Busbar has been used as electric conductor within extra high voltage (EHV) gas insulated switchgear (GIS), which makes EHV GIS higher security, smaller size and lower cost. However, the main fault of GIS is overheating of busbar connection parts, circuit breaker and isolating switch contact parts, which has been already restricting development of GIS to a large extent. In this study, a coupled magneto-flow-thermal analysis is used to investigate the thermal properties of GIS busbar in steady-state. A three-dimensional (3-D) finite element model (FEM) is built to calculate multiphysics fields including electromagnetic field, flow field and thermal field in steady-state. The influences of current on the magnetic flux density, flow velocity and heat distribution has been investigated. Temperature differences of inner wall and outer wall are investigated for busbar tank and conducting rod. Considering the end effect in the busbar, temperature rise difference is compared between end sections and the middle section. In order to obtain better heat dissipation effect, diameters of conductor and tank are optimized based on temperature rise simulation results. Temperature rise tests have been done to validate the 3-D simulation model, which is observed a good correlation with the simulation results. This study provides technical support for optimized structure of the EHV GIS busbar.

구조전지에서 멀티스케일로 일어나는 다중물리현상은 기계적 물성을 테스트하는 것을 어렵게 한다. 본 연구에서는 구조전지 셀에 적합한 기계적 물성 테스트 방법을 이용하여 탄소섬유직물의 전해질 코팅이 기계적 성능에 미치는 효과를 알아보았다. 이를 위해 ASTM의 표준 시편 규격을 참고하여 2가지 종류의 시편을 제작하였다. 기계적 물성 실험은 탄소섬유직물에 전해질을 도포하여 전해질 코팅을 수행하고 이를 다시 에폭시에 경화를 시켜 시편을 만들고 만능 인장시험기를 이용하여 인장실험을 진행하였다. 실험결과, 탄소섬유직물에 전해질의 코팅이 기계적물성에는 큰 영향을 주지 않음을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 실험에 이용한 축소된 규격의 시편이 타당함을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this work, the finite element method was used to investigate the shifts of resonance frequencies and quality factor of whispering-gallery-mode (WGM) for an opto-fluidic ring resonator (OFRR) biosensor. To describe the near-field radiation transfer, the time-domain Maxwell's equations were employed and solved by using the in-plane TE wave application mode of the COMSOL Multiphysics with RF module. The OFRR biosensor model under current study includes a glass capillary with a diameter of 100 mm and wall thickness of 3.0 mm. The resonance energy spectrum curves in the wavelength range from 1545 nm to 1560 nm were examined under different biosensing conditions. We mainly studied the sensitivity of resonance shifts affected by changes in the effective thickness of the sensor resonator ring with a 3.0 mm thick wall, as well as changes in the refractive index (RI) of the medium inside ring resonators with both 2.5 mm and 3.0 mm thick walls. In the bulk RI detection, a sensitivity of 23.1 nm/refractive index units (RIU) is achieved for a 2.5 mm thick ring. In small molecule detection, a sensitivity of 26.4 pm/nm is achieved with a maximum Q-factor of $6.3{\times}10^3$. These results compare favorably with those obtained by other researchers.

경량골재 사전흡수에 의한 콘크리트 내 수분이동 변화와 수축 저감 효과를 파악하기 위하여 일반콘크리트 및 경량콘크리트의 수분이동, 열전달, 변형률의 다중물리모델의 해석과 실험을 수행하였다. 그 결과 동일 물-결합재비일 경우 경량 콘크리트와 일반 콘크리트와의 습도 변화 비교는 모두 경량 콘크리트가 일반 콘크리트보다 초기재령, 장기 재령 모두에서 작은 습도 감소를 나타내어 경량 골재 사전흡수수에 의한 수분 공급이 효과적으로 이루어진 것으로 판단된다. 이에 따라 경량 콘크리트는 일반 콘크리트에 비해 수축변형률 크기 및 분포 모두 감소하였으며, 수축저감효과는 물-시멘트비 0.3에서는 초기재령에서, 물-시멘트비 0.5에서는 초기재령, 장기재령 모두에서 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 수분이동 및 변형률 해석과 모형실험을 통해 일련된 연구에서 도출한 수분이동 특성값과 습도, 수축 관련식은 적합한 것으로 판단되며, 향후 경량콘크리트의 부등수축해석에 적절히 활용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

In this study we investigated ac transport current losses in the face to face stack for the anti-parallel current flow, and compared the electromagnetic properties with those of the single SC tape as well as those of the same stack for the parallel current path. The gap between the SC tapes in the stack varied in order to verify the electromagnetic influence of the neighbors when current flows in opposite direction, and the model was implemented in the finite element method program by the commercial software, COMSOL Multiphysics 4.2a. Conclusively speaking, the loss was remarkably decreased for the anti-parallel current case, which is attributed the magnetic flux compensation between the SC layers due to the opposite direction of the current flows. As the gap between SC tapes was increased, the loss mitigation became less effective. Besides, the current density distribution is very flat cross the sample width for the narrower gap case, which is believed to be benefit for the power electric system. These results are all in good agreement with those predicted theoretically for an infinite bifilar stack.

산소호흡기의 실질적인 개발 제작 및 안정성 파악을 위해서는 산소유동의 이론적인 연구가 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 상용 해석 툴인 COMSOL 멀티피직스를 이용하여 산소호흡기의 사용시간 연장을 위한 고압용 감압기 설계를 진행하였다. 기존 감압기의 오리피스 내 핀 형태의 실린더 삽입 방법을 제안했으며, 새로 제시한 오리피스에 대해 3 mm, 6 mm 그리고 9 mm의 길이에서 유동 특성 분석 및 최적 길이를 도출하였다. 기존 감압기에서 토출되는 질량유량 0.028 kg/s 을 기준으로, 최대 감압기 입구 압력인 300 bar 경우 약 33%, 감압기 입구 압력조건인 50 bar, 75 bar 그리고 100 bar에서는 평균 32.71% 내외로 기존 질량조건을 만족하였다. 가공 용이성을 고려할 때 기존의 감압기와 길이가 동일하여 별도의 가공이 필요 없는 3 mm가 가장 적합하다고 판단된다.

A preliminary study of a new pulsatile pump that will work to a frequency greater than 1 Hz, is presented. The fluid-structure interaction between a Newtonian blood flow and a piston drive that moves with periodic speed is simulated. The mechanism is of double effect and has four valves, two at the input flow and two at the output flow; the valves are simulated with specified velocity of closing and reopening. The simulation is made with finite elements software named COMSOL Multiphysics 3.3 to resolve the flow in a preliminary planar configuration. The geometry is 2D to determine areas of high speeds and high shear stresses that can cause hemolysis and platelet aggregation. The opening and closing valves are modelled by solid structure interacting with flow, the rhythmic opening and closing are synchronized with the piston harmonic movement. The boundary conditions at the input and output areas are only normal traction with reference pressure. On the other hand, the fluid structure interactions are manifested due to the non-slip boundary conditions over the piston moving surfaces, moving valve contours and fix pump walls. The non-physiologic frequency pulsatile pump, from the viewpoint of fluid flow analysis, is predicted feasible and with characteristic of low hemolysis and low thrombogenesis, because the stress tension and resident time are smaller than the limit and the vortices are destroyed for the periodic flow.

The top seeded solution growth (TSSG) method is an alternative technique to grow high-quality SiC crystals that has been actively studied for the last two decades. However, the TSSG method has different issues that need to be resolved when compared to the commercial SiC crystal growing method, i.e., physical vapor transport (PVT). A particular issue of the TSSG method of results from the presence of liquid droplets on the grown crystal that can remain even after crystal growth; this induces residual stress on the crystal surface. Hence, the residual droplet causes several unwanted effects on the crystal such as the initiation of micro-cracks, micro-pipes, and polytype inclusions. Therefore, this study investigated the formation of the residual droplet through multiphysics simulations and lead to the development of a liquid droplet removal method. As a result, we found that although residual liquid droplets significantly apply residual stress on the grown crystal, these could be vaporized by adopting thermal annealing processes after the relevant crystal growing steps.

Helical-coil steam generator (HCSG) technology is a major design candidate for small modular reactors due to its compactness and capability to produce superheated steam with high generation efficiency. In this paper, we investigate the feasibility of the passively autonomous power maneuvering by coupling the 3-D transient multi-physics of a soluble-boron-free (SBF) core with a time-dependent HCSG model. The predictor corrector quasi-static method was used to reduce the cost of the transient 3-D neutronic solution. In the numerical system simulations, the feedwater flow rate to the secondary of the HCSGs is adjusted to extract the demanded power from the primary loop. This varies the coolant temperature at the inlet of the SBF core, which governs the passively autonomous power maneuvering due to the strongly negative coolant reactivity feedback. Here, we simulate a 100-50-100 load-follow operation with a 5%/minute power ramping speed to investigate the feasibility of the passively autonomous load-follow in a 450 MW_th SBF PWR. In addition, the passively autonomous frequency control operation is investigated. The various system models are coupled, and they are solved by an in-house Fortran-95 code. The results of this work demonstrate constant steam temperature in the secondary side and limited variation of the primary coolant temperature. Meanwhile, the variations of the core axial shape index and the core power peaking are sufficiently small.
