하이브리드 로켓은 축 방향의 산화제 유동과 고체 연료의 기화로 인한 벽면 분출 유동사이의 상호 간섭에 의해 복잡한 형태의 혼합 전단층이 존재한다. 연소실 입구에 링이 설치되어 있고 질량분사가 있는 실린더 유동에 대하여 압축성 효과를 고려한 LES(Large Eddy Simulation) 기법을 적용하여 수치계산을 수행하였다. 최근의 실험에 의하면 연료 중간에 링과 같은 다이아프램이 설치된 경우, 연소율의 증가가 관찰되었다. 계산 결과에 따르면, 축방향 유동과 벽면 분출 유동이 상호 간섭하여 발생하는 벽면 와류가 국부적인 연료 표면으로의 열전달을 증가시켜 실험에서 관찰되는 딤플이 생성되는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 연소실 입구에 설치된 링에 의하여 발생되는 와류는 벽면 와류가 보다 활발하게 생성되고 열전달과 혼합을 향상시키는 역할을 하며 이 때문에 연소율이 증가되는 것으로 보인다.

A steam reformer is a chemical reactor to produce high purity hydrogen from fossil fuel. In the steam reformer, since endothermic steam reforming is heated by exothermic combustion of fossil fuel, the heat transfer between two reaction zones dominates conversion of fossil fuel to hydrogen. Steam Reforming is complex chemical reaction, mass and heat transfer due to the exothermic methane/air combustion reaction and the endothermic steam reforming reaction. Typically, a steam reformer employs burner to supply appropriate heat for endothermic steam reforming reaction which reduces system efficiency. In this study, the heat of steam reforming reaction is provided by anode-off gas combustion of stationary fuel cell. This paper presents a optimization of heat transfer effect and average temperature of cross-section using two-dimensional models of a coaxial cylindrical reactor, and analysis three-dimensional models of a coaxial cylindrical steam reformer with chemical reaction. Numerical analysis needs to dominant chemical reaction that are assumed as a Steam Reforming (SR) reaction, a Water-Gas Shift (WGS) reaction, and a Direct Steam Reforming(DSR) reaction. The major parameters of analysis are temperature, fuel conversion and heat flux in the coaxial reactor.

The radiological characteristics for waste classification were assessed for neutron-activated decommissioning wastes from a CANDU reactor. The MCNP/ORIGEN2 code system was used for the source term analysis. The neutron flux and activation cross-section library for each structural component generated by MCNP simulation were used in the radionuclide buildup calculation in ORIGEN2. The specific activities of the relevant radionuclides in the activated metal waste were compared with the specified limits of the specific activities listed in the Korean standard and 10 CFR 61. The time-average full-core model of Wolsong Unit 1 was used as the neutron source for activation of in-core and ex-core structural components. The approximated levels of the neutron flux and cross-section, irradiated fuel composition, and a geometry simplification revealing good reliability in a previous study were used in the source term calculation as well. The results revealed the radioactivity, decay heat, hazard index, mass, and solid volume for the activated decommissioning waste to be $1.04{\times}10^{16}$ Bq, $2.09{\times}10^3$ W, $5.31{\times}10^{14}\;m^3$-water, $4.69{\times}10^5$ kg, and $7.38{\times}10^1\;m^3$, respectively. According to both Korean and US standards, the activated waste of the pressure tubes, calandria tubes, reactivity devices, and reactivity device supporters was greater than Class C, which should be disposed of in a deep geological disposal repository, whereas the side structural components were classified as low- and intermediate-level waste, which can be disposed of in a land disposal repository. Finally, this study confirmed that, regardless of the cooling time of the waste, 15% of the decommissioning waste cannot be disposed of in a land disposal repository. It is expected that the source terms and waste classification evaluated through this study can be widely used to establish a decommissioning/disposal strategy and fuel cycle analysis for CANDU reactors.

최근 대기오염 방지를 위한 각종 규정들이 강화되고, 연료유 가격의 상승으로 인해 LNG(Liquefied Natural Gas)를 선박의 추진연료로 사용하는 Gas Fuelled Ship의 등장은 필연적이게 되었다. 본 연구에서는 Gas Fuelled Ship에서 연료로 사용되는 LNG를 DF(Dual-Fuel)엔진에 공급하기 전 기화 시켜주기 위해 Eglycol water(Ethylene glycol water)를 가열매체로 사용한 재기화 시스템을 구성하고, Eglycol과 물의 혼합비율에 따른 시스템 특성을 분석하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. DF엔진으로 공급되는 천연가스의 압력과 온도 그리고 유량이 일정하게 유지될 때 Eglycol의 혼합비율이 증가할수록 Eglycol water의 혼합비열이 낮아지게 되면서 물만을 사용했을 때와 대비하여 1.65배 많은 cycle 유량과 1.54배의 펌프 소요 동력이 요구됨을 확인하였고, vaporizer의 크기를 고정한 후 Eglycol의 혼합비에 따른 DF엔진으로 공급되는 천연가스의 온도 및 vaporizer 출구측 Eglycol water의 온도를 산정하였다.

흡입 공기 온도가 연소 효율에 미치는 효과를 조사하기 위하여, 보론 카바이드가 충전된 그레인을 사용하여 실험을 수행하였다. 시험 결과 무차원화한 연소 효율은, 보론 입자의 증가된 연소 결과로 흡입 공기 온도가 올라감에 따라 증가하였다. 연소 효율은 증가하고 있지만, 반-실험적 방법에 의한 전반적인 효율은 온도가 올라감에 따라 감소하고 있다. 열입력 매개 변수와 연소실 마하 수를 변수로 브레이튼 사이클을 적용하여 분석하였으며 이들 두 인자가 성능에 여향을 미치고 있고, 실험 결과에서도 같은 추세를 보였다.

Hybrid rocket had many advantage with compared to solid and liquid rockets. However, the engines have not yet been used in practical rocket systems, due mainly to the disadvantage of hybrid combustion, such as low fuel regression rate. In this study, lab-scale hybrid motor was designed and manufactured. And the methods of regression rate improvement were considered. Test firings with thrusts up to 300 N were conducted with GOX and transparent PMMA. Thrust was calculated with the pressure of the combustion chamber and the regression rate was measured in with variation of oxidizer flow rate. The regression rates showed a strong dependency on GOX mass flux. The frequency analysis technique of the bulk-mode oscillation of motor was applied to a hybrid rocket motor and was based on the principle that this frequency was inversely proportional to the square root of the chamber volume. Several problems and solutions of operating hybrid rocket were presented.

In the combustion system, the optimum spray conditions reduce the pollutant emission of exhaust gas and enhance the fuel efficiency. The spray characteristics-the drop size, the drop velocity, the number density and the mass flux, become increasingly important in the design of combustor and in testifying numerical simulation of spray flow in the combustor. The purposes of this study are to clarify the spray characteristics of twin-fluid nozzle and to offer the data for combustor design and the numerical simulation of a spray flow. Spatial drop diameter was measured by immersion sampling method. The mean diameter, size distribution and uniformity of drop were analyzed with variations of air/liquid mass flow ratio. The results show that the SMD increases with the liquid supply flow rate and decreases with the air supply velocity. The radial distribution of SMD shows the larger drops can diffuse farther to the boundary of spray. And the drop size range is found to be wider close to the spray boundary where the maximum SMD locates.

Diffusion coefficient is a critical parameter for predicting radiological source term(migration rate and flux of radionuclide) through given near field conditions in spent fuel or high level waste repository. The effect of exchangeable cation-$Na^+$ and $Ca^{2+} - on the diffusion of $I^- \;and^3H$ (as HTO) in compacted bentonite was examined using a through-diffusion method. Bentonite material used here was compacted to a density of 1.3 Mg/m$^3$, and Na-bentonite was saturated with a solution of 100 mol NaCl/m$^3$ and Ca-bentonite with 50 $mol\;CaCl_2$/m$^3$. The results show that effective diffusion coefficients are generally higher by a factor of two to five in Ca-than Na-clay. This is attributed to the larger particle size of Ca-compared to Na-bentonite; hence, Ca-bentonite has a greater proportion of relatively large pores, which make a greater contribution to mass transport than small pores. Although the nature of the exchangeable cation affects mass diffusion in compacted bentonite, the effect is small and not likely to influence performance assessment modeling of compacted bentonite-based barriers.

To ensure the safety of disposal facilities for radioactive waste, it is essential to quantitatively evaluate the performance of the waste disposal facilities by using safety assessment models. This paper addresses the development of the safety assessment model for the underground silo of Wolseong Low-and Immediate-Level Waste (LILW) disposal facility in Korea. As the simulated result, the nuclides diffused from the waste were kept inside the silo without the leakage of those while the integrity of the concrete is maintained. After the degradation of concrete, radionuclides migrate in the same direction as the groundwater flow by mainly advection mechanism. The release of radionuclides has a positive linear relationship with a half-life in the range of medium half-life. Additionally, the solidified waste form delays and reduces the migration of radionuclides through the interaction between the nuclides and the solidified medium. Herein, the phenomenon of this delay was implemented with the mass transfer coefficient of the flux node at numerical modeling. The solidification effects, which are delaying and reducing the leakage of nuclides, were maintained the integrity of the nuclides. This effect was decreased by increasing the half-life and the mass transfer coefficient of radionuclides.
