A two-dimensional thermal model of proton exchange membrane fuel cell with large active area is developed to investigate the performance of fuel cell with large active area over various thermal management conditions. The core sub-models of the two-dimensional thermal model are one-dimensional agglomerate structure electrochemical reaction model, one-dimensional water transport model, and a two-dimensional heat transfer model. Prior to carrying out the simulation, this study is contributed to set up the operating temperature of the fuel cell with large active area which is a maximum temperature inside the fuel cell considering durability of membrane electrolyte. The simulation results show that the operating temperature of the fuel cell and temperature distribution inside the fuel cell can affect significantly the total net power at extreme conditions. Results also show that the parasitic losses of balance of plant component should be precisely controlled to produce the maximum system power with minimum parasitic loss of thermal management system.

A numerical investigation has been carried out for a solar system, which consists of all glass solar vacuum tubes Water is heated as it flows through the coaxial fluid conduit inserted in each tube. The space between the exterior of the fluid conduit and the glass tube is filled with antifreeze solution. This is to facilitate heat transfer from the solar heated absorber surface to water and to prevent the functional problems due to freezing in frigid weather conditions. A one-dimensional steady state model is fully described which will be used to develop three-dimensional model using STAR-CD. These models could be used efficiently in designing all-glass solar collector tubes with different geometrical parameters other than those considered in the present analysis. Results show good agreement when compared with other experimental data demonstrating the reliability of the present model.

Following the launch of Rare Isotope Science Project in December 2011, a heavy ion accelerator complex in South Korea, named RAON, has since been designed. It includes a muon facility for muon spin rotation, relaxation, and resonance. The facility will be provided with 600 MeV and 100 kW (one-fourth of the maximum power) proton beam. In this study, the graphite target in RAON was designed to have a rotating disk shape and was cooled by radiative heat transfer. This cool-down process has the following advantages: a low-temperature gradient in the target and the absence of a liquid coolant cooling system. Monte Carlo simulations and ANSYS calculations were performed to optimize the target system in a thermally stable condition when the 100 kW proton beam collided with the target. A comparison between the simulation and experimental data was also included in the design process to obtain reliable results. The final design of the target system will be completed within 2020, and its manufacturing is in progress. The manufactured target system will be installed at the RAON in the Sindong area near Daejeon-city in 2021 to carry out verification experiments.

In the present study, the cavity module of the MELCOR code is used for the simulation of molten corium concrete interaction (MCCI) during the late phase of postulated large break loss of coolant (LB-LOCA) accident in the APR1400 reactor design. Using the molten corium composition data from previous MELCOR Simulation of APR1400 under LB-LOCA accident, the ex-vessel phases of the accident sequences with long-term MCCI are recalculated with stand-alone cavity package of the MELCOR code to investigate the impact of water ingression and melt eruption models which were hitherto absent in MELCOR code. Significant changes in the MCCI behaviors in terms of the heat transfer rates, amount of gases released, and maximum cavity ablation depths are observed and reported in this study. Most especially, the incorporation of these models in the new release of MELCOR code has led to the reduction of the maximum ablation depth in radial and axial directions by ~38% and ~32%, respectively. These impacts are substantial enough to change the conclusions earlier reached by researchers who had used the older versions of the MELCOR code for their studies. and it could also impact the estimated cost of the severe accident mitigation system in the APR1400 reactor.

일반사출성형에서는 수지가 캐비티 내를 흐르면서 냉각으로 인한 점도의 상승으로 전사성이 급격히 나빠지기 때문에 미세패턴을 가진 성형품을 제작하는데 많은 어려움이 따른다. 이를 해결하는 방법으로 금형온도를 용융된 수지온도 수준까지 순간적으로 표면만을 가열하여 성형시킨 후 급속히 냉각하는 다양한 순간금형가열방식이 있고, 그 중 본 연구에서는 전열가열방식인 E-Mold을 채택하였다. 특히, 마이크/나노 부품 성형에 필수적인 E-Mold 금형설계에 있어 heating line의 배치는 금형의 온도 제어 및 균일한 온도 분포에 절대적인 영향을 미치므로 최적화된 heating line의 배치가 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 사출공정의 사이클 타임을 최소화하면서 다양한 해석 프로그램을 사용하여 E-Mold의 최적화 설계를 전산모사 하였고, 이를 실험결과와 비교하였다. 먼저, 3D CAD 프로그램인 Pro-Engineer Wildfire 2.0 을 사용하여 E-Mold 금형을 설계하고, ANSYS사의 ICEMCFD 프로그램을 사용하여 MESH 생성하고, ANSYS사의 FLUENT 프로그램을 사용하여 금형의 초기온도 $60^{\circ}C$에서 $120^{\circ}C$와 $180^{\circ}C$까지 가열하는데 걸리는 시간과 냉각시키는데 걸리는 시간 등을 전산모사 하였다. 그리고 Polycarbonate를 이용하여 LGP 도광판을 실제 사출성형하여 얻은 데이터와 비교 분석을 하였다. 전산모사와 실제 사출결과에서 $3{\sim}4$초가량의 차이가 나타났지만 실제 사출시 고온의 용융된 플라스틱 수지에 따른 냉각시간의 오차를 생각한다면, 전산모사와 실힘결과는 거의 일치한다고 볼 수 있다. 따라서 본 체계적인 전산모사방법을 통해 E-Mold의 Heating Line 최적화 설계가 가능하다는 것을 확인하였다.

Hydration heat and thermal induced cracking have always been a fatal problem for massive concrete structures. In order to study a massive reinforced concrete wall of a storage tank for liquefied natural gas (LNG) during its construction, two mock-ups of $0.8m{\times}0.8m{\times}0.8m$ without and with metal corrugated pipes were designed based on the actual wall construction plan. Temperature distribution and strain development of both mock-ups were measured and compared inside and on the surface of them. Meanwhile, time-dependent thermal and mechanical properties of the concrete were tested standardly and introduced into the finite-element (FE) software with a proposed hydration degree model. According to the comparison results, the FE simulation of temperature field agreed well with the measured data. Besides, the maximum temperature rise was slightly higher and the shrinkage was generally larger in the mock-up without pipes, indicating that corrugated pipes could reduce concrete temperature and decrease shrinkage of surrounding concrete. In addition, the cooling rate decreased approximately linearly with the reduction of heat transfer coefficient h, implying that a target cooling curve can be achieved by calculating a desired coefficient h. Moreover, the maximum cooling rate did not necessarily decrease with the extension of demoulding time. It is better to remove the formwork at least after 116 hours after concrete casting, which promises lower risk of thermal cracking of early-age concrete.

A reactor inlet header break experiment, B9401, performed in the RD-14M multi channel test facility was analyzed using RELAP5/MOD3.2 and RELAP5/CANDU[1]. The RELAP5 has been developed for the use in the analysis of the transient behavior of the pressurized water reactor. A recent study showed that the RELAP5 could be feasible even for the simulation of the thermal hydraulic behavior of CANDU reactors. However, some deficiencies in the prediction of fuel sheath temperature and transient behavior in athe headers were identified in the RELAP5 assessments. The RELAP5/CANDU has been developing to resolve the deficiencies in the RELAP5 and to improve the predictability of the thermal-hydraulic behaviors of the CANDU reactors. In the RELAP5/CANDU, critical heat flux model, horizontal flow regime map, heat transfer model in horizontal channel, etc. were modified or added to the RELAP5/MOD3.2. This study aims to identify the applicability of both codes, in particular, in the multi-channel simulation of the CANDU reactors. The RELAP5/MOD3.2 and the RELAP5/CANDU analyses demonstrate the code's capability to predict reasonably the major phenomena occurred during the transient. The thermal-hydraulic behaviors of both codes are almost identical, however, the RELAP5/CANDU predicts better the heater sheath temperature than the RELAP5/MOD3.2. Pressure differences between headers govern the flow characteristics through the heated sections, particularly after the ECI. In determining header pressure, there are many uncertainties arisen from the complicated effects including steady state pressure distribution. Therefore, it would be concluded that further works are required to reduce these uncertainties, and consequently predict appropriately thermal-hydraulic behaviors in the reactor coolant system during LOCA analyses.

원통형 리튬이온 배터리를 이용한 배터리 팩의 냉각을 위한 해석을 수행하였다. 파우치형에 비해서 원통형 셀을 이용한 배터리 팩은 저렴하면서 신뢰도가 우수한 것으로 알려져 있다. 단지 부피가 파우치 타입에 비해서 크고 디자인적으로 제약이 있다라는 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 18650 배터리를 이용한 배터리팩의 냉각성능을 해석을 통하여 예측하였다. 배터리팩의 온도 안정성은 자동차용 배터리 팩에서 가장 중요한 부분이기 때문이다. 해석을 수행하기 전에 발열 시험을 수행하였으며 열화상 카메라를 이용하여 온도를 측정하고 해석을 통해서 이에 해당하는 발열량 값을 예측하였다. 이를 바탕으로 배터리 팩의 자연대류와 강제대류 해석을 진행하였으며 각각의 냉각 성능을 비교하였다. 배터리 셀을 직접 냉각하는 직접냉각 방식, 배터리 케이스 상하면을 냉각하는 방식, 배터리 케이스 상하면에 공기 통로를 설치하는 세 가지 방식에 대해서 냉각 성능을 비교하였고, 공기채널 방식이 안정성과 냉각성능 면에서 우수함을 해석을 통하여 입증하였다.
