The domestic innovative power reactor named iPOWER will employ the passive molten corium cooling system(PMCCS) to cool down and stabilize the core melt in the severe accident. The final design concept of the PMCCS is yet to be determined, but the in-vessel retention through external reactor vessel cooling has been also considered as a viable strategy to cope with the severe accident. In this study, the two-phase natural circulation flow established between the reactor vessel and the insulation was simulated using a thermal-hydraulic system code, MARS-KS. The flow path of cooling water was modeled with one-dimensional nodes, and the boundary condition of the heat load from the molten core was defined to estimate the naturally-driven flow rate. The evolution of major thermal-hydraulic parameters were also evaluated, including the temperature and the level of cooling water, the void fraction around the lower head of the reactor vessel, and the heat transfer mode on its external surface.

The graphite/$SiO_2$ composites as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries were prepared by sol-gel method to improve the graphite's electrochemical characteristics. The prepared graphite/$SiO_2$ composites were analysed by XRD, FE-SEM and EDX. The graphite surface modified by silicon dioxide showed several advantages to stabilize SEI layer. The electrochemical characteristics were investigated for lithium ion battery using graphite/$SiO_2$ as the working electrode and Li metal as the counter electrode. Electrochemical behaviors using organic electrolytes ($LiPF_6$, EC/DMC) were characterized by charge/discharge, cycle, cyclic voltammetry and impedance tests. The lithium ion battery using graphite/$SiO_2$ electrodes had better capacity than that of using graphite electrodes and was able to deliver a discharge capacity with 475 mAh/g at a rate of 0.1 C. Also, the capacity retention ratio of the modified graphite reaches 99% at a rate of 0.8 C.

In-situ capping is a method to stabilize contaminated sediments by isolation. Few researches on the in-situ capping have been performed, although the engineering approach is still required to prevent the release of contaminants. In this study, hydraulic model test were conducted by using a wave generator to observe the change of cap thickness which is important factor in design of capping. Sands with particle size between 0.075 to 2 mm as capping materials were used to observe the change of capping thickness by waves. The experimental results show that the surface of capping materials is similar to wave form. The more wave height increases, the more erosion of capping materials increases.

This research was examined the effect of intercritical heat treatment on the mechanical Properties and retained austenite formation in 0.1C-6.5Mn steels for the development of a high strength high ductility steel. using of transformation induced plasticity due to retained austenite. The stability of retained austenite is very important for the good ductility and it depend on diffusion of carbon and manganese during reverse transformation. It is effective to heat treat at$ 645^{\circ}C$ in order to obtain over 30 vol.% of retained austenite. However, it is more desirable to heat treat at $620^{\circ}C$, considering the volume fraction and mechanical stability of retained austenite. The strength-elongation combination in cold rolled steel sheets after reverse transformed at $620^{\circ}C$ for 1hr was about 4000k9/mm7, but it decreased rapidly with increasing holding time at high temperature due to the decrease of ductility. The addition of 1.1%Si in 0.14C-6.5Mn TRIP steel does not improve the mechanical properties and retained austenite formation.

This paper presents the test results of 12 direct tensile specimens to investigate the effect of cover thickness on the tension stiffening behavior in axially loaded reinforced concrete tensile members. Six concrete cover thickness ratios are selected as a main experimental parameter. The results showed that, as cover thickness became thinner, more extensive split cracking along the reinforcement occurred and transverse crack spacing became smaller, making the effective tensile stiffness of thin specimens at the stabilized cracking stage to be much smaller than that of thick specimens. This observation is not implemented in the current design provisions, in which the significant reduction of tension stiffening effect can be achieved by applying thinner cover thickness. Based on the present results, a modified tension stiffening factor is proposed to account for the effect of the cover thickness.

Systematic ab initio SCF calculations have been performed on the hydrogen-bonded dimers of fluoromethanes involving $CH_4,\;CH_3F,\;CH_2F_2\;and\;CHF_3$ with ammonia and water applying basis sets of 9s5p/5s and 9s5p1d/5p1d. Various ground state properties of these stable dimeric complexes have been evaluated. We compared these with corresponding properties of isolated monomers. We report equilibrium geometries, stabilization energies, dipole moments and force constants of intermolecular bonds. The effects arising as a consequence of the non-additive behavior of hydrogen bonding in chain-like oligomers are discussed. Systematic, methodical errors due to the use of the SCF approximation and the basis set dependence of the computed results are pointed out.

The ceramic diffusion coupling with the green body of calcium-doped lanthanum chromite(La$_{0.8}$Ca$_{0.2}$CrO$_3$CLC- G) and sintered calcium-doped lanthanum chromite(La$_{0.8}$Ca$_{0.2}$CrO$_3$ CLC) by Pechini's method on yttria stabilized zirconia(YSZ) plate has been investigated. The X-ray diffraction pattern of CLC sides at the reacted CLC-G/ CLC and CLC/YSZ interface were identified as La$_{1-x}$ Ca$_{x}$CrO$_3$ and the unreacted YSZ side was cubic-ZrO$_2$ at the treated condition, 1300~1500 C for 10 hr in air, respectively. The order of migration components between CLC/YSZ interface was Zr>La>>Cr>>>Ca and these changes were not dependent upon the treated conditions. The grain shape and size at the interface of CLC-G/CLC was appeared to have a uniform distribution with increasing temperature. The bonding reaction of YSZ/CLC was occurred without a large amount change of the compositions in SEM photos.os.otos.os.

최근 우리나라 수자원 오염의 심각성에 관한 인식이 커지고 있으며, 수질 및 조류 관리의 필요성이 다양한 분야에서 증가하고 있다. 우리나라의 경우 초여름부터 장마 이전과 장마 이후부터 10월까지 호소의 영양 단계가 조류의 성장에 충분한 상태이기 때문에 남조류가 대량으로 증식된다. 하지만 기상 조건에 따라 조류의 발생 시기와 발생 정도는 매년 다르게 나타날 수 있다. 한편, 조류를 포함한 수질 모의 모형은 현재의 상태에 대한 정확한 모사를 통해 수질 관리와 미래의 예측 등 다양한 방면으로 활용된다. 따라서 복잡한 현상을 모형을 통해 재현하는 것은 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 대청호 지역을 대상으로 CE-QUAL-W2 모형을 이용하여 2016년 1월부터 2018년 7월까지 수질 및 조류의 거동을 모의하였다. 금강의 지류 하천인 소옥천에 위치한 옥천천 측정소부터 대청호 내부의 대청댐5 구간을 상류 및 하류 경계로 설정하였고, 수질 및 조류의 모의를 위해 물환경 정보시스템과 실시간 수질 정보시스템의 관측자료 및 대청댐의 운영 자료, 기상청의 기상관측 자료를 수집하였다. 모형의 안정화(warm up) 기간을 고려하여 2015년 1월부터 2018년 7월까지 주요 수질 항목인 수온, 용존산소, 총 인, 총 질소, 클로로필-a에 대한 분석을 수행하였고, 연구대상 지역 내의 대청댐6 지점의 관측값과 모의 결과를 비교 분석하였다. 수온과 용존산소, 클로로필-a의 경우 모의 결과가 관측 값을 비교적 잘 모사하였지만, 총 인과 총 질소의 경우 자동 수질 측정지점의 값과 일반수질 측정 지점의 측정 방법의 차이로 인해 오차가 다소 발생하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구는 CE-QUAL-W2 모형을 이용한 수질 및 조류 모의에 관한 연구로서, CE-QUAL-W2 모형을 이용한 수질 및 조류 관리에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

This review shows the design and the development of new $CO_2$-soluble hydrocarbon copolymers which can be used as effective stabilizers for successful dispersion polymerizations of bio-compatible materials in supercritical carbon dioxide ($scCO_2$). The basic concepts of supercritical fluid including its solvent properties and applications in polymer synthesis are described. We report the facile synthesis of highly soluble hydrocarbon based copolymers, prepared with good control via controlled free radical polymerization from readily accessible and commercially available monomers. The phase behaviour of these materials was monitored in pure $CO_2$ to investigate how the molecular weights and the composition of the copolymers affect their solubility in $CO_2$. Their activity as a stabilizer was then tested in dispersion polymerization of N-vinyl pyrrolidone in $CO_2$ at various reaction conditions to identify the key parameters required for a successful dispersion stabilization of growing PVP particles. Some prospective potentials of this research which can be applied in developing new polymer materials in an environmentally-friendly fashion for use in cosmetics are also discussed.
