Three-dimensional natural convective heat transfer in a vertical channel with a protruding single module was investigated experimentally. The particular interest was in the removal of thermal energy from the module by convective heat transfer. Hence radiative and conductive heat losses were estimated by using thermocouples and heat flux sensor respectively. The flow fields in the channel were visualized by means of a smoke-method. Also, local temperatures were measured by thermocouples inside the channel, along the vertical wall and module surface. It is found that convective heat transfer was promoted at the lower comer of the module and was decreased at the upper comer due to a recirculation zone. A general correlation of the critical channel ratios was found as a function of Rayleigh number. For the range of $8.28{\times}10^3<Ra^*_c<3.48{\times}10^6$, a useful correlation for the mean Nusselt number was proposed as a function of modified channel Rayleigh number.

HfOx (Hafnium oxide)는 ~25의 고유전상수, 5.25 eV의 비교적 높은 Band-gap을 갖는 물질로 MOSFET (metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect-transistor) 구조의 Oxide 박막을 대체 가능한 물질로 연구가 지속되고 있다. 현재까지 진행된 대다수의 연구는 증착 조건에 따른 박막의 결정학적 및 전기적 특성에 대한 주제로 진행되었고 다양한 연구 결과가 보고된바 있다. 하지만 기존의 연구 기법은 박막의 nanomechanics 특성에 대한 연구가 부족하여 이를 보완하기 위한 연구가 절실하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 HfOx 박막 내 포함된 산소가 고온 열처리 과정에서 빠져나감으로 인한 박막의 nanomechanics 특성을 확인하고자 하였다. 시료는 rf magnetron sputter를 이용하여Si (silicon) 기판위에 Hafnium target으로 산소유량(5, 10, 15 sccm)을 달리하여 증착하였고, 이후 furnace에서 $400^{\circ}C$에서 $1,000^{\circ}C$까지 질소분위기에서 20분간 열처리를 실시하였다. 실험결과 시료의 전기적 특성을 I-V 곡선을 측정하여 확인하였고, 증착 시 산소 유량이 5 sccm에서 15 sccm으로 증가함에 따라서 누설전류 특성은 급격히 향상되었고, 열처리 온도가 증가함에 따라 감소하는 특성을 나타내었다. 또한 시료의 nanomechanics 특성을 확인하기 위하여 nano-indenter를 이용하여 시료의 표면강도(surface hardness)와 탄성계수(elastic modulus)를 확인하였다. 측정결과 5 sccm 시료의 표면강도와 탄성계수는 상온에서 열처리 온도가 증가함에 따라 각각 7.75 GPa에서 9.19 GPa로, 그리고 133.83 GPa에서 126.64 GPa로 10, 15 sccm의 박막의 비하여 상대적으로 균일한 특성을 나타내었다. 이는 증착 시 박막 내 과포화된 산소가 열처리 과정에서 빠져나감으로 인한 것이며, 또한 과포화된 정도에 따라 더 적은 열처리 에너지에 의하여 박막을 빠져나감으로 인한 것으로 판단된다. 또한 열처리 과정에서 산소가 빠져나가는 상대적인 flux의 영향으로 인하여 박막의 mechanical한 균일도의 변화가 나타났다.

In this study, we assumed the kitchen fire raising the highest fire rate in apt. and analyzed the fire risk to use CFD in order to estimate the problem of evacuation equipment and the fire vulnerability of 16 or fewer storey apartment. Fire occurring in the kitchen is expended to the livingroom and other rooms. We analyzed that the temperature effected by heat was more than $60^{\circ}C$ after 90 sec in the entrance of apartment unit. If fire is early recognized by men and men don't escape in time, it have too huge demage to block the exit. When the evacuation equipment suggested in this study was installed in order to solve the problem of evacuation equipment, we analyzed that it was estimated more than safe in safety evaluation by heat and heat flux.

Characteristics of dissimilar metal welds between alloy steel ASTM A387 Gr. 91 and carbon steel ASTM A516 Gr.70 made with Flux cored arc welding(FCAW) have been evaluated in terms of microstructure, mechanical strength, chemical analysis by EDS as well as corrosion test. Three heat inputs of 15.0, 22.5, 30.0kJ/cm were employed to make joints of dissimilar metals with E71T-1C wire. Post-weld heat treatment was carried out at $750^{\circ}C$ for 2.5 h. Based on microstructural examination, Intragranular polygonal ferrite and grainboundary ferrite were formed only in first layer of weld metal. Another layers consisted of acicular ferrite and $Widmannst{\ddot{a}}tten$ ferrite. The amount of acicular ferrite was increased with decreasing heat input and layer. Heat affected zone of alloy steel showed the highest hardness due to the formation of tempered martensite and lower bainite. Lower and upper bainite were formed in heat affected zone of carbon steel. Tensile strengths of dissimilar metal welds decreased with increasing heat inputs. Dissimilar metal welds showed a good hot cracking resistance due to the low HCS index below 4. The salt spray test of dissimilar metals welds showed that the weight loss rate by corrosion below 170 hours was decreased with increasing heat inputs due to the increase of the amount of acicular ferrite.

There are probabilistic forecast models for solar flare occurrence, which can be evaluated by various skill scores (e.g. accuracy, critical success index, heidek skill score, and true skill score). Since these skill scores assume that two types of forecast errors (i.e. false alarm and miss) are equal or constant, which does not take into account different situations of users, they may be unrealistic. In this study, we make an evaluation of a probabilistic flare forecast model [Lee et al., 2012] which use sunspot groups and its area changes as a proxy of flux emergence. We calculate daily solar flare probabilities from 2011 to 2014 using this model. The skill scores are computed through contingency tables as a function of forecast probability, which corresponds to the maximum skill score depending on flare class and type of a skill score. We use a value score with cost/loss ratio, relative importance between the two types of forecast errors. The forecast probability (y) is linearly changed with the cost/loss ratio (x) in the form of y=ax+b: a=0.88; b=0 (C), a=1.2; b=-0.05(M), a=1.29; b=-0.02(X). We find that the forecast model has an effective range of cost/loss ratio for each class flare: 0.536-0.853(C), 0.147-0.334(M), and 0.023-0.072(X). We expect that this study would provide a guideline to determine the probability threshold and the cost/loss ratio for space weather forecast.

GSH 006-15+7 is a Milky Way supershell discovered by Moss et al. (2012). This supershell shows large shell-like structures in H I velocity maps. We have analyzed FUV emission for the supershell regions based on the FIMS and GALEX observations. Bright FUV flux at the boundaries of the supershell is mostly originated from dust scattering of FUV photons by dust clouds which was also observed at the boundaries of the supershell. We could find the distance to the supershell can be closer more than 30% compared with the distance of 1500 pc suggested by Moss et al. (2012) from the dust scattering simulation. And we also found the albedo and the phase function asymmetry factor of interstellar grains were 0.30 and 0.40, respectively. The confidence range for the albedo covers the theoretical value of 0.40, but g-factor is rather smaller than the theoretical value of 0.65. The small g-factor might mean the environment of turbulent ISM of the supershell. Meanwhile, the excess of C IV and X-ray emissions in the inside of the supershell can support the existence of hot gas and cooling in the supershell. And the C IV and X-ray emissions are monotonically decrease as away from the center of the SNR. This indicates the size of the hot bubble has considerably shrunk. We applied a simple simulation model to the PDR candidate region of the lower part of the supershell and obtained a H2 column density N(H2) = 1017.0-18.0 cm-2 and total hydrogen density nH ${\geq}$ 10 cm-3. This result shows the PDR candidate region represents a transition region from the warm phase to the cool phase in the PDR.

The drag and heat transfer reduction phenomena and degradation effects of drag reducing polymer solutions which are known as the viscoelastic fluids are investigated experimentally for the turbulent circular tube flows. Two stainless steel tubes are used for the experimental flow loops. Aqueous solutions of Polyacrylamide Separan AP-273 with concentrations from 300 to 1000 wppm are used as working fluids. Flow loops are set up to measure the friction factors and heat transfer coefficients of test tubes in the once-through system and the recirculating flow system. Test tubes are heated by power supply directly to apply constant heat flux boundary conditions on the wall. Capillary tube viscometer and falling ball viscometer are used to measure the viscous characteristics of fluids and the characteristic relaxation time of a fluid is determined by the Powell-Eyring model. The order of magnidude of the thermal entrance length of a drag reducing polymer solution is close to the order of magnitude of the laminar entrance length of Newtonian fluids. Dimensionless heat transfer coefficients of the viscoelastic non-Newtonian fluids may be represented as a function of flow behavior index n and newly defined viscoelastic Graetz number. As degradation continues viscosity and the characteristic relaxation time of the testing fluids decrease and heat transfer coefficients increase. The characteristic relaxation time is used to define the Weissenberg number and variations of friction factors and heat transfer coefficients due to degradation are presented in terms of the Weissenberg number.

In this study, we report on an investigation of proton radiation resistance of 410 martensitic stainless steels under 3 MeV proton with the doses ranging from $1.0{\times}10^{15}$ to $1.0{\times}10^{17}p/cm^2$ at the temperature 623 K. Vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and X-ray diffractometer (XRD) were used to study the variation of magnetic properties and structural damages by virtue of proton irradiation, respectively. VSM and XRD analysis revealed that the 410 martensitic stainless steels showed proton radiation resistance up to $10^{17}p/cm^2$. Proton energy degradation and flux attenuations in 410 stainless steels as a function of penetration depth were calculated by using Stopping and Range of Ions in Matter (SRIM) code. It suggested that the 410 stainless steels have the radiation resistance up to $5.2{\times}10^{-3}$ dpa which corresponds to neutron irradiation of $3.5{\times}10^{18}n/cm^2$. These results could be used to predict the maintenance period of SUS410 stainless steels in fission power plants.

Sulfonated poly(ether sulfone)(SPES) of various ion exchange capacity (IEC) was prepared by heterogeneous sulfonation with chlorosulfonic acid (CSA) to make hydrophilic ultrafiltration membrane for reducing fouling. The effects of CSA concentration, reaction temperature and reaction time has been investigated. The reaction was effective when the temperature is above 10$\circ$C and the CSA concentration is over 0.05 mol, although polymer chain has been significantly degraded. The substitution of sulfonic acid groups was characterized by FTIR and $^1$H-NMR. Transport properties and fouling test have been conducted to the modified SPES ultrafiltration rnembranrs by heterogeneors method. Membranes were obtained using DCM and PVP as a non-solvent and pore forming agent, respectively. Flux reduced and rejection increased with ion exchange capacity. Finger-like structure was disappeared and the thickness of top layer was increased. Dense membrane by non-solvent DCM and porous membrane by pore forming agent PVP was prepared. Fouling was reduced with increasing ion exchange capacity because of hydrophilicity.

No investigation has yet been accomplished to screen the boron-doped effects on vanadium based metal membranes. The synthesis, hydrogen permeation properties and chemical stability of a novel Pd-coated $V_{99.8}B_{0.2}$ alloy membrane are presented in this report. Hydrogen permeation experiments have been performed to investigate the hydrogen transport properties through the Pd-coated $V_{99.8}B_{0.2}$ alloy membrane in the absolute pressure range 1.0~3.0 bar under pure hydrogen, hydrogen-carbon dioxide gas mixture at $400^{\circ}C$. The maximum hydrogen permeation flux was $48.5mL/min/cm^2$ for a 0.5 mm thick membrane under pure hydrogen. This results offer new direction in the synthesis of novel non-Palladium-based metal membranes for hydrogen separation in water-gas shift reaction.
