Thermal hydraulic (TH) analysis of nuclear power reactors is utmost important. In this way, the numerical codes that preparing TH data in reactor core are essential. In this paper, a subchannel analysis of a Russian pressurized water reactor (WWER1000) core with enhanced numerical code is carried out. For this, in fluid domain, the mass, axial and lateral momentum and energy conservation equations for desired control volume are solved, numerically. In the solid domain, the cylindrical heat transfer equation for calculation of radial temperature profile in fuel, gap and clad with finite difference and finite element solvers are considered. The dependence of material properties to fuel burnup with Calza-Bini fuel-gap model is implemented. This model is coupled with Isotope Generation and Depletion Code (ORIGEN2.1). The possibility of central hole consideration in fuel pellet is another advantage of this work. In addition, subchannel to subchannel and subchannel to rod connection data in hexagonal fuel assembly geometry could be prepared, automatically. For a demonstration of code capability, the steady state TH analysis of a the WWER1000 core is compromised with Thermal-hydraulic analysis code (COBRA-EN). By thermal hydraulic parameters averaging Fuel Assembly-to-Fuel Assembly method, the one sixth (symmetry) of the Boushehr Nuclear Power Plant (BNPP) core with regular subchannels are modeled. Comparison between the results of the work and COBRA-EN demonstrates some advantages of the presented code. Using the code the thermal modeling of the fuel rods with considering the fission gas generation would be possible. In addition, this code is compatible with neutronic codes for coupling. This method is faster and more accurate for symmetrical simulation of the core with acceptable results.

본 연구는 호기발효 및 펠렛 처리에 따른 육계분 단일물의 발효온도 및 물리화학적 성분 변화를 구명하고, 육계분 단일 발효물 펠렛 처리 시 경제적인 소형 펠렛기의 이용 가능성을 평가하고자 실시되었다. 육계분의 호기발효 시 발효온도는 발효 4일째에 최고 68$^{\circ}C$에 달한 다음 이 후 서서히 떨어졌다. 육계분의 호기발효 처리는 화학적 성분 중 특히 유기물 성분을 감소시키고, 비소화성 단백질 성분(ADF-CP)을 증가시켰다. 소형 펠렛기 이용 시 육계분 단일 발효물의 성공적인 펠렛화를 위한 펠렛 die의 적정 직경은 8~18 mm 였고, 펠렛 전 원료의 적정 함수율은 20~25% 수준이었다. 펠렛 처리는 육계분 단일 발효물의 밀도(중량/부피)를 3배정도 증가시켰고, 수분을 유의하게 증발시켰으며, 일반 조성분의 유의한 변화를 초래하지는 않았고, 특히 비소화성 단백질 성분은 증가시켰다. 본 연구 결과는 육계분 단일물은 호기발효와 펠렛화를 통하여 영양성과 실용성이 높은 가축용 사료로 전환될 수 있음을 시사한다.

ZnO epilayer were synthesized by the pulesd laser deposition(PLD) process on $Al_2O_3$ substrate after irradiating the surface of the ZnO sintered pellet by the ArF(193nm) excimer laser. The epilayers of ZnO were achieved on sapphire ($Al_2O_3$)substrate at a temperature of $400^{\circ}C$. The crystalline structure of epilayer was investigated by the photoluminescence and double crystal X-ray diffraction (DCXD). The carrier density and mobility of ZnO epilayer measured with Hall effect by van der Pauw method are $8.27{\times}10^{16}\;cm^{-3}$ and $299\;{\textrm}cm^2/V.s$ at 293K. respectively. The temperature dependence of the energy band gap of the ZnO obtained from the absorption spectra was well described by the Varshni's relation, $E_g(T)\;=\;3.3973\;eV\;-\;(2.69{\times}10^{-4}\;eV/K)T^2/(T+463K)$. After the as-grown ZnO epilayer was annealed in Zn atmospheres, oxygen and vaccum the origin of point defects of ZnO atmospheres has been investigated by the photoluminescence(PL) at 10K. The native defects of $V_{zn},\;Vo,\;Zn_{int},\;and\;O_{int}$ obtained by PL measurements were classified as a donors or acceptors type. In addition, we concluded that the heat-treatment in the oxygen atmosphere converted ZnO thin films to an optical p-type. Also, we confirmed that vacuum in $ZnO/Al_2O_3$ did not form the native defects because vacuum in ZnO thin films existed in the form of stable bonds.

ZnO epilayer were synthesized by the pulsed laser deposition(PLD) process on $Al_2$ $O_3$substrate after irradiating the surface of the ZnO sintered pellet by the ArF(193 nm) excimer laser. The epilayers of ZnO were achieved on sapphire(A $l_2$ $O_3$) substrate at a temperature of 400 $^{\circ}C$. The crystalline structure of epilayer was investigated by the photoluminescence and double crystal X-ray diffraction(DCXD). The carrier density and mobility of ZnO epilayer measured with Hall effect by van der Pauw method are 8.27${\times}$$10^{16}$$cm^{-3}$ and 299 $\textrm{cm}^2$/Vㆍs at 293 K, respectively. The temperature dependence of the energy band gap of the ZnO obtained from the absorption spectra was well described by the Varshni's relation, $E_{g}$(T)= 3.3973 eV - (2.69 ${\times}$ 10$_{-4}$ eV/K) $T^2$(T＋463k). After the as-grown ZnO epilayer was annealed in Zn atmospheres, oxygen and vaccum the origin of point defects of ZnO atmospheres has been investigated by the photoluminescence(PL) at 10 K. The native defects of $V_{Zn}$ , $V_{o}$ , Z $n_{int}$, and $O_{int}$ obtained by PL measurements were classified as a donors or accepters type. In addition, we concluded that the heat-treatment in the oxygen atmosphere converted ZnO thin films to an optical p-type.

It has been suggested that probiotics could be useful for the prevention of symptomatic relapse in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Interleukin (IL)-8 has been well recognized as one of the pro-inflammatory cytokines that could trigger inflammation and epithelial barrier dysfunction. In this study, the anti-inflammatory effects of probiotics were investigated using a human epithelial cell line (HT-29). Probiotics from infant feces and kimchi were tested for their cytotoxicity and effects on adhesion to epithelial cells. The present results show that seven strains could form 70 % adhesion on HT-29. The probiotics used in this study did not affect HT-29 cell viability. To screen anti-inflammatory lactic acid bacteria, HT-29 cells were pretreated with live and heat-killed probiotics, and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) ($1{\mu}g/mL$) was then added to stimulate the cells. The cell culture supernatant was then used to measure IL-8 secretion by ELISA, and the cell pellet was used to determine IL-8 and toll-like receptor (TLR-4) mRNA expression levels by RT-PCR. Some probiotics (KJP421, KDK411, SRK414, E4191, KY21, and KY210) exhibited anti-inflammatory effects through the repression of IL-8 secretion from HT-29 cells. In particular, Lactobacillus salivarius E4191, originating from Egyptian infant feces, not only decreased IL-8 mRNA expression, but also decreased TLR-4 expression. These results indicate that Lactobacillus salivarius E4191 may have a protective effect in intestinal epithelial cells.

In this study, the effects of the compaction method for (Mg+2B) powders on the apparent density and superconducting properties of $MgB_2$ bulk superconductor were investigated. The raw powders used in this study were nano-sized boron (B) and spherical magnesium (Mg). A batch of a powder mixture of (Mg+2B) was put in a steel mold and uniaxially pressed at 1 ton or 3 tons into pellets. Another batch of the powder mixture was uniaxially pressed at 1 ton and then pressed isostatically at $1800kg/cm^2$ in the water chamber. All pellets were heat-treated at $650^{\circ}C$ for 1 h in flowing argon gas for the formation of $MgB_2$. The apparent density of powder compacts pressed at 3 ton was higher than that at 1 ton. The cold isostatic pressing (CIP) in a water chamber allowed further increase of the apparent density of powder compacts, which influenced the pellet density of the final products ($MgB_2$). The compaction methods (uniaxial pressing and CIP) did not affect the formation of $MgB_2$ and superconducting critical temperature ($T_c$) of $MgB_2$, but affected the critical current density ($J_c$) of $MgB_2$ significantly. The sample with the high apparent density showed high $J_c$ at 5 K and 20 K at applied magnetic fields (0-5 T).

This study aimed to investigate the effect of physicochemical properties and mix ratios of iron ore (oxide feed): coke (reductant) on the carbothermic reductions of iron ore. Coke size was fixed at ≤63 ㎛ while iron ore size varied between 150-63 ㎛ and ≤63 ㎛ respectively. Mix ratios were changed from 100:0 (reference) to 80:20 and 60:40 while the temperature, heating rate and soaking duration in muffle furnace were fixed at 1100 ℃, 10 ℃/min and 1 hour. Particle size analyzer, XRF, CHNS and XRD analyses were used for determination of raw feed characteristics. The occurrence of phase transformations from various forms of iron oxides to iron during the carbothermal reductions were identified through XRD profiles and supported with weight loss (%). XRF analysis proved that iron ore is of high grade with 93.4% of Fe₂O₃ content. Other oxides present in minor amounts are 2% Al₂O₃ and 1.8% SiO₂ with negligible amounts of other compounds such as MnO, K₂O and CuO. Composite pellet with finer size iron particles (≤63 ㎛) and higher carbon content of 60:40 exhibited 45.13% weight lost compared to 32.30% and 3.88% respectively for 80:20 and 100:0 ratios. It is evident that reduction reactions can only occur with the presence of coke, the carbon supply. The small weight loss of 3.88% at 100:0 ratio occurs due to the removal of moisture and volatiles and oxidations of iron ore. Higher carbon supply at 60:40 leads into better heat and mass transfer and diffusivity during carbothermic reductions. Overall, finer particle size and higher carbon supply improves reactivity and gas-solid interactions resulting in increased reductions and phase transformations.

전기로에서 고철(Scrap)의 용해과정에서 발생되는 분진량은 고철장입량의 약1.5%정도이며, 주로 백필터(Bag Filter)에서 포집된다. 전기로 제강분진의 주요한 구성원소인 아연(Zn)과 철(Fe)중에서 아연성분은, 제강분진에 탄소계의 환원재(코크스, 무연탄)와 석회석(C/S제어)을 첨가하여 Pellet형태로 가공한 후에 반응로(Rotary Kiln 또는 RHF)에 장입하여 환원, 휘발, 재산화의 단계적인 세부반응을 거쳐서, 60wt%Zn을 함유한 조산화아연(Crude Zinc Oxide)으로 회수된다. 한편 제강분진 중의 철(Fe)성분은, Fe-Base의 Clinker(2차부산물)라고 하는 고형물의 형태로 반응기로부터 배출된다. 기존의 Fe-Clinker의 처리방법은, 각국의 상황에 따라서 다양한 방안들이 시행되고 있는데, 대표적인 처리방법으로는 매립, 재활용(로반재, 콘크리트용 골재, 시멘트제조용 Fe-Source), 그 외에 다양한 처리방법들이 있다. 이들 방법들 중에서 매립의 경우는, 침출수에 의한 환경오염, 고가의 매립비용, Fe자원의 낭비 등의 이유로, 결코 바람직한 처리방법이라고 할 수는 없다. 그러나 Fe-Clinker중의 Fe성분을 전기로를 이용하여 직접적으로 재활용하는 방법에 대한 연구결과는 거의 찾아볼 수 없었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 Fe-Clinker중의 Fe성분을 보다 적극적으로 회수하기 위한 방법으로서, 먼저 Fe-Clinker를 분쇄하고 이어서 비중선별과 자력선별을 순차적으로 실시하여, Fe-성분이 농축된 조분(Coarse particle, >약10㎛)과 슬래그성분을 주로 함유한 미분(Fine particle, <약10㎛)으로 분리하였다. 이렇게 분리한 조분에 탄소계 환원제(코크스, 무연탄)와 점결재(전분)를 첨가하여 단광 Clinker를 제조하여, 전기로에 고철을 장입할 때에 소량(1~3wt%)의 단광Clinker를 함께 장입하여, 단광Clinker의 첨가재(가탄재, Fe-Source, 발열재 등으로서의 역할)로서의 사용가능성을 조사하였다. 그 결과, 비록 소량이지만, 전력원단위와 생산수율이 다소 향상되는 효과를 나타내었으며, 용융금속에 대한 가탄효과도 확인할 수 있었다.

최대 출력 3.5kW인 고주파에 의한 알곤 플라즈마 분위기에서 제작한 Fe1-xCox(x=0.2와 0.4)계와 25$\mu\textrm{m}$의 철 박막의 자기적인 성질을 상온에서의 X선 회절과 진동시료자력계를 이용한 자기이력곡선 측정 방법을 사용하여 연구하였다. arc로에서 제작된 시룐느 삼단계 처리 가공하였다. 첫째는 수압기로 9,000N/$\textrm{cm}^2$의 압력을 가하여 알약 형태로 만들었다. 이 단계는 압연기로 눌러 얇은 sheet로 만들었다. 삼단계는 시료는 질소 가스 분위기에서 90$0^{\circ}C$로 열처리하였다. 일단계 시료의 X선 회절결과는 시료가 균질이며 각 시료는 철과 동일한 bcc 결정구조를 갖는 단일결저상(single crystal phase)임을 보였다. 철 박막은 43 Oe의 항자력과 인가자기장에 대한 자화, 즉 초기 기울기는 0.328 emu/gOe를 나타냈다. 이단계 시료에서는 Co량이 증가함에 따라 항자력과 포화자화값은 증가하였다. 반면 초기 기울기는 감소하였다. 이는 항자력의 증가로 인해서 계면이동이 억제되었음을 의미한다. 삼단계 시료에서 두 시료 모두 포화자화값은 증가하였다. 반면 이들 시료의 항자력은 감소하였다. 3단계 시료의 포화자화의 열처리로 인한 시료의 X선 회절강도 변화와 연관이 있어 보인다. 또한 몇 개의 자기 매개변수를 단순모형을 써서 계산하여 다른값과 비교하였다.
