Internal defects of thin pressure vessel used in the power plants or the chemical plants may be created and grow due to corrosion or creep fatigue to reduce the strength and cause critical failure during operation. Therefore it is very important to detect this defect at the early stage. For this purpose, non-destructive, non-contact and highly sensitive method should be considered for on-line application. In this paper, a laser shearographic interferometer is applied to inspect circular defects and notch defects existed inside of thin pressure vessel under the presence of pressure up to 3 times of atmospheric pressure. The influences of the defect shape and size as well as the internal pressure to the characteristic pattern in the shearography fringe are investigated, and the quantitative evaluation of the defect size is tried. Also the experimental results are compared with the destructive test results to show the applicability of this method to the quantitative evaluation of internal defects in the thin pressure vessel.

본 연구는 vessel blowdown 시 발생하는 온도와 압력 변화를 보다 정확히 예측하기 위하여 기존에 개발된 dynamic model을 기반으로 새로운 모델을 개발하고, 개발한 모델의 정확도를 높이기 위하여 vessel 내부의 흐름이 층류일 때와 난류일 때를 모두 고려하여 vessel 벽면으로부터 기체로의 열 전달량을 계산하였다. 효율적인 열역학 계산을 위해 일체의 계산식은 압력이 감소하는 단계 별로 나누어 진행하였으며 계산의 부담을 덜어주면서 계산의 정확도를 유지하기 위한 압력변화 size를 결정하였다. 개발한 모델에 Peng-Robinson equation과 Soave-Redlich-Kwong equation을 적용하여 각각의 경우에 따른 결과의 차이를 비교하였다. 마지막으로 모델의 검증을 위해 Haque et al.의 실험조건을 동일하게 적용하여 실험 결과와 시뮬레이션 결과를 비교 하였으며, 이를 통해 모델의 정확도를 입증하였다.

There are two weak points in a high pressure vessel, one is a corner, the other is a crack on the base. In order to evaluate safety of a department of a corner and a crack like a starfish on the base in a high pressure vessel (working pressure: $130kg/cm^{2}$), which was made by Marison's Process, we analyzed stress by strain gauge, measured thickness and hardness by ultrasonic testing, and were able to test pressure by water pressure from nondestructive testing. Also destructive testings were applied to measure thickness and to observe microstructure and chemical composition of a corner on the base. From the results of the experiment, values of experiment were satisfied with a condition of application. But, it is considered that a crack on the base is to be investigated with more by Fracture Mechanics.

In this work, an integrated model including molecular dynamics and chemical rate theory was implemented to calculate the growth of point defect clusters(PDC) and copper-rich precipitates(CRP) which could change the mechanical properties of reactor pressure vessel(RPV) steels in a nuclear power plant. A number of time-dependent differential equations were established and numerically integrated to estimate the evolution of irradiation defects. The calculation showed that the concentration of the vacancies was higher than that of the self-interstitial atoms. The higher concentration of vacancies induced a formation of the CRPs in the later stage. The size of the CRPs was used to estimate the mechanical property changes in RPV steels, as is the same case with the PDCs. The calculation results were compared with the measured values of yield strength change and Charpy V-notch transition temperature shift, which were obtained from the surveillance test data of Korean light water reactors(LWRs). The estimated values were in fair agreement with the experimental results in spite of the uncertainty of the modeling parameters.

Quorum quenching (QQ) with a microbial vessel has recently been reported as an economically feasible biofouling control platform in a membrane bioreactor (MBR) for wastewater treatment. In this study, a quorum quenching MBR with a ceramic microbial vessel (CMV) was designed to overcome the extremely low F/M ratio inside a microbial vessel. The CMV was prepared with a monolithic ceramic microporous membrane and AHL-degrading QQ bacteria, Pseudomonas sp. 1A1. The "inner flow feeding mode" was introduced, under which fresh feed was supplied to the MBR only through the center lumen in the CMV. The inner flow feeding mode facilitated nutrient transport to QQ bacteria in the CMV and thus enabled relatively long-term maintenance of cell viability. The quorum quenching effect of the CMV on controlling membrane biofouling in the MBR was more pronounced with the inner flow feeding mode, which was identified by the slower increase in the transmembrane pressure as well as by the visual observation of a biocake that formed on the used membrane surface. In the QQ MBR with the CMV, the concentrations of extracellular polymeric substances were substantially decreased in the biocake on the membrane surface compared with those in the conventional MBR. The CMV also showed its potential with effective biofouling control over long-term operation of the QQ MBR.

Hematite iron ore and waste iron oxide sludge containing about 3-5 wt% $SiO_2$ were purified by three types of method developed on the basis of the Bayer process which is known as the purification process of bauxite ore. The basic principle of the developed methods lies in the fact that the impurities contained in the iron oxides, such as $SiO_2$ and $Al_2O_3$ are soluble in the alkaline reagents. Reaction of the raw materials with KOH was done in pressure vessel, at atmospheric pressure, and by both of these two. By the pressure vessel method $SiO_2$ content was reduced to below 0.5 wt% in the waste iron oxide sludge, while, in iron ore, $SiO_2$ remained at 2-3 wt%. The atmospheric pressure reaction rendered the waste iron oxide sludge $SiO_2$ content below 0.5wt% when the reaction temperature increased to above 90$0^{\circ}C$. The combined method of two previous methods was the most effective process and rendered the refined iron oxide about 300-400ppm of $SiO_2$. Using some refined iron oxides, Ba-ferrite was produced and magnetic properties were measured. The highest quality of magnetic properties obtained in this study were Br=2.09 G, bHc=1.99 KOe, iHc=4.54 KOe, $(BH)_{max}$=1.06 MGOe. Effect of sintering condition and chemical composition will be discussed.

휘발유는 온도 및 햇빛 노출 등의 저장환경에 따라 산화에 의해 유기산 및 중축합 고분자 물질(검질)이 생성되어 금속재료의 부식과 고무수지 등의 열화 및 연료공급 시스템의 축적물로 남아 차량 문제를 유발시킬 수 있다. 최근에 LPG와 휘발유 겸용 차량에서 장기간 사용하지 않은 휘발유가 차량문제를 유발하거나, 옥탄가가 비이상적으로 낮은 연료들이 출현하고 있지만 명확한 원인규명이 되지 않은 상황이다. 이에, 휘발유의 산화에 대한 명확한 규명을 통해 저장환경, 품질변화 추정 등 관리방안을 제시하고자 하였다. 휘발유의 산화특성 규명을 위해 현재 유통되고 있는 자동차용 휘발유와 향후 보급가능 바이오에탄올 혼합연료(바이오에탄올 10%)에 대해 저장용기(차량 연료탱크, 폴리에틸렌(PE) 재질 및 철재 용기) 별, 저장환경(햇빛 노출(옥상), 햇빛 비노출(창고)), 대기 중 공기노출 등에 대한 산화열화 영향을 산화가 일어나기 쉬운 여름철(6월~10월)에 18주간 저장평가하여 실제 품질기준 항목에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 폴리에틸렌(PE) 재질 용기의 경우 마개 틈 또는 표면으로의 고옥탄가 저비점 성분의 증발로 옥탄가의 품질기준이 벗어나는 경우가 있었다. 특히 햇빛 노출의 상태에서는 휘발유 산화와 저비점 성분의 증발로 옥탄가 및 증기압이 급격히 감소하였고, 검(gum)질도 과량 생성되었다. 바이오에탄올 혼합연료도 유사한 결과를 나타내었다.

Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxide의 분해폭발로 인한 폭발의 위험성을 평가하기 위하여 소형압력용기 시험기(MCPVT)를 사용하여 실험을 하였다. 그 결과 최대폭발 압력은 MEKPO와 MEKPO에 $98\%H_2SO_4$의 첨가량이 $1\%,\;3\%$ 및 $5\%$로 증가할 수록 증가하였으며, 최대폭발압력상승 속도도 증가하였다. 또한 분해개시 압력하에서의 온도는 $H_2SO_4$의 첨가량이 증가할수록 $168.16^{\circ}C,\;126.76^{\circ}C,\;91.21^{\circ}C$ 및 $81.25^{\circ}C$로 낮아졌다.

In this paper, high strength pressure vessel steels having the same chemical compositions were manufactured by the two different steel-making processes, such as vacuum degassing(VD) and electro-slag remelting(ESR) methods. After the steel-making process, they were normalized at $955^{\circ}C$, quenched at $843^{\circ}C$, and finally tempered at $550^{\circ}C$ or $450^{\circ}C$, resulting in tempered martensitic microstructures with different yielding strengths depending on the tempering conditions. Low-cycle fatigue(LCF) tests, fatigue crack growth rate(FCGR) tests, and fracture toughness tests were performed to investigate the fatigue and fracture behaviors of the pressure vessel steels. In contrast to very similar monotonic, LCF, and FCGR behaviors between VD and ESR steels, a quite difference was noticed in the fracture toughness. Fracture toughness of ESR steel was higher than that of VD steel, being attributed to the removal of impurities in steel-making process.

본 논문에서는 가압열충격의 파괴역학적 해석에 필요한 이론을 조사하였고 원자로용기의 구조건전성을 평가하기 위하여 해석과정을 전산화하였다. 우선 사고 transient에 대하여 원자로용기내의 압력과 주입되는 냉각재의 온도변화가 주어지면 이들로 부터 시간에 따른 용기에서의 온도와 응력분포를 구하고, 중성자 조사량과 용기 재질의 화학성분으로 부터 기준무연성천이온도의 분포가 구해지며 이로부터 파괴인성치 K/sub IA/와 K/sub IC/의 분포가 얻어진다. 또한 응력분포로 부터 균열의 크기 및 형상에 따라 응력확대계수 K/sub I/이 구해지므로 이를 K/sub IA/및 K/sub IC/와 비교함으로써 균열의 성장거동을 예측할 수 있다. 지금까지 보고된 가압열충격을 유발할 수 있는 대표적인 사고 transient가 국내 발전소에 발생할 경우를 가정하여 해석을 수행하였고 그 결과에 대하여 검토하였다.
