In spite of considerable progress in the recent decades, there still remain large uncertainties in numerical cloud models. In this study, effects of uncertainty in terminal velocity of graupel on cloud simulation are investigated. For this, a two-dimensional bin microphysics cloud model is employed, and deep convective clouds are simulated under idealized environmental conditions. In the sensitivity experiments, the terminal velocity of graupel is changed to twice and half the velocity in the control experiment. In the experiment with fast graupel terminal velocity, a large amount of graupel mass is present in the lower layer. On the other hand, in the experiment with slow graupel terminal velocity, almost all graupel mass remains in the upper layer. The graupel size distribution exhibits that as graupel terminal velocity increases, in the lower layer, the number of graupel particles increases and the peak radius in the graupel mass size distribution decreases. In the experiment with fast graupel terminal velocity, the vertical velocity is decreased mainly due to a decrease in riming that leads to a decrease in latent heat release and an increase in evaporative cooling via evaporation, sublimation, and melting that leads to more stable atmosphere. This decrease in vertical velocity causes graupel particles to fall toward the ground easier. By the changes in graupel terminal velocity, the accumulated surface precipitation amount differs up to about two times. This study reveals that the terminal velocity of graupel should be estimated more accurately than it is now.

This study focused on examining the possibility for recycling of Fe-Si electric sheet. We manufactured Fe-6.5Si mother alloy using by Fe-Si electric sheet scrap for transformer core materials. And then, soft magnetic alloy powder which diameter and shape were $45{\sim}150{\mu}m$ and sphere type was prepared by gas atomization process. As we compared to commercial Fe-6.5Si powder, its diameter distribution and microstructure of recycled powder was a similar. To investigate the possibility of reusing the soft magnetic composite sheet for electronics, recycled powder was treated to have a high aspect ratio (AR), and we finally obtained the 65~66 AR and $2.3{\mu}m$ thickness powder. To release the residual stress of powder, heat treatment was conducted under $300{\sim}400^{\circ}C$, $N_2$ gas. And then, soft magnetic sheet was made by tape casting process using by those powders. After the density and permeability of tape was measured, and we confirmed that the recycled Fe-Si electric sheet scrap was possible to reuse the soft magnetic materials of electronics.

The effect of alloying element Ca (0, 1, and 2 wt%) on corrosion resistance and bioactivity of the as-received and anodized surface of rolled plate AM60 alloys was investigated. A plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) was carried out to form anodic oxide film in $0.5mol\;dm^{-3}\;Na_3PO_4$ solution. The corrosion behavior was studied by polarization measurements while the in vitro bioactivity was tested by soaking the specimens in Simulated Body Fluid (1.5xSBF). Optical micrograph and elemental analysis of the substrate surfaces indicated that the number of intermetallic particles increased with Ca content in the alloys owing to the formation of a new phase $Al_2Ca$. The corrosion resistance of AM60 specimens improved only slightly by alloying with 2 wt% Ca which was attributed to the reticular distribution of $Al_2Ca$ phase existed in the alloy that might became barrier for corrosion propagation across grain boundaries. Corrosion resistance of the three alloys was significantly improved by coating the substrates with anodic oxide film formed by PEO. The film mainly composed of magnesium phosphate with thickness in the range $30-40{\mu}m$. The heat resistant phase of $Al_2Ca$ was believed to retard the plasma discharge during anodization and, hence, decreased the film thickness of Ca-containing alloys. The highest apatite forming ability in 1.5xSBF was observed for AM60-1Ca specimens (both substrate and anodized) that exhibited more degradation than the other two alloys as indicated by surface observation. The increase of surface roughness and the degree of supersaturation of 1.5xSBF due to dissolution of Mg ions from the substrate surface or the release of film compounds from the anodized surface are important factors to enhance deposition of Ca-P compound on the specimen surfaces.

The effect of equivalence ratio and fuel/air mixing quality on the phase-resolved gas temperatures at different phases of the oscillating pressure cycle was experimentally investigated. An atmospheric pressure, optically accessible and laboratory-scale dump combustor operating on methane with heat release rate of 1.59kW was used. Temperature measurements were made using coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS) at several spatial locations fur typical unstable combustion conditions. Analysis was conducted using parameters such as phase-resolved averaged temperature, normalized standard deviation and temperature probability distribution functions (PDFs). Also the probability on the occurrence of high temperature (over 1900K) was investigated to get the information on the perturbation of equivalence ratio and NOx emission characteristics. It was shown that most of temperature histograms exhibit Gaussian profile which has short breadth of temperature fluctuation at equivalence ratio of 0.6, while beta profile was predominant for the cases of other equivalence ratios (${\Phi}$=0.55, 0.50). It was also shown that phase-resolved averaged temperature oscillated in phase with pressure cycle, while normalized standard deviations which represent temporal turbulent intensity of temperature showed nearly constant value around 0.1. The characteristics on the occurrence of high temperature also displayed periodic wave form which was very similar to the pressure signal. And the amplitude of this profile went larger as the fuel/air mixing quality became poorer. These also provided additional information on the perturbation of equivalence ratio at flame as well as NOx emission characteristics.

본 연구는 터널내 화재 발생시 종류식 환기가 연소율 변화에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위하여 Froude scaling에 의해 1/20크기로 축소한 모형화재 실험을 수행하였다. 화원으로는 $8.5cm{\sim}14.5cm$의 메탄올을 사용하였으며 발열량은 $3.57{\sim}10.95kW$이다. 연소율은 로드셀을 이용하여 산출하였고, 연기거동을 파악하기 위하여 K형 열전대를 이용하여 온도분포를 측정하였다. 풍동은 터널의 한쪽부분과 연결하였고, 터널 공간의 배연속도를 제어하기 위하여 풍동의 전압을 조절하였다. 메탄올 화재인 경우 배연속도가 증가할수록 냉각효과로 인하여 연소율은 감소하였으며, 또한 같은 무차원속도(V)일때 화원 크기가 커짐에 따라 연소율은 감소하였다.

본 연구에서는 1995년부터 2008년까지 14년간 국내에서 발생한 5.100건의 가스사고사례를 수집하여 Database를 구축하였으며, 이를 근거로 세부형태 및 원인별로 분석하였다. Poisson 분석법을 적용하여 전체 도시가스사고를 분석한 결과, 향후 5년 동안 "취급부주의-폭발-배관"의 항목의 사고발생확률이 가장 높았으며, "연결이완부식-누출-배관"의 경우는 가장 작은 발생 확률을 나타내었다. 또한 LPG 기화기 관련 사고만을 분석한 결과는 "LPG-기화기-화재"가 가장 높은 사고발생확률을 나타냈으며, "LPG-기화기-제품결함"이 가장 낮은 사고발생확률인 것으로 분석되었다. 아울러 Jet fire를 수반하는 외국의 LPG 사고를 비교 분석한 결과 국내의 경우와 마찬가지로 설비적 결함인 액유출장치 및 열교환기의 결함이 Jet fire를 일으키는 주요 원인으로 분석되었지만 향후 5년간 사고발생횟수는 "LPG-설비적결함-Jet fire" 항목이 가장 많았고, "LPG-설비적결함-Vapor Cloud" 항목은 가장 사고발생확률이 높은 것으로 분석되었다. 향후 가스 사고 발생 예측프로그램에 Poisson 분포 이론을 접목함으로서 일관성 있는 기준제시 및 현장에서 실제적으로 사용할 수 있는 도구로 사용되길 기대한다.

PET병은 프리폼(preform)을 사출성형한 후 이를 블로우 성형기에 이송시켜 블로잉하여 성형된다. 내열을 요구하는 병 즉, 주스나 곡류음료용 PET병은 목 부분(neck 또는 thread 부분)에 내열성을 부여하기 위해 프리폼 성형 후 블로잉하기 전에 목 부분을 결정화시킨다. 그러나 사출성형품에 존재하는 잔류응력이 결정화를 방해하기 때문에 프리폼 목 부분의 충분한 결정화를 위해 사출 후 프리폼을 열처리(annealing)한다. 이 열처리는 잔류응력을 해소시키기 위해서 수행하는데 사출 시 성형조건의 최적화를 통하여 잔류응력을 최소화한다면 열처리 시간을 단축시킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 사출 시 프리폼에 형성되는 잔류응력을 최소화하고 치수정밀도를 유지하기 위한 연구로 CAE 해석을 통하여 최적 사출조건을 제시하였다. 성형조건별 잔류응력 및 수축률의 변화를 관찰하고 이를 최소화시키는 성형조건을 찾기 위해 실험계획법을 적용하였다. 사출온도, 보압크기, 그리고 사출시간을 인자로 하여 최적의 성형조건을 결정하였다. 잔류응력에 영향을 주는 인자는 사출온도와 사출시간 순으로 나타났고 수축률에 영향을 주는 인자는 사출온도로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 결정한 최적 조건에서 최대 잔류응력, 잔류응력의 분포, 그리고 수축률이 기존 조건에 비해 각각 22%, 40%, 그리고 25% 감소하였다.

Roy Huddle, having invented the coated particle in Harwell 1957, stated in the early 1970s that we know now everything about particles and coatings and should be going over to deal with other problems. This was on the occasion of the Dragon fuel performance information meeting London 1973: How wrong a genius be! It took until 1978 that really good particles were made in Germany, then during the Japanese HTTR production in the 1990s and finally the Chinese 2000-2001 campaign for HTR-10. Here, we present a review of history and present status. Today, good fuel is measured by different standards from the seventies: where $9*10^{-4}$ initial free heavy metal fraction was typical for early AVR carbide fuel and $3*10^{-4}$ initial free heavy metal fraction was acceptable for oxide fuel in THTR, we insist on values more than an order of magnitude below this value today. Half a percent of particle failure at the end-of-irradiation, another ancient standard, is not even acceptable today, even for the most severe accidents. While legislation and licensing has not changed, one of the reasons we insist on these improvements is the preference for passive systems rather than active controls of earlier times. After renewed HTGR interest, we are reporting about the start of new or reactivated coated particle work in several parts of the world, considering the aspects of designs/ traditional and new materials, manufacturing technologies/ quality control quality assurance, irradiation and accident performance, modeling and performance predictions, and fuel cycle aspects and spent fuel treatment. In very general terms, the coated particle should be strong, reliable, retentive, and affordable. These properties have to be quantified and will be eventually optimized for a specific application system. Results obtained so far indicate that the same particle can be used for steam cycle applications with $700-750^{\circ}C$ helium coolant gas exit, for gas turbine applications at $850-900^{\circ}C$ and for process heat/hydrogen generation applications with $950^{\circ}C$ outlet temperatures. There is a clear set of standards for modem high quality fuel in terms of low levels of heavy metal contamination, manufacture-induced particle defects during fuel body and fuel element making, irradiation/accident induced particle failures and limits on fission product release from intact particles. While gas-cooled reactor design is still open-ended with blocks for the prismatic and spherical fuel elements for the pebble-bed design, there is near worldwide agreement on high quality fuel: a $500{\mu}m$ diameter $UO_2$ kernel of 10% enrichment is surrounded by a $100{\mu}m$ thick sacrificial buffer layer to be followed by a dense inner pyrocarbon layer, a high quality silicon carbide layer of $35{\mu}m$ thickness and theoretical density and another outer pyrocarbon layer. Good performance has been demonstrated both under operational and under accident conditions, i.e. to 10% FIMA and maximum $1600^{\circ}C$ afterwards. And it is the wide-ranging demonstration experience that makes this particle superior. Recommendations are made for further work: 1. Generation of data for presently manufactured materials, e.g. SiC strength and strength distribution, PyC creep and shrinkage and many more material data sets. 2. Renewed start of irradiation and accident testing of modem coated particle fuel. 3. Analysis of existing and newly created data with a view to demonstrate satisfactory performance at burnups beyond 10% FIMA and complete fission product retention even in accidents that go beyond $1600^{\circ}C$ for a short period of time. This work should proceed at both national and international level.
