of the vortex generators by introducing the angle adjustment method of the Vortex Generator (VG). The vortex generators are installed at the port and starboard of a model ship. The vortex generator performance test is executed on a model ship installed in the Large Cavitation Tunnel (LCT) and the angle of VG is freely controlled by a servo motor. The systematic test results for the vortex generator show that the well-designed VG is an effective appendage for reducing the pressure fluctuation level and shows the direction of VG's angular design optimization.

As a part of license renewal for the continued operation of Wolsong unit 1, the periodic safety review report was submitted near the end of design lifetime, 2012, and now is under reviewing. Major components of primary system such as pressure tubes, feeder pipes and so on are being replaced and many components of secondary system are also being repaired. So the license renewal of Wolsong unit 1 is expected to be acquired without significant issues. But on the other hand, steam generators of Wolsong unit 1 had the good performance and therefore the replacement and repair for the steam generator are not needed. Recently it is reported that some cracks were detected in a few of european steam generator with Alloy 800 tubes and the cause of cracks was the outer diameter stress corrosion cracking(ODSCC) due to the concentration of chemical impurities on the outer surface of tube. Accordingly the overall review on this issue was performed. The long-term operation is likely to results to form the concentration mechanism for the tube corrosion as the sludge build-up in the secondary side of steam generator and the crack in the crevice between tube and tube-sheet and expansion transitions is apt to be occurred. In this paper, the history of steam generator inspection and operation of Wolsong unit 1 are reviewed and the reliability of steam generator tube is evaluated and the steam generator aging management program for Wolsong unit 1 is introduced.

For hydrogen-cooled large turbine generators, partial discharges in ground wall insulations are suppressed by high hydrogen pressure. The first goal of the experiment is to investigate the effect of hydrogen pressure on partial discharge activity and aging rate in turbine generator winding insulations. A series of tests have been performed on two groups of the accelerated aging experiments. The first group of stator windings was aged under hydrogen pressure of 4 atm while the second group of stator windings was aged under air atmosphere. The stator windings aged under air atmosphere suffer from larger partial discharge magnitude with larger voids at high electrical stress than those under hydrogen pressure. The second goal of the experiment is to evaluate the validity of on-line measurement technique which is normally measured under hydrogen environment. The test results show that further experiments are needed to apply the on-line scheme to turbine generator being under high hydrogen pressure.

30톤급 액체로켓엔진 가스발생기의 연소 특성에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 개발 초기 가스발생기는 터빈 매니폴드 출구를 모사하는 노즐을 후단에 장착한 상태에서 연소시험을 진행하였다. 이후 가스발생기와 터빈부의 공진모드를 모사하는 연장배관을 가스발생기와 노즐 사이에 추가하여 시험이 이루어졌으며, 최종적으로 터보펌프의 터빈부를 연결한 상태에서 연소시험을 수행하였다. 본 논문에서는 이와 관련된 온도 분포, 압력섭동 결과들을 분석하였다.

The objective of this paper is to propose a modelling of a small compressed air energy storage system, which drives an induction generator based on a field-oriented control (FOC) principle for a renewable power generation. The proposed system is a hybrid technology of energy storage and electrification, which is developed to use as a small scale of renewable energy power plant. The energy will be transferred from the renewable energy resource to the compressed air energy by reciprocating air compressor to be stored in a pressurized vessel. The energy storage system uses a small compressed air energy storage system, developed as a small unit and installed above ground to avoid site limitation as same as the conventional CAES does. Therefore, it is suitable to be placed at any location. The system is operated in low pressure not more than 15 bar, so, it easy to available component in country and inexpensive. The power generation uses a variable speed induction generator (IG). The relationship of pressure and air flow of the compressed air, which varies continuously during the discharge of compressed air to drive the generator, is considered as a control command. As a result, the generator generates power in wide speed range. Unlike the conventional CAES that used gas turbine, this system does not have any combustion units. Thus, the system does not burn fuel and exhaust pollution. This paper expresses the modelling, thermodynamic analysis simulation and experiment to obtain the characteristic and performance of a new concept of a small compressed air energy storage power plant, which can be helpful in system designing of renewable energy electrification. The system was tested under a range of expansion pressure ratios in order to determine its characteristics and performance. The efficiency of expansion air of 49.34% is calculated, while the efficiency of generator of 60.85% is examined. The overall efficiency of system of approximately 30% is also investigated.

A nozzle with vortex generator was used to develop the low pressure nozzle with high atomization performance and the nozzle atomized the liquid by centrifugal shear forces. In order to analyze the atomization characteristics, a shadowgraphy method was used and the measurement of droplet size was performed by using laser diffraction analyzer. The liquid injection pressure was fixed as 0.03 bar which is very low pressure and the gas injection pressures were changed from 0 bar to 2.0 bar. As a result, the breakup was achieved at the air injection pressure of 0.25 bar and over. The nozzle with the orifice diameter of 0.4 mm and the orifice gap of 0.25 mm presented small droplet diameters under 50 at the air injection pressure of 0.75 bar.

본 연구에서는 미세 액적을 발생시키는 액적 발생 장치를 개발 제작하고 이에 대한 성능 평가를 실시하였다. 액적 발생 장치는 spray-evaporation method를 기초로 제작하였으며, 0.3mm, 0.5mm의 오리피스를 사용하였다. 압축 공기 공급 압력을 1bar에서 4bar로 증가시키면서 공급 압력에 따른 발생되는 액적 크기의 미세 정도를 비교하였다. 또한 SMPS(Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer)와 OPC(Optical Particle Counter)를 이용하여 서로 다른 오리피스를 장착한 액적 발생 장치에서 발생되는 액적의 크기 분포를 측정하였다. 연구 결과, 0.3mm 오리피스를 장착한 장치에서 발생되는 액적은 $0.3{\mu}m$ 인근의 크기가 가장 많았으며, 미립화되는 입자는 매우 안정적이었다. 또한 0.5mm 오리피스를 장착한 장치가 0.3mm 오리피스를 장착한 장치에 비해 발생되는 액적의 크기가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 액적 발생 장치는 입자의 미세한 응집 현상이 나타나는데, 이것은 내부 액체가 미세한 액적으로 미립화되어 분사되기 때문인 것으로 사료된다. 본 연구에서 제작한 액적 발생 장치는 미세 입자를 미립화하기 위한 에어로졸 발생 장치로 사용 가능한 것으로 판단된다.

Steam Generator(SG) tube is an important component of Nuclear Power Plant(NPP), which comprises of the pressure boundary of primary system. The integrity of SG tube has been confirmed by the eddy current test every outage. In Korea, Bobbin probe and MRPC probe have been generally used for the eddy current test. Meanwhile the usage of Array probe has gradually increased in U.S., Japan and other countries. In this study, we investigated the defect detection capability of the Array probe through its preliminary application to SG tube inspection. The Array probe has the equivalent capability in the defect detection and sizing as the conventional methods. Thus it is desirable that the Array probe is generally applied to SG tube inspection in the domestic NPPs.

This paper provides further validation of the burst pressure estimation equations for multiple axial surface cracked steam generator tubes, recently proposed by the authors based on analytical local collapse load approach against systematic FE damage analysis results of Alloy 690 tubes with twin axial surface cracks. Wide ranges of the relative crack depth and multiple crack configurations are considered. Comparison shows good agreements, giving sufficient confidence of the proposed equations.

A steam generator tubing is one of the main pressure boundary of the reactor coolant system in the nuclear power plants. Structural integrity refers to maintaining adequate margins against failure of the tubing. Burst pressure of a tube at tube support plate can be higher than that for a free-span tube because failure behaviors could be interfered from the tube support plate. Alternative repair criteria for out-diameter stress corrosion cracking indications in tubes to the drilled type tube support plate were developed, however, there are very limited information to the eggcrate type tube support plate. This paper discussed reinforcement effect of steam generator tube burst pressure with axial out-diameter stress corrosion cracking within an eggcrate type tube support plate. A series of tube burst tests were performed under the room temperature and it was found out that there is no significant but marginal effects.
