This paper describes a methodology for determination of representative CANDU feeder geometry and the pressure drops between inlet/outlet header and fuel channel in the primary loop. A code, MEDOC, was developed based on this methodology and helps perform a calculation of equivalent feeder geometry for a selected channel group on the basis of feeder geometry data (fluid volume, mass flow rate, loss factor) and given property data pressure, quality, density) at inlet/outlet header. The equivalent feeder geometry calculated based on this methodology will be useful fur the transient thermohydraulic analysis of the primary heat transport system for the CANDU heavy water-cooled pressure tube reactor.

The error performance of BPSK and QPSK signals with diversity reception in mobile-satellite channel is investigated considering nonlinearity of TWT (Traveling Wave Tube) amplifier in the presence of AWGN(Additive White Gaussian Noise) on the uplink and downlink paths. It is assumed that the fading on the dounlink path forms a Rician distribution. The Rician distribution is approximated by discrete probability values. The values are firstly found by Classical Moment Technique.

A finite element method is applied to investigate the characteristics of the fluid flow and heat transfer performance in a channel in terms of the various effects of baffle cuts, baffle angles, and leakages. The results show that the decrease of a baffle cut gives a good heat transfer enhancement. However, it also increases pressure drop. In the case of an inclined baffle, the result shows that the pressure drop decreases with a reasonable heat transfer performance. But a steeply inclined baffle gives adverse effects on the performance of the channel. The clearances between baffle-to-shell and tube-to-baffle affect the overall performance. The effects of these parameters are discussed in details.

The error performance of BPSK and QPSK signals in mobile satellite channel is investigated considering nonlinearity of TWTA (Traveling Wave Tube Amplifier) in the presence of AWGN(Additive White Gaussian Noise) on the uplink and downlink paths. It is assumed that the fading on the downlink path forms a Rician distribution. The Rician distribution is approximated by discrete probability values. The values are firstly found by Classical Moment Technique. Finally, the error probability is evaluated using approximate discrete values of Rician distribution and the Gaussian Quadrature Formula.

Regionally averaged heat transfer distributions and friction factors in square channels with twisted tape inserts and with twisted tape inserts plus interrupted ribs are experimentally investigated. The effects of surface heating condition on heat transfer enhancement are also investigated. Each wall of the square channel is composed of isolated aluminum plates. The interrupted square ribs are arranged along the axial flow direction on the bottom wall only. Experimental tests are performed for Reynolds numbers ranging from 8,900 to 29,000. The results are compared with those of previous investigations for circular tube with axial interrupted ribs and twisted tape inserts.

With traditional experimental methods such as the secondary fluid (e.g., water) calorimetric method, it is very difficult to accurately test the local condensation heat transfer inside mini-channels. Hence, there are large discrepancies between the results of previous studies. The experimental methods as well as unidentified sources of uncertainties could be reasons for such discrepancies. In this study, innovative experimental techniques were developed to measure the in-tube condensation heat transfer coefficient. With these techniques, very low heat dissipation rates such as several watts from the mini-channel could be estimated and low mass flow rates below the 0.1 ㎏/h could be measured with reasonable uncertainties. To the authors' knowledge, these techniques provide a unique experimental apparatus for measuring the condensation heat transfer coefficients inside the sub-millimeter hydraulic diameter single channels.

Semi-two dimension numerical models were applied to study on the hydraulic and sedimentologic characteristics of upstream and downstream channel section in Dal stream. The feature of this paper is (1) to analyse the effects of bed changes by sediment transport formulas, (2) to analyse the effects of bed changes by stream tube. The simulation results of Meyer-peter and Muller formula for long-term bed changes are good when compared to the measured data.

A tiny dust found at the balcony of the Institute indicated about 8,0000 counts per minute by T.G.C.-2 Geiger-Muller tube (1.8mg/$cm^2$ window-thickness) at the distance of 2cm from the window. The main fission fragments, as identified by the present analysis, are 12.5day Ba-140 and 33.1 day Ce-141. The gamma energies were determined using $2"{\times}2"$ NaI(Tl) scintillation detector connected to RCL-256 channel pulse heigt analyzer. The beta energies were evaluated by Feather plot.

Liquid Injection Nozzle(LIN) tube and Calandria tube(CT) in pressurized Heavy Water Reactor (PHWR) are .ross-aligned horizontally. These neighboring tubes can contact each other due to the sag of the calandria tube resulting from the irradiation creep and thermal creep, and fuel load, etc. In order to judge the contact which might be the safety concern, the remote field eddy current (RFEC) technology is applied for the gap measurement in this paper. LIN can be detected by inserting the RFEC probe into pressure tube (PT) at the crossing point directly. To obtain the optimal conditions of the RFEC inspection, the sensitivity, penetration and noise signals are considered simultaneously. The optimal frequency and coil spacing are 1kHz and 200mm respectively. Possible noises during LIN signal acquisition are caused by lift-off, PT thickness variation, and gap variation between PT and CT. The simulated noise signals were investigated by the Volume Integral Method(VIM). Signal analysis on the voltage plane describes the amplitude and shape of LIN and possible defects at several frequencies. All the RFEC measurements in the laboratory were done in variance with the CT/LIN gap and showed the relationship between the LIN gap and the signal parameters by analyzing the voltage plane signals.
