Lean duplex stainless steels have been developed in Korea for the purpose of being used in the seawater systems of industry. There are also many important seawater systems in nuclear power plants. These systems supply seawater to cooling water condenser tubes, heat exchanger tubes, related pipes and chlorine injection systems. The flow velocity of some part of seawater systems in nuclear power plants is high and damages of components from corrosion are severe. The considered lean duplex stainless steels are STS329LD (20.3Cr-2.2Ni-1.4Mo) and STS329J3L (22.4Cr-5.7Ni-3Mo) and PRENs of them are 29.4 and 37.3 respectively. Physical, mechanical and micro-structural properties of them are evaluated, and electrochemical corrosion resistance is measured quantitatively in NaCl solution. Critical Pitting Temperatures (CPT)s are measured on these alloys and pit depths are evaluated using laser microscope. Long period field tests on these alloys are now being performed, and some results are going to be presented in the following study.

반도성 세라믹 광촉매 막 반응기(membrane reactor)에 의한 난분해성 유독 유기물질의 효율적인 분해공정을 개발하기 위한 기초 연구로서 $TiO_{2}$ 광촉매 막의 전기화학 반응에 의한 개미산(formic acid)의 산화/분해 효율성에 대해 연구하였다. 막 반응기는 용액의 여과(filtration)와 광전기화학 반응에 의한 유기물의 광분해를 동시에 수행할 수 있도록 제작되었다. 복합막의 담체임과 동시에 전극의 역할을 할 수 있는 전기 전도성 $SnO_{2}$ 또는 stainless steel 다공성 튜브상에 pH가 1.45인 $TiO_{2}$ 졸을 졸-겔 침지 코팅하여 광촉매 복합막을 제조하였으며 광원으로는 365 nm 파장을 갖는 UV를 사용하였다. $TiO_{2}$ 광촉매 막의 전기화학 반응에 의한 개미산의 산화효율은 전극에 걸어주는 전압과 반응시간에 따라 증가하였으나 투과량(flux)에는 거의 무관하였다. $TiO_{2}/SnO_{2}$ 복합막을 사용한 경우 외부 전압을 27V 걸어주었을때 77% 정도의 산화효율을 얻을 수 있었으며 $TiO_{2}$/stainless steel 복합막에서는 90% 이상이었다. 광촉매 전기화학 반응을 이용함으로써 높은 투과량하에서도 개미산의 산화효율을 단순한 $TiO_{2}$ 광촉매 반응에서 보다 6~7배 가량 증진시킬 수 있었다.

튜브 피치와 주변 튜브의 열유속이 수평으로 설치된 튜브 배열의 풀비등 열전달에 미치는 영향을 살펴보기 위하여 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 실험을 위하여 외경이 19 mm인 두 개의 스테인리스강 튜브와 대기압 상태인 물을 사용하였다. 튜브간 피치는 18.5~95 mm이며, 주변 튜브의 열유속은 $0{\sim}90kW/m^2$이다. 열전달 향상은 주변 튜브의 열유속이 크고 시편의 열유속이 $40kW/m^2$보다 낮은 경우에 분명하게 관찰되었다. 피치가 튜브 지름의 4배 보다 크면 피치 변화가 열전달에 미치는 영향은 무시할 수 있을 정도이다. 순환유동, 대류유동, 액체교란은 열전달을 향상시키며 유동간섭과 기포군집은 열전달을 둔화시킨다.

The need for improved fuel efficiency, weight reduction has motivated the automotive industry to focus on aluminum alloys as a replacement for steel-based alloy. To cope with the needs for high structural rigidity with low weight, it is forecasted that substantial amount of cast components will be replaced by tubular parts which are mainly manufactured by the extruded aluminum tubes. The extrusion process is utilized to produce tubes and hollow sections. Because there is no weld seam, the circumferential mechanical properties may be uniform and advantageous for hydroforming. However the possibility of the occurrence of a surface defect is very high, especially due to the temperature increase from forming at high pressure when it comes out of the bearing and the roughness of the bearing, which cause the surface defects such as the dies line and pick-up. And when forming a extruded aluminum tube, the free surface of the tube becomes rough with increasing plastic strain. This is well known as orange peel phenomena and has a great effect not only on the surface quality of a product but also on the forming limit. In an attempt to increase the forming limit of the tubular specimen, in the present paper, surface asperities generated during the hydroforming process are polished to eliminate the weak positions of the tube which lead to a localized necking. It is shown that the forming limit of the tube can be considerably improved by simple method of polishing the surface roughness during hydroforming. And also the extent of the crack propagation caused by dies lines generated during the extrusion process is evaluated according to the deformed shape of the tube.

In this study, experimental results of the nucleate boling of wire-wrapped tubes are provided. Both water and R-113 were boiled. Solid stainless steel wires, stranded copper wires and stranded nylon wires were tested. Solid stainless wire is effective to enhance the boiling of water. The performance is approximately the same(or slightly better at certain conditions) as that of GEWA-T tubes. For the test range of wire diameter 0.6 $mm{\le}d{\le}2.6 mm$, the optimum gap width increases as the wire diameter increases. The maximum heat transfer coefficient was obtained for the 1.0 mm diameter wire, and it is 1.6 times larger than that of the GEWA-T at the heat flux of 20 $kW/m^{2}.$ Solid stainless wire is also effective to enhance the boling of R-113 at low heat fluxes. The performance of the wire-wrapped tube approaches that of GEWA-T. At high heat fluxes, however, the enhancement decreases. The reason may be attributed to the cavity shape and the high wettability of the refrigerants. Stranded copper or nylon wire is effective to enhance the boiling of R-113. The performance is approximately the same(or slightly better) as that of GEWA-T tubes. Maximum heat transfer was obtained for the stranded nylon wire, and it is approximately 1.4 times larger than that for the GEWA-T at the heat flux of 20 $kW/m^{2}.$ The reason may be atrributed to the favorable thermal environment in the restricted regions formed by twisted wires.

In this paper, the single and multi-objective optimization of thin-walled conical tubes with different types of indentations under axial impact has been investigated using surrogate models called metamodels. The geometry of tapered thin-walled tubes has been studied in order to achieve maximum specific energy absorption (SEA) and minimum peak crushing force (PCF). The height, radius, thickness, tapered angle of the tube, and the radius of indentation have been considered as design variables. Based on the design of experiments (DOE) method, the generated sample points are computed using the explicit finite element code. Different surrogate models including Kriging, Feed Forward Neural Network (FNN), Radial Basis Neural Network (RNN), and Response Surface Modelling (RSM) comprised to evaluate the appropriation of such models. The comparison study between surrogate models and the exploration of indentation shapes have been provided. The obtained results show that the RNN method has the minimum mean squared error (MSE) in training points compared to the other methods. Meanwhile, optimization based on surrogate models with lower values of MSE does not provide optimum results. The RNN method demonstrates a lower crashworthiness performance (with a lower value of 125.7% for SEA and a higher value of 56.8% for PCF) in comparison to RSM with an error order of $10^{-3}$. The SEA values can be increased by 17.6% and PCF values can be decreased by 24.63% by different types of indentation. In a specific geometry, higher SEA and lower PCF require triangular and circular shapes of indentation, respectively.

The drag and heat transfer reduction phenomena and degradation effects of drag reducing polymer solutions which are known as the viscoelastic fluids are investigated experimentally for the turbulent circular tube flows. Two stainless steel tubes are used for the experimental flow loops. Aqueous solutions of Polyacrylamide Separan AP-273 with concentrations from 300 to 1000 wppm are used as working fluids. Flow loops are set up to measure the friction factors and heat transfer coefficients of test tubes in the once-through system and the recirculating flow system. Test tubes are heated by power supply directly to apply constant heat flux boundary conditions on the wall. Capillary tube viscometer and falling ball viscometer are used to measure the viscous characteristics of fluids and the characteristic relaxation time of a fluid is determined by the Powell-Eyring model. The order of magnidude of the thermal entrance length of a drag reducing polymer solution is close to the order of magnitude of the laminar entrance length of Newtonian fluids. Dimensionless heat transfer coefficients of the viscoelastic non-Newtonian fluids may be represented as a function of flow behavior index n and newly defined viscoelastic Graetz number. As degradation continues viscosity and the characteristic relaxation time of the testing fluids decrease and heat transfer coefficients increase. The characteristic relaxation time is used to define the Weissenberg number and variations of friction factors and heat transfer coefficients due to degradation are presented in terms of the Weissenberg number.

내부 구속 중공 CFT(ICH-CFT) 기둥은 콘크리트의 양쪽(중공부와 외부)에 두 개의 강관이 삽입된 형태이다. 외부 강관과 내부 장관은 강관과 중공 부분으로 인하여 좋은 내진 성능과 연성을 발휘하며, 또한 에너지 흡수도 하는 기능을 가지고 있다. 그러므로 본 교각 형태의 실용성을 위한 연구가 필요하다고 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 ICH-CFT 기둥의 실용적인 설계를 목적으로, 내진성능에 대한 매개변수 연구를 실시하였다. 매개변수는 교각의 지름과 중공비 그리고 같은 모멘트 성능을 발휘하는 장관의 두께이다. 또한 경제성에 따른 연성도 평가와 CFT기둥과의 비교를 통하여 좀 더 실용적인 평가를 하고자 하였다. 특히, 중공비와 외부강관 두께에 따라 내진성능이 차이를 보였으며, ICH-CFT 교각의 외부강관의 두께에 따른 경제적인 중공비를 제시하였다.

무방향성 규소강판을 사용한 자기식 네온관용 변압기는 내구성이 좋은 반면에 용량에 따른 규소 강판의 무게가 무겁고 외형이 큰 관계로 네온관 설치 작업 시 상당히 불편한 점이 많다. 또한 네온관의 다양한 디스플레이 제어성면에서도 비합리적 이었다. 이를 개선하기 위한 방법으로 네온 트랜스포머의 전원장치 및 2차측 고압 출력부를 고속의 고주파 스위칭 파워 트랜지스터(MOSFET)를 이용하여 상용주파수 60［Hz］를 고속 스위칭 제어를 통하여 20［KHz］의 고주파로 변환시킨후, 네온관을 방전시키기 위한 고전압을 발생시키는 인버터식 네온관용 변압기를 구현하였다. 또한 네온관의 파손이나 누전으로 인한 화재나 인체 감전의 위험을 사전에 방지할 수 있는 보호회로 GFCI(Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter)를 제안 하였다.

Bi-22l2 tubes for fault current limiter (FCL) were fabricated by centrifugal melting process. $SrSO_4$ ($10\;wt.\;\%$) was added to Bi-2212 powder to lower the melting point of Bi-22l2 and to improve the mechanical properties. The BSCCO powder was completely melted at $1300\;^{\circ}C$ using the RF furnace and then poured into rotating steel mold. The steel mold, preheated at $450\;{\circ}C{\sim}550^{\circ}C$ for 2 hour was rotated at $1020{\sim}2520\;RPM$. The solidified BSCCO tube was cooled down to room temperature in the furnace for 48 hours and separated from the mold between Bi-2212 and the mold. $ZrO_2$ solution was used to separate it easily from the mold and Ag tape was attached in the mold inner wall of the mold to analysis electrical property. Bi-22l2 tube was often cracked when the cooling rate was high. BSCCO tubes with $70{\Phi}{\times}100\;mm,\;50{\Phi}{\times}100\;mm$ and $30{\Phi}{\times}150\;mm$ size were fabricated by centrifugal melting process. The $J_{c}s$ of tubes with $50{\Phi}{\times}100\;mm{\times}4.0\;t$ and $50{\Phi}{\times}100\;mm{\times}4.l\;t$ were 178 and $74.2\;A/cm^2$ at 77K, respectively. The processing condition for Bi-2212 tube fabrication was investigated using XRD and SEM analyses.
