The design concept of a Small High-flux Multipurpose LBE(Lead Bismuth Eutectic) cooled Fast Reactor (SHMLFR) was proposed in the paper. The primary cooling system of the reactor is forced circulation, and the fuel element form is arc-plate loaded high enrichment MOX fuel. The core is cylindrical with a flux trap set in the center of the core, which can be used as an irradiation channel. According to the requirements of the core physical design, a series of physical design criteria and constraints were given, and the steady and transient parameters of the reactor were calculated and analyzed. Regarding the thermal and hydraulic phenomena of the reactor, a simplified model was used to conduct a preliminary analysis of the fuel plates at special positions, and the temperature field distribution of the fuel plate with the highest power density under different coolant flow rates was simulated. The results show that the various parameters of SHMLFR meet the requirements and design criteria of the physical design of the core and the thermal design of the reactor. This implies that the conceptual design of SHMLFR is feasible.

본 연구에서는 하천-대수층 계에서 수치모형과 두 종류의 해석모형을 적용하여 유도침투량 곡선을 유도하여 비교하였으며, 투수계수의 이방성비 및 지하수 유입 방향이 유도침투량 산정에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 유도침투량 곡선은 단순한 그래프 형태로 표시되며, 유도침투량, 양수량, 하천과 우물사이의 거리, 유동 지하수 유입량 등의 4가지 인자만을 포함하기 때문에 유도침투량의 결정에 유용하게 적용될 수 있다. 검토된 조건 아래에서 Wilson 해석모형과 FEWA 수치모형의 유도침투량 곡선은 근사적으로 일치하였으며, 투수게수의 이방성비는 유도침투량에 큰 영향을 미치는 인자로 평가되었다. 본 연구에서 적용된 방법과 도출된 결과들은 유도침투 현상을 이해하는데 도움이 되며, 양수우물의 계획 및 설계, 용수공급 우물의 수질관리에 필요한 유도침투량과 양수량의 최적 결정에 적용될 수 있다.

기후변화에 의한 온도 상승 및 강수량 변화는 수량 및 수질을 포함한 수환경의 변화로 이어져 결과적으로 수생생물의 서식지에 영향을 미친다. 이와 같은 서식지 변화는 생물종의 서식적합도 변화로 이어지고, 서식적합도에 의해 종분포가 결정된다. 따라서 기후변화에 의한 담수 어류의 서식적합성 변화를 예측하기 위하여 기존의 서식적합성 모형을 비교 및 분석하였다. 서식적합성 모형은 PHABSIM, CCHE2D, CASiMiR, RHABSIM, RHYHABSIM, River2D과 같은 서식지-수리 모형과 CLIMEX와 같은 서식지-생리 모형으로 구분하여 조사하였다. 서식지-수리 모형들은 수리학적 인자 (유속, 수심, 기질)를 이용하여 서식적합도를 예측하기 때문에, 수온을 포함한 수질의 영향을 평가할 수 없다. 반면, CLIMEX는 기후 인자에 대한 생물의 생리학적 반응을 평가하기 때문에, 물리적 서식지 (수리학적 인자)의 영향을 평가할 수 없다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 서식지-수리 모형인 PHABSIM과 서식지-생리 모형인 CLIMEX의 구동 원리를 융합하여 기존의 모형들보다 다양한 환경 인자에 대한 영향을 예측할 수 있는 새로운 모형인 생태학적 서식적합성 모형 (EHSM)의 개념을 제안하였다. 이 모형은 기후변화에 의한 어류의 서식적합도 변화를 더욱 정확하게 예측할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

A condensation heat transfer model is essential to accurately predict the performance of the passive containment cooling system (PCCS) during an accident in an advanced light water reactor. However, most of existing models tend to predict condensation heat transfer very well for a specific range of thermal-hydraulic conditions. In this study, a new correlation for condensation heat transfer coefficient (HTC) is presented using machine learning technique. To secure sufficient training data, a large number of pseudo data were produced by using ten existing condensation models. Then, a neural network model was developed, consisting of a fully connected layer and a convolutional neural network (CNN) algorithm, DenseNet. Based on the hold-out cross-validation, the neural network was trained and validated against the pseudo data. Thereafter, it was evaluated using the experimental data, which were not used for training. The machine learning model predicted better results than the existing models. It was also confirmed through a parametric study that the machine learning model presents continuous and physical HTCs for various thermal-hydraulic conditions. By reflecting the effects of individual variables obtained from the parametric analysis, a new correlation was proposed. It yielded better results for almost all experimental conditions than the ten existing models.

Submarine pipelines encounter significant wave forces in shallow coastal waters due to the action of waves. In order to reduce such forces (also to protect the pipe against anchors and dropped objects) they are buried below the seabed. The wave force variation due to burial depends on the engineering characteristics of the sub soil like hydraulic conductivity and porosity, apart from the design environmental conditions. For a given wave condition, in certain type of soil, the wave force can reduce drastically with increased burial and in certain other type of soil, it may not. It is hence essential to understand how the wave forces vary in soils of different hydraulic conductivity. Based on physical model study, the wave forces on the buried pipeline model is assessed for a wide range of wave conditions, for different burial depths and for four types of cohesion-less soils, covering hydraulic conductivity in the range of 0.286 to 1.84 mm/s. It is found that for all the four soil types, the horizontal wave force reduces with increase in depth of burial, whereas the vertical force is high for half buried condition. Among the soils, well graded one is better for half buried case, since the least vertical force is experienced for this situation. It is found that uniformly graded and low hydraulic conductivity soil attracts the maximum vertical force for half buried case. A case study analysis is carried out and is reported. The results of this study are useful for submarine buried pipeline design.

The Helically coiled tube Once-Through Steam Generator (H-OTSG) is a key piece of equipment for compact small reactors. The present study developed and verified a thermal-hydraulic design and performance analysis computer code for a countercurrent H-OTSG installed in a small pressurized water reactor. The H-OTSG is represented by one characteristic tube in the model. The secondary side of the H-OTSG is divided into single-phase liquid region, nucleate boiling region, postdryout region, and single-phase vapor region. Different heat transfer correlations and pressure drop correlations are reviewed and applied. To benchmark the developed physical models and the computer code, H-OTSGs developed in Marine Reactor X and System-integrated Modular Advanced ReacTor are simulated by the code, and the results are compared with the design data. The overall characteristics of heat transfer area, temperature distributions, and pressure drops calculated by the code showed general agreement with the published data. The thermal-hydraulic characteristics of a typical countercurrent H-OTSG are analyzed. It is demonstrated that the code can be utilized for design and performance analysis of an H-OTSG.

Recently, there have been many studies seeking towards the utilization of cementitious powder from concrete waste as recycle cement. However, most of the studies actually have been researches about the reuse of mortar or paste, not concrete waste. In fact, either mortar or paste is quite different from a real concrete waste in terms of age and mixture. Thus the purpose of this study is to examine basic physical properties of recycle cement, manufactured with cementitious powder from concrete waste, and analyze differences in chemical and hydraulic properties of the cement and its tested model. As a result of the chemicai analysis, recycle cement is composed mainly of CaO and SiO2, and that it is even lower in the content of CaO than Portland cement, which is also supported by previous studies. But, Differently from previous studies, plastic working at the temperature of 650 was found an optimal condition under which cementitious powder from concrete waste could restore its hydraulic properties.

Convective heat transfer in a channel filled with porous media has been analyzed in this paper. The two-equation model is applied for the heat transfer analysis with the velocity profile, considering both the inertia and viscous effects. Based on a theoretical solution, the effect of the velocity profile on the convective heat transfer is investigated in detail. The Nusselt number is obtained in terms of the relevant physical parameters, such as the Biot number for the internal heat exchange, the ratio of effective conductivities between the fluid and solid phases, and hydraulic boundary layer thickness. The results indicate that the influence of the velocity profile is characterized within two regimes according to the two parameters, the Biot number and the conductivity ratio between the phases. The decrease in the heat transfer due to the hydraulic boundary layer thickness is 15% at most within a practical range of the pertinent parameters.

본 연구에서는 산성토를 대상으로 물리적 특성과 불포화 특성을 조사 및 분석하였다. 부산 일광광산 주변의 산성토를 대상으로 물리적 특성을 조사한 결과 건조단위중량이 $1.246t/m^3$이며, 통일분류법(USCS)상 실트질 모래(SM)에 해당된다. 자동 흙-함수특성곡선(SWCC) 측정장치를 이용하여 건조 및 습윤과정에 대한 흙-함수특성곡선(SWCC)을 산정하였다. 그리고 계수예측방법 가운데 가장 널리 활용되고 있는 van Genuchten (1980) 모델을 적용하여 건조 및 습윤과정에 따른 산성토의 불포화 투수계수함수(HCF)를 산정하였다. 산성토의 불포화 투수계수함수(HCF)는 건조과정의 경우 모관흡수력이 증가함에 따라 지속적으로 감소하지만 습윤과정의 경우 모관흡수력이 낮은 수준에서 상대적으로 작게 감소하고, 수분함입치 직전에 크게 감소함을 알 수 있다. 한편, 건조 및 습윤과정에서의 흙-함수특성곡선과 불포화 투수계수함수는 모두 이력현상이 발생되었다.
