Pulmonic autograft replacement of the aortic valve(Ross procedure) has been to have potential for growth in children, no complication of antiocagulation, and enhanced durability. Therefore, Ross operation is indicated in the young, in patients with an active life style, and when anticoagulation is contraindicated. However, late autograft valve has occurrd more frequently in patients with significant size discrepancy between the pulmonay valve annulus and the aortic valve annulus. In order to resolve this problem, we performed aortic annuloplasty with Duran ring for more accurate and strong reinforcement. We report a case using the Duran ring as a method of aortic annuloplasty during Ross procedure.

Natural convection in a horizontal annulus with spacers has been studied on the effects of diameter ratio and Rayleigh numbers and position of spacers by experimental method. In case of vertical spacers, the local spacer Nusselt numbers show positive values on the lower spacer, but negative values on the upper spacer. In case of horizontal spacers, the local spacer Nusselt numbers show positive values on the upward surface of spacer, but negative values on the downward surface of spacer. The mean tube Nusselt numbers and mean cylinder Nusselt numbers with vertical spacer are increased 10% and 2.1%, respectively by those of horizontal spacer.

A numerical and experimental investigation has been carried out to understand a characteristic of natural convection within a horizontal non-circular annulus. A finite-difference method has been used to solve the governing equations numerically. The effect of Rayleigh number. Prandtl number, aspect ratio and diameter ratio is studied analytically. The ranges of the parameters studied herein are Rayleigh number from $10^3$ to $2{\times}10^4$, Prandtl number from 0.1 to 10, aspect ratio from 0.25 to 1.5 and diameter ratio from 1.5 to 9.0. A Mach-Zehnder interferometer is used to obtain isothermal fringes for a diameter ratio Do/Di=2.6 and aspect ratio H/L=0.75 experimentally. A comparison between the experimental and numerical results under similar conditions shows good agreement.

한국형 차세대 원자로(KNGR)는 안전주입계통에 Advanced Design features를 채택하고 있는데, 그 중의 하나가 안전주입의 주입구를 Downcomer Annulus의 상부에 위치시킨 Direct Vessel Injection(DVI)으로서 영광 및 울진 3&4호기의 Cold Leg Injection(CLI)과는 다른 설계 개념이다. 본 논문에서는 DVI가 채택된 KNGR에 대하여 기존의 C-E형 발전소 해석에 적용한 C-E Evaluation Model(EM)을 사용하여 대형파단 냉각재상실사고를 해석해 보고자 하였다. 먼저 DVI의 Modeling은 KNOGR의 참조 발전소라 할 수 있는 System80+에서 Modeling한 것과 같이 CLI 해석에 사용한 Nodalization Scheme 중 Cold Leg Node에 연결된 SIT 만을 Downcomer Annulus Node에 연결하는 방법을 사용하여 DVI 해석을 수행하였다. 아울러 기존의 안전주입 형태인 CLI에 대한 해석을 KNGR에 대해 병행하여 수행함으로써 DVI와 CLI의 ECCS performance를 비교하고 CLI 대비 DVI의 특성을 알아보았다. 또한 DVI의 해석에 있어서 SIT와 Cold Leg이 함께 연결되는 Downcomer Annulus Node를 상하 2개로 분리하여 SIT와 Cold Leg 각각에 연결시킴으로써 DVI 주입구의 위치에 대한 보다 정확한 Modeling을 시도하였다. 그 결과 DVI 주입구의 높이를 고려한 경우가 DVI의 일반적 물리 현상에 근접하게 계산되는 것으로 판단되나 현재로서는 특별한 검증 수단이 없으므로 향후 Licensing 해석 수행에 앞서 방법론을 포함한 이에 대한 보다 심도 있는 검토가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

The present paper presents the experimental results of pressure drip of water flow in annuli with spirally corrugated inner tubes in the turbulent flow regime. To understand the underlying physical phenomena responsible for heat transfer enhancement, pressure drop data documented elsewhere are combined to compare with those obtained from the present experiment for the Reynolds numbers of 1,000 to 8,000. Friction factors were found to be functions of trough depth, pitch and angle, and the annulus radius ratio. Friction factor increases in the spirally fluted tubes were larger than those in the corrugated tubes.

A horizontal mantle heat exchanger for a thermosyphon-driven SDHW(solar domestic hot water) was numerically simulated and fluid flow and heat transfer in the annulus of the mantle heat exchanger were quantitatively investigated. The Reynolds number, the location of the inlet, and the gap of the annulus were selected as the important design variables. The effects of the design variables on the heat transfer characteristics were thoroughly studied. Based on the numerical results, a correlation for predicting the heat transfer coefficient was suggested as the conclusion of this study.

This study investigates the bifurcation sequence to chaos in a horizontal annulus with a constant heat flux wall. After the first Hopf bifurcation from a steady to a simple time-periodic flow with a fundamental frequency, quasi-periodic flows with two or three incommensurable frequencies appear. A reverse transition from a quasi-periodic flow to a simple periodic flow is observed with increase of Rayleigh number. And finally, chaotic convection is established after appearance of three incommensurable frequencies at a high Rayleigh number. Simple periodic flows exist between quasi periodic flows. The transition route to chaos of the present simulations follows the Ruelle-Takens route.

Natural convection of a fluid with intermediate Prand시 number of Pr=0.2 in a horizontal annulus is considered, and the bifurcation phenomena and chaotic flows are numerically investigated. The unsteady two-dimensional streamfunction-vorticity equation is solved with finite difference method. The steady downward flow with two counter-rotating eddies bifurcates to a simple periodic flow with a fundamental frequency. And afterwards, second Hopf bifurcation occurs, and a quasi-periodic flow with two incommensurable frequencies appears. However, a new time-periodic flow is established after experiencing quasi-periodic states. As Rayleigh number is increased further, the chaotic flow regime is reached after a sequence of successive Hopf bifurcation to quasi-periodic and chaotic flow regimes. A scenario similar to the Ruelle-Takens-Newhouse scenario of the onset of chaos is observed.

The present paper is to present the results of studied of pressure drop in annuli with corrugated and spirally fluted inner tubes for the turbulent flow regime. To understand the underlying physical phenomena responsible for heat transfer enhancement, flow mechanism documented elsewhere are combined with pressure drop measurements to confirm the friction factors obtained from the annuli with the grooved inner tubes for the Reynolds number of 1000 to 8000. Friction factors were found to be functions of trough depth, pitch and angle, and the annulus radius ratio. friction factor increases in the spirally fluted tubes were larger than those in the corrugated tubes.

Theoritical Study is performed on heat transfer and fluid flow induced by square-ribbed roughness elements in a concentric annulus. The fluid properties were assumed to be constant, and the radius($r_m$) of the maximum speed point was found by using the principle of equation of Leung and Labib. The Nusselt number and friction factor as a function of the Reynolds number($R_e=10^4$, $5{\times}10^4$, $7{\times}10^4$, $10^5$) in artifical roughness $S/{\epsilon}=5,10,20,30$, $P/{\epsilon}=2,5,8$ and prandtl number = 0.72 have been discussed. In this study, it has been found that the Nusselt number and friction factor of rough wall are larger than those of smooth ones.
