Feedwater heaters of many nuclear power plants have recently experienced severe wall thinning damage, which will increase as operating time progresses. Several nuclear power plants in Korea have experienced wall thinning damage in the area around the impingement baffle - installed downstream of the high pressure turbine extraction steam line - inside number 5A and 5B feedwater heaters. At that point, the extracted steam from the high pressure turbine is two phase fluid at high temperature, high pressure, and high speed. Since it flows in reverse direction after impinging the impingement baffle, the shell wall of the number 5 high pressure feedwater heater may be affected by flow-accelerated corrosion. This paper describes the comparisons between the numerical analysis results using the FLUENT code and the down scale experimental data in an effort to determine root causes of the shell wall thinning of the high pressure feedwater heaters. The numerical analysis and experimental data were also confirmed by actual wall thickness measured by an ultrasonic test.

Feedwater heaters of many nuclear power plants have recently experienced severe wall thinning damage, which will increase as operating time progresses. Several nuclear power plants in Korea have experienced wall thinning damage in the area around the impingement baffle inside feedwater heater installed downstream of the turbine extraction stream line. At that point, the extract steam from the turbine is two phase fluid at high temperature, high pressure, and high speed. Since it flows to reverse direction after impinging the impingement baffle, the shell wall of feedwater heaters may be affected by flow-accelerated corrosion. In this paper, to compare degree of shell wall thinning mitigation rate to squared type with mitigation rate of other type baffle plate, four different types of impingement baffle plate-squared, curved, mitigating type and multi-hole type-applied inside the shell. With these comparison data, this paper describes operation of experiments and numerical analysis which is composed similar condition with real feed water heater. And flow visualization is operated for verification of experiments and numerical analysis. In conclusion, this study shows that mitigating type and multi-hole type baffle plate are more effective than other baffle plate about prevention of pressure concentration and pressure value decrease.

The induction heating is more efficient for a plate bending because of its easy operation and control of working parameters compared with the heating by torch. In this study, a more efficient method was proposed for the prediction of plate bending. The existing analysis method using the axi-symmetric coil model could not handle the varying temperature during the heating and the forming process for curved plates like a saddle or a concave type curvature. The proposed method using some discrete steps in this study could overcome these difficulties and show more accurate, reasonable results in temperatures and deflections of fiat or curved plates. This method is composed of multi-disciplinary analyses such as an electro-magnetic analysis, a heat transfer analysis and a deformation analysis based on inherent strain approach.

기존의 무량판 구조와 동일한 이방향 슬래브구조인 TVS(two-way void slab)공법은 구조적 하중지지 성능이 불필요한 슬래브 단면상의 중앙부 콘크리트를 제거하여 슬래브의 자중을 줄이고 무량판 구조의 단점을 보완하여 장점을 극대화시킨 구조형식이다. 그러나 이러한 장점을 보유한 공법을 현장적용하기 위해서는 내화성능평가를 통해 화재안전성을 확보하여야 하므로, 이에 대한 화재 실증실험을 수행하여 현장적용을 위한 최소 요구내화 시간에 따른 내화성능 확보방안의 도출이 제시되어야 한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 TVS공법의 실제 스팬길이로 슬래브 피복두께에 따른 화재거동 영향성 분석을 위하여 화재실험을 수행하였다. 하중조건은 고정하중과 적재하중을 고려하여 실험체에 등분포 조건으로 사전재하하였으며, 표준화재조건으로 재하가열 실험을 수행하였다. 슬래브의 화재가열 노출면으로부터의 깊이별 온도변화와 처짐변형 특성을 측정하였으며, KS F 2257-1 평가기준에 의거하여 슬래브의 내화성능을 평가하였다. 실험결과 피복두께 50 mm를 확보할 경우, EPS중공체로 제작한 실험체의 경우 약 2시간정도의 내화성능을 확보할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

In the present stud changes of some chemical and physical properties of a soybean oil, aerated at 120 ml/min through a porous gas distributor and oxidized at $45^{\circ}C{\sim}180^{\circ}C$, was investigated. The results of the study were as follows: The peroxide, thiobarbituric acid, and iodine value of the soybean oil which was aerated at 120 ml/min increased rapidly as oxidation temperature exceeded over $80^{\circ}C$. The acid value of the oil increased very rapidly as the oxidation temperature passed over $160^{\circ}C$. The content of the unsaturated fatty acid of the oil decreased considerably as the oxidation temperature exceeded over $80^{\circ}C$, whereas that of the saturated fatty acid did not change appreciably. This related well to the changes of the iodine value of the oil subjected to the same experimental conditions. The viscosity and refractive index of the oil increased rapidly as the oxidation temperature passed over $180^{\circ}C$. The following linear relationship hold for the viscosity and refractive index of the oil in the present study. $$V=Aexp({\frac{E}{RT}})$$ where V=viscosity(poise), A=constant, E=activation energy for viscous flow, R=gas constant, T=oxidation temperature$(^{\circ}K)$. The following relationship also hold for the viscosity and refractive index$({n^{20}}_D)$ of the oil at the present experimental conditions. $${n^{20}}_D=1.4614+7.333{\times}10^{-5}t+2.9612{\times}10^{-3}\;InV$$ where t=temperature$(^{\circ}C)$ at which the viscosity was measured.

In this study, numerical analysis was performed on three shapes of heat transfer plates (chevron, wave and dimple type), which are currently used as fillers of cooling towers. Results show that heat transfer rates per consumed power were larger for enhanced plates as compared with that of plain plate. Highest heat transfer coefficient was obtained for wave shape followed by chevron and dimple shape. For wave shape, cross corrugations induced significant mixing of fluids, which enhanced the heat transfer. Friction factor yielded a similar trend with the heat transfer coefficient. However, heat transfer rate and pressure drop per sheet was the largest for chevron shape, due to the largest heat transfer area per sheet.

Heat transfer between substrate and substrate-heater in low vacuum was investigated. The convection related with gas flow and pressure, the heat conduction considering surface roughness and contact pressure, and the heat loss by radiation depending on the surface emissivity were considered. The coefficient of heat conduction $h_c$ in the Fourier's law were determined experimentally from the temperature difference between the substrate and the substrate-heater in the range of substrate-heater temperature $100\;-\;500^{\circ}C$, in the pressures of 300 mTorr - 1 Torr. The temperature difference was then calculated in the reverse way for the purpose of verification, using the heat flow and the experimentally determined coefficients. The verified temperature differences were thus obtained within 0.33 % error.

철근콘크리트 구조물이 과소설계되어 있거나 과다 하중이 작용하게 되면 그 구조물의 구조성능을 파악하여 보수.보강을 시행하게 된다. 최근에 가장 맣이 사용되는 보수.보강 재료로는 특히 휨내력을 보강하는데 탄소섬유를 들 수 있다. 탄소섬유쉬트는 내열성과 내호염성에 있어서 회재가 발생할 경우 보강재료로서 충분한 성능을 가지고 있다. 그러나 이를 접착시키는데 사용되는 에폭시는 유기계 물질로서 화재시 유독가스가 발생하고 내열성능도 30$0^{\circ}C$정도에도 지탱하기 어려워 화재 발생이 가능한 구조물에 사용하기 어렵다. 이 연구에서는 무기계 폴리머 복합재료로 접착된 탄소섬유를 고온(약 800~100$0^{\circ}C$, 1시간)으로 가열한 후 가열된 섬유판의 인장, 휨 전단내력을 검토하여 내열성능을 파악하고 이 섬유쉬트로 보강한 철근콘크리트 부재의 휨 성능을 실험적으로 규명하여 화재의 위험이 있는 구조물에 구조적인 보강재료로 사용이 가능한가를 검토하였다. 연구 결과, 개발된 무기계 폴리머 복합체는 인장강도, 휨강도 및 접착강도가 유기계 접착제와 유사하게 나타났고 800~100$0^{\circ}C$ 정도로 1시간 가열한 이후에도 상온 시험체 휨내력과 전단내력의 63%, 33% 정도를 유지하여 화재의 위험이 있는 부위에도 사용이 가능한 것으로 판단되었다.
