To keep the superconducting (SC) magnet coils of KSTAR at proper operating conditions, not only the coils but also other cold components, such as thermal shields (TS), magnet structures, SC bus-lines (BL), and current leads (CL) must be maintained at their respective cryogenic temperatures. A helium refrigeration system (RRS) with an exergetic equivalent cooling power of 9 kW at 4.5 K without liquid nitrogen ($LN_2$) pre-cooling has been manufactured and installed. The main components of the KST AR helium refrigeration system (HRS) can be classified into the warm compression system (WCS) and the cryogenic devices according to the operating temperature levels. The process helium is compressed from 1 bar to 22 bar passing through the WCS and is supplied to cryogenic devices. The main components of cryogenic devices are consist of cold box (C/B) and distribution box (D/B). The C/B cool-down and make the various cryogenic helium for the KSTAR Tokamak and the various cryogenic helium is distributed by the D/B as per the KSTAR requirement. In this proceeding, we will present the commissioning results of the KSTAR HRS. Circuits which can simulate the thermal loads and pressure drops corresponding to the cooling channels of each cold component of KSTAR have been integrated into the helium distribution system of the HRS. Using those circuits, the performance and the capability of the HRS, to fulfill the mission of establishing the appropriate operating condition for the KSTAR SC magnet coils, have been successfully demonstrated.

In the present study, the effect of initial microstructure, cold reduction ratio, and annealing temperature on the spherodization rate of SK85 high carbon steel sheet was investigated. High carbon steel sheet fabricated by POSCO was soaked at $800^{\circ}C$ for 2 hr in a box furnace and then treated at $570^{\circ}C$ for 5 min in a salt bath furnace followed by water quenching to obtain a fine pearlite structure. Cold rolling was conducted on the sheets of fine pearlite by reduction ratios of 20, 30, and 40% and heat treatment for spheroidization was carried out at 600 and $720^{\circ}C$ for the various time intervals from 0.1 to 32 hrs. Area fraction of spheroidized cementite was measured with an image analyzer as a function of cold reduction ratios and duration times.

Stainless steel is used in automobile muffler and exhaust systems. However, in comparison with other steels it has a high thermal expansion rate and low thermal conductivity, and undergoes excessive thermal deformation after welding. To address this problem, we evaluated the use of arc brazing in place of welding for the processing of an exhaust system, and investigated the parameters that affect the joint characteristics. Muffler parts STS439 and hot-dipped Al coated steel were used as test specimens, and CuAl brazing wire was used as the filler metal for the cold metal transfer (CMT) welding machine, which is a low heat input arc welder. In addition, a Box-Behnken design of experiment was used, which is a response surface methodology. The main process parameters (current, speed, and torch angle) were used to determine the appropriate welding quality and the mechanical properties of the brazing part was evaluated at the optimal welding condition. The optimal processing condition for arc brazing was 135A current, 51cm/min speed and $74^{\circ}$ torch angle. The process was applied to an actual exhaust system muffler and the prototype was validated by thermal fatigue, thermal shock, and endurance limit tests.

극한지 동결 지반에서 구조물의 설계 및 시공이 진행됨에 따라, 안정성 평가를 위해 동결토의 강도 특성에 대한 실험적 연구가 필수적이다. 본 연구의 목적은 전단 상자 시스템에 따른 동결토의 강도를 평가하는 것으로, 이를 위하여 보편적으로 사용되는 기존 직접전단 시스템(Type-1), 상부 전단 상자 위쪽에 롤러를 설치한 시스템(Type-2), 그리고 상부 전단 상자를 하부 전단 상자와 분리되도록 기둥으로 고정한 시스템(Type-3)을 제작하였다. 모든 시스템에는 모래, 실트, 그리고 증류수를 동일한 비율로 혼합한 시료를 이용하여 조성하였으며, 냉동 챔버 내에서 $-5^{\circ}C$까지 동결된 후 연직 응력 5, 10, 25 그리고 50kPa을 가하며 직접전단실험을 수행하였다. 실험 결과, Type-1은 전단 이동에 따라 상부 전단 상자가 회전(rotation)하여 하부 전단 상자와 접촉하는 문제가 발생했다. 상부 전단 상자의 회전을 롤러로 방지한 Type-2의 경우, 회전을 막는 힘이 전단강도에 추가되어 강도가 과대 평가되었다. Type-3의 경우, 동결 시료만의 전단강도가 평가되었으며, 최대전단강도 발현 시점과 수직변위가 증가하기 시작하는 시점이 유사하게 나타났다. 또한, Type-3의 최대전단강도와 잔류전단강도의 내부마찰각과 점착력은 롤러의 영향이 제거되어 Type-2보다 작게 나타났다. 본 연구는 동결토와 같이 강도가 큰 시료의 경우 Type-3과 같이 개선된 전단 상자 시스템을 이용하여 동결토만의 강도를 평가할 수 있음을 보여준다.

본 연구에서는 저온물류 시스템의 단열용기의 온도유지 성능에 대하여 5℃급 저온 LHM을 배치하였을 때 배치구성 조건에 따른 온도특성을 확인하였다. LHM을 단열용기 내부에 배치하였을 때 6면과 5면에 상/하부 배치 비중에 차이를 두고 외기부하에 따른 내부 공기 온도균일도 및 목표 온도 유지시간을 분석하였다. 단열용기 내부 공기는 상부의 상승온도와 이때 발생하는 밀도차에 의한 공기 대류현상이 온도 성층화를 발생시키고, 균일도를 확보하기 위해 LHM의 상부 배치 비중이 하부보다 컸을 때 균일성이 높고 유지 시간이 오래 지속되는 것을 확인하였다. 다만, 상부 배치 비중을 높이기 위해 하부 배치를 제외한 조건에서 높은 균일성을 보이지만 짧은 유지 시간으로 보여 적정조건으로 알맞지 않다. 결과적으로 단열용기의 단열재 대칭구성과 LHM의 동일한 중량을 배치하여 보냉용기를 제작할 경우, LHM의 전면 배치를 바탕으로 하부에 비해 상부 배치 비중을 늘렸을 때 내부 공기 온도의 분포 균일도와 유지시간 성능을 높이는데 효율적인 방안이라고 판단된다. 저온물류 보냉용기 성능분석에 있어, 본 연구를 기반으로 다른 조건의 상변화 온도와 잠열량을 갖는 다양한 저온영역대의 LHM을 적용한 수치해석을 수행하여 성능 예측 결과를 확보할 수 있고 온도 균일도를 위한 단열 및 잠열 복합 구성 이송 용기의 최적 설계조건 수립에 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

A real-time HVAC system is proposed which implements real-time control of thermal environment for virtual reality. It consists of a pair of hot and cold loops that serve as thermal reservoirs, and a mixing box to mix hot and cold air streams flowing if from loops. Their flow rates are controlled in real-time to meet a set temperature and flow rate. A cascade control algorithm along with gain scheduling is applied to the system and test results shows that the closed-loop response approached set values within 3 to 4 seconds.

In the past, many efficient profiles have been developed for cold-formed steel (CFS) members by judicious intermediate stiffening of the cross-sections, and they have shown improved structural performance over conventional CFS sections. Most of this research work was based on numerical modelling, thus lacking any experimental evidence of the efficiency of these sections. To fulfill this requirement, experimental studies were conducted in this study, on efficient intermediately stiffened CFS sections in flexure, which will result in easy and simple fabrication. Two series of built-up sections, open sections (OS) and box sections (BS), were fabricated and tested under four-point loading with same cross-sectional area. Test strengths, modes of failure, deformed shapes, load vs. mid-span displacements and geometric imperfections were measured and reported. The design strengths were quantified using North American Standards and Indian Standards for cold-formed steel structures. This study confirmed that efficient profiling of CFS sections can improve both the strength and stiffness performance by up to 90%. Closed sections showed better strength performance whereas open sections showed better stiffness performance.

The outer race of CV(constant velocity) joint is an important load-supporting automotive part, which transmits torque between the transmission gear box and driving wheel. The outer race is difficult to forge because its shape is very complicated and the required dimensional tolerances are very small. Traditional warm and cold forging methods have their own limitations to produce such a complex shaped part; warm forging requires complex system with relatively higher manufacturing cost, while cold forging is not applicable to materials with limited formability. Therefore, multistage forging may be advantageous to produce complex shaped parts. In order to build a multistage forging system, it is necessary to characterize mechanical properties in response to system design parameters such as temperature, forging speed and reduction. For the analysis of formability of multistage forging process, finite element method(FEM) has been used for the process analysis. As a model case, a constant velocity (CV) joint forging process is analyzed by FEM, since CV joint has a complex shape and also its required dimensional tolerances are very tight. The data acquired by FEM is compared with operational forging data obtained from an industrial production line. Based on this comparative analysis, multistage forging process for CV joints is proposed.

For the purpose of manufacturing water-resistant corrugated board boxes for agricultural products in the cold chain system, the effects of fiber types, wet strength agents and a moisture-proof chemical on the properties of the base papers were investigated first. PAE(polyamide amine epichlorohydrin) showed better performance than MF(melamine formalde-hyde) over broad stock pH ranges, which was prefered as wet strength agent for the paper grade. When short fibers(AOCC, KOCC) were mixed with long fiber(UKP) in certain ratios, some physical properties of the paper made with mixed fibers were similar to those of the paper made with UKP only. Paper containing AOCC showed the biggest increase in water resistance when PAE was added to the stock. Synergistic effects in moisture-proof and some mechanical properties of paper were appeared when PAR was added internally, together with the coating of a moisture proof chemical on the sheets.
