  • For the last half a century, Korea has been experienced rapid economic growth and industrialization development, however they cause serious problems that environment pollution and energy shortage are appeared, and the biggest problem that we are now confronted are required solutions through all over the world. Now, Korea's energy consumption is the 10th in the whole world. Among them, energy for buildings, about 25% in the whole Energy which spend in Korea, is very serious. Especially, the energy consumption of school buildings which have heating & cooling system according to improvements of educational environment are rapidly increasing. These features are explicit in the University, Because it has lots of colleges and facilities for lecture, experiment, and research. Especially, electric power consumption account for 75 percent of energy consumption in educational institutions. Accordingly, it is important to understand and analyze the pattern of electricity energy consumption which is used. This study attempts to appoint the place which is one of university and to investigate the characteristics of energy consumption like electricity, gas, oil.

  • The Dual Unit Optimizer 2000 MWe (DUO2000) is put forward as a new design concept for large power nuclear plants to cope with economic and safety challenges facing the $21^{st}$ century green and sustainable energy industry. DUO2000 is home to two nuclear steam supply systems (NSSSs) of the Optimized Power Reactor 1000 MWe (OPR1000)-like pressurized water reactor (PWR) in single containment so as to double the capacity of the plant. The idea behind DUO may as well be extended to combining any number of NSSSs of PWRs or pressurized heavy water reactors (PHWRs), or even boiling water reactors (BWRs). Once proven in water reactors, the technology may even be expanded to gas cooled, liquid metal cooled, and molten salt cooled reactors. With its in-vessel retention external reactor vessel cooling (IVR-ERVC) as severe accident management strategy, DUO can not only put the single most querulous PWR safety issue to an end, but also pave the way to very promising large power capacity while dispensing with the huge redesigning cost for Generation III+ nuclear systems. Five prototypes are presented for the DUO2000, and their respective advantages and drawbacks are considered. The strengths include, but are not necessarily limited to, reducing the cost of construction by decreasing the number of containment buildings from two to one, minimizing the cost of NSSS and control systems by sharing between the dual units, and lessening the maintenance cost by uniting the NSSS, just to name the few. The latent threats are discussed as well.

  • Electron beam (EB) and Gas tungsten arc (TIG) welds were performed on 12.7 mm thick Ti-6Al-4V plate (ASTM Titanium Grade 5). Charpy-V toughness and hardness, as well as, microstructure of the welds and penetration from the macrostructure were studied. It appears that by EB welding rather smaller $\beta$-grains than with TIG welding can be obtained. Next to the fusion line the $\beta$-grain size in the HAZ was 50 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$l while in the weld metal it was 150 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. Charpy-V toughness of the EB weld metal was equal or even better to that of base metal, which shows that the $\alpha$-martensite per se is not particularly brittle if only the grain size is fine enough. This is similar to behavior of low carbon martensite in steel. The grain size was studied with light optical and scanning electron (SEM) microscopes. Thus for products, for products which can be manufactured automatically with very narrow fit, the EB welding of Ti-6Al-4V appears to yield satisfactory toughness without any complex post weld heat treatment. ill this study as in earlier studies the TIG welds gave lower toughness than that of the base material due to the higher heat input and slower cooling as compared to EB welding.

  • When $N_2$was used as shielding gas during the formation of Ti surface-alloyed layer by irradiation of $CO_2$laser beam on steel, TiN and F$e_2$Ti were formed regardness of carbon-content in steel. When Ti content was increased in low carbon-content steel, formation of martensitic structure was suppressed due to increase of critical cooling rate for martensitic transformation. In case of high-carbon steel, even though Ti content was about 1.5% in alloyed layer, hardness was increased by formation of martensitic structure instead of ferrite. In addition to that structure, hardness was incrreased further by precipitation of TiC in Ti alloyed-layer of high carbon-steel.

  • The function of the thermal shield(TS) is to eliminate the thermal radiation from the room temperature side to the coil temperature(4.5K) region so as to reduce the thermal load on the He refrigerator. The TS is composed of multilayer insulation(MLI) which is coated very thin aluminum on the insulating material, cryopanel which is cooled by cold gaseous He, and supports which stand the cryopanel and MLI on the room temperature part. The thermal shield for the TF coils and PF coils has been located between the coils and vacuum vessel. The thermal shielding cryopanel is cooled under 80 K by a forced flow of helium gas using cooling pipes on the cryopanel.

  • We develop a parallel cosmological hydrodynamic simulation code designed for the study of formation and evolution of cosmological structures. The gravitational force is calculated using the TreePM method and the hydrodynamics is implemented based on the smoothed particle hydrodynamics. The initial displacement and velocity of simulation particles are calculated according to second-order Lagrangian perturbation theory using the power spectra of dark matter and baryonic matter. The initial background temperature is given by Recfast and the temperature uctuations at the initial particle position are assigned according to the adiabatic model. We use a time-limiter scheme over the individual time steps to capture shock-fronts and to ease the time-step tension between the shock and preshock particles. We also include the astrophysical gas processes of radiative heating/cooling, star formation, metal enrichment, and supernova feedback. We test the code in several standard cases such as one-dimensional Riemann problems, Kelvin-Helmholtz, and Sedov blast wave instability. Star formation on the galactic disk is investigated to check whether the Schmidt-Kennicutt relation is properly recovered. We also study global star formation history at different simulation resolutions and compare them with observations.

  • Ac, dc and impulse dielectric strengths of $LN_2$ at 0.1MPa were investigated experimentally, referring to the behavior of thermally induced bubble, which might be generated at quenching condition of immerged-cooling superconducting devices. The experimental results show that the bubble shape under electric field stress depends significantly on the applied voltage waveform. With ac voltage, the breakdown voltage of $LN_2$ falls suddenly near to one of the saturated gas at the threshold heater power of boiling onset. In control to this, the reduction of impulse breakdown voltage with heater peter is gradual and the time to breakdown depends on the existence of thermal bubble. These breakdown characteristics can be explained satisfactorily by the bubble behavior under electric fields.

  • Recently the ozone generation system is well used for cleaning the contaminated water by using the strong oxidization effects of ozone. In this paper the concentration, yield and generation quantity of the ozone by the Surface-Silent Discharge According to the Length of Coaxial Electrode is described. The electrodes composed of 3 electrodes-2 gaps are coaxial type and the ozone generation tube were designed and fabricated from the point of view of the energy efficiency, stability and easy control. To investigate the ozone generation dependency on electrode length, a few discharge tubes with different lengths were fabricated. The experimental equipments were provided with cooling system and dehumidifier for the many testing conditions. The main results show that the concentration, yield and generation quantity of ozone are improved by decreasing gas temperatures and increasing electrode lengths.

  • LiCoO$_2$ as the cathode activity material for lithium secondary battery was prepared from a homogeneously mixed powder of LiNO$_3$/Co by SHS process under argon gas. The characteristics of powder including electrochemical properties were investigated according to various reaction conditions. The reaction temperature/velocity and the size of LiCoO$_2$ were controlled by Li/Co molar ratio and a cooling rate of the specimen, respectively. The maximum discharge capacity was 145 mAh/g on 1.05 Li/Co molar ratio and the relatively stable cycling characteristic with 6.4% of capacity fading was obtained after 10th charging-discharging test.

  • The present study investigates the effects of rib arrangements and aspect ratios of a rectangular duct simulating the cooling passage of a gas turbine blade. Two different V-shaped rib configurations are tested with the aspect ratios (W/H) of 3 to 6.82. One is the continuous V-shaped rib configuration with $60^{\circ}$ attack angle, and the other is the discrete V-shaped rib configuration with $45^{\circ}$ attack angle. The square ribs with the pitch to height ratio of 10.0 are installed on the test section in a parallel arrangement for both rib configurations. Reynolds numbers based on the hydraulic diameter are changed from 10,000 to 30,000. A naphthalene sublimation method is used to measure local heat/mass transfer coefficients. For the continuous V-shaped rib configuration, two pairs of counter-rotating vortices are generated in a duct, and high transfer region is formed at the center of the ribbed walls of the duct. However, for the discrete V-shaped rib configuration with $45^{\circ}$ attack angle, complex secondary flow patterns are generated in the duct due to its geometric feature, and more uniform heat/mass transfer distributions are obtained for all tested cases
