The In-Pile Section(IPS) is located inside the reactor pool. It is divided into 3-parts; the in-pool pipes, the IVA(IPS Vessel Assembly) and the support structures. The test fuel is loaded inside a double wall, inner pressure vessel and outer pressure vessel, to keep the functionality of the reactor coolant pressure boundary. The IVA is manufactured by local company and the functional test and verification were done through pressure drop, vibration, hydraulic and leakage tests. A IVA has been manufactured by local technique and have finally tested under high temperature and high pressure. The IVA and piping did not experience leakage, as we have checked the piping, flanges, assembly parts. We have obtained good data during the three cycle test which includes a pressure test, pressure and temperature cycling, and constant temperature.

In-Pool By-Pass Pipe is a structure which connects the 2 In-Pool Pipes instead of In-Pile Test Section(IPS). It is designed to accommodate the 17.5 MPa and 80 ℃ under the consideration of the FTL pre-operation conditions but the need for high temperature, over 200 ℃, during FTL pre-operation make the additional assessment to be performed. For this study 2 models are used. One is an In-Pool By-Pass Pipe model which affected by HANARO water's elevation, another is an In-Pool By-Pass Pipe Nozzle which has 2 boundary conditions; water and air. After the heat transfer analysis linear stress analysis was performed to achieve Tresca stress. In the region of high stress model's detailed behavior is observed by ASME SectionⅢ NB code. Consequentially it concluded that the model of In-Pool By-Pass Pipe Structure is in reasonable agreement with those code.

This study was carried out to design and develope conveyer combustion type coal heater in the green house. Different from existing coal heater, the conveyer combustion type coal heater was designed for circulating coal from supplying to exhausting. The size of traveling grate and velocity reduction gear ratio for driving traveling grate were designed to product coal heater had 200,000kcal/hr heating capacity. The result is that the coal heater of 200,000kcal/hr heating capacity was determined by the width of grate in between 600 to 800㎜ when the horizontal length of conveying combustion area was 1,500㎜. And the first and second reduction ratio of 1:100 and 1:70 was more effective at 1,350rpm, respectively, in the coal heater of 200,000kcal/hr heating capacity.

An insulator is widely used for automobile parts to protect the thermal damage and noise from the engine. In this paper, the heat shield performance of insulator in the automobile parts has been investigated experimentally. Also, the experimental results are compared with the numerical analysis. It was tested for the effects of heating temperature and insulator material on heat shield performance. As a results, in the range of heating temperature 95℃∼175℃, the heat shield performance is enhanced with increasing heating temperature. Furthermore, glass wool and Formed mat have similar heat shield performance. So, it is very effective to use the glass wool as insulator in the range of 95℃∼175.

Generally, the characteristics of battery cover has been effected on the expected life span and durability of battery. In this study, the heat shield performance of battery cover was investigated experimentally. Also, the cooling effect of battery for each conditions(material and structral conditions of battery cover) was investigated. As the results, the heat shield performance for heating case is excellent in the case of thickness increasing of battery cover. The characteristics for heating case is more effected on the thermal damage than that of cooling case.
