In this study, we propose a flow velocity evaluation scheme based on pressure measurement in pressurized pipeline systems. Conservation of mass and momentum equations can be decomposed into mean and perturbation of pressure head and flowrate, which provide the pressure head and flowrate relationship between upstream and donwstream point in pressurized pipeline system. The inverse impedance formulations were derived to address measured pressure at downstream to evaluation of flow velocity or pressure at any point of system. The convolution of response function to pressure head in downstream valve provides the flow velocity response in any point of the simple pipeline system. Simulation comparison between traditional method of characteristics and the proposed method provide good agreements between two distinct approaches.

Large-area graphene of the order of centimeters was deposited on copper substrates by low-pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) using hexane as the carbon source. The effect of temperature and the carrier gas flowrates on the quality and uniformity of the as-deposited graphene was investigated using the Raman analysis. The film deposited at 870 °C with a total carrier gas flowrate of 50 sccm is predominantly single-layer with very low defects according to the Raman spectra. The 2D/G peak intensity ratios obtained from the Raman spectra of samples from three different locations of graphene deposited on a whole copper catalyst was used to calculate the large-area uniformity. Based on the results, a very high uniformity of 89.6% was calculated for the graphene deposited at 870 °C. The uniformity was observed to decrease with increasing temperature. Similar to the thickness uniformity, the electrical conductivity values obtained as a result of I–V measurements and water contact angle measurements were found to be close to each other for the graphene deposited under the same deposition conditions.

The dismantling of the reactor pressure vessel has been carried out at a number of commercial nuclear power plants, including the Zion nuclear power plant in the United States and the Stade nuclear power plant in Germany. The dismantling method for the reactor pressure vessel is either in the air or in the water, depending on the utility. In general, a mechanical cutting method is used when dismantling the reactor pressure vessel in the water. And when dismantling a nuclear reactor pressure vessel in the air, the thermal cutting method is applied. However, there is no case of dismantling commercial nuclear reactor pressure vessel by applying a mechanical method in the air. In this study, when a nuclear reactor pressure vessel is dismantled by applying a mechanical method in the air, the applicability was evaluated by testing it using a demonstration mockup of Kori Unit 1. For the evaluation, the mockup was made in the actual size of Kori Unit 1. Mechanical cutting devices used the band saw and the circular saw. In the test, the cutting of the reactor pressure vessel was performed remotely by reflecting the working conditions of the decommissioning site. The band saw cutting method was applied to vertical cutting, and the circular saw cutting method was applied to horizontal cutting. In order to dismantle one cut-off piece, mockup test was performed according to a series of dismantling processes, it consists of preparatory work, vertical cutting process, horizontal cutting process, packaging process and finishing work. The cutting speed of the band saw is 3–10 mm·min−1, and the cutting speed of the circular saw is 2–4 mm·min−1. As a result of the test, when the mechanical cutting method was applied, as is known, the kerf width was smaller than when the thermal cutting method was applied. The cut surface showed a clean state without drag lines generated during thermal cutting. However, the working time was much slower than when the thermal cutting method was applied.

Cutting reactor pressure vessels (RPV) into acceptable sizes for waste disposal is a key process in dismantling nuclear power plants. In the case of Kori-1, a remote oxyfuel cutting method has been developed by Doosan Heavy Industry & Construction to dismantle RPVs. Cutting radioactive material, such as RPV, generates a large number of fine and ultrafine particles incorporating radioactive isotopes. To minimize radiological exposure of dismantling workers and workplace surface contamination, understanding the characteristics of radioactive aerosols from the cutting process is crucial. However, there is a paucity of knowledge of the by-products of the cutting process. To overcome the limitations, a mock-up RPV cutting experiment was designed and established to investigate the characteristics of fine and ultrafine particles from the remote cutting process of the RPV at the Nuclear Decommissioning Center of Doosan Heavy Industry & Construction. The aerosol measurement system was composed of a cutting system, purification system, sampling system, and measurement device. The cutting system has a shielding tent and oxyfuel cutting torch and remote cutting robot arm. It was designed to prevent fine particle leakage. The shielding tent acts as a cutting chamber and is connected to the purification system. The purification system operates a pressure difference by generating an airflow which delivers aerosols from the cutting system to the purification system. The sampling system was installed at the center of the pipe which connects the shielding tent and purification system and was carefully designed to achieve isokinetic sampling for unbiased sampling. Sampled aerosols were delivered to the measurement device. A high-resolution electrical low-pressure impactor (HR-ELPI+, Dekati) is used to measure the size distribution of inhalable aerosols (Aerodynamic diameter: 6 nm to 10 μm) and to collect size classified aerosols. In this work, the mock-up reactor vessel was cut 3 times to measure the number distribution of fine and ultrafine particles and mass distribution of iron, chromium, nickel, and manganese. The number distribution of aerosols showed the bi-modal distribution; two peaks were positioned at 0.01−0.02 μm and 0.04–0.07 μm respectively. The mass distribution of metal elements showed bi-modal and trimodal distribution. Such results could be criteria for filter selection to be used in the filtration system for the cutting process and fundamental data for internal dose assessment for accidents. Future work includes the investigations relationships between the characteristics of the generated aerosols and physicochemical properties of metal elements.

In domestic nuclear power plants, drums of concentrated radioactive waste solidified with paraffin that do not meet radioactive waste disposal standards are stored temporarily. In this paper, the design of a machine that separates these paraffin drums into paraffin and concentrated waste using heating vaporization and pressure difference is described. The separation process is as follows. First, the paraffin solid is indirectly heated by heating the outside of the drum. The paraffin solid is partially melted to increase the fluidity and is easily detached from the drum. The detached solid is transferred to the melting tank, and further heated in the melting tank. When the temperature is sufficiently high, paraffin is melted and becomes a mixture of liquid paraffin and concentrated waste homogeneously. The mixed solution is transferred to a paraffin recovery vessel and further heated. The vaporization point of paraffin is 370°C under atmospheric pressure, and becomes lower depending on the pressure decreasing in the vessel. The vaporization point of the paraffin is a relatively low value compared to the radioactive elements in the concentrated waste, and therefore only paraffin would be vaporized. A paraffin transfer pipe is installed on the upper part of the paraffin recovery vessel, and is connected to another tank called the paraffin capture vessel. The pressure of the paraffin capture vessel is reduced (i.e. vacuum condition), only gaseous paraffin is transferred to the paraffin capture vessel by the pressure difference. When the paraffin capture vessel is cooled below the vaporization point of the paraffin, the paraffin is liquefied or solidified, and only the paraffin is recovered. Based on the above process, the solidified paraffin could be separated into pure paraffin and concentrated waste. However, if a radioactive element with a lower vaporization point than paraffin exists in the concentrated waste, it may be mixed with paraffin and separated together. Therefore, it is necessary to measure the radioactivity or radiation dose rate for the separated paraffin, and to verify that it is sufficiently low. If necessary, additional separation process may be considered for removing radioisotopes from the paraffin.

Recently, an unprecedented emerging infectious disease has rapidly spread, causing a global shortage of wards. Although various temporary beds have appeared, the supply of wards specializing in infectious diseases is required. Negative pressure isolation wards should maintain their function even after an earthquake. However, the current seismic design standards do not guarantee the negative pressure isolation wards’ operational (OP) performance level. For this reason, some are not included in the design target even though they are non-structural elements that require seismic design. Also, the details of non-structural elements are usually determined during the construction phase. It is often necessary to complete the stability review and reinforcement design for non-structural elements within a short period. Against this background, enhanced performance objectives were set to guarantee the OP non-structural performance level, and a computerized tool was developed to quickly perform the seismic design of non-structural elements in the negative pressure isolation wards. This study created a spreadsheet-based computer tool that reflects the components, installation spacing, and design procedures of non-structural elements. Seismic performance review and design of the example non-structural elements were conducted using the computerized tool. The strength of some components was not sufficient, and it was reinforced. As a result, the time and effort required for strength evaluation, displacement evaluation, and reinforcement design were reduced through computerized tools.

Valves are one of the indispensable components in modern industry. Filling and de-pressure connectors in rocket valves used for space launch vehicles are very important parts for smooth fluid supply. For this reason, an optimized design that can improve efficiency, miniaturization, weight reduction, and safety of the valve at the same time is required. In this work, flow analysis and structural analysis were performed through 3D modeling using computational numerical analysis for open type filling and de-pressure valves. As results, the flow velocity and pressure distribution of the fluid were analyzed through the flow analysis of valve, and stress distribution was conducted in structural analysis. Through this study, it is consequently expected to provide valves of various specifications by performing production and performance test evaluation of development prototypes.

Thick-walled pressure vessel has been autofrettaged in order to improve the fatigue life of the pressure vessel. The compressive tangential residual stress near the bore of the pressure vessel due the autofrettage process is benefical to the fatigue crack initiation and propagation of the pressure vessel. However, a reverse yielding due to the Bauschinger effect during the unloading process in autofrettage causes the reduction of the compressive residual stress near the bore. In order to evaluate the fatigue crack propagation life of the autofrettaged thick-walled pressure vessel, the Bauschinger effects were considered. Stress intensity factors of the crack at the inside surface of the pressure vessel due to operating pressure loading of 707 MPa and autofrettage loading with different levels of overstrain were calculated by using finite element methods, and used for evaluating fatigue crack propagation lives. Fatigue lives of the pressure vessel with the Bauschinger effects resulted in 45% to 67% reductions in fatigue life compared to those of the pressure vessel with ideal residual stress distributions depending on the autofrettage level.

목적 : 본 연구는 척수손상 환자들에게 압력 이미지 센서를 활용한 휠체어 방석의 압력분포 조정이 척수손 상 환자들의 주요 합병증인 욕창의 예방에 있어서 실제로 얼마나 영향을 미치는지를 알아보기 위한 후 향적 연구이다. 연구방법 : 본 연구는, 발병 기간이 1년 미만인 척수손상 환자들 132명을 대상으로 진행한 연구이다. 실험 군은 휠체어 방석 압력분포 조정 당시 본인 소유의 휠체어 방석으로 진행하여 본인에게 맞추어 압력 치 가 조정된 휠체어 방석을 계속하여 사용할 수 있는 66명의 환자로 분류하였고, 대조군은 다양한 이유로 조정된 휠체어 방석을 지속하여 사용할 수 없는 66명의 환자로 분류하였다. 모든 연구대상자는 휠체어 방석 압력분포 조정 이후 1년과 2년 뒤에 한 차례씩의 욕창 발생과 시기에 대한 조사를 진행하였으며 이 조사결과에 따른 두 군 간의 욕창 발생률과 발생 시기를 비교 분석하여 휠체어 방석의 압력분포 조 정평가가 척수손상 환자들의 욕창 예방에 미치는지 영향을 확인하였다. 자료의 모든 통계학적 유의수준 은 p < .05로 정하였다. 결과 : 실험군과 대조군 두 군 간에 욕창이 발생 된 확률의 차이 결과는 모두 유의하지는 않은 것으로 나타 났으나(p > .05), 욕창의 발생 시기에 대한 두 군 간의 비교 결과는 유의한 차이를 보여주었다(p < .05) 결론 : 한 번의 휠체어 방석의 압력분포 조정만으로는 욕창 예방효과의 지속적인 유지가 어려웠다. 하지만 시기에 맞는 유지 관리를 지속할 수 있다면 향후 척수손상 환자들의 욕창 예방 관리에 매우 좋은 방안 으로 제시될 수 있을 것이다.

강-콘크리트 편개형 방폭문은 외피 구조로서의 강박스 내에 콘크리트 슬래브가 채워진 구조로서 힌지 및 렛치와 같은 지지부재에 의해 벽체에 고정되어 설치된다. 폭압이 작용하는 방향과 같은 정방향으로의 처짐 거동에 대해서는 많은 연구가 되어 왔으나, 부방향 처짐 거동에 대한 연구는 상대적으로 미흡한 수준이다. 본 연구에서는 폭압을 받는 편개형 방폭문의 부방향 처짐 단계에서 발생하는 반발 거동(rebound behavior)에 대해 유한요소해석으로 변수 분석을 하였다. 분석결과에 따르면 방폭문의 소성변형 내지는 파괴 정도, 반발작용 전후의 운동량 및 운동에너지 변화가 반발거동에 영향을 미치는 주요 요소로 분석되었다. 또한, 방폭문의 거동 특성이 준정 적 영역에 속하는 경우에 비해 충격영역에 속하는 경우에서 더 큰 반발력이 발생하는 것으로 나타났는데, 이와 같은 결과는 변형에너 지 보다 운동에너지가 상대적으로 더 크게 증가하는 충격영역에서의 거동 특성이 원인인 것으로 사료된다. 반발작용의 결과로 인해 지지부재에 과도한 변형이 발생할 수 있으므로 성능분석 및 설계 과정에서 이에 대한 고려가 필요하다. 또한, 부압이 미치는 영향을 검 토한 결과에 따르면 강-콘크리트 방폭문의 경우에서도 반발에 의한 영향 및 부압 모두가 방폭문의 부방향 처짐에 기여할 때 반발력이 상대적으로 더 크게 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 중첩 효과의 발생조건은 구조체 특성 및 폭발조건 등에 따라 다를 수 있으므로 이에 대해서는 더 많은 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

By applying super-high pressure (150-250 MPa) to a sealed pressure vessel, it is possible to make oyster shucking machine that automatically opens two-sheet shellfish or oysters. Possibility of developing a shucking machine was confirmed by identifying the working pressure for meat of oysters produced in the southern coast and conducting sensory evaluation of meat oysters. As a result of confirming the shucked oysters under super-high pressure of 150 MPa in the pressure vessel, the number of type A with separated shells and well-separated meat was 22 and type B with both shells and internal meat and shells not separated. For the oysters that were treated at 175 MPa, there were 58 type As with shell separated and meat well separated and 42 type Bs without oyster shells and insides. When looking at the oysters shucked at 200 MPa in the pressure vessel, the number of type A was 86 and type B was 14 accounting for 86% of oysters with good marketability. As a result of shucking oysters by applying 250 MPa, 96% type A oysters and 4% type B oysters were obtained from the total specimen. The total specimen oyster weight used in the conducted experiment was 6 kg, the average oyster shell weight was 3.99 kg and the average oyster meat weight was 1.25 kg. Therefore, the fatness of oyster meat, which measures the added value of oysters, is 20.8%. Sensory evaluation was conducted on thinned oysters by hand and type A oysters shelled by machine with an operating pressure of 200 MPa. The hand-worked oyster sample scored 4.7 points only in salty taste, and scored 5.0 or higher in color, shape, smell, fishy taste, texture and preference.
