This paper presents the fabrication of a micro electromagnetic flowmeter for liquid flow rate measurement. The flowmeter consists of a silicon flow channel with two electrodes and two permanent magnets. The micro flow channel and the detection electrodes are fabricated by the anisotropic etching of two silicon substrates and the metal evaporation process respectively. If conductive fluid passes through a magnet field, electromotive force is generated and detected by two electrodes. When the flow rate is 2.6 ml/sec, the measured output voltage is 7.4 mV.

자동차 선도장 강판을 위한 핵심 응용기술로서 3-롤코팅 공정을 연구하였다. 본 연구를 위한 3-롤코팅은 저장조로부터 코팅액을 끌어 올리는 pick-up롤, 적절한 코팅 두께로 계량시키기 위한 계량롤, 강판에 직접 코팅시키기 위한 applicator 롤로 구성되어 있다. 전단담화의 유변물성을 갖는 고분자 도료의 코팅 유동 특성과 코팅 운전 영역을 pickup 롤과 계량롤 사이의 속도비와 간격 등의 공정조건과의 상관관계를 통해 고찰하였다. 안정한 코팅 영역에서, 간격이 크거나 속도비가 작을수록 코팅 두께는 증가하였다. 또한, ribbing과 cascade라는 불안정성은 각각 속도비가 낮고 높을 때 관찰되었다. 특히, 속도비가 낮을때, ribbing의 파장과 심각도가 증가함을 확인하였다.

The rheocasting characteristics are strongly influenced by the microstructural morphology such as particle size, form factor and contiguity. In this study, the effect of structural morphology on fluid flow characteristics of A356 semi-solid alloy was investigated with a vacuum suction fluidity test. Semi-solid metal slurry was made by the mechanical stirring, the liquidus casting, and H-NCM to be analysed. H-NCM could obtain uniform and fine globular microstructures of 0.9 form factor and 55 ${\mu}m$ particle size. Inoculation was found to be effective for reducing particle size, however, for H-NCM it should be avoided due to the cause of increasing contiguity. The fluidity test indicated that the non-stirring method had higher fluidity and smaller liquid segregation in the same solid faction of 0.4 than the stirring method, for smaller particle size and higher form factor. It was observed that liquid segregation decreased as the particle size is smaller and form factor is higher. The results of die-casting experiment were a good agreement with those of fluidity test.

The thermal, mechanical, and neutronic performance of the metal alloy fast reactor fuel design complements the safety advantages of the liquid metal cooling and the pool-type primary system. Together, these features provide large safety margins in both normal operating modes and for a wide range of postulated accidents. In particular, they maximize the measures of safety associated with inherent reactor response to unprotected, doublefault accidents, and to minimize risk to the public and plant investment. High thermal conductivity and high gap conductance play the most significant role in safety advantages of the metallic fuel, resulting in a flatter radial temperature profile within the pin and much lower normal operation and transient temperatures in comparison to oxide fuel. Despite the big difference in melting point, both oxide and metal fuels have a relatively similar margin to melting during postulated accidents. When the metal fuel cladding fails, it typically occurs below the coolant boiling point and the damaged fuel pins remain coolable. Metal fuel is compatible with sodium coolant, eliminating the potential of energetic fuel-coolant reactions and flow blockages. All these, and the low retained heat leading to a longer grace period for operator action, are significant contributing factors to the inherently benign response of metallic fuel to postulated accidents. This paper summarizes the past analytical and experimental results obtained in past sodium-cooled fast reactor safety programs in the United States, and presents an overview of fuel safety performance as observed in laboratory and in-pile tests.

The microstructure and electrochemical analysis of welds of electric resistance welding(ERW) pipe were investigated. The direction of metal flow line in HAZ of ERW pipe shifted to the inner(or outer) surface of pipe by plastic deformation during welding. The lowest heat input welds of ERW pipe was showed crack by liquid penetrant testing. Accelerated corrosion test by constant current density of 20mA/$cm^{2}$ developed groove at the welds of ERW pipe and the measured grooving factors were about $1.2{\sim}1.5$. Corrosion potential of base metal obtained by cyclic polarization in artificial sea water(3.5wt.% NaCl solution) was 100mV higher than that of weld metal of ERW pipe.

Recently, many research studies have investigated the enormous critical heat flux (CHF) enhancement caused by nanofluids during pool boiling and flow boiling. One of the main reasons for this enhancement is nanoparticle deposition on the heated surface. However, in real applications, nanofluids create many problems when used as working fluids because of sedimentation and aggregation. Therefore, artificial surfaces on silicon and metal have been developed to create an effect similar to that of nanoparticle deposition. These modified surfaces have proved capable of greatly increasing the CHF during pool boiling, and good results have also been observed during flow boiling. In this study, we demonstrate that the wetting ability of a surface, i.e., wettability, and the liquid spreading ability (hydrophilic surface property), are key parameters for increasing the CHF during both pool and flow boiling. We also demonstrate that when the fuel surface in nuclear power plants is modified in a similar manner, it has the same effect, producing a large CHF enhancement.

The distributed resistance model has been recently implemented into the MATRA-LMR code in order to improve its prediction capability over the wire-wrap model for a flow blockage analysis in the LMR. The code capability has been investigated using experimental data observed in the FFM (Fuel Failure Mock-up)-2A and 5B for two typical flow conditions in a blocked channel. The predicted results by the MATRA-LMR with a distributed resistance model agreed well with the experimental data for wire-wrapped subchannels. However, it is suggested that the parameter n in the distributed resistance model needs to be calibrated accurately for a reasonable prediction of the temperature field under a low flow condition. Finally, the analyses of a blockage for the assembly of the KALIMER design are performed. Satisfactory results by the MATRA-LMR code were obtained through and rerified a comparison with results of the SABRE code.

많은 연구결과들은 국부적 용융체의 존재가 고온인장 변형 시 발생하는 내부공극의 발달을 억제할 수 있음을 보고하고 있다. 그러나 이러한 국부적 용융체가 존재한다고 해서 반드시 고변형속도 초소성 현상이 관찰될 수 있는 것은 아니다. 금속기지와 보강재간의 계면에 국부적 용융체의 양이 너무 많이 존재하면 두상간의 결합력이 떨어져 금속기지상으로부터 보강재가 분리되는 현상이 야기될 수 있기 때문이다. 그러므로, $Si_3$$N_{4p}$ 2124 Al 복합재의 초소성 유동 특성을 이해하기 위해 변형온도에 따른 미세구조 변화와 계면특성을 조사하였다. 본 연구를 룽해 $Si_3$$N_{4p}$ 2124 Al 복합재에서 Al-기지와 $Si_3$$N_{4p}$ 강화상간의 계면상의 국부적 용융이 시작되는 온도부근에서는 큰 초소성 특성이 얻어지지만, 국부적 용융이 시작되는 온도를 지난 인장온도범위에서는 오히려 초소성 특성이 현저하게 저하되는 현상이 관찰되었다. 위의 실험결과는 $Si_3$$N_{4p}$ 2124 Al복합재의 고변형속도 초소성 거동에 기여하는 최적의 액상량이 존재한다는 것을 의미한다.

Melt flow, heat and mass transfer of oxygen have been analyzed numerically in the process of Czochralski single crystal growth of silicon under the influence of misaligned cusp magnetic fields. Since the silicon melt in a crucible for crystal growth is of high temperature and of highly electrical-conducting, experimentation method has difficulty in analyzing the behavior of the melt flow. A set of simultaneous nonlinear equations including Navier-Stokes and Maxwell equations has been used for the modelling of the melt flow which can be regarded as a liquid metal. Together with the melt flow which forms the Marangoni convection, a flow circulation is observed near the comer close both to the crucible wall and the free surface. The melt flow tends to follow the magnetic lines instead of traversing the lines. These flow characteristics helps the flow circulation exist. Mass transfer characteristics influenced by the melt flow has been analyzed and the oxygen absorption rate to the crystal has been calculated and turned out to be rather uniform than in the case of an aligned magnetic field.

A comparative transient analyses were performed for oxide and nitride cores or a large (3000 MWt), pool-type, liquid-metal-cooled reactor (LMR). The study was focused on three representative accident initiators with failure to scram : the unprotected loss-of-flow (ULOF), the unprotected transient overpower (UTOP), and the unprotected fast transient overpower (UFTOP). The margins to fuel melting and sodium boiling have been evaluated for these representative transients. The results show that there is an increase in safety margin with nitride core which maintains the physical dimensions of the oxide core.
