In pressurized water nuclear reactors (PWRs), the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) upper head contains penetration nozzles that use a control rod drive mechanism (CRDM). The penetration nozzle uses J-groove weld geometry. Recently, the occurrence of cracking in alloy 600 CRDM penetration nozzle has increased. This is attributable to primary water stress corrosion cracking (PWSCC). PWSCC is known to be susceptible to the welding residual stress and operational stress. Generally, the tensile residual stress is the main factor contributing to crack growth. Therefore, this study investigates the effect on weld residual stress through different analysis methods for normal operating conditions using finite element analysis. In addition, this study also considers the effect of repeated normal operating condition cycles on the weld residual stress. Based on the analysis result, this paper presents a normal operating condition analysis method.

This paper presents a preliminary study of a convergent divergent nozzle in an afterburning turbofan engine of a supersonic aircraft engine. In order to design a convergent divergent nozzle, cycle model of a low bypass afterburning turbofan engine of which thrust class is 29,000 lbf at a sea level static condition is established. The cycle analysis at the design point is conducted by Gasturb 12 software and one dimensional gas properties at a downstream direction of the turbine are obtained. The dimension and configuration of an model turbofan engine are derived from take-off operation with wet reheat condition. The off-design cycle calculation is conducted at the all flight envelope on the maximum flight Mach number of 2.0 and maximum flight altitude of 15,000 m.

TPTF (Turbopump Real Propellant Test Facility) at Naro Space Center has used alcohol burner system to simulate the gas flow of gas generator of liquid rocket engine. During the test at TPTF, the temperature and pressure at turbine inlet were smoothly increased while those of the gas generator of engine were constant. Present research developed a simulation code for the burner and the piping system and applied to the system. The calculation results were in good agreement with the test, and confirmed quantitatively that the non-steadiness is due to the heat transfer of the pipe. While the insulation of the pipe is ineffective, the length has a large impact on the turbine inlet condition. The present research clarified the empirically estimation of test condition, and can be applied to determination of the following test conditions.

신재생에너지원의 하나인 연료전지 시스템이나 배터리 백업용 전력변환 회로는 많은 응용분야에서 고승압 직류변환장치의 구조로 낮은 입력전압을 높은 출력전압으로 승압한다. 이를 위한 고승압회로의 여러 가지 방식중에서 다단으로 직렬 접속된 구조의 직류변환장치는 복잡하고 비용이 큰 단점이 있다. 또한 높은 출력전압을 얻을 수 있는 플라이백 직류전원장치는 누설성분에 의해 손실이 크므로 효율이 낮고 소자의 스트레스가 큰 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 배압회로와 결합 인덕터를 이용한 고승압 전원장치를 제안한다. 제안하는 회로는 24V입력에서 300V로 승압한다. 결합 인덕터의 이차 전압은 배압회로에 의해 정류되고 인덕터의 일차측 승압전압과 병렬로 연결되어 출력전압을 만든다. 높은 승압전압이 낮은 듀티사이클로도 얻어지는 제안 회로는 이론적인 해석과 100W 실험장치를 통해 시험하며 그 타당성을 검증한다.

For normally consolidated clay, several researchers have developed a number of theoretical time factors to determine the coefficient of consolidation However, depending on the assumptions and analytical techniques, it could considerably vary even for a specific degree of consolidation. In this paper, a method is proposed to determine a consistent coefficient of consolidation over all ranges of degree of consolidation by applying the concept of the Optimum Design Technique. The initial excess pore pressure distribution is assumed to be obtainable by the successive spherical cavity expansion theory. The dissipation of pore pressure is simulated by means of two dimensional linear-uncoupled axisymmetric consolidation analysis. The minimization of the differences between the measured and the predicted excess pore pressures was carried by BFGS unconstrained optimum design algorithm with one dimensional golden section search technique. By analyzing numerical and real field examples, it can be found that the adopted optimum technique gives a consistent and convergent results.

A turbidity current in a river and a lake occurs due to diverse nutrient loading including suspended sediment in sediment runoff, which affects water withdrawal and river environments. We developed one dimensional time-variant numerical model based on Python for the Nagdonggang mainstream. We examined the numerical stability and the applicability of the model by performing the simulation of quasi-steady flow in non-flooding for three cases, which are different according to the point and the amount of turbidity inflows in the Nagdonggang upstream and a tributary. The result was reasonable in the respect of the conservation of matter. The model will facilitate to simulate a large river if we can secure the data of turbidity variations in a target river reach or measured points in a field.

This paper describes a design methodology for the CMOS current source which can be implemented in standard memory process. The proposed techniques provide a good characteristic against the power-supply variation by utilizing a self-bias circuit and the reduction of the first-order component of the temperature variation through the new temperature compensation technique and include a new current-sensing start-up circuit enabling a robust operation against the voltage noise generated during the operation of the chip. In addition to the circuit-design technology, techniques where the proposed CMOS current-reference circuit can be applied to the clocking circuits of a very high-speed DRAM are presented. The feasibility of the suggested design methodology for the CMOS current reference is demonstrated by both the analytical method and the circuit simulation.

한국어 형태소 해석기와 같은 한국어 정보 치리 시스템은 많은 전자 사진 검색 작업을 요구하기 때문에 전자 사전의 성능은 전체 시스템의 성능에 많은 영향을 미친다. 이에 본 논문은 적은 기억 장소를 차지하면서 탐색 속도가 빠른 Finite State Transducer(FST)를 이용한 전자 사전 구조를 제안한다. 제안된 전자 사진은 Deterministic Finite State Automata(DFA)로 표제어를 표현하고 DFA 상태수 최소화 알고리즘으로 모든 위치에 존재하는 중복된 상태를 제거하여 필요한 기억 장소가 적으며, FST를 일차원 배열에 매핑하고 탐색시 이 배열내에서의 상태 전이만으로 탐색을 하기 때문에 탐색 속도가 매우 빠르다. 또한 TRIE 구조에서와 같이 한번의 탐색으로 입력된 단어로 가능한 모든 표제어들을 찾아 줄 수 있다. 실험 결과 표제어 수가 증가하여도 FST를 이용한 전자 사전의 크기는 표제어 수에 비례하여 커지지 않고, 전자 사전 탐색 시간은 표제어 수에 영향을 받지 않으며, 약 237만 단어를 검색하는 실험에서 TRIE나 $B^+-Tree$구조를 사용한 전자 사전보다 빠름을 알 수 있었다.

A required initial condition for a steam explosion to occur following core meltdown accidents of a nuclear power plant is the formation of a coarse mixture of molten fuel and water. The extent of a premixing is the measure of efficiency of steam explosion that may follow. A simple one-dimensional, transient model and the flooding criteria have been applied to evaluate the fuel/coolant mixing limit. Also, both instant breakup and dynamic breakup models for the mixing process have been separately used here and compared each other. The results indicate that fuel temperature, ambient pressure, mixing diameter, water depth, and pouring diameter are the important parameters affecting the mixing behavior.
