The heating produced by the absorption of radiofrequency (RF) has been considered a secondary undesirable effect during MRI procedures. In this work, we have measured the power absorbed by distilled water, glycerol and egg-albumin during NMR and non-NMR experiments. The samples are dielectric and examples of different biological materials. The samples were irradiated using the same RF pulse sequence, whilst the magnetic field strength was the variable to be changed in the experiments. The measurements show a smooth increase of the thermal power as the magnetic field grows due to the magnetoresistive effect in the copper antenna, a coil around the probe, which is directly heating the sample. However, in the cases when the magnetic field was the adequate for the NMR to take place, some anomalies in the expected thermal powers were observed: the thermal power was higher in the cases of water and glycerol, and lower in the case of albumin. An ANOVA test demonstrated that the observed differences between the measured power and the expected power are significant.

Cases of insulation breakdown damage of water-cooled generator stator windings occur frequently due to coolant leakage and water absorption worldwide. Such serious accidents may cause not only enormous economic loss but also very serious grid accidents in terms of stable supply of electric power. More than 50 % of domestic generators have been operated for more than 15 years, and leak and water absorption problem of windings are often found during the planned preventive maintenance period. Since 2005, leak and water absorption tests have been performed for total watercooled stator windings after fully drying the inside of the windings. The results are then comprehensively analyzed. The result of the test performed by GE, a foreign manufacturer, for 141 generators showed failures in 80 of them (failure rate: 57 %), whereas in the tests carried out in Korean domestic power plants, only 14 out of 50 generators showed failures (failure rate: 28 %).

In laser materials processing, localized heating, melting and evaporation caused by focused laser radiation forms a vapor on the material surface. The plume is generally an unstable entity, fluctuating according to its own dynamics. The beam is refracted and absorbed as it traverses the plume, thus modifying its power density on the surface of the condensed phases. This modifies material evaporation and optical properties of the plume. A laser-produced plasma plume simulation is completed using axisymmetric, high-temperature gas dynamic model including the laser radiation power absorption, refraction, and reflection. The physical properties and velocity profiles are verified using the published experimental and numerical results. The simulation results provide the effect of plasma plume fluctuations on the laser power density and quantitative beam radius changes on the material surface. It is proved that beam absorption, reflection and defocusing effects through the plume are essential to obtain appropriate mathematical simulation results. It is also found that absorption of the beam in the plume has much less direct effect on the beam power density at the material surface than defocusing does and helium gas is more efficient in reducing the beam refraction and absorption effect compared to argon gas for common laser materials processing.

수냉각 발전기 고정자 권선에서의 냉각수 누수 및 흡습에 의한 절연파괴 손상사례가 국내 및 국외에서 자주 발생되고 있다. 이러한 사고는 막대한 경제적 피해뿐만 아니라 전력의 안정적 공급 측면에서 매우 심각한 계통 사고로 연결될 수 있다. 특히 국내 발전기는 15년 이상 운전되어 열화가 진행된 발전기가 50% 이상이며, 계획예방정비 기간 중에 권선에서의 누설 및 흡습 권선이 종종 발견되고 있다. 기존에는 누수 시험 전 과정인 권선 건조 과정을 무시한 채 누수 시험 결과만으로 권선 누설 여부를 진단하였으나 본 논문에서는 누수 시험을 위한 준비 단계인 진공 건조 시의 권선 내부의 진공도 패턴 분석을 통해 권선 누설 및 흡습 여부를 예측진단할 수 있는 방법을 실험적으로 증명하였다.

An experiment is conducted for measuring the performance of an air tool, which is operated at 100,000 RPM at the unloaded state with the low torque. An experimental apparatus is developed as the power absorption type dynamometer. Inlet static pressure, flow rate, RPM and force are measured simultaneously. Torque, output power and specific output power are obtained. Those experimental results are compared with the experimental results obtained on a commercial dynamometer. However, no commercial dynamometers are available for measuring the torque above 30,000RPM. In order to use the commercial dynamometer, a reduction gear is applied to the shaft of dynamometer. Torque and power obtained on the commercial dynamometer show 50% lower than those obtained on a power absorption type dynamometer, because the inertia force is added to the air tool rotor for the braking system. Moreover, the starting RPM on the commercial dynamometer is less than 40,000RPM. From the compared results, they show that the power absorption type dynamometer should be applied for measuring the performance of an air tool operating at low torque and high RPM.

An analysis was conducted to predict technical trends for the highly efficient absorption refrigeration system. The study was based on submitted patent during January 1981 and December 2000 in Korea, Japan and U.S.A. The analysis are divided with two categories as component technology and refrigeration type technology. The analysis was focused on component technologies rather than the absorption cycle or system technologies.

The compressor is one of major noise sources in air conditioner outdoor units, especially deteriorating the sound quality. Therefore, the sound insulation materials layered with sound absorption materials are applied around compressors. In this study, the performance of the sound insulators is examined by measuring the insertion losses in power base and the effects of sound absorption materials, method of application and the shape of the insulators are also investigated. The importance of minimizing the opening is revealed well.

Recently, the power and refrigeration cogeneration based on Kalina cycle has attracted much attention for more efficient utilization of low-grade energy. This study presents a thermodynamic performance analysis of a cogeneration cycle of power and absorption refrigeration based on Kalina cycle. The cycle combines Kalina cycle (KCS-11) and absorption cycles by adding a condenser and an evaporator between turbine and absorber. The effects of ammonia mass fraction and separation pressure were investigated on the system performance of the system. Results showed that the energy utilization of the system could be greatly improved compared to the basic Kalina cycle.

Low pressure inductively coupled plasma characteristics of argon and oxygen are numerically simulated for a 400 mm rectangular type system with a plasma fluid model. The results showed lower power absorption profile at the corner than a circular one in a 13.56 MHz driven 1.5 turn antenna system with a drift-diffusion and quasi-neutrality assumption. Ions controlled by electric field are more non-uniform than metastables and the power absorption profile of oxygen plasma is affected by horizontal gas flow pattern to show 25% lower power absorption at the pumping flange side. Oxygen negative ions which are generated in electron collisional dissociation of oxygen molecules was calculated as 0.1% of oxygen atoms with similar spatial profile.
