Configuration of the inlet transition square duct (hereinafter referred to as "transition duct") for heat recovery steam generator (hereinafter referred to as "HRSG") in combined cycle power plant is limited by the construction type of HRSG and plant site condition. The main purpose of the present study is to analyze the effect of a variation in turbulent flow pattern by roof slop angle change of transition duct for horizontal HRSG, which is influencing heat flux in heat transfer structure to the finned tube bank. In this study, a computational fluid dynamics(CFD) is applied to predict turbulent flow pattern and comparisons are made to 1/12th scale cold model test data for verification. Re-normalization group theory (RNG) based k-$\epsilon$ turbulent model, which improves the accuracy for rapidly strained flow and swirling flow in comparison with standard k-$\epsilon$ model, is used for the results cited in this study. To reduce the amount of computer resources required for modeling the finned tube bank, a porous media model is used.

In clinical trials with repeated measurements, the time-averaged difference (TAD) may provide a more powerful evaluation of treatment efficacy than the rate of changes over time when the treatment effect has rapid onset and repeated measurements continue across an extended period after a maximum effect is achieved (Overall and Doyle, Controlled Clinical Trials, 15, 100-123, 1994). The sample size formula has been investigated by many researchers for the evaluation of TAD in two treatment groups. For the evaluation of TAD in multi-arm trials, Zhang and Ahn (Computational Statistics & Data Analysis, 58, 283-291, 2013) and Lou et al. (Communications in Statistics-Theory and Methods, 46, 11204-11213, 2017b) developed the sample size formulas for continuous outcomes and count outcomes, respectively. In this paper, we derive a sample size formula to evaluate the TAD of the repeated binary outcomes in multi-arm trials using the generalized estimating equation approach. This proposed sample size formula accounts for various correlation structures and missing patterns (including a mixture of independent missing and monotone missing patterns) that are frequently encountered by practitioners in clinical trials. We conduct simulation studies to assess the performance of the proposed sample size formula under a wide range of design parameters. The results show that the empirical powers and the empirical Type I errors are close to nominal levels. We illustrate our proposed method using a clinical trial example.

The structure of 3-aminophenol $(CO_2)_1$ cluster was computationally studied both in the ground and the lowest singlet excited electronic states. The ground state structure and binding energy of the cluster was investigated using the second-order M$\ddoot{o}$ller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2) at the complete basis set (CBS) limit. The excited state geometry of the cluster was obtained at the second-order approximate coupled cluster (CC2) level with cc-pVDZ basis set, and the $S_0-S_1$ absorption spectrum was simulated by calculating Franck-Condon overlap integral. The ground state geometry of the global minimum with a very high binding energy of 4.3 kcal/mol was found for the cluster, due to the interaction between amino group and $CO_2$ in addition to the strong $\pi-\pi$ interaction between the aromatic ring and $CO_2$. The excited state geometry shows a very big shift in the position of $CO_2$ compared to the ground state geometry, which results in low intensity and broad envelope in the Franck-Condon simulation.

Doubly stochastic matrices are n$\times$n nonnegative ma-trices whose row and column sums are all 1. Convex polytope $\Omega$$_{n}$ of doubly stochastic matrices and more generally (R,S), so called transportation polytopes, are important since they form the domains for the transportation problems. A theorem by Birkhoff classifies the extremal matrices of , $\Omega$$_{n}$ and extremal matrices of transporta-tion polytopes (R,S) were all classified combinatorially. In this article, we consider signed version of $\Omega$$_{n}$ and (R.S), obtain signed Birkhoff theorem; we define a new class of convex polytopes (R,S), calculate their dimensions, and classify their extremal matrices, Moreover, we suggest an algorithm to express a matrix in (R,S) as a convex combination of txtremal matrices. We also give an example that a polytope of signed matrices is used as a domain for a decision problem. In this context of finite reflection(Coxeter) group theory, our generalization may also be considered as a generalization from type $A_{*}$ n/ to type B$_{n}$ D$_{n}$. n/.

Compared to traditional transverse integration methods, the variational nodal method, with its unique advantages, is more suitable for high-fidelity calculations of reactor physics in reactors with complex geometries and finer detail descriptions. In this study, the basic theory of the variational nodal method was derived and the VINUS code is developed. The neutron solver based on this method is adaptable to various geometric models, and showcased the code's fundamental framework. On this basis, a set of self-designed macroscopic cross-section benchmarks, actual macroscopic cross-section benchmark VVER-440, and few-group microscopic cross-section benchmark RBEC-M for fast spectrum reactors were used to verify different functionalities of VINUS. The results were shown that VINUS code maintains good computational accuracy and convergence trends. For the VVER-440 benchmarks, the deviation of k_eff of VINUS from reference is less than 100 pcm, and the maximum power deviation is less than 4 %. For the RBEC-M, the deviation of k_eff is 125 pcm, and the maximum power deviation is less than 5 %. These outcomes collectively demonstrate the solver's potential for engineering applications in future advanced reactor designs.

본 연구에서는 tetrazine과 oxadiazole 등의 질소가 많이 함유되어 있는 헤테로 고리화합물을 가진 음이온과 NH₂OH, NH₂NH₂, CH₈N₆, C₂H₅N₅ 등의 양이온들과의 이온 결합을 통하여 생성된 에너지 염(energetic salts)에 대하여 열역학적 안정성, 밀도, 그리고 폭발 성능 등을 밀도 범함수 이론(dentisy functional theory, DFT)을 이용하여 계산하고 기존의 고성능 에너지 물질들과 비교하였다. 분자 구조 최적화 및 안정화 에너지는 B3LYP/cc-pVDZ 이론 수준에서 그리고 엔탈피 계산은 G2MP2 이론 수준에서 계산하였으며 폭발 성능은 Kamlet-Jacobs 방정식을 통하여 계산하였다. 결과적으로 크기가 작은 NH₃OH⁺(1)와 NH₂NH₃⁺(2) 양이온을 활용한 에너지 염은 폭발 성능 향상에 도움이 되며, 상대적으로 아미노기(-NH₂)가 많은 CH₉N₆⁺(3) 양이온은 안정성을 높이는데 효과적일 것으로 예측되었다.

건설프로젝트의 성공적인 수행을 위해 의사소통, 협력, 정보공유 등을 포함한 구성원들 간의 협업은 반드시 필요하다. 그러나 프로젝트 조직 내의 협업과정이 성과에 미치는 영향에 대한 분석적인 시도는 부족하였다. 본 연구는 게임이론 기반의 에이전트기반 시뮬레이션을 활용하여 프로젝트 조직 내 협업과정을 보다 명시적으로 이해하는 방법을 제시하였다. 시뮬레이션의 결과로 구성원수준에서의 관계형성과 조직수준에서의 네트워크 발전양상을 관찰할 수 있었다. 본 연구는 프로젝트조직 내의 협업과정 분석방법 개발을 위한 기초연구이며, 향후 연구를 통해 조직 내 업무수행 프로세스, 생산작업 프로세스, 관리 프로세스 등의 부분과 결합하여 프로젝트 성과를 예측하는 방법으로 발전될 수 있을 것이다.

The effects of windbreaks on the reduction of suspended particles are investigated using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model with the ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence closure scheme based on the renormalization group (RNG) theory. In the control experiment, the recirculation zones behind the storage piles are generated and, as a whole, relatively monotonous flow patterns appear. When the windbreaks with the 0% porosity are constructed, the recirculation zones are generated by the windbreaks and very complicated flow patterns appear due to the interference between the windbreaks and storage piles. The porosity of the windbreaks suppresses the generation of the recirculation zone and decreases the wind velocity in the windbreaks as well as that outside the windbreaks. As the emission of suspended particles from the storage piles are closely related with the friction velocity at the surfaces of the storage piles, variation of the friction velocity and total amount of the emission of the suspended particles with the height and porosity of the windbreaks are investigated. The results show that higher and more porous windbreaks emit less suspended particles and that the reduction effect of the porosity is still more effective than that of the height. In the case of the windbreak with 30 m height and 50% porosity, friction velocities above the storage piles are smaller than the critical friction velocity above which particles would be suspended. As a result, total amount of suspended particles are much fewer than those in other cases.

본 연구에서는 복합화력발전소 가스터빈 출구가스 안내덕트 내부의 가스유동장이 배열회수보일러 전열기구에 미치는 영향을 CFD기법을 이용하여 분석하였다. 안내덕트 내부 난류흐름의 경우, 유속의 편차가 크고 선회 효과 및 상승류 현상이 심한 특징을 가지고 있음으로 이와 같은 유동의 수치해석을 위해 2개 방정식 난류점성 모델 중 RNG k-${\epsilon}$ 모델을 사용하였으며 유동장의 영향을 가장 많이 받는 배열 회수보일러 최종과열기관의 열전달특성변화를 파악하기 위하여 NTU 방식을 이용한 수치해석결과와, 산업계에서 적용하는 설계기법에 의한 결과를 비교하였다.
