Direct Containment Heating, DCH, is supposed to occur during a core melt-down accident if the primary system pressure is still high at the time of vessel breach in a Nuclear Power Plant (NPP). In this case, DCH is considered to be one of very important severe phenomena during postulated severe accident scenario because of the fast heat transfer rate to atmosphere and the sharp pressure increase in a containment. To reduce the effect of this DCH phenomena, the capture volume wes designed at Ulchin NPP units 3 and 4. But, the effect of this has not been studied extensively. This work consists of experimental and numerical analyses of the effects of capture volume in the cavity on DCH phenomena. The experimental model is a 1/30 scaled-down model of Ulchin NPP units 3 and 4. We used three types of capture volumes to investigate the effect of size. Numerical analysis using CONTAIN 1.2 is performed with the correlation for the dispersed fraction of molten corium from the cavity into the containment derived from the experimental data to examine the effect of capture volume on DCH phenomena in full scale of Ulchin NPP units 3 and 4.

주방환기의 계획에 있어서 조리시 발생하는 오염물질을 적절히 배기시키는 것이 가장 중요하다. 기구의 배치와 발열량을 평가하고 후드의 위치와 종류 그리고 덕트직경과 경로를 결정하며 적정한 풍량을 제거하기 위한 배기팬을 선정한다. 그러나 일반적인 실내 공기밸런스 계획을 시행함에도 불구하고 배기된 체적에 해당하는 풍량을 보충 공급하는 방식에 대한 고려는 현재 상대적으로 부족한 상태이다.
