When a molten corium is relocated in a lower head of a reactor vessel, the ERVC (External Reactor Vessel Cooling) system is actuated as coolant is supplied into a reactor cavity to remove a decay heat from the molten corium during a severe accident. To achieve this severe accident mitigation strategy, the two-phase natural circulation flow in the annular gap between the external reactor vessel and the insulation should be formed sufficiently by designing the coolant inlet/outlet area and gap size adequately on the insulation device. For this reason, one-dimensional natural circulation flow tests were conducted to estimate the natural circulation flow under the ERVC condition of APR1400. The experimental facility is one-dimensional and scaled-down as the half height and 1/238 rectangular channel area of the APR1400 reactor vessel. As the water inlet area increased, the natural circulation mass flow rate asymptotically increased, that is, it converged at a specific value. And the circulation mass flow rate also increased as the outlet area, injected air flow rate, and outlet height increased. But the circulation mass flow rate was not changed along with the external water level variation if the water level was higher than the outlet height.

When a molten corium is relocated in a lower head of a reactor vessel, the ERVC (External Reactor Vessel Cooling) system is actuated as coolant is supplied into a reactor cavity to remove a decay heat from the molten corium during a severe accident. To achieve this severe accident mitigation strategy, the two-phase natural circulation flow in the annular gap between the external reactor vessel and the insulation should be formed sufficiently by designing the coolant inlet/outlet area and gap size adequately on the insulation device. For this reason, one-dimensional natural circulation flow tests and the simple analysis were conducted to estimate the natural circulation flow under the ERVC condition of APR1400. The experimental facility is one-dimensional and scaled down as the half height and 1/238 channel area of the APR1400 reactor vessel. The calculated circulation flow rate was similar to experimental ones within about ${\pm}$15% error bounds and depended on the form loss due to the inlet/outlet area.

A 1/21.6 scaled non-heating experimental facility was prepared utilizing the results of a scaling analysis to simulate the APR1400 reactor and insulation system. The behaviors of the air bubble-induced two-phase natural circulation flow in the insulation gap were observed, and the liquid mass flow rates driven by natural circulation loop were measured by varying the injected air flow rate and distribution. As the injected air flow rates increased, the natural circulation flow rates also increased. Both the longitudinal and the latitudinal distributions of the injected air affected the natural circulation flow rates, especially, the longitudinal effect is more larger.

2016년 6월 영국 그렌펠 타워 화재는 외단열에 의한 수직화재확산으로 인한 대표적인 피해사례이다. 외단열 공법에서 많이 사용되는 유기단열재는 단열성능이 좋은 반면 화재에 취약한 단점이 있다. 알루미늄 복합패널을 외벽 마감재로 사용하는 외단열 공법에서 알루미늄 내부에 사용되는 플라스틱은 수직 화재확산의 원인으로 지목되고 있다. 알루미늄복합패널을 외벽에 고정하기 위해 사용되는 철재 프레임 때문에 외벽과 외벽 마감재 사이에 중공층이 형성된다. 외벽에 화재가 발생하면 가연성외벽의 연소뿐만 아니라 단열재로부터 발생된 화염이 중공층을 통해 수직으로 급격히 확산되어 인명 및 재산피해가 발생할 수 있다. 국내의 경우 국토교통부고시 2015 - 744에 의한 소재단위 성능시험이 수행되고 있으며, 영국에서는 실제 규모의 화재시험으로 외벽의 수직화재확산 시간의 측정이 가능한 BS8414 시험이 시행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 현행 국내 고시 기준으로 적합한 준불연 소재의 알루미늄복합패널을 대상으로 영국에서 시행되고 있는 실규모 외벽화재시험(BS 8414)을 수행하여 수직화재확산에 대한 거동 관찰과 현재 마감재료의 소재단위 평가의 한계를 확인하고자 하며, 실제 규모의 화재 시험을 통한 외벽화재 화재확산 방지를 위한 시스템 도입 필요성 확인하고자 한다.

Energy performance of building envelope components, including external walls, floors, roofs, windows and doors, is crutial for determining how much energy is required for heating and cooling in a building. Among various building technologies, a green roof system can be a good option for reducing heat gain and loss in new buildings as well as existing buildings for green remodeling. This paper evaluates the performance of green roof systems according to soil depth and Leaf Area Index (LAI) for existing buildings. It also attempts to quantify the energy saving effects on new and existing buildings with different insulation levels. Thermal performance of green roofs is mainly dependent on soil thickness and LAI. Installation of green roofs in deteriorated existing buildings can lead to improvements in roof insulation, due to the soil layer. An increase in soil depth leads to a decrease in heating load, regardless of conditions of vegetation on the green roof. Larger LAI values may reduce cooling loads in the cooling season. Installation of green roof in deteriorated existing buildings showed bigger energy saving effect in comparison to a case in new buildings. A simulation study showed that the installation of green roof systems in deteriorated existing buildings with low insulation levels, due to low thermal performance requirements when constructed, could improve the energy performance of the buildings similar or better to the peformance on new buildings with the most updated insulation standard. Thus, when remodeling a deteriorated building, green roofs could be a good option to meet the most recent energy requirements.

본 논문에서는 Membrane형 LNG선의 구성 요소를 대상으로 단열창의 열적 분포를 알아보기 위해 극저온 상태에서부터 온도 별로 각 소재의 열적 물성치인 열전도도(thermal conductivity)를 실험을 통해서 알아보았다. 극저온 상태인 $-163^{\circ}C$의 온도상태로 유지되어야 하는 LNG선 화물탱크는 단열재료로 하여금 열을 차단하기 위해 많은 연구가 되어야 하는데 특히 여러 재료로 구성되어 있는 단열 화물창(CCS: Cargo containment system)은 열적 물성치가 온도에 따라 각각 어떠한 값을 가지는 것이 주요 관심대상이고, 이를 통해 전체 LNG 단열 화물창이 어떤 열적 분포를 가지는 것에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 실험을 통해 얻은 물성치를 가지고 전체 화물창의 온도분포를 정적 열해석을 통해 알아보았다. 또한 외부의 충격에 의해 LNG가 누수되었을때 2차 방벽 특히 hull 부분에서는 누수량에 대해서 어떠한 온도분포와 열적 안전성에 대해서 알아보았다.

In the cases of severe arrythmia and conduction failure, a permanent implanted pacemaker is considered an essential treatment modality with less complication rate, broad indications and low morbidity. However, some pacemakers needs to be removed or replaced due to infection, in need of a lead upgrade, elective replacement, conduction failure or insulation failure. The most common indication for pacemaker extraction is infection. Conservative treatments such as administration of intravenous antibiotics and limitation of debridement are not effective and the removal of the entire pacing system is considered to be the best approach to pacemaker pocket infection. Although a locking stylet, a laser sheath and other newer methods of transvenous lead extraction have been proven to be effective, all leads cannot be removed. Moreover, major complications such as, cardiac tamponade and respiratory arrest during leads extraction procedure should not be ignored. We experienced two cases of exposed pacemakers in the subclavicular region. After removing the pacemaker body, exposed proximal lead was pulled out and cut off. The end of remnant external insulation tube was tied to prevent infection propagation between external insulation tube and inner metalic coil. Wounds were covered by local flap coverage. No other problems were detected during the one-year follow-up. Since there are few reports on lead-preserving method of treating limited infection of exposed pacemakers, we would like to present our new method for treating exposed pacemakers.

Curtain-wall systems have been widely applied to buildings because of their lightweight and constructability characteristics. However, as curtain-wall systems include many building materials, vapor barriers can become damaged and condensation can occur. Due to the material properties of stone curtain-walls, the external appearance and structure of a building could be damaged and the insulating performance of the curtain-wall could be worse. Natural ventilation using an air cavity in a curtain-wall is expected to be effective for the prevention of condensation in inner walls and for the reduction of building cooling energy use in the summer. The purpose of this experimental study is to analyze the influence of a ventilated cavity on the insulating performance of a curtain-wall and the ventilated cavity depth and ratio of top opening needed to prevent condensation in a curtain-wall.
