This paper provides an assessment of fluid transport and mixing processes inside the primary circuit of the test facility ROCOM through the numerical simulation of Test 2.1 with the system code ATHLET. The experiment represents an asymmetric injection of cold and non-borated water into the reactor coolant system (RCS) of a pressurized water reactor (PWR) to restore core cooling, an emergency procedure which may subsequently trigger a core re-criticality. The injection takes place at low velocity under single-phase subcooled conditions and presents a major challenge for the simulation in lumped parameter codes, due to multidimensional effects in horizontal piping and vessel arising from density gradients and gravity forces. Aiming at further validating ATHLET 3-D capabilities against horizontal geometries, the experiment conditions are applied to a ROCOM model, which includes a newly developed horizontal pipe object to enhance code prediction inside coolant loops. The obtained results show code strong simulation capabilities to represent multidimensional flows. Enhanced prediction is observed at the vessel inlet compared to traditional 1-D approach, whereas mixing overprediction from the descending denser plume is observed at the upper-half downcomer region, which leads to eventual deviations at the core inlet.

수자원설계 및 계획 시 제한된 강우자료로 인해 나타나는 한계를 개선하기 위한 목적으로 추계학적 강수모의 모형을 활용한다. 대표적인 추계학적 강수모형으로 Bartlett-Lewis Rectangular Pulse Modified Model(BLPRM)과 Neyman-Scott Rectangular Pulse Model(NSRPM) 등이 활용되고 있으며, 관측강수량의 통계적 모멘트를 재현할 수 있도록 모형 매개변수를 최적화하는 과정이 필수적으로 요구된다. 기본적으로 모형 매개변수들의 조합을 통해 추정되는 통계적 모멘트와 관측값의 통계적 모멘트를 반복적으로 비교하면서 최적 매개변수를 추정하게 된다. 그러나 상대적으로 적은 관측값을 이용하여 매개변수를 추정하기 때문에, 매개변수 추정이 어려울 뿐만 아니라 매개변수의 불확실성도 큰 특징을 가지고 있다. 모형 매개변수 추정과정에서 다양한 목적함수가 활용되고 있으나, 고려되는 통계적 모멘트가 평균 및 분산 등 2차 모멘트에 제한되고 있어 극치강수량에 대한 재현성은 상대적으로 부족한 부분이 있다. 본 연구에서는 3차 모멘트를 포함한 목적함수를 활용하여 NSRP모형 매개변수를 추정하고, 기존 2차 모멘트를 이용한 매개변수 접근방법과 극치강수량 재현 측면에서 비교를 수행하였다. 최종적으로 유역 단위에서 극치강수량 재현효과를 평가하기 위해서는 면적강수량 추정이 매우 중요하며, 본 연구에서는 이러한 점을 감안하여 강우 지점 간의 상관성을 유지하면서 강우모의가 가능한 다지점 NSRP 모형과 연계하여 극치강우 재현 가능성을 평가하였다.

The spraying status of the electrostatic sprayer was evaluated by processing surface spraying images of the natural leaves. Water solution of the fluorescent material was used as a spray medium. The image of the lights reflected by fluorescent droplets was captured under UV light using a color CCD camera. Coverage rate, particle density, and the size distribution of particles were analyzed from the surface images of leaves under various spraying conditions such as spraying nozzle angle and object distance. Spraying characteristics of the electrostatic sprayer was evaluated in comparison with the conventional one. In a case of electrostatic sprayer, coverage rate and particle density increased by the average of 1.57times and 1.01times respectively under various nozzle angles and distances. The number of particle under the diameter of 50 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ also increased significantly.

This study performed an physical analysis on the characteristics of urban environmental sound divided into three parts depending on their features. Object sounds were classified into traffic sound, waster sound and spatial sound. Traffice sound was selected because it is dominant sound in urban environment, and water sound is selected because it generally supplies pleasantness in contrast to traffic sound, Finally spatial sound was considered because it represents sound in various places of city having lots of behaviors and types of sound due to them. Physcal analysis was carried out using sound quality indices based on Zwicker's loudness, $L_{Aeq}$(equivalent noise level), Ln(percentile noise level) and other acoutical attributes applied to previous study. Through the analysis, this study aims to compare the acoustical characteristics of urban environmental sound and to provide fundamental data for the evaluation of urban environmental sound.

Electrolytic polishing is the anodic dissolution process in the transpassive state. It removes non-metallic inclusions and improves mechanical and corrosion resistance of stainless steel. Electrolytic polishing is normally used to remove a very thin layer of material from the surface of a metal object. An electrolyte of phosphoric, sulfuric and distilled water has been used in this study. In the low current density region, there can be found plateau region and material removal process and leveling process occur successively. In this study, an electrochemical polishing process using pulse current is adopted as a new electrochemical polishing process. In electrochemical machining processes, it has been found that pulse electrochemical processes provide an attractive alternative to the electrochemical processes using continuous current. Hence, this study will discuss the electrochemical polishing processes in low current density region and pulse electrochemical polishing.

Low temperature vacuum drying technique, whose drying time and quantity of exhausting energy is about 25~30% of hot air drying, is very excellent in the drying efficiency. This paper is made out in the aspects of heat engineering with the object of developing Korean drying machine which can dry once a large quantity of objects to be dried in the state of low temperature and vacuum. As the results, it took about 17 hours(3~4 days in case of hot air drying) for material to reach about 18% of the final moisture content in order to store products for a long time, from about 78~80% of the early moisture content at the beginning of drying, and maximum drying rate comes to about 0.35 kg/m2hr at about 400% of the moisture content.

This study deals with the characteristic of refrigerant for heat-treatment deformation control of SCM415 steel. The control of heat-treatment deformation must need the progress of production parts for an industry machine. Most of the deformation is occurred on unequal cooling. The unequal cooling is occurred by a property of quenching refrigeration. When a heated metal is deposited in the refrigeration, the cooling speed is so slow in early period of cooling because of occurring a steam-curtain. After more cooling, the steam-curtain is destroyed. In this progress, the cooling speed is very fast. The object of this study is to control the deformation of heat-treatment for the part of the industry machine by improving the conditions of quenching. The cooling curves and cooling rates of water, oil and polymer solution are obtained and illustrated. From the characteristics of the quenching refrigerant, the effects of heat-treatments on the thermal deformation and fatigue strength are also investigated.
