Severe accident scenarios in nuclear reactors, such as nuclear meltdown, reveal that an extremely hot molten core may fall into the nuclear reactor cavity and seriously affect the safety of the nuclear containment vessel due to the chain reaction caused by the reaction between the molten core and concrete. This paper reports on research focused on the type and amount of vapor produced during the reaction between a high-temperature molten core and concrete, as well as on the erosion rate of concrete and the heat transfer characteristics at its vicinity. This study identifies themass fraction and melting temperature as the most influential properties of concrete necessary for a safety analysis conducted in relation to the thermal interaction between the molten core and the basemat concrete. The types of concrete that are actually used in nuclear reactor cavities were investigated. The $H_2O$ content in concrete required for the computation of the relative amount of gases generated by the chemical reaction of the vapor, the quantity of $CO_2$ necessary for computing the cooling speed of the molten core, and the melting temperature of concrete are evaluated experimentally for the molten core-concrete interaction analysis.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate the mechanism and effect of moxibustion with salt objectively, to be used as the quantitative data through the measurement of temperature, and to grasp the thermodynamic characteristics of moxibustion with salt. Methods: We have selected of the moxibustion with salt of indirect moxibustion. We make a comparative study of the thermodynamic characteristics of moxibustion with salt as a kind of the 4 salt. We examined combustion times, temperatures, temperature gradients in each period during a combustion of moxa. Results: 1. We make out that it is not significantly change the time of thermal conduction of moxibustion with salt as a kind of 4 salt. 2. The heating period of Refined Salt was long and that of Sun-dried Salt was a short time respectively. The heating period of maximum tamperature is high Sun-dried Salt, Mechanical Salt and Refined Salt orderly. Maximun heating speed in the heating period was $0.151{\sim}0.184^{\circ}C/sec$ and at the same tendency of the maximum temperature in the heating period. 3. The retaining period was shorter than the heating period respectively, that is 15~24% of the combustion time of in the heating period. We make out that it is not significantly different the time of the retaining period as a kind of 4 salt. The mean temperature of retaining period was $43.2{\sim}48.1^{\circ}C$, that was extraordinarily high temperature. 4. We make out that it is not significantly different the time of the cooling period as a kind of 4 salt. The cooling period was measured 223~233sec. Beacuse the same density and size of moxa combustion was made an experiment. 5. The effective combustion time of Refined Salt is longer(259sec) than that of Sun-dried Salt(173sec). It is significantly different the time of the combustion time as a kind of 4 salt. 6. It is significantly different the Sample deviation of the combustion time as a kind of 4 salt because of the water content of the 4 salt individually. Conclusions: As the base on this study, we obtained the conclusion as the follows. The salt of moxibustion with salt was fitted for Sun-dried Salt due to making to Mechanical Salt recently. The Refined Salt is composition rate to another and small size comparatively. So It was fitted for the salt of moxibustion with salt. It is necessary to study continuously about the more suitable moxibustion with salt and quantitative analysis about the moxibustion with salt.

Methylobacterium organophilum을 이용하여 메탄올로부터 유가식 배양법으로 고점도 다당류인 메틸란(methylan)의 생산시, 메틸란 배양액의 점성특성과 산소전달속도와 메틸란 생산 수율과의 관계를 조사하였다. 균체 농도의 증가는 배양액의 점성에 거의 영향을 주지 않았으나 배양시간의 경과에 따른 메틸란의 축적은 배양액의 점성특성을 비뉴톤성으로 변화시키며 동시에 급격한 점도 증가를 보였다. 배양시간의 경과에 따른 같은 농도하에서 메틸란의 점도를 측정한 결과 배양시간이 증가함에 따라, 점도가 현저하게 증가 하였고 pseudoplasticity 정도는 약간 증가하였다. 그 원인을 조사하기 위하여 메틸란 구성 성분의 화학조성을 분석 하였다. 구성성분 중의 유기산(pyruvic acid, uronic acid, acetic acid)의 함량이 메틸란 생성 초기인 34시간에 10%에서 배양말기인 72시간에서는 17%로 증가하였다. 즉, (-)전하를 띠는 산의 함량이 증가함으로 인하여 메틸란 분자네 chain간의 전기적 반발로 인하여 수용액 상태에서 메틸란 분자의 hydrodynamic domain의 증가로 추측되었다. 이와같이 메틸란의 농도 증가에 따른 점도의 증가는 배양도중 산소전달속도($k_La$)의 급격한 감소를 초래하여 균체증식과 메틸란의 생산을 감소시켰다. 그러나 균체의 메틸란 생산능력에는 큰변화가 없어 단위 균체당 메틸란 수율(P/X)은 큰 차이가 없었다. 산소전달속도를 증가시키기 위하여 교반속도를 증가시킨 결과 메틸란의 농도, 비생산 속도 및 생산 수율이 거의 비례적으로 증가됨을 확인하였다.
