CRUD (chalk river unidentified deposits) is a porous material deposited on the surface of nuclear fuel during nuclear power plant operation. The CRUD is composed of metal oxides, such as iron, nickel, and chromium. It is essential to investigate the effects of the CRUD layer on the wall heat transfer between the nuclear fuel surface and the coolant in the event of a nuclear accident. CRUD only negatively affects the temperature of the nuclear fuel due to heat resistance because the effects of the CRUD layer on two-phase boiling heat transfer are not considered. In this study, the physical property models for the porous CRUD layer were developed and implemented into the SPACE code. The effects of boiling heat transfer models on the peak cladding temperature and quenching were investigated by simulating a reflood experiment. The calculation results showed some positive effects of the CRUD layer.

Numerical values of thermodynamic properties such as temperature, pressure, dryness, volume, enthalpy and entropy are required in numerical analysis on evaluating the thermal performance. But the steam table itself cannot be used without modelling. From this point of view the neural network with function approximation characteristics can be an alternative. the multi-layer neural networks were made for saturated vapor region and superheated vapor region separately. For saturated vapor region the neural network consists of one input layer with 1 node, two hidden layers with 10 and 20 nodes each and one output layer with 7 nodes. For superheated vapor region it consists of one input layer with 2 nodes, two hidden layers with 15 and 25 nodes each and one output layer with 3 nodes. The proposed model gives very successful results with ${\pm}0.005%$ of percentage error for temperature, enthalpy and entropy and ${\pm}0.025%$ for pressure and specific volume. From these successful results, it is confirmed that the neural networks could be powerful method in function approximation of the steam table.

발전소 물/증기 순환계통의 주요 기기인 증기발생기/보일러는 금속산화물과 각종 불순물이 축적되면 전열관이 손상되므로, 증기발생기/보일러 내부로 최소의 슬러지가 유입되고, 증기발생기 내부에서 금속산화물 입자가 형성되는 것을 억제하기 위해 수질관리를 하고 있으며, 증기발생기 내부에 존재하는 슬러지를 배출하기 위해 Blowdown 및 Sludge Lancing 등의 물리적 방법을 이용하는 기술이 개발되어 있다. 그러나 이러한 관리에도 불구하고 슬러지 성분인 금속산화물 농도는 운전 조건에 따라 매우 다르며(불순물 잠복 및 방출 현상), 아직까지 잠복현상에 대한 기본적인 메커니즘은 완전히 규명되고 있지 않다. 본 연구에서는 물/증기 순환계통 부식생성물의 물성 평가를 하기 위해 순환계통 기기들과 배관 부식생성물의 대부분인 철분이 부식에 가장 큰 영향을 미치기 때문에, 수화학 조건 및 금속합금 종류에 따라 생성되는 부식생성물을 철분을 중심으로 하여 실험하였고, 또한 부식생성물은 온도에 의해서도 영향을 많이 받기 때문에 다양한 온도에서도 부식생성물 생성 실험을 하였다.

The velocity of gadolinium(Gd) atomic vapor vaporized by an electron beam was measured by a microbalance. The velocity of about 900 ㎧ was obtained at an evaporation surface temperature of 2400-2500 K. The measured value was approximately 100 ㎧ faster than the maximum velocity of an ideal monatomic gas in an adiabatic expansion. This phenomenon can be explained that the internal energy of Gd atoms populated in higher excited levels at the high temperature should be convened to kinetic energy during adiabatic expansion. The calculated velocity agrees with the measured one when 100 excited energy levels are included in an enthalpy term for the velocity calculation. The characteristics of vapor flow as a function of heated surface temperature are also reported.

The objective of this study was to determine the efficacy of different water temperatures and time of spray-washing on the removal of bacteria contamination from surface of pork carcass and to obtain better meat quality with high temperature stream between 60 to 90℃ for the time ranged from 10 to 60 sec. Results showed that total plate counts were significantly decreased with increasing steam temperature(P<0.05). Similar results were found with the spray time(P<0.05). The lightness(CIE L*) value was significantly increased in both loin and ham cuts over 80℃(P<0.05). Ultimate pH of muscle and water-holding capacity were decreased with increasing steam temperature(P<0.05). There was a significant difference in solubility of sarcoplasmic protein between 70℃ and 80℃ of the steam treatments with higher value at 70℃(P<0.05). Again, longer than 30 sec spray at 70℃ steam, the lightness value of pork was significantly increased(P<0.05), while pH and water-holding capacity of muscle were significantly decreased(P<0.05). Therefore, a desirable pork quality would be achieved with spray-steam washing at 70℃ for 20 sec on pork carcass.

In this paper, we present a method of fuzzy controller design for the power plant superheater in the form of bilinear system. For the steam temperature control, the input variables are constructed by the area of difference between the profiles estimated from bilinear observer and reference profiles, and the time rate of change. We estimate the control rules by T. Takagi and M. Sugeno's fuzzy model. The feasibilities of the suggested method are illustrated via the computer simulation results.

Jet-A spray and combustion were numerically analyzed in annular type combustor model using KIVA3V. The combustor geometry have 6 dilute holes. Swirl effect and thermal NO were considered in this investigation to analyze mixing and combustion characteristics. Fuel vapor, flame temperature, NO generation were investigated for various spray angle. As increase of spray angle, Jet-A vapor appeared uniformly in primary zone and evaporation rate was increased. Mixing between fuel vapor and ambient gas was enhanced as increase of spray angle. As a result, high temperature region appeared widely and thermal NO generation rate was increased.

In numerical analysis for phase change material, numerical values of thermodynamic properties such as temperature, pressure, specific volume, enthalpy and entropy are required. But the steam table or diagram itself cannot be used without modelling. In this study applicability of neural networks in modelling superheated vapor region of water was examined by comparing with the quadratic spline. neural network consists of an input layer with 2 nodes, two hidden layers and an output layer with 3 nodes. Quadratic spline interpoation method was also applied for comparison. Neural network model revealed smaller percentage error to quadratic spline interpolation. From these results, it is confirmed that the neural networks could be powerful method in modelling the superheated range of the steam table.

The system performance of the regenerative gas-turbine cycle with the steam injection into the combustor has been studied through the thermodynamic cyclic analysis. The effects of the pressure ratio, the steam injection ratio, the ambient temperature, and the turbine inlet temperature are investigated on the thermal efficiency, the fuel consumption, and the specific power as well as the operating conditions for the maximum thermal efficiency of the system. The results of the present analysis find that the use of steam injection in the regenerative gas-turbine system can greatly enhance the thermal efficiency and the specific power of the system.
