Applications of REBa₂Cu₃O_7-δ tapes require joints with a simple manufacturing process, low resistance and good mechanical properties. In the present study, we successfully developed a copper diffusion joint between Cu-stabilized REBa₂Cu₃O_7-δ tapes that meets the above requirements without solder simply by applying flux, heat and pressurization. After a 3 min thermocompression process at approximately 150 δ and 336 MPa in air, two tapes were directly connected between Cu stabilizers by copper diffusion, which was proven by microstructure analysis. The specific resistivity of the copper diffusion joint reached 5.8 nΩ·cm² (resistance of 0.4 nΩ for a 306 mm splicing length) at 77 K in the self-field. The axial tensile stress reached 200 N without critical current degradation. The results show promise for the preparation of copper diffusion joints to be used in coils, attached tapes, and wire/cable terminals.

이중냉각 환형핵연료 집합체를 위한 비틀림 혼합날개 지지격자의 강제대류열전달 성능을 실험적으로 평가하였다. 비틀림 혼합날개 지지격자는 부수로 간 혼합뿐 아니라 부수로 내 혼합을 동시에 증대시킬 수 있도록 설계되었다. 실험을 위한 이중냉각 환형핵연료 모의 집합체로, 봉 중심 간 거리와 봉 외경의 비가 1.08인 봉 간격이 좁은 $4{\times}4$ 정사각 배열의 봉다발을 준비하였다. 실험은 봉다발 유동의 축방향 평균속도가 1.5 m/s, 열유속은 $26kW/m^2$인 조건에서 수행하였다. 원주방향 온도 분포의 경우, 지지격자 상류에서는 부수로 중심 벽면에서, 하류에서는 비틀림 혼합날개 끝이 향하는 벽면에서 온도가 가장 낮게 나타났다. 축방향 온도 분포의 경우, 지지격자 하류 근처에서 온도가 급격하게 감소하는 것으로 측정되었고, 비틀림 혼합날개에 의해 누셀트 수는 최대 56 % 증대되는 것으로 나타났다. 본 실험결과를 토대로 봉 간격이 좁은 이중냉각 환형핵연료 집합체에서 비틀림 혼합날개 지지격자에 의해 강제대류열 전달 성능이 효과적으로 증대될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Thermal mixing by steam jets in a pool is dominantly influenced by a turbulent water jet generated by the condensing steam jets, and the proper prediction of this turbulent jet behavior is critical for the pool mixing analysis. A turbulent jet flow induced by a steam jet discharged through a vertical upward single hole into a subcooled water pool was subjected to computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis. Based on the small-scale test data derived under a horizontal steam discharging condition, this analysis was performed to validate a CFD method of analysis previously developed for condensing jet-induced pool mixing phenomena. In previous validation work, the CFD results and the test data for a limited range of radial and axial directions were compared in terms of profiles of the turbulent jet velocity and temperature. Furthermore, the behavior of the turbulent jet induced by the steam jet through a horizontal single hole in a subcooled water pool failed to show the exact axisymmetric flow pattern with regards to an overall pool mixing, whereas the CFD analysis was done with an axisymmetric grid model. Therefore, another new small-scale test was conducted under a vertical upward steam discharging condition. The purpose of this test was to generate the velocity and temperature profiles of the turbulent jet by expanding the measurement ranges from the jet center to a location at about 5% of $U_m$ and 10 cm to 30 cm from the exit of the discharge nozzle. The results of the new CFD analysis show that the recommended CFD model of the high turbulent intensity of 40% for the turbulent jet and the fine mesh grid model can accurately predict the test results within an error rate of about 10%. In this work, the turbulent jet model, which is used to simply predict the temperature and velocity profiles along the axial and radial directions by means of the empirical correlations and Tollmien's theory was improved on the basis of the new test data. The results validate the CFD model of analysis. Furthermore, the turbulent jet model developed in this study can be used to analyze pool thermal mixing when an ellipsoidal steam jet is discharged under a high steam mass flux in a subcooled water pool.

Multi-hole type oxygen combustion burner was developed for industrial gasification and smelting furnace. We investigated characteristics of flame, radiation transfer, and soot emission in the convectional oxygen burner with respect to the feeding condition of fuel and oxygen. Regarding the results of the conventional burner, we designed new burners which have larger fuel consumption rate and radiation heat transfer. We changed the size and hole number and shape of the exit plane of the burner. In addition, the performance of the burner was tested with respect to the feeding condition of the fuel and air: Normal Diffusion flame(NDF) and Inverse Diffusion Flame(IDF). We investigated the flame configuration, radiation heat transfer, and soot formation by using a CCD camera, heat flux meter, and Laser Induced Incadescence(LII), respectively. The stable operating condition was obtained by the flame configuration and the flame of the burner which has dented exit plane was more stable in whole operating conditions. The characteristics of radiative heat transfer were sensitive to the feeding condition of reactants and the flame of 75% primary oxygen and 25% secondary oxygen of the IDF case shows maximum radiation heat transfer. The soot volume fraction of the flame was measured in the axial direction of the flame and the amount of soot volume fraction is proportion to the radiation heat transfer. As a result, we can get the optimal operating condition of the newly designed burner which enhances the characteristics of flame stabilization and radiation heat transfer.

자동차 디스크 브레이크시스템에서는 열유속 및 열변형 등과 같은 이유로 마찰열이 균일하게 분산되지 않는다. 마찰열에 의한 열탄성 변형이 접촉압력 분포에 영향을 미치게 되고, 접촉하중이 디스크 브레이크 표면상의 작은 영역에 집중되어 열탄성 불안정성을 초래 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 실험적 계산식과 Kao 제안한 디스크와 패드의 접촉압력에 대한 해석방법을 참고로 하여 3차원 축대칭 모델을 통하여 실제로 제동 시 발생되는 디스크와 패드의 접촉을 고려한 온도해석 및 열변형 해석을 하였다. ANSYS를 사용하여 디스크와 패드의 접촉면에서 발생하는 열탄성 불안전성 문제를 열하중과 기계적 하중으로 동시에 고려하여 해석하였다. 디스크와 패드가 직접 접촉하는 3차원 축대칭 모델을 구성하여 디스크의 마찰면 온도, 열변형, 접촉 열응력을 관찰함으로써 디스크에서 일어나는 열적 거동을 보다 정확하게 관찰하였다.

연료링의 위치 및 열차폐 코팅의 종류에 따른 연소기의 재생냉각 특성을 검토하였다. 연료링을 노즐의 중간 부분에 위치시키고 냉각채널을 분기시켜서 설계하는 방법이 열적으로 타당함을 확인하였다. 또한 복합재를 이용한 노즐확장부가 적용 가능한 기술적 상황이라면, 팽창비가 높고 열유속이 낮은 노즐 후류 부분은 이를 이용하는 것이 매우 적절하다고 판단된다. 적용 가능한 열차폐 코팅 중에서 30톤급 연소기 및 가스발생기 개발과정에서 사용했던 $Y_2O_3$ stabilized $ZrO_2$과 내산화성이 우수한 Ni/Cr을 고려하였다. 내산화성이 우수한 Ni/Cr에 비해 세라믹 코팅($Y_2O_3$ stabilized $ZrO_2$)이 열차폐 효과가 우수한 것으로 파악되었다.

We design a crisscrossed double-layer birdcage (DLBC) coil by modifying the coil geometry of a standard single-layer BC (SLBC) coil to enhance the homogeneity of transmitting magnetic flux density ($B_1{^+}$) along the main magnetic field ($B_0$)-direction for small-animal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at 300 MHz. The performance assessment of the crisscrossed DLBC coil is conducted by computational analysis with the finite-difference time domain method (FDTD) and compared with SLBC coil in terms of the $B_1$ and the $B_1{^+}$ distribution. As per the computational calculation studies, the mean value in the two-dimensional $B_1{^+}$ map obtained at the mid-axial slice with the proposed DLBC coil is slightly lower than that obtained with the SLBC coil, but the $B_1{^+}$ value of the DLBC coil in the outermost plane (40 mm away from the central plane) shows improvements of 19.3% and 24.8% over the SLBC coil $B_1{^+}$ value when simulating a spherical phantom and realistic mouse body modeling. These simulation results indicate that, the $B_1{^+}$ homogeneity along the z-direction was improved by using DLBC configuration. Our approach enables $B_1{^+}$ homogeneity improvement along the zdirection, and it can also be applied to ultra-high field (UHF) MRI systems.

This study presents an initial design for a novel system consisting in a coupled nuclear reactor and a phase change material-based thermal energy storage (TES) component, which acts as a buffer and regulator of heat transfer between the primary and secondary loops. The goal of this concept is to enhance the capacity factor of nuclear power plants (NPPs) in the case of high integration of renewable energy sources into the electric grid. Hence, this system could support in elevating the economics of NPPs in current competitive markets, especially with subsidized solar and wind energy sources, and relatively low oil and gas prices. Furthermore, utilizing a prismatic-core advanced high temperature reactor (PAHTR) cooled by a molten salt with a high melting point, have the potential in increasing the system efficiency due to its high operating temperature, and providing the baseline requirements for coupling other process heat applications. The present research studies the neutronics and thermal hydraulics (TH) of the PAHTR as well as TH calculations for the TES which consists of 300 blocks with a total heat storage capacity of 150 MWd. SERPENT Monte Carlo and MCNP5 codes carried out the neutronics analysis of the PAHTR which is sized to have a 5-year refueling cycle and rated power of 300 MW_th. The PAHTR has 10 metric tons of heavy metal with 19.75 wt% enriched UO₂ TRISO fuel, a hot clean excess reactivity and shutdown margin of $33.70 and -$115.68; respectively, negative temperature feedback coefficients, and an axial flux peaking factor of 1.68. Star-CCM + code predicted the correct convective heat transfer coefficient variations for both the reactor and the storage. TH analysis results show that the flow in the primary loop (in the reactor and TES) remains in the developing mixed convection regime while it reaches a fully developed flow in the secondary loop.

강자성 배관의 대표적인 비파괴검사 방법으로 접촉방식인 초음파탐상(UT)과 비접촉식 검사인 누설자속탐상(MFL), 전자기초음파탐상(EMAT), 원격장 와전류탐상(RFECT) 기법 등이 있다. 특히 원격장 와전류(RFECT) 기법은 배관의 직경보다 작은 시스템 구축 등의 장점이 있다. 이런 장점에도 불구하고 array system을 구성할 경우 coil sensor 각각의 민감도 차이와 유지 보수 등의 문제가 있다. 이런 문제점을 해결하기 위해 크기가 작고 교체성이 우수하며 같은 민감도를 갖는 GMR sensor(giant magneto-resistance)를 적용하였다. 본 연구는 강자성 배관에 GMR sensor의 축 및 반경 방향의 원격장 및 깊이 변화를 가진 표준결함 실험을 통해 원격장 및 결함신호 특성을 확인하였고 강자성 배관에 원격장 와전류를 이용한 GMR sensor의 적용 가능성을 확인하였다.
