A pulsed molecular beam source having short pulse duration (typically 70 ${\mu}s)$ and narrow velocity distribution (${\Delta}$v/v=8% for helium) has been costructed utilizing a commercial fuel injector. Beam characteristics of helium and ammonia seeded in helium expansions are accomplished by the use of an electron impact time-or-flight mass spectrometer. The comparisons between experimental data and theoretical calculations show that the proper beam speed is important to predict the evolution of stream temperature and valve shutter function. The decreasing tendency of pulse duration with increasing cluster size leads to the conclusion that the cluster beam property is described as a function of cluster mass and disinct cluster temperature.

Besides recent progresses in the physics-based modelling of fission gas and helium behaviour, the scarcity of experimental data concerning their combined behaviour (i.e., cocktail) hinders further model developments. For this reason, in this work, we propose a modelling methodology aimed at providing recommendations for accelerated experimental investigations. By exploring a wide range of annealing temperatures and cocktail compositions with a physics-based modelling approach we identify the most interesting conditions to be targeted by future experiments. To corroborate the recommendations arising from the proposed methodology, we include a sensitivity analysis quantifying the impact of the model parameters on fission gas and helium release, in conditions representative of high and low burnup.

This paper relates to reducing the temperature of a cryogenic liquid by contacting it with gas bubbles, which can be characterized by diffusion-driven evaporative cooling, The characteristic of diffusion-driven evaporative cooling is thoroughly examined by theoretical. analytical and experimental methods specifically for the case of helium injection into liquid oxygen. The results reveal that if the gaseous oxygen partial pressure in helium bubbles is lower than the liquid oxygen vapor pressure, cooling occurs autonomously due to diffusion mass transfer. The method of lowering the injected helium temperature turns out to be very effective for cooling purpose.

할로겐족 원소들의 강한 원자 방출선들은 진공자외선 영역에 존재하여, 공기 중에서 레이저 펄스를 시료에 집속하여 플라즈마 방출 스펙트럼을 얻어 원소 분석을 수행하기 매우 어렵다. 또한 근적외선 영역에 할로겐족 원소들의 들뜬 전자 상태들 사이의 전이에 의한 원자 방출선들이 존재하는데, 이들은 스타크 효과에 의한 선폭 넓어짐 현상이 매우 커서, 공기 중에서 원소 분석에 충분한 신호 대 잡음비를 얻기 어렵다. 헬륨 가스 플로우를 이용하여 근적외선 영역의 할로겐족 원소들의 원자 방출선들은 레이저유도 플라즈마로부터 관측하였다. 특히, 804.374 nm와 905.833 nm의 아이오딘 원자 방출선들은 레이저유도 플라즈마에서 처음으로 관찰된 것이다. 헬륨 분위기에서 스타크 효과에 의한 선폭 넓어짐 현상과 연속 배경복사의 세기는 현저히 억제되었다. 헬륨 가스 플로우의 유량에 따른 원자 방출선의 세기, 플라즈마 온도, 전자 밀도의 변화를 조사하였다. 이 방법을 이용하여 고무의 난연제 성분에 포함된 염소와 불소를 레이저유도 플라즈마 분광법을 이용하여 검출하였다. 마지막으로 레이저유도 플라즈마 분광법을 이용하여 할로젠 원소들을 검출하는데 헬륨 가스 소모량을 줄일 수 있는 가스 펄스 젯 장치를 제안한다.

This paper describes numerical modeling for thermal characteristic of vapor-cooled current leads under pulse operation. The transient thermal analysis considers the temperature difference between a helium gas (low and a copper lead and temperature dependent properties of helium gas, copper and stainless steel. This numerical modeling was compensated and validated by an experiment with commercially available 100 A vapor-cooled current leads. A proper overloading factor was suggested for the current leads under pulse operation through this modeling, which can significantly reduce heat input to a cryostat.

The graphite tube nozzle has been developed for the generation of metastable He jet by which the nitrogen molecules initially excited in a jet with Engelking type nozzle have been further excited in a corona excited supersonic expansion. The excitation process of nitrogen molecules in the jet collision has been discussed in detail by observing the emission intensity from the vibronic emission spectra of nitrogen molecules and nitrogen molecular ions upon helium jet collision.

Due to the demand of the cold neutron flux in the neutron science and beam utilization technology, the cold neutron source (CNS) has been constructed and operating in the nuclear research reactor all over the world. The majority of the heat load removal scheme in the CNS is two-phase thermosiphon using the liquid hydrogen as a moderator. The CNS moderates thermal neutrons through a cryogenic moderator, liquid hydrogen, into cold neutrons with the generation of the nuclear heat load. The liquid hydrogen in a moderator cell is evaporated for the removal of the generated heat load from the neutron moderation and flows upward into a heat exchanger, where the hydrogen gas is liquefied by the cryogenic helium gas supplied from a helium refrigeration system. The liquefied hydrogen flows down to the moderator cell. To keep the required liquid hydrogen stable in the moderator cell, the CNS consists of an in-pool assembly (IPA) connected with the hydrogen system to handle the required hydrogen gas, the vacuum system to create the thermal insulation, and the helium refrigeration system to provide the cooling capacity. If one of systems is running out of order, the operating research reactor shall be tripped because the integrity of the CNS-IPA is not secured under the full power operation of the reactor. To prevent unscheduled reactor shutdown during a long time because the research reactor has been operating with the multi-purposes, the introduction of the standby cooling system (STS) can be a solution. In this presentation, the design considerations are considered how to design the STS satisfied with the following objectives: (a) to keep the moderator cell less than 350 K during the full power operation of the reactor under loss of the vacuum, loss of the cooling power, loss of common electrical power, or loss of instrument air cases; (b) to circulate smoothly helium gas in the STS circulation loop; (c) to re-start-up the reactor within 1 hour after its trip to avoid the Xenon build-up because more than certain concentration of Xenon makes that the reactor cannot start-up again; (d) to minimize the possibility of the hydrogen-oxygen reaction in the hydrogen boundary.

Since superconducting wires have no resistance, electromagnets based on the superconducting wires produce no resistive heating with DC current as long as the current does not exceed the critical current of the wire. However, unlike resistive wires, superconducting wires exhibit AC heat loss. Embedding fine superconducting filaments inside copper matrix can reduce this AC loss to an acceptable level and opens the way to AC-capable superconducting coils. Here, we introduce an easy and accurate method to measure AC heat loss from sample superconducting coils by measuring changes in the rate of gas helium outflow from the liquid helium dewar in which the sample coil is placed. This method provides accurate information on total heat loss of a superconducting coil without any size limit, as long as the coil can fit inside the liquid helium dewar. With this method, we have evaluated AC heat loss of two superconducting solenoids, a 180-turn solid NbTi wire with 0.127 mm diameter (NbTi coil) and a 100-turn filamented wire with 1.4 mm diameter where 7 NbTi filaments were embedded in a copper matrix with copper to NbTi ratio of 6.7:1 (NbTi-Cu coil). Both coils were wound on 15 mm-diameter G-10 epoxy tubes. The AC heat losses of the NbTi and NbTi-Cu coils were evaluated as $53{\pm}4.7\;{\mu}W/A^2Hzcm^3$ and $0.67{\pm}0.16\;{\mu}W/A^2Hzcm^3$, respectively.

A heated and expanded helium is used to pressurize liquid propellants in propellant tanks of propulsion system of liquid propellant launch vehicles. To produce a heated and expanded helium, an hot-gas heat exchanger is used by utilizing heat source from an exhausted gas, which was generated in a gas generator to operate turbine of turbo-pump and dumped out through an exhaust duct of engine. Both experimental and numerical approaches of hot-gas heat exchanger design were conducted in the present study. Experimentally, siliconites - electrical resistance types - were used to simulate the full heat condition instead of an exhausted gas. Cryogenic heat exchangers, which were immersed in a liquid nitrogen pool, were used to feed cryogenic gaseous helium in a hot-gas heat exchanger. Numerical simulation was made using commercially utilized solver - Fluent V.6.0 - to validate experimental results. Helically coiled stainless steel pipe and stainless steel exhausted duct were consisted of tetrahedron unstructured mesh. Helium was a working fluid Inside helical heat coil and regarded as an ideal gas. Realizable k-』 turbulent modeling was adopted to take turbulent mixing effects in consideration. Comparisons between experimental results and numerical solutions are Presented. It is observed that a resulted hot-gas heat exchanger design is reliable based on the comparison of both results.
