Feedwater heaters of many nuclear power plants have recently experienced severe wall thinning damage, which will increase as operating time progresses. Several nuclear power plants in Korea have experienced wall thinning damage in the area around the impingement baffle - installed downstream of the high pressure turbine extraction steam line - inside number 5A and 5B feedwater heaters. At that point, the extracted steam from the high pressure turbine is two phase fluid at high temperature, high pressure, and high speed. Since it flows in reverse direction after impinging the impingement baffle, the shell wall of the number 5 high pressure feedwater heater may be affected by flow-accelerated corrosion. This paper describes the comparisons between the numerical analysis results using the FLUENT code and the down scale experimental data in an effort to determine root causes of the shell wall thinning of the high pressure feedwater heaters. The numerical analysis and experimental data were also confirmed by actual wall thickness measured by an ultrasonic test.

In this study, the cooling performance of a liquid CPU cooler using the water/propylene glycol(PG)-based $Al_2O_3$ nanofluids is experimentally investigated. Water/PG-based $Al_2O_3$ nanofluids are manufactured by two-step method with ultrasonic energy for 10 hours. The volume fractions of the nanofluids are 0.25% and 0.35%. Thermal conductivity and viscosity of the nanofluids are measured to theoretically predict the thermal performance of the liquid CPU cooler using performance factor. Performance factor results indicate that the cooling performance of the liquid CPU cooler can be improved using the manufactured nanofluids. To evaluate the cooling performance of the liquid CPU cooler experimentally, temperature differences between ambient air and heater are measured for base fluid and nanofluids respectively. Based on the results, it is shown that performance of the liquid CPU cooler using $Al_2O_3$ nanofluids is improved maximum up to 8.6% at 0.25 Vol.%.

$YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$ 초전도 필름을 초음파에 의한 aerosol spray 법을 이용하여 YSZ (yttria stabilized zirconia) 및 SrTi$O_3$의 (100) 결정면 위에 만들었다. 초전도상은 세 단계의 과정을 거쳐서 형성되었다 : (가) 이트륨, 바륨, 구리의 질산염을 화학 양론비로 섞어 만든 용액을 250$^{\circ}C$로 가열된 기질에 분무하여, (나) 형성된 필름을 공기 중에서 550$^{\circ}C$로 예열하고, (다) 흐르는 산소 분위기에서 950$^{\circ}C$로 소결한 뒤 노냉하였다. 필름의 저하을 dc four-point probe 법으로 측정하여 액체질소 온도 이상에서 초전도성을 확인하였다.

Feedwater flowing tube side of number 5 high pressure feedwatrr heaters was heated by extracting steam from high pressure turbine and draining water from moisture separators and number 6 high pressure feedwater heaters and supplied into steam generators. Because the extracting steam from the high pressure turbine is two phase fluid of high temperature, high pressure, and high speed and flows to inverse direction after impinging to impingement baffle. the shell wall of the number 5 high pressure feedwater heater may be affected by flow accelerated corrosion. On May 14, 1999, Point Beach Nuclear Plant (PBNP) with operating at full power experienced a steam leak from rupture of shell side of number 4B feedwater heater. Also, d domestic nuclear power plant experienced a severe wall thinning of shell side of number 5A and 5B feedwater heaters. This paper describes the fluid mixing analysis study using PHOENICS code in order to get at the root of the shell wall thinning of the feedwater heaters. The sections included in the fluid mixing analysis model are around the number 5h feedwater heater shell including the extracting pipeline. To identify the relation between the local velocities and wall thinning. the local velocities according to the analysis results were compared with the distribution of the shell wall thickness by ultrasonic test.

초음파 진동자에 의해 미립화된 케로신 분무연소의 OH 라디칼과 CH 라디칼의 자발광 특성을 고찰하기 위한 실험이 수행되었다. ICCD 카메라를 이용하여 분무화염의 자발광 강도를 측정하였으며, 연소 시 소모된 연료량은 정밀유량측정법으로 계측하였다. 그 결과, 연료소모율은 수송기체인 공기 공급유량에 선형적으로 증가하였으며, 분무연소의 특징인 전형적인 그룹 연소가 관찰되었다. OH 라디칼과 CH 라디칼을 분석한 결과, 분사방향으로의 유량 증가에 따라 라디칼 방사강도의 최댓값은 감소하고 그 위치는 후류로 이동하여 반응대의 폭은 증가하였다.
