An experimental investigation has been conducted to determine the flow pattern for two-component , two-phase mixtures which flow vertically upwards in concentric annuli based on the measurement for the local void fraction and the distribution of the local void fraction in various radial locations in the annular gap. The annular test section consists of a lucite outer tube whose inside diameter is 38mm and a stainless steel rod, The rod diameter is either :2mm,16mm or 20mm. It is demonstrated that the probability density function of the fluctuations in void fraction may be used as an flow pattern indicator and the local void fraction distribution depends on the flow pattern and radial location in the annular passage.

이상유동 현상의 해석은 원자력 발전소의 각계통과 가압경수형 원자로의 안전성 분석, 각종 열 수력학적 현상의 해석 그리고 타 산업체의 필요성에 의해 그 연구의 중대성이 커지고 있다. 이러한 이상유동의 현상 해석에 있어서 국부적 영역에서의 기포계수 결정은 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 이상유동시 국부적 기포계수의 측정을 위하여 원자로내 부수로를 모사한 수직사각 유로를 제작하였다. 또한 국부적 영역에서의 기포계수 측정에 적합한 것으로 알려진 전기탐침 및 그 부가회로를 제작하였으며, 완성된 탐침을 이용하여 실제 비등이 발생하는 실험용 유로내에서 국부적 기포계수의 측정을 시도하였다. 실험 결과 제작된 전기탐침 및 그부가회로의 타당성을 확인 할 수 있었다.

관내 2상 유동의 기공률을 효과적으로 측정할 수 있는 3-ring 임피던스미터를 이용하여 실제 슬러그류 및 기포류를 측정하였다. 먼저, 임피던스미터의 신호와 기공률 사이의 보정곡선을 구하였다. 임피던스미터는 동일한 기공률을 갖는 슬러그류와 기포류에 대해 각각 다른 보정곡선을 나타내는 특성을 보였다. 임피던스미터는 유동패턴에 따라 두 보정 곡선 중 하나를 선택해야 하며, 기공률 측정 결과로 부터 유동 패턴을 판단할 수 있었다. 두 개의 임피던스미터를 통해 측정된 기공률 변화 곡선으로부터 기포의 이동 속도, 크기를 효과적으로 측정할 수 있었다.

VARTM(Vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding) 공정은 OoA(Out of Autoclave)에 속하는 저가형 공정기술로 다양한 분야에 널리 사용되어 왔다. 그러나 오토클레이브 공정보다 품질이 낮아 고신뢰성이 요구되는 항공산업에는 적용하기 어려웠다. VARTM 공정의 주요 문제는 오토클레이브 대비 낮은 섬유부피분율과 높은 Void 함량에 의한 기계적 물성의 손실이었다. 따라서 많은 연구자들이 Void를 줄이고 섬유부피분율을 높일 수 있는 연구를 수행해 왔다. 이러한 연구의 흐름에 따라 본 연구에서는 수지 주입 과정 중 대기압을 제어하는 방법이 섬유부피분율을 높이고 Void를 감소시킬 수 있는지 검토하였다. 신뢰성 평가는 Void와 연관성이 있는 압축강도시험, 섬유부피분율 분석, 광학현미경 촬영을 통해 확인하였다. 결과적으로 VARTM 공정에서 수지 주입과정 중 대기압을 단계별로 높이는 방법이 섬유부피분율 증가와 Void 감소에 직접적인 효과가 있음을 확인하였다.

An experimental study on the countercurrent two-phase flow in narrow rectangular channels has been performed. The void fraction and the pressure gradient were investigated using air and water in 760 mm long, 100 mm wide. vertical test sections with 2, 3 and 5 mm channel gaps. Tests were systematically performed with downward liquid superficial velocities and upward gas velocities covering 0 to 0.08 and 0 to 2.5 m/s ranges. respectively. the experimental results were compared with the previous correlations, which were mainly for round tubes, and the qualitative trends were found to be in good agreements. However the quantitative discrepancies were hardly neglected. as the superficial gas velocities increased, the void fraction increased and the pressure gradient decreased, where the effects of the liquid superficial velocities were infinitesimal. as the gap width of the rectangular channel increased the void fraction and the 2-phase frictional pressure gradient approached those values for the round tubes. Equi-periphery diameter, rather than the hydraulic diameter, seemed to be more effective in the analysis of two-phase flow behavior.

Local two-phase flow parameters of subcooled flow boiling in inclined annulus were measured to investigate the effect of inclination on the internal flow structure. Two-conductivity probe technique was applied to measure local gas phasic parameters, including void fraction, vapor bubble frequency, chord length, vapor bubble velocity and interfacial area concentration. Local liquid velocity was measured by Pilot tube. Experiments were conducted for three angles of inclination; 0$^{\circ}$(vertical), 30$^{\circ}$, 60$^{\circ}$. The system pressure was maintained at atmospheric pressure. The range of average void fraction was up to 10% and the average liquid superficial velocities were less than 1.3 m/sec. The results of experiments showed that the distributions of two-phase How parameters were influenced by the angle of channel inclination. Especially, the void fraction and chord length distributions were strongly affected by the increase of inclination angle, and flow pattern transition to slug flow was observed depending on the How conditions. The profiles of vapor velocity, liquid velocity and interfacial area concentration were found to be affected by the non-symmetric bubble size distribution in inclined channel. Using the measured distributions of local phasic parameters, an analysis for predicting average void fraction was performed based on the drift flux model and flowing volumetric concentration. And it was demonstrated that the average void fraction can be more appropriately presented in terms of flowing volumetric concentration.

The reduction of CO2 emissions has been a key target in the marine industry since the IMO's MEPC published its findings in 2009. Air lubrication method is one of the mature technologies for commercialization to reduce the frictional resistance and enhance fuel efficiency of ships. Since the air lubrication pattern varies according to the ship's standing position and injection flow rate, in order to effectively control the air lubrication system, it is necessary to be able to judge the air layer development state based on the information collected from the monitoring sensor. In this study, we performed the air lubrication ship simulation experiment to measure the void fraction and the frictional resistance. The void fraction was measured to confirm the behavior of the air. Through the measurement of the frictional resistance, the change in frictional resistance reduction rate from the injection point to the longitudinal direction of the ship was confirmed. Based on the measurement results, correlation analysis was performed on void fraction and frictional resistance reduction rate.

In the one-dimensional thermal-hydraulic (TH) codes, a subcooled boiling model to predict the void fraction profiles in a vertical channel consists of wall heat flux partitioning, the vapor condensation rate, the bubbly-to-slug flow transition criterion, and drift-flux models. Model performance has been investigated in detail, and necessary refinements have been incorporated into the Safety and Performance Analysis Code (SPACE) developed by the Korean nuclear industry for the safety analysis of pressurized water reactors (PWRs). The necessary refinements to models related to pumping factor, net vapor generation (NVG), vapor condensation, and drift-flux velocity were investigated in this study. In particular, a new NVG empirical correlation was also developed using artificial neural network (ANN) techniques. Simulations of a series of subcooled flow boiling experiments at pressures ranging from 1 to 149.9 bar were performed with the refined SPACE code, and reasonable agreement with the experimental data for the void fraction in the vertical channel was obtained. From the root-mean-square (RMS) error analysis for the predicted void fraction in the subcooled boiling region, the results with the refined SPACE code produce the best predictions for the entire pressure range compared to those using the original SPACE and RELAP5 codes.

축방향 비균일 열유량을 가지는 서브쿨드 비등영역에서 첨단적인 mechanistic 모델을 사용하여 기포계수를 정확히 계산하고저 한다. 이 모델에서는 Lahey/Ohama model에서 구한 기포계수에 의존하는 drift-flux계수를 사용하였고 또한 실제 실험치와 비교하여 질량유량에 의존하는 응축계수의 상관식을 구하여 사용하였다. 이 모델은 고 정확도를 증명하기 위해 잘 알려진 실험치들과 비교되었고 최종적으로 고리 1호기 1주기의 고온 연료집합체 기포계수를 계산하므로서 profilefit 모델과 비교되었다. 이러한 계산결과는 실험치와 잘 일치하고 있으며 profile-fit model은 서브쿨드 비등영역에서 기포 계수를 낮게 계산하고 있음이 밝혀졌다.
