Oxy-gasification or oxygen-blown gasification, enables a clean and efficient use of coal and opens a promising way to CO2 capture. The coal gasification process of a slurry feed type, entrained-flow coal gasifier was numerically predicted in this paper. The purposes of this study are to develop an evaluation technique for design and performance optimization of coal gasifiers using a numerical simulation technique, and to confirm the validity of the model. By dividing the complicated coal gasification process into several simplified stages such as slurry evaporation, coal devolatilization, mixture fraction model and two-phase reactions coupled with turbulent flow and two-phase heat transfer, a comprehensive numerical model was constructed to simulate the coal gasification process. The influence of turbulence on the gas properties was taken into account by the PDF (Probability Density Function) model. A numerical simulation with the coal gasification model is performed on the Conoco-Philips type gasifier for IGCC plant. Gas temperature distribution and product gas composition are also presented. Numerical computations were performed to assess the effect of variation in oxygen to coal ratio and steam to coal ratio on reactive flow field. The concentration of major products, CO and H2 were calculated with varying oxygen to coal ratio (0.2-1.5) and steam to coal ratio(0.3-0.7). To verify the validity of predictions, predicted values of CO and H2 concentrations at the exit of the gasifier were compared with previous work of the same geometry and operating points. Predictions showed that the CO and H2 concentration increased gradually to its maximum value with increasing oxygen-coal and hydrogen-coal ratio and decreased. When the oxygen-coal ratio was between 0.8 and 1.2, and the steam-coal ratio was between 0.4 and 0.5, high values of CO and H2 were obtained. This study also deals with the comparison of CFD (Computational Flow Dynamics) and STATNJAN results which consider the objective gasifier as chemical equilibrium to know the effect of flow on objective gasifier compared to equilibrium. This study makes objective gasifier divided into a few ranges to study the evolution of the gasification locally. By this method, we can find that there are characteristics in the each scope divided.

사파이어 단결정은 GaN계 화합물 증착이 용이하여 고휘도의 청색을 구현하기 위한 LED(Light Emitting Diode)용 기판으로 크게 각광받고 있다. 공업용 사파이어의 제조 방법으로는 Kyropoulos법, Czochralski법 HEM(Heat Exchager Method)등 다양한 방법이 시도되고 있으며, 그 중 Kyropoulos법은 고품질의 대구경 사파이어 단결정 성장이 가능한 대표적인 방법으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 Kyropoulos 공정의 특성상 결정성장로 내에서 용융 사파이어의 유동장이 단결정의 최종 품질을 결정하는데, 유동장의 변화와 이에 따르는 결정성장 거동을 관찰하기가 어렵다는 단점이 있다. 대구경화와 동시에 고품질의 사파이어 단결정을 생산하기 위해서는 성장로내의 유동장 해석을 통해 결정 성장조건을 최적화 하는 것이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 유한요소법을 기반으로 한 전산유동해석을 통해 Kyropoulos 성장로 내의 도가니 형상의 종횡비(h/d)에 따른 용융 사파이어의 대류거동을 관찰하여 도가니의 형상이 단결정 성장에 미치는 영향을 분석하였으며, 성장로의 설계시 도가니의 종횡비를 작게 고려하면 용융 사파이어의 대류속도를 늦추고 계면의 convexity를 줄여 사파이어 단결정의 품질향상에 도움이 된다는 결과를 얻었다.

Opening of fractures induced by shear dilation or normal deformation can be a significant source of fracture permeability change in fractured rock, which is important for the performance assessment of geological repositories for spent nuclear fuel. As the repository generates heat and later cools the fluid-carrying ability of the rocks becomes a dynamic variable during the lifespan of the repository. Heating causes expansion of the rock close to the repository and, at the same time, contraction close to the surface. During the cooling phase of the repository, the opposite takes place. Heating and cooling together with the, virgin stress can induce shear dilation of fractures and deformation zones and change the flow field around the repository. The objectives of this work are to examine the contribution of thermal stress to the shear slip of fracture in mid- and far-field around a KBS-3 type of repository and to investigate the effect of evolution of stress on the rock mass permeability. In the first part of this study, zones of fracture shear slip were examined by conducting a three-dimensional, thermo-mechanical analysis of a spent fuel repository model in the size of 2 km $\times$ 2 km $\times$ 800 m. Stress evolutions of importance for fracture shear slip are: (1) comparatively high horizontal compressive thermal stress at the repository level, (2) generation of vertical tensile thermal stress right above the repository, (3) horizontal tensile stress near the surface, which can induce tensile failure, and generation of shear stresses at the comers of the repository. In the second part of the study, fracture data from Forsmark, Sweden is used to establish fracture network models (DFN). Stress paths obtained from the thermo-mechanical analysis were used as boundary conditions in DFN-DEM (Discrete Element Method) analysis of six DFN models at the repository level. Increases of permeability up to a factor of four were observed during thermal loading history and shear dilation of fractures was not recovered after cooling of the repository. An understanding of the stress path and potential areas of slip induced shear dilation and related permeability changes during the lifetime of a repository for spent nuclear fuel is of utmost importance for analysing long-term safety. The result of this study will assist in identifying critical areas around a repository where fracture shear slip is likely to develop. The presentation also includes a brief introduction to the ongoing site investigation on two candidate sites for geological repository in Sweden.

실리콘박막의 상부에 고상반응에 의해 형성된 TiS$i_2$ 박막의 응집 거동에 미치는 기판 실리콘의 영향을 조사했다. 폴리실리콘과 어몰퍼스실리콘을 증착상태 또는 어닐링한 상태엣 TiS$i_2$를 형성시키고 90$0^{\circ}C$열처리에 따른 TiS$i_2$의 면저항값의 변화를 조사하고 XRD, SEM 및 TEM에 의한 실리콘의 조직관찰을 행했다. TiS$i_2$응집은 어몰퍼스실리콘 위의 경우가 더욱 심했다. 폴리실리콘을 어닐링하면 TiS$i_2$의 응집은 억제되며 고온에서 어닐링할수록 그 효과가 현저했다. 이는 폴리실리콘의 입도 변화보다는 증착시 존재하는 결함들이 열처리에 의해 감소된 때문이다. 폴리실리콘의 경우는 어닐링 전후에 상관없이 (110)집합조직인 주상정 조직을 갖고 있다. 어몰퍼스실리콘을 결정화시킨 경우는 (111)집합조직를 갖는 등축정 조직을 나타내었다. 실리콘의 표면에너지가 낮은 (111)면이TiS$i_2$ 막의 하부 폴리실리콘에 많이 존재할수록 응집은 촉진된다.

영남육괴는 광역적인 고온-저압의 변성작용과 부분용융을 경험한 한반도 지각을 대표하는 기반암 중 하나이다. 이 논문에서는 지금까지 보고된 영남육괴 고온 변성암류에 기록된 백립암상의 변성작용과 부분용융 과정을 통해 고원생대(1.87-1.84Ga)의 고온조산운동 기록을 살펴본다. 특히 열원으로서의 역할을 담당했던, 산청-하동지역 회장암질 마그마를 비롯한 고철질 화성활동과 고온-저압 변성작용 사이의 시공간적 연계는 영남육괴의 광역변성작용과 지각용융을 이해하는데 필수적인 정보를 제공한다. 지각용융은 주로 함(含)유체 부분용융과 백운모/흑운모의 탈수용융에 의해 발생하였으며, 다양한 형태의 우백대와 우백질 화강암을 형성하였다. 이차이온질량분석기를 활용한 저어콘과 모나자이트의 암석연대학적 결과는 영남육괴의 고온변성작용과 부분용융이 약 1870-1854 Ma의 ~15 Ma 기간 동안 지속되었음을 지시한다. 또한, 초기 차노카이트로 대표되는 유체유입 사건이 약 1840 Ma에 발생하였다. 이와 같이 영남육괴 내에는 고온변성작용과 부분융용, 그리고 유체유입이라는 고온조산대를 대표하는 일련의 지질사건들이 기록되어 있다. 영남육괴에서 확인된 고온조산대는 북중국 지괴에서 흔히 보고되는 고원생대 조산운동과 연계되어 있으며, 고원생대 콜럼비아/누나 초대륙 진화의 최후기 산물이리라 판단된다.

In the present study, the thermoshearing experiment on a rough rock fracture were modeled using a three-dimensional grain-based distinct element model (GBDEM). The experiment was conducted by the Korea Institute of Construction Technology to investigate the progressive shear failure of fracture under the influence of thermal stress in a critical stress state. The numerical model employs an assembly of multiple polyhedral grains and their interfaces to represent the rock sample, and calculates the coupled thermo-mechanical behavior of the grains (blocks) and the interfaces (contacts) using 3DEC, a DEM code. The primary focus was on simulating the temperature evolution, generation of thermal stress, and shear and normal displacements of the fracture. Two fracture models, namely the mated fracture model and the unmated fracture model, were constructed based on the degree of surface matedness, and their respective behaviors were compared and analyzed. By leveraging the advantage of the DEM, the contact area between the fracture surfaces was continuously monitored during the simulation, enabling an examination of its influence on shear behavior. The numerical results demonstrated distinct differences depending on the degree of the surface matedness at the initial stage. In the mated fracture model, where the surfaces were in almost full contact, the characteristic stages of peak stress and residual stress commonly observed in shear behavior of natural rock joints were reasonably replicated, despite exhibiting discrepancies with the experimental results. The analysis of contact area variation over time confirmed that our numerical model effectively simulated the abrupt normal dilation and shear slip, stress softening phenomenon, and transition to the residual state that occur during the peak stress stage. The unmated fracture model, which closely resembled the experimental specimen, showed qualitative agreement with the experimental observations, including heat transfer characteristics, the progressive shear failure process induced by heating, and the increase in thermal stress. However, there were some mismatches between the numerical and experimental results regarding the onset of fracture slip and the magnitudes of fracture stress and displacement. This research was conducted as part of DECOVALEX-2023 Task G, and we expect the numerical model to be enhanced through continued collaboration with other research teams and validated in further studies.

Objectives: With the evolution of direct reading sensors, it is possible to monitor several substances through telecommunication. However, there are some limitations on the use of direct reading technologies in the Occupational Safety and Health Act in South Korea, which only applies to detector tubes, noise, heat, and carbon monoxides. The number of chemicals and their amount of use have been continuously increasing in South Korea. The Ministry of Employment and Labor (MoEL) has concerns about worker's health because exposure is only covered for about 1.2% of all distributed chemicals. Using a direct reading monitor with photoionization detectors (PID-DRMs), gases and vapors chemicals can be measured. Based on the data, business owners are able to create corrective strategies, provide better working routines, and select correct respiratory equipment. PID-DRMs are less expensive and easier to handle for an owner voluntarily controlling chemicals emitted in the workplace. However, there are several limitations on using these PID-DRMs to the degree that the MoEL has not been able to select a legal monitor. The aim of this study was to review previous studies related to PID-DRMs and identify the characterization and limitation on PID-DRMs. Methods: To search for related studies on PID-DRMs, key words were used including direct reading monitors/instruments and/or photoionization detectors. Through that, four domestic and 15 international studies were reviewed. Results: Studies on PID-DRMs were conducted by chamber (enclosed, dynamic, walk-in) and in the field (experimental environment, actual environment). The concentration of PID-DRMs and charcoal tubes were compared for a single substance or mixture, or within the PID-DRMs. There was a high correlation between the two concentrations, but it did not meet the accuracy criteria (95% confidence interval, within 25%) of the NIOSH technical report (2012). In addition, differences in measured values occurred according to environmental factors (temperature, humidity) and high concentration, and concentration values tended to be underestimated due to contamination of the sensor. As a way to improve the accuracy of PID concentration, it was proposed to use correction factors, charcoal tube-based correction factors, or to calibrate the PID-DRMs in the same environment as the workplace. Conclusions: PID-DRMs can likely be used by business owners for the purpose of voluntarily managing the workplace environment, and it is expected that it will be possible to use them as legal equipment if a PID sensor can be upgraded and the limitations of the sensor (temperature, humidity, high concentration evaluation, sensor pollution) can be overcome in the near future.

In this work, Sr_0.5Zr₂(PO₄)₃-SmPO₄ dual-phase ceramics were prepared via in-situ synthesis process, which is a potential novel nuclear waste form for immobilizing the fission product ⁹⁰Sr and the trivalent actinide radionuclides in high-level waste (HLW). And the preparation technology, microstructure and chemical durability of Sr_0.5Zr₂(PO₄)₃-SmPO₄ dual-phase ceramics were systematically investigated. It was confirmed that the optimum microwave-sintering temperature (1050 ℃) and heat preservation time (1.5 h) is estimated by Archimedes method. Besides, the as-prepared samples that were consisted of strontium zirconium phosphate (SrZP) and monazite showed the remarkable densification, in which the two crystalline phases were intermixed well with each other. Meanwhile, the formation and evolution of microstructure was also consistent with the variational rule of Sr_0.5Zr₂(PO₄)₃/SmPO₄, indicating that there was not mutual reaction during the in-situ synthesis process. The PCT and MCC-1 experimental results demonstrated that the elemental normalized leaching rates of tested samples are all at a low level (LR_Sr ~10^-4 g·m^-2·d^-1, LR_Zr ~10^-8-10^-6 g·m^-2·d^-1, LR_Sm ~10^-7-10^-5 g·m^-2·d^-1 and LR_P ~10^-4 g·m^-2·d^-1). It is indicated that Sr_0.5Zr₂(PO₄)₃-SmPO₄ dual-phase ceramics possesses excellent chemical durability for HLW disposal.
