  • Aspen plus는 Aspentech사에서 개발한 공정모사용 프로그램으로서 다양한 화학종의 열역학적 자료를 기반으로 공정설계, 공정최적화, 공정모니터링 등 공정개발에 활용되고 있다. 연료개질기는 수증기 개질반응, 수성가스전이반응, 선택적화학반응으로 구성된 소규모 수소생산공정에 해당된다. 따라서 Aspen 전산모사를 통해 다양한 조건에서의 운전결과를 모사하여 개질기에 미치는 영향을 분석함으로써 운전조건을 최적화 할 수 있다. 연료개질기의 성능에 영향을 미치는 주요인자는 주로 수증기개질 촉매층 출구온도 및 수증기/탄소 비이다. 수증기개질 촉매층의 출구온도를 $660{\sim}740^{\circ}C$로 변화시키면서 개질가스의 조성, 카본 전환율, 개질효율 등을 비교 분석하였다. 또한 수증기/탄소 비를 3~5의 범위에서 변화시키면서 영향을 살펴보았다. 수증기개질 촉매층의 온도가 높을수록 수소생산량이 증가에 따른 효율 증가가 나타났으며 수증기/탄소 비가 증가할 경우에도 개질효율에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였다. 하지만 실제 개질기의 운전에서는 소재의 제약에 따라 운전 온도에 제약이 있으며 수증기/탄소비의 증가 역시 개질기의 부피 증가로 이어지는 단점이 있다는 것을 고려해야 한다. 따라서 반응기 재질, 크기, 운전온도와 개질효율과의 상관관계를 파악하여 개질기의 특성을 최적화 하여야 한다.

  • In this study, we prepared cadmium phosphate glasses with various compositions, given by $xCdO-(100-x)P_2O_5$ (x = 10-55 mol%), and analyzed their Fourier transform infrared spectra, dissolution rate, thermal expansion coefficient, glass transition temperature, glass softening temperature, and optical band gap. We found that the thermal expansion coefficient and dissolution rate increased while the glass transition temperature and glass softening temperature decreased with increasing CdO content. These results suggest that CdO acts as a network modifier in binary phosphate glass and weakens its structure.

  • Traditionally nuclear thermal hydraulic and nuclear safety has relied on numerical simulations to predict the system response of a nuclear power plant either under normal operation or accident condition. However, this approach may sometimes be rather time consuming particularly for design and optimization problems. To expedite the decision-making process data-driven models can be used to deduce the statistical relationships between inputs and outputs rather than solving physics-based models. Compared to the traditional approach, data driven models can provide a fast and cost-effective framework to predict the behavior of highly complex and non-linear systems where otherwise great computational efforts would be required. The objective of this work is to develop an AI algorithm to predict the peak fuel cladding temperature as a metric for the successful implementation of FLEX strategies under extended station black out. To achieve this, the model requires to be conditioned using pre-existing database created using the thermal-hydraulic analysis code, MARS-KS. In the development stage, the model hyper-parameters are tuned and optimized using the talos tool.

  • We propose a real time gas monitoring system for classifying various gases with different concentrations. Using thermal modulation of operating temperature of two sensors, we extract patterns of gases from the voltage across the load resistance. We adopt the relative resistance as a pre-processing method and an ART2 neural network as a pattern recognition method. The proposed method has been implemented in a real time embedded system with tin oxide gas sensors, TGS 2611, 2602 and an MSP430 ultra-low power microcontroller in the test chamber.

  • There are many problems with the fire detection devices being used in currently, because it is difficult to find location of the source of fire and determine where devices are working or not. In this paper, we proposed fire detection and rescue system using wireless sensor network that can be real-time monitoring and determine safe exit. Fire detection and rescue system based on ubiquitous sensor network can know exactly source of fire and help determine rescue tactics using sensing data from wireless sensor nodes. Transmitted wirelessly in real-time thermal sensor and gas sensor information to analyze the GUI to monitor the status information output to the screen by use of a system implemented in everyday life, looked at the possibility.

  • This paper presents a new approach to the design of cruise control system of a mobile robot with two drive wheel. The proposed control scheme uses a Gaussian function as a unit function in the fuzzy-neural network, and back propagation algorithm to train the fuzzy-neural network controller in the framework of the specialized learning architecture. It is proposed a learning controller consisting of two neural network-fuzzy based on independent reasoning and a connection net with fixed weights to simply the neural networks-fuzzy. The performance of the proposed controller is shown by performing the computer simulation for trajectory tracking of the speed and azimuth of a mobile robot driven by two independent wheels.

  • Simulation models have been developed to predict the overall behavior of the CANDU plant systems during normal operational transients. For real time simulation purpose, simplified thermal hydraulic models are applied with appropriate system control logics, which include primary heat transport system solver with its component models and secondary side system models. The secondary side models are mainly used to provide boundary conditions for primary system calculation and to accomodate plant power control logics. Also, for the effective use of simulation package, hardware oriented basic simulation network has been established with appropriate graphic display system. Through validation with typical plant power maneuvering cases using proven plant performance analysis computer code, the present simulation package shows reasonable capability in the prediction of the dynamic behavior of plant variables during operational transients of CANDU plant, which means that this simulation tool can be utilized as a basic framework for full scope simulation network through further improvements.
