Polyethylene is widely used as the insulator for power cable. To investigate the conduction mechanism for power cable insulation under ac high field, it is very important to acquire the dissipation current under actual running field. Recently, we have developed the unique system, which make possible to observe the nonlinear dissipation current waveform. In this system, to observe the nonlinear properties with high accuracy, capacitive current component is canceled by using inverse capacitive current signal instead of using the bridge circuit for canceling it. We have already reported that the dissipation currents of $40\;{\mu}m$ thick LDPE film at 10 kV/mm and over 140 Hz, it starts to show nonlinearity and odd number's harmonics were getting large. To investigate the conduction mechanis ms in this region, especially space charge effect, various kinds of estimation, such as time variations of instantaneous resistivity for one cycle, FFT spectra of dissipation current waveforms and so on, has been examined. As the results of these estimations, it was found that the dissipation current will depend on not only the instantaneous value of electric field but also the time differential of applied electric field due to taking a balance between applied field and internal field. Furthermore, two large peaks of dissipation current for each half cycle were observed under certain condition. In this paper, to clarify the reason why it shows two peaks for each half cycle, the film thickness dependences of dissipation current waveforms were observed by using the three different thickness LDPE films.

This paper presents the results of power spectra using the fundamental and low frequency harmonic components of leakage current waveform to study aging on contaminated EPDM insulator(was serviced during 1997-2001, region Pohang, korea) under salt fog conditions. Experiments have been conducted in the chamber salt fog and at the 16KVrms. The salt contents adjusted as 0g,25g,50g and 75g per liter of deionized water. The onset of dry-band arcing on polymer insulators could be determined by signal processing the low frequency harmonics components. A correlation has been found between the fundamental and low harmonic components of power spectra on leakage current. Where aging could be associated with an increase in the level of both the fundamental and low frequency harmonics components of leakage current. Surface aging for contaminated EPDM insulators occurred when the fundamental component of leakage current was greater then some level On the other hand, when the polymer insulator approached failure, the fundamental component of leakage current reached relatively high values and low frequency harmonics components of the leakage current trended to decrease. The results suggest that both the fundamental and low frequency harmonics of leakage current can be used as a tool to determine both the beginning of aging and before flashover, end of life EPBM insulator in salt fog.

It is critical to study on data charateristics analysis and prediction for the flood disaster prevention and water quality monitoring because discharge and TOC data in a river channel are strongly nonlinear. Therefore, in the present study, prediction models for discharge, TOC, and TOC load data were developed using approximation component in the last level and detail components segregated by wavelet transform. The results show that the developed model overcame the persistence phenomenon which could be seen from previous models and improved the prediciton accuracy comparing with the previous models. It might be expected that the results from the present study can mitigate flood disaster damage and construct active alternatives to various water quality problems in the future.

KSTAR 토카막의 두번째 실험 캠페인 동안 고속파 전자가열 (FWEH)을 위한 ICRF 고주파입사 실험을 실시하였다. 토로이달 자기장은 2 T, 플라즈마 전류는 200-300 kA, 주반경은 1.8 m, 부반경은 0.5 m의 원형 플라즈마가 가열 대상이 되었으며, 네개의 ICRF 안테나 전류띠 가운데 중심부의 두개의 전류띠를 최대 300 kW로 구동하기 위한 운전 주파수는 44.2 MHz가 선택 되었다. 이 주파수는 플라즈마의 모든 영역에서 이온 사이클로트론 공명을 일으키지 않으므로 플라즈마에 흡수되는 대부분의 출력은 전자에게 전달될 것으로 기대되었다. 낮은 고주파-플라즈마 결합으로 인하여 전송선의 최대 고주파 전압이 허용치를 초과하기 때문에 비교적 낮은 최대 출력만이 허용 되었으나, ECE에 의해 관측된 전자의 온도는 국지적으로 최대 150 % 까지 증가하는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 낮은 고주파-플라즈마 결합의 첫번째 원인은 FWEH의 효율이 이온을 가열할 때 보다 상대적으로 낮기 때문이다. 플라즈마 내에 이온 사이클로트론 공명층이 형성되면 높은 효율로 고주파를 입사 할 수 있다는 것은 잘 알려진 사실이다. 또다른 원인은 D 형상의 플라즈마에 맞도록 만들어진 안테나와, 원형 플라즈마간의 부조화로 인하여 고속파 차단층이 (Fast Wave Cutt-off Layer) 평균적으로 넓게 형성되기 때문이다. 플라즈마 외곽에 반드시 존재하는 낮은 플라즈마 밀도의 고속파 차단층 내부에서, 중심부로 향하는 고주파의 진폭은 지수함수로 감쇠하므로 가능하면 플라즈마 밀도를 높여 차단층 자체의 폭을 줄이거나, 안테나 전류띠를 플라즈마에 바짝 접근시켜야만 한다. 고주파 진단 장치로는 송출기의 출력과 반사파 측정 장치, 공명루프의 전압 측정 장치가 있는데, 이것들을 이용하여 안테나에 전달되는 출력 및 고주파-플라즈마 결합 효율을 나타내는 플라즈마에 대한 고주파 부하 저항을 구할 수 있다. 측정 결과, 부하 저항의 최소값은 진공시 또는 ICRF만의 방전시의 값 0.25 Ohm 보다 큰 0.5 Ohm을 나타냈으며, 최대값은 플라즈마의 상태에 따라 1 Ohm에서 2 Ohm 사이에서 매우 빠르게 요동하는 것을 확인했다. Mm 파 반사계의 측정에 의하면 플라즈마 언저리의 위치가 약 3 cm 정도의 크기로 요동하는 것으로 나타났는데, 부하 저항과 언저리 위치의 파형이 정확하게 일치하지 않지만 유사한 경향성을 가진 것으로 보인다. 따라서 플라즈마 언저리 위치의 제어를 통하여 가열 효율을 높게 유지할 수 있음을 알 수 있다. 본 발표에서는 실험의 소개와 함께 부하 저항의 관점에서 가열 효율을 높일 방안을 토론하도록 한다.

Hastelloy C-276, corrosion resistant alloy at high temperature, is used in chemical plant and power generation industry. In this study, process parameter of laser welding for welding property in Hastelloy C-276 using a continuous wave Nd:YAG laser was studied. As the result of experiment, laser welding did not show segregation or crack at heat affected zone compared to conventional GTWA welding. The melting zone showed cell dendritic structure along with welding line. In addition, planer front solidification is occurred from welding structure, and it was progressed to cellular solidification. Optimal process parameter for butt welding was 1.2kW and 2.0 m/min for laser power and welding speed, respectively. While heat input, output density, tensile stress, and longitudinal strain was $441.98{\times}103$ J/cm2, $29.553{\times}103$ W/cm2, 768 MPa, and 0.689, respectively. Lap welding of the same material showed greater discrepancy in tensile property during 1 line and 2 line welding. For 1 line welding, tensile stress was about 320 MPa, and 2 line showed slightly larger tensile stress. However, strain was decreased by 20%. From this result, lap welding of the same material, Hastelloy C-276, with 2 line welding is considered to be more effective process than 1 line welding with consideration of mechanical property.

The various environmental issues arose with the development of today's economy. naturally, people were increased interest in environment and the importance of research on drinking water and contamination are emerging especially. A number of country areas, uranium and ²²²Rn in ground water have been detected to people using as drinking water. So this study evaluated the way for more accurate measurements than when measuring ²²²Rn concentrations in the ground water containing. the experiment was performed using the low-level liquid scintillation counter with an alpha, beta analysis easy PSA function of pulse. the scintillator as the preparation of the ground water samples are mixed, the measure value detection is lowered over prepare period and expiration date. Energy spectrum was also moved to a lower side channel. As a long time to buy the scintillator and over time after opening, it was confirmed that detection is lowered. if the purpose is to use a different scintillator can see the energy through the channel change.

An analytical method to predict qualitative performance characteristics of the Stirling Engines in the preliminary design stages is investigated. Both the expansion and the compression cylinder are treated as adiabatic and piston motions are approximated as saw-toothed waves. Basic equations which were originally proposed by Finkelstein consist of mass conservation and energy balances for each adiabatic cylinder. The approximation on piston motions and physical conditions make it possible to divide an engine cycle into four fundamental processes. In each process, first, pressure can be expressed as a function of the crank angle by solving a nonlinear first order ordinary differential equation and other thermodynamic variables are determined in turn. Application of the cyclic steady condition to the whole processes can complete a cycle. Also, further analysis results in analytic expressions for cyclic work and heat transfer in terms of the engine parameters and thermodynamic variables at boundary points. The results are expected useful as a quick reference for the engine performances. Finally, the present method can be applied to the other adiabatic analyses on the Stirling Engines with piece wise linear piston motions, if mass variations are predictable.

In this study, acoustic emission (AE) signals due to surface cracking and moisture movement in the flat-sawn boards of oak (Quercus Variablilis) during drying under the ambient conditions were analyzed and classified using the principal component analysis. The AE signals corresponding to surface cracking showed higher in peak amplitude and peak frequency, and shorter in rise time than those corresponding to moisture movement. To reduce the multicollinearity among AE features and to extract the significant AE parameters, correlation analysis was performed. Over 99% of the variance of AE parameters could be accounted for by the first to the fourth principal components. The classification feasibility and success rate were investigated in terms of two statistical classifiers having six independent variables (AE parameters) and six principal components. As a result, the statistical classifier having AE parameters showed the success rate of 70.0%. The statistical classifier having principal components showed the success rate of 87.5% which was considerably than that of the statistical classifier having AE parameters.

This paper proposes a multiple-relay-assisted single side band (SSB) space frequency block code (SFBC) single carrier (SC)-frequency division multiple access (FDMA) system and measures the performance of SSB SFBC SC-FDMA transmission system with the signal-to-noise power ratio SNR) between relays and a destination station. As we know, the performance of relay-assisted transmission systems can be easily improved by re-transmitting to the destination station after applying block code to the recovered transmitted signals of relays. In this paper, the performance improvement of the relay-assisted SSB SC-FDMA system can be obtained without any significant increase of system computational complexity by implementing block code with the complex conjugates symmetric characteristic of SSB system. The simulation result shows that the SNR performance of the proposed multiple-relay-assisted SSB SFBC SC-FDMA system is about 4 dB better than the performance of the single-relay-assisted SSB SC-FDMA system at the symbol error rate of 10^-2.
