Oscillating wave amplitude in a bottom-mounted owe chamber designed for wave energy converter is investigated by applying characteristic wave conditions in Korean coastal water. The effects of shape parameters of OWC chamber in a view of wave energy absorbing capability are analyzed. Both experimental and numerical approaches are adopted and their results are compared to optimize the shape parameters which can result in a maximum power production under given wave distribution. The experiment was carried out in a wave flume under 2-D assumption of OWC chamber. In numerical scheme, the potential problem inside the chamber is solved by use of the Green integral equation associated with the Rankine Green function, while outer problem with the Kelvin Green function taking account of fluctuating air pressure in the chamber. Air duct diameter, chamber width, and submerged depths of front skirt and back wall of chamber changes the magnitude and peak frequency of wave absorption significantly.

As a ZnO varistor is subjected to electrical and environmental stresses, it degrades gradually, which may result in power interruption by short circuit. This study investigates changes in the electrical characteristics of ZnO varistors due to deterioration owing to energy absorption, and determines the optimal parameters for on-line diagnosis of the varistor. Two types of varistors were used for an accelerated aging experiment involving the application of the $8/20{\mu}s$ standard lightning impulse current. The electrical characteristics in terms of the reference voltage, total leakage current, resistive leakage current, and third-harmonic component of the total leakage current were measured, and their change rates were analyzed. The results revealed that the total leakage current increased slightly with an increase in the varistor absorbed energy, while the resistive leakage current and the third-harmonic component increased apparently. Therefore, the third-harmonic component of the total leakage current was proposed as the optimal parameter for on-line monitoring of ZnO varistor conditions.

Polypropylene as a matrix has been used for wood polymer composites(WPC). In preparing WPC, the coupling agent, Polypropylene grafted Maleic Anhydride(PP-G-MA) was used in order to obtain a good interfacial bonding force between matrix and fillers and dispersion of wood powders. In this study, the effects of wood powder contents and water absorption on the mechanical properties were experimentally investigated. The tensile strength and flexural strength of composites reached its peak value when the wood powder content was around 60 wt%. However, the peak value of the impact was observed about 30 wt% of wood powder content. The tensile strength and flexural strength increase with increasing the wood power contents. But the impact strength decrease with increasing the wood powder contents. The slight change was observed with the water absorption in the WPC. The optimal condition of the compositions such as Anti-oxidant and UV stabilizers for the outdoor application was suggested in this research.

The experimental results of sodium-water reaction noise measurement in frequency range $1{/sim}200kHz$ are presented. The experiments of noise generation under the condition of sodium test facility, water leak rate $0.01{\sim}1.2g/s$ and temperature of sodium $250{\sim}500^{\circ}C$, were carried out. From theoretical study it is noted that the noise resonant attenuation on hydrogen bubbles in liquid sodium plays the significant role for leak noise spectra formation. Interaction of leak noise and hydrogen bubbles in sodium being accompanied by thermal, emission and viscosity energy dissipation was studied. Acoustic noise spectra were investigated from point of view of water leak detection in sodium/water steam generator. The results of sodium-water reaction noise absorption on hydrogen bubbles in liquid sodium by temperature $250{\sim}500^{\circ}C$ are presented. The theoretical model of noise absorption using the coefficients of attenuation was developed. From calculation the coefficients of attenuation were estimated.

There has recently been a considerable amount of interest in two-photon(TP) processes because of their applications to 3-D optical data storage and imaging, up-conversion lasing, and optical power limiting. Recently, the role of Dithienothlophene(DTT) as $\pi$-center of two-photon absorption(TPA) molecules was reported to give a large enhancement of TPA, compared with the benzeniods counterparts.$^{[1]}$ In this report, we carried out two experiments to investigate nonlinear optical absorption of the molecules in which central DTT is attached through conjugation to either a D/D or a D/A pair at the ends, forming a D-$\pi$-D(1 and 3) or D-$\pi$-A(2 and 4) sequence(Fig.1). All the samples were prepared in solutions with the same molar concentration. (omitted)

The protection performance and energy absorption capability are important for both MOAs for distribution lines and MOAs for high voltage systems, therefore the manufacturing technique of ZnO varistor elements with high ability against surge impacts is great important for high voltage systems. But until now ZnO varistors for low voltage class have been developed in Korea, ZnO varistors with the rate discharge current of 5, 10kA class for high voltage systems depend on an import from advanced countries, such as Japan or U.S.A, which have developed its in the late 1980s. So in the aspect of taking independent technique the development of ZnO varistors with the rate discharge current of 5, 10kA class for high voltage systems is important. In this research project ZnO varistor elements with diameters of 35mm and 70mm for the rate discharge current of 5, 10kA class for high voltage systems are manufactured, then various chemical composition and processing variables affected the electrical and the physical characteristics of these ZnO varistors are investigated.

The wave energy absorption efficiency and the first-order and the time-mean second-order wave loads of a three-dimensional bottom-mounted oscillating water column (OWC) chamber structure are studied. The potential problem is solved by making use of a hybrid Green integral equation associated with the finite-waterdepth free-surface Green function outside a twin chamber and the Rankine Green function inside taking account of the fluctuating air pressure inside the chamber. Numerical results of the primary wave energy converting efficiency and the oscillating and steady wave loads of a three-dimensional bottom-mounted OWC pilot plant have been presented.

Power-take-off through inner dynamic system inside a floating buoy is suggested. The power take-off system is characterized by mass, stiffness, and damping and generates power through the relative heave motion between the buoy and inner mass (magnet or amateur). A systematic hydrodynamic theory is developed for the suggested WEC and the developed theory is illustrated by a case study. A vertical truncated cylinder is selected as a buoy and the optimal condition of the inner dynamic system for maximum PTO (power take off) through double resonance for the given wave condition is systematically investigated. Through the case study, it is seen that the maximum power can actually be obtained at the optimal spring and damper condition, as predicted by the developed WEC theory. However, the band-width of high performance region is not necessarily the greatest at the optimal (maximum-power-take-off) condition, so it has to be taken into consideration in the actual design of the WEC.

The effects of annealing temperature on electromagnetic wave absorption characteristics in $Fe_{73.5}Cu_1Nb_3Si_{15.5}B_7$ (at%) alloy flakes/polymer composite sheets available for quasi-microwave band have been investigated. The composite sheet including the magnetic flakes annealed at $425{\sim}475^{\circ}C$ for 1 h exhibited highest power loss in the GHz frequency range as compared with the sheets composed of the alloy flakes annealed at higher temperature than $475^{\circ}C$ or in as-milled state. Moreover the imaginary part of complex permeability had largest value in the GHz frequency range for the sheets including the flakes annealed at $425{\sim}475^{\circ}C$. The large value of power loss of the sheets including the magnetic flakes annealed at $425{\sim}475^{\circ}C$ was attributed to the high imaginary part of the complex permeability. However, because of its large transmission parameter $S_{21}$, the composite sheet having the magnetic flakes annealed at $525^{\circ}C$ showed low power loss.

Reduction in pollution performance of polymeric insulators, aged due to water absorption stress and thermal stress, is a major threat to the reliable operation of power transmission and distribution system. Formation of partial discharges on the surface of wet polluted insulator plays a major role in determining the life time and pollution performance of outdoor polymeric insulators. However, reports on partial discharge characteristics of water absorption stress aged and thermal aged polymeric insulators are scanty. This paper discusses the pollution performance characteristics of accelerated aged polymeric insulators using the advanced ultra wide band PD signal measurement and analysis. Laboratory experiments on accelerated aged polymeric insulators were carried out as per IEC 60507 under AC voltage, at different humidity and contamination levels using NaCl as a contaminant. PRPD pattern and Time-Frequency map analysis of PD signals were carried out. From the results, it can be speculated that PD analysis is a well suited technique to understand the pollution performance of aged polymeric insulators.
