Solid propellant gas generators (SPGG) play a role as a turbopump starter in liquid propellant propulsion systems by supplying pressurized gas to power turbines for engine start. For such a purpose, the propellants should burn with a relative low flame temperature and the combustion gas should not contain corrosive constituents such as chlorine compounds. In accordance with these requirements, stabilized AN-based propellants have been usually used as the most appropriate oxidizer for propellant compositions. However, the burning area of the propellant intends to increase to satisfy the required mass flux because of its low burning rate. Consequently the burning area incensement brings on the SPGG size augmentation. A flow restriction such as filters is applied to decrease the SPGG size by rising up the combustion pressure resulting in increasing the burning rate. The feasibility of the size reduction of SPGG by the employment of filters have been studied. The preliminary results of this study show that the considerable reduction of SPGG size would be achievable just by installing a filter with relatively high pressure loss coefficient.

The old technique of sandblasting which has been used for decoration of glass surface has recently been developed into a powder blasting technique for brittle materials such as glass, silicon and ceramics, capable of producing micro structures larger than 100${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. In this study, we introduced oblique powder blasting, and investigated the effect of the impacting angle of particles, the scanning times and the stand-off distance on the surface roughness and the weight-loss rate of samples with no mask, and the wall profile and overetching of samples with different mask pattern in powder blasting of soda-lime glass. The varying parameters were the different impact angles between 50$^{\circ}$ and 90$^{\circ}$, scanning times of nozzle up to 40 and the stand-off distances 70mm and 100mm. The widths of mask pattern were 0.2mm, 0.5mm and 1mm. The powder was alumina sharp particles, WA #600. The mass flow rate of powder during the erosion test was fixed constant at 175g/min and the blasting pressure of powder at 0.2Mpa.

Decomposition of Zizania latifolia was investigated with litterbag method for 13 months from November in 1998 to December in 1999, at the fringe of stream at Boryeong, Chungnam Province in Korea. After 13 months, remaining mass of leaves, culms and rhizomes was 16.9, 14.7, and 10.1%, respectively. Mass loss of the rhizomes was higher than those of the leaves and culms. The decay rate of leaves, culms and rhizomes was 1.86, 2.00 and 2.36 per year, respectively. Initial concentration of N, P, K, Ca, and Mg of leaves, culms and rhizomes was 18.0, 14.5, 44.0 mg/g for N,0.18, 0.12, 0.67 mg/g for P, 14.1 ,14.2, 14.8 mg/g for K,3.6, 1.5, 0.3 mg/g for Ca, 1.1, 0.5, 0.5 mg/g for Mg, respectively. Concentrations of N and P in rhizomes were higher than those in leaves and culms. Except for Mg in rhizomes, there was no immobilization period during the decomposition. Most of the N, P and Mg were lost during the first 3 months. In case of K and Ca, most were lost within 1 month.

Purpose: The objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of the conical solar concentrator (CSC) system, whose design is focused on increasing its collecting efficiency by determining the optimal conical angle through a theoretical study. Methods: The design and thermal performance analysis of a solar concentrator system based on a $45^{\circ}$ conical concentrator were conducted utilizing different mass flow rates. For an accurate comparison of these flow rates, three equivalent systems were tested under the same operating conditions, such as the incident direct solar radiation, and ambient and inlet temperatures. In order to minimize heat loss, the optimal double tube absorber length was selected by considering the law of reflection. A series of experiments utilizing water as operating fluid and two-axis solar tracking systems were performed under a clear or cloudless sky. Results: The analysis results of the CSC system according to varying mass flow rates showed that the collecting efficiency tended to increase as the flow rate increased. However, the collecting efficiency decreased as the flow rate increased beyond the optimal value. In order to optimize the collecting efficiency, the conical angle, which is a design factor of CSC, was selected to be $45^{\circ}$ because its use theoretically yielded a low heat loss. The collecting efficiency was observed to be lowest at 0.03 kg/s and highest at 0.06 kg/s. All efficiencies were reduced over time because of variations in ambient and inlet temperatures throughout the day. The maximum efficiency calculated at an optimum flow rate of 0.06 kg/s was 85%, which is higher than those of the other flow rates. Conclusions: It was reasonable to set the conical angle and mass flow rate to achieve the maximum CSC system efficiency in this study at $45^{\circ}$ and 0.06 kg/s, respectively.

Background Perforator flaps minimize abdominal site morbidity during autologous breast reconstruction. The purpose of this study was to assess whether the number of perforators harvested influences the overall deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap survival and flap-related complications. Methods A retrospective review was performed of all DIEP flaps performed at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania from 2006 to 2011. The outcomes assessed included flap loss and major complications. We compared flaps by the number of total perforators (1-4) and then carried out a subgroup analysis comparing flaps with one perforator to flaps with multiple perforators. Lastly, we conducted a post-hoc analysis based on body mass index (BMI) categorization. Results Three hundred thirty-three patients underwent 395 DIEP flaps. No significant differences were noted in the flap loss rate or the overall complications across perforator groups. However, the subgroup analysis revealed significantly higher rates of fat necrosis in the case of one-perforator flaps than in the case of multiple-perforator flaps (10.2% vs. 3.1%, P=0.009). The post-hoc analysis revealed a significant increase in the flap loss rate with increasing BMI (<30=2.0%, 30-34.9=3.1%, 35-39.9=3.1%, >40=42.9%, P<0.001) in the DIEP flaps, but no increase in fat necrosis. Conclusions This study demonstrates that the number of perforators does not impact the rate of flap survival. However, the rate of fat necrosis may be significantly higher in DIEP flaps based on a single perforator. Multiple perforators should be utilized if possible to decrease the risk of fat necrosis.

This paper studies the leaching behaviors of pyrochlore-rich synroc incorporated 46.8wt% simulated actinides waste under the five simulated geological disposal media, which included the bentonite, granite, granite ＋ ferroferric oxide, granite ＋ cement, bentonite ＋ ferroferric oxide, respectively. The mass loss rates reached to equilibrium after 182 day and was 10-7 g/$\textrm{mm}^2{\cdot}d$. That suggests the mass loss rate of pyrochlore-rich synroc, loaded 46.8wt% actinides waste, was very low. The surfaces of the leached specimens were analyzed by XRD, SEM/EDS. The experimental results show that the pyrochlore-rich synroc samples in the systems, which contained bentonite and cement, have two new phases formed on the leached specimens surface at $90^{\circ}C$ for 728d; The bentonite and cement can retard the elements leaching; $Fe_3O_4$ can speed the elements leaching; Expect for Ti ion depleted on the sample surface, other ion, such as U, Zr, AI, Ca, were in equable states and Ba ion was enriched during test time, which indicated the simulated disposal media have good ability to retard the leaching behavior of the pyrochlore-rich synroc.

We present recent data of absolute measurements of flux emmitted in the visible continua of some galactic Wolf-Rayet stars, carried out by means of a two-channel scanner built up cooperatively by the Observatoire de Lyon and the Laboratoire d'Astronomie Spatiale. Our measurements lead to the determination of stellar angular diameters which enable us to compute log $L_*/L_{\odot}$ and to locate the WR stars in the HR diagram: The WR stars are cooler than the zero age main sequence (ZAMS) and the WN7, WN8 types appear more luminous than other subclasses. The stellar wind terminal velocities, $V_{\infty}$, deduced from the empirical relation of the effective temperatures by Underhil1(1983) and $V_{\infty}$ adopted from the work of Willis(1982) show about 2,000km/s. We derived the rate of mass loss for the program stars from the formula, $\dot{M}={\varepsilon}(T_{eff})\;L/V_{\infty}{\cdot}c$ by using the obtained effective temperatures, luminosities and $V_{\infty}$ in this work. Their values range from $\dot{M}=1.4{\times}10^{-5}$ to $\dot{M}=5.8{\times}10^{-5}\;\dot{M}_{\odot}/yr$.

A numerical feasibility study was conducted to investigate the thermal-hydraulic characteristics of a steam generator with corrugated plates for a small modular reactor. Accordingly, a one-dimensional thermal-hydraulic analysis code was developed based on the existing state-of-the-art thermal-hydraulic models and correlations for corrugated plate heat exchangers. Subsequently, the pressure loss, heat transfer, and instability characteristics of the steam generator with corrugated plates were investigated according to the chevron angle and mass flux. Additionally, the characteristics of rectangular and disk-type corrugated plate steam generators with equivalent heat transfer areas were analyzed. The steam generator with disk-type corrugated plates exhibited better performance in terms of pressure loss and heat transfer rate than the rectangular type. In addition, when the mass flux decreased from the onset of boiling points, reverse gradients of the total pressure change were observed in both types. Thus, it was confirmed that Ledinegg instability could occur in the steam generator with corrugated plates. However, it was dependent on the chevron angle, and the optimal chevron angle to minimize instability was 45° under the conditions of the present analysis.

대형 선박의 추진용 디젤엔진에서 버려지는 배기가스의 열을 회수하기 위한 랭킨사이클이 적용된 발전시스템에 대하여 R245fa 및 water의 작동유체에 따른 그 엑서지 특성을 분석하였다. 그 이론적인 계산 결과로, R245fa에 대하여 터빈입구의 압력이 증가할수록 엑서지 효율 및 시스템의 엑서지 효율이 증가하였고, 엑서지 파괴율은 주로 응축기 및 증발기에서 상대적으로 높게 나타났다. 그리고 질량유량의 증가에 따라 시스템의 엑서지 효율이 증가하는 특성을 보였다. Water의 경우에, 증발기에서의 엑서지 파괴율은 R245fa의 경우와 유사하게 나타났지만, 터빈입구의 압력 및 질량유량 비율의 변동에 대하여 열원에 대한 엑서지 손실률이 가장 큰 폭으로 변동하였다.
