This study investigated the aging reactions of three kinds of igniters(BKNO3, THPP, ZPP). The life-time of igniter depends on oxygen and moisture in the air. For example, Magnesium contained in the $BKNO_3$ reacts with oxygen and water to form oxide and hydrate. This reaction has an adverse effect on ignition reaction and could be information to analyze aging. Thermodynamic calculation could interpret the aging reaction by calculating flame temperature applying several variables(initial temperature, composition, etc.). If combustion is not completed because of aging igniters, flame temperature will be formed at a low range. The result of this research is expected to support the analysis of igniters aging reactions.

The thermal and mechanical properties of fiber-reinforced cement-based composite for solar thermal energy storage were investigated in this paper. The effect of the addition of different cement-based materials to Ordinary Portland cement on the thermal and mechanical characteristics of fiber-reinforced composite was investigated. Experiments were performed to measure mechanical properties including compressive strength before and after thermal cycling and split tensile strength, and to measure thermal properties including thermal conductivity and specific heat. Test results showed that the residual compressive strength of mixtures with OPC and slag was greatest among cement-based composite. Thermal conductivity of mixtures including graphite was greater than that of any other mixtures, indicating favor of graphite for improving thermal transfer in terms of charging and discharging in thermal energy storage system. The addition of CSA or zirconium increased specific heat of fiber-reinforced cement-based composite. Test results of this study could be actually used for the design of thermal energy storage system in concentrating solar power plants.

The numerical simulations of Heater Experiment-D (HE-D) at the Mont Terri rock laboratory in Switzerland were performed to investigate an applicability of FLAC3D to reproduce the coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) behaviour in Opalinus Clay, as part of the DECOVLEX-2015 project Task B. To investigate the reliability of numerical simulations of the coupled behaviour using FLAC3D code, the simulation results were compared with the observations from the in-situ experiment, such as temperature at 16 sensors, pore pressure at 6 sensors, and strain at 22 measurement points. An anisotropic heat conduction model, fluid flow model, and transversely isotropic elastic model in FLAC3D successfully represented the coupled thermo-hydraulic behaviour in terms of evolution for temperature and pore pressure, however, performance of the models for mechanical behavior is not satisfactory compared with the measured strain.

The present study developed a sequential approach-based numerical simulator for modeling coupled thermal-hydrological-mechanical (THM) processes in the ground and investigated the computational performance of the coupling analysis algorithm. The present sequential approach linked the two different solvers: an open-source numerical code, OpenGeoSys for solving the thermal and hydrological processes in porous media and a commercial code, FLAC3D for solving the geomechanical response of the ground. A benchmark test of the developed simulator was carried out using a THM problem where an analytical solution is given. The benchmark problem involves the coupled behavior (variations in temperature, pore pressure, stress, and deformation with time) of a fully saturated porous medium which is subject to a point heat source. The results of the analytical solution and numerical simulation were compared and the validity of the numerical simulator was investigated.

Protein contact map은 단백질 삼차구조에 대한 정보를 이차원의 이미지로 표현하는 방법의 하나로, 비교적 간략하지만 단백질 구조에 대한 핵심적 정보를 함축하고 있다. 이러한 단백질 구조를 바탕으로 단백질의 internal energy, solvation free energy, free energy 와 같은 열역학 함수를 도출할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 이미지 인식에 대한 머신러닝 기법을 사용하여 단백질 구조를 함축하는 단백질의 contact map으로부터 단백질의 열역학적 함수를 예측하는 연구를 진행하였다. 단백질의 main-chain 간의 contact map, side-chain 간의 contact map, main-chain과 side-chain 간의 contact map 들로부터 단백질의 여러 가지 열역학적 함수를 예측하고자 했으며 최종적으로 Convolution Neural Network (CNN) 기법을 사용하여 단백질의 free energy를 ~18 kcal/mol의 범위에서 예측 가능함을 보였다. 본 연구를 바탕으로 단백질의 contact map과 열역학 함수 사이의 상관관계가 있으며, 머신러닝 기법을 사용하여 단백질 contact map으로부터 열역학적 함수를 예측하는 것이 가능함을 보였다.

Conventional efficiencies of the adiabatic compression process such as isentropic efficiency and polytropic efficiency can be explained as exergetic efficiencies replacing the reference atmospheric temperature with the temperature which can be determined in the process itself. So that, other efficies such as maximum isentropic efficiency can be defined by giving proper reference temperatures. By applying the same logical principles, exergetic and other rational efficiencies for the non-adiabatic compression process are also defined and discussed for their physical meanings and reasonable engineering applications.

영광 1호기의 일차계통인 원자로 냉각재 평균온도( $T_{avg}$)를 적정값으로 미세조정하여 운전할 때, 2차계통 주요 운전변수인 주증기압력이 상승하고 터빈출력이 상승함을 발견하여 이에 대한 터빈사이클 열성능 변화를 발전소 전체 열평형 계산에 의해 정량적으로 파악하고, 그 원인을 열역학 2법칙에서의 엔트로피개념을 이용한 유용에너지의 최대값인 엑서지이론을 적용하여 분석하고자하였다. 분석 결과 열평형 계산에서는 전체 열량의 대부분인 63.2%가 복수기에서 손실되는 것으로 나타나는 반면, 열역학 제2법칙의 엑서지를 이용한 분석에서는 비가역손실이 주로 터빈(전체 엑서지의 12.7%)에서 일어나고 그 다음이 복수기(5.7%), 급수가열기(2.1%) 그리고 1,2단 재열기 (1.0%)의 순으로 전체 사이클에서 일어나며, 주증기 압력이 상승할 때 터빈 출력이 상승하는 주원인은 주증기의 유용성(엑서지)이 크게 증가하는 것에 비해 터빈사이클에서의 비가역손실은 적게 증가하기 때문으로 나타났다.다.

Thermodynamic principles are described with a new point of view. In present study, the interaction between two systems is focused instead of the behavior of a system in conventional thermodynamics. The state change of a system cannot occur by itself but it is the result of the interaction between systems. However, the interaction itself is also the result of another kind of interaction, the interaction between two interactions. To reconstruct thermodynamics with such a point of view, the reversible world is imagined, in which conservations and measurements are discussed. There exists a conserved quantity for each mode of reversible interaction. The conserved transferring quantity in the interaction between interactions is the effective work, which is supposed to be measurable and conserved in reversible world. Effective work is the primary concepts of energy. It is the key factor to explain measurements, energy conservation and energy dissipation. The concepts developed in reversible world are applied to the real world in which irreversible phenomena may occur. Irreversibility is the result of effective energy dissipation, in which effective work irreversibly changes into entropy. A quantitative relation between the disappearing effective work and the generated entropy is dissipation equation which is given by experiments. A special temperature scale to give a very simple type of the dissipation equation is the absolute temperature scale, which gives the conventional conservation of energy.

The thermal and mechanical properties of fiber-reinforced mortars for thermal energy storage were investigated in this paper. The effect of the combination of different cementitious composite on the thermal and mechanical characteristics of fiber-reinforced mortars was investigated. Experiments were performed to measure mechanical properties including compressive strength before and after thermal cycling and split tensile strength, and to measure thermal properties including thermal conductivity and specific heat. The results showed that the residual compressive strength of mixtures with OPC and graphite was greatest among the mixtures. Thermal conductivity of mixtures with alumina cement was greater than that of mixtures with OPC, indicating favor of alumina cement for charging and discharging in thermal energy storage system. The addition of zirconium into alumina cement increased specific heat of mixtures. Test results of this study could be used to provide information of material properties for thermal energy storage concrete.
