  • When a cold HPSI (High pressure Safety Injection) fluid associated with an overcooling transient, such as SGTR (Steam Generator Tube Rupture), MSLB (Main Steam Line Break) etc., enters the cold legs of a stagnated primary coolant loop, thermal stratification phenomena will arise due to incomplete mixing. If the stratified flow enters the downcomer of the reactor pressure vessel, severe thermal stresses are created in a radiation embrittled vessel wall by local overcooling. As general thermal-hydraulic system analysis codes cannot properly predict the thermal stratification phenomena, RG 1.154 requires that a detailed thermal-mixing analysis of PTS (pressurized Thermal Shock) evaluation be performed. Also. previous PTS studies have assumed that the thermal stratification phenomena generated in the stagnated loop side of a partially stagnated primary coolant loop are neutralized in the vessel downcomer by the strong flow from the unstagnated loop. On the basis of these reasons, this paper focuses on the development of a 3-dimensional thermal-mixing analysis model using PHOENICS code which can be applied to both partial and total loop stagnated cases. In addition, this paper verifies the fact that, for partial loop stagnated cases, the cold plume generated in the vessel downcomer due to the thermal stratification phenomena of the stagnated loop is almost neutralized by the strong flow of the unstagnated loop but is not fully eliminated.

  • In this paper, a noncoherent code tracking loop is designed for 3GPP MODEM and its performance is analyzed in terms of steady-state jitter variance and transient response characteristics. An analytical closed-form formula for steady-state jitter variance is Int derived for AWGN environments as a general function of a pulse-shaping filter, timing offset, signal-to-interference ratio, and loop bandwidth, together with the analysis on the transient response characteristic of a tracking loop. Based on the analysis, the code tracking loop with variable loop bandwidth that is efficient for full digital H/W implementation is designed and its performance is compared with that of the code tracking loop with fixed loop bandwidth, along with the verification by computer simulations.

  • When a cold HPSI (High Pressure Safety Injection) fluid associated with an design basis accident, such as LOCA (Loss of Coolant Accident), enters the cold legs of a stagnated primary coolant loop, thermal stratification phenomena will arise due to incomplete mixing. If the stratified flow enters a reactor pressure vessel downcomer, severe thermal stresses are created in a radiation embrittled vessel wall by local overcooling. Previous thermal-mixing analyses have assumed that the thermal stratification phenomena generated in stagnated loop of a partially stagnated coolant loop are neutralized in the vessel downcomer by strong flow from unstagnated loop. On the basis of these reasons, this paper presents the thermal-mixing analysis results in order to identify the fact that the cold plume generated in the vessel downcomer due to the thermal stratification phenomena of the stagnated loop is affected by the strong flow of the unstagnated loop.

  • A frequency-locked loop(FLL) is a negative-feedback system that uses a frequency detector to improve the phase noise of a voltage-controlled oscillator(VCO). In this work, a theoretical analysis of the phase noise of a VCO in an FLL is presented. The analysis shows that the phase noise of the VCO follows the phase noise determined by the frequency detector and the loop filter within the FLL loop bandwidth, while the phase noise of the VCO appears outside the loop bandwidth. Therefore, it is possible to design an FLL that minimizes the phase noise of the VCO based on the theoretical analysis results. The theoretical phase noise results were verified through experiments.

  • Solar array simulator (SAS) is essential equipment in testing and evaluating the power processing performance of a power conditioning system. However, the nonlinearity in the current(I)-voltage(V) characteristic makes the control loop design of SAS a challenging task. Conventionally, only the inner loop is usually considered in the control design approach. However, this study proves that the reference generation loop also interacts with the inner loop and plays a key role in the overall performance of the SAS. In this paper, the performance of voltage-mode control and impedance control, which are two of the most popular architectures for the SAS system, are reviewed and compared by multi-loop analysis.
