To analyze the small current interruption performance for the gas circuit breakers, the gas density and electric field intensity should be calculated. In this paper, the FVFLIC method is used for the gas flow analysis and the FEM for the electric field analysis. Then, the dielectric withstanding voltage is evaluated by the empirical formulation or Streamer theory. By comparing the calculated dielectric strength with the test result, it is found that both methods show good prediction capability for the small current interruption performance. Especially, when both methods predict the same interrupting performance, the prediction is in accordance with the experimental result.

This paper describes the electrical breakdown characteristics of broken toughened glass stem insulators by comparing with those of sound ones. The broken toughened glass stem insulators were taken from the electric railway field. According to the international standards, the sound and broken toughened glass stem insulators were tested in electrical strength. In the test, the power frequency voltage and the impulse voltage with a standard waveform were applied to the insulators. The power frequency voltage tests were carried out under both dry and wet condition and the impulse voltage tests under only dry condition. The acquired results were compared one another and discussed in electrical breakdown characteristic by analyzing the flashover progress pictures. As a result, the electrical strength of the broken toughened glass insulators was acquired and the processes of the surface breakdown on the toughened glass insulators were confirmed.

We investigated the effects of a pulsed electric field (PEF) treatment on microbial inactivation and the physical properties of low-fat milk. Milk inoculated with Escherichia coli, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, or Lactobacillus brevis was supplied to a pilot-scale PEF treatment system at a flow rate of 30 L/h. Pulses with an electric field strength of 10 kV/cm and a pulse width of 30 µs were applied to the milk with total pulse energies of 50-250 kJ/L achieved by varying the pulse frequency. The inactivation curves of the test microorganisms were biphasic with an initial lag phase (or shoulder) followed by a phase of rapid inactivation. PEF treatments with a total pulse energy of 200 kJ/L resulted in a 4.5-log reduction in E. coli, a 4.4-log reduction in L. brevis, and a 6.0-log reduction in S. cerevisiae. Total pulse energies of 200 and 250 kJ/L resulted in greater than 5-log reductions in microbial counts in stored PEF-treated milk, and the growth of surviving microorganisms was slow during storage for 15 d at 4℃. PEF treatment did not change milk physical properties such as pH, color, or particle-size distribution (p<0.05). These results indicate that a relatively low electric-field strength of 10 kV/cm can be used to pasteurize low-fat milk.

Cold-formed steel (CFS) is prone to buckling failure under loading. Lightweight concrete (LC) made of lightweight aggregate has light weight and excellent thermal insulation performance. However, concrete is brittle in nature which is why different materials have been used to improve this inherent behavior of concrete. The distortional buckling (DB) performance of cold-formed steel-lightweight concrete (CFS-LC) composite columns was investigated in this paper. Firstly, the compressive strength test of foam concrete (FC) and ceramsite concrete (CC) was carried out. The performance of the CFS-LC members was investigated. The test results indicated that the concrete-filled can effectively control the DB of the members. Secondly, finite element (FE) models of each test specimen were developed and validated with the experimental tests followed by extensive parametric studies using numerical analysis based on the validated FE models. The results show that the thickness of the steel and the strength of the concrete-filled were the main factors on the DB and bearing capacity of the members. Finally, the bearing capacity of the test specimens was calculated by using current codes. The results showed that the design results of the AIJ-1997 specification were closer to the experimental and FE values, while other results of specifications were conservative.

The demand for electric power keeps growing, and tends to be more effective. Polymer insulators have been manufactured for almost twenty years and the excellent insulation performance of polymer insulators is attractive. Polymeric materials are now widely used as a replacement for inorganic materials such as porcelain or glass for the outdoor insulation of high voltage insulation. GFRP has been used widely as a core materials for polymer insulators. This paper reports the mechanical properties of GFRP for insulators. The bending strength was simulated and evaluated according to the winding angle. The fiber orientation in GFRP has a great effect on the strength of GFRP because the strength of GFRP mainly depends on the strength of fiber. Results of simulated and evaluated strength of GFRP were compared each other. The simulated strength of GFRP rod was different from the evaluated strength. It was caused that the shear stress had a great effect on the strength of GFRP although the stress of parallel direction of GFRP was much higher.

PEF 기법은 안전하고 천연상태에 가까운 식품을 생산하기 위한 최신의 비열처리법이다. 이 기법은 영양가, 풍미, 물성 및 관능적 성질의 영향을 최소화 시키는 안전한 식품생산에 이용할 수 있다. 이 공정은 두 전극사이에 놓여지는 식품에 고압의 전기를(20 $\sim$ 80kv/cm) 작용시킴으로써 실시된다. PEF 처리에 의해 미생물의 세포막이 분해되거나 불한정하게되어 미생물은 활력을 상실하게된다. PEF 공정에 의한 미생물의 비활성화 정도는 주로 전기장에서의 펄스강도와 처리시간에 의존한다. 미생물의 종류에 따라 상응하는 전기장의 강도와 처리시간이 요구된다. 처리효과는 미생물의 특성과 존재했던 배지에서의 생육단계에 의존한다. 효과적인 가공을 위해 여러종류의 공정조건이 적절하게 사용되어야 한다. PEF기법의 잠재적효용은 생물공학에서 식품저장에 이르기까지 다양하다. 식품가공과 관련해서 이 기법은 특히 에너지효율에서 경제적이며 처리되는 식품이 가공공정의 영향을 적게 받는다는 것이 이미 입증되었다. 이 기법을 식품가공에 응용하기위해 본 논문에서 개괄적으로 고찰한다.

7개의 전극을 직렬로 배열한 다중전극 고전압펄스 전기장(PEF) 처리장치를 사용하여 전기장 세기와 주파수를 달리한 square wave 펄스(너비 $1\;{\mu}s$)로 약주의 연속 살균을 시도하였다. 살균 전 약주의 총균수는 $1.88{\times}10^3{\sim}2.13{\times}10^4\;CFU/mL$, 효모는 $1.72{\times}10^3{\sim}2.39{\times}10^4\;CFU/mL$, 젖산균은 $1.55{\times}10^3{\sim}2.85{\times}10^4\;CFU/mL$이었다. 약주를 유량 1 mL/s의 속도로 PEF장치에 투입하여 처리한 결과 미생물 사멸기구는 1차반응으로 해석 될 수 있었고, 주파수 및 전기장세기가 증가함에 따라 살균율이 높아졌다. $D_{Hz}$값 및 $D_{PEF}$값은 전기장 세기가 증가함에 따라 감소하였으며, 효모는 세균에 비하여 낮은 값을 보였다. 젖산균은 30 kV/cm 이하의 전기장에서는 일반 호기성 세균에 비하여 낮은 $D_{PEF}$값을 보였으나, 40 kV/cm 이상에서는 높은 $D_{PEF}$값을 나타냈다. 미생물 종류별 $Z_{PEF}$값은 일반 호기성 세균 39.4 kV/cm 젖산균 49.3 kV/cm, 효모 47.6 kV/cm로 일반 호기성 세균의 전기장세기에 대한 의존성이 가장 큰 것으로 나타났다. PEF처리에 의한 약주의 색택 변화는 열처리에 비하여 미미하였으며, PEF살균 약주의 품질은 가열살균 약주에 비하여 월등히 우수하였다. 약주를 본 연구에서 사용한 PEF장치에 2회 통과시킬 경우 상업적 살균이 달성되었다.

A triboelectrostatic separation system for removing unburned carbon from coal fly ash is designed and evaluated. Fly ash from a coal-fired power plant is used as an accepted additive in concrete where it adds strength, sulfate resistance and reduced cost, provided acceptable levels of unburned carbon are maintained. Unfortunately, unburned carbon in coal fly ash absorbs some of other additives and reduces the concrete strength. This paper describes to investigate dry triboelectrostatic process to separate unburned carbon from coal fly ash and utilize it into economically valuable products. The laboratory-scale triboelectrostatic separation system consists of a particle feeding system, a tribocharger, a separation chamber, and collection systems. Particles of unburned carbon and fly ash can be imparted positive and negative surface charges, respectively, with a copper tribocharger due to differences in the work function values of the particles and the tribocharger, and can be separated by passing them through an external electric field. Results showed that fly ash recovery was strongly dependent on the electric field strength and the particle size. 70wt% of fly ash containing 6.5wt% of carbon contents could be recovered at carbon contents below 3%. The triboelectrostatic separation system showed a potential to be an effective method for removing unburned carbon from coal fly ash.

A microchip-based capillary gel electrophoresis (MCGE) technique was developed for the ultra-fast detection and differentiation of Candidatus Mycoplasma haemominutum (Candidatus M. haemominutum, California strain) and Mycoplasma haemofelis (M. haemofelis, Ohio strain) in Korean feral cats through the application of programmed field strength gradients (PFSG) in a conventional glass double-T microchip. The effects of the poly (ethyleneoxide) (PEO) concentration and electric field strength on the separation of DNA fragments were investigated. The PCR-amplified products of Candidatus M. haemominutum (202-bp) and M. haemofelis (273-bp) were analyzed by MCGE within 75 s under a constant applied electric field of 117.6 V/cm and a sieving matrix of 0.3% PEO (Mr 8 000 000). When the PFSG was applied, MCGE analysis generated results 6.8-times faster without any loss of resolution or reproducibility. The MCGE-PFSG technique was also applied to eleven samples selected randomly from 33 positive samples. The samples were detected and differentiated within 11 s. The analysis time of the MCGE-PFSG technique was approximately 980-times faster than that using conventional slab gel electrophoresis.

To get the possible for management and maintenance, it was analyzed the deformation characteristics, such as crest of embankment and concrete face slab, and leakage of concrete faced rockfill dams (CFRD). There are trends that embankment deformation depends on intact strength used rockfills rather than dam height, deformation normal to concrete face slab during the first reservoir filling is occurred more than 80% of the total deformation in general, and the magnitude and trend of concrete face slab deformation is similar to post-construction crest settlement. The results showed that the range of post-construction crest settlement suggested by Sherard and Cooke (1987), and Clements (1984) had a good agreement in the cases using rockfill with very high intact strength, but it had a trend which underestimated crest settlement in the cases using rockfill with medium to high intact strength. The maximum leakage rate in general was observed during the first reservoir filling and long-term leakage rate was rapidly increased when the dam height exceeds approximately 120m.
