This study presents a coolant void reactivity analysis of Canada Deuterium Uranium (CANDU)-6 and Advanced Canada Deuterium Uranium Reactor-700 (ACR-700) fuel lattices using a Monte Carlo code. The reactivity changes when the coolant was voided were assessed in terms of the contributions of four factors and spectrum shifts. In the case of single bundle coolant voiding, the contribution of each of the four factors in the ACR-700 lattice is large in magnitude with opposite signs, and their summation becomes a negative reactivity effect in contrast to that of the CANDU-6 lattice. Unlike the coolant voiding in a single fuel bundle, the $2{\times}2$ checkerboard coolant voiding in the ACR-700 lattice shows a positive reactivity effect. The neutron current between the no-void and voided bundles, and the four factors of each bundle were analyzed to figure out the mechanism of the positive coolant void reactivity of the checkerboard voiding case. Through a sensitivity study of fuel enrichment, type of burnable absorber, and moderator to fuel volume ratio, a design strategy for the CANDU reactor was suggested in order to achieve a negative coolant void reactivity even for the checkerboard voiding case.

It has been increasingly proving in interest of environment pollution around the world. so, recycling of waste resources are seriously taken into consideration. Great deal of coolant for the car have been wasted for along time. due to the end of life time of them. Therefore, validities of wasted coolant as an agent for concrete are described in this paper. Mechanical properties of concrete using coolant wastes is investigated. As contents of coolant wastes increase, slump and slump flow decrease, while air content show reverse tendency. setting time shows to be accelerated with increase of waste contents. As for the effect of low curing temperature, low curing temperature increase compressive strength with increase of coolant waste. Application of coolant waste to cold weather concrete is considered to achieve favorable effects.

The research for variation of coolant film thickness and separating force has been investigated following the examination for friction profile of work roll and roughness change of strip surface in rolling mill producting actual commercial products. The obtained results are as follows ; (1) Coolant film thickness in cold rolling has been increased relative to the circumferential velocity of work roll, and formation of coolant films has decreased with the smaller diameter of work roll. (2) Separating force is related to the formation of coolant film, and large separating force is needed to the formation of coolant film but it is constant after formation of appropriate film. (3) Wear and roughness alleviation of work roll is larger in bottom-roll than in top-roll on cold surface is larger in the direction of width than in roll direction, and changes of roughness and strip surface hardness rarely occurred after 3 passes.

In this study, the corrosion resistance of the aluminum casting commercial materials used in the automotive engine parts with respect to the anti-freeze coolant environment has been tested by the potentio dynamic method. especially, the effect of borax additive in engine coolant on the corrosion resistance of the aluminum casting materials has been evaluated. It was found that the borax in commercial engine coolant, used to prevent the corrosion in cast iron engine, causes a pit corrosion of aluminum casting materials at high temperature. During the engine endurance test with the coolant containing borax, the aluminum cylinder head was failed by the pitting corrosion near the exhaust port. Conclusively, it was suggested that the use of borax in the anti-freeze coolant be restricted for the automotive with aluminum cylinder head.

As the preliminary stage for the countermeasure of thermal loading in miller cycle engine, coolant flows in the cylinder head of base engine including exhaust valve bridge were visualized and analyzed by using PIV technique. It was found that low coolant velocity regions were around exhaust valve bridge, around which stagnation of the coolant flow was observed due to the complex geometry configuration of water jacket. And velocity variation between each cylinder was remarkable. For the countermeasure of these, it is necessary to enhance coolant flow around exhaust valve bridge and to improve the deviation of coolant flow between each cylinder.

The present study predicted the effect of the flow rate of coolant on the absorption performance of a vertical falling film type absorber Heat and mass transfer peformances were numerically investigated. The exit temperatures of solution and coolant were decreased as the flow rate of the coolant was increased at the film Reynolds number of 100. The absorption mass flux was increased and then decreased as the distance from the inlet of the absorber was increased. The distance showing the maximum absorption mass flux was ranged from 0.3 to 0.5m. The heat flux and the absorption mass flux were increased and then slowly decreased as the flow rate of the coolant was increased. The maximum values were obtained at the flow rate of coolant of 2.0L/min.

The sensing of a stack coolant deficiency is very important in that cooling performance of a fuel cell, overheating prevention of a stack or coolant heater. This paper explains the performance comparison between the coolant contact/noncontact level sensors and coolant deficiency sensing logic using the pressure sensor in a stagnant or circulating flow. Throughout the comparison, the pressure sensor is more suitable than the other sensors in terms of the precision, fast response, sensing frequency. After the experiment, the pressure sensor is equipped to an FCEV(Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle) to verify sensing definitely. There was no miss-sensing using pressure sensor while FCEV runs in the conditions of the paved road and cross country road.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of heat generated by rotating bur on the dental hard tissue in vitro. Freshly extracted molar teeth with normal appearance from early 20's male were collected and experimental teeth were divided into 4 groups and the teeth in each group were prepared class I cavity with different clinical procedures as follows. The four methods were. I. 20,000rpm without coolant II. 20,000rpm with coolant III. 500,000rpm without coolant IV. 500,000rpm with coolant Five teeth were reserved intact as a control group. These teeth were longitudinally split into two parts by means of chisel after class I cavity preparation. In a control group 5 parts were boiled in water for 20 minutes and the other 5 specimens were not boiled. All specimens were immersed in 2% methylene blue dye solution and the image of dye penetration was examined and photographed under stereomicroscope. Followings were the results obtained through the study. 1. In control group, dye penetration of the unboiled specimens was increased than with the boiled group. 2. The specimens prepared cavity without coolant showed decreased dye penetration than with the coolant group. 3. 20,000rpm without coolant group showed the least dye penetration. 4. 500,000rpm with coolant group showed similar level of dye penetration to the unboiled specimens from the control group.

As part of study on thermal hydraulic behavior in the reactor cavity under external vessel cooling in the APR (Advanced Power Reactor) 1400, one dimensional two phase flow of steady state in the reactor cavity have been analyzed to investigate a coolant circulation mass flow rate in the annulus region between the reactor vessel and the insulation material using the RELAP5/MOD3 computer code. The RELAP5/MOD3 results have shown that a two phase natural circulation flow of 300 - 600 kg/s is generated in the annulus region between the reactor vessel and the insulation material when the external vessel cooling has been applied in the APR 1400. An increase in the heat flux of the inner vessel leads to an increase of the coolant mass flow rate. An increase in the coolant outlet area leads to an increase in the coolant circulation mass flow rate, but the coolant inlet area does not effective on the coolant circulation mass flow rate. The change of the lower coolant outlet to a lower position affects the coolant circulation mass flow rate, but the variation trend is not consistent.

In this paper, a multiple comparison was proposed to minimize the amount of coolant. And new coolant level, called "low level", was suggested to show usefulness of multiple comparison for experiments. The amount of this levee is about 1/4 of conventional coolant amount-called "high level", and dry cutting is called "none level". Using these coolant levels, the cutting temperatures of each coolant level in turning process were analyzed by analysis of variance(ANOYA)-test and a multiple comparison. As the result of ANOVA-test, we have just known that the average of temperature of each coolant level is not equal. However by Tukey's HSD, one of multiple comparison. it was analyzed that the average of temperature of low level is similar to that of high levee and different from that of none level.erent from that of none level.
