매우 높은 연소가스로부터 연소실을 보호하기 위하여 액체로켓에서는 재생냉각방법을 폭넓게 이용하고 있다. 재생냉각을 통한 로켓엔진의 냉각을 매우 효과적인 방법이지만, 이를 개발하기 위해서는 정확한 해석과정, 제작기술 등이 필요하다. 한다. 실제 소형 로켓엔진에 재생냉각을 이용한 엔진 냉각의 가능성을 확인하기 위하여 설계, 제작된 로켓으로 연소실험을 진행하였다. 실험에 사용한 연소실은 coolant passage 3 mm, 벽 두께 1 mm, stainless 304로 제작하였다. 최대연소압과 연소시간은 각각 400 psi와 60 sec이고, coolant 유량은 2 kg/s에서 0.12 kg/s까지 감소시키면서 실험하였다. 연소시험후 육안으로 검사한 결과 연소실에서 특별한 이상은 발견되지 않았다.

Helical-coil steam generator (HCSG) technology is a major design candidate for small modular reactors due to its compactness and capability to produce superheated steam with high generation efficiency. In this paper, we investigate the feasibility of the passively autonomous power maneuvering by coupling the 3-D transient multi-physics of a soluble-boron-free (SBF) core with a time-dependent HCSG model. The predictor corrector quasi-static method was used to reduce the cost of the transient 3-D neutronic solution. In the numerical system simulations, the feedwater flow rate to the secondary of the HCSGs is adjusted to extract the demanded power from the primary loop. This varies the coolant temperature at the inlet of the SBF core, which governs the passively autonomous power maneuvering due to the strongly negative coolant reactivity feedback. Here, we simulate a 100-50-100 load-follow operation with a 5%/minute power ramping speed to investigate the feasibility of the passively autonomous load-follow in a 450 MW_th SBF PWR. In addition, the passively autonomous frequency control operation is investigated. The various system models are coupled, and they are solved by an in-house Fortran-95 code. The results of this work demonstrate constant steam temperature in the secondary side and limited variation of the primary coolant temperature. Meanwhile, the variations of the core axial shape index and the core power peaking are sufficiently small.

This paper presents a modelling of thermal discharge performance for a static ice-on-coil ice-storage tank. Through the present study, discharging characteristics were examined with the existing results of theoretical and numerical heat transfer analyses. Also, an experiment was conducted to obtain a real set of discharge performance. The thermal effectiveness, the ratio of the actual heat transfer rate to the maximum possible heat transfer rate, decreased when the stored energy decreased during discharging period. And the effectiveness increased as the coolant flow rate through the storage increased, of which increasing rate decreased abruptly near the maximum and the minimum stored energy. An empirical correlation was obtained from the experimental and the numerical analysis data.

분사면 냉각성능을 개선하기 위한 액체로켓 엔진 연료 매니폴드내의 분리판 설치에 따른 분사균일성 변화를 관찰하였다. 3차원 전산유동해석으로 5개 후보 설계에 대하여 분사균일성을 비교하였으며 최적설계에 대하여 측정결과와 비교함으로써 해석방법을 검증하였다. case I과 II는 매니폴드로 공급되는 유량 전체가 분리판 아래로만 흘러 유속이 크게 증가한다. 하지만 분리판이 끝나는 지점에서의 유속변화와 분사면 중심에서의 유량의 집중으로 분사균일성이 크게 저하된다. 이에 비해 분리판이 입구에서 떨어져 장착된 case III와 IV는 유동이 분리판 위, 아래로 흐를 수 있어 유량집중이 완화되므로 균일한 분사특성을 가진다. 비교한 5가지 설계 중 냉각성능과 분사균일성 측면에서 case IV가 최적으로 판단된다.

The injection molding process is suitable for manufacturing complicated plastic products. As the customer request higher quality products increase, realization of the precise dimensional and shape controls is getting more important. For this purpose it is important to obtain uniform cooling procedure over the whole surface of the high temperature molded plastic. Failure to this may lead to different shrinkage speed, internal stresses and unwanted shape deformations. It is necessary to distribute coolant flow rates to the main channel and to the sub-channels properly to insure uniform cooling process when there are parallel cooling channels. In this study, three-dimensional turbulent flow simulations for representative parallel cooling channels were performed. To insure the intended flow rate to each sub-channels, various shape designs for the channel system were investigated. The results show that as the Reynolds number increases the effect of shape design is more profound. Through the proper flow distribution, uniform cooling effects would be expected.

The pipelines and equipments are degraded by flow-accelerated corrosion (FAC), and a large-scale test facility was constructed for simulate the FAC phenomena in secondary coolant environment of PWR type nuclear power plants. Using this facility, FAC test was performed on weld pipe (carbon steel and low alloy steel) at the conditions of high velocity flow (> 10 m/s). Wall thickness was measured by high temperature ultrasonic monitoring systems (four-channel buffer rod type and waveguide type) during test period and room temperature manual ultrasonic method before and after test period. This work deals with the complex effects of flow velocity on the wall thinning in weld pipe and the test results showed that the higher flow velocity induced different increasement of wall thinning rate for the carbon steel and low alloy steel pipe.

로켓엔진 고공 환경 모사용 디퓨져에는 연소가스의 고열로부터 디퓨져를 보호하기 위해 물을 이용한 냉각시스템이 사용되며 냉각수의 유량 및 압력은 냉각 채널 내부에서 냉각수의 비등이 발생하지 않도록 결정된다. 따라서 냉각수 유량의 변화에 따른 냉각 채널 벽면의 최고온도 예측은 냉각시스템의 운용 압력을 결정하는데 주요한 변수가 된다. 본 연구에서는 열평형 이론에 근거하여 유량 변화에 따른 채널 벽면의 최고온도를 예측하는 방법을 기술하였다.

A numerical study was conducted to predict the performance curve of a canned motor pump for SMART(System Integrated Modular Advanced ReacTor). The study used a computational domain which included not only the pump but also a suction pipe and a volute casing with a discharging pipe in order to simulate an experimental setup. The ANSYS CFX program was utilized to obtain flow characteristics inside the pump as well as the overall pressure rise across the pump operating on- and off-design points. Computed results showed that the performance of the pump at off-design points was much lower than expected. Special attention was made to find the cause of the low performance of the pump operating at low flow rate.

A highly compact and thermally efficient water cooled oil cooler for automotive use without offset strip fin and casing is developed in this study. The study result has shown that eliminating the fin and casing in the oil cooler the manufacturing process and cost and can be simplified and reduced greatly without sacrificing the thermal capacity. The oil cooler developed in the study uses the dimply type heat transfer core element design instead of offset strip fin and eliminates the outer casing for coolant water flow by applying specially made parallel loop flow design. In the study the thermal design program for the present oil cooler also was developed and validated experimentally.

In this study, the heat balance test of an engine was conducted, and the heat released to coolant is measured and corrected using a power adjustment factor for high fuel temperature to simulate heat rejection of the engine. An engine-converter matching simulation program which can compute the engine speed, transmission output speed, transmission input and output power is developed from the vehicle, transmission and engine performance curve. With this information and the engine heat rejection characteristics, the engine and transmission heat rejection rates can be determined at given condition. In analyzing the air mass flow, a sub program computing the air mass flow rate from the equation of the pressure balance between cooling fan static pressure rise and pressure losses of cooling components is developed.
