This paper presents vector fields, three dimensional mean velocities, turbulent intensities, turbulent kinetic energy and Reynolds shear stresses measured in the X-Y plane of the gas swirl burner with a cone type baffle plate by using an X-type hot-wire probe. This experiment is carried out at the flow rates of 350 and 450ℓ/min which are equivalent to the combustion air flow rate necessary to release 15,000 kcal/hr in a gas furnace. The results show that the maximum axial mean velocity component exists around the narrow slits situated radially on the edge of a burner. Therefore, there is some entrainment of ambient air in the outer region of a burner. The maximum values of turbulent intensities occur around the narrow slits and in front of a burner up to X/R=1.5. Moreover, the turbulent intensity components show a relatively large value in the inner region due to the flow diffusion and mixing processes between the inclined baffle plate and the swirl vane. Consequently, the combustion reaction is expected to occur actively near these regions.

Recently, gas turbines for power generation adopt multistage DLN(Dry Low NOx) type combustion, where diffusion combustion is applied at low load and, with increase in load, the combustion mode is changed to lean premixed combustion to reduce NOx emissive concentration. However, during the mode changeover from diffusion to premixed flame, unfavorable phenomena, such as flashback, high amplitude combustion oscillations, or thermal damage of combustor parts could frequently occur. In the present study, to apply for the analysis of such unfavorable phenomena, three-dimensional CFD investigations are carried out to compare the detailed flow characteristics and temperature distribution inside the gas turbine combustor before and after combustion mode changeover. The fuel considered here is pure methane gas. A standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model with wall function and a P-N type radiation heat transfer model, have been utilized. To analyze the complex geometric effects of combustor parts on combustion characteristics, fuel nozzles, a swirl vane f3r fuel-air mixing, and cooling air holes on the combustor liner wall, are included in this simulation.

The optimization of frontal device including fuel nozzle and swirler is required to secure the mixing of fuel and air, and the combustion stability in the gas turbine combustor design for the reduction of pollutant emissions and the increase of combustion efficiency. The effects of injection nozzle and swirler on the flow field, spray characteristics and consequently the combustion stability, were experimentally investigated by measuring the velocity field, droplet sizes of fuel spray, lean combustion limit and the temperature field in the main combustion region. The effect of fuel injection nozzle was tested by adopting three different nozzles; a dual orifice fuel nozzle, a hollow cone nozzle and a solid cone nozzle. These tests were combined with the three different swirler geometries; a dual-stage swirler with 40$^{\circ}$ /-4 5$^{\circ}$ vanes and two single-stage swirlers with 40$^{\circ}$ vane angle having 12 and 16vanes, respectively. Flow fields and spray characteristics were measured with APV(Adaptive Phase Doppler Velocimetry) under atmospheric condition using kerosine fuel. Temperatures were measured by Pt-PtI3%Rh, R-type thermocouple which was 0.2mm thick. It was found that the dual swirler resulted in the biggest recirculation zone with the highest reverse flow velocity at the central region, which lead the most stable combustion. The various combustion characteristics were observed as a function of the combination between the injector and swirler, that gave a tip for the better design of gas turbine combustor.

The comparison of the flow characteristics between circular and swirl jets which were controlled by the spinner attachment inside the airtube were conducted in this study. Swirl jet means a flow in whirls by mixing the flow of axial and tangential direction. Swirl flow has been used for the improvement of the combustion efficiency in the combustor. This flow is controlled by the spinner which has several vanes inclined by certain angles to the axial direction. In this study, angle of vane $30^{\circ}$ and diameter ratio of outlet to inlet of the airtube 0.73 were made. These spec. should find on the general gun type burner built in the domestic small size boiler. As the flow characteristics, axial and tangential velocities were measured by using the 2-D hot-wire velocimeter system and analyzed statistically. And also this research conducted a practical experiment considering to the attached belongings likes as ignitor, nozzle etc. on the airtube of the gun type burner. As a result, swirl occurred at the occasion of beingness and flow region extended considerably toward the radial direction. But effect of swirl did not transmit to the downstream. And the complicated flow was appeared regardless of the existence of spinner because of the effect of belongings.

본 연구는 multi fan 방식의 "공랭식 연소설비"의 공정관리상의 문제점을 single F.D. fan 으로 대체하여 개선시키기 위해 CFD 진행하였고, 연소로 내 유동조건 변화를 분석하여 문제점을 확인하였다. 이를 개선하기 위해 연소공기 주입구조를 변경하였고, 구조 변화에 따른 연소효율 개선을 수치해석으로 평가하였다. 또한 실제 연소설비에 수치해석결과를 반영하여 구조개선을 한 후 개선 전·후의 연소효율을 실험적으로 측정하였다. 먼저 기존 Single F.D fan 이 적용된 연소설비에 대한 수치해석을 통해, 2개의 유로로 공급되는 연소공기가 각 유로의 마찰력 차이와 압력의 변화로 인해 연소로 내에서 공급비율이 불규칙하게 되어 선회방식의 연소조건을 위한 축 형태의 난류형성이 어려움을 확인하였다. 이를 개선하기 위해서 연소로에 주입하는 공기 공급 방식을 두 가지로 나누어 수치해석을 하였다. 첫 번째 방식은 연소공기를 외벽에서 180 ~ 360° 회전 후 예열된 연소공기가 주입되는 구조에 대하여 검토하였고, 두 번째는 연소로 내에는 선회할 수 있는 베인(vane) 구조를 적용하여 연소로 밖에서 1차 열교환 후 연소로 내부에 접선방향으로 연소공기가 주입되는 구조에 대하여 검토하였다. 그 결과, single F.D. fan을 가진 공랭식 연소로에 선회방식으로 공기를 주입할 경우, 연소로 외벽의 냉각과 연소로 내부의 완전혼합 유지를 위해 이중 냉각벽을 가지는 덕트 구조를 적용하는 것이 연소조건을 최적화하는데 바람직한 것으로 나타났으며, 실제 운영중인 설비에 적용하여 개선 전·후의 연소효율을 비교한 결과 연소효율이 개선되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

The gun-type gas burner adopted in this study is generally composed of eight slits and swirl vanes. Thus, this paper is studied to investigate the effect of slits and swirl vanes on the turbulent flow fields in the horizontal plane of gas swirl burner with a cone type baffle plate measured by using X-probe from hot-wire anemometer system. This experiment is carried out at flow rate 450 $\ell$/min in the test section of subsonic wind tunnel. The axial mean velocity component in the case of burner model with only swirl vanes shows the characteristic that spreads more remarkably toward the radial direction than axial one, it does, however, directly opposite tendency in the case of burner model with only slits. Consequently. both slits and swirl vanes composing of gun-type gas burner play an important role in decrease of the speed near slits and increase of the flow speed in the central part of a burner because the biggest speed spurted from slits encircles rotational flow by swirl vanes and it drives main flow toward the axial direction. Moreover, the turbulent intensities and turbulent kinetic energy of gun-type gas burner are distributed with a fairly bigger size within X/R<0.6410 than burner models which have only slits or swirl vanes because the rotational flow by swirl vanes and the fast jet flow by slits increase flow mixing, diffusion, and mean velocity gradient effectively.

This paper is studied to investigate the effect of slits and swirl vanes on the development of turbulent flow fields in gun-type gas burner with a cone type baffle plate because this gas burner is generally composed of eight slits and swirl vanes. All of turbulent characteristics including mean velocities were measured in the horizontal plane and cross section by using X-type hot-wire probe from hot-wire anemometer system. This experiment is carried out at flow rate 450 l/min in the test section of subsonic wind tunnel. Slits cause the fast jets, and then they have the characteristic that the flow is not adequately spread to radial direction and has long flow length and very small flow velocity distribution in the central part. On the contrary, swirl vanes does not have long enough for adequate flow length to downstream because the rotational flow diffuses remarkably to radial direction. However, the suitable arrangement between slits and swirl vanes causes effective flow width and flow length, and then it promotes fast flow mixing over the entire region including central part to increase turbulence more largely and effectively. Therefore, it is thought as a very desirable design method in gun-type gas burner to locate slits on the outside of swirl vanes.

During the last four decades, 16 Pressurized Water Reactors (PWR) and 4 Pressurized Heavy Water Reactors (PHWR) have been constructed and operated in Korea, and nuclear fuel technology has been developed to a self-reliant state. At first, the PWR fuel design and manufacturing technology was acquired through international cooperation with a foreign partner. Then, the PWR fuel R&D by Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) has improved fuel technology to a self-reliant state in terms of fuel elements, which includes a new cladding material, a large-grained $UO_2$ pellet, a high performance spacer grid, a fuel rod performance code, and fuel assembly test facility. The MOX fuel performance analysis code was developed and validated using the in-reactor test data. MOX fuel test rods were fabricated and their irradiation test was completed by an international program. At the same time, the PWR fuel development by Korea Nuclear Fuel (KNF) has produced new fuel assemblies such as PLUS7 and ACE7. During this process, the design and test technology of fuel assemblies was developed to a self-reliant state. The PHWR fuel manufacturing technology was developed and manufacturing facility was set up by KAERI, independently from the foreign technology. Then, the advanced PHWR fuel, CANFLEX(CANDU Flexible Fuelling), was developed, and an irradiation test was completed in a PHWR. The development of the CANFLEX fuel included a new design of fuel rods and bundles.. The nuclear fuel technology in Korea has been steadily developed in many national R&D programs, and this advanced fuel technology is expected to contribute to a worldwide nuclear renaissance that can create solutions to global warming.

해안지역의 연약지반을 개량하기 위하여 연약지반 위에 모래를 포설하거나 모래다짐말뚝을 시공할 경우 점토와 모래가 서로 섞이는 경우가 많으며, 풍화된 사면의 표층에도 모래나 자갈 섞인 세립토가 많이 존재한다. 본 연구에서는 이와 같은 혼합토에 포함된 모래 함유량의 증가에 따른 점토의 액소성한계 및 전단강도 변화에 대해 연구하였다. 먼저 카올리나이트와 벤토나이트에 모래 함유량을 0, 9, 17, 23, 29, 33, 또는 50%까지 증가시키면서 액소성한계시험을 실시하였으며, 모래 함유량이 증가함에 따라 액소성한계는 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 다양한 모래 함유량을 가진 카올리나이트와 벤토나이트에 함수비를 10% 또는 20%씩 단계적으로 증가시키면서 토베인시험기를 이용하여 비배수전단강도를 측정하였다. 동일한 모래 함유량을 가진 공시체의 경우 특정 함수비에서 비배수전단강도가 급격히 감소하였으며, 공시체 내 모래 함유량이 증가할수록 배수가 발생하면서 비배수전단강도는 감소하였다. 한편 동일한 조건의 혼합토에 대한 직접전단시험을 실시하여 모래 함유량의 증가에 따른 점토-모래 혼합토의 점착력 및 내부마찰각을 측정하였다. 점토 내 모래 함유량이 증가함에 따라 점착력은 감소하였으며, 내부마찰각은 증가하는 경향을 보였다.
