PHWR achieves high neutron economy by adopting heavy water as its moderator and coolant. On the other hand it permits much tritium generation, compared to LWR, due to the neutron capture reaction of deuterium in heavy water. Meanwhile in the reactor core, $^3He formed as the result of-decay of tritium, captures a thermal neutron and transforms to tritium again. The existing calculation models on tritium generation in PHWR neglect the contribution of $^3He$ in both moderator and coolant due to its relatively low solubility. However the neutron capture cross-section of $^3He$ is almost $1.6{\times}10^7$ times as large as that of deuterium. That means that the dissolved amount of 0.03 ppm of $^3He$ in heavy water is enough to generate the same amount of tritium as that generated by the deuterium of total heavy water in the system. This study dealt with the contribution of $^3He$ to tritium generation. As a sample case, the contribution of $^3He$ to the tritium generation in Wolsong #1 was evaluated and compared to the measured values. According to the result of this study, it is concluded that $^3He$ in coolant contributes very much to the tritium generation but that in moderator shows negligible effects due to the low solubility and $^4He$ cover gas. At the beginning of the plant operation, the contribution of $^3He$ is slightly greater than the measured value but agrees well with the measured as the operating time increases.

The travel behavior can be analysed microscopically using GPS because the travel characteristics can be found out by travelling two test cars loaded with GPS equipments. The speed difference and spacing variation between the lead vehicle and the following's in uninterrupted flow are the important variables related to capacity and safety. This study analysed these with data obtained by travelling the 4th Line and 28th Line of the national road. The variation width in speed difference in the run time is below 3.0%. But, related to the speed difference in the situation of acceleration and deceleration the difference after 4second is bigger than that just after the start. The spacing variation is similar to this. The spacing just before deceleration concerning safety was analysed. When the theoretical values by the modeling method and observed values were compared, the observed values were analysed 12.52% shorter than the other in average.

Non-breakaway crashworthy sliding posts move rigidly with a vehicle in the early stage of vehicle impact. During this stage, a vehicle imparts its linear momentum to the post, experiencing first-stage speed loss followed by second-stage loss from the crush of the energy-absorbing pipe (EAP) installed under the guide rail. An EAP is the key element of a crashworthy sliding post and should be confined to the post foundation. This paper covers the development of an EAP for a sliding post of 507 kg, which is a sliding post type frequently used in Korea for cantilever signs. Detailed explanations of the designs for an EAP structure using LS-DYNA impact simulation are given, and the crashworthiness of the systems are confirmed through crash tests. The EAP presented in this paper can accommodate impacts from 0.9 ton-60 km/h to 1.3 ton-80 km/h, and is applicable to foundations up to 2.7 m in length.

In an effort to develop and implement an inertial balance with high performance, the response characteristics of a load cell, which are some of the critical parameters for optimal system design, were evaluated using a sample object of approximately 100 g under microgravity conditions. To this end, a 15-m drop-tower was used to produce microgravity conditions, and the response characteristics of the load cell were investigated in terms of the variations in the magnitude of the deceleration of the sample object, noting that the mass of a living animal should be determined in microgravity. An analysis of the ratio of the inertial forces clearly demonstrated that the average velocity of a load cell plate should be higher than 0.5 m/s to meet the design requirements.

Recently, due to the rapid rise of the international oil price, the burden of fuel oil expense is relatively increasing in a ship. And the international restriction of the greenhouse gas which was generated from the burning of fuel oil is also rapidly strengthened. Therefore, to reduce the greenhouse gas and fuel oil consumption, many shipping company adopted the low speed navigation and it was focused on the improvement of fuel consumption efficiency and the usage of alternative energy in the marine engine development field. In this paper, the fuel oil consumption according to the ship's speed was measured in the actual seas and analyzed the shop test results in the shipyard and the ship navigation data from the abstract log. And then it was proposed that the ship's economic speed was 14~15kts and the optimum rpm was 140~150 in specific sea conditions.

Microscopic freeway simulation models project the uncertain values of performance measures for subject traffic conditions by explaining drivers' driving behavior with lane changing and car-following models. However, the existing lane changing models are limited to gap acceptance oriented passive behavior of drivers and not able to capture more-or-less aggressive driving behavior(e.g. cut-in lane changing) ordinarily obseved in field. This paper suggests the definition of cut-inlane changing and presents its characteristics based on the findings from two different freeway on- and off-ramp sections. In addition, this paper proposes a new lane changing model capable of handling both passive and active drivers' driving behavior for better performance of simulations. The proposed lane changing model was tested with Hanyang Simulatin (HYTSIM), a microscopic freeway simulation program developed for this study. The HYTSIM simulation results reflecting the performance of the proposed lane changing model were compared against the field data. The test results showed that the distribution of gaps collected when vehicles change lanes were statistically identical to the field data at 95% confidence level.

동력을 발생하거나 이를 이용하는 대부분의 기계장치는 회전하는 축계 장치 를 갖고 있는데 이들은 중량을 갖는 회전체와 이것을 지지하거나 연결하는 강성축과 베어링으로 구성되므로 진동형태에 따른 고유진동수를 나타낸다. 그 결과 축계 장치 가 운전되는 동안 발생하는 기진력이 축계 강도를 초과하거나 진동수가 시스템의 공진점에 일치하던지 가까우면 이들 진동에 의해 축계 장치에 부착되어 있는 카프링, 감속기어, 지지베어링, 밀봉씰, 공정볼트 등이 이상마모 또는 피로파괴의 원인이 되므로 설계시나 운전중에 이에 대한 진동원인들을 PC를 이용하여 현장운전자들이 쉽게 규명할 수 있도록 개발하고 발생되는 진동문제를 효과적으로 해결할 수 있는 진동 저감장치를 몇 가지 소걔하였다. 국내에서 제작되는 선박, 자동차, 발전프랜트 또는 여기에 설치되는 엔진의 진동저감울 위해 이들 소프트웨어와 하드웨어들은 국내 관련기업의 현장기술 지도를 위해 여러차례 활용된 바 있으며 이를 이용하므로 써 축계진동 저감기술 자립은 물론 국산화 제품의 성능향상에도 크게 기여할 수 있다고 본다.

인버터의 응용 분야가 넓어짐에 따라 적용 부하에 대한 철저한 성능 검증이 더욱 강하게 요구되고 있다. 현재 인버터의 성능 검증은 설계기준에 명시된 토크량 측정과 가 감속 제어 알고리즘 동작 확인 등에 의존하고 있어 특정 부하에서 성능을 만족하지 못하는 문제가 발생하고 있다. 또한 이러한 문제점을 효과적으로 분석할 수 있는 장비와 시험기준이 부족한 상황이다. 이 논문에서는 하나의 시스템으로 여러 가지 응용부하를 연결하는 것과 같은 조건을 만들어주는 부하모의장치를 개발하여 인버터의 부하성능을 검증하는 방법을 제시하고, 실험을 통해 개발한 부하모의장치의 타당성을 검증한다.

Wall wetting phenomenon in the intake port of an MPI engine was investigated with different kinds of injectors by an A/F step response test and analysis was done based on the simple wall wetting model to find out a certain correlation between wall wetting and A/F variations. It was found that (1) At fully warmed condition of 90.deg.C water temperature, around 40-60% of injected fuel was wall wetted, (2) At cold condition of 45.deg.C Water temperature, around 68-80% of injected fuel was wall wetted, and (3) A/F variations during acceleration and deceleration were influenced by the wetting area, the fuel droplet size, and the amount of wall wetting fuel.
