PHE(Process Heat Exchanger) is a key component required to transfer heat energy of $950^{\circ}C$ generated in a VHTR(Very High Temperature Reactor) to the chemical reaction that yields a large quantity of hydrogen. Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute established the gas loop for the performance test of components, which are used in the VHTR, and they manufactured a PHE prototype to be tested in the loop. In this study, as part of the high-temperature structural-integrity evaluation of the PHE prototype, which is scheduled to be tested in the gas loop, we carried out high-temperature structural-analysis modeling, thermal analysis, and thermal expansion analysis of the PHE prototype. The results obtained in this study will be used to design the performance test setup for the PHE prototype.

This work presents experimental results of filter media test by using particles from $0.02\;to\;0.6{\mu}m$ in diameter and by applying different charging states. In order to investigate the electret filter performance, the collection efficiency and the pressure drop of filter were measured. The face velocities of test filters varied from 2.4 to 20.4 cm/s. Another experiment setup for the cartridge cabin air filter was used to get an collection efficiency in submicron region. After charging level of electret filter severely decreased, the change of collection efficiency was verified. Experimental results show that the reliability of electret filters can be poor in some conditions.

This study presents a nondestructive test for underwater PVC pipes. To use guided ultrasonic waves, specially denoted by cylindrical Lamb waves, a test setup was made in a water tank using the pitch and catch mode and specimens were made to give artificial cutouts located in the circumferential direction of the pipes. Total three states of damaged levels were considered to see how the guided waves interact with the defects. For the experimental adjustments, three different pipe diameters (60, 90, 114 mm) were tested, and two factors - incident angle (10 and $40^{\circ}$) and distance (50 and 200 mm) - were tried. From the results, regardless of the diameters and two experimental factors, it is shown that the degrees of defects were recognized through amplitude and arrived time of the very first part of the received cylindrical Lamb waves. Between amplitude and arrived time, it is found that the amplitude gives more sensitive results.

A DC-magnetron inline sputter was established, and the influence of the base pressure on the structural characteristics of the ITO thin films was studied. When the inline sputter system was established and operated for ITO sputtering, its initial vacuum level did not go below $5\times10^{-6}$ torr. The vacuum leak test was conducted by measuring t he elapsed time until the vacuum level reached $1\times10^{-6}$ torr. The base pressure was successfully maintained at $1\times10^{-6}$ torr for 900 min, and the uniformity of the ITO film that had been deposited at this pressure significantly improved.

In this paper, broadband shunt technique for increasing transmission loss is experimentally investigated. Piezoelectric shunt damping is studied using resonant shunt circuit and negative capacitor shunt circuit. A resonant shunt circuit is implemented by using a resistor and inductor. Negative Capacitor shunt damping is similar in nature to resonant shunt damping techniques, as a single piezoelectric material is used to dampen multi-mode. Performance of both methods is experimentally studied for noise reduction. This is based upon SAE J1400 test method and a transmission loss measurement system is provided for it. This paper will present the test setup fer transmission loss measurement and the tuning procedure of shunt circuits. Finally the results of sound transmission tests will be shown.

Demands of high volume dry vacuum pumps on the domestic semiconductor and LCD industries are rapidly increasing as the size of wafers and LCD is increasing. This study introduces a new experimental setup for testing the reliability of vacuum pumps. The test system was designed to measure the acoustic pressure and mechanical vibration levels simultaneously. It is shown that the test system enables the analysis and evaluation of the performance of dry pumps under the different gas-load conditions. Detailed experimental result are shown to enable us to examine the characteristics and performance of dry pumps.

Viscoelastic materials shows the characteristics of elasticity and viscosity. Unlike metals which show negligible damping value, the damping characteristics of viscoelastic materials like rubber mounts is very important in the analysis of the dynamic system. So there has been a great interest in measuring the damping characteristics of viscoelastic materials. There are two kinds of methods which the damping characteristics can be measured. One is the resonant method where loss factor can be measured only in the resonant frequency. The other is the nonresonant method which is characterized by the impedance method are introduced. The impedance test results, the loss factor by the impedance method are compared to the results of the resonant method and recommendations in the experimental setup are suggested.

Contact pressure distribution between PVA brush and semiconductor wafer was measured by developing a test setup which could simulates the post CMP cleaning process. The test set-up used thin film type pressure sensor which could measure the pressure distribution of contact area with the resolution of $15.5ea/cm^2$. As the experimental results, it was verified that there had been severe contact pressure non-uniformity along the axis of the brush and between the adjacent projections on the brush's surface. These results should be considered when developing post CMP cleaning stage or designing the PVA brush.

In this paper, measuring programs for EMC type tests in the railway environments were designed and developed the train harmonic current in ATP frequency band and psophometric current using PXI components and LabVIEW software form National Instruments. As real time applications for EMC tests, harmonic current and psophometric current results of the train were also presented. This new measuring programs for EMC tests in the train are expected to increase test reliability and real-time performance.

This paper presents an experimental investigation about visualization of bulging development of geosynthetic-encased stone column (GESC) based on the digital image correlation (DIC) technique and transparent soil. Visual model tests on GESC and ordinary stone column (OSC) were carried out. In order to delete the warping effect resulting from transparent soil and experiment setup, a modification for experiment results was performed. The bulging development process of the GESC and the displacement field of the surrounding soil were measured. By comparing with the existing experimental and theoretical results, it demonstrates that the model test system developed for studying the continuous bulging development of GESC is suitable. The current test results show that the bulging depth of GESC ranges from 1.05 to 1.40 times the diameter of GESC. The influence depth of GESC bulging on surrounding soil displacement is 0~3 the times diameter of GESC.
