냉각재 상실사고에 따르는 rewetting현상을 연구하기 위하여 대기압에서 단일가열관을 사용한 재관수 실험을 수행하였다. Yamanouchi 이론을 바탕으로한 1차원 및 2차원 열전도 해석을 본 실험조건과 일치시키기 위해 수정하여 실험결과와 비교 검토하였다. 하부재관수 해석에서는 unrewetted 구역에서 증기의 열전달이 고려 되어야 한다는 것을 알았다. 실험을 통해 revetting속도는 시험관의 초기벽온도, 냉각재 유량, 냉각재 온도에 따라 달라진다는 것을 알았다. rewetting 온도와 열전달 계수를 평가하기 위한 보다 나은 방법의 개발이 필요하다.

The turbulent mixing rate is a very important variable in the thermal-hydraulic design of nuclear reactors. In this study, the turbulent mixing rate the fluid flows through rod bundles is estimated with the scale analysis on the flow pulsation phenomenon. Based upon the assumption that the turbulent mixing is composed of molecular motion, isotropic turbulent motion (turbulent motion without the flow pulsation), and How pulsation, the scale relation for the mixing is derived as a function of P/D, Re, and Pr. The derived scale relation is compared with published experimental results and shows good agreements. Since the scale relation is applicable to various Prandtl number fluid flows, it is expected to be useful for the thermal-hydraulic analysis of liquid metal coolant reactors as well as of moderate Prandtl number coolant reactors.

Recently, a double-side machining process has been adopted in fabricating a sapphire glass to enhance the manufacturability. Double-side lap grinding (DLG) is one of the emerging processes that can reduce process steps in the fabrication of sapphire glasses. The DLG process uses two-body abrasion with fixed abrasives including pallet. This process is designed to have a low pressure and high rotational speed in order to obtain the required material removal rate. Thus, the temperature is distributed on the DLG platen during the process. This distribution affects the shape of the substrate after the DLG process. The coolant that is supplied into the cooling channel carved in the base platen can help to control the temperature distribution of the DLG platen. This paper presents the results of computational fluid dynamics with regard to the heat transfer in a DLG platen, which can be used for fabricating a sapphire glass. The simulation conditions were 200 rpm of rotational speed, 50℃ of frictional temperature on the pallet, and 20℃ of coolant temperature. The five cases of the coolant flow rate (20~36 l/min) were simulated with a tetrahedral mesh and prism mesh. The simulation results show that the capacity of the generated cooling system can be used for newly developed DLG machines. Moreover, the simulation results may provide a process parameter influencing the uniformity of the sapphire glass in the DLG process.

스크램제트 연소기용 파일런 분사기를 공력가열로부터 보호하기 위한 새로운 냉각 방법을 제안하고, 이를 수치적으로 검증하였다. 비행 마하수가 8인 경우를 고려하였으며, 공기를 냉각 유체로 고려하였다. 수치연구를 위하여 3차원 Navier-Stokes 방정식과$k-{\omega}$ SST 난류 모델을 이용하였다. 냉각류를 파일런 위쪽에서 하향 분사하는 방법은, 냉각류를 파일런 바닥 쪽에서 상향 분사하는 방법에 비해 적은 유량으로 더 나은 냉각효과를 나타내었다. 또한, 순압력 구배 상황에서 냉각류를 분사함으로써 분사유동의 박리가 줄어들고 파일런 분사기 앞쪽에 유동장 교란이 줄어들어, 압력손실 저감 효과가 있음을 확인하였다.

추진제로 LOX/kerosene를 사용하는 소형 액체로켓 엔진의 노즐에서 막냉각의 영향을 살펴보고자 물을 냉각제로 사용하여 로켓엔진의 노즐을 막냉각 시켰다. 막냉각제를 추력실로 흘려보내기 위한 막냉각장치를 제작하였으며, 막냉각제의 공급유량은 전체 추진제 공급 유량의 약 15~19% 하였다. 노즐의 열유속은 냉각제(물)의 온도상승과 유량을 측정하여 구하였다. 측정결과 노즐의 입구에서 막냉각제를 직접 분사시켰을 때, 노즐에서의 열유속은 크게 감소하였다.

In case that in-leakage through the valve disk occurs, a numerical study is performed to estimate on thermal stratification phenomenon in the Safety Injection piping connected with the Reactor Coolant System piping of Nuclear Power Plant. As the leakage flow rate increases, the temperature difference between top and bottom of horizontal piping has the inflection point. In the connection point of valve and piping, the maximum temperature difference between top and bottom was 185K and occurred in the condition of 10 times of standard leakage flow rate. In the connection point of elbow and horizontal piping, the maximum temperature difference was 145K and occurred in the condition of 15 times of standard leakage flow rate. In the vertical piping of Safety Injection piping, the near of connection point between elbow and vertical piping showed the outstanding thermal stratification phenomenon in comparison with another region because of turbulent penetration from Reactor Coolant System piping. In order to prevent damage of piping due to the thermal stratification when in-leakage through the valve disk occurs, the connection points between valve and piping, and the connection points between elbow and piping need to be inspected continually.

A numerical program has been developed for the simulation of automotive engine cooling system. The program determines the mass flow rate of engine coolant circulating the engine cooling system and radiator cooling air when the engine speed is adopted by appropriate empirical correlation. The program used the method of thermal balance at individual element through the model for radiator component in radiator analysis. This study has developed the program that predicts the coolant mass flow rate, inlet and outlet temperatures of each component in the engine cooling system (engine, transmission, radiator and oil cooler) in its state of thermal equilibrium. This study also combined the individual programs and united into the total performance analysis program of the engine cooling system operating at a constant vehicle speed. An air conditioner system is also included in this engine cooling system so that the condenser of the air conditioner faces the radiator. The effect of air conditioner to the cooling performance, e.g., radiator inlet temperature, of the radiator and engine system was examined. This study could make standards of design of radiator capacity using heat rejection with respect to the mass flow rate of cooling air. This study is intended to predict the performance of each component at design step or to simulate the system when specification of the component is modified, and to analyze the performance of the total vehicle engine cooling system.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the best melting condition with various winding number of a heating pipe, supplying quantity of engine coolant and coolant temperature at the inlet of the heating pipe. Also, it is to suggest getting method of an appropriate quantity of the agent for the urea-SCR system within 10 minutes. For this matter, this study identifies the temperature distribution of inside of urea-tank while it is frozen at the low temperature condition, and suggests the best melting condition of the frozen urea within 10 minutes. From the results, it was found that 2L of melted urea was obtained by the coolant flow rate of 200L/hr at $70^{\circ}C$ for 10 minutes from the start of engine operating.

An experiment was performed using the large-scale test facility (LSTF), which simulated a 1% vessel upper head small-break loss-of-coolant accident with an accident management (AM) measure under an assumption of total-failure of high-pressure injection (HPI) system in a pressurized water reactor (PWR). In the LSTF test, liquid level in the upper head affected break flow rate. Coolant was manually injected from the HPI system into cold legs as the AM measure when the maximum core exit temperature reached 623 K. The cladding surface temperature largely increased due to late and slow response of the core exit thermocouples. The AM measure was confirmed to be effective for the core cooling. The RELAP5/MOD3.3 code indicated insufficient prediction of primary coolant distribution. The author conducted uncertainty analysis for the LSTF test employing created phenomena identification and ranking table for each component. The author clarified that peak cladding temperature was largely dependent on the combination of multiple uncertain parameters within the defined uncertain ranges.

최근에 연비향상을 위해 다양한 기술들이 개발 중에 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 배기열 재순환장치의 열교환 성능을 평가한 후 최적 성능의 모델을 제안하는데 있다. 이 장치는 버려지는 배기열을 이용하여 가능한 한 빠르게 엔진 냉각수를 웜업 시키도록 설계하였다. 이 목적을 달성하기 위하여 CFD를 이용하여 냉각수의 흐름 방향과 냉각수의 유입 유출 위치에 따른 열유동 특성을 분석하고, 열교환 효율을 상승시키기 위한 방법을 제시하였다. 그 결과 냉각수 유량이 적고, 배기가스와 냉각수의 유로를 각각 구성하여 배기가스의 열이 직접적으로 냉각수에 영향을 미치는 구조가 가장 열교환 효율이 좋은 것으로 나타났다.
