A cooldown time is one of the major factors in many cryocooler applications, especially for the design of conduction-cooled superconducting apparatus. The estimation of cooldown seeks the elapsed time to cool thermal object by a cryocooler during initial cooldown process. This procedure includes the dimension of cold mass, heat transfer analysis for cryogenic load and available refrigerating capacity of a cryocooler. This method is applied to the specific cooling system for a 3 Tesla superconducting magnet cooled by a two-stage GM cryocooler. The result is compared with that of experiment, showing that the results of proposed method have a good agreement with experiments during initial cooling of superconducting magnet.

KEPCO High Temperature Superconducting (HTS) cable system rated with $3\Phi$, 22.9kV, 1250A was laid in 2006, and the long term test is in progress. The HTS cable system with the cooling system has been operated below cryogenic temperature. That environment exposes the system to the thermo-mechanical stress due to the significant temperature difference, and the cooling system has moving parts for the forced circulation of the coolant. Therefore the HTS cable system experiences thermal fatigue and moving part such as liquid nitrogen pump need a regular replacement every 5000 hours Building the assessment criterion, the maintenance procedure was established and regular preventive maintenance was done; improvement of the termination structure and the replacement of the bearing of liquid nitrogen pump. Following the proper process, the reliability assessment test including He leakage detection and the stability of flow rate was performed. This paper describes the process and result of the first regular maintenance of KEPCO HTS cable system

LNG는 극저온액체로 저장탱크의 열유입으로 인하여 지속적으로 BOG가 발생하고 있으며, 이의 효과적인 방법의 재액화가 요구되고 있다. 이 BOG의 재액화에는 공급되는 저압 펌프 후의 LNG의 냉열을 이용하는 데, 현재의 공정은 BOG 단위 발생량에 대하여 10배 이상의 LNG 흐름이 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 NGL분리액화와 2차 고압펌프 후의 LNG 냉열을 이용하는 공정을 새롭게 고안하였으며, 이를 분석한 결과 LNG 소요유량이 3~4배에 불과한 매우 효과적인 재액화 시스템이 되었다. 본 고안에 의하면 하절기에도 원활한 BOG 재액화가 가능하므로, LNG기지의 안전성 향상과 공급 의 효율을 높일 수 있는 매우 효과적인 공정으로 분석되었다.

When the wall temperature is very high, a stable vapor film covers the heat transfer surface. The vapor film creates a strong thermal resistance when heat is transferred to the liquid though it. This phenomenon, called "film boiling" is very important in the heat treatment of metals, the design of cryogenic heat exchangers, and the emergency cooling of nuclear reactors. In the practical engineering problems of the transient cooling process of a high temperature wall, the wall temperature history, the variation of the heat transfer coefficients, and the wall superheat at the rewetting points, are the main areas of concern. These three areas are influenced in a complex fashion such factors as the initial wall temperature, the physical properties of both the wall and the coolant, the fluid temperature, and the flow state. Therefore many kinds of specialized experiments are necessary in the creation of precise thermal design. The object of this study is to investigate the heat transfer characteristics in the transient cooling process of a high temperature wall. The slow transient cooling experiment was carried out with a copper block of high thermal capacity. The block was 240 mm high and 79 mm O.D.. The coolant flowed throuogh the center of a 10 mm diameter channel in the copper block. In the copper block, three sheathed thermocouples were placed in a line perpendicular to the flow. These thermocouples were used to take measurements of the temperature histories of the copper block.

Restrictions on the emissions of nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, carbon dioxide, and particulate matter from marine engines are being tightened. Each of these emissions requires different reduction technologies, which are costly and require many pieces of equipment to meet the requirements. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) fuel has a great advantage in reducing harmful emissions emitted from ships. Therefore, the marine engine application of LNG fuel is significantly increasing in new ship buildings. Accordingly, this study analyzed the internal support structure, insulation type, and fuel supply piping system of a 35 m3 International Maritime Organization C type pressurized storage tank of an LNG-fueled ship. Analysis of the heat transfer characteristics revealed that A304L stainless steel has a lower heat flux than A553 nickel steel, but the effect is not significant. The heat flux of pearlite insulation is much lower than that of vacuum insulation. Moreover, the analysis results of the constraint method of the support ring showed no significant difference. A553 steel containing 9% nickel has a higher strength and lower coefficient of thermal expansion than A304L, making it a suitable material for cryogenic containers.

이산화탄소($CO_2$) 포집 및 지중저장을 위한 $CO_2$ 수송선용 저장탱크는 액체 $CO_2$와 직접적으로 접촉할 경우 발생할 수 있는 물리적/열적 탱크 손상을 방지하기 위해 화물 선적 단계 이전에 예냉과정을 거쳐야 한다. 본 연구에서는 예냉을 위해 주입되는 저온 $CO_2$ 기체의 탱크 유입량을 계산하기 위해 $CO_2$ 저장탱크 예냉과정의 수학적 모델 식을 제안하였다. 또한 비례-적분(proportional-integral: PI) 제어를 통해 공정을 제어하는 동적 모사 결과를 제시하였다. 이 때 제어 변수를 탱크 내 온도 또는 압력으로 선정한 두 가지 사례를 모사하였으며 그러한 결정이 $CO_2$ 저장탱크의 예냉과정에 미치는 영향을 해석하였다. 결과적으로 예냉과정의 PI제어에는 탱크 내 온도를 제어하는 것보다 압력을 제어하는 우회적인 방식을 택할 때 수학적 모델의 비선형성과 특이점 발생으로 인한 불안정성을 피할 수 있으므로 더 안정된 결과가 도출됨을 보였다.

In the case of boiling on high temperature wall, vapor film covers fully or parcially the surface. This phenomenon, film boiling or transition boiling, is very important in the surface heat treatment of metal, design of cryogenic heat exchanger and emergency cooling of nuclear reactor. Mainly supposed hydraulic-thermal accidents in nuclear reactor are LCCA (Loss of Coolant Accident) and PCM (Power-Cooling Mismatch). Recently, world-wide studies on reflooding of high temperature rod bundles after the occurrence of the above accidents focus attention on wall temperature history and required time in transient cooling process, wall superheat at rewet point, heat flux-wall superheat relationship beyond the transition boiling region, and two-phase flow state near the surface. It is considered that the further systematical study in this field will be in need in spite of the previous results in ref. (2), (3), (4). The paper is the study about the fast transient cooling process following the wall temperature excursion under the CHF (Critical Heat Flux) condition in a forced convective subcooled boiling system. The test section is a vertically arranged concentric annulus of 800 mm long and 10 mm hydraulic diameter. The inner tube, SUS 304 of 400 mm long, 8 mm I.D, and 7 mm O.D., is heated uniformly by the low voltage AC power. The wall temperature measurements were performed at the axial distance from the inlet of the heating tube, z=390 mm. 6 chromel- alumel thermocouples of 76 .mu.m were press fitted to the inner surface of the heating tube periphery. To investigate the heat transfer characteristics during the fast transient cooling process, the outer surface (fluid side) temperature and the surface heat flux are computed from the measured inner surface temperature history by means of a numerical method for inverse problems of transient heat conduction. Present cooling (boiling) curve is sufficiently compared with the previous results.

Oxide dispersion-strengthened (ODS) steel has excellent high-temperature properties, corrosion resistance, and oxidation resistance, and is expected to be applicable in various fields. Recently, various studies on mechanical alloying (MA) have been conducted for the dispersion of oxide particles in ODS steel with a high number density. In this study, ODS steel is manufactured by introducing a complex milling process in which planetary ball milling, cryogenic ball milling, and drum ball milling are sequentially performed, and the microstructure and high-temperature mechanical properties of the ODS steel are investigated. The microstructure observation revealed that the structure is stretched in the extrusion direction, even after the heat treatment. In addition, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis confirmed the presence of oxide particles in the range of 5 to 10 nm. As a result of the room-temperature and high-temperature compression tests, the yield strengths were measured as 1430, 1388, 418, and 163 MPa at 25, 500, 700, and 900℃, respectively. Based on these results, the correlation between the microstructure and mechanical properties of ODS steel manufactured using the composite milling process is also discussed.
