High-speed trains have been developed widely in many countries in order to transport large quantity of people and commodities rapidly. When a high speed train enters a tunnel, aerodynamic resistance is generated suddenly. The resistance caused from air pressure induces micro pressure wave and discomfort to passengers in a train. Therefore, a pressure relief system should be installed in a tunnel to reduce the resistance acting against the running train in a tunnel. Additionally, the shape of a grain should be streamlined in order to reduce aerodynamic resistance caused by a high-speed train. The cross-section of a tunnel also should be carefully designed to reduce discomfort of passengers. This study represents the effect of pressure relief ducts installed between two running tunnels. The pressure relief duct was integrated with a cross-passage in order to save cost and construction time. One-dimensional network numerical simulations were carried out in order to estimate the effect of pressure relief systems.

When the ambient air pressure was $0.1kg/cm^2$, there were few spherically formed droplets, which showed very badly fragmented state. The average particle size of the particles constituting the droplet was about 40 nm. When the air pressure increased to $0.5kg/cm^2$, the ratio of the spherical droplet forms increased, but still showed a state of severe disruption. The average particle size of the particles was reduced to about 35 nm. As the air pressure increased to $3kg/cm^2$, the ratio of spherical droplet form significantly increased, the degree of fragmentation even further decreased and the average particle size decreased to 30 nm. When the air pressure increased from 0.1 to $1kg/cm^2$, the XRD peak intensity showed little change, but the specific surface area was decreased. As the air pressure increased to $3kg/cm^2$, the intensity of XRD peaks showed a little decrease, while the specific surface area increased.

Solids flow characteristics have been determined in a pressurized solids recycle systems of silica sand particles for the application in a pressurized CFB(PCFB). The solids recycle system is composed of a downcomer(0.10 m i.d. 2.25 m high) and a loop-seal(0.10 m i.d.). The silica sand($d_p=240{\mu}m$, ${\rho}_s=2582kg/m^3$) particles were transported at room temperature and system pressure($P_{sys}$) up to 0.71 MPa using air. Solids mass flux($G_s$) increases with increasing system pressure at constant aeration rate. Pressure gradient, solids velocity and actual gas velocity increase with increasing $P_{sys}$ at constant aeration rate. The Pressure drop number($\Phi$) on pressure gradient in downcomer has been correlated with Transportation number(Tr). Pressure drop across the loop-seal increases with increasing of $G_s$ irrespective of variation of $P_{sys}$. The obtained $G_s$ and Transportation number(Tr) have been correlated with the experimental variables.

Generally the lower part of the Earth's atmosphere, which is 20km above the ground, is called "air." The composition of this area is almost consistent consisting of nitrogen, oxygen, and other gases. Air density refers to the mass per unit volume of earth atmosphere. Though air is made of the mixed gases in a constant composition, the water vapor is one of the very changeable components. The density of moist air is lower than the dry one at the same temperature and pressure. As the density varies according to the pressure and temperature, this paper attempts to explore the main factors in the air quantity calculation by examining first the density calculation process according to the air property, and second the relation between the actual and standard air flow.

본 연구에서는 분무열분해 공정에 의해 폐산용액으로부터 평균입도 100nm 이하의 나노 분말을 제조하였다. 용액 내의 Fe 성분의 농도가 20 g/$\iota$로부터 200 g/$\iota$로 증가됨에 따라 생성된 분말의 입도는 30 nm로부터 60 nm 까지 점점 증가하는 반면 입도분포는 더욱 불규칙하게 나타나고 있었다. 또한 용액 내의 농도 증가에 따라 $NiFe_2O_4$ 상의 생성비율이 현저히 증가하고 있었으며, 입자들의 비표면적은 현저히 감소하였다. 공기압력이 $1 kg/cm^2$까지는 분말의 평균입도는 80$\~$100 nm로 공기압력의 증가에 따라 분말들의 평균입도는 현저한 변화를 나타내지 않았으며, 생성된 상들의 비율의 현저한 변화도 나타나지 않았다. 공기압력이 $3kg/cm^2$로 증가하는 경우에는 평균입도가 약 70 nm로 감소하였으며 $NiFe_2O_4$의 생성비율도 감소하였다.

영광 3호기의 정지냉각펌프 성능감시 설비로는 펌프 유량계, 입구압, 출구압, 모터전류 등이 있으며 현장에서 펌프의 소음 감시나 진동 측정 등을 통하여 펌프 건전성을 확인할 수 있다. 부분충수운전중 여러 연구결과 제시된 펌프의 이상징후 증상은 펌프의 소음 증가, 유량계 또는 모터전류의 불규칙 요동이 있으나 정량적인 값을 제시하지 못하고 있으며 공기유입량에 대한 운전제한 근거만 정량적으로 제시되고 있다. 즉, WCAP-l1916에 따른 펌프의 손상 판단 근거는 연속적인 공기 흡입의 경우 2%이내, 간헐적인 공기흡입의 경우 5%를 제시하고 있다. 영광 3 호기의 부분충수운전시 펌프 입구압력을 제외한 다른 펌프 성능감시 변수들은 허용오차 이내로 별다른 펌프 이상 징후를 발견하지 못하였다. 그러나 펌프 입구압력 기록계의 입구압력 및 진동폭 변화는 정지냉각유량률, RCS 수위, 증기발생기 노즐댐 설치 유무에 따라 민감한 변화를 보여주었으며, 펌프의 건전성 감시에 가장 효과적인 변수임을 보여주었다.

본 연구에서는 최근 차량용 대체연료로서 주목받고 있는 천연가스의 연소특성을 규명하기 위해 밀폐된 정적연소실을 이용, 당량비, 초기압력 및 점화위치 변화에 따른 연소실험을 행하였으며, 그 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 메탄-공기 예혼합기의 화염전파과정은 이론혼합기 부근에서 구면형으로 진행되는데 반해, 과농 또는 과박 혼합기 그리고 점화위치가 연소실 벽면에 가까울수록 타원형으로 진행되며, 초기압력이 증가함에 따라 화염전파는 느려진다. 화염전파속도와 연소 속도는 초기압력이 낮고 점화위치가 연소실 중심에 가까울수록 빠르며, 당량비 1.0∼1.1 사이에서 최대치를 보인다.

It is observed the characteristic of the microwave air plasma in the wide range of the operating pressure, 1 mTorr ~ 760 Torr. The microwave air plasma was generated by an AC-type microwave source manufactured with a magnetron taken from a commertial microwave oven and the input power was fixed at 370 W. Characteristics of the plasmas were observed by an injection Langmuir probe and an OES(Optical Emission Spectroscopy). The breakdown electric field is drastically changed at 500 mTorr. For < 500 mTorr, the ratio of the breakdown electric field and the pressure decreased inversely to the pressure, $5.7\times10^4$V/m-Torr.However, the ratio increased linearly as 43 V/m-Torr for the operating pressure, > 500 mTorr. The minimum breakdown electric field was observed about 12. kV/m at 500 mTorr. It corresponds that the input frequency equals to the collision frequency. The effective collision cross section of the air at this pressure was calculated as $9.23\times10^{-l6}\textrm{cm}^2$.The results of the OES measurement revealed that the main ions were composed of the oxygen, argon, and nitrogen for > 500 mTorr. In contrast, only oxygen and argon ions were dominated for < 500 mTorr. ion temperature of oxygen (O(II)) in the air was decreased from about 1.2 eV to 0.5 eV as the pressure increased. Langmuir probe data shows that the plasma density for < 500 mTorr was higher that for > 500 mTorr.

Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) is a combination of energy storage and generation by storing compressed air using off-peak power for generation at times of peak demand. In general, both charging and discharging of high-pressure vessel are unsteady processes, where the pressure is varying. These varying conditions result in low efficiencies of compression and expansion. In this paper, a new constant-pressure CAES system to overcome the current problem is proposed. An energy analysis of the system based on the concept of exergy was performed to evaluate the energy density and efficiency of the system in comparison with the conventional CAES system. The new constant-pressure CAES system combined with pumped hydro storage requires the smaller cavern with only half of the storage volume for variable-pressure CAES and has a higher efficiency of system.

유입된 공기가 배출될 때 중앙코어형 건축물이나 지하층처럼 밀폐된 공간의 경우 옥내에 부압이 형성되며 제연구역과 과도한 압력차이로 출입문 개방에 필요한 힘을 초과하는 등 많은 문제들을 야기할 수 있다. 유입공기 배출댐퍼가 적용된 ◯◯오피스텔을 사례로 실제 TAB(Testing, Aejuwting, Balancing)를 수행하여 유입공기 배출에 따른 영향과 제연성능의 개선방안을 알아보고자 하였다. 유입공기 배출댐퍼를 순차적으로 개방해 가며 차압 및 방연풍속 등의 변화를 기록한 결과 밀폐된 복도에서 유입 공기 배출댐퍼가 개방되면 복도에 부압이 형성되고 제연구역에 과도한 압력이 발생하여 출입문 개방에 필요한 힘을 초과하였다. 유입공기 배출댐퍼 개방 층수를 증가시켜 TAB를 수행한 결과 3개층 까지 개방하여도 방연풍속이 확보되었다.
