A computational study of evaluation of current turbulence models is performed for a better prediction of thermal stratification in an upper plenum of a liquid metal reactor. The turbulence models tested in the present study are the two-layer model, the shear stress transport (SST) model, the v2-f model and the elliptic blending mode(EBM). The performances of the turbulence models are evaluated by applying them to the thermal stratification experiment conducted at JNC (Japan Nuclear Corporation). The algebraic flux model is used for treating the turbulent heat flux for the two-layer model and the SST model, and there exist little differences between the two turbulence models in predicting the temporal variation of temperature. The v2-f model and the elliptic blending model better predict the steep gradient of temperature at the interface of thermal stratification, and the v2-f model and elliptic blending model predict properly the oscillation of the ensemble-averaged temperature. In general the overall performance of the elliptic blending model is better than the v2-f model in the prediction of the amplitude and frequency of the temperature oscillation.

Evaluation of the elliptic blending turbulence model (EBM) together with the two-layer model, shear stress transport (SST) model and elliptic relaxation model (V2-F) is performed for a better prediction of natural convection and thermal stratification. For a natural convection problem the models are applied to the prediction of a natural convection in a rectangular cavity and the computed results are compared with the experimental data. It is shown that the elliptic blending model predicts as good as or better than the existing second moment differential stress and flux model for the mean velocity and turbulent quantities. For thermal stratification problem the models are applied to the thermal stratification in the upper plenum of liquid metal reactor. In this analysis there exist much differences between the turbulence models in predicting the temporal variation of temperature. The V2-F model and EBM better predict the steep gradient of temperature at the interface of thermal stratification, and the V2-F model and EBM predict properly the oscillation of temperature. The two-layer model and SST model fail to predict the temporal oscillation of temperature.

The three-dimensional hydrodynamic model was simulated to understand coastal sea front of formation and seasonal variation in the Southern Sea of Korea. In this study, we used to concept of stratification factor, to realize seasonal distribution of stratification coefficient which of seasonal residual flow, considered with, tide, wind and density effect. Tidal current tends to flow westward during the flood and eastward during ebb. The current by the wind stress showed to be much stronger the coastal than the offshore area in the surface layer. And the current by the horizontal gradient of water density showed to be relatively weak in the coastal area, with little seasonal differences. On the other hand, the flow in the offshore area showed results similar to that of the Tsushima Warm Current. The stratification factor (SHv) was calculated by taking into account the total flow of tide, wind and density effect. In summer, the calculated SHv distribution ranged from 2.0 to 2.5, similar to that of the coastal sea front. The horizontal temperature gradient showed to be strong during the winter, when the vertical stratification is weak. On the other hand, the horizontal gradient became weak in summer, during which vertical stratification is strong. Therefore, it is presume that the strength of vertical stratification and the horizontal temperature gradient affect the position of the coastal sea front.

The main target of this study is to investigate nonlinear transient responses of moving polymer nano-size plates fortified by means of Graphene Platelets (GPLs) and resting on a Winkler-Pasternak foundation under a transverse pressure force and a temperature variation. Two graphene spreading forms dispersed through the plate thickness are studied, and the Halpin-Tsai micro-mechanics model is used to obtain the effective Young's modulus. Furthermore, the rule of mixture is employed to calculate the effective mass density and Poisson's ratio. In accordance with the first order shear deformation and von Karman theory for nonlinear systems, the kinematic equations are derived, and then nonlocal strain gradient scheme is used to reflect the effects of nonlocal and strain gradient parameters on small-size objects. Afterwards, a combined approach, kinetic dynamic relaxation method accompanied by Newmark technique, is hired for solving the time-varying equation sets, and Fortran program is developed to generate the numerical results. The accuracy of the current model is verified by comparative studies with available results in the literature. Finally, a parametric study is carried out to explore the effects of GPL's weight fractions and dispersion patterns, edge conditions, softening and hardening factors, the temperature change, the velocity of moving nanoplate and elastic foundation stiffness on the dynamic response of the structure. The result illustrates that the effects of nonlocality and strain gradient parameters are more remarkable in the higher magnitudes of the nanoplate speed.

One-dimensional modeling of $CH_4$/air premixed flame was conducted to validate the heat loss model and investigate NOx formation characteristics in the postflame region. The predicted temperature and NO concentration were compared to experimental data and previous heat loss model results using a constant gradient of temperature (100 K/cm). The following conclusions were drawn. In the heat loss model using steady-state heat transfer equation, the numerical results using the effective heat loss coefficient ($h_{eff}$) of $1.0\;W/m^2K$ were in very good agreement with the experiments in terms of temperature and NO concentration. On the other hand, the calculated values using the constant gradient of temperature (100 K/cm) were lower than that in the experiments. Although the effects of heat loss suppress NO production near the flame region, a significant difference in NO concentration was not found compared to that under adiabatic conditions. In the postflame region, however, there were considerable differences in NO emission index as well as the contribution of NO formation mechanisms. In particular, in the range of ${\phi}\;{\geq}\;0.8$, the prompt NO mechanism plays an important role in the NO reduction under the adiabatic condition. On the other hand, the mechanism contributes to the NO production under the heat loss conditions.

포장내의 흙들의 함수비는 강우, 온도 등의 기후적 요인에 따라 계절적으로 변화한다. 그것은 강우로인한 동수경사가 습기의 흐름을 유발하고, 온도변화로 인한 온도경사가 직.간접적으로 열흐름뿐만아니라 습기의 흐름을 유발하기 때문이다. 포장내의 흙들은 보통 불포화상태로 존재한다. 그리고 열의 흐름과 습기의 흐름은 상호간에 복잡한 작용을 하는 복합적인 과정들로 인식되어 왔다. 이 논문은 불포화토내의 복합적인 열의 흐름과 습기의 흐름에 대해 유한요소법을 이용한 하나의 일차원적 분석모델을 제시한다. 이 모델은 온도와 함수비 변화뿐만아니라 시간에 따른 동상을 예측하기 위하여 사용될 수 있다. 온도 및 함수비의 변화 그리고 동상의 예측은 포장의 설계 및 유지관리를 위해 의미 있는 일이 될 것이다. 이 모델은 다른 모델의 결과들과 비교를 통해서 검증된다.

This paper proposes an improved mathematical model for predicting the frosting behavior on a two-dimensional fin considering the heat conduction of heat exchanger fins under frosting conditions. The model consists of laminar flow equation in airflow, diffusion equation of water vapor for frost layer, and heat conduction equation in fin, and these are coupled together. In this model, the change in three-dimensional airside airflow caused by frost growth is accounted for. The fin surface temperature increased toward the fin tip due to the fin heat conduction. On the contrary, the temperature gradient in the airflow direction(x-dir.) is small throughout the entire fin. The frost thickness in the direction perpendicular to airflow, i.e. z-dir., decreases exponentially toward the fin tip due to non-uniform temperature distribution. The rate of decrease of heat transfer in the airflow direction is high compared to that in the z-direction due to more decrease in the sensible and latent heat rate in x-direction.

Polysilicon surface mdoification tecnique is developed to reduce the sticking of microstructures fabricated by micromachining. Modified anti-sticking grain holes are simply formed by two-step dry eth without additional photolithography nor deposition of thin films. Both process-induced sticking and in-use sticking are successfully reduced more than two times by adopting grain holed polysilicon substrate. A sticking model for cantilever beam is derived. This model includes bending moment stems from stress gradient along the thickness directionof structural polysilicon. Because the surface tension of rinse liquid and the surface energy of the solids to be stuk tend to decrease in recently developed anti-sticking techniques, the effect of stress gradient will play an important role to analyze the sticking phenomena. Effect of the temperature during post-release rinse and dry is modelled and verified experimentally. Based on developed anti-sticking polysilicon structure and the sticking model, sticking of microstructure, fabricated by simple wet process including sacrificial layer etch and rinse with deionized water without special equimpment for post-release rinse and dry was alleviated more than 3.5 times.

The effects of material nonhomogeneity and nonisothermal conditions on the stress response of pressurized tubes are assessed by virtue of a computational model. The modulus of elasticity, the Poisson's ratio, the yield strength, and the coefficient of thermal expansion, are assumed to vary nonlinearly in the tube. A logarithmic temperature distribution within the tube is proposed. Under these conditions, it is shown that the stress states and the magnitudes of response variables are affected significantly by both the material nonhomogeneity and the existence of the radial temperature gradient.

A constant-volume combustion chamber is developed to measure the burnt gas temperature over the wide ranges of equivalence ratio from 1.5 to 2.7 and pressure from 0.1 to 2.7 and pressure from 0.1 to 6 MPa by two-color method. The combustion temperature is also calculated by the conventional two-region model. The premixed fuel rich propane-oxygen-inert gas mixtures under high pressures are simultaneously ignited by eight spark plugs located on the circumference of combustion chamber with 45 degree intervals. The eight converging flames compress the end gases to high pressures. The transmissiv-ity in the chamber center during the final stage of combustion at the highest pressure is measured by in situ laser extinction method. Comparisons are made with the combustion temperatures between two-color method and two-region model. It is found that the burnt gas temperature mea-sured by two-color method is higher than that calculated by two-region model because of being the negative temperature gradient on the calculation and the temperature distribution of light path-length on the measurement and the burnt gas temperature for the turbulent combustion is higher than that of the laminar combustion under the same conditions because the heat loss for turbulent combustion is lower due to the shorter combustion period.
