By operation in aqueous environment at high temperature and pressure, the structural materials from Primary Heat Transport System (PHTS) cover with protective oxide films, which maintain the corrosion rate in admissible limits. A lot of potential factors exist, which conduct to degradation of the protective films and consequently to intensification of the corrosion processes. The existing experience of different nuclear reactors shows that the water chemistry has an important role in integrity maintaining of the protective oxide films. To investigate the influence of water chemistry (pH, O2 dissolved, $Cl^-$, $F^-$) on corrosion of some structural materials (carbon and martensitic steel, Zr and Ni alloys) and to establish the maximum permissible values, corrosion experiments by static autoclaving and electrochemical methods were performed. The experimental results allowed us to establish the contribution of the water chemistry in initiation and evolution of some accelerated corrosion processes.

우유 중에는 여러 종류의 생리활성물질과 우리 몸에 꼭 필요한 비타민이 매우 소량 함유되어 있어, 그 강화를 목적으로 유가공 산업의 발전과 더불어 다양한 비타민 강화우유가 소개되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 가공 처리 및 비타민 강화 방법에 따른 비타민류의 손실율을 조사하였다. 실험 결과, UHT 처리 후에 비타민 C는 60~70% 가까운 손실율을 보였으며, 비교적 열에 안정하다고 알려진 지용성 비타민인 비타민 D$_3$와 비타민 E도 30~40%의 손실율을 보여 주었다. 이에 반해 비타민을 캡슐 형태로 강화하였을 경우에는 수용성 비타민의 손실율은 상대적으로 매우 낮음을 알 수 있었다. 이는 캡슬에 의해 열뿐 아니라 산소, 빛 등이 효과적으로 차단되어 비타민의 손실이 최소화된 것이라 생각된다. 따라서 열처리에 의한 시유 및 강화우유 중의 비타민의 손실을 최소화하기 위해서는 우유의 살균 온도 및 시간, 강화제 첨가 방법 등에 대한 지속적인 연구가 이루어져야 할 것으로 사료된다.

Pool boiling heat transfer coefficients(HTCs) of HFC32/HFC134a, HFC125/HFC134a, HFC32/HFC125 and HFC32/HFC125/HFC134a were measured on a horizontal smooth tube. The experimental apparatus was specially designed to simulate the real heat transfer tube with the use of the secondary fluid of water. Data were taken in the order of decreasing heat flux starting at 80kW/$m^2\; and\; ending\; at\; 5kW/m^2$ in the pool temperature at $7^{\circ}C$. Test results showed that HTCs of these mixtures were 11~38% lower than those of ideal HTCs calculated by a linear mixing rule with pure fluids、 HTCs. Experimental data were compared with Stephan & Korner, Thome, Schlunder, Thome & Shakir、s correlations only to find that those correlations were not satisfactory for all fluids. Hence, a new correlation based on the present data was proposed which could be applied even to the ternary mixture. The correlation predicts the degradation of HTCs of mixtures well, showing a mean deviation of less than 15% for all the mixture data.

대두는 된장, 간장, 스낵 등 전통식품의 주요 원료이며, 열처리 공정은 대두의 가공과정에서 대부분 수반되는 단위 조작이다. 본 연구에서는 열처리가 대두의 이화학적 특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 상업적인 조건에서 대두를 증자, 가열팽화, 튀김 처리한 다음 단백질의 분자량 분포와 용해도, 수분과 유지 흡착력 및 열 특성과 산패도의 변화를 조사하였다. 대두는 가열처리에 의하여 단백질이 10-40 kDa 범위의 작은 분자량으로 분해되는 경향을 나타내었다. 대두의 용융 엔탈피는 199.62 J/g이었으며 열처리에 의하여 123.07-135.90 J/g 범위로 엔탈피가 감소하였고 지질 산화를 보여주는 fluorescence intensity도 열처리로 증가하였으며 열처리 효과는 튀김, 증자, 가열팽화의 순으로 높았다. 또한 대두의 수분 흡착력은 열처리 한 경우가 비열처리 대두보다 상대적으로 높았으며, 단백질의 용해도는 산성 영역(pH 3-6)에서 같은 경향을 보였다. 결과적으로 대두는 가열처리에 의하여 용융 엔탈피가 감소하고 단백질이 분해되며 지질 산화와 용해도 및 수분흡착력이 증가하는데 대두에 대한 열처리의 효과는 튀김 공정에서 뚜렷하였다.

The electrical stability of ZnO: Al thin films deposited on glass substrate by the RF magnetron sputtering method have been modified by a hydrogen annealing treatment and $SiO_2$ protection layer. AZO thin films were deposited at room temperature and different RF powers of 50, 100, 150, and 200 W to optimize the AZO film growth condition. The lowest value of resistivity of $9.44{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$ was obtained at 2 mtorr, room temperature, and a power level of 150 W. Then, the AZO thin films were annealed at $250-400^{\circ}C$ for 1 h in hydrogen ambient. The minimum resistivity obtained was $8.32{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$ as-annealed at $300^{\circ}C$. The electrical properties were enhanced by the hydrogen annealing treatment. After a 72 h damp-heat treatment in harsh conditions of a water steam at $110^{\circ}C$ for four representative samples, a degradation of electrical properties was observed. The sample of hydrogen-annealed AZO thin films with $SiO_2$ protection layer showed a slight degradation ratio(17%) of electrical properties and a preferable transmittance of 90%. The electrical stability of AZO thin films had been modified by hydrogen annealing treatment and $SiO_2$ protection layer.

Pressing demands of economic competitiveness, the need for large-scale deployment, minimizing the need of human intervention, and experience from the past events and incidents at operating reactors have guided the evolution and innovations in reactor technologies. Indian innovative reactor 'AHWR' is a pressure-tube type natural circulation based boiling water reactor that is designed to meet such requirements, which essentially reflect the needs of next generation reactors. The reactor employs various passive features to prevent and mitigate accidental conditions, like a slightly negative void reactivity coefficient, passive poison injection to scram the reactor in event of failure of the wired shutdown systems, a large elevated pool of water as a heat sink inside the containment, passive decay heat removal based on natural circulation and passive valves, passive ECC injection, etc. It is designed to meet the fundamental safety requirements of safe shutdown, safe decay heat removal and confinement of activity with no impact in public domain, and hence, no need for emergency planning under all conceivable scenarios. This paper examines the role of the various passive safety systems in prevention and mitigation of severe plant conditions that may arise in event of multiple failures. For the purpose of demonstration of the effectiveness of its passive features, postulated scenarios on the lines of three major severe accidents in the history of nuclear power reactors are considered, namely; the Three Mile Island (TMI), Chernobyl and Fukushima accidents. Severe plant conditions along the lines of these scenarios are postulated to the extent conceivable in the reactor under consideration and analyzed using best estimate system thermal-hydraulics code RELAP5/Mod3.2. It is found that the various passive systems incorporated enable the reactor to tolerate the postulated accident conditions without causing severe plant conditions and core degradation.

고분자 절연재료는 기존의 세라믹 절연재료에 대체되는 물질로 매년 수요가 꾸준히 급증하고 있다. 그러나, 실용에 있어 장시간 외부로부터 가해지는 열화인자에 노출됨에 따라 경시적 성능저하 및 수명단축이 발생되고, 이를 근본적으로 해결하기 위한 고분자 열화메커니즘의 규명이 안전성 향상 및 신뢰성 확보를 위해 중요한 과제로 대두되고 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 열화발생 및 진행경로를 해석하기 위한 일환으로 열, 수분에 의한 열화를 각각 임의로 모의하여, 열화 발생메커니즘을 해석하였다. 특히, 본 연구에서는 화학적 측면의 특성분석을 수행하였고, 이를 통해 표면의 친수 소수적 분자구조 분석으로 최종적인 표면열화 모델링을 도출하였다. PCB 기판용 고분자 복합재료를 대상으로 열, 수분 가속열화에 따른 표면에서의 접촉각, XPS 분석을 통해 표면의 변화 메커니즘을 분석하였다. 친수화 경향을 나타내는 표면은 접촉각의 감소와 carboxyl($-COO^*$) 라디칼이 다량 발생하였으며, 소수화 경향을 나타내는 표면은 접촉각의 증가와 표면에서 산소기의 이탈과 탄소결합의 불포화 이중결합화로 안정된 화학구조를 구성하고 있었다.

During a loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) in the pressurized water reactor (PWR), there is a possibility that high temperature and internal pressure of the fuel rods lead to ballooning of the cladding, which causes a partial blockage of flow area in a subchannel. Such flow blockage would influence the core coolant flow, thus affecting the core heat transfer during a reflooding phase and subsequent severe accident. However, most of the system analysis codes simulate the accident process based on the assumed channel blockage ratio, resulting in the fact that the simulation results are not consistent with the actual situation. This paper integrates the developed core Fuel Rod Thermal-Mechanical Behavior analysis (FRTMB) module into the self-developed severe accident analysis code ISAA. At the same time, the existing flow blockage model is improved to make it possible to simulate the change of flow distribution due to fuel rod deformation. Finally, the ISAA-FRTMB is used to simulate the QUENCH-LOCA-0 experiment to verify the correctness and effectiveness of the improved flow blockage model, and then the effect of clad ballooning on core heat transfer and subsequent parts of core degradation is analyzed.

This research investigates the application of ZnO (zinc oxide) nanoparticles and $TiO_2$ (titanium dioxide) nanoparticles to polypropylene nonwoven fabrics via an electrospinning technique for the development of textile materials that can decompose harmful gases. To fabricate uniform ZnO nanocomposite fibers, two types of ZnO nanoparticles were applied. Colloidal $TiO_2$ nanoparticles were chosen to fabricate $TiO_2$ nano- composite fibers. ZnO/poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and $TiO_2$/PVA nanocomposite fibers were electrospun under a variety of conditions that include various feed rates, electric voltages, and capillary diameters. The morphology of electrospun nanocomposite fibers was examined with a field-emission scanning electron micro- scope and a transmission electron microscope. Decomposition efficiency of gaseous materials (formaldehyde, ammonia, toluene, benzene, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide) by nanocomposite fiber webs with 3wt% nano-particles (ZnO or $TiO_2$) and 7$g/m^2$ web area density was assessed. This study shows that ZnO nanoparticles in colloid were more suitable for fabricating nanocomposite fibers in which nanoparticles are evenly dispersed than in powder. A heat treatment was applied to water-soluble PVA nanofiber webs in order to stabilize the electrospun nanocomposite fibrous structure against dissolution in water. ZnO/PVA and $TiO_2$/PVA nanofiber webs exhibited a range of degradation efficiency for different types of gases. For nitrogen dioxide, the degradation efficiency was 92.2% for ZnO nanocomposite fiber web and 87% for $TiO_2$ nanocomposite fiber web after 20 hours of UV light irradiation. The results indicate that ZnO/PVA and $TiO_2$/PVA nano- composite fiber webs have possible uses in functional textiles that can decompose harmful gases.
