고분자전해질 연료전지(PEMFC)의 성능을 예측할 수 있는 empirical equation의 역할이 중요하게 대두되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 polarization curve에서 activation loss, ohmic loss, mass transfer loss 영역을 분리하였고, 현재까지 개발된 model 중 Kim의 model과 Hao의 model을 선정하여 각 영역의 fitting을 시행하였다. 온도, 압력, 산소 농도 및 막 두께를 운전변수로 설정하여 조건 변화에 대한 각 loss의 변화를 비교하였다. 기존 model은 전반적으로 좋은 fitting 정확도를 보였지만, 분리된 loss 영역에서는 부정확한 fitting 결과를 보이기도 하였다. 연료전지 성능 예측의 정확도를 개선하기 위하여 converge coefficient를 도입한 새로운 model을 제안하였다. 본 연구에서 제안한 model을 연료전지 성능 예측에 적용한 경우에 신뢰도 평가에서 개선된 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 연료가 비등점 이상의 고온으로 가열된 경우 오리피스 인젝터를 통해 분사되는 특성을 실험한 결과를 정리하였다. 크기가 다른 오리피스 인젝터 3종을 이용하여 3, 5, 10 bar의 분사압력을 가할 때 온도범위 $50{\sim}270^{\circ}C$에서 유량계수(${\alpha}$)를 측정하였다. 측정된 유량계수는 연료온도가 $180^{\circ}C$ 이하 영역에서는 점진적으로 감소하였으나 비등점인 $187^{\circ}C$를 넘어가면서 급격히 감소하였다. 비등점보다 높은 연료온도에서의 유량계수 감소 기울기는 분사압력에 따라 다른데, 특히 분사압력이 낮을수록 비등의 영향이 크게 작용하므로 더 급격한 특성을 보였다. 또한, 직경이 큰 인젝터의 유량계수가 더 크고, 낮은 연료온도 영역에서 난류-층류 천이현상으로 보이는 유량계수의 점프현상이 관찰되었다. 유량계수를 캐비테이션 수($K_c$)에 대하여 도시한 결과 인젝터의 크기가 작을 때는 연료 비등으로 인한 분사특성이 분사압력과 무관한 일정한 값을 가지는 것을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 고온으로 가열된 연료가 다양한 종류의 스월 인젝터를 통해 분사되는 경우 분사 특성의 변화를 실험적으로 확인하였다. 3종의 스월 인젝터로 3 ~ 10 bar의 분사압력을 가하면서 연료온도가 $50{\sim}270^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 변화하는 경우 인젝터의 유량계수(${\alpha}$)를 계측하였다. cavitation number ($K_c$)에 대한 ${\alpha}$ 변화 특성을 확인한 결과 ${\alpha}$ 변동 특성이 오리피스 직경과 스월러 형상에 모두 영향을 받았고, 비등에 의한 연료분사 특성을 스월러 유로와 오리피스 유로 면적비인 AR과 관련지어 살펴 본 결과에서는 AR이 커질수록 비등 영향은 더 지연되고 비등의 영향이 미치기 시작하면 ${\alpha}$ 감소 기울기는 더 큰 것으로 확인되었다.

In this work, linear dynamics of a circulating fluid-fueled subcritical reactor system with temperature feedback and external neutron source was modeled and examined. In a circulating fluid-fuel system, the stable region is slightly moved by a circulation fluid effect. The effects of subcriticality and temperature feedback coefficient on the reactor stability were tested by calculating frequency response of neutron density originated from reactivity perturbation or external source oscillation of system. The amplitude transfer function has a different shape near subcritical region due to the exponential term in the transfer function. The results of the study show that at a slightly subcritical region, low frequency oscillation in accelerator current or reactivity can be amplified depending on the temperature feedback. However, as the subcriticality increases, the oscillation becomes negligible regardless of the magnitude of the temperature feedback coefficient.

The present work presents analysis results of the core design optimizations for an annular, prismatic High Temperature Gas-cooled Reactor (HTGR) with passive decay-heat removal features. Its thermal power is 100 MW_t and the operating temperature is 850 ℃ (1123 K). The neutronic calculations are done for the core with heterogeneous distribution of fuel and burnable poison particles (BPPs) to flatten the reactivity swing and power peaking factor (PPF) during the reactor operation as well as for control rod (CR) insertion into the core to restrain a small excess reactivity less than 1$. The next step of the study is done for evaluation of core reactivity coefficient of temperature.

The design of a nuclear reactor core requires basic thermal-hydraulic information concerning the heat transfer regime at which onset of nucleate boiling (ONB) will occur, the pressure drop and flow rate through the reactor core, the temperature and power distributions in the reactor core, the departure from nucleate boiling (DNB), the condition for onset of flow instability (OFI), in addition to, the critical velocity beyond which the fuel elements will collapse. These values depend on coolant velocity, fuel element geometry, inlet temperature, flow direction and water column above the top of the reactor core. Enough safety margins to ONB, DNB and OFI must-emphasized. A heat transfer package is used for calculating convection heat transfer coefficient in single phase turbulent, transition and laminar regimes. The main objective of this paper is to study the possibility of power upgrading of WWR-S research reactor from 2 to 10 MW_th. This study presents a one-dimensional mathematical model (axial direction) for steady-state thermal-hydraulic design and analysis of the upgraded WWR-S reactor in which two types of plate fuel elements are employed. FOR-CONV computer program is developed for the needs of the power upgrading of WWR-S reactor up to 10 MW_th.

In this study, the ring tensile test at high temperature was suggested to evaluate the hoop tensile properties of small tube such as the cladding in the nuclear reactor Using the Arsene's ring model, the ring tensile test was performed and the test data were calibrated. From the result of the ring test with strain gauge and the numerical analysis with 1/8 model, LCRR(load-displacement conversion relationship of ring specimen) was determined. We could obtain the hoop tensile properties by means of applying the LCRR to the calibrated data of the ring tensile test. A few difference was observed in view of the shape of fractured surface and the fracture mechanism between at the high temperature and at the room temperature.

In these days the hot water circulating Ondol using the fossil fuel boiler is the heating system for the most of the Korean residents. Then it is installed without the heat storage medium in the Ondol heating layer, but the Korean traditional Ondol had been composed with the heat storage medium. The Ondol room without heat storage medium could not be comfortable because the room air temperature is not only changed unstably but also it has a defect too much fuel consumption. Therefore in this study the heat pump-latent heat storage Ondol as the new type of Ondol system was developed to solve these problems mentioned above, and the COP of the heat pump (Coefficient Of Performance), the latent heat storage characteristics in the new type of Ondol system and the temperature variation in the Ondol room with the ambient temperature were analyzed.

This paper presents the variations obtained in heat flow rate and engine performance of a four-stroke cycle Diesel engine when there were changes in the temperature of cooling water, compression ratio, injection timing of fuel, and other factors. Heat dissipation of engine cylinder was calculated by the heat transfer coefficient of Nusselt's empirical equation and the analysis of distribution of temperature in cylinder barrel was obtained by the finite element method of two-dimensional steady state heat conduction. In this experiment, the out side temperature of cylinder liner was measured by the data logger, and the temperature distribution of liner was computed by the analysis of triangular finite element model under the assumption due to surface heat flux of cylinder inner surface. The results obtained by this study are as follows. Under the given operating condition, the temperature distribution of cylinder liner by using finite element method shows that the mean temperature of barrel is in accordance with the experimental results of Eichelberg and temperature difference is lower than 4.23.deg. C. The heat dissipation of engine decrease in accordance with the decrease of piston mean velocity, compression ratio, and the increase of coolant temperature. Influence on the delay of injection timing of fuel brings about the decrease of heat rejection over the cylinder at constant test conditions.

This study presents both experimental and numerical investigation of ignition delay time of n-heptane and n-butanol binary fuel. The $O_2$ concentration in the mixture was set to 9-10% to make high exhaust gas recirculation( EGR) rate condition which leads low NOx and soot emission. Experiments were performed using a rapid compression machine(RCM) at compressed pressure 20bar, several compressed temperature and three equivalence ratios(0.4, 1.0, 1.5). In addition, a numerical study on the ignition delay time was performed using CHEMKIN codes to validate experimental results and predict chemical species in the combustion process. The results showed that the ignition delay time increased with increasing the n-butanol fraction due to a decrease of oxidation of n-heptane at the low temperature. Moreover, all of the binary fuel mixtures showed the combustion characteristics of n-heptane such as cool flame mode at low temperature and negative-temperature-coefficient(NTC) behavior. Due to the effect of high EGR rate condition, the operating region is reduced at lean condition and the ignition delay time sharply increased compared with no EGR condition.
