A study was conducted on the coolant mixing between water flowing in two adjacent subchannels. Measurements were made of the quantity of mass transferred between a larger rectangular channel and a smaller triangular channel in a 19-rod fuel bundle under the conditions of single phase flow and air-water two-phase flow. The results of the experiments showed that the low mixing rate appears in single phase flow, and high mixing rate was measured in air-water two-phase flow Mixing rate decreases with the increasing of air void fraction during the air-water flow. It seems that the high mixing rate in the air-water flow was caused due to adequate agitation of the chaotic air void.

Oscillating Water Column (OWC) Wave Energy Converters (WEC) harness electricity through a Power-Take-Off (PTO) system from the induced-airflow by seawater oscillating inside a chamber. In general, an air chamber with a relatively small cross-sectional area is required compared to seawater chamber to obtain high-velocity air in the PTO system, and in order to simulate an accurate air flow rate in the air chamber, a three-dimensional study is required. In this study, the dynamic response of OWC-WEC that is equipped with the channel of seawater exchange for the case of irregular waves has been numerically studied. The open source CFD software, OLAFLOW for the simulation of wave dynamics to the openFOAM and FOAM-extend communities, was used to simulate the interaction between the device and irregular waves. Based on the numerical simulation results, we discussed the fluctuation characteristics of three dimensional air flow in the air-chamber, wave deformation around the structure and the seawater flow inside the channel of seawater exchange. The numerical results the maximum air flow velocity in the air-chamber increases as the Ursell value of the significant wave increases, and the velocity of airflow flowing out from the inside of air chamber to the outside is greater than the speed of flowing into the air chamber from the outside.

A simple method for determining the airborne concentration of radon daughter products has been developed, which is based on gross alpha counting of the air filter collections at several time intervals after completion of air sampling. The concentration of each nuclide is then obtained from an equation involving the alpha disintegrations, the sampling time, and the known numerical coefficients. The state of radioactive disequilibrium is also investigated. The atmosphere sampled in the TRIGA Mark-III reactor room was largely in disequilibrium. The extent of radioactive disequilibrium between radon daughter products seems likely depend on sampling times associated with turbulence conditions. The data obtained here will certainly provide useful information on the evaluation of internal exposure and calibration of effluent monitoring instruments.

본 논문에서는 수소/액체연료/공기의 연소특성에 대해 CFD상용프로그램을 사용하여 수치해석을 수행하였다. 먼저 프로그램을 검증하기 위하여 수소/공기의 난류 비예혼합 화염에 대한 반응물과 생성물의 몰분율을 Barlow실험 결과와 비교하였고, X축 방향의 온도분포를 Flury의 실험 값과 비교하여 값이 물리적으로 근사함을 확인하였다. 혼합분율(Mixture Fraction)과 확률밀도함수(PDF)의 접근 방법을 이용하여 화염진단과 오염물질발생에 중요한 역할을 하는 중간 종들의 몰분율을 확인하였다. 수소/액체연료/공기에 대해서는 화염형성에 있어서 가장 중요한 연료와 산화제의 속도비 변화(100,10,1,0.1)로부터 산화제속도가 연료속도 보다 클 경우 고속 측인 산화제에 의해 연료의 확산이 지배되는 현상으로 인하여 화염의 온도분포가 최고가 됨을 확인하였다. 또한, 연소과정 중 발생하는 오염물질의 농도를 수치적으로 해석하여 최저의 오염농도를 가질 수 있는 속도 비를 찾아 낼 수 있었다. 수소/공기와 수소/액체연료/공기의 온도 장 비교를 통하여 수소/액체연료/공기의 혼합물이 대체에너지로서의 가능성을 확인하였다.

The discharged products of Li-$O_2$ and Na-$O_2$ batteries using ether-based electrolyte as next-generation battery system were analyzed. The morphology of the discharged products showed millet-like shape in the both battery systems by FESEM. However, the discharged product, $Li_2O_2$ showed amorphous-like form in the Li-$O_2$ cell while crystalline $NaO_2$ is formed in the Na-$O_2$ cell when confirmed by X-ray diffraction. In this work, we comprehended a principle operating mechanism of Li-$O_2$ and Na-$O_2$ battery.

It is well known that an Oscillating Water Column Wave Energy Converter (OWC-WEC) is one of the most efficient wave absorber equipment. This device transforms the vertical motion of water column in the air chamber into the air flow velocity and produces electricity from the driving force of turbine as represented by the Wells turbine. Therefore, in order to obtain high electric energy, it is necessary to amplify the water surface vibration by inducing resonance of the piston mode in the water surface fluctuation in the air chamber. In this study, a new type of OWC-WEC with a seawater channel is used, and the wave deformation by the structure, water surface fluctuation in the air chamber, air outflow velocity from the nozzle and seawater flow velocity in the seawater channel are evaluated by numerical analysis in detail. The numerical analysis model uses open CFD code OLAFLOW model based on multi-phase analysis technique of Navier-Stokes solver. To validate model, numerical results and existing experimental results are compared and discussed. It is revealed within the scope of this study that the air flow velocity at nozzle increases as the Ursell number becomes larger, and the air velocity that flows out from the inside of the air chamber is larger than the velocity of incoming air into the air chamber.

물 속에 만들어진 공기방울들은 각자 자신의 반지름에 반비례하는 공진주파수로 음파를 방출하며, 많은 공기방울들이 모인 공기방울 집단은 집단의 전체 크기에 반비례하는 집단 공진주파수를 가진다는 현상이 그동안 연구되어 왔다. 그러나, 수십, 수백 개의 유한한 개수를 가진 공기방울들의 음파방출 주파수 특성 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 수중에 일차원 배열의 공기방울들을 발생시켜 공기방울들에서 나오는 음파방출 주파수를 측정하였다. 수중에 형성된 공기방울들은 그들 간에 거리 간격이 존재하므로 본 연구에서는 공기방울들 간의 상호작용이 변화한다고 간주한 유효 결합 조화진동자 모형을 새로이 만들어 해석하였으며, 실험값과 좋은 이치를 보여주었다.
