To investigate the moderator coolability for CANDU-6 reactors, a test facility (HU-KINS) has been manufactured as a 1/8 scaled-down of a calandria tank. In the design of the test facility, a scaling law was developed in such a way to consider the thermal-hydraulic characteristics of a CANDU-6 moderator. The proposed scaling law takes into consideration of the energy conservation, the dynamic similitude such as dimensionless numbers, Archimedes number (Ar) and Reynolds number (Re), and thermal-hydraulic properties similitude. Using this proposed scaling law, the thermal-hydraulic scaling analyses of similar test facilities such as the SPEL (1/10 scale) and the STERN (1/4 scale), have been identified. As a result, in the case of the SPEL, while the energy conservation is well defined, the similarities of Ar and the heat density are not well considered. As for the similarity of the STERN, while both the energy conservation and the characteristics of Ar are well defined, the heat density is not. In the meanwhile, the HU-KINS test facility with 1/8 length scaled-down is well similitude in compliance with all similarities of the energy conservation, the fluid dynamics and thermal-hydraulic properties. To verify the adequacy of the similarities in terms of thermal-hydraulics, a computational fluid dynamic (CFD) analysis has been conducted using the CFX-5 code. As the results of the CFD analyses, the predicted flow patterns and variation of axial properties inside the calandria tank are well consistant with those of previous studies performed with FLUENT and this implies that the present scaling method is acceptable.

The present study has been conducted to simulate dynamics of a gas engine-driven heat pump (GHP) for design of control algorithm. The dynamics modeling of a GHP was based on conservation laws of mass and energy. For automatic control of refrigerant pressures, actuators such as engine speed, outdoor fans, coolant three-way valves and liquid injection valves were PI or P controlled. The simulation results were found to be realistic enough to apply for control algorithm design. The model can be applied to build a virtual real-time GHP system so that it interfaces with a real controller in purpose of prototyping control algorithm.

In this study, an efficient one-dimensional model was developed for predicting microchannel steam/methane reformers with thin washcoat catalyst layers with a focus on low-pressure reforming conditions suitable for distributed hydrogen production systems for fuel cell applications. The governing equations for steam/methane mixture gas flowing through the microchannel reformer were derived considering the species conservation with reforming reactions and energy conservation with external convective heat supply. The reaction rates for the developed model were simply determined through the catalyst effectiveness factor correlations instead of performing complicated calculations for the steam/methane reforming process occurring inside the washcoat catalyst layers. The accuracy of the developed was verified by comparing the results obtained herein with those obtained by the detailed computational fluid dynamics calculation for the same microchannel reformer.

Spray impingement and fuel film formation models were developed and incorporated into the computational fluid dynamics code. STAR-CD. The spray/wall interaction process was modeled by considering the change of behaviour with surface temperature conditions and the fuel film formation. We divided the behaviour of fuel droplets after impingement into rebound, spread and splash using the Weber number and the parameter K. The Spray impingement model accounts for mass conservation, energy conservation and heat transfer to the impinging droplets. The fuel film formation model was developed by integrating the continuity, Navier-Stokes and energy equations along the direction of fuel film thickness. Validation of the models was conducted using previous diesel spray experimental data and the present experimental results for the gasoline spray impingement. In all the cases, the prediction compared reasonably well with the experimental results. The spray impingement and fuel film formation models have been applied to the spray/wall impingement in high speed direct injection diesel engines.

It is difficult to analytically derive a volumetric displacement formula for a gerotor hydraulic motor due to the complexity of the geometric shape of its gear lobes. This work proposes an analytical method for the volumetric displacement, a relatively easy method based upon two physical concepts: conservation between hydraulic energy and mechanical shaft energy, and torque equilibrium for the rotor's motion. The first research using these concepts was conducted on inner and outer rotors rotating with respect to each rotor axis. This work represents the second report conducted on an inner rotor revolving as a planetary motion on the stationary outer rotor. The formula equations regarding the volumetric displacement and flow rate are derived, and the proposed formula about the volumetric displacement is proven to be the same as another analytical displacement formula: the so-called vane length method. From the formula, volumetric displacement is calculated for an example geometry of the gear lobes. The resultant displacement is confirmed to be the same as the value calculated from the chamber volume method. The proposed analytical formula can be utilized in the analysis and design of gerotor hydraulic motors. Because it is based on torque equilibrium, this formula can provide a better understanding of torque performance, such as torque ripple, in designing a gerotor type motor.

It is hard and complex to analytically derive a volumetric displacement formula of a gerotor hydraulic motor because geometric shape of its rotors is complicate. An analytical method about the volumetric displacement is proposed in this work, which is relatively easy and based upon two physical concepts. The first one is energy conservation between hydraulic input energy of the motor and mechanical output energy. The second concept is torque equilibrium with respect to inner and outer rotors. The proposed formula about the volumetric displacement is verified by comparing an analytical displacement and a numerical displacement for an example specification of the motor. The numerical displacement is calculated through a kind of CAD technology. The analytical formula can be utilized in analysis and design of hydraulic gerotor motors.

Electric vehicles contribute greatly to energy conservation, $CO_2$ reduction and energy security through high fuel economy and various electric sources. Electric cars have a huge economic impact. More than 14 million hybrid electric cars have been sold worldwide. More than 3 million plug-in electric vehicles have been sold worldwide. The environmental impact depends greatly on the amount of national power generation, and as the electric grid becomes more and more carbon-intensive, countries are increasingly adopting hybrid and electric vehicles. Electricity is expanding beyond cars. Electric buses, trucks, and ships have similar benefits.

본 연구에서는 또하나의 새로운 서술방식을 제시하게 되는데, 먼저 에너지 이동현상으로서의 일중에서 가용일을 분리하고, 가역과정만이 가능한 세계 즉 가역세 계 안에서 측정과 산정이 가능하도록 열역학의 가장 중요한 물리량인 온도와 엔트로피, 열 등을, 가용일의 가측성을 이용하여 정의한 다음, 그러한 제한조건하에서 기존 열역 학의 기본 법칙들이 어떻게 표시되는가 살펴보고, 이것을 비가역과정에 확장하는 식의 순서에 따라 열역학의 기존원리들에 대한 서술을 재구성하고자 한다.

본 연구에서는 개념 질문지를 사용하여 퍼텐셜 에너지 곡선에 대한 예비 화학 교사들의 이해 정도를 조사하였다. 조사 대상은 화학교육을 전공하는 사범대학 3학년 학생 24명, 4학년 학생 26명으로 총 50명이었다. 개념 질문지는 구슬 두 개의 거리에 따른 퍼텐셜 에너지 변화 곡선을 주고 상상실험을 하는 것으로 구성하였다. 질문지의 응답을 분석한 결과 예비 화학 교사들은 퍼텐셜 에너지나 전체 역학적 에너지가 음의 값을 가지는 것을 받아들이기 어려워하였다. 또한 역학적 에너지 보존은 대부분 알고 있었으나 이를 상상실험의 조건에 제대로 적용하지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 구슬에 작용하는 힘의 방향은 대체로 알고 있었으나, 초기 위치에서 구슬이 이동하여 퍼텐셜 에너지가 가장 낮은 우물 바닥에서 정지할 것이라는 응답이 상당히 많았다. 또한 퍼텐셜 에너지 곡선과 관련지어 화학 결합, 기체의 액화, 분자의 진동 운동에 대한 이해도가 매우 낮은 것으로 드러났다.
