In this study, we investigated the dust explosion characteristics by determining minimum ignition energy and explosion limit for this experiment, we used pine-tree dust which was used widely for the filler of thermosetting resin. The experiment was accomplished according to the variation of discharge gap, dust concentration, particle size and humidity. The result of this experiment are as follows; (1) The relation between the discharge gap and ignition energy was that ignition energy decreased according as the discharge gap became small, but increased when the discharge gap was below 4mm and suddenly became infinite when the discharge gap was below. So, we knew that this infinite value was limit discharge gap. (2) When the dust concentration increase and the particle size became microscopic it was easy to explore and in the same particle size, if the humidity increase the minimum ingnition energy decreased.

In this paper, we propose the electrode of the Patterned Vertical Aligned (PVA) cell [1] for high transmittance. We use the 'TechWiz LCD' for calculation of the director configuration and optical characteristics to ensure the results of the proposed electrode structure. In general, the transmittance of the PVA cell depends on the shape of the electrode and cell gap. In this work the width of gate line and data line of the improved electrode design is set to be equal to that of the PVA conventional. Instead, we modified the shape of the top and bottom electrode on order to decrease the area of the defect. For verification, we compared the calculated optical transmittance of the PVA cell with the proposed electrode structure to the conventional PVA cell . As a result, we can confirm that the optical loss due to the variation of the retardation the LC cell around electrode can be definitely decreased by the proposed electrode.

Reckless development of the underground by rapid urbanization causes inspection delay on replacement of existing structure and installation new facilities. However, frequent accidents occur due to deviation in construction design planned by inaccurate location information of underground structure. Meanwhile, the electrical resistivity survey, knowns as non-destructive method, is based on the difference in the electric potential of electrodes to measure the electrical resistance of ground. This method is significantly advanced with multi-electrode and deep learning for analyzing strata. However, there is no study to quantitatively assess change in electrical resistance according to geometric conditions of structures. This study evaluates changes in electrical resistance through geometric parameters of electrodes and structure. Firstly, electrical resistance numerical module is developed using generalized mesh occurring minimal errors between theoretical and numerical resistance values. Then, changes in resistances are quantitatively compared on geometric parameters including burial depth, diameter of structure, and distance electrode and structure under steady current condition. The results show that higher electrical resistance is measured for shallow depth, larger size, and proximity to the electrode. Additionally, electric potential and current density distributions are analyzed to discuss the measured electrical resistance around the terminal electrode and structure.

In an electrical tomographic survey using an inclined borehole with a pole-dipole array, we must consider several factors: a singular point associated with zero potential difference, a spatial discrepancy between electrode and nodal point in a model due to a inclined borehole, and a variation of geometric factors in connection with a irregular topography. Singular points which are represented by the normal distance from current source to the ground surface can be represented by serveral regions due to a irregular topography of ground surface. The method of element division can be applied to the region in which the borehole is curved, inclined or the distance between the electrodes is shorter than that of nodal points, because the coordinate of each electrode cannot be assigned directly to the nodal point if several electrodes are in an element. Test on a three-dimensional (3-D) synthetic model produces good images of conductive target and shoves stable convergence.

Effects of operating parameters on electrical properties and ozone generation of Plasma Gun for ballast water treatment were investigated in a laboratory scale experiment. Electrical discharges and ozone generation initiated with applying voltages higher than discharge onset value. Ozone concentration was almost linearly increased with the increase of applied voltage. The optimum electrode gap distance which gave the optimum energy efficiency of ozone generation was 1.95 mm in the experimented apparatus. The effect of inner electrode material on the electrical energy transfer was negligible, however, the difference of electrical and thermal conductivities between electrode materials significantly influenced the ozone generation. In a constant geometrical structure, the electrical energy density played an important role in the ozone generation. The increase of oxygen content in the feeding gas enhanced the ozone generation by lowering ionization potential and promoting ozone source.

In order to build a general model of a high-throughput uranium electrorefining process according to the electrode configuration, numerical analysis was conducted using the COMSOL Multiphysics V5.3 electrodeposition module with Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE) interfaces. The generated model was validated by comparing a current density-potential curve according to the distance between the anode and cathode and the electrode array, using a lab-scale (1kg U/day) multi-electrode electrorefiner made by the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI). The operating temperature was $500^{\circ}C$ and LiCl-KCl eutectic with 3.5wt% $UCl_3$ was used for molten salt. The efficiency of the uranium electrorefining apparatus was improved by lowering the cell potential as the distance between the electrodes decreased and the anode/cathode area ratio increased. This approach will be useful for constructing database for safety design of high throughput spent nuclear fuel electrorefiners.

In this paper, for the typical LED and the tilted LED, when there is no electrode, when 20% absorption (80% reflection) occurs at the electrode, and when 60% absorption (40% reflection) occurs at the electrode, the effect of the absorption at the electrode and the height of the active region on the photon extraction efficiency and the mean photon path length was investigated, and an appropriate height of the active region was proposed. In a typical LED, as the absorption of the electrode increases, the photon extraction efficiency decreases from 18% to 15% and 13%, and the photon extraction efficiency is highest when the height of the active area is located in the center between the two electrodes. In the tilted LED, as the absorption of the electrode increases, the photon extraction efficiency decreases from 38% to 33% and 25%, and the photon extraction efficiency is highest when the height of the active area is located in the center between the two electrodes. The tilted LED can increase the photon extraction efficiency more than twice than that of a typical LED, where photons are trapped inside the chip due to total reflection.
