In this study the reactor design procedure and method of solid-solid-gas chemical heat pump system using STELF technology were investigated. For manufacturing IMPEX block which is the kernel of reactor, proper salt pair should be selected, and equilibrium temperature drop and COP should be examined for selected salt pair. Moreover, apparent density, residual porosity, and graphite ratio should be calculated to give minimum block volume and mass, and maximum energy density without causing heat and mass transfer problems. Since heat exchange area can be changed with operating condition, reactor diameter, length, and stainless steel thickness should be decided for desired specifications. These procedure and method were applied to the case study of 6kW cold production and 8 hours storage capacity reactor.

We investigated the heat load imposed on the lower head of a reactor vessel by the natural convection of the oxide pool in a severe accident. Mass transfer experiments using a $CuSO_4-H_2SO_4$ electroplating system were performed based on the analogy between heat and mass transfer. The $Ra^{\prime}_H$ of $10^{14}$ order was achieved with a facility height of only 0.1 m. Three different volumetric heat sources were compared; two had identical configurations to those previously reported, and the other was designed by the authors. The measured Nu's of the lower head were about 30% lower than those previously reported. The measured angular heat flux ratios were similar to those reported in existing studies except for the peaks appearing near the top. The volumetric heat sources did not affect the Nu of the lower head but affected the Nu of the top plate by obstructing the rising flow from the bottom.

Diazotized chitin(CHITN) as supports of immobilized enzyme, which was obtained by alkaline hydrolysed chitin with NaN3 and HCI was employed to produce CHITN-Gase with glutaraldehyde as bifunctional reagent. Activities of CHITN-Gase were determined with reaction of p-nitro-pheol-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside(PNG) in plug flow reactor as a reference of CHITA-Gase. Their optimum temperature, pH, Km and Vmax, mass transfer coefficient (h), effctiveness factor(η)were plotted with variation of flow rate and H/D. Mass transfer coefficient(h) of those enzymes increased because of their flux, as flow rates were increased and controlled by reaction rate. Effectiveness factor(η) of both enzymes were nearly 1.0.

Radioactive iodine is a representative fission product to be quantified for the safety assessment of nuclear facilities. In integral severe accident analysis codes, the iodine behavior is usually described by a multi-physical model of iodine chemistry in aqueous phase under radiation field and mass transfer through gas-liquid interface. The focus of studies on iodine source term evaluations using the combination approach is usually put on the chemical aspect, but each contribution to the iodine amount released to the environment has not been decomposed so far. In this study, we attempted the decomposition by revising the two-film theory of molecular-iodine mass transfer. The model involves an effective overall mass transfer coefficient to consider the iodine chemistry. The decomposition was performed by regarding the coefficient as a product of two functions of pH and the overall mass transfer coefficient for molecular iodine. The procedure was applied to the EPICUR experiment and suppression chamber in BWR.

휘발성 유기화합물 저감기술인 담체충진형 바이오필터법은 운전이 용이하고 처리비용이 낮다는 장점에도 불구하고, 낮은 운전성능과 막힘현상 등의 문제를 안고 있다. 이에 대한 대안으로 계면활성제로 형성된 거품을 사용해 VOCs의 물질전달율과 분해효율을 향상시킨 미생물 반응기(Bioactive Foam Reactor. BFR)가 제안되었다. 본 연구에서는 VOCs 저감기술로서 BFR의 적용가능성을 확인하기 위하여 styrene를 대상으로 실험실 규모 반응기 실험을 수행하였다. 체류시간 30초에서 미생물이 포함되지 않은 abiotic 실험과 biotic실험을 통해 BFR의 물질전달계수($K_La$)와 기질분해율(k) 값을 선정하였으며, 여타 산기방식의 생물반응조에 비해 BFR 시스템의 물질전달율이 월등히 높음을 확인하였다. 동적부하 변동실험 결과 BFR 시스템은 유입 styrene 농도가 급변하는 상황에서도 안정적인 처리효율을 나타내었다. 또한 BFR의 최대분해능은 109 $g/m^3/hr$으로 높게 나타나, 충진담체를 이용하는 전통적인 바이오필터의 대안 기술로 BFR 시스템을 적용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

To investigate the heat loads imposed on a reactor vessel through the natural convection of core melts in severe accidents, mass transfer experiments were performed based on the heat transfer/mass transfer analogy, using two- (2-D) and three-dimensional (3-D) facilities of various heights. The modified Rayleigh numbers ranged from $10^{12}$ to $10^{15}$, with a fixed Prandtl number of 2,014. The measured Nusselt numbers showed a trend similar to those of existing studies, but the absolute values showed discrepancies owing to the high Prandtl number of this system. The measured angle-dependent Nusselt numbers were analyzed for 2-D and 3-D geometries, and a multiplier was developed that enables the extrapolation of 2-D data into 3-D data. The definition of $Ra^{\prime}_H$ was specified for 2-D geometries, so that results could be extrapolated for 3-D geometries; also, heat transfer correlations were developed.

본 연구에서는 방사성폐기물의 화학처리공정에 자주 사용되는 유동관식 장치 중 튜브형 반응기, 다단식 용매추출 장치, 흡착탑 등 물질전달이 수반되는 장치에 있어 각종 매개변수들이 반응수율이나 물질전달수율에 미치는 영향과 민감도를 살펴보았다. 먼저 각 장치에 대한 거동을 묘사하기 위하여 수학적 모델링을 수행하였고 전산모사를 통하여 해당 장치의 거동을 예측하였다. 그리고 그 결과로부터 해당 공정의 고유한 매개변수들이 반응수율 또는 물질전달수율에 미치는 영향과 민감도를 분석하였다. 튜브형 반응기에서는 확산계수, 반응속도상수 등이 반응수율에 미치는 영향을, 다단식 용매추출 장치에서는 연속상과 분산상의 분배계수, 연속상 흐름의 역혼합 등이 추출수율 및 장치 내 농도 분포에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. 또 흡착탑에 있어서는 흡착평형상수 및 유체-흡착재간 물질전달계수 등이 흡착 속도에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다.

During the postulated severe accident of nuclear reactor, eutectic reaction leads to low-temperature melting of fuel cladding and early failure of core structure. In order to model eutectic melting with the moving particle semi-implicit (MPS) method, the eutectic reaction model is developed to simulate the eutectic reaction phenomenon. The coupling of mass diffusion and phase diagram is applied to calculate the eutectic reaction with the uniform temperature. A heat transfer formula is proposed based on the phase diagram to handle the heat release or absorption during the process of eutectic reaction, and it can combine with mass diffusion and phase diagram to describe the eutectic reaction with temperature variation. The heat transfer formula is verified by the one-dimensional melting simulations and the predicted interface position agrees well with the theoretical solution. In order to verify the eutectic reaction models, the eutectic reaction of uranium and iron in two semi-infinite domains is simulated, and the profile of solid thickness decrease over time follows the parabolic law. The modified MPS method is applied to calculate Transient Reactor Test Facility (TREAT) experiment, the penetration rate in the simulations are agreeable with the experiment results. In addition, a hypothetical case based on the TREAT experiment is also conducted to validate the eutectic reaction with temperature variation, the results present continuity with the simulations of TREAT experiment. Thus the improved method is proved to be capable of simulating the eutectic reaction in the severe accident.

The fluid flow, heat transfer and the local mass fraction of chemical species in the chemical vapor deposition(CVD) manufacturing process are studied numerically. Flow with a dilute precursor concentration of silane in hydrogen as the carrier gas enters to the reactor and deposits silicon onto the heated surface. The silicon deposition rate using silane is calculated in the horizontal or vertical, axisymmetric reactor. The effects of inlet carrier gas velocity, mass fraction of silane, susceptor angle and rotation of surface on the deposition rate are described.

To develope chemical heat pump using available energy sources, solar heat and other kinds of waste thermal energy, we have studied the material and heat transfer rate in the cylindrical bed reactor packed with Calcined Dolomite. Our results from the studies are as follows ; 1 The time needed to complete dehydration reaction at the wall side of the cylindrical reactor(r/rL=0.5) was shorter than that of the center(r/rL=0.0) as much as 12%. 2. Two dimensional (radial and circumferential) partial differential equations, concerning heat and mass transfer rate in the packed bed of calcined Dolomite, are solved numerically to describe the characteristics of the reaction in the cylindrical reactor. The solution reads rate of reaction in the packed bed reactor depends on the temperature and concentration of reactants. These results read the supplied heat transfers from the wall side of the cylinder to the center, dehydration reaction begins at the inner side of the wall of the cylindrical reactor and the dehydration reaction proceeds from the wall side to center of cylinder.
