This paper presents in detail the hydraulic characteristic measurements using LDV(Laser Doppler Velocimetry) in subchannels of a HANARO, KAERI research reactor, fuel bundle. The fuel bundle consists of 18 axially finned rods with 3 spacer grids and has a cylindrical configuration. Axial velocity and turbulent intensity were measured. The effects of the spacer grids on the turbulent flow were investigated using the experimental results. Pressure drops for each component of the fuel bundle were measured, and the friction factors of the fuel bundle and the loss coefficients for the spacer grids were estimated from the measured pressure drops. The turbulent thermal mixing phenomena were discussed.

과부하 맨홀에서의 에너지 손실은 도심지의 침수피해를 가중시키는 요인이 된다. 그러므로 과부하 4방향 합류맨홀에서 에너지 손실의 저감을 위한 흐름특성 분석이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 현황조사 결과를 고려하여 수리실험 장치를 제작하였으며, 사각형 맨홀 및 연결관은 하수도시설 기준을 준용하여 1/5로 축소 제작하였다. 또한 과부하 4방향 사각형 합류맨홀에서 에너지 손실을 저감 시킬 수 있는 인버트 형상 조건을 도출하기 위하여 Fluent 6.3모형으로 수치모의를 실시하였다. 선정된 수리실험 조건인 유출유량($Q_{out}$)에 대한 측면 유입유량($Q_{lar}$)의 비($Q_{lat}/Q_{out}$)와 유출유량(2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 4.8 l/sec) 및 인버트 형상 변화 조건(십자형, 개선형)을 변화시키며 수리실험을 실시하였다. 십자형 인버트는 과부하 4방향 합류 맨홀의 배수능력 향상에 영향이 미미한 것으로 분석되었다. 그러나 개선된 직사각 개거형 인버트와 정사각 개거형 인버트는 각각 평균적으로 약 7%, 28%의 손실계수가 감소하여 배수능력을 개선하는 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 도시 관거 시설의 배수능력을 증대시키기 위하여 본 연구에서 제시된 개선형 인버트의 설치 및 활용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

Recently, greenhouse effect by $CO_2$ gas emitted by use of fossil fuel causes earth environmental problem. As a countermeasure of the global warming. micro hydropower under 100kW becomes the focus of attention for its clean and renewable energy sources. Newly developed micro positive displacement hydraulic turbine shows high efficiency and good applicability for the micro hydropoewer. The purpose of this study is to clarify the influence of leakage loss and effective head on the performance of the positive displacement hydraulic turbine for the further improvement of the turbine performance. The results show that the turbine. with a smaller side clearance. has much higher efficiency than that with bigger side clearance and it can sustain the high efficiency under the wider range of operation conditions. The turbine torque is proportional to the effective head and independent of the flow rate. The leakage is also dependent on the effective head but nearly independent of the flow rate.

In this study, a mathematical model for flaw with silt protector is proposed that adds a second-order energy loss term in the momentum equation. The three-dimensional numerical model was developed based on mathematical models and verified through comparison with flume test results. Loss coefficients were evaluated through the flume tests and applied to the numerical model. It was found through the investigation of various example cases that the downstream flow pattern was affected mainly by penetration of the silt curtain, not by the approach velocity, and also that the blocking effect of velocity was increased by the increase in mesh density of the silt curtain, below a certain mesh density. The blocking effect did not increase further above a certain mesh density.

The cooling problem of the hot internal pipe flow has been investigated. Simultaneous conduction, convection, and radiation were considered with azimuthally varying convective heat loss at the pipe wall. A complex, nonlinear integro-differential radiative transfer equation was solved by the discrete ordinates method (or called S$_{N}$ method). The energy equation was solved by control volume based finite difference technique. A parametric study was performed by varying the conduction-to-radiation parameter, optical thickness, and scattering albedo. The results have shown that initially the radiatively active medium could be more efficiently cooled down compared with the cases otherwise. But even for the case with dominant radiation, as the medium temperature was lowered, the contribution of conduction became to exceed that of radiation.n.

In this paper, the power flow analysis(PFA) method was developed to predict the vibrational responses of coupled co-planar orthotropic plates in frequencies ranging from medium to high. To cover the power transmission and reflection at the joint of the orthotropic plates, the wave transmission approach is applied with the assumption that all the incident waves are normal to the joint. Through numerical analyses, the power flow energy density and intensity fields of coupled co-planar orthotropic plates were compared with those of classical modal solutions by changing the frequency and internal loss factor, and they show good agreement in terms of the global decay and the attenuation patterns of the energy density.

지지격자가 있는 봉다발과 축방향으로 평행한 유동에서, 봉다발 마찰계수와 지지격자 손실계수를 평가하였다. 시험부는 외경 9.5 mm, 길이 2000 mm 인 봉 25 개를 $5{\times}5$ 정사각 구조로 배열하여 제작하였으며, 봉 중심간 거리와 봉 외경의 비는 1.35 였다. 지지격자로는 plain 지지격자, split-vane 지지격자, hybrid-vane 지지격자를 이용하였다. 지지격자가 없는 봉다발의 마찰계수는 기존 상관식과 비교적 잘 일치하였다. 지지격자가 있는 봉다발 실험의 경우, hybrid-vane 지지격자에서 봉다발 마찰계수 및 지지격자 손실계수가 가장 크게 측정되었으며, 이는 지지격자의 유동단면 막음비 증가와 혼합날개 형상에 의한 유동 교란이 증가되기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. Re=$5{\times}10^5$ 조건에서 plain 지지격자, split-vane 지지격자, hybrid-vane 지지격자의 손실계수는 약 0.79, 0.80, 0.88 로 예측되었다.

A chiller cooler absorbs the thermal energy of water to generate cold water and supplies the generated cold water to a cold water pipe buried in the wall of a small mobile modular house to greatly increase the cooling area. An attempt was made to reduce the required cooling time significantly. A small chiller cooler suitable for the cooling load of a small mobile modular house with an area less than 3.3 m² was employed. When cooling is done during summer using a chiller cooler installed outdoors, heat absorption energy loss occurs in the cold water pipe owing to the high temperature. To address this, a study was conducted to reduce the endothermic energy loss significantly. As the mass flow rate of the cold water flowing inside the cold water pipe increased, the temperature decrease gradient of the cold water increased. From the start of the cooling operation, the air temperature of the small mobile modular house decreased linearly in proportion to the operation time. Furthermore, the temperature of the air inside the small mobile modular house decreased in proportion to the increase in the flow of water inside the cold water pipe.

The carbon felt is usually hired as electrodes for vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB). In the study, surface modification of carbon felt under CO₂ atmosphere with variables of operating various temperature ranges between 700℃ and 900℃. The qualitative and quantitative analysis were carried out such as scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to observe degree of surface modification. Result of XPS analysis confirmed increase of carbon and oxidation functional group on the surface with increase of temperature. SEM image was discovered similar phenomena. Electrochemical characteristics such as cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) revealed the improved electrode performance with increase of temperature. However, the electrochemical performance under treatments temperature of 900℃ was less than that of under treatment temperature of 850℃ due to weight loss at the treatment temperature of 900℃. From the CV and EIS results, the best electrochemical characteristics was at the temperature of 850℃. That of at the temperature of 900℃ was decreased due to weight loss. The energy efficiencies (EE) obtained from full cell test were 69.37, 80.76, 82.45, and 75.47%, at the temperature of 700, 800, 850, and 900℃, respectively.

Topological matrix which reflects characteristics of network connectivity has been widely used in efficient solving for complicated flow network. Using topological matrix, one can easily define continuity at each node of flow network and make algorithm to automatically generate continuity equation of matrix form. In order to analyze flow network completely it is required to satisfy energy conservation in closed loops of flow network. Fundamental cycle retrieving algorithm based on graph theory automatically constructs energy conservation equation in closed loops. However, it is often accompanied by NP-complete problem. In addition, it always needs fundamental cycle retrieving procedure for every structural change of flow network. This paper proposes alternative mathematical method to analyze flow network without fundamental cycle retrieving algorithm. Consequently, the new mathematical method is expected to reduce solving time and prevent error occurrence by means of simplifying flow network analysis procedure.
