Measurement of the physical properties of high-temperature molten salts is important for the efficient design and operation of molten salt reactors (MSR) in which the reactor coolant and nuclear fuel are in a homogeneous liquid state. Although some crucial physical properties such as viscosity, thermal conductivity, density, etc., have been drawing much attention, relative data, especially for molten chloride salts, are scarce. Thus, it is urgent to prepare the viscosity data as one of the key transport properties in thermal hydraulics analysis. However, it is not an easy task to measure the molten salt viscosity with high accuracy due to end effect, a small gap between the chamber and spindle, thermal expansion of the chamber and spindle at high temperatures in a rotational viscometer. Additionally, molten salt temperatures inside furnace are not uniform due to the large temperature gradient inside the chamber, and therefore the assumption of laminar condition can be violated. In this study, geometric factors, which can be a major interference in the torque measurement, were considered for the accurate determination of the viscosity. We established a high-temperature molten salt viscosity measurement system with Brookfield rotational viscometer. KNO3 molten salt was used as a model substance at a temperature range of 650–773 K. In-house designed spindles and chambers were made of corrosion-resistant alumina. Thermal expansion has a significant influence on the size and shape of the chamber and spindle. The effect of thermal expansion on the conventional correction method was examined with temperature variation and distribution. Gap size variation was also investigated in order to improve the accuracy.

본 연구에서는 일반적으로 O/W 에멀젼에 비해 안정화가 어려운 W/O 에멀젼, 특히 유동성이 높은 저점도 W/O 에멀젼의 안정성 증진을 위하여 유화제, 전해질, 유화 안정화제, 겔화제 등을 적용한 다양한 실험을 수행하여 보았다. 그 결과 이번 실험에서는 Polyglyceryl-4 diisostearate/ polyhydroxystearate/sebacate를 주 유화제로 하면서 PEG-30 dipolyhydroxystearate와 Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 dimethicone을 보조 유화제로 하는 유화 체계에, 전해질로 Sodium chloride를 0.5 %, 유화 안정화제로 Distearyldimonium chloride를 1 %, 유상 겔화제로 Glyceryl behenate/eicosadioate를 0.5 % 적용한 유화 입자도 작고 조밀하며 점도도 2,000 cps 이하로 일정하게 유지되는 안정한 저점도 W/O 에멀젼을 제조할 수가 있었다. 또한 상기와 같은 에멀젼 베이스에 무기 자외선 차단성분의 적용 실험을 통하여 안정성이 우수한 저점도 플루이드형 자외선 차단제품의 개발 가능성도 긍정적으로 검토 할 수가 있었다.

PURPOSES: Surface treatment is a favorable method in the pavement preventive maintenance. This study (Part Ⅰ) aimed to develop the low viscosity filling material for waterproof characteristics and high penetrable and weather resistance, and a series of companion study (Part Ⅱ) presents the coating characteristics and performance analysis using field and lab tests. METHODS : Hydrophobic characteristics of the advanced surface treatment material are observed and measured the filling depth and the permeability for sand and asphalt pavement specimen using the water absorption test and permeability test, X-RAY CT test. Color difference for the weather resistance using ultraviolet ray accelerated weathering test is compared with asphalt pavement specimens. RESULTS : The developed material shows the decreased water absorption and increased impermeable effect because of the hydrophobic characteristics. It is found that the filling depth is about 6mm and weather resistance is better than asphalt pavement specimen. CONCLUSIONS: The advanced hydrophobic - low viscosity filling treatment material is developed in this study (Part Ⅰ) to improve the waterproof characteristics and high filling capacity and weather resistance for the pavement preventive maintenance.

PURPOSES : Surface treatment material for pavement preventive maintenance should be inspected field applicability. This study(Part Ⅱ) aimed to checkup coating characteristics and performance analysis using lab and field tests. The hydrophobic - low viscosity filling material for pavement preventive maintenance is presented in Part Ⅰ, which is a series of companion study. METHODS: Relative comparison between general asphalt mixtures and surface treatment asphalt mixtures are analyzed and measured for the field application such as indirect tensile strength ratio(TSR), abrasion resistance, crack propagation resistance, temperature resistance, coating thickness, permeability resistance and skid resistance in terms of british pendulum number(BPN). RESULTS: It is found that TSR, crack propagation resistance and permeability resistance is increased as against uncoated asphalt specimen. Abrasion resistance and temperature resistance is secured from the initial coating thickness point of view, which is about 0.2~0.3mm. Skid resistance on the surface treatment pavement is satisfied with the BPN criteria of national highway because of exposed aggregate and crack sill induced pavement deterioration and damage cracks. CONCLUSIONS : The hydrophobic - low viscosity surface treatment material for pavement preventive maintenance is validated on field applicability evaluation based on quantitative analysis of coating thickness and performance analysis using lab and field tests.

The mechanical properties were evaluated to examine the optimum adding amount of AC and UT viscosity agent by mixing two viscosity agent according to the adding ratio. When the ratio of AC and UT viscosity agent was 5:5, It was most suited for high-fluidity concrete with low binders by increasing workability and effect of reducing viscosity.

본 연구에서는 정제수/Span 80-Nikkol BL 25/오일계의 water-in-oil (W/O) 나노에멀젼을 높은 온 도에서 PIC 유화로 제조하였다. 이 방법은 본 시스템에서 미세하게 분산된 저점도의 W/O 나노에멀젼의 형성을 가능케 하였다. 그러나 실온에서 PIC 방법으로 제조된 에멀젼은 나노에멀젼보다는 마크로에멀젼이 제조되었다. 유화온도가 30 ℃에서 80 ℃로 증가하면 온도에 따른 계면장력의 큰 변화의 결과로 입자 크기는 2 μ m에서 100 nm 정도로 감소하였다. 80 ℃에서 제조된 나노에멀젼의 입자 크기는 50 ∼ 200 nm 범위에 있었고 내상의 분율 은 15 wt%까지 가능하였다. 또한 혼합 유화제의 최적 HLB는 7.0 부근에서 가장 안정한 나노에멀젼이 형성되었 다. 제조된 나노에멀젼은 1개월 이상 실온에서 안정하였다. 본 연구 결과는 저점도의 W/O 나노에멀젼의 형성 최적화에 중요한 정보를 제공할 수 있다. 이 결과는 W/O 나노에멀젼의 저점도로 인한 부드러운 사용감 등으로 화장품 제형으로 유용하게 이용될 것으로 생각된다.
