In the manufacturing process of steel plates, materials at high temperatures above $800^{\circ}C$ are rapidly cooled by using a circular impinging water jet to determine their strength and toughness. In this study, the basic heat and fluid flow is solved by using the existing numerical model for boiling heat transfer. Actually, steel undergoes a phase change from austenite to ferrite or bainite during the cooling process. The phase change induces changes in its thermal properties. Instead of directly solving the phase change and the material cooling together, we solve the heat transfer only by applying the thermal properties that vary with temperature, which is already known from other studies. The effects of the changes in the thermal properties on the cooling of steel and the necessity of calculating the phase change are discussed.

Hot-firing tests were performed on two 30 tonf-class regenerative cooling combustion chambers, with different injector distribution and wall cooling method. In the paper, the combustion stability test results were analyzed and presented. The pressure fluctuation and stability rating test(SRT) results of the combustion chambers were examined to evaluate combustion stability. The combustion chambers exhibited satisfactory results on combustion stability. The RMS values of the chamber pressure fluctuation were less than 3% of the chamber pressure and the decay time of artificial pressure peaks was measured to be around 10% of the reference decay time. It is interesting that the RMS values of pressure fluctuation in the combustion chamber with film cooling are smaller than those in the chamber with cooling injectors at the periphery row.

Firing tests have been performed for a 30 tonf-class full-scale regeneratively cooled combustion chamber. It was the first model which has welded construction of the injection head and the combustion chamber. A number of firing tests have been performed to evaluate combustion efficiency, regenerative cooling performance and durability of the combustor. This paper describes the results of firing tests performed at the design and off-design conditions which correspond to the chamber pressure of 60 bar, 68 bar respectively and the O/F ratio of 2.5 and 2.8 respectively. The data at each test condition have provided successful results in terms of combustion performance, combustion stability and durability. The tests are considered to be quite meaningful in the sense that the technologies for kerosene regeneratively cooled combustion chamber are successfully proven.

The inlet coolant temperature reduction technique has been used to extend the load follow operation further in the end-of-cycle-life(EOL). In order to simulate the technique and calculate the nuclear characteristics of a PWR core according to the load follow operation, the three dimensional computing system has been established. The analysis was performed in both MINB and SPINR modes of typical 12-3-6-3 locad follow operation for the EOL of KNU-1 plant. Moreover, the capability of return-to-power has been also tested for those two modes with the system analysis by the RETRAN-02 code. The results show that it has no difficulty to extend the load follow operation further in the EOL by applying the inlet coolant temprature reduction, and also the spinning reserve capacity(SRC) increases by 13% in MINB mode and 14% in SPINR mode Bore that used by control rods only, for 14$^{\circ}$ F drop in the inlet temperature.

Cobalt-chromium alloys are used to fabricate various dental prostheses, and have advantages of low cost and excellent mechanical properties compared to other alloys. Recently, selective laser melting, which is an additive manufacturing method, has been used to overcome the disadvantages of the conventional fabrication method. A local rapid heating and cooling process of selective laser melting induces fine microstructures, grain refinement, and reduction of porosities of the alloys. Therefore, it can improve mechanical properties compared to the alloys fabricated by the conventional method. On the other hand, layering process and rapid heating and cooling cause accumulation of a large amount of residual stresses that can adversely affect the mechanical properties. A heat treatment for removing residual stresses through recovery and recrystallization process caused complicated changes in mechanical properties induced by phase transformation, precipitate and homogenization of the microstructures. The purpose of this review was to compare the manufacturing methods of Co-Cr alloys and to investigate the characteristics of Co-Cr alloys fabricated by selective laser melting.

The USNRC issued a revised ECCS rule that allows the use of best estimate computer codes for safety analysis. The rule also requires an estimation of uncertainty in calculated system response when applying the best estimate computer codes. A practical realistic evaluation methodology to evaluate the ECCS performance that satisfies the requirements of the ECCS rule has been developed and this paper describes the application of new realistic evaluation methodology to large break LOCA for, the demonstration of the new methodology. The computer code RELAP5/MOD3/KAERI, which was improved from RELAP5/MOD3.1, was used as the best estimate code in the application. The uncertainty of the code was evaluated by assessing several separate and integral effect tests, and for the application to actual plant Kori 3 & 4 was selected as the reference plant. Response surfaces for blowdown and reflood PCTs were generated from the results of the sensitivity analyses and probability distribution functions were established by random sampling or Monte-Carlo method for each response surface. Final uncertainties were quantified at 95% probability level and safety margins for large break LOCA were discussed.

The thermal analysis is accomplished with the route for the underground power transmission system which adopts the water pipe cooling with trough in tunnel. As a result, in case of a cooling system based on a refrigerator, the optimum condition for the flow rate of cooling water and the air velocity are calculated as the $2{\sim}3{\ell}/s/pipe$ and $1{\sim}2m/s/fan$, respectively. On the other hand, in case of cooling tower the optimum condition for them are calculated as the $2{\sim}3{\ell}/s/pipe$ and 6 m/s/fan, respectively. But the cooling system based on a cooling tower has the problem of enlarging the size of cooling fan and suppressing the labor of operator in tunnel. Therefore, to meet all the cooling conditions for a given cooling section, the cooling system based on a refrigerator is more acceptable.

This paper proposes photovoltaic thermal hybrid module to get the electrical and thermal performance of building integrated photovoltaic(BIPV) system. BIPV system is decreased the system efficiency because output of PV is decreased by the thermal rising on generating. In order to improve the efficiency of BIPV module, water cooling system is applied and generated thermal is used the warm water system. Water cooling system uses the flux control algorithm considering water temperature and power loss. Electrical and thermal performance of proposed photovoltaic thermal hybrid module is confirmed through the actual experiment and herby proved the valid of this paper.

소수력 계획 시 개발지점에 대하여 수많은 자료와 정보 등을 필요로 하게 되는데 특히 해당지역내의 유량분포에 대한 유황자료는 개발의 판단여부를 결정케 하는 중요한 요소이다. 소수력발전소의 설비용량에 직접 관계되는 설계유량의 결정과 재해방지를 위한 유출의 예측을 가능케 하고 발전소운영 시 가동률 및 경제성에도 직접적인 영향을 미치는 중용한 요소이나 여기서 논하는 소수력개발은 하천이나 댐과 같은 유형이 아니라 일정한 유량을 확보하여 배출하기 때문에 문제는 없다. 그러나 계절별 부하에 따른 냉각수량의 변화 및 소수력 발전유량의 변동, 조위(해수면) 변화 등에 따라 달라진다. 그러므로 수위조절을 위한 수문은 이들의 변화에 따라 자동운전이 가능해야 하지만 운전시 발전정격수위를 맞출 수 있도록 수문을 조절한 다음 Turbine Governor에 의해 유량 및 수위를 제어할 수 있도록 설계하여 냉각수 순환수 계통에 영향이 미치지 않게 언제나 적정수위를 유지시킬 수 있는 운전모드로 구축하는 것이 안정이라 볼 수 있다. 소수력발전설비 및 수문의 오작동 및 고장이 발생할 때 수위가 상승하여 냉각계통에 손실수두 증가, 취수펌프의 양정고 증가와 Surge 발생 등으로 발전소의 정상 운전에 미치는 영향이 없어야 하므로 세밀한 검토가 필요하기 때문에 폐쇄시간과 수압상승 값 등 요인 분석후 설계하여야 한다. Figure A와 같이 국내 화력발전단지에서 냉각수로 사용되고 방류되는 해수는 발전소에 따라 ca.70~150 CMS로 ca.2,000~5000 kW 이상의 수력에너지(H=4m 형성 기준)를 보유하고 있으나, 현재 활용되지 못하고 그대로 해양으로 방류되고 있어 이 수력에너지의 개발 방안을 오래전부터 검토하여 왔다. 발전소 온배수의 원활한 배수를 위한 설계 낙차와 함께 남서해안의 조위변화에 따른 낙차를 이용하는 것으로 소수력 발전 방식과 조력발전 방식의 특징을 동시에 활용할 수 있다.
