The thermal-hydraulics phenomena in a containment during an accident will necessarily include radiative heat transfer (i) within the gas mixture due to the high radiative absorption and emission of steam and (ii) between the gas mixture and the surrounding structures. The analysis of some previous PANDA experiments (PSI, Switzerland) demonstrated the importance of the proper modelling of radiation for the benefit of numerical simulations. These results together with dedicated scoping calculations conducted for the present experiments indicated that the radiative heat transfer is considerable, even for a very low amount of steam (≈2%). The H2P2 series conducted in the large-scale PANDA facility at the Paul-Scherrer-Institut (PSI) in the framework of the OECD/NEA HYMERES-2 project is intended to enhance the understanding of thermal radiation phenomena and to provide a benchmark for corresponding numerical simulations. Thus, the test matrix was tailored around the two opposite extremes: either gas compositions with small steam content such that radiative heat transfer phenomena can be neglected. Or gas mixtures containing larger amounts of steam, so that radiative heat transfer is expected to play a dominant role. The H2P2 series consists of 5 experiments designed to isolate the radiation phenomena from convective and diffusive effects as much as possible. One vessel with a diameter of 4 m and a height of 8 m was preconditioned with different mixtures of air / steam at room and elevated temperatures. This was followed by the build-up of a stable helium stratification at constant pressure in the upper part of the vessel. After that, helium was injected from the top into the vessel which leads to an increase of the vessel pressure and a corresponding elevation-dependent and transient rise of the gas temperature. It is shown that even the addition of small amounts of steam in the initial gas atmosphere considerably impacts the radiative heat transport throughout all phases of the experiments and markedly influences i) the monitored gas peak temperature, ii) the temperature history during the compression and iii) the following relaxation phase after the compression was stopped. These PANDA experiments are the first of its kind conducted in a large scale thermal-hydraulic facility.

The experimental results of sodium-water reaction noise measurement in frequency range $1{/sim}200kHz$ are presented. The experiments of noise generation under the condition of sodium test facility, water leak rate $0.01{\sim}1.2g/s$ and temperature of sodium $250{\sim}500^{\circ}C$, were carried out. From theoretical study it is noted that the noise resonant attenuation on hydrogen bubbles in liquid sodium plays the significant role for leak noise spectra formation. Interaction of leak noise and hydrogen bubbles in sodium being accompanied by thermal, emission and viscosity energy dissipation was studied. Acoustic noise spectra were investigated from point of view of water leak detection in sodium/water steam generator. The results of sodium-water reaction noise absorption on hydrogen bubbles in liquid sodium by temperature $250{\sim}500^{\circ}C$ are presented. The theoretical model of noise absorption using the coefficients of attenuation was developed. From calculation the coefficients of attenuation were estimated.

Research and development efforts to reduce $CO_2$ emission are in progress to cope with global warming. $CO_2$ emission from fossil fuel fired power plants is a major greenhouse gas source and the post-combustion $CO_2$ capture is considered as a short or medium term option to reduce $CO_2$ emissions. In this study, the application of the post-combustion $CO_2$ capture system, which is based on chemical absorption and stripping processes, to typical fossil fuel fired power plants was investigated. A coal fired plant and a natural gas fired combined cycle plant were selected. Performance of the MEA-based $CO_2$ capture system combined with power plants was analyzed and overall plant performance including the energy consumption of the $CO_2$ capture process was investigated.

2004년 기준, 온실가스(GHG; Greenhouse Gas) 총 배출량 약 5억9,060만톤(t)$CO_2$로 배출량 세계 10위권인 우리나라는 국제 환경의 변화를 볼 때 향후 반드시 GHG를 감축해야한다. 2004년 국내 에너지 부문 중, 전력 발전 및 산업 부분에서 배출된 이산화탄소(CO$_2$)량은 총 2억9,685만t으로 우리나라 GHG 전체 발생량의 53.3%를 차지하여 이 두 분야에서 CO$_2$ 배출을 감축시키는 것이 가장 시급하고 중요한 문제이다. 또한 이 두 분야는 산업의 특성상 CCS(Carbon Capture and Storage) 기술을 적용하여 효율적으로 CO$_2$를 저감할 수 있는 가장 잠재력이 높은 분야이다. 두 분야에서 효율적으로 적용될 수 있는 CCS 기술로 단기적으로는 amine을 이용한 화합흡수법이, 중, 장기적으로는 ATR(Autothermal reforming), 또는 MSR-H2(Methane steam reformer with hydrogen separation membrane reactor)가 장착된 연소 전 기술과, SOFC+GT(Solid oxide fuel cell-Gas turbine) 같은 순산소 연소 기술이 가장 유리 할 것으로 예상된다. 이와 같은 최신 연소 전 및 순산소 연소 기술을 이용하면 향후 CO$_2$ 포집 비용을 $US 8.5-43.5/tCO$_2$로 줄일 수 있으며 이를 이용하여 전력 발전 및 산업 부분에서 발생하는 CO$_2$의 10%만을 감축하더라도 약 3,000만t의 CO$_2$를 저감할 수 있겠다.
