Steam generator (SG) tubes are expanded inside tubesheet holes by using explosive or hydraulic methods to be fixed in a tubesheet. In the tube expansion process, it is important to minimize the crevice gap between expanded tube and tube sheet. In this paper, absolute and differential signals are computed by a numerical method for several different locations of tube expansion inside and outside a tubesheet and signal variations due to tubesheet, tube expansion and operating frequencies are observed. Results show that low frequency is good for detecting tubesheet location in both types of signals and high frequency is suitable for sizing of tube diameter as well as the detection of transition region. Also learned is that the absolute signal is good for measuring tube diameter, while the differential signal is good for locating the top of tubesheet and both ends of the transition region. In the case of mingled anomaly with tube expansion and tubesheet, low frequency inspection is found to be useful to analyze the mixed signal.

The large-area high-power radio-frequency (RF) driven ion sources based on the negative hydrogen (deuterium) ion beam extraction are the major components of neutral beam injection (NBI) systems in future large-scale fusion devices such as an ITER and DEMO. Positive hydrogen (deuterium) RF ion sources were the major components of the second NBI system on ASDEX-U tokamak. A test large-area high-power RF ion source (LAHP-RaFIS) has been developed for steady-state operation at the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) to extract the positive ions, which can be used for the NBI heating and current drive systems in the present fusion devices, and to extract the negative ions for negative ion-based plasma heating and for future fusion devices such as a Fusion Neutron Source and Korea-DEMO. The test RF ion source consists of a driver region, including a helical antenna and a discharge chamber, and an expansion region. RF power can be transferred at up to 10 kW with a fixed frequency of 2 MHz through an optimized RF matching system. An actively water-cooled Faraday shield is located inside the driver region of the ion source for the stable and steady-state operations of RF discharge. The characteristics and uniformities of the plasma parameter in the RF ion source were measured at the lowest area of the expansion bucket using two RF-compensated electrostatic probes along the direction of the short- and long-dimensions of the expansion region. The plasma parameters in the expansion region were characterized by the variation of loaded RF power (voltage) and filling gas pressure.

A BEM program is developed for the performance analysis of axisymmetric mufflers. In the program the sub-region method is used to deal with singularity or inner boundary. The program is applied to typical axisymmjetric mufflers such as simple expansion, extended tube, perforated tube and absorptive expansion sufflers. The transmission losses of the mufflers are calculated by the program and compared with experiments. It is found that the prediction is in a good agreement with measurement, except for the absorptive muffler with parallel lining.

Characteristics of the interface between tube and tube sheet which were formed by explosive expansion and roll expansion, have been studied in the research. The results are as follows: Optimum amounts of explosives for the expansion of Alloy 600 (19.05mm and 15.88mm) were found to be RDX 3.5-8.5g/m. Because explosive expansion caused les strain hardening and increased bounding strength, characteristics of the explosively expanded were better than those of mechanically expanded. As the transition region of the explosive expansion is inactive, the resistance to the stress corrosion cracking increases by 30∼40% compared to the roll and hydraulic expansion.

This paper investigates the control problem of evaporator superheat, i.e., the difference between the temperature of the refrigerant at the entrance region of an evaporator and that at the exit region, for multi-type air-conditioning/refrigeration systems. Mathematical equations describing the characteristics of compressor, condenser, evaporator, and electronic expansion valve are first derived. Then, the transfer functions from the current input of the electronic expansion valve to wall temperatures of evaporator tube at two-phase region and superheated region, respectively, are derived. The stability and performance of the closed loop system with a PI controller are analyzed by Nyquist stability criterion. Simulation results are provided.

계층적 자료구조인 사진트리는 영상을 표현하는데 매우 중요한 자료구조이다. 사진트리를 메모리에 저장하는 방법 중 선형 사진트리 표현방법은 다른 표현 방법과 비교할 때 저장 공간을 매우 효율적으로 절약할 수 있는 이점이 있기 때문에 사진트리와 관련된 연산의 수행을 위해 선형 사진트리를 사용하는 효율적인 알고리즘 개발에 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 영역 확장은 영상을 주어진 거리만큼 확장시키는 연산이고, 스케일링은 영상을 주어진 크기만큼 증폭시키는 연산으로 영상의 기하학적 연산에 속한다. 본 논문에서는 RMESH(Reconfigulrable MESH) 구조에서 3-차원 n${\times}$n${\times}$n 프로세서를 사용하여 선형 사진트리로 표면된 영상의 영역 확장과 스케일링을 수행하는 효율적인 알고리즘을 제안한다. 이 알고리즘은 n${\times}$n${\times}$n RMESH의 계층구조에서 선형 사진트리의 위치코드들을 효율적으로 전송할 수 있는 기본적인 연산들을 이용함으로써 상수 시간의 시간복잡도를 갖는다.

The reason of abnormal expansion in BaTiO3 synthesized in the equimolecular mixture and synthesized in Ba-rich region were investigated at the point of crystal and microstructure. The shrinkage and the expansion of the mixtures in BaCO3-TiO2 system were determined by the mass of BaCO3 added to the equimolecular BaCO3 and TiO2, Ba2TiO4 which was much formed and BaTi2O3 were important crystal in the reaction of Ba-rich region. Sintering phenomena of unreacted BaCO3 activity and the secondary phase caused to generate microcracks in the specimens.

A finite element analysis was carried out for a 4:1 planar contraction die for polymer melts using the viscoelastic constitutive equation of Leonov. Viscoelastic fluids showed significant differences in pressure drop and birefringence in contraction and expansion flows. The pressure drop was higher and the birefringence smaller in expansion than in contraction flow. The difference increased with increasing flow rate. The nonlinear Leonov model was shown to describe the viscoelastic effects observed in experiments.

A method is developed to include the effect of volume expansion in the description of the flame dynamics using G-equation. Line volume-source is used to represent the effect of the exothermic process of combustion with source strength assigned by the density difference between the burned and the unburned region. The present model provides good agreement with the experimental results. Including volume expansion, the flow field is adjusted to accommodate the increased volume flow rate which crossing the flame front and the result predicts the same behavior of measured velocity field qualitatively. The effect of increasing volume expansion does not change the initial growth rate of flame area but increase the residence time. Consequently this effect increases the maximum area of flame front. The flame propagation in varying flow field due to volume expansion provides a promising way to represent the wrinkled turbulent premixed flames in a numerically efficient manner.

Abrasion in fretting wear mechanism is studied experimentally with the specimens of two different shapes of spacer grid spring and fuel tubes of a nuclear fuel. Reciprocating sliding wear test has been carried out in the environment of air and water at room temperature. Especially, third body abrasion is referred to for explaining the wear region expansion found during the slip displacement increase with constant normal contact farce. It is found that the expansion behaviour depends on the contact shape. The small clearance between the tube and spring seems to be the preferable region of the wear particle accumulation, which causes third body abrasion of the non-contact area. Even in water environment the third body abrasion occurs apparently. Since the abrasion on the clearance contributes wear volume, the influence of the contact shape on the severity of third body abrasion should be considered to improve the grid spring design in the point of restraining wear damage of a nuclear fuel.
