This paper describes a passive safety injection system with free piston Stirling pump working withabundant decay heat in the nuclear reactor during the hypothetical accident. The water column in the tube assembly connected from the hot chamber to the cold chamber in the pump oscillates periodically due to thermal volume changes of non-condensable gas in each chamber. The oscillating pressure in the water column is converted into the pumping power with a suction-and-bleed type valve assembly. In this paper a dynamic model describing the frequency of oscillation and pumping pressure is developed. It was found that the pumping pressure is a function of the temperature difference between the chambers. Also, the frequency oscillation depends on the length of the tube with water column.

해수에서 퇴적층으로 향하는 우라늄 제거 과정과 플럭스를 연구하기 위해 1996년 10월 16일과 1997년 8월 25일에 천수만 입구지역에서 공극수와 해저상자(benthic chamber, BC) 내부시료를 채취하였다. 공극수로부터 추정된 우라늄 플럭스는 해수~퇴적물 경계면에서 0.112~0.566 mg/$m^2yr$ 이었으며, 해수에서 퇴적물로 제거되는 양상을 보였다. 황해 전체로는 $4.3{\sim}21.5{\times}10^7$ g/yr의 우라늄이 제거되며 이는 전지구적 제거 플럭스의 0.4~2.2%에 달하는 값이다. 같은 방법으로 추정된 영양영 플럭스는 암모니아성 질소 135.6 mmol/$m^2yr$, 질산성 질소 228.2 mmol/$m^2yr$, 인산염 36.8 mmol/$m^2yr$, 그리고 규산염 23.9 mmol/$m^2yr$로 공극수에서 저층 해수로 용출되고 있다. 공극수중 질산성 질소와 퇴적물 망간의 수직 분포도로부터 산화환원 경계층이 퇴적물 표충하 3~5 cm 깊이에 존재함을 추정할 수 있었다. BC를 이용한 인산염 플럭스는 28.5 mmol/$m^2yr$로서 공극수를 통한 추정값과 비슷하였다. 반면에 BC를 이용한 우라늄과 규산염 플럭스 추정치는 공극수에 의한 값보다 두 자릿수 정도로 큰 값을 나타내었다. 공극수내 농도 분포로부터 추정된 우라늄과 영양염의 플럭스 추정치가 BC를 통한 추정치보다 더욱 신뢰도가 높다고 판단된다.

The study aimed to develop a laser-based distance meter (LDM) to improve water surface identification for clinical MeV electron beam dosimetry, as inaccurate water surface determination can lead to imprecise positioning of ionization chambers (ICs). The LDM consisted of a laser ranging sensor, a signal processing microcontroller, and a tablet PC for data acquisition. I₅₀ (the water depth at which ionization current drops to 50 % of its maximum) measurements of electron beams were performed using six different types of ICs and compared to other water surface identification methods. The LDM demonstrated reproducible I₅₀ measurements with a level of 0.01 cm for all six ICs. The uncertainty of water depth was evaluated at 0.008 cm with the LDM. The LDM also exposed discrepancies between I₅₀ measurements using different ICs, which was partially reduced by applying an optimum shift of IC's point of measurement (POM) or effective point of measurement (EPOM). However, residual discrepancies due to the energy dependency of the cylindrical chamber's EPOM caused remained. The LDM offers straightforward and efficient means for precision water surface identification, minimizing reliance on individual operator skills.

우리나라의 대형 생활폐기물소각시설의 건설시기를 보면 상당수가 1980년대 후반인 것을 알 수 있다. 대부분의 시설들은 이 시기에 설계되었으며 그 후에 건설된 소각로 역시 변경이나 조정 없이 시설해온 것으로 조사되고 있다. 그러나 소각로에 반입되는 폐기물의 성상은 정부의 폐기물수거 정책에 의해 급격히 변화하고 있다. 이는 생활폐기물의 발열량변화를 조사해 봄으로도 쉽게 알 수 있다. 그 결과 많은 소각시설에서 과열에 의해 내화물과 화격자가 손상되고 있다. 한편 보일러 전열면에 클링커가 생성되어 열전달에 방해를 줌으로 이용열량이 줄어들 뿐만 아니라 연소실의 온도가 상승되는 등 원하지 않는 현상이 연속되고 있다. 이를 개선하기 위해 폐기물저장고에 물을 뿌리거나, 분리수거해 온 음식물류 폐기물을 다시금 혼합하여 혼소하거나 연소실에 물을 분사하는 방법을 동원하고 있다. 이러한 방법은 근본적인 해결책이 되지 않으며, 설계부터 다시 하여 새로 시설하는 것 또한 비용적인 측면에서 효과적이지 못하다. 따라서 본 연구를 통해 위와 같은 문제를 원천적으로 해결 하기위한 방법을 도출해 보았다.

An Ozone reaction model combined with CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) technique was developed in this research, in the simulation of ozonation, hydrodynamic behavior as well as reaction model is important because ozone is supplied to treated water as gas ozone. In order to evaluate hydrodynamic behavior in an ozone contactor, CFD technique was applied. CFD technique elucidated hydrodynamic behavior in the selected ozone contactor, which consisted of three main chambers. Three back-mixing zones were found in the contactor. The higher velocities of water were observed in the second and third compartments than that in the first compartment. The flow of the opposite direction to the main flow was observed near the water surface. Based on the results of CFD simulation, the ozone contactor was divided into small compartments. Mass balance equations were established were established in each compartment with reaction terms. This reaction model was intended to predict dissolved ozone concentration, especially. We concluded that the model could predict favorably the mass balance of ozone, namely absorption efficiency of gaseous ozone, dissolved ozone concentration and ozone consumption. After establishing the model, we discussed the effect of concentration of gaseous ozone at inlet, temperature and organic compounds on dissolved ozone concentration.

Swirling flows are related to the spiral motion in the tangential direction in addition to the axial and radial direction using several swirl generators. These type of flows are used in combustion chambers to improve flame stability, heat exchanger to enhance heat transfer coefficients, agricultural spraying machines and some vertical pipes to move slurries or transport of materials. However, only a few studies three dimensional velocity profiles in a vertical pipe have been reported. In this present paper, 3 dimension particle image velocimetry(PIV) technique was employed to measure the velocity profiles in water along a vertical circular pipe with Reynolds number from 6000 to 13,000. A tangential inlet condition was used as the swirl generator to produce the required flow. The velocities were measured with swirling flow in the water along the test section using the PIV technique.

Experiment and numerical investigation are performed on swirling water flow in a vertical circular tube. This kind of flow is used in heat exchangers, combustion chambers, thermal power plants, and other mechanical equipment to move slurries or to convey materials. However, limited information on swirling flow in vertical circular tubes is available. In the current paper, the three-dimensional particle image velocimetry(PIV) technique is employed to compare the measured velocity profiles of water along the vertical circular tube with those of non-swirl flow. In addition, computational fluid dynamics(CFD) code was applied to calculation of the flow velocities with swirl.

5-Aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide (AICAR), a structural analog of adenosine monophosphate (AMP), promotes oxidative remodeling in muscle cells. AICAR activates AMP-dependent protein kinase (AMPK), thus increasing lipid metabolism, respiration, and mitochondrial counts. This process is called oxidative remodeling, which enhances the physical endurance of mice. To test this drug on an invertebrate that is genetically similar to humans, we used the small water crustacean Daphnia magna, which is sensitive to changes in water conditions. We tested the effects of pH on the efficacy of AICAR using two methods. One method measured oxygen consumption of Daphnia in oxygen chambers. The other method determined lipid levels of Daphnia through fluorescent tagging of lipids. The results showed that when exposed to AICAR at pH 6.58, D. magna consumed more oxygen and had lower overall levels of lipids, which is consistent with the expected effects of AICAR, such as increased respiration and lipid metabolism.

A new type of garlic peeling chamber has been developed which separates and peels garlic cloves using high-Pressure water Jets. The cylindrically-shaped chamber was fabricated with stainless steel plate and has a number of drilled holes, which function as solid-stream spray nozzles, on its interior wall. The chamber was divided into upper and lower section so that water can be applied at different pressures from each section. Three chambers of similar design were tested to evaluate their performances according to various pressure levels. The strongest correlation was observed between the pressure difference(lower-upper) and the proportion of unseparated and completely-peeled garlic cloves. Hanji-type garlic required higher or pressure difference to separate cloves from garlic bulbs than nanji-type garlic. On the other hand, protective leaves(skin) from the cloves were peeled more easily in case of hanji-type garlic. As a result of three consecutive peeling operations, the proportion of completely-peeled garlic cloves changed in the order of 80.1, 82.6, 84.1% in case of hanji-type, and 19.6, 29.1, 40.2% in case of nanji-type garlic.

팬톰내에 삽입되는 전리함은 전자 플루언스의 교란을 최소화하는 기하학적 구조를 갖는 것이 바람직한데 평행평판형 전리함은 다른 어떤 전리함보다도 이러한 조건을 잘 만족시킨다. 이러한 이유로 IAEA 표준측정법에서는 표면 평균 에너지가 10 MeV 이하인 전자선 측정시 평행평판형 전리함의 사용을 권고하고 있으나 일반적으로 편의상 원통형 전리함을 많이 사용하고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 네 가지 다른 표준 측정법 즉 1)원통형 전리함을 사용한 IAEA 표준 측정법 2)원통형 전리함을 사용한 TG-21 표준 측정법 3)평행평판형 전리함을 사용한 Markus 측정법 4)평행평판형 전리함을 원통형 전리함에 대하여 교정한 TG 39 측정법을 사용하여 서로 다른 측정법과 전리함의 차이에 의한 선량 값의 변화를 알아보고자 한다. Siemens KD-2 선형가속기에서 발생하는 고에너지 전자선(6,9,12,15,18 MeV)을 이용하여 3차원 전산화 물팬톰과 0.125 cc 전리함을 사용하여 각 에너지별로 l0$\times$10 $cm^2$ cone size의 심부선량백분율을 구하였다. 고체 물팬톰내에서 Farmer type 0.6cc 원통형 전리함을 사용하여 IAEA 표준 측정법과 TG-21 표준 측정법에 의해서 각 에너지별로 흡수선량을 측정하였다. 평행평판형 전리함(Markus Chamber)을 사용하여 Markus 측정법에 의해서 각 에너지별로 흡수선량을 측정하였다. 전자선 에너지 18 MeV를 사용하여 원통형 전리함에 대한 평행평판형 전리함의 교정계수를 얻고 TG 39 측정법에 의해서 각 에너지별로 흡수선량을 측정하였다. Cone size 는 l0$\times$10 $cm^2$ 이었고 측정점의 깊이는 d$_{max}$ 이었다. IAEA 표준 측정법과 TG 21 표준 측정법은 18 MeV 에 대하여 0.9 % 의 차이가 나타났고 그 외의 에너지 영역에서 0.7% 이내로 비교적 잘 일치하였다. Markus 측정법과 TG 39 측정법은 18 MeV 와 6 MeV 에 대하여 각각 $\pm$0.8 % 의 차이가 나타났고 그 외의 에너지 영역에서 0.5 % 이내로 잘 일치하였다. 원통형 전리함과 평행평판형 전리함을 이용한 측정법간의 차이는 18 MeV 에서 1.6 % 까지 나타나므로 주의를 요하며 TG 39 측정법에서 제시한 다른 측정방법을 사용하여 측정을 하여 교정계수를 얻을 필요가 있을 것으로 생각된다.다.
