Voltage transfer curves have been used for analyzing the micro-discharge characteristics of cells in ac-PDP. This paper deals with the effect of working gas species, pressure and frequency of applied voltage on the micro-discharge characteristics. Using the mixture gases of He+Xe or He+Ne+Xe, wall voltage steeply varied compared with only He gas, and also voltage margin increased. Discharge voltage and voltage margin increased with increasing Xe percentage, and also wall voltage more steeply varied. In addition, the variation of effective wall capacitance which is significantly dependent on the discharge strength is discussed.

The discharge characteristics of a prototype ion source was investigated, which was developed and upgraded for the NBI (Neutral Beam Injection) heating system of KSTAR (Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research). The ion source was designed for the arc discharge of magnetic bucket chamber with multi-pole cusp fields. The ion source was discharged by the emission-limited mode with the control of filament heating voltage. The maximum ion density was 4 times larger than the previous discharge controlled by a space-charge-limited mode with fully heated filament. The plasma (ion) density and arc current were proportional to the filament voltage, but the discharge efficiency was inversely proportional to the operating pressure of hydrogen gas. The maximum ion density and arc current were obtained with constant arc voltage ($80{\sim}100V$), as $8{\times}10^{11}cm^{-3}$ and 1200 A, respectively. The estimated maximum beam current was about 35 A, extracted by the accelerating voltage of 80kV.

In this paper, we experimentally investigated discharge phenomena inside vacuum interrupter at 1 to 20 Torr to simulate the vacuum leakage. We used glass type of vacuum interrupter where the internal pressure and the type of gasses can be varied according to requirement. The experiment is conducted under ac applied voltage and the experimental circuit is constructed to simulate the actual circuit used in cubical type insulated switchgear. We used two types of gases such as air and $SF_6$. The use of glass type vacuum interrupter allowed us to measure discharges occurring in vacuum interrupter optically. We measured and discussed the discharge occurring in both gases with a current transformer and ICCD camera. We also revealed that electromagnetic wave spectra emitted by the discharge have same frequency range for both gasses.

PDP의 luminous efficacy의 향상을 위해서는 동작가스의 연구가 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 bolsig simulator를 사용하여 여러 비율의 Xe+Kr+Ne 3원가스 시뮬레이션을 통하여 각 가스입자들에 전달되는 이온화에너지, 여기에너지를 조사하였다. 실험에서 short discharge gap과 long discharge gap을 가진 7인치 테스트 패널 2개를 사용하여 가스압력과 Xe+Kr+Ne 혼합비를 변화시켜가며 discharge voltage, luminance, luminous efficacy를 측정하여, 방전특성을 연구하였다.

Various types of plasma display panels(PDPs) have been developed to realize the flat panel display device. But, many of its characteristics must be improved before it can be commercialized. In order to investigate tile characteristics of micro discharge in a PDP ceil, we have constructed a micro-gap discharge system whose electrode gap can be adjustable between $100-1000{\mu}m$ within $0.1{\mu}m$ accuracy. We measured the minimum sustain voltage, current, delay time of discharge while changing parameters(electrode gap distance, electrode surface area, pressure) which influence discharge characteristics.

The hot-firing tests of a subscale gas generator were successfully performed to investigate the effect of injector shape variation on discharge coefficients. The test results showed that discharge coefficients of fuel and liquid oxygen injectors remained nearly constant irrespective of variations of a mixture ratio and a chamber pressure. Especially, the discharge coefficient of the liquid oxygen injector was largely increased compared to the previous works.

본 연구는 HMDS/$O_2$/He/Ar의 gas mixture를 이용하여 remote-type의 DBD source를 통한 APPECVD를 통한 SiOx 양질의 무기막 증착 공정을 개발하였다. 이때 기판에 바이어스를 인가 하거나 혹은 접지를 하여 대기압 플라즈마의 환경 내에서도 바이어스 효과를 확인할 수 있도록 double discharge system을 구축하였다. 그리고 이 double discharge system의 다양한 특성과 기존의 전형적인 DBD와 비교 하였을 때 어떠한 차이점을 가지는지에 대해서도 관찰하였다. 그리하여 전형적인 DBD system과 double discharge를 통해 증착된 SiOx 무기막의 특성을 역시 비교 관찰하였다. Gas mixture 중 HMDS의 유량이 증가함에 따라, 그리고 $O_2$ gas의 유량이 감소함에 따라 SiOx 무기막의 증착률은 감소하였다. 그러나, SiOx 무기막 내의 불순물들, 예를 들어, carbon 혹은 hydrogen 계열의 chemical bond에 대한 정성적인 양은 HMDS 의 유량이 증가하거나 혹은 $O_2$ gas의 양이 감소함에 따라 오히려 증가함을 관찰할 수 있었다. 그리고 기판에 바이어스를 인가하는 double discharge system을 사용하였을 경우, 같은 HMDS, $O_2$ gas 유량을 사용한 전형적인 DBD type의 증착 공정 보다 더 높은 공정 효율을 나타냄과 동시에 더 낮은 불순물 함량을 가짐을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 double discharge system을 통해 증착된 양질의 SiOx 무기막이 증착 되었음을 FT-IR을 통한 막질 분석을 통해 확인 할 수 있었다. 이러한 double discharge system의 증착 공정에 대한 긍정적인 효과들은 atmospheric discharge의 효율 향상에 따른 gas dissociation efficiency 증가와 이를 통한 HMDS 분해 및 산소와의 recombination 효율의 증가에 따른 결과로 사료된다.

The aerodynamic and aeroacoustic performance of discharge grille of outdoor unit of air-conditioner was investigated in this study. Discharge grille is one of outdoor unit's important parts to affect the flow rate and Overall Sound Pressure Level(OSPL). New type of discharge grille was suggested based on the results of numerical simulation. To simulate the flow pattern near the propeller fan, commercial flow solver FLUENT was used. Sliding mesh method was used for rotating propeller fan and initial condition for unsteady model was calculated by Multiple Reference Frame(MRF) method. To minimize the interaction noise between fan blade wake and discharge grille, new discharge grille has radial rib which is aligned with trailing edge of fan blade. And inclined radial rib was adopted for reducing flow rate drop in discharge grille. The optimization of inclined angle of radial grille was performed experimentally.

Vertical drain method, which is one of the soft ground improvement methods, shorten s drain path to accelerate consolidation process and is applied in many sites. At a recent, composite discharge capacity experiment that analyze discharge amount by consolidation behavior with overburden pressure of soft ground in laboratory, simulates similarly with actuality. Geotechnical engineering problems such a s soft ground improvement are solved by numerical analysis by development of computer and numerical analysis techniques. Numerical analysis does that result is contrary by user's inexperience for choice of constitution model and application of analysis method. Therefore, this thesis experiments on composite discharge capacity test and study discharge capacity of drain and consolidation behavior of soft ground installed prefabricated vertical drain boards. Also, This thesis studied reasonable input parameters and constitution model by compare results of composite discharge capacity test and numerical analysis using PLAXIS that is 2D finial element numerical analysis program.

The dispersion of gas discharged from the vent pipes of pressure relief valves attached LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) storage tank was studied. In general, vent pipes should be positioned so that they discharge vertically upwards in a safe place, and installed so that, in the event of ignition of discharged gas, flame impingement on any vessel, equipment or piping is avoided[1][2]. In Korea, on the other hand, there are various type of the end of vent pipes because there is no rule for discharge directions from the vent pipes. In this paper, we took 4 types of vent directions from the pipes in to account, such as vertically upward, vertically downward, vertically 4-way and horizontally 2-way direction. A software package, FLACS, was adopted to simulate gas dispersion from the vent pipes. We found that vertically downward, vertically 4-way and horizontally 2-way discharge from vent pipes were undesirable to avoid ignition on near ground. Therefore, it was obvious that vertically upward opening of a vent pipe is the best option to discharge in a safe place.
