High fidelity nuclear reactor fuel assembly simulation using CFD method is an effective way for the structure design and optimization. The validated models and user practice guidelines play critical roles in achieving reliable results in CFD simulations. In this paper, the international benchmark MATiS-H is studied carefully and the best user practice guideline is achieved for the rod bundles simulation. Then a 5 × 5 rod bundles model in the advanced pressurized water reactor (PWR) is established and the detailed three-dimensional thermal-hydraulic characteristics are investigated. The influence of spacer grids and mixing vanes on the flow and hear transfer in rod bundles is revealed. As the coolant flows through the spacer grids and mixing vanes in the rod bundles, the drastic lateral flow would be induced and the pressure drop increases significantly. In addition, the heat transfer is enhanced remarkably due to the strong mixing effects. The calculation results could provide meaningful guidelines for the design of advanced PWR fuel assembly.

The extinction characteristics of low strain rate normal gravity (1-g) nonpremixed methane-air flames were studied numerically and experimentally. A time-dependent axisymmetric two-dimensional (2D) model considering buoyancy effects and radiative heat transfer was developed to capture the structure and extinction limits of 1-g flames. One-dimensional (1D) computations were also conducted to provide information on 0-g flames. A 3-step global reaction mechanism was used in both the 1D and 2D computations to predict the measured extinction limit and flame temperature. A specific maximum heat release rate was introduced to quantify the local flame strength and to elucidate the extinction mechanism. Overall fractional contribution by each term in the energy equation to the heat release was evaluated to investigate the multi-dimensional structure and radiative extinction of 1-g flames. Images of flames were taken for comparison with the model calculation undergoing extinction. The two-dimensional numerical model was validated by comparing flame temperature profiles and extinction limits with experiments and ID computation results. The 2D computations yielded insight into the extinction mode and flame structure of 1-g flames. Two combustion regimes depending on the extinction mode were identified. Lateral heat loss effects and multi-dimensional flame structure were also found. At low strain rates of 1-g flame ('Regime A'), the flame is extinguished from the weak outer flame edge, which is attributed to multi-dimensional flame structure and flow field. At high strain rates, ('Regime B'), the flame extinction initiates near the flame centerline due to an increased diluent concentration in reaction zone, which is the same as the extinction mode of 1D flame. These two extinction modes could be clearly explained with the specific maximum heat release rate.

This paper presents numerical analysis and design optimization of various turbine blade cooling techniques with three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes(RANS) analysis. The fluid flow and heat transfer have been performed using ANSYS-CFX 11.0. A fan-shaped hole for film-cooling has been carried out to improve film-cooling effectiveness with the radial basis neural network method. The injection angle of hole, lateral expansion angle of hole and ratio of length-to-diameter of the hole are chosen as design variables and spatially averaged film-cooling effectiveness is considered as an objective function which is to be maximized. The impingement jet cooling has been performed to investigate heat transfer characteristic with geometry variables. Distance between jet nozzle exit and impingement plate, inclination of nozzle and aspect ratio of nozzle hole are considered as geometry variables. The area averaged Nusselt number is evaluated each geometry variables. A rotating rectangular channel with staggered array pin-fins has been investigated to increase heat transfer performance ad to decrease friction loss using KRG modeling. Two non-dimensional variables, the ratio of the eight diameter of the pin-fins and ratio of the spacing between the pin-fins to diameter of the pin-fins selected as design variables. A rotating rectangular channel with staggered dimples on opposite walls are formulated numerically to enhance heat transfer performance. The ratio of the dimple depth and dimple diameter are selected as geometry variables.

지속적인 폭염이 발생함에 따라 협착으로 인한 포장 솟음이나 교량 신축이음 파손 사례가 다수 발견되고 있다. 특히 교량에서의 협착은 구조물의 안전성을 위협하거나 장기적인 내구성을 저하시킬 수 있는 중요한 문제이다. 본 논문에서는 교량에 협착이 발생할 경우에 대한 구조해석 방법을 제시하고, 대표형식 교량에 대한 협착상태 구조해석을 수행하여 그 거동 영향을 확인하였다. 대표교량은 상부구조의 경우 콘크리트교와 강교, 하부구조의 경우 직접기초와 말뚝기초로 구분하여 선정하였으며, 측방유동압, 알칼리 골재반응에 의한 포장팽창, 뒤채움재의 Creep로 인한 침하를 협착에 대한 추가적인 하중으로 고려하였다. 구조해석 결과를 실제 측정된 유간 데이터와 비교하여 구조해석 방법을 검증하였다. 또한 협착에 의한 거동 영향 분석을 수행하여 축력이 증가함에 따른 상부구조의 형식별 안전율 변화 경향을 확인하였다.

It is desirable to collect the solar thermal energy at relatively high temperature in order to minimize the size of thermal storage system and to enlarge the scope of solar thermal energy utilization. So far the concentrating solar collector has been developed to collect solar thermal energy at relatively high temperature, but it has some difficulties in maintaining the volumetric body of solar collector for long term utilization. On the other hand, the flat-plate solar collector has been developed to collect the solar thermal energy at low temperature, and it has advantages in maintaining the system for long term utilization, since it's thickness is thin and not volumetric. In this study, to develop a solar collector that has both advantages of collecting solar thermal energy at high temperature and fixing conveniently the collector system for long term period, a cylindrical parabolic concentrating solar collector was designed, which has two rows of parabolic reflectors and thin thickness such as the flat-plate solar collector, maintaining the optical form of concentrating solar collector. The characteristics of the concentrating parabolic solar collector newly designed was analysed and the results are summarized as follows; 1. The temperature of the air enclosed in solar collector was all the same as $50^{\circ}C$ in both cases of the open and closed loop, and when the heat transfer fluid was not circulated in tubular absorber, the maximum surface temperature of the absorber was $118-120^{\circ}C$, this results suggested that the heat transfer fluid could be heated up to $118^{\circ}C$. 2. In case of longitudinal installation of the solar collector, the temperature difference of heat transfer fluid between inlet and outlet was $4^{\circ}-6^{\circ}C$ at the flow rate of $110-130{\ell}/hr$, and the collected solar energy per unit area of collector was $300-465W/m^2$. 3. The collected solar energy per unit area for 7 hours was 1960 Kcal/$m^2$ for the open loop and 220 Kcal/$m^2$ for the closed loop. Therefore it is necessary to combine the open and closed loop of solar collectors to improve the thermal efficiency of solar collector. 4. The thermal efficiency of the solar collector (C.P.C.S.C.) was proportional to the density of solar radiation, indicating the maximum thermal efficiency ${\eta}_{max}=58%$ with longitudinal installation and ${\eta}_{max}=45%$ with lateral installation. 5. The thermal efficiency of the solar collector (C.P.C.S.C.) was increased in accordance with the increase of flow rate of heat transfer fluid, presenting the flow rate of $110{\ell}/hr$ was the value of turning point of the increasing rate of the collector efficiency, therefore the flow rate of $110{\ell}/hr$ was considered as optimum value for the test of the solar collector (C.P.C.S.C.) performance when the heat transfer fluid is a liquid. 6. In both cases of longitudinal and lateral installation of the solar collector (C.P.C.S.C.), the thermal efficiency was decreased linearly with an increase in the value of the term ($T_m-T_a$)/Ic and the increasing rate of the thermal efficiency was not effected by the installation method of solar collector.

Thermal cracking is commonly modeled as plug flow reaction, neglecting the lateral gradients present. In this paper, 2-dimensional computational fluid dynamics including turbulence model and molecular reaction scheme are carried out. This simulation is solved by means of coupled implicit scheme for stable convergence of solution. The reactor is modeled as an isothermal tube, whose length is 1.2 m and radius is 0.01 m, respectively. At first, The radial profile of velocity and temperature at each point are predicted in its condition. Then the bulk temperature and conversion curve along the axial direction are compared with other published data to identify the reason why discussed variations of properties are important to product yield. Finally, defining a new non-dimensional number, Effect of interaction with turbulence, heat transfer and chemical reaction are discussed for design of thermal cracking furnace.

본 연구에서는 선일공업(주)의 축적된 기술력을 바탕으로 초고강도(150MPa급) 콘크리트를 당사 기술 연구소 신축시 노출콘크리트에 적용함으로써, 이에 대한 사례를 소개하고자 한다. 현장적용에 앞서 실내실험 및 레미콘 배치플랜트 실험(이하 B/P Test)을 통해 콘크리트의 기초물성(슬럼프플로우, 공기량, 50cm도달시간, 경시변화, 압축강도) 및 생산성을 평가하였으며, 다음으로 실구조물과 동일한 벽체두께 거푸집종류 노출콘크리트용 콘 등을 고려하여 제작한 모의부재를 대상으로 Mock-up Test를 실시하여 충진성, 표면마감성(육안관찰) 및 수화열을 평가하였다. 그 결과 슬럼프플로우, 공기량, 50cm도달시간, 경시변화 및 압축강도는 요구조건에 만족한 결과를 보였으며, 수화열 계측결과는 온도균열지수 0.78로 유해한 균열발생을 제한할 지수를 나타냈다. 현장타설시 초고강도 콘크리트의 높은 단위용적중량으로 인해 거푸집 터짐현상이 발생하였기 때문에, 재타설시에는 재발방지를 위해 거푸집을 보강하고 타설시간을 조정하였다. 또한 노출표면의 극대화를 위해 저주파(1차) 및 고주파(2차)로 2회에 걸쳐 진동다짐을 실시하였지만 표면곰보가 발생하였다. 따라서 향후 초고강도 콘크리트를 노출콘크리트에 적용할 경우, 다양한 변수조건에 대한 체계적인 시공관리계획 및 시공방법개선이 중요할 것으로 판단된다.

가스터빈엔진 내의 블레이드에서는 표면에 외부의 찬 공기를 흘려주는 작은 냉각 홀들을 가공하고 열 차단 코팅시스템을 코팅하는 방법으로 기지금속을 고온에서 보호한다. 열 차단 코팅은 열피로 과정에서 산화막의 성장 및 접합층과 산화막의 열팽창계수의 불일치로 산화막내부에 잔류응력이 발생하며 궁극적으로 코팅층의 분리를 유발한다. 본 연구에서는 내열합금 시편 표면에 작은 홀을 가공하여 여러 가지 고온 유지 조건에서 열 및 기계적 피로 시험을 수행하여 홀 주위의 산화막의 변형을 관찰하였다. 실험결과 기계적 피로가 홀 주위의 산화막의 변형에 중요한 영향을 미치며, 동일한 산화막 두께에서 고온 유지 시간이 짧을수록 변형이 쉽게 발생 하였다. 또한 본 연구에서는 홀 주위 산화막의 응력해석을 위한 이론적인 연구도 시도되었다.

This paper describes generating efficiency characteristics of the double acting Stirling engine/generator for domestic small-scale CHP (Combined Heat and Power) system. In small distributed generation applications, Stirling engine has competition from fuel cell, microturbine and etc. In order to be economical in the applications, a long life with minimum maintenance is generally required. Free piston Stirling engine (FPSE) has no crank and rotating parts to generate lateral forces and require lubrication. Double acting Stirling engine/generator has one displacer and two power piston which are supported by flexure springs. Two power pistons oscillate with symmetric displacement and are connected with moving magnet type linear generators for power generation from PV work. In experiments, 1 kW class double acting free piston Stirling engine/generator is fabricated and tested. Heat is supplied to hot end of engine by the combustion of natural gas and converted to electric power by linear generators which are assembled with power pistons. The electric parameters such as voltage, current and phase are measured with for variable flow rate of fuel gas. Especially, generating efficiency of FPSE is measured with three different measurement methods. Generating efficiency of the double acting Stirling engine/alternator is about 24%.
