The prediction of clad surface temperatures is important to the design and the safety anlaysis of nuclear reactor. The accurate prediction requires the detailed knowledge of the flow structure and heat transfer, which is complicate due to anisotropic turbulent phenomena. A two-equation model including anisotropic eddy viscosity model is applied to forecast the velocity distribution. And the temperature field is calculated with uniform wall heat flux. The Galerkin's weighted residual finite element method has been used to calculate the turbulent quantities right up to the wall. The numerical results show good agreement with available data and that turbulence anisotropy strongly affects on the mean flow and thus the temperature field. And Nu-P/D correlation is established for sodium coolant in close-packed equilateral triangular bundle in the P/D range of 1.05 to 1.30.

The realization of partially coherent Gaussian Schell-model beams with isotropic cross section and anisotropic degree of coherence function is investigated theoretically. An optical system is devised to transform diffused light generated by passing the Gaussian beam of the He-Ne laser thorough a rotating holographic diffuser to the partially coherent Gaussian Schell-model beam with isotropic cross section and anisotropic degree of coherence function. Analytic design equations are formulated and design examples are presented.

In this paper, we propose a beamformer adequate for the nested away that is generally used for multiple frequency band signal processing. The nonisotropic beam pattern of channel in this array causes two problems: the bearing-estimate error of mainlobe and the difference between design and output in sidelobe level. By separating the time delay among channel signals and the time delay among sensor signals in channel, we can remove the effects of the nonisotropic beam pattern of channel in the beamformer output. Through this process, a method to correct simultaneously these problems is proposed.

To investigate pool boiling heat transfer in a vertical annulus with closed bottoms, the length of an outer tube was varied between 0.3 and 0.6 m. For the test, a heated tube of 0.2-m length and 19.1-mm diameter and water at atmospheric pressure were used. To elucidate the effects of the outer tube length on heat transfer, the results for the annulus were compared with data for a single unrestricted tube. The increase in the outer tube length resulted in an increase or decrease in heat transfer depending on the gap size. This tendency is mainly attributed to the difference in the intensity of liquid agitation.

To verify model adaptation and flexibility, non-isothermal simulation for perlite expansion has been carried out. Temperature-dependent perlite properties are applied to energy equations for bubble temperature change and perlite melt temperature gradient. Bubble temperature is changed with volume change, water evaporation, and heat flux from melt. Temperature gradient of perlite melt is affected by decreasing bubble temperature. As a result, prediction model and code have been developed below 1100 K with 5% accuracy. At 1100~1400 K, lower 7% accuracy has been obtained from the calculation results.

A state-of-the-art mechanistic model has been developed to accurately predict the void fraction in the subcooled boiling region having axial nonuniform heat flux. In this study, the void-dependent drift-flux parameters of the Lahey/Ohkawa model were introduced and the mass flux-dependent condensation coefficient were determined by fitting with the experimental data. This model was tested against several experimental data sets to verify its accuracy. Finally the comparison between the predicted void fraction profiles with this model and the profile-fit model for the hot assembly of Kori-Unit 1, Cycle 1 has been performed. It is conclusive that the results show the good agreement between the measured and predicted void fractions, and the profile-fit model has been found to underestimate the void fraction in the subcooled boiling region.

In order to investigate the effects of an electric field on EHD(Electro-hydrodynamic) nucleate boiling hat transfer characteristics in a nonuniform electric field under saturated pool boiling, the basic study has been performed experimentally. In the present study, the working fluid is R-113 and the plate-wire electrode system is used to generate a steep electric field gradient. Boiling parameters are investigated by using a high speed camera. The electric field distribution around a wire is obtained to understand the effect of an electric field on bubble departure/movement. The experimental results show EHD effects are much more considerable when the applied voltage increases. Bubbles depart away from the heated wire in radial direction. It is confirmed that the mechanisms of EHD nucleate boiling are closely connected with the dynamic behavior of bubbles. The boiling parameters are significantly changed by the electric field strength. With increasing applied voltages, the bubble size decreases and the nucleation site density, bubble velocity and bubble frequency increase.

Characteristics of flow boiling heat transfer in microchannels were investigated experimentally. The microchannels consisted of 9 parallel trapezoidal channels with each channel having 205 ${\mu}m$ of bottom width, 800 ${\mu}m$ of depth, $3.6^{\circ}$ of sidewall angle, and 7 cm of length. Tests were performed with R113 over a mass velocity range of 150~920 $kg/m^2s$, heat flux of 10~100 $kW/m^2$ and inlet pressures of 105~195 kPa. Flow boiling heat transfer coefficient in microchannels was found to be dominated by heat-flux. However the effect of mass velocity was not significant. Contrary to macrochannel trends, the heat transfer coefficient was shown to decrease with increasing thermodynamic equilibrium quality. A new correlation suitable for predicting flow boiling heat transfer coefficient was developed based on the laminar single-phase heat transfer coefficient and the nucleate boiling dominant equation. Comparison with the experimental data showed good agreement.

In this paper, we propose an efficient emotional relaxation framework using Dijkstra algorithm based on anisotropic features. Emotional relaxation is as important as emotional analysis. This is a framework that can automatically alleviate the person's depression or loneliness. This is very important for HCI (Human-Computer Interaction). In this paper, 1) Emotion value changing from facial expression is calculated using Microsoft's Emotion API, 2) Using these differences in emotion values, we recognize abnormal feelings such as depression or loneliness. 3) Finally, emotional mesh based matching process considering the emotional histogram and anisotropic characteristics is proposed, which suggests emotional relaxation to the user. In this paper, we propose a system which can recognize the change of emotion easily by using face image and train personal emotion by emotion relaxation.

Radiochromic film has several advantages; high spatial resolution, relatively low spectral sensitivity, near tissue equivalence and requires no special development procedure. The object of this study was to measure the anisotropy of an Ir-192 source (microSelectron manufactured by Nucletron) in a few mm regions from the source, using the GafChromic film. The GafChromic film was calibrated in the range of 0∼105 Gy, using a 4 MV photon beam, and the anisotropy function measured in an acrylic phantom using the GafChroimic film. The data obtained gave agreement to within 4.4% of the Monte Calro calculation, by J. F. Williamson, at a radial distance of 2.5 mm with polar angles of 50 to 130$^{\circ}$, while a maximum deviation of 17.6% was observed at angles near 140$^{\circ}$and agreement within 3.7% at a radial distance of 5 mm at polar angles between 35 to 150$^{\circ}$ and a maximum deviation of 7.6% was observed at angles near 30$^{\circ}$. A GafChromic film can be used as a more efficient detector for measuring the anisotropy of an HDR $^{192}$ Ir source at close distances than any other detector.
