Advanced Pressurized Water Reactors (APWRs) and Boiling Water Reactors (BWRs) employ a suppression pool as a heat sink to prevent containment overpressure. Steam can be discharged into the pool through multi-hole spargers or blowdown pipes in both normal and accident conditions. Direct Contact Condensation (DCC) creates sources of momentum and heat. The competition between these two sources determines the development of thermal stratification or mixing of the pool. Thermal stratification is of safety concern as it reduces the cooling capability compared to a completely mixed pool condition. In this work we develop a scaling approach to prediction of the thermal stratification in a water pool induced by steam injection through spargers. Experimental data obtained from large-scale pool tests conducted in the PPOOLEX and PANDA facilities, as well as simulation results obtained using validated codes are used to develop the scaling. Two injection orientations, namely radial injection through multi-hole Sparger Head (SH) and vertical injection through Load Reduction Ring (LRR), are considered. We show that the erosion rate of the cold layer can be estimated using the Richardson number. In this work, scaling laws are proposed to estimate both the (i) transient erosion velocity and (ii) the stable position of the thermocline. These scaling laws are then implemented into a 1D model to simulate the thermal behavior of the pool during steam injection through the sparger.

본 실험은 thermal units을 이용하여 single-stemmed rose($Rosa$ $hybrida$ L.) 'Vital'의 초장, 생체중 및 총엽면적과 각 생육단계에 도달하는 시간을 예측하고, 장미의 신초발달 모델을 개발하기 위해 수행하였다. 기저온도($T_b$), 적정온도($T_{opt}$), 및 최대온도($T_{max}$)는 신초의 발달율과 평균온도의 회귀를 통해 예측하였다. 삽목에서 정식(CT-TP)까지의 생육단계에 대한 신초의 발달율은 linear 함수인 $R_b(d^{-1})$ = -0.0089 + $0.0016{\cdot}Temp$으로 나타났다. 정식에서 수확(TP-HV)까지의 생육단계에서 신초의 발달율은 parabolic 함수인 $R_h(d^{-1})$ = $-0.0001{\cdot}Temp^2$ + $0.0054{\cdot}Temp$ - 0.0484으로 나타낼 수 있었다. $T_b$, $T_{opt}$ 및 $T_{max}$는 각각 5.56, 27.0, 및 $42.7^{\circ}C$으로 나타났다. Tb값 $5.56^{\circ}C$은 single-stemmed rose의 신초발달에 대한 온도함수인 thermal units 계산에 이용되었다. 엽수, 엽면적 및 엽중은 삽목시기에 상관없이 sigmoid curve를 나타내었다. 엽면적(LA) 모델은 thermal units를 사용하여 sigmoid 함수, LA = 578.7 $[1+(thermal units/956.1)^{-8.54}]^{-1}$로 기술할 수 있었다. 삽목에서 정식(CT-TP)과 정식에서 수확(TP-HV)까지의 생육단계에 있어서 요구되는 평균 thermal units($^{\circ}C{\cdot}d$)는 각각 $426{\pm}42(^{\circ}C{\cdot}d)$과 $783{\pm}24(^{\circ}C{\cdot}d$)였다.

In proportion to the increased density in electronic packaging from chip to system levels of telecommunication system, thermal management is becoming a vital subject to save the cost of the electronic product and to maintain high reliability. The key to the successful application of the thermal management technique is the capability to predict the equipment thermal behaviors in early stage of system development and product design. This paper describes the application of correlations of natural convection to TDX-10 digital switching system, which has been under the 5 year development project since 1987, in order to predict equipment temperature and thermal behaviors whihin a rack.

Microstructural development of ferritic 11Cr-3.45W heat-resistance steel for ultra-supercritical power plant during creep and thermal aging was investigated using electron microscopy. The test samples were isothermally aged at $700^{\circ}C$ for up to 4000 hours and subjected to creep loading at $700^{\circ}C$ for predetermined periods of lifetime to prepare the damaged materials. In this structural material, a various secondary phases are the primary influence on mechanical properties of ferritic heat-resistance steel. The typical precipitates of $M_{23}C_6$, MX and $M_2X$ secondary phases had been analyzed through qualitative and quantitative manner. Coarsening of precipitates and increase of lath width were observed during creep and thermal aging. This phenomenon was remarkable for creep process compared with isothermal aging process.

The goal of this study is to replace the current forward 2-piece propeller shaft of 8 ton large truck made of steel with 1-piece composite propeller shaft. A low cost Glass/Epoxy composite propeller shafts were successfully developed, which satisfy requirements such as the capacity of static torque transfer, fatigue strength and bending natural frequency. Devising secure joining method of a composite tube and metal yoke was the most critical issue in successful development of a high torque composite propeller shaft. In this study, joining method using thermal interference fit was adopted for composite to metal joint. Optimum conditions of heating temperature and interference level of thermal interference fit were determined from thermal stress analysis using 3D finite element method. Static torsion test, fatigue test, RPM and balance test were performed to verify the design.

The conventional thermal insulator and power transformer testing is widely used in surface aging measurement of outside insulator because those testing can carry out very short time in Lab testing. Also thermal testing is able to offer the standard judgement of relative degradation level of outside HV machine. There it is very useful method compare to previous conventional thermal testing method and effective Lab testing method. But surface discharges(SD) have very complex characteristics of discharge pattern so it is required estimation research to development of precise analysis method. In recent, the study of IRR-camera is carrying out discover of temperature of power equipment through condition diagnosis and system development of degradation diagnosis. In this study, thermal testing of Power transformer is measured with partial temperature distribution in real time.

The use of glass applied to curved surface as a building material has increased in recent years. However, the curved glass is difficult to guarantee the quality in process of making it into double glazing, So it is vulnerable to thermal breakage. In this paper, when the glass broken during experiments, surface temperature difference on curved double glazing was compared to that of heat strengthened glass and flat glass. As a result, flat single glass was broken at temperature difference of 100~140 degrees but curved double glazing was broken at that of 40~60 degrees. Therefore, curved double glazing is more vulnerable than flat double glazing to thermal breakage, so it should be considered when applied to building facade.

In this study, a predictive method which was modified from KIshi's model for the temperature development of concrete was developed by using mineral compounds of clinker and pozzolans. Temperature dependent heat generation of reaction was also considered. Specific heat considering the effect of mix proportion and temperature was calculated with experimental data in the literatures. Thermal conductivity considering the effect of mix proportion and temperature was experimentally investigated. Through this research it was found that the developed method considering thermal properties accurately predicted adiabatic temperature rise of concrete without the experiment. It was also found that the thermal conductivity of concrete could be predicted by the volume ratio of each component of mix proportion and was independent of temperature within the normal climatic range.

In this paper, the unsteady state calculational model is proposed for the thermal stratification analysis in the feedwater line of the PWR plant. By defining dimensionless parameters in the two-dimensional polar coordinate system and applying SIMPLE algorithm, the temperature and flow profiles due to the thermal stratification are obtained. Base on the fact that the most significant condition occurs when the fluid temperature difference between the piping ends reaches as high as 166.deg. C, the present result shows that max. Dimensionless temperature difference of 0.6 (about l00.deg. C) obtained between hot and cold sections of pipe wall at dimensionless time 47.0.

Cooling seawater of thermal power plant which amounts about 5 cms per 100 MWe has hydro energy of about 3,000 kW at the thermal power plant complex, but this useful hydro energy has not been developed. Therefore, the feasibility study on hydro energy development of three power plants located in the southern and western coast of Korea was performed. Three target power plants are Samcheonpo, Boryeong and Hadong thermal power plant. The design head to discharge cooling water by gravity and the head caused by tidal level in the southwestern coastal area, could be used for the production of electric power. The various alternatives were studied and technical feasibility and economical efficiency were clearly proved.
