Friction factor and two-phase flow frictional multiplier for a CANFLEX bundle are newly developed and presented in this paper. CANFLEX as a 43-element fuel bundle has been developed jointly by AECL/KAERI to provide greater operational flexibility for CANDU reactor operators and designers. Friction factor and two-phase flow frictional multiplier have been developed by using the experimental data of pressure drops obtained from two series of Freon-l34a (R-134a) CHF tests with a string of simulated CANFLEX bundles in a single phase and a two-phase flow conditions. The friction factor for a CANFLRX bundle is found to be about 20 % higher than that of Blasius for a smooth circular pipe. The pressure drop predicted by using the new correlations of friction factor and two-phase frictional multiplier are well agreed with the experimental pressure drop data of CANFLEX bundle within ${\pm}\;5\;%$ error.

Capillary tubes are widely used as expansion device in small refrigeration systems. The refrigerant flowing in the capillary tube experiences frictional and accelerational head losses and flashing simultaneously. In this paper flow characteristics of adiabatic capillary tubes were simulated with various friction factor models, two-phase viscosity models, and two-phase frictional multiplier models. The predicted pressure distribution and mass flow rate are compared with experimental data reported in literature. It is confirmed that the predicting accuracy with homogeneous model can be improved by employing suitable correlations of friction factor, two-phase viscosity and two-phase frictional multiplier.

In this study, the general thermal and flow characteristics of flat tube with micro-channels has been studied and the correlation of Nusselt number and friction factor is proposed. The optimal flat tube geometry is determined by optimal design process. It is assumed to be a three dimensional laminar flow in the analysis of thermal and flow characteristics. The periodic boundary condition is applied since the geometry of flat tube with micro-channels shows uniform cross-section in primary flow direction. Local Nusselt number is examined for thermal characteristics of each membrane, and module average Nusselt number and friction factor are calculated to determine the characteristics of the heat transfer and pressure drop in overall flat tube with microchannels. The correlations between Nusselt number and friction factor are given by Reynolds number, aspect ratio of membranes, and the width of flat tube. ALM (Augmented Lagrangian Multiplier) method is applied to the correlations to determine an optimal shape of flat tube. It is shown that the optimal aspect ratio of flat tube is approximately 1.0, irrespective of the width of flat tube and Reynolds number.

수평 관군에 대하여 수직이고 상향으로 흐르는 2상 유동에 의한 감쇠비를 예측하기 위한 해석모델이 Sim에 의하여 개발되었다. 이 모델에서 평가된 2상 유동의 기공률, 압력손실 등의 유동변수는 기존의 실험식을 사용하여 계산하였다. 그러나 관군의 경우에 사용하기에는 약간의 개선이 요구된다. 따라서 관군 내에 흐르는 2상 유동의 유동 변수에 대한 더 많은 정보를 획득하기 위하여 실험적으로 연구할 필요가 있다. 실험은 공기 - 물의 2상 유동이 흐르는 정사각형 배열 관군에서의 압력계수와 2상 유동 마찰승수를 계산하기 위하여 수행되었다. 피치 직경 비는 1.35이었고, 실린더의 직경은 18 mm이다. 압력센서와 신호처리 장치를 이용하여 관군에서의 압력차를 측정하였다. 2상 유동 마찰승수와 오일러수를 계산하기 위하여 관군에 적용되는 비균질 유동의 기공률은 Feenstra 등의 실험식을 사용하여 계산하였다. 균질과 비균질 2상 유동의 마찰승수와 오일러의 수를 실험적으로 구하고 Sim의 어림적 모델에 근거한 이론적 해석 결과와 비교 분석하였다.

Semi-active control systems have attracted a great deal of attention in recent years because these systems can operate on battery power alone, proving advantageous during seismic events when the main power source of the structure may likely fail. The behavior of semi-active devices is often highly non-linear and requires suitable and efficient control algorithm. This paper presents the comparative study and performance of variable semi-active friction dampers by using recently proposed predictive control law with direct output feedback. In this control law, the variable slip force of semi-active variable friction damper is kept slightly lower than the critical friction force, which allows the damper to remain in the slip state during an earthquake, resulting in improved energy dissipation capability. This control algorithm is able to produce a continuous and smooth slip forces for a variable friction damper. The numerical examples include a structure controlled with multiple variable semi-active friction dampers and with multiple passive friction dampers. A parameter, gain multiplier defined as the ratio of damper force to critical damper control force, is investigated under four different real earthquake ground motions, which plays an important role in the present control algorithm of the damper. The numerically evaluated optimum parametric value is considered for the analysis of the structure with dampers. The numerical results of the variable friction dampers show better performance over the passive dampers in reducing the seismic response of structures.

Characteristics of two-phase pressure drop in microchannels were investigated experimentally. The microchannels consisted of 9 parallel trapezoidal channels with each channel having $205\;{\mu}m$ of bottom width, $800\;{\mu}m$ of depth, $3.6^{\circ}$ of sidewall angle, and 7 cm of length. Pressure drops in convective boiling of Refrigerant 113 were measured in the range of inlet pressure 105~195 kPa, mass velocity $150{\sim}920\;kg/m^2s$, and heat flux $10{\sim}100\;kW/m^2$. The total pressure drop generally increased with increasing mass velocity and/or heat flux. Two-phase frictional pressure drop across the microchannels increased rapidly with exit quality and showed bigger gradient at higher mass velocity. A critical review of correlations in the literature suggested that existing correlations were not able to match the experimental results obtained for two-phase pressure drop associated with convective boiling in microchannels. A new correlation suitable for predicting two-phase friction multiplier was developed based on the separated flow model and showed good agreement with the experimental data.

이상 횡 유동은 응축기, 증발기와 원자로 증기발생기와 같은 쉘과 튜브의 열 교환기에서 볼 수 있다. 이상 유동장에 놓인 구조물에 작용하는 수동력을 이해하기 위해서는 이상유동의 특성을 이해하는 것이 중요하다. 이상 유동의 유동특성과 유동변수를 소개하고 관군에서의 압력손실과 실린더에 작용하는 압력분포에 의한 수동력을 평가하기 위한 실험을 수행하였다, 실험부 입구에서 이상유동은 혼합되었으며 실험은 횡 방향 이상 유동장에 놓인 정규 삼각형 배열을 갖는 관군을 사용하여 수행하였다. 관군에서의 흐름방향 압력손실을 측정하여 이상유동의 마찰승수를 계산하고 이론적 결과와 비교하였다. 또한 특정 실린더에 작용하는 원주 방향 압력 분포의 측정결과와 이상유동의 기초이론에 근거하여 압력손실계수의 분포 및 항력계수에 미치는 체적건도와 단위면적당 질량유량의 효과를 평가하였다. 튜브 표면에 작용하는 측정된 압력을 수치해석방법으로 적분하여 항력계수를 계산하였다. 작은 질량 유량의 경우에 측정된 마찰 승수는 기존의 이론 결과와 잘 일치하며 압력분포에 의한 항력계수에 작용하는 기공률의 영향은 기존의 실험결과와 정성적으로 유사한 경향을 보이고 있다.

The characteristics about the pressure drop in microtubes have been investigated. The test tubes are the circular, seamless, stainless steel tubes with an inner diameter of 0.244, 0.430, and 0.792 mm, respectively. R-l34a was used as a test fluid. Early flow transition which has been reported in some previous studies is not found in single-phase flow pressure drop tests. The conventional theory between friction factor and Reynolds number predicted the experimental friction factors within an absolute average deviation of $8.9\%$. The two-phase flow pressure drop increases for higher quality and mass flux, and for reduced inner diameter. The existing correlations fail to predict the experimental data. A new correlation to predict the two-phase flow pressure drop is developed in the form of the Lockhart-Martinelli correlation. The effects of the tube diameter and the surface tension were considered, and the correlation predicted the experimental data within an average absolute deviation of $8.1\%$.
