To improve the heat transfer efficiency of the reactor fuel assembly, it is necessary to accurately calculate the two-phase flow boiling characteristics and the critical heat flux (CHF) in the fuel assembly. In this paper, a Eulerian two-fluid model combined with the extended wall boiling model was used to numerically simulate the 5 × 5 fuel rod bundle with spacer grids (four sets of mixing vane grids and four sets of simple support grids without mixing vanes). We calculated and analyzed 11 experimental conditions under different pressure, inlet temperature, and mass flux. After comparing the CHF and the location of departure from the nucleate boiling obtained by the numerical simulation with the experimental results, we confirmed the reliability of computational fluid dynamic analysis for the prediction of the CHF of the rod bundle and the boiling characteristics of the two-phase flow. Subsequently, we analyzed the influence of the spacer grid and mixing vanes on the void fraction, liquid temperature, and secondary flow distribution. The research in this article provides theoretical support for the design of fuel assemblies.

Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a solid state welding that could successfully weld the difficult-to-weldmaterials such as an aluminum alloy. In this welding process, the stirrer of the welding tool is one of the important factors for producing the perfect sound joint that indicates the higher joint strength. So, this report aims to apply the friction stir welding using various stirrer geometries to weld the AA6063-T1 aluminum alloy butt joint, investigates the mechanical properties of the joint and then compares the mechanical properties with the microstructure of the joint. An experiment was started by applying the friction stir welding process to weld a 6.3 mm thickness of AA6063-T1 aluminum alloy butt joint. A study of the stirrer geometries effect such as a cylindrical geometry, a cone geometry, a left screw geometry and a right screw geometry at a rotational speed of 2000 rpm and a welding speed of 50-200 mm/min was performed. The mechanical properties such as a tensile strength and a hardness of the joint were also investigated and compared with the microstructure of the joint. The results are as follows. A variation of FSW Stirrer shape directly affected the quality AA6063-T1 aluminum alloy butt joint. A cylindrical stirrer shape and a cone stirrer shape produced the void defect at the bottom part of the weld metal and initiated the failure of the joint when the joint was subjected to the load during the tensile test. Left and right screw stirrer shapes gave the sound joint with no void defect in the weld metal and affected to increase the joint strength that was higher than that of the aluminum base metal.

In this study, the porous glass media was utilized as biomass carrier, and the optimum characteristics of this new media in fixed bed biofilm process were investigated. The characteristics of media considered here are a void volume fraction, a specific surface area, and surface characteristics of media. The effect of surface roughness and material could be clearly demonstrated by the fact that the porous glass media showed a good potential for biofilm development. This might results from the fact that biofilm is initially formed in the surface cavities of the media is protect from the shear effect. Therefore, the microcolonies are not readily detached by the fluid shear. In the steady state, biofilm formation along the packing bed depth was different from media to media. The specific area was also an important factor for the attachment of microorganism on the media surface. The specific area was also an important factor for the attachment of microorganism on the media surface. In the case of porous glass media, about $100m^2/m^3$ was enough to obtain a good organic removal efficiency The organic removal efficiency could be improved by increasing the void volume fraction in the reactor, at least 80% was required to obtain a high removal efficiency and prevent clogging. From the analysis of kinetics study, the yield coefficient, Y, was 0.42 mgMLSS/mgSBOD, endogenous respiration coefficient, ke, was $0.12day^{-1}$ and substrate removel coefficient of Mckinney. km, was $16.8hr^{-1}$ for the porous glass media G-2

일반적인 구조물의 경우 사용하중 상태에서 지반이 경험하는 변형율 범위는 1% 미만이고 대부분의 지반이 0.01% 이하의 저변형율 거동을 나타내는 것으로 알려졌다. 본 연구는 불포화 화강풍화토의 저변형율에서의 동적 거동에 미치는 영향을 고찰하기 위하여 수원지역의 시료를 사용하여 간극비 및 구속응력을 달리하고 그에 따른 포화도별로 공진주시험을 시행하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 감쇠비의 최소값은 최대전단탄성 계수의 경우와 마찬가지로 구속압에 관계없이 간극비에 따라 대략 $17{\sim}18%$에서 발생하였으며, 이 또한 최적포화도에서 표면장력의 영향으로 감쇠비가 가장 작게 나타나는 것으로 판단된다.

점토의 압밀은 시간적 지연을 갖는 현상으로 시간적 지연은 소성적 지연시간과 수리적 지연시간으로 나눠진다. 본 연구에서는 점토의 2차압밀이 압밀침하에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 알고자 CRS 시험을 실시하였다. 시험결과 소성적 지연시간은 선행압밀하중을 구하는데 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났고, 압밀하중과 압밀지연시간으로부터 유사선행압밀하중을 예측하는 식을 제안하였다. 또 압밀지연시간에 따른 압밀계수의 특징은 선행압밀 전까지는 큰 범위의 값을 가지나 선행압밀하중의 약 2배 지점을 지나서는 압밀지연시간에 관계없이 일정한 값으로 수렴하는 경향을 나타냈다. 그리고 정규압밀영역에서의 투수계수는 간극비와 밀접한 관계에 있으며, Samarasinghe 등의 제안식을 이용하여 시험결과로부터 투수상수 n, $C_1$값을 결정하였고, Kozeny-Carman 제안식과 비교분석하여 보았다. 투수계수와 간극비 관계에서도 압밀지연시간에 의한 지연압축으로 인하여 aging effect를 관찰할 수 있었다.

폴리실라잔 고체 전해질 층과 은(Ag) 활성 전극의 공정이 멤리스터의 전기적 특성에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 더 높은 온도에서 어닐링된 고체 전해질을 갖는 멤리스터가 더 낮은 온도에서 어닐링된 고체 전해질을 갖는 소자보다 더 높은 set voltage 및 더 나은 메모리 유지 특성을 보였다. 어닐링 온도 증가에 따른 set voltage의 증가 및 메모리 유지 특성의 향상은 각각 고체 전해질 층 내부의 빈 공간의 감소 및 균일도 증가 때문인 것으로 사료된다. 고체 전해질 층을 비교적 높은 온도에서 어닐링 할지라도, 폴리실라잔 용액의 농도가 지나치게 높은 경우에는 멤리스터의 저저항상태가 유지되지 못했다. 마지막으로, 용액공정으로 형성한 Ag 활성 전극을 갖는 멤리스터는 진공공정으로 형성한 Ag 활성 전극을 갖는 소자와 달리 WORM 특성을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 WROM 특성은 용액공정 Ag 활성 전극에 존재하는 형태적 결함 때문인 것으로 사료된다.

Compressibility and permeability properties are the most important input parameters necessary to assess the suitability of core materials in seepage control system construction. To achieve this objective, an experimental investigation was conducted in the laboratory. For the bentonite-soil/sand mixes, consolidation and permeability tests were carried out in the conventional consolidation cell, 6Omm in diameter and 2Omm in height, was modified to perform a falling head type permeability test. From the results, the normalized relationship with respect to void ratio at liquid-limit state $(e_L)$, and the changes of compressibility and permeability for various bentonite-soil/sand mixes were presented. This approach will be helpful in proportioning mixes and predicting corresponding changes in engineering behavior. And it is possible to proportion a mix to arrive at the required compressibility without affecting the permeability.

Sn-3Ag-0.5Cu is one of candidate as an alternative approach to conventional lead-tin solder. In order to evaluate that creep characteristic of QFP, we used Sn-3Ag-0.5Cu where the operating temperature is $100^{\circ}C$. The specimens were loaded to failure at average pull strength in the range of 20% to 25%, X-ray machine is used to eliminate effect of void. In this paper, relation of time-displacement and steady state creep rate was studied, and used to analyze the experimental result.

Effects of a nitriding treatment on the tensile and high cycle fatigue properties were investigated by conducting ion-nitriding and gas nitro-caburizing treatments on the spheroidized SCr430B medium-carbon steel and performing tensile and tension-tension high cycle fatigue tests. The nitrided samples showed much lower strength and ductility compared to those in the initial as-spheroidized state and premature fracture occurred at the hardened layers. The micro-voids in the compound layer caused fatigue crack initiation. Thus, the removal of the compound layer with micro-voids remarkably improved the fatigue resistance to even beyond that of the as-spheroidized sample.

Through comparing stress state of TEOS and SiLK-embedded structures, the effect of low-k materials on stress and stress distribution in via-line structures were investigated using three-dimensional finite element analyses. In the case of TEOS-embedded via-line structures, hydrostatic stress was concentrated at the via and the top of the lines, where the void was suspected to nucleate. On the other hand, in the via-line structures integrated with SiLK, large von-Mises stress is maintained at the via, thus deformation of via is expected as the main failure mode. A good correlation between the calculated results and experimentally observed failure modes according to dielectric materials was obtained.
