In nuclear power plants, there is a risk of thermal fatigue in equipment and piping affecting system soundness because the temperature change of the system accompanies in every operation and shutdown. Therefore, in order to prevent the excess of the fatigue limit during the lifetime of plants, the fatigue limit of each piping material is determined in the designing stage. However, there are many cases where equipment or piping is locally subjected to thermal fatigue that is not considered in the design, resulting in damage to the equipment and piping, and failure during operation. Currently, local thermal fatigue generation mechanisms that are not taken into account in the design stage are gradually being identified. In this paper, the effects of the fluid temperature fluctuations on the piping soundness due to the mixing of hot and cold water, one of the local thermal fatigue generating mechanisms, were evaluated.

Film cooling performance from two rows of holes with opposite orientation angles is evaluated in terms of heat flux ratio. The film cooling hole has a fixed inclination angle of 35°and orientation angle of 45°for the downstream row and -45°for the upstream row. Four film cooling hole arrangements including inline and staggered configurations are investigated. The blowing ratio studied was 1.0. Boundary layer temperature distributions are measured to investigate injectant behaviors and mixing characteristics. Detailed distributions of the adiabatic film cooling effectiveness and the heat transfer coefficient are measured using TLC(Thermochromic Liquid Crystal). For the inline configuration, there forms a downwash flow at the downstream hole exit to make the injectant well attach to the wall, which gives high adiabatic film cooling effectiveness and heat transfer coefficient. The evaluation of heat flux ratio shows that the inline configuration gives better film cooling performance with the help of the downwash flow at the downstream hole exits.

Experimental results are presented, which describe the effect of blowing ratio on film cooling from two rows of holes with opposite orientation angles. The inclination angle is fixed at 35°, and the orientation angles are set to be 45°for the downstream row, and -45°for the upstream row. The studied blowing ratios are 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0. The boundary layer temperature distributions are measured using thermocouple at two downstream locations. Detailed adiabatic film cooling effectiveness and heat transfer coefficient distributions are measured with TLC(Thermochromic Liquid Crystal). The adiabatic film cooling effectiveness and heat transfer coefficient distributions are discussed in connection with the injectant behaviors inferred from the boundary layer temperature distributions. Film cooling performance, represented by heat flux is evaluated from the adiabatic film cooling effectiveness and heat transfer coefficient data. The results show that the investigated geometry provides improved film cooling performance at the high blowing ratios of 1.0 and 2.0.

Turbulent mixing of hot and cold coolants is one of the possible causes of high cycle thermal fatigue in piping systems of nuclear power plants. A typical situation for such mixing appears in turbulent flow through a T-junction. Since the high cycle thermal fatigue caused by thermal striping was not considered in the piping fatigue design in several nuclear power plants, it is very important to evaluate the effect of thermal striping on the integrity of mixing tees. In the present work, before conducting detailed evaluation, three thermal striping evaluation methodology suggested by EPRI, JSME and NESC are analyzed. Then, a by-pass pipe connected to the shutdown cooling system heat exchanger is investigated by using these evaluation methodology. Consequently, the resulting thermal stresses and the fatigue life of the mixing tee are reviewed and compared to each other. Futhermore, the limitation of each methodology are also presented in this paper.

A performance of reactor coolant pump in two-phase flow is examined using the pump geometric conditions and the performance of the pump in single-phase flow. Wall friction loss of the reactor coolant pump in single-phase flow is prdicted using the Truckenbrodt boundary layer theory, and the head loss in two-phase flow is predicted with calculated well friction loss and separation loss coefficients. The analysis results are compared with the Combustion Engineering pump test data. The effect of two-phase multiplier on the peak clad temperature in Loss-of-Coolant Accident is also examined using the RELAP5 and the results indicate the importance of its accuracy.

Crystallinity and structual properties of the epitaxially grown Pt films on $Al_2O_3$(0001) substrate by rf magnetron sputtering at a substrate temperature of $600^{\circ}C$ were studied by using backscattering spectrometry (BS)/channeling and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) measurements. $MeV^4$He ion BS/channeling results showed that the channeling minimum yield of Pt film with a thickness of 3500$\AA$ was 4%. This indicates an excellent crystallinity of Pt film. When the thickness of Pt film was less than 200 $\AA$, the channeling minimum yield of Pt film increased sharply with the decrease in film thickness. The Pt layer on $Al_2O_3$(0001) substrate grew epitaxially to the direction of (111) with six-fold symmetry. Cross-sectional TEM images also showed that Pt film on $Al_2O_3$(0001) substrate consist of twinned domains to release the strain induced by the lattice mismatch and the surface roughness of the film increased at the twin boundaries where the strain was contcentrated.

CeO2 는 cubic 구조의 일종인 CeF2 구조를 가지며 격자 상수가 0.541nm로 Si의 격자 상수 0.543nm와 거의 비슷하여 Si과의 부정합도가 0.35%에 불과하여 CeO2를 Si 기판 위에 에피택셜하게 성장시킬 수 있는 가능성이 크다. 따라서 SOI(Silicon-On-Insulator) 구조의 실현을 위하여 Si 기판위에 CeO2를 에피택셜하게 성장시키려는 많은 노력이 있었다. 또한 CeO2 는 열 적으로 대단히 안정된 물질로서 금속/강유전체/반도체 전계효과 트랜지스터(MFSFET : metal-ferroelectric-semiconductor field effect transistor)에서 ferroelectric 박막과 Si 기판사이에 완충층으로 사용되어 강유전체의 구성 원자와 Si 원자들간의 상호 확산을 방지함으로써 경계면의 특성을 향상시기키 위해 사용된다. e-beam evaporation와 laser ablation에 의한 Si 기판 위의 CeO2 격자 성장에 관한 많은 보고서가 있다. 이 방법들은 대규모 생산 공정에서 사용하기 어려운 반면 RF-magnetron sputtering은 대규모 반도체 공정에 널리 쓰인다. Sputtering에 의한 Si 기판위의 CeO2 막의 성장에 관한 보고서의 수는 매우 적다. 이 논문에서는 Ce target을 사용한 reactive rf-magnetron sputtering에 의해 Si(100) 과 Si(111) 기판위에 성장된 CeO2 의 구조 및 전기적 특성을 보고하고자 한다. 주요한 증착 변수인 증착 power와 증착온도, Seed Layer Time이 성장막의 결정성에 미치는 영향을 XRD(X-Ray Diffractometry) 분석과 TED(Transmission Electron Diffration) 분석에 의해 연구하였고 CeO2 /Si 구조의 C-V(capacitance-voltage)특성을 분석함으로써 증차된 CeO2 막과 실리콘 기판과의 계면 특성을 연구하였다. CeO2 와 Si 사이의 계면을 TEM 측정에 의해 분석하였고, Ce와 O의 화학적 조성비를 RBS에 의해 측정하였다. Si(100) 기판위에 증착된 CeO2 는 $600^{\circ}C$ 낮은 증착률에서 seed layer를 하지 않은 조건에서 CeO2 (200) 방향으로 우선 성장하였으며, Si(111) 기판 위의 CeO2 박막은 40$0^{\circ}C$ 높은 증착률에서 seed layer를 2분이상 한 조건에서 CeO2 (111) 방향으로 우선 성장하였다. TEM 분석에서 CeO2 와 Si 기판사이에서 계면에서 얇은 SiO2층이 형성되었으며, TED 분석은 Si(100) 과 Si(111) 위에 증착한 CeO2 박막이 각각 우선 방향성을 가진 다결정임을 보여주었다. C-V 곡선에서 나타난 Hysteresis는 CeO2 박막과 Si 사이의 결함때문이라고 사료된다.

Sandwich injection molding is one of the remarkable polymer processes recently developed from conventional injection molding. But it is almost impossible to do theoretical investigation that we've researched it through numerical simulation. In this paper, numerical simulation on the study of sandwich injection molding is based on Finite Element Method and FAN/Control Volume method. In addition to conventional filling parameter that can confirm skin polymer melt front, new filling parameters have been introduced to confirm core polymer melt front advancement. These filling parameters are defined in each layer which is divided to solve temperature field along the thickness direction. One can notice different filling patterns resulted from the variation of material properties such as viscosities and power-law indexes, and processing conditions such as switch-over times and wall temperatures. It gives us a better understanding of the sandwich injection molding process. And we can recognize that it's the core polymer spatial distribution after the completion of filling that is the most important key point to use this process for industrial molding process.
