The accurate measurement of critical heat flux (CHF) in flow boiling is important for the safety requirement of the nuclear power plant to prevent sharp degradation of the convective heat transfer between the surface of the fuel rod cladding and the reactor coolant. In this paper, a System Engineering approach is used to develop a model that predicts the CHF using machine learning. The model is built using artificial neural network (ANN). The model is then trained, tested and validated using pre-existing database for different flow conditions. The Talos library is used to tune the model by optimizing the hyper parameters and selecting the best network architecture. Once developed, the ANN model can predict the CHF based solely on a set of input parameters (pressure, mass flux, quality and hydraulic diameter) without resorting to any physics-based model. It is intended to use the developed model to predict the DNBR under a large break loss of coolant accident (LBLOCA) in APR1400. The System Engineering approach proved very helpful in facilitating the planning and management of the current work both efficiently and effectively.

This study examined the efficacy of various chlorinating agents in partitioning light water reactor spent fuel, with the aim of optimizing the chlorination process. Through thermodynamic equilibrium calculations, we assessed the outcomes of employing MgCl₂, NH₄Cl, and Cl₂ as chlorinating agents. A comparison was drawn between using a single agent and a sequential approach involving all three agents (MgCl₂, NH₄Cl, and Cl₂). Following heat treatment, the utilization of MgCl₂ as the sole chlorinating agent resulted in a moderate separation. Specifically, this method yielded a solid separation with 96.9% mass retention, 31.7% radioactivity, and 44.2% decay heat, relative to the initial spent fuel. In contrast, the sequential application of the chlorinating agents following heat treatment led to a final solid separation characterized by 93.1% mass retention, 5.1% radioactivity, and 15.4% decay heat, relative to the original spent fuel. The findings underscore the potential effectiveness of a sequential chlorination strategy for partitioning spent fuel. This approach holds promise as a standalone technique or as a complementary process alongside other partitioning processes such as pyroprocessing. Overall, our findings contribute to the advancement of spent fuel management strategies.

The objective of this study was to examine whether a gerotor pump used in a transmission could be converted into an electric vehicle thermal management system pump using a virtual design environment. To achieve this objective, we first built an environment that could analyze the performance of a gerotor pump in heat transfer fluid. Flow rate, pressure, and volumetric efficiency were then analyzed when using heat transfer fluid in a gerotor pump. Finally, how large the displacement volume of the pump should be designed when using a heat transfer fluid other than oil was determined. Based on results of this study, it is expected that gerotor pumps will be applied to new business fields such as electric vehicle cooling systems.

Background: Heat stress adversely affects the physiological and metabolic status, and the productive performance of buffalo. Methods: The present study was conducted to explicate the effect of misting and wallowing cooling strategies during heat stress in lactating Murrah buffalo. The study was conducted for three months (May-July) of which first two months were hot dry and last month was hot humid. Eighteen lactating buffaloes, offered the same basal diet, were blocked by days in milk, milk yield and parity, and then randomly allocated to three treatments: negative control (no cooling), cooling by misting, and cooling by wallowing. Results: The results showed higher (P < 0.05) milk yield in buffaloes of misting and wallowing group compared to control during the experimental period however wallowing was found more (P < 0.05) effective during July (hot humid period). Both the treatments resulted into significant (P < 0.05) reduction in rectal temperature (RT) and respiratory rate (RR) compared to control animals during study period whereas wallowing was found to be effective on pulse rate (PR) only during July. Both treatments were resulted in mitigating the heat stress mediated decrease in packed cell volume (PCV), lymphocytopnoea and neutrophilia whereas decrease in total erythrocyte count (TEC) and monocytes was only mitigated by wallowing. Heat load induced alteration in serum creatinine and sodium concentration was significantly (P < 0.05) ameliorated by misting and wallowing whereas aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase and superoxide dismutase activity, and reactive oxygen species concentration could be normalized neither by misting nor by wallowing. The significant (P < 0.05) increment in serum cortisol and prolactin levels observed in June and July period in control animals was significantly (P < 0.05) prevented by misting and wallowing. Conclusions: It can be concluded that misting and wallowing were equally effective in May and June (hot dry period) whereas wallowing was more effective during hot humid period in preventing a decline in milk production and maintaining physiological, metabolic, endocrine and redox homeostasis.

The architecture of the Fuel Thermal Management System (FTMS) in a commercial aircraft engine was built to model and simulate the fuel system. The study shows the thermal interactions between the fuel and engine lubrication oil through the mission profile of a high bypass ratio, two-spool turbofan engine. Fuel temperature was monitored as it flowed through each sub-component of the fuel system during the mission. The heat load in the fuel system strongly depended on the fuel flow rate, and was significantly increased for the periods of cruise and descent with decrease of fuel flow rate, rather than for the periods of take-off. Due to the thermal interaction in the pump housing, the fuel temperature at the outlet of the low-pressure pump was increased (4.0, 9.2, and 30.0) % over the case without thermal interaction for take-off, cruise, and descent, respectively.

본 연구는 일반 기상 측정에서 에너지 수지를 구할 때 이용되는 지중열류 값과 토양 내 10 cm 깊이에서 측정한 토양온도를 활용하여 태양 복사에너지와 지표면 복사 에너지의 도달과 분배에 중요한 역할을 하는 토양표면의 온도를 예측하고자 수행하였다. 2003년 6월 10일부터 6월 24일까지 측정한 지중열류와 토양온도 그래프에서 토양온도나 지중열류는 주기성을 나타내며 일중 최저 지중열류와 최고 토양온도 사이에는 위상편차가 존재한다. 토심 5 cm에서 측정하여 시간별로 평균한 토양온도와 지중열류 사이에는 2시간의 시간지연이 존재하며 토양온도와 시 공간상에서의 지중열류는 정의 상관관계를 보였다. 이는 단위체적 당 열용량과 깊이에 따른 열량의 변화율이 태양에너지와 지표면 복사를 통한 지중열류에 비례한다는 것을 의미한다. 예측된 토양 표면온도는 시간별로 평균하였을 때 그 평균온도가 $20^{\circ}C$를 넘어 여름철의 기온을 반영하였으며 모양도 주기함수 형태를 보였다. 진폭은 $4.5^{\circ}C$로서 10 cm 깊이에서의 진폭인 $3.4^{\circ}C$보다 $1.1^{\circ}C$ 높았으며 최저온도가 나타난 시간은 토양표면의 경우는 오전 8시, 10 cm 깊이에서는 오전 9시였으며 최고온도가 나타난 시간은 토양표면은 16시, 10 cm 깊이는 19시이었다. 시간별로 평균하지 않았을 때의 최고와 최저온도는 각각 33.2, $16.5^{\circ}C$ 였으며, 토양표면온도 분포는 $15-20^{\circ}C$가 5.3%, $20-25^{\circ}C$가 65.6%, $25-30^{\circ}C$가 28.1%, $30-35^{\circ}C$가 1%로 대부분의 온도는 $20-25^{\circ}C$ 범위의 값을 나타냈다. 예측된 토양표면온도의 검증을 위해 토양표면 온도와 10 cm 깊이의 토양온도를 가지고 계산한 산술 평균과 토심 5 cm에서 측정한 토양온도를 비교하였다. 또한, 그 과정을 통해 얻어진 추정회귀모형은 P값이 0.001보다 작아 유의성이 인정 되었다. 회귀모형의 결정계수는 0.968이었고 표준오차는 0.38로 예측된 토양표면온도는 추정 회귀모형에 의해 실제 값에 가깝게 추정할 수 있을 것이다.
