최근들어 저온플라즈마를 이용한 생물학적 응용분야가 각광을 받고 있다. 특히 전기전도도를 가진 전해질 내에서 형성된 액상 플라즈마는 열손상없이 암, 세균 및 비정상 장기조직의 제거가 가능하다는 점에서 기존 시술들이 가지는 문제를 해결할 수 있다. 허리통증을 유발하는 탈출 수핵을 대용량으로 제거하기위한 플라즈마발생 전극에 관한 연구가 수행되었다. 수핵 분해량을 늘리기 위해서는 플라즈마를 통하여 다량의 수산화기 라디컬을 형성, 수핵표면에 조사해야 한다. 이를 위하여 6개의 텅스텐 전극표면에서 기포를 발생시켜 플라즈마 발생면적을 넓힐 수 있었다. 텅스텐 전극들은 캡톤코딩과 세라믹 스페이서를 통하여 분리되었고, 전극의 후방에는 SUS 재질의 환형 접지전극을 배치하여 6개의 텅스텐 전극표면에서 모두 기포가 발생할 수 있도록 하였다. 시술적용시 플라즈마 및 전극이 가지는 제한 조건은 단백질 변성을 막기위한 섭씨 45도 이하의 온도 상승과 조직에 대한 기계적인 손상 방지를 위한 2.5 mm 이하의 전체 전극 굵기이다. 이를 만족하는 가운데 수산화기 라디컬 형성을 증대할 수 있는 전극의 구조를 결정하기 위하여 1-D 전기 열유체 모델 도입하였다. 모델에서 도출된 기포의 두께를 바탕으로 다중전극간의 거리 조절을 통하여 플라즈마 방전구조를 전극 - 전극 (기포두께${\times}2$ > 전극간 거리)과 전극 - 기포표면 (기포두께${\times}2$ < 전극간 거리)으로 통제하였다. 형성된 플라즈마의 소모전력, 전자 밀도및 수산화기 라디컬의 회전온도를 분석하기 위하여 0.9% 염화나트륨 수용액, 1.6 S/m, 전해질에서 플라즈마 형성를 형성하고 전기신호 및 광학신호를 관측하였다. 전극에 인가된 전압은 340 VRMS이며 운전주파수는 380 kHz이다. 실험 결과, 전극 - 기포표면 방전구조는 전극 -전극 방전구조에 비하여 전해질의 저항역할로 인하여 방전전류가 3.4 Ipp에서 1.6 Ipp로 감소하였으나, 기포표면에서의 물분자의 분해로 인하여 수산화기 라디컬에서의 발광세기는 약 4배 증가하였다. 또한 수산화기의 회전온도 분포상에서도 전극 - 기포표면 방전은 주변 물분자의 열교환으로 인하여 전극 -전극간 방전의 1500K 에 비하여 낮은 400K를 보였다. 이는 전극-기포표면 방전구조의 전극이 낮은 온도의 수산화기를 다량으로 형성할 수 있음을 시사하며, 카데바를 이용한 실험에서 220초에 걸쳐 약 87%의 수핵을 기계적 손상 및 단백질 변형없이 효과적으로 제거함을 확인하였다.

The effects of operating temperature and electrode gap distance on electricity generation were investigated in two-chamber type MFCs. Voltages across the external resistor $(100\;{\Omega})$ were enhanced approximately 1.4 times by the increase of operating temperature from $30^{\circ}C$ to $34^{\circ}C$. The open circuit voltages (OCVs) were increased by the increase of temperature and the maximum power of MFC was obtained at higher current condition by increasing temperature and reducing electrode gap distance. The maximum power densities were enhanced from 1.9 to 2.4 times according to the experimented electrode gap distances by increasing temperature of $4^{\circ}C$. The electricity generation was increased with the decrease of electrode gap distance. The effects of operating temperature and electrode gap distance were closely connected with the internal resistance of MFC system. That is, the increase of temperature and decrease of electrode gap distance reduced the internal resistance of MFC, resulting in the enhancement of electricity generation of MFC.

Soil microbial fuel cells (SMFC) have gained a great attention as an eco-friendly technology that can simultaneously generate electricity and treat organic pollutants from the contaminated soil. We evaluated the effect of electrode spacing and size on the performance of SMFC treating soil contaminated with organic pollutants. Maximum power density decreased with increase in electrode distance or decrease in electrode size, likely due to higher internal resistance. The maximum voltage and power density decreased from 326 mV and $19.5mW/m^2$ with 4 cm of electrode distance to 222 mV and $5.9mW/m^2$ with 9 cm of electrode distance. In case of electrode size test, the maximum voltage and power density generated was 291 mV, $0.34mW/m^3$ when both of anode and cathode area were $64cm^2$ with 4 cm of electrode distance. The maximum voltage decreased by 19~29% when the anode area decreased to $16cm^2$ while only 3~12% of voltage decreased with cathode area decrease. The maximum power density decreased by 49~68% with decreasing anode size, and by 29~47% with decreasing cathode size. These results showed that the anode area had more significant effects than the cathode area on the power generation of SMFC which has a high internal resistance due to a coexistence of soil and wastewater in the reactor.

Phase-change optical disk very rapid recording, high densification of data, resulting in high feedback rate and good C/N(carrier to noise) ratio of a feedback signal. However, repetitive thermal energy may cause the deformation of a disk or the lowering of an eliminability and a cyclability of the recording. The lowering of the cyclability can be reduced by insertion of thin layer of ZnS-$SiO_2$ dielectric thin film in appropriate disk structure between the upper and lower part of the recording film. Using the Taguchi method, optimum conditions satisfying both the optimized quality characteristic values and the scattering values for film formation were found to be the target R.F. power of 200W, the substrate R.F. power of 20W, the Ar pressure of 6mTorr, and the electrode distance of 6cm. From the refractive index data, the existence of the strong interaction between the electrode distance and Ar pressure was confirmed, and so was the large effect of the electrode distance on transmittance. According to the analysis of TEM and XRD, the closer the electrode distance was, the finer was the grain size due to the high deposition rate. However, the closer electrode distance brought the negative effect on the morphology of the film and caused the reduction of transmittance. AFM and SEM analyses showed that the closer the electrode distance was, the worse was the morphology due to the high rate of the deposition. Under optimum condition, the deposited thin film showed a good morphology and dense microstructure with less defects.

Microbial fuel cells (MFC) are bio-electrochemical processes that can convert various organic materials present in wastewater into electrical energy. For scaling-up and practical application of MFC, it is necessary to investigate the effect of anode size, electrode distance, and total area of anode on substrate degradation. Spaced electrode assembly (SPA) type microbial fuel cell with multiple anodes treating domestic wastewater was used for simulation. According to computer simulation results, the shorter the distance between electrodes than the size of single electrode, the faster the substrate degradation rate. Particularly, when the total area of the anode is large, the substrate decomposition is the fastest. In this study, it was found that the size of the anode and the distance between the electrodes as well as the cathode electrode, which is known as the rate-limiting step in the design of the microbial fuel cell process, are also important factors influencing the substrate degradation rate.

3점 전위 강하법을 이용하여 접지 저항을 측정하는 방법은 접지 전극과 전류 전극 그리고 전위 전극의 이격 거리 영향 관계에 따라 그 정확성이 결정된다. 하지만 실체 접지 시설을 요하는 현장에서 접지 저항을 측정하기 위한 공간 확보가 어려워 각 전극들의 정확한 위치 선정이 여의치 않는 경우가 발생할 수 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 전위 전극의 이탈 범위와 접지 전극으로부터의 이격 거리에 따른 접지 저항 값의 오차를 측정하여 각각의 경우에 대해 통상적인 접지 저항 측정 방법에 의한 측정값과의 오차 범위를 분석해본다.

Effect of electrode spacing on the performance of microbial electrolysis cells(MECs) for treating sewage sludge was investigated through lab scale experiment. The reactors were equipped with two pairs of electrodes that have a different electrode spacing (16, 32 mm). Shorter electrode distance improved the overall performance of MEC system. With the 16 mm of electrode distance, the current density was $3.04{\sim}3.74A/m^3$ and methane production was $0.616{\sim}0.804Nm^3/m^3$, which were higher than those obtained with 32 mm of electrode spacing ($1.50{\sim}1.82A/m^3$, $0.529{\sim}0.664Nm^3/m^3$). The COD removal was in the range of 34~40%, and the VSS reduction ranged 32~38%. As the current production increased, VSS reduction and methane production were increased possibly due to the improved bioelectrochemical performance of the system. Methane production was more affected by current density than VSS reduction. These results imply that the reducing the electrode spacing can enhance the methane production and recovery from sewage sludge with the decreased internal resistance, however, it was not able to improve VSS reduction of sewage sludge.

In this paper, the effects of the position and the angle of the potential probes on the measurements of the ground resistance with the fall-of-potential method are described and the testing techniques to minimize the measuring errors are proposed. The fall-of-potential method is theoretically based on the potential and current measuring principle and the measuring error is primarily caused by the position and angle of auxiliary probes. In order to analyze the relative error for measuring value of ground resistance due to the position of the potential probe, ground resistance were measured in case that the distance of current probe was fixed at 50[m] and the distance of potential probe was located from l0[m] to 50[m]. Also, the potential probe was located at 30[$^{\circ}$], 45[$^{\circ}$], 60[$^{\circ}$], 90[$^{\circ}$] and 180[$^{\circ}$]. As a consequence, relative error decreased with increasing the distance of potential probe and decreasing the angle between current probe and potential probe. The results could be help to determine the position of potential probe when the ground resistance was measured at grounding system.
