It is necessary to evaluate periodically the performance of the AOV(air-operated valve) which is used for controlling flow and pressure in nuclear power plant. The required thrust for actuating valve and available thrust of actuator are calculated with conditions of flow through a valve in this study and operating performance is analyzed through comparing two thrusts. In general, differential pressure is increased according to increase the flow rate and differential pressure affects the required thrust of valve. We found the fact that it is possible not to close the valve perfectly because required thrust becomes bigger than available thrust of actuator.

Control algorithms of an air handling unit by using the mixing box plenum pressures were developed and verified by experiments. Control algorithms developed for this study were the setpoint algorithms for the outdoor damper position, the outdoor/fixed plenum pressure, and the return/exhaust plenum pressure. The outdoor/fixed plenum pressure setpoint was used to control the bypass damper position, and the return/exhaust plenum pressure setpoint was used to control the return fan speed. Experimental results showed the good control of the required outdoor air demand. Therefore, setpoint algorithms developed for this study may effectively be applied for the control of the VAV air handling unit.

The collapse pressure of tubes is determined experimentally by Tschoepe and Maison for various materials with different geometries. The results are compared with those obtained by ASME Codes UG-31 and UG-28. A collage pressure is the pressure required for the incipient yielding stress of the tubes with and without ovality. This collapse pressure is compared with the experimental results by Tschoepe and Maison. The present investigation is towards finding the collapse pressure required to bring the entire wall of tubes into a state of plastic flow for the pipes, with ovality and without ovality. This collapse pressure is compared with the collapse pressure obtained through experiments in the present investigation. The experimental results are compared with the pressure obtained by FEM(finite element methods). The FEM results are then compared with results obtained through an approximate plastic analysis of the strain hardening material, SA312-TP304 stainless steel. The structural integrity evaluation is performed for the heat exchanger used in an actual nuclear power plant by using various methods described in this paper. The results obtained by the various analyses and the FEM are discussed. consequently, the paper is oriented towards an actual design purpose of d heat exchanger in an industrial environment, rather than for the purpose of an academic research project investigation.

The main scope of this paper is to see if the conventional pump can be properly used for a specific fuel, Di-methyl Ether (DME) despite of its low lubricity and high reactivity in the experimental conditions. A wobble plate type fuel pump was connected to the common rail to verify that the pump could deliver the fuel at the required pressure and resultantly DME could be used as fuel without modifying the original pump. At each required pressure (30 Mpa, 35 Mpa, 40 Mpa, 45 Mpa, and 50 Mpa), the pump met the pressure required by the common rail. In addition, pump performance experiments tended to follow the usual performance curve while the flow rate decreased as the pressure increased. The maximum flow rate of the pump was 470 kg/h at 30 Mpa and all measurements were taken with keeping DME temperature below 60℃.

Cavity tone is generated due to the feedback between flow and acoustic wave. It is recognized that the period is determined by the time required for the flow convection in one direction, the time required for the acoustic propagation in the other direction and the time for phase shift depending on the flows and mode. Most of the phenomena have been investigated by experiments and a simple but fundamental theory. But the cause of the phase shift and the correctness of the theory have not been clearly explained so far. In this paper, the phenomena are calculated numerically to obtain detail information of flow and acoustic wave to explain the mechanism including the phase. High order high resolution scheme of optimized high order compact is used to resolve the small acoustic quantities and large flow quantities at the same time. The data are reduced using cross correlation function in space and time and cross spectral density function which has phase information. Abrupt change in pressure near corner in cavity is observed and is relate to phase variation. The time required for the feedback between the flow and acoustic wave is calculated after the numerical simulation f3r various modes. The periods based on the time calculated using the above method and direct observation from the acoustic waves generated and propagated in the numerical simulation are compared. It is found that no phase shift is required if we examine the time required carefully. Rossiter's formula for the cavity tone used for quick estimation needs to be modified far some modes.

발사체 관련 가스공급은 타 분야 가스공급과는 달리 대유량의 가스공급이 요구되며, 가스공급시 공급압력이 감소하여, 유량을 공급하는 동안 요구되는 압력을 만족시키지 못하는 현상이 흔히 발생한다. 공급압력 감소는 레귤레이터의 특성과 밀접하게 연관되어 있다. 본 논문에서는 공압 레귤레이터를 2차측 압력을 일정하게 유지시키는 일종의 제어계로 간주하여 공압 레귤레이터의 공급압력 강하 제어방법을 고찰하였다. 직동식 레귤레이터는 유량공급시 정적 평형 오차가 수반되며, 오차의 분석은 압력오차에 대한 밸브 이동거리의 비로서 정의되는 민감도로서 해석될 수 있음을 제시하였다. 직동식 레귤레이터의 오차는 비례식 및 적산식 제어계의 개념을 도입한 파이롯 레귤레이터의 도입을 통하여 개선될 수 있음을 보였다.

공압시스템은 지상설비 및 발사체 공급시스템에 광범위하게 활용되고 있다. 공압시스템의 목적은 수요처에서 요구되는 유량 및 압력을 요구조건에 맞게 공급하는 것이다. 발사체 관련 가스공급은 타 분야 가스공급과는 달리 대유량의 가스공급이 일반적으로 요구되며, 이때 공급압력이 감소되어 유량을 공급하는 동안 요구되는 압력을 만족시키지 못하는 현상이 흔히 발생한다. 공급시 압력감소는 레귤레이터의 특성과 직접적으로 연관되어 있다. 본 논문은 대유량 가스공급시 공급압력 감소와 관련된 레귤레이터의 특성을 제어이론의 측면에서 검토하였고 이를 개선시킬 수 있는 방법을 이론적으로 제시하였다.

This paper presents ejection of high viscosity fluids with magnetostrictive inkjet printhead(Magjet), which is not common with any other printhead. The MagJet uses a magnetostrictive material, Terfenol-D rod with 10-mm in diameter and 50-mm in length, as an actuation mechanism. It has been known that high viscosity is often an obstacle in ejecting small and mono-disperse droplets. We calculated required pressure with fluidic inertia (Bernoulli equation) and viscous loss (Hagen Poiseuille equation). The required pressure for ejecting a droplet is 1300kPa. The generated force and displacement with Terfenol-D rod are estimated to be 480N (2600kPa) and $28{\mu}m$, respectively. It was enough that Magjet eject high viscosity fluid (Max 1000cP). The experiments are performed to eject the high viscosity fluid with Magjet. The ejection of high viscosity fluids is successful with the aid of Terfenol-D's high performance.

Pool boiling experiments are performed within an isolated bubble regime at inclination angles of 0° and 45°. When a bubble grows and departs from the heating surface, the pressure, buoyancy, and surface tension force play important roles. The curvature and base diameter are required to calculate the pressure force, the bubble volume is required to calculate the buoyancy force, and the contact angle and base diameter are required to calculate the surface tension force. The contact angle, base diameter, and volume of the bubbles are evaluated using images captured via a high-speed camera. The surface tension force equation proposed by Fritz is modified with the contact angles obtained in this study. When the bubble grows, the contact angle decreases slowly. However, when the bubble departs, the contact angle rapidly increases owing to necking. At an inclination angle of 0°, the contact angle is calculated as 82.88° at departure. Additionally, the advancing and receding contact angles are calculated as 70.25° and 82.28° at departure, respectively, at an inclination angle of 45°. The dynamic behaviors of bubble growth and departure are discussed with forces by pressure, buoyancy, and surface tension.

안전밸브는 정압기지 내에 정압기의 파괴 또는 관 내 수분의 응축 등으로 인한 관내 압력의 비정상적인 증가를 자동적으로 완화시켜주는 메커니즘을 가지고 있는 밸브이다. 따라서 정압기지의 안전을 위해서 안전밸브의 유동 특성과 유동 형태를 살펴보는 것은 매우 중요하다. 본 논문은 안전밸브의 분출용량과 필요분출면적에 따른 유동 특성을 수치해석을 통해서 분석하였다. 본 결과를 국내 외 안전밸브 관련 규정인 미국의 API(America Petroleum Institute), 유럽 연합의 EN(European Standard), 프랑스의 NF(Norme Francise)를 이용하여 분석, 비교하였다. 또한 안전밸브의 최대 필요 분출 면적을 이용하여 국내 및 국외 규정을 각각 적용하였을 때의 안전밸브의 필요 설치 수량에 대한 고찰을 해보았다.
