MOV(Main Oxidizer shut-off Valves) control the combustion of launch vehicle systems by the supply and the isolation of liquid oxygen to a main combustion chamber in launch vehicle systems. Moreover, the MOV should secure a constant flow rate of liquid oxygen for combustion instability in the steady operational state. Although it has been showed that a EM(Engineering Model) with a high discharge coefficient value compared with the TM(Technology Model) fills the overall performance requirements, additional design modifications in some critical parts of the EM were conducted to improve the performance. The configurations of the pressure-control body, the middle flange, and the rips of the inlet body of the EM were modified and the performance tests have been performed with test models. Consequently, the intended improvements have been verified by the performance tests.

Turbo blowers are mainly used in refuse collection systems. We discuss blower performance in relation to the angle of the inlet vane installed at the upstream of the blower. The flow characteristics of the components are analyzed by three-dimensional Navier-Stokes analysis and compared to experimental results. A two-stage serially connected turbo blower is introduced to analyze the performance experimentally. Throughout the experimental measurements and the numerical simulation, the distorted inlet velocity generated in the small vane angle reduces the performance of the blower, because of the local leading-edge separation and the resulting non-uniform blade loading. We also perform a detailed flow analysis using the results obtained in the numerical simulation.

The performance test of an axial-type turbine is carried out with various axial gap distances between the stator and rotor. The turbine is operated at the low pressure and speed, and the degree of reaction is 0.373 at the mean radius. The axial-type turbine consists of ons-stage and 3-dimensional blades. The chord length of rotor is 28.2mm and mean diameter of turbine is 257.56mm. The power of turbo-blower for input power is 30kW and mass flow rate is $340m^3$/min at 290mmAq static-pressure. The RPM and output power are controlled by a dynamometer connected directly to the turbine shaft. The axial gap distances are changed from a quarter to three times of stator axial chord length, and performance curves are obtained with 9 different axial gaps. The efficiency varies about 8% of its peak value due to the variation of axial gap on the same non-dimensional mass flow rate and RPM, and experimental results show that the optimum axial gap is 1.6-1.9Cx.

최근 국내 하천복원사업의 방향(패러다임)이 구하도를 포함한 홍수터의 중요성을 인식하게 됨에따라 과거 하천사업 시 발생되었던 폐천구역을 가능한 한 하천구역에 편입하여 보존하려는 노력이 시도되고 있다. 본 연구는 하천복원사업의 일환으로 함평천 구하도 복원을 함으로써 발생할 수 있는 흐름특성변화 및 하상변화를 파악하기 위한 목적으로 수리모형실험과 수치모의를 수행하였다. 실험대상구간은 함평천 중류 구하도 복원구간(1.34 km)이며, 수리모형은 Froude 상사법칙에 따라 수평축척 1/50, 연직축척 1/25의 모형으로 제작하였다. 실험조건으로는 재현기간 50년, 100년의 홍수량과 강턱유량 두 케이스$(100\;m^3/s$, $120\;m^3/s)$를 적용하였고, 구하도 복원수로의 흐름특성은 고정상 조건에 대해 분석하였다. 구하도 복원전/후의 홍수위 비교를 통해 구하도 복원후의 하도에서는 단면확대로 인한 통수능 증가로 홍수위 저감효과를 확인 할 수 있었다. 구하도 복원후의 유속변화는 통수능의 증가로 복원전에 비해 저감되었다. 기존하도와 복원하도간의 유속차가 다소 크게 나타났는데 이는 복원하도의 단면형상과 와류발생으로 인해 나타난 것으로 판단된다. 복원하도내의 유황은 일부구간에서 흐름정체현상과 역류현상이 발생되는데 이 구간에는 퇴적현상이 예측된다. 수리모형실험의 유사퇴적경향과 FESWMS 모형의 하상전단력을 비교한 결과는 유사하게 나타났으며, 복원하도의 넓은 둔치지역에 넓은 퇴적층이 형성되어 차후 환경구조물 등을 이용한 흐름제어 및 유지관리대책에 의한 문제해결이필요할 것으로 판단된다.

Experiments were conducted to determine the operating characteristics of a small-scale ORC (organic Rankine cycle) system for various low-temperature heat sources. A small-scale ORC power generation system adopting R-245fa as a working fluid was designed and manufactured. Hot water was used as the heat source, and the temperature was controlled using 110-kW electric resistance heaters that provided temperatures of up to $150^{\circ}C$. An open-drive oil-free scroll expander directly connected to a synchronous generator was installed in the ORC unit. Experiments were conducted by varying the rotational speed of the expander under the same heat source temperature conditions. The factors that influence the performance of the small-scale ORC system were analyzed and discussed.

The dynamics of a water-steam system in a once-through boiler was simulated based on the physics-based modeling approach, representing the system in response to large load change or scale disturbance simulations. The modeling considered the mass, energy conservation, and momentum equation in the water pipe and the focus was limited to the sub-critical pressure region. An evaporator tube modeling was validated against the reference data. A simplified boiler system consisting of economizer, evaporator, and superheater was constructed to match a 500 MW power boiler. The dynamic response of the system following a disturbance was discussed along with the quantitative response characteristics. The dynamic response of the boiler system was further evaluated by checking the case of an off-design point operation of the feedwater-to-fuel supply ratio. The results re-emphasized the significance of controlling the feedwater-to-fuel supply ratio and additional design requirements of the water-steam separator and spray attemperator.

This paper describes how to apply one-dimensional simulation to predict unsteady state characteristics of the cold-gas pintle thruster. Mass flow rate, chamber pressure, and nozzle exit pressure are key parameters for thrust control. Chamber pressure rose and fell monotonously with the pintle stroke variation, while thrust variation was different from chamber pressure variation. During the forward pintle stroke operation, the thrust value tended to decrease initially and returned to increase when pintle speed and chamber free volume exceed some specified value. Even though one-dimensional simulation has the limitations to predict unsteady state characteristics, it is still useful for initial performance assessment of various thrusters which adopt an altitude compensation nozzle such as a dual-bell nozzle, prior to experiment or numerical analysis.

In this study, an integrated boration and dilution (INBAD) model is proposed to predict the required makeup flowrate for RCS boron concentration change and to analyze the boron concentration behavior at each subsystem within the RCS including CVCS during boration and dilution operation. The INBAD model is constructed by integrating an existing neutronic code and a boration and dilution model. The boration and dilution model has been developed for our specific purpose using the one-cell model and multi-cell model. In addition, in order to assess the boron concentration behavior more realistically, two important features such as variable pressurizer heater output and optional makeup mode (either direct or indirect injection) are implemented in this model. In order to demonstrate the usefulness of this model, the boron concentration behavior analysis at each subsystem were performed for both direct and indirect injection mode using YGN 3 and 4 design data. Also, the effect of pressurizer heater output on the primary loop boron concentration was investigated. The results showed that the boron concentration changes can be predicted accurately at each subsystem during boration and dilution operation.

최근 도시의 발달은 하상공간에 대한 이용도를 높이는 방향으로 개발이 진행되어가는 추세이며, 하상도로 및 하상주차장의 이용은 이제 도시 내에서 이용 가능한 마지막 여유 공간으로 인식될 정도로 그 의존도가 높아져가고 있다. 그러나 하상공간의 활용도가 높아져갈 수록 도시홍수의 발생으로 인한 대피문제가 발생하게 되고 돌발홍수로 인하여 하상도로의 차단 혹은 하상 주차장에 주차된 차량의 소거가 늦어지는 경우 고스란히 피해를 보게 되는 등 그 부작용도 계속 증가되고 있다. 도시홍수의 특성을 살펴보면 국지성 돌발 강우에 의한 유량의 급격한 증가와 짧은 유하시간, 작은 유역면적 등에 의하여 주요 예보지점까지의 도달시간이 매우 짧아 수문학적 홍수예측 모형을 이용하여 홍수예측 업무를 수행하는데 선행시간을 충분히 확보할 수 없다는 단점을 지니고 있다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 기존의 하천시스템에 대한 모의모형을 통하여 홍수 예경보를 발령하기에는 선행시간의 확보(대피시간의 확보)라는 측면에서 상당한 어려움을 지닐 수 있으므로 시시각각으로 측정되는 실시간 수위측정 자료 및 실시간 강우자료를 이용하여 모형의 수행과정을 생략하고, 하천의 수위변동을 직접 예측하여 대피할 수 있는 통계학적 모형 (회귀분석 기법) 기반의 수문모형을 개발하였다. 이를 위하여 각 관측 자료로부터 대상 지점(홍수 예보지점)의 수위를 간단한 입력 자료만으로도 직접 구할 수 있는 통계학적 기법을 활용하여 홍수예보 업무를 실시할 수 있도록 하였다. 이에 따라 강우강도 등의 강우정보, 하천 수위정보 등을 이용하여 간단한 홍수예보가 가능한 규칙을 제시하였고, 홍수예보 업무에 신속하게 대응할 수 있는 시스템을 구축하기 위하여 Visual Basic 6.0을 사용한 GUI 기반의 홍수예측 수문모형을 구성하였으며, 제어변수(control variable)로는 강우 관측자료, 수위 등 유출관측 자료로 구분하여 수문모형을 구성함으로써 실무자들이 쉽게 활용할 수 있는 홍수 예경보 시스템의 기본모형을 제시하였다.

A power supply of cathode has been developed for hall-effect thruster for small satellite. A microwave cathode has been applied to the electric propulsion system and cathode power is necessary in oder to work securely. Anode current is varied by a flow rate controlled by anode tank pressure. Then cathode current has to be controled in proportion by anode current. So cathode power supply has been designed to offer a current proportional to anode current. Also cathode power has been tuned to work securely for cathode to emit more electron than anode within 0.03A. The function test of cathode power was performed by constructing an equivalent load for anode and cathode. It has been tested in a vacuum chamber in order to ensure a stable operation of the thruster. And it was confirmed that thruster normally has been operated in the space environment after the launch.
