Restriction orifices in the feed and bleed circuit of nuclear power plant are designed using computer program capable of handling multiple hole cascade orifice assembly. Single hole stages of orifice assembly are alternated with multihole stages where necessary. The distance between stages is such that it allows full pressure recovery. The minimum static pressure is higher than vapor pressure at the operating temperature so that cavitation does not occur. Piping sizes are reviewed and increased if necessary to improve rigidity.

기존 냉각수 주입 계통의 안전성 및 신뢰도를 높이려는 노력에서 미국, 일본, 이태리 등 여러 나라에서는 증기 주입기에 대한 분석 기법 개발과 실험을 통한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 이들이 이상 유동 현상이 일어나는 혼합 노즐을 해석하기 위해 사용한 방법은 제어체적 분석기법으로, 이 분석 방법에서는 응축 메커니즘을 고려할 수 없다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 사항을 개선하기 위해 혼합 노즐 해석시 one dimensional two fluid model을 적용하여 상간의 운동량 및 에너지 전달을 고려함으로써 비교적 정확하게 해석 모델 및 코드를 개발하였고, 출력 변수인 방출 압력과 방출 온도를 계산하였으며, 개발한 해석 코드를 검증 및 분석을 하기 위해 ANL 실험자료를 근거로 하였다. 개발한 코드에 의해 계산된 방출 압력은 ALN 실험치에 비해 높은 경향을 보여 주었지만 ANL에서 제어 체적 분석 기법을 적용하여 이론식으로 계산한 값보다는 비교적 정확한 경향을 보여 주었다.

분자동역학 전산모사를 통하여 에폭시에 다양한 반경의 구형 실리콘 카바이드를 삽입한 나노복합재를 모델링하고, 이들의 기계적 물성과 열적 물성 해석을 다양한 온도조건 하에서 수행하였다. 전산모사 결과 동일한 체적분율 하에서 나노복합재는 입자의 크기가 작아질수록 탄성계수와 전단계수가 상승하는 동시에 선팽창계수는 감소하는 입자의 크기효과를 보였다. 또한 온도 상승에 따른 기계적 물성의 하락이 잘 관찰되었다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 분자동역학 해석 결과를 바탕으로 다양한 온도조건 하에서의 입자의 크기효과를 고려한 멀티스케일 3상 모델을 제시하였다. 유리상 조건 범위에서 온도 변화에 따른 나노복합재 계면의 열응력텐서와 열변형률텐서의 정보를 통해 복합재 내에서 계면이 차지하는 부피비를 온도에 대한 함수로 고려하고, 이를 멀티스케일 모델에 반영함으로써 다양한 온도조건에 대한 나노복합재 열탄성 물성의 예측해를 제시하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 모델에서 계산된 3상 복합재의 물성은 분자동역학 전산모사의 결과에서 나타나는 나노입자의 크기효과를 잘 반영하였다.

This paper presents the results of an investigation into the thermo-hydromechanical response of weathered granite soil. The effect of forced change temperature and relative humidity at the soil layer boundaries were monitored during heating. A series of load settlement test were performed on layers of compacted, unsatureated weathered granite soil with geosynthetic embedded at mid height before and after application of heat exchanger to the base of the soil layers. The results from this study indicated the potential for using embedded heat exchangers for the mechanical improvement of geotechnical systems incorporating weathered granite soil.

In this paper, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was carried to predict thermo-mechanical behaviors for carbon nanotube (CNT) reinforced epoxy composites and to analyze the trends. Total of six models having the volume fractions of CNT from 0 to 25% in epoxy were constructed. To predict thermal behaviors, temperature was increased constantly from 300 to 600 K, and the glass transition temperature ($T_g$) and coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) analyzed using the relationship between temperature and specific volume. The elastic moduli that represented to the mechanical behaviors were also predicted by constant strain. Additionally, the effects of functionalization of CNT on mechanical behaviors of composite were analyzed. Models were constructed to represent CNTs functionalized by nitrogen doping and COOH groops, and interfacial behaviors and elastic moduli were analyzed. Results showed that the agglomerations of CNTs in epoxy cause by perturbations of thermo-mechanical behaviors, and the functionalization of CNTs improved the interfacial response as well as mechanical properties.

In this study, a device and pressure press process that is able to substitute autoclave process is developed. This process complements disadvantages of autoclave process which are long process-time and high production cost. The developed device provides air pressure as well as the vacuum which are greatest feature of autoclave process. The device is sealed using hydraulic pressure to keep the air pressure inside the mold. The transfer of the heat is designed to be direct. The heating and pressure charging time are decreased by reducing the interior space. Tooling cost is reduced dramatically compared to autoclave process. Spring-back phenomenon is measured and compared. The temperatures of several parts of the mold during molding are measured. The fiber volume fraction of the parts molded by autoclave process and by the developed process are compared.

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.

This paper attempted to investigate the temperature characteristics and electrical conduction when low density polyethylene is irradiated. It was found that the log $\rho$ versus 1/T in irradiated polyethylene specimen resulted in different characteristics when it was heated upto above the melting point from when it was heated at the beginning stage. It was also found that the relation between the temperature and volume resistivity represented jumping phenomenon and that crystallization by thermal change was closely related to the fusion of crystalline region.

The objective of this study is to design of a cooling system of the over-molding mold for a socket component of an automobile wiper by performing numerical analyses. Hot spots in which the temperature distributions are higher than those of other region, were estimated by an initial over-molding analysis for the initial design of the mold. On the basis of the initial over-molding analysis, two types of cooling system designs with a linear cooling channel and a volumetric heat sink, were considered to improve the cooling characteristics of hot spots. To obtain an appropriate cooling system design, the effects of the diameter and the position of the linear cooling channels on the cooling characteristics and the product qualities were quantitatively examined. In addition, the effects of the design of the volumetric heat sink on the cooling characteristics and deformation distributions in the molded product were investigated. The results of the over-molding analysis of the two types of cooling systems showed that the multi-sliced over-molding mold with a volumetric heat sink can improve both the product quality and the cooling characteristics of the mold.
