A thermosiphon is utilized as a thermal shunt to reduce the cool-down time of a cryogenic system cooled by a two stage cryocooler. The cool-down time reduction by the thermosiphon is determined by the type of working fluid which is directly related to the operating temperature range of the thermosiphon. A mixed working fluid has a potential to widen the operation temperature range of the thermosipohon. In this study, the thermosiphon using N$_2$ and CF$_4$ mixture as the working fluid is fabricated and tested to verify its transient heat transfer performance. The thermosiphon with the mixed working fluid has no noticeable reduction of cool-down time compared with that of the thermosiphon with pure working fluid in this experiment. However, it seems that the thermosiphon with mixed working fluid may have an advantage according to the cooling capacity of a cryocooler, the cooling target temperature and the size of a cooling object.

1981년 6월 9일 고리 1호기 원자력발전소에서 발생한 외부 전원 상실사고 자료를 근거로 RELAP5/MOD2코드모델 평가를 하였다. 계산된 주요 열ㆍ수력학 변수를 실측자료와 비교 분석하였으며 증기발생기의 Nodalization 민감도 분석이 수행되었다. 계산된 열ㆍ수력학 변수는 실측치와 비교적 잘 일치하고 있으며, 이러한 유형의 사고 분석에 RELAP5/MOD2가 적합하다는 것을 보였다. 그러나 가압기 압력과 수위변동에서는 상당한 차이를 보였으며 높게 계산되었다. 이러한 사실은 RELAP5의 수직관에서의 층류 열전달 모델에 기인하는 것으로 해당모델의 개선을 요하고 있다는 것을 알았다. 그리고 증기발생기의 Nodalization 연구를 통하여 수위변동을 잘 예측하기 1위해서는 증기발생기 증기 Dome와 Downcomer사이에 압력을 전달시켜주는 유로를 모델링 하여야 한다는 것을 알았다.

The main outcomes of the experiments H2P6 performed in the thermal-hydraulics large-scale PANDA facility at PSI in the frame of the OECD/NEA HYMERES-2 project are presented in this article. The experiments of the H2P6 series consists of two PANDA tests characterized by the activation of three (H2P6_1) or one (H2P6_2) cooler(s) in an initially stratified and pressurized containment atmosphere. The initial stratification is defined by a helium-rich region located in the upper part of the vessel and a steam/air atmosphere in the lower part. The activation of the cooler(s) results i) in the condensation of the steam in the vicinity of the cooler(s), ii) the corresponding activation of large scale natural circulation currents in the vessel atmosphere, with the result of iii) the re-distribution and mixing of the Helium stratification initially located in the upper half of the vessel and iv) the continuous pressure decay. The initial helium layer represents hydrogen generated in a postulated severe accident. The main question to be answered by the experiments is whether or not the interaction of the different, localized cooler units would be important for the application of numerical methods. The paper describes the initial and boundary conditions and the experimental results of the H2P6 series with the suggestion of simple scaling laws for both experiments in terms of i) the temperature difference(s) across the cooler(s), ii) the transient steam and helium content and iii) the pressure decay in the vessel. The outcomes of this scaling indicate that the interaction between separate, closely localized units does not play a prominent role for the present experiments. It is therefore reasonable to model several units as one large component with equivalent heat transfer area and total water flow rate.

본 연구는 수출과채류 시설원예 재배농가의 에너지 절감을 위한 보온자재의 개발을 목표로 수행되었으며 본 보에서는 시설 온실에 사용되어지는 단일 보온자재와 조합형 다겹보온자재에 대해 보온 특성을 조사하기 위하여 실험과 수치해석을 수행하였다. 실험해석의 경우, 실험모듈을 통해 내부 열원의 보온 효과를 조사하기 위해 내 외부의 온도는 K형 열전대와 데이터 획득 장치로 측정하였고, 측정된 온도를 통해 보온자재의 보온특성을 구명하였다. 수치해석은 상용코드인 CFX-11을 이용하였고 다겹보온자재의 내부 공기층은 고려하지 않고 해석하였으며 해석에서 필요한 다겹보온자재의 물성치인 열전도도는 과도 열선법에 의해 측정되는 QTM-500을 사용하였다. 실험 결과, 조합형 보온자재가 단겹 보온자재에 비해 약 45~55%까지 보온율이 높았고, 조합조건에 따라 보온 효과가 달라지기 때문에 보온성이 우수한 조합 조건을 얻을 수 있을 것으로 예상된다. 수치해석 결과와 실험 결과와의 보온율을 비교해 보면 수치해석의 결과가 실험 결과의 보온율에 비해 다소 저하하는 경향을 나타내었는데 이는 다겹보온자재 내부의 공기층을 무시하여 나타난 오차로서 향후 보온자재 내부의 공기층을 고려할 경우 보다 정확한 수치해석 결과를 얻을 수 있을 것이다.

The present paper is devoted to investigate dynamic effect and steady-state performance of methane autothermal reformer theoretically and numerically. In order to simplify the complicated phenomena in the system, axisymmetric heterogeneous reactor model is developed. As autothermal reaction takes places on catalyst surface between bulk gas and catalyst, volume averaging method is incorporated using porous medium approach. To understand the start-up process which occurs in the reactor is highly important. Therefore, in this paper we get various goverining equations to find out transient and steady solutions and time scale for start-up introducing dimensionless variables. Start-up is a significant issue in reforming reaction for automobile system and fueling of SOFC-based auxiliary power units. This paper deals with characteristics of heat and mass transfer and predicted light-off time in the reformer as oxygen to carbon ratio ($O_2$/C) and amount of feeding gas.

과학위성 1호 원자외선 분광기(FIMS)는 인공위성 발사 및 궤도 운영시 경험하는 환경하에서 기계구조적인 안정성과 광학적 성능의 저하를 최소화하도록 설계되어야 한다. 이를 위하여 원자외선 분광기의 광학 성능과 직접적으로 관련되어 있는 회절격자 및 최절격자 마운트의 구조 및 열변형에 대한 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 회절격자 마운트의 고유진동수를 100 Hz 이상 유지하면서 발사시 겪게되는 준 정적 하중에 의한 응력이 회절격자에 직접 전달되지 않고 회절격자 마운트에 의해 상쇄될 수 있도록 하였다. 또한, 온도 변화에 의한 회절격자에 미치는 영향을 계산하기 위하여 시간변화에 따른 분석 및 정적 해석을 수행하였으며, 회절격자 마운트에 의하여 회절격자에 작용하는 열적 변형 및 응력을 충분히 감쇄시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다. 온도 변화에 의한 광학 성능의 변화는 허용오차 범위내에 있음을 알 수 있었다.

High burn-up transformation process in low temperature nuclear fuel oxides material was observed in the early sixties in LWR $UO_2$ fuels, but not studied in depth. Increasing progressively the fuel discharge burn-up in PWR power plants, this material transformation was again observed in 1985 and identified as an important process to be accounted for in the fuel simulations due to its expected consequence on fuel heat transfer and therefore on the fission gas release. Fission gas release was one of the major concerns in PWR fuels, mainly during transient or accidents events. The behaviour of such a material in case of rod failure was also an important aspect to analyse. Therefore several national and international programs were launched during the last 25 years to understand the mechanisms leading to the high burn-up structure formation and to evaluate the physical properties of the final material. A large observations database has been acquired, using the more sophisticated techniques available in hot cells. This large database is discussed in this paper, providing basis to build an engineering-model, which is based on phenomenological description data and information accumulated. In addition this paper has the ambition to construct the best logical model to understand restructuring.

본 연구에서는 고온에 노출되는 열-점소성 거동의 해석을 위해 소성유동, 크 리프, 응력풀림(stress relaxation)등의 거동을 동시에 다룰 수 있는 통일구성방정식 모델에 대해 논하고 적절한 모델을 선정한다. 이 모델은 미소변형이론에 근거한 것 이므로 구조물의 거동을 소변형률(small strain)과 소회전(small rotation)의 범위내 로 가정하여 해석한다.선정된 모델에 대해서 시간변화율 형태의 방정식으로부터 유 한요소법을 통한 수치화와 사용된 구성방정식을 효율적으로 처리할 수 있는 수치해석 법상의 알고리듬을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘을 사용하여 유한요소법 전산코드를 적상하고, 작성된 코드를 이용하여 고온에서 하중을 받는 단순보와 국부적으로 심한 가열을 받는 구조물에 적용하여 고전적인 구성방정식으로 복합적인 해석이 어려웠던 열-점소성 거동을 효과적으로 해석할 수 있음을 보인다. 본 논문은 응력해석에 주안 점을 두었으므로 열해석에 관한 상세한 논의는 가급적 생략하기로 한다.

A technique for measuring surface temperature field in micro scale is newly proposed, which uses temperature-sensitive fluorescent (TSF) dye coated on the surface and is easily implemented with a fluorescence microscope and a CCD camera. The TSF dye is chosen among mixtures of various chemical compositions including rhodamine B as the fluorescent dye to be most sensitive to temperature change. In order to examine the effectiveness of this temperature measurement technique, numerical analysis and experiment on transient conduction heat transfer for two different substrate materials, i. e., silicon and glass, are performed. In the experiment, to accurately measure the temperature with high resolution temperature calibration curves were obtained with very fine spatial units. The experimental results agree qualitatively well with the numerical data in the silicon and glass substrate cases so that the present temperature measurement method proves to be quite reliable. In addition, it is noteworthy that the glass substrate is more appropriate to be used as thermally-insulating locally-heating heater in micro thermal devices. This fact is identified in the temperature measuring experiment on the locally-heating heaters made on the wafer of silicon and glass substrates. Accordingly, this technique is capable of accurate and non-intrusive high-resolution measurement of temperature field in microscale.

The stability of the two-phase flow in a heated channel is of great importance in the design and operation of the boilers and light water nuclear reactors, because it can cause flow oscillations and lead to a violation of thermal limits with resultant overheating of the channels and cladding. This paper presents a systematic evaluation to the variation effects of the basic four (4) dimensionless parameters in a homogeneous equilibrium model. The flow stability is examined on the ground of static characteristic curves. The complicated transfer function of flow dynamics which gives consideration to the transport lag of density wave is derived, and the transient flow stability is analysed by applying the Nyquist stability criterion in control engineering. The analysis results summed up as follows 1. The coolant flow becomes stable in large friction number and specific flow, while it is unstabale in small friction number and flow. 2. Large phase-change number and Froude number destabilize the two-phase flow, but small numbers stabilize it. The effect to variation of phase-change number is more dominant compared with Froude number. 3. The dynamic analysis is required to hold the sufficient safety of heated channels since only static results does not keep it. The special attention could be payed in the design and operation of heat engines, because the unstaable region exists within the stable boundary at small and middle phase-change number and Froude number.
