A macroscopic cross section generation model was developed for the conceptual horizontal, compact high temperature gas reactor (HC-HTGR). Because there are many sources of spectral effects in the design and analysis of the core, conventional LWR methods have limitations for accurate simulation of the HC-HTGR using a neutron diffusion core neutronics simulator. Several super-cell model configurations were investigated to consider the spectral effect of neighboring cells. A new history variable was introduced for the existing library format to more accurately account for the history effect from neighboring nodes and reactivity control drums. The macroscopic cross section library was validated through comparison with cross sections generated using full core Monte Carlo models and single cell cross section for both 3D core steady-state problems and 2D and 3D depletion problems. Core calculations were then performed with the AGREE HTR neutronics and thermal-fluid core simulator using super-cell cross sections. With the new history variable, the super-cell cross sections were in good agreement with the full core cross sections even for problems with significant spectrum change during fuel shuffling and depletion.

Effects of uniform flow on a two-dimensional mesoscale horizontal convection were investigated by using the vorticity and thermodynamic equations. For thins purpose, We simulated properties of a thermal convection m a stably stratified Boussinesq flued caused by partial heating at the center of a lower boundary If we don't consider effects of the uniform flow, the convection takes the form of aidsymmetrlc with respect to the z-alds. But when uniform flow Is strong, velocity field and temperature field consist of a sin91e cell structure which spreads upstream side of the partial heating area. The flow pattern for strong uniform flows takes the form of positive temperatue near the ground and negative temperature perturbation soft over the partial heating area, and downward motion directly over the upwind portion of the partial heating area and upward motion on the downstream side. The downstream edge of the upstream cell Is shifted in the downstream direction with the Increase of uniform flow almost linearly.

We investigated experimentally the influence of the generation efficiency for excited Xe atoms on ultra-fine horizontal cell pitch AC PDPs. In the case of a 0.1 mm cell pitch, the sustain voltage increased; however, the generation efficiency was equal to or higher than for the conventional 0.22 mm cell pitch.

There is asymmetric in horizontal and vertical side of PDP cell. Every vertical line has BM(Black Mask) to improve luminance contrast. When error diffusion is processed in PDP system, these problems make an error bigger. In 4 inch PDP system, every red, green, blue color of test pattern is presented and each luminance is measured. That is called horizontal(H), diagonal right(R), diagonal left(L) and vertical(V). In red channel, high luminance descending order is V-H-R-L. In green channel, V-H-L-R. In blue channel, V-M-R=L. After average luminance of each direction is calculated. new weighted error diffusion(Weighted ED) is proposed. In digital image signal processing, the error in weighted ED is differ from ED's. The image of weighted ED is more less error compare to conventional ED and close to original image. As the gray level linearity and big size panel is adopted, weighted ED could produce good image.

Low Rayleigh number thermal convection in a fluid layer confined between two-infinite horizontal walls kept at spatially sinusoidal temperature distributions, T_L=T_m+\Delta T\sin \kappax,\;T_U=T_m+\Delta T\sin(\kappax-\beta)$, is theoretically investigated by a regular perturbation expansion method. For small wave numbers, an upright cell is formed between the two walls at $\beta$=0. The cell is tilted, as the phase difference increases, and a flow with tow counter-rotating eddies occurs at $\beta=\pi$. when the wave number is large, isolated eddies are formed near the lower and upper walls, for all the phase differences. There exists a wave number at which maximum heat transfer rate at the walls occurs, at each of the phase differences. And the wave number increases with increase of the phase difference. for a fixed wave number, the heat transfer rate decrease with increase of the phase difference.

The excavation site in the new city of inchon songdo is distributed with soft reclaimed soil and marine deposit. So, the general ground anchor is not applied to this layer of soft ground as the earth retaining support system, because of settlement. And then, Jacket pack anchor which is newly developed in order to increasing the pullout resistance by certain grout bulb formation and expansion effect in soft ground is applied to this site instead of the general ground anchor. Though the maximum horizontal displacement shows about 30mm~100mm (The maximum horizontal displacement/excavation depth$\fallingdotseq$0.32~1.0%) according to excavation sequence, generally excavation work finished stably. Also, load cell after setting shows almost increasing trend with increasing horizontal displacement. It means that the settlement of Jacket pack anchor in soft ground is good. From the result of this case, we knew that Jacket pack anchor was able to use the earth retaining support system in soft ground. Using Jacket pack anchor in soft ground, The allowance of the horizontal displacement is applied more than general value considering soil factors.

In a SOFC/GT (solid oxide fuel cell/gas turbine) hybrid power generation system, the recuperator is an indispensible component to enhance system performance. Since the expansion ratio to the recuperator core is very large, generally, the effective header design to distribute the flow uniformly before entering the core is crucial to guarantee the required performance. In the present study, we focus on the design of a diffuser type recuperator header with a 90 degree turn inlet port. To reduce the flow separation and recirculation flows, multiple horizontal vanes are used. The number of horizontal vanes is varied from 0 to 24. The air flow velocity is measured at 40 points just behind the core outlet by using a hot wire anemometer. Then, the flow non-uniformity is evaluated from the measured flow velocity. The experimental results showed that inlet air velocity did not effect on relative flow non-uniformity. According to increasing the number of horizontal vanes, flow non-uniformity reduced about $40{\sim}50%$ than without using horizontal vanes.

We propose configurations for a transflective in-plane switching (IPS) cell using muti-domain structures. Usually, the cell configurations for a transflective liquid crystal(LC) cell have a complicated structure, because retardation change of transmissive part and reflective part are not same. The transflective LC cell should have two configurations for each part, such as a multi-cell gap structure. With the ion-beam alignment and the horizontal switching LC cell, a simple structure for a transflective LC cell is proposed. The configuration only adopts one cell gap structure, which may help the enhancement of a yield. Their original optical properties in conventional transmissive and reflective type IPS liquid crystal dispaly(LCD) are kept, it shows the wide-viewing angle and the good wavelength dispersion characteristics.
