In order to develop 2nd generation (2G) high-temperature superconducting (HTS) wires as commercial products, it is necessary to perform a high speed investigation of their superconducting performance. Room-temperature and non-contact optical scanning tools are necessary to verify the microstructure of the superconducting materials, the current flow below the critical temperature, and the critical current density. In this paper, we report our results of an inspection of the electrical transport properties of coated conductors. The samples that we used in our study were highly qualified rare-earth based coated conductors produced via co-evaporation, and $SmBa_2Cu_3O_{7-y}$ (SmBCO) was the superconducting materials used in our studies. A film grown on IBAD-MgO templates shows larger than 400 A/cm at 77 K and a self-field. The local transport properties of the films were investigated by room-temperature imaging by thermal heating. The room-temperature images show structural inhomogeneities on the surface of the films. Bolometric response imaging via low-temperature bolometric microscopy was used to construct the local current mapping at the surface. These results indicate that the non-uniform regions on the surface disturb the current flow, and laser scanning images at room-temperature and at a low-temperature suggest a correlation between the structural properties and transport properties. Thus this method can be effective to evaluate the quality of the coated conductors.

Flow blockage of the fuel assembly in the lead-based fast reactor (LFR) may produce critical local spots, which will result in cladding failure and threaten reactor safety. In this study, the flow blockage characteristics were analyzed with the sub-channel analysis method, and the circumferentially-varied method was employed for considering the non-uniform distribution of circumferential temperature. The developed sub-channel analysis code SACOS-PB was validated by a heat transfer experiment in a blocked 19-rod bundle cooled by lead-bismuth eutectic. The deviations between the predicted coolant temperature and experimental values are within ±5%, including small and large flow blockage scenarios. And the temperature distributions of the fuel rod could be better simulated by the circumferentially-varied method for the small blockage scenario. Based on the validated code, the analysis of blockage characteristics was conducted. It could be seen from the temperature and flow distributions that a large blockage accident is more destructive compared with a small one. The sensitivity analysis shows that the closer the blockage location is to the exit, the more dangerous the accident is. Similarly, a larger blockage length will lead to a more serious case. And a higher exit temperature will be generated resulting from a higher peak coolant temperature of the blocked region. This work could provide a reference for the future design and development of the LFR.

본 연구에서는 생활폐기물 관로이송 설비에서 사용되고 있는 터보블로어 입구베인의 설정각도에 따른 성능특성을 삼차원 나비어-스톡스 방정식을 통한 수치해석과 실험적인 방법을 적용하여 분석하였다. 다양한 압력특성에 따라 운전되는 시스템 특성을 고려하여 2 대의 터보블로어를 직렬로 연결한 실험용 시뮬레이터를 설계, 제작하고 각각의 터보블로어 성능특성을 입구베인의 설정각도에 따라 분석하였다. 입구베인의 설정각도에 따른 터보블로어 성능특성을 수치해석과 실험적 평가밥법으로 분석하여, 입구베인 설정각도가 완전 개방조건인 90 도에서 60 도까지 사용하였을 경우 효율의 손실없이 압력 및 유량을 제어할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 입구베인의 설정각도가 작은 경우에는 입구측의 스월흐름으로 인하여 입구 유속분포가 불균일하게 되며, 이로 인하여 하류측에 설치되는 터보블로어의 효율이 상대적으로 감소됨을 알 수 있었다.

Wake-induced aerodynamics of yawed circular cylinders with smooth and grooved surfaces in a tandem arrangement was studied. This pair of cylinders represent sections of stay-cables with smooth surfaces and high-voltage power conductors with grooved surfaces that are vulnerable to flow-induced structural failure. The study provides some insight for a better understanding of wake-induced loads and galloping problem of bundled cables. All experiments in this study were conducted using a pair of stationary section models of circular cylinders in a wind tunnel subjected to uniform and smooth flow. The aerodynamic force coefficients and vortex-shedding frequency of the downstream model were extracted from the surface pressure distribution. For measurement, polished aluminum tubes were used as smooth cables; and hollow tubes with a helically grooved surface were used as power conductors. The aerodynamic properties of the downstream model were captured at wind speeds of about 6-23 m/s (Reynolds number of 5×10⁴ to 2.67×10⁵ for smooth cable and 2×10⁴ to 1.01×10⁵ for grooved cable) and yaw angles ranging from 0° to 45° while the upstream model was fixed at the various spacing between the two model cylinders. The results showed that the Strouhal number of yawed cable is less than the non-yawed case at a given Reynolds number, and its value is smaller than the Strouhal number of a single cable. Additionally, compared to the single smooth cable, it was observed that there was a reduction of drag coefficient of the downstream model, but no change in a drag coefficient of the downstream grooved case in the range of Reynolds number in this study.

Cryoablation device is a surgical instrument to produce the cooling effect to destroy detrimental biological tissue by utilizing low temperature around 110 K. Usually, this device has the concentrated cooling region, so that it is suitable for concentrated and thick target. Accordingly, it is hard to apply this device for the target which is distributed and thin target. In this study, the design procedure of a closed-loop cryoablation device with multiple J-T expansion part is developed for the treatment of incompetent of great saphenous vein. The developed cyoablation device is designed with the analysis of 1-dimensional (1-D) bio-heat equation. The energy balance is considered to determine the minimum mass flow rate of refrigerant for consecutive flow boiling to develop the uniform cooling temperature. Azeotropic mixed refrigerant R410A and zeotropic mixed refrigerant (MR) of R22 ($CHClF_2$) and R23 ($CHF_3$) are utilized as operating fluids of the developed cryoablation device to form the sufficient temperature and to verify the quality of the inside of cryoablation probe. The experimental results of R410A and the zeotropic MR show the temperature non-uniformity over the range are $244.8K{\pm}2.7K$ and $239.8K{\pm}4.7K$ respectively. The experimental results demonstrate that the probe experiences the consecutive flow boiling over the target range of 200 mm.

가정용 진공청소기는 기본적으로 집진장치(dust collector), 프리 필터(pre filter), 모터(motor), 배기 필터(exhaust filter)의 구조를 가지며, 흡입된 먼지가 포함된 공기는 이러한 구조를 지나 깨끗한 공기가 되어 대기로 방출된다. 본 연구에서는 실생활에 사용되고 있는 구조가 다른 2개의 사이클론 청소기를 선정하여 사이클론 청소기 내 집진장치의 내부 공기 유동에 대해 전산유체역학을 적용하여 집진성능을 평가하고자 하였다. 사이클론 콘(cyclone cone) 영역에서 공기의 유선(streamline)을 해석한 결과, 사이클론 콘 영역에서 상당한 선회수를 가지는 것을 확인하였다. 특정 형상의 청소기에 대한 전산해석 결과에서 출구에서의 속도 분포가 매우 불균일한 결과를 나타내었고 이로 인해 집진성능에 악영향이 나타남이 파악되었다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위해 집진장치 형상에 추가적으로 배플을 설치하여, 달라진 속도 분포에 의한 속도 RMS (Root Mean Square) 값의 개선을 평가하였다.

The present study investigates the convective heat/mass transfer characteristics in wavy ducts of a primary surface heat exchanger. The effects of duct aspect ratio and flow velocity on the heat/mass transfer are investigated. Local heat/mass transfer coefficients on the corrugated duct sidewall are determined using a naphthalene sublimation technique. The aspect ratios of the wavy duct are 7.3, 4.7 and 1.8 with the corrugation angle of $145\Omega$. The Reynolds numbers, based on the duct hydraulic diameter, vary from 300 to 3,000. The results show that at the low Re(Re $\leq$ 1000) the secondary vortices called Taylor-Gortler vortices perpendicular to the main flow direction are generated due to effect of duct curvature. By these secondary vortices, non-uniform heat/mass transfer coefficients distributions appear. As the aspect ratio decreases, the number of cells formed by secondary vortices are reduced and secondary vortices and comer vortices mix due to decreased aspect ratio at Re$\leq$1000. At Re >1000, the effects of corner vortices become stronger. The average Sh for the aspect ratio of 7.3 and 4.7 are almost same. But at the small aspect ratio of 1.8, the average Sh decreases due to decreased aspect ratio. More pumping power (pressure loss) is required for the larger aspect ratio due to the higher flow instability.

소형위성 발사체 추진제 공급계 배관의 구부러짐으로 인하여 배관내부의 추진제 유동은 불균일하며 이는 터보펌프 전단의 블레이드의 파괴 및 후단의 가압된 추진제의 불안정성을 야기시킨다. 따라서 추진제의 효율적인 공급을 위하여 vane이 장착된 곡관 배관이 필요하며 내부에서의 유동장을 수치해석으로 규명하여 그 문제점을 해결할 수 있는 지 연구하였다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 각각 90도와 45도로 구부러진 3인치 산화제 배관과 2.5인치 연료 배관의 구부러진 부분에는 $0\sim3$개의 vane을 등 간격으로 설치하였다. 3차원 Navier-Stokes 방정식을 풀기 위하여 상용코드를 이용하였으며, 곡관 배관 설계를 평가하기 위하여 각 90, 45도의 vane이 설치되지 않은 곡관과 $1\sim3$개의 vane이 장착된 곡관을 비교하였다. vane의 개수에 의한 배관 설계의 영향을 알아보기 위하여 90, 45도의 곡관에 vane이 0, 1, 2, 3개가 등 간격으로 장착이 되었을 때의 결과를 비교하였다. 배관내의 유동 균일성과 차압을 알기 위하여 속도크기와 압력분포를 계산하였다. vane이 많을수록 곡관의 각도가 클수록 곡관을 지난 유동은 더 균일해졌으나 배관 차압은 더 증가하였다.

This study compared the theory of a culvert spacing and analytical results of the seepage flow for the subsurface drainage. i) If culvert spacing (Sc) is within 5 m, the unit drainage (q) is very larger; in contrast, if Sc is 5 m or more, there is very little drainage in the middle between drains. Therefore, the drain spacing should be within 5 m to ensure high drainage efficiency. ii) Since the planned culvert drainage increases linearly with the soil's permeability coefficient (k), k must be taken into account when determining the drain diameter by the planned culvert drainage. iii) As a result of analyzing the drainage performance of the absorbing culvert, the drainage performance is sufficient with the diameter of the corrugated drain pipe Dc = 50 mm at the length of the drain Lc = 100 m. iv) Therefore, if the drain spacing (Sc) is less than 5 m using the low-cost non-excavated drainage pipe method (${\Phi}50mm$ the corrugated drain pipe and fiber mat) rather than the conventional trench drain method (Sc > 10 m, Dc > 100 mm), uniform and high drainage efficiency can be ensured as well as low construction cost. v) The sub-irrigation+drainage culvert requires narrower drain spacing (Sc < 2-3 m) for irrigation. As a result of examining the condition of 35 mm in diameter (Dc) and 2~3 m in drain spacing, it is possible to apply the non-excavated drainage pipe method to the sub-irrigation+drainage culvert because drainage performance is sufficient at the drain length Lc = 50 m.
