Experimental studies on single-phase toroidal circulation loop(thermosyphon) have been performed in the present study with Ag-nanofluids as a working fluids. The present paper deals with an experimental study on the heat transfer behavior of single-phase toroidal loop. Toroidal loop charged with nanofluid has been constructed and a number of tests have been carried out. Different geometric parameter, e.g., orientation has been investigated. The tests were conducted employing two fluids: distilled water and Ag-nanofluid of various volume concentrations. The experiments at Rayleigh number from $10^5$ to $10^6$ showed a systematic and slight deterioration in natural convective heat transfer. It was observed that the deterioration due to the particle concentration was in the range of 5-10%. At a given particle concentration of 0.05%, abrupt decrease in the Nusselt number and the Raleigh number was observed. The present study with toroidal loop shows that the application of nanofluids for heat transfer intensification should not be decided only by the effective thermal conductivity with increasing particle concentration.

토로이드 형태의 자성분말합금 코어의 경우 major B-H loop을 측정하기 위해서는 수십 kA/m 이상의 높은 자화력을 인가하여야 한다. 이 경우 측정과정에서 일차코일에 권선된 에나멜 동선에서 발생하는 열 때문에 측정이 매우 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 토로이드 형태의 자성분말합금 코어 major B-H loop을 직접 측정할 수 있는 장치를 설계 제작하고, 그 성능을 측정하였다. 수십 kA/m 이상의 자화력을 인가하기 위하여 최대 전류가 $100A_P$인 전력 증폭기와 측정 시간 중에 높은 전류에 의하여 코일 권선에서 발생하는 열 문제를 해결하기 위하여 실시간으로 자기 이력 곡선을 측정 할 수 있게 실시간으로 B-H 신호를 디지털신호로 변환하여 컴퓨터 소프트웨어에서 자속밀도 B 와 자화력 H 값을 계산하고, 이 값들로 부터 주요 자기 특성인 최대자속밀도 $B_{max}$, 최대 자화력 $H_{max}$, 보자력 $H_c$, 잔류자속밀도 $B_r$ 및 형상인자(FF)를 계산하여 가상계측기(VI)창으로 표시 할 수 있게 하였다. 제작된 장치를 이용하여 외경이 134 mm, 내경이 77 mm, 높이가 42 mm인 자성분말코어에 일차 코일을 직경이 1 mm인 에나멜 동선을 401회 권선하고 이차 코일을 직경이 0.2 mm인 에나멜 동선 5회 권선하여 측정을 하여 본 결과 최대 인가 자기장을 50 kA/m까지 인가하면서 자기이력곡선을 측정 할 수 있었다.

The wall friction correlations of oscillatory natural circulation loops are highly loop-specific, making it difficult to perform 1-D system simulations before obtaining specific experimental data. To better predict the friction characteristics, the nonlinear dynamics of a toroidal single-phase natural circulation loop were numerically investigated, and the transition effect was considered. The k-k_L-ω transitional turbulence and k-ω SST turbulence models were used to compute the flow characteristics of the loop under different heating powers varying from 0.48 to 1.0 W/cm², and the results of both models were compared with previous experiments. The mass flow rates and friction factors predicted by the k-k_L-ω model showed a better agreement with the experimental data than the results of the k-ω SST model. The oscillation frequencies calculated using both models agreed well with the experimental data. The k-k_L-ω transitional turbulence model provided better friction-factor predictions in oscillatory natural circulation loops because it can reproduce the temporal and spatial variation of the wall shear stress more accurately by capturing the movement of laminar, transition turbulent zones inside unstable natural circulation loops. This study shows that transition effects are a possible explanation for the highly loop-specific friction correlations observed in various oscillatory natural circulation loops.

Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) is a critical eukaryotic replication accessory factor that supports DNA binding in DNA processing, such as DNA replication, repair, and recombination. PCNA consists of three toroidal-shaped monomers that encircle double-stranded DNA. The diverse functions of PCNA may be regulated by its interactions with partner proteins. Many of the PCNA partner proteins generally have a conserved PCNA-interacting peptide (PIP) motif, located at the N- or C- terminal region. The PIP motif forms a 3₁₀ helix that enters into the hydrophobic groove produced by an interdomain-connecting loop, a central loop, and a C-terminal tail in the PCNA. Post-translational modification of PCNA also plays a critical role in regulation of its function and binding partner proteins. Structural and biochemical studies of PCNA-protein will be useful in designing therapeutic agents, as well as estimating the outcome of anticancer drug development. This review summarizes the characterization of eukaryotic PCNA in relation to the protein structures, functions, and modifications, and interaction with proteins.

Magnetite was prepared by wet method and oil-based magnetic fluid also was prepared by its magnetite. Ahead of making magnetite, we investigated the variation of physical properties for changing $Fe^{3+}/Fe^{2+}$. Through the variation of the process mixing time, pH, magnetite content, we made magnetic fluid of magnetite. We examined the magnetic and frequency property by a toroidal mold. In result $Fe^{3+}/Fe^{2+}=1.2$, over the minute mixing time property of magnetite, Ms was 61.98 emu/g. Moreover, the B-H loop result indicated that the magnetic fluid followed paramagnetic behavior.

토카막(Tokamak)에서는 플라즈마(plasma)로 불순불(impurity)의 유입을 방지하기 위해 고진공을 유지해야 하며 이를 위해 가열탈리(backing), 방전세정(discharge codanning) 등 wall conditioning이 기본적으로 요구된다. KT-1 토카막은 실험실 이전에 따른 해체로 인해 진공용기(vacuum vessel) 가 대기압 하에 수개월 동안 노출되어 있었기 때문에 재조립 후 가열 탈 리가 필수적이나 진공용기의 외부에 saddle loop coil을 비롯해 Rogowski, diamagnetic coil, poloidal field coil 등 많은 magnetic pick up coil 들이 설치되어 있어 열선 등 일반적인 방법으로 가열 탈 리가 어려운 상황이다. 따라서 KT-1 토카막에서는 전자석 코일에 상전원을 부가하였을 때 진공용기에 발생하는 유도가열 (inductive heatin)을 이용해 가열 탈리를 시도하였다. 유도 가열 탈리(inductive backing)는 토로이달 자장 코일(toroidal field coil)과 가열 저장 모일(ohmic heating coil)을 각각 이용하여 코일의 온도가 6$0^{\circ}C$ 이하가 유지되는 코일 전류 범위내에서 수행하였으며 먼저 이 둥 경우에 있어서 진공용기의 온도분포를 비교하엿다. 그리고 가열 탈리 기간 및 그 전, 후의 진공압력과 잔류기체 분압을 측정, 분석하였다. 유도가열에 의한 방법으로 KT-1 토카막에서 얻은 탈리온도는 12$0^{\circ}C$정도로 비교적 낮았으나 탈리 시간을 연장하여 탈리효과를 어느 정도 보상할 수 있으며 일반적인 가열 탈리가 여려운 경우 유도 가열 탈 리가 채택될 수 있는 또 하나의 방법이라 볼 수 있다.

Accuracy of gas flow measurements using sonic nozzle and factors which influence on the discharge coefficients of sonic nozzle are investigated with high pressure gas flow standard measurement system. The gas flow measurement system comprises two compressors, storage tank, temperature control loop, sonic nozzle test section, weighing tank, gyroscopic scale and data acquisition system. The experiments are performed at various nozzle throat diameter and inlet pressure. Overall uncertainty of discharge coefficients is estimated to less than .+-.0.2% and most of experimental data fall into this range. Dependence of discharge coefficients on the Reynolds number is good agreement with those suggested in ISO document. The influence of swirl on the discharge coefficients becomes greater as the nozzle throat diameter is enlarged. The discharge coefficient of conical nozzle shows about 4.5% lower discharge coefficients than those of toroidal nozzle, but variation trend with Reynolds number is very similar each other and reproducibility of data is very good.

KAERIT 토카막 장치의 플라즈마 생성을 위한 수소기차 방전실험에 관해 기술하였다. 이 실험에서는 일주전압, 토로이달 자장, 충전기체 압력, 오차자장 및 예비전리 등이 방전시작에 미치는 영향이 연구되었다. 오차자장은 방전에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 인자로서 방전전압이 최소가 되는 것은 결국 오차자장 성분을 가장 잘 상쇄시켰을 때였다. 예비전리의 효과는 전반적으로 두드러지지는 않았지만 밀폐 성능이 나쁠수록 상대적으로 크게 나타났다. 실험적으로 구해진 방전시작조건은 이론적인 모델의 계산결과와 비교하였다. 실험에서의 방전영역이 이론적인 계산결과에 비해 줄어드는 경향을 보이고 있는 것은 고려되지 않은 다른 인자에 기인하는 것으로 판단되지만 토카막의 방전시작단계를 다루기에는 이 모델로도 충분하다.

This paper analyzes the magnetic property according to the machined shape of steel material with non-oriented silicon steel (50PN470/50A470), that is most commonly used in the design of electrical equipment. Toward this end, specimens were produced and divided into Bar-Specimen (Epstein Frame Tester) and Ring-Specimen (Toroidal Ring Tester). The characteristics of the electrical Silicon steel were measured using the instruments solely dedicated to measuring each specimen. The core loss of the Bar-Specimen, which is commonly used, was found to be less than that of the Ring-Specimen. This is a very important design factor in achieving the objectives of improving the product efficiency and predicting the performance of electrical equipment. It serves as a critical point of view in order to reduce the error between design value and product value. A comparative analysis was conducted regarding various characteristics (Hysteresis, B-H characteristic, Iron loss, Minor loop, Coercive force, Residual magnetic flux density, etc.) of the electrical silicon steel considered in the design of the electrical equipment according to the specimen.

This paper presents transport current non-uniformity in a joint for superconducting multistage cable-in-conduit conductor (CICC) and relaxation in the CICC. The joint is considered to have a current loop linked to an external magnetic field so that it becomes an emf voltage source. It is numerically analyzed using an electrical transmission line model. The inductive current in a resistive joint is compared to that of a non-resistive joint when the ramping field is applied vertically to the joints. Regarding the parameter values of the model. a full scale $Nb_3Sn$ CICC and a strand-to-strand (STS) joint for the toroidal field magnet of the KSTAR (Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research) device are referenced to. It is found that the resistive joint prevents the current from rising too much and enhances decaying the current when the ramping stops. The 'flattop' current is found to be proportional to the ramp rate of the field (dB/dt). The relaxation length, which is defined as the length within which the maximum induced current falls by 1/e. is found to saturate within 0.27m.
