표면에너지 (surface free energy, SFE)는 클래팅, 페인팅, 접합 기술에서 매우 중요한 요인이다. 그 이유는 표면에너지가 복합재료에서 결합특성의 척도이기 때문이다. 비록, 고체에서 표면에너지는 test inks의 의미로 간주될 수 있지만, 그것은 표면에너지의 정확한 측정을 위한 편리한 방법이 아니다. 우리는 기판의 표면에너지를 평평한 고체기판에 액체를 떨어뜨려 생긴 접촉각을 사용하여 측정하였고, 고체 기판에서 표면에너지의 플라즈마 표면처리의 영향에 대해 조사하였다. 증류수와 디오도메탄을 접촉각 측정 용액으로 사용하였고, Soda-lime glass와 Si wafer에서 신뢰성 있는 표면에너지 값을 얻을 수 있었다. 플라즈마 표면처리를 12초간 진행하였을 때 glass와 Si wafer에서 최대의 표면에너지 값인 74 $mJ/m^2$을 얻을 수 있었고 플라즈마 표면처리가 표면에너지에 미치는 영향은 두 기판 모두에서 약 300분 가량 지속되었다. 12초 이상의 플라즈마 표면처리를 통해 증가된 표면에너지는 스퍼터를 통해 증착한 크롬 박막과 기판 사이의 본딩력을 강하게 하였다. 실험의 신뢰성을 위해 기판에 미세 박막을 증착하여 박막의 핵이 생성될 때의 접촉각을 플라즈마 표면처리 전후와 비교하였다. 이 결과로부터 플라즈마 표면처리는 재료의 코팅과 페인팅 공정에서 재현성을 부여해주는 매우 효율적이고 중요한 방법이라 결론지을 수 있다.

Numerical simulation is performed for nucleate boiling on a micro-finned surface, which has been widely used to enhance heat transfer, by solving the equations governing the conservation of mass, momentum, and energy in the liquid and vapor phases. The bubble motion is determined by a sharp-interface level-set method, which is modified to include the effect of phase change and to treat the no-slip and contact-angle conditions, as well as the evaporative heat flux from the liquid microlayer on immersed solid surfaces such as micro fins and cavities. The numerical results for bubble formation, growth, and departure on a microstructured surface including fins and cavities show that the bubble behavior during nucleate boiling is significantly influenced by the fin-cavity arrangement and the fin-fin spacing.

Earth outer core is composed of iron mainly with some diluent elements, which account for the observed ca. 10% density deficit compared to the pure iron. Among candidates as the light diluents, hydrogen and oxygen were selected, and the thermodynamic stability of the following reaction was calculated; hematite + hydrogen $\to$ goethite + iron. At ambient conditions, Gibb's free energy of this reaction is 12.62 kJ/mol. On increasing pressure at room temperature, it decreases to zero at 0.068 GPa. This energy decreases at constant rate down to 200 GPa, which shows -208.26 kJ/mol at that pressure. From these results, this chemical reaction prefers the reduction environment forming the iron element and iron oxyhydroxide, so possible presence of iron oxyhydroxide with iron at proto-core can not be ruled out.

An optimization of KTF thorium fuel assembly design was performed on the basis of the design parameter studies. Optimization goals ware to make the core have both proliferation resistance and fuel cycle economics. Four kinds of proliferation resistance indexes were used; SNS, TG, BCM, Toxicity. A new index, FEI was regarded as a limiting index for the maximization of fuel cycle economics. Optimized thorium fuel design was applied for APR-1400 reactor core. Nuclear core design procedures were examined to solve the thorium fuel reactor problems. It was shown that heterogeneous thorium fuel core option is acceptable in safety and economics aspects.

AMBIDEXTER 원자로는 액체 핵연료의 유동성을 이용한 온라인 핵연료 정화ㆍ처리ㆍ재생의 연속공정을 도입하여 노내의 잔류 핵분열 생성물질의 포화양을 최소로 유지시키고 중성자 경제성을 극대화하므로 높은 전환율을 얻는 설계이다. 핵연료 내에 잔류하는 핵분열생성물질의 포화농도에 대응하는 연소도를 등가연소도로 정의할 때, 열출력 250MW$_{th}$ AMBIDEXTER 원자로의 등가연소도 374MWD/TeH.E.의 평형 로심 모델에 대해 핵적 자활성을 지배하는 주요 핵설계 인자로서 용융염 핵연료의 $^{233}$ U Mole 분율, 흑연-대-용융염의 체적비, 노심격자 간격 및 출력 밀도의 변화에 따른 임계도 및 전환율을 평가하였다. 그 결과, $^{233}$ U Mole 분율과 혹연-대-용융염 체적비를 좌표축으로 하는 2차원상공간에서 핵적 자활성 요건 상태함수는 각 노심격자간격에 대해 완만한 선형 함수로 표현할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Nucleate pool boiling experiments with constant heat flux condition were performed using pure R11 and R113 for various surface angles under saturated pool condition. A circular heater of 1 mm diameter, with artificial cavity in the center, fabricated using MEMS technique and the high-speed controller were used to maintain the constant heat flux. Images of bubble growth were taken at 5,000 frames per second using a high-speed CCD camera. The bubble geometry was obtained from the captured bubble images. The effects of surface angles on the bubble growth behaviors were analyzed as dimensional scales for the initial and thermal growth regions. The parameters for the bubble growth behaviors were bubble radius, bubble growth rate, sliding velocity, bubble shape and advancing and receding contact angles. These phenomena require further analysis for various surface angles, but this study will provide good experimental data with constant heat flux boundary condition for such works.

The nuclear LS-energy matrix elements have been calculated with the harmonic oscillator shell model wave functions for the configurations ( $l_{i}$ $l_{i+1}$｜ $l_{i}$ $l_{i+1}$) where 1$_1$= $l_{s}$ , $l_2$=lp, $l_3$=ld, 2s, $l_4$=1f, 2p, $l_{5}$ =1g, 2d, 3s. The resulting matrix elements are expressed in terms of both Talmi integrals $I_1$ and Slater integrals $F^{k}$ . In addition to this various sum rules are derived and applied to check the results of the calculations.ons.

The duplex burnable poison absorbers concept was suggested by Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute. This BP rod is composed of inner region of natural U-Gd$_2$O$_3$ and outer shell of enriched UO$_2$-Er$_2$O$_3$. It is expected that this burnable absorber has same reactivity control capability with gadolinia burnable absorber used in extened fuel cycle. In order to evaluate the nuclear feasibility of duplex BPs, the nuclear design characteristics were compared with that of four types of burnable absorbers; gadolinia, erbia, IFBA, dysprosia duplex BP on 24 months fuel cycle for Korean Standard Nuclear Power plants. According to the evaluation results of nuclear characteristics, the duplex BPs were better than other BPs on k-infinitives, reactivity holddown worth (RHW), pin power peaking and moderator temperature coefficient (MTC). The possibility of nuclear core design was also confirmed based on the optimized fuel assemblies which were searched for a sensitivity analysis. Characteristics of core design with duplex BPs was compared with that of reference core with gadolinia BPs for cycle length, power peaking and MTC. The duplex BP core had a little longer cycle length by 4 to 7 days because of increased amount of fissile in enriched uranium at the outer shell of duplex BP In case of power peaking F$\_$Q/ of duplex BP core was reduced from 1.5773 to 1.5335. MTC was also less -0.48 pcm/C than that of reference core. Finally, evaluation of fuel cycle economy was performed for the manufacturing feasibility test and fuel cost evaluation with duplex BPs. Fuel cycle economy of duplex BP core almost was equivalent with that of gadolinia BP core.

In this paper, we attempted to analysis and track dynamic properties of the interdisciplinary relationship between scientific research areas in energy field using bibliometric analysis. We created network maps with SCs (subject categories) defined from $WoS^{\circledR}$ (Web of Science, Thomson Scientific ISI, Philadelphia, USA) using co-occurrence analysis method in order to identify overall disciplines directly linked with energy fields and investigate the change of interaction between SCs as a function of time. From the results of this study, thermodynamics, fuels, chemistry/chemical engineering, and electrochemistry have differentiated into more specific disciplines while the strength of interaction with energy field gradually has increased. Meanwhile, "nuclear physics" was developed to "nuclear science & technology" toward applicable target sector and also the interaction of "environmental science" with "energy generation area" among various energy disciplines recently showed the radical increase as compared with the values of 4 years ago. Finally, through combinative reviews of today's energy policy established by South Korea government, this study will give a help for keeping up with national energy agenda meeting the diverse characteristics of academic disciplines of energy field. In addition, our results support that the use of such network analysis based on bibliometric analysis to discern shifts in academic R&D strategies and target sectors.
