The analysis for the coolability of the reactor cavity in typical Korean 1000 MWe Nuclear Unit under severe accidents is performed using MELCOR 1.8.3 code. The key parameters molten core-concrete interaction(MCCI) such as melt temperature, concrete ablation history and gas generation are investigated. Total twenty cases are selected according to ejected debris fraction and coolant mass, The ablation rate of concrete decreases as mass of the melt decreases and coolant mass increases. Heat loss from molten pool to coolant is comparable to total decay heat, so concrete ablation is delayed until water is absent and crust begins to remove. Also, overpressurization due to non-condensible gases generated during corium and concrete interacts can cause to additional risk of containment failure. It is concluded that flooded reactor cavity condition is very important to minimize the cavity ablation and pressure load by non-condensible gases on containment.

The effects of vortex generators, in the form of small tabs projecting into the flow at the axisymmetric supersonic nozzle exit and triangular thin tapes attached on the inner surface at the nozzle exit, on the characterixtics of supersonic mixing enhancements are experimentally investigated. Delta-shaped tabs as small as 1% of the nozzle exit area produce strong counter-rotating vortices, and is found to produce significant effects on the jet flowfield downstream of the nozzle. The effects is larger on the under-expanded cases than over- and perfect-expanded cases. Nozzle inner surface roughness also can do a role of centerline pressure decay for highly under-expanded jet cases. The effects of the angle of tabs with respect to flow direction are also investigated.

Profiles of soot volume fraction, average diameter and particle number density have been measured using a light scattering and extinction technique in a coannular propane diffusion flame at atmosperic pressure. Temperature profiles were also obtained using a thermocouple technique. Measurements show that soot is first observed to form low in the flame in an annular region inside the main reaction zone. At higher locations this annular region widen until entire flame is observed to contain particles. Soot volume fraction and particle diameter profiles peak some 1mm on the fuel side of peak temperature and increase with height to oxidation region. Number density of the flame core drop steeply from formation region to growth region and relatively invariant to some height and decay out at flame tip.

An auditory experiment was conducted to establish annoyance criteria for floor impact noise in apartment buildings. Heavyweight floor impact sounds were recorded using an impact ball; the impact sound pressure level (SPL) together with the temporal decay rate (DR), which is quantified by the dB drop per second, was analyzed. For the experiment, A-weighted exposure levels of the heavy-weight floor impact sounds ranging 34~73 dB were evaluated at 3 dB intervals. Participants used a 7-point verbal scale to evaluate the level of annoyance from floor impact noise. The results show that the annoyance increases with increasing impact SPL and decreasing DR. Consequently, a classification and an acceptable level of floor impact sounds were proposed.

A sound field in a reverberation room is analyzed by using numerical methods and the SPL distributions are compared to the measurements. In numerical predictions, the BEM is employed in the low frequency range, while sound ray tracing method is used for the high frequency range. In the BEM analysis, the surfaces of the empty reverberation room are assumed as rigid boundaries and the damping coefficients are estimated from the measured absorption coefficient. The comparisons with measurements for 100Hz shows good agreement. In the sound ray tracing analysis, the predicted energy decay are in excellent agreements with theoretical results. It is shown that the energy absorption by air damping plays an important role as frequency becomes higher.

In this paper. we give pressure stimulation into organic ultra thin films and detected the induced displacement current proper ties, and then manufacture a device under the accumulation condition. In processing of a device manufacture. And electroluminescence(EL) from conjugated polymers has recently received great attention because polymer light-emitting diodes(LEDs) clealy have potential for applications such as large-area displays. The operation of polymer LEDs is based on double injection of electrons and holes from the elextrodes. followed by formation of excitons whose radiative decay results in light emission at wavelength characteristic to the material. In this paper, we fabricated the single layer EL device using $Alq_3$ as emitting material. According as turn on voltage could know about 5.5V in voltage-current characteristics and voltage rise, current could see that increase as non-linear, Current and ruminance can see that express similar relativity in voltage, and could know that ruminance is expressing current relativity.

This paper is concerned with the viscous interaction between rotor and stator The viscous interaction is caused by wakes from upstream blades. The cascade was composed with five blades and cylinders were placed to make wakes and their location was about 50 percent of blade chord upstream. The location of cylinders were varied in the cascade axis with 0, 20, 40, 60 and 80 percent of pitch length. The velocity distribution in the cascade passage were measured using single slanted hot-wire and the ones in the boundary layer using boundary probe. As a result, wakes decay more rapidly at suction surface and more slowly at pressure surface. And the measurement of momentum thickness of cascade shows that the momentum thickness is larger near the blade surface. From measurement of blade boundary layer, turbulent intensity is also larger near the blade surface because wakes collide the boundary layer And wakes make boundary layer thickness smaller and delay flow separation.

Three-dimensional flow measurements were conducted between the rotors of the CRP To understand mean flow phenomena of the CRP's, the results of the three-dimensional measurements were shown. Interaction noise of the CRP, which increases the overall ,level of sound pressure In the new propulsion system, is documented by using the double conditional sampling technique. The rear rotor will increase the axial flow between the rotors of a CRP depending upon the relative locations between the forward and the rear rotor blades. The decay and spreading of the forward wakes and the upstream propagation of the rear blade disturbances are shown along with the interaction of the flow disturbances by the two rotors of blades.

We evaluated the electric properties of Bi-2223 jointed tapes processed by both resistive-and superconducting-joint methods. For resistive-joint. filler materials of wood metal Pb/Sn. In and silver paste were used whereas for superconductive-joint lap joint method was used. In the resistive joint tape. critical transport property(CCR) n-value and contact resistance were observed to be in the range of 10-85% 1-8,9. and 0.71x10$\^$-6/-0.13x10$\^$-6/Ω, respectively. depending on their filler materials. Specifically it is believed that the electrical properties of resistive joint tape are significantly related to the resistivity of filler materials. On the other hand the CCR of superconductin joint type was varied 55 to 85% with uniaxial pressure probably due to the irregular microstructure in the transition region.

Bentonite buffer material is a critical component in an engineered barrier system (EBS) for disposing high-level radioactive waste (HLW). The bentonite buffer material protects the disposal canister from groundwater penetration and releases decay heat to the surrounding rock mass; thus, it should possess high thermal conductivity, low hydraulic conductivity, and moderate swelling pressure to safely dispose the HLWs. Bentonite clay is a suitable buffer material because it satisfies the safety criteria. Several additives have been suggested as mixtures with bentonite to increase the thermal-hydraulic-mechanical-chemical (THMC) properties of bentonite buffer materials. Therefore, this study investigated the geotechnical, mineralogical, and THMC properties of several candidate additives such as sand, graphite, granite, and SiC powders. Datasets obtained in this study can be used to select adequate additives to improve the THMC properties of the buffer material.
