In this study, the exergy analysis is conducted on the well known performance of already developed system and then compared with the efficiency of each equipment to propose optimum operation of the system. The system used in this study is 500 MW coal firing power plant. The efficiency of the boiler is 67% and the condenser is 99% by exergy analysis. The exergy consumption of the boiler was 32.95% at 100% load. The exergy consumption of the high pressure turbine and the low pressure turbine is 8.31% and 8.12%, respectively. Together with the concrete study on the object of performance revision of the low efficient development system proved in this study, if detailed exergy analysis on the operation condition of the equipments of the development system presently being operated is continued, then it is expected to help minimize the exergy consumption of relatively low efficient parts that are worn-out or miss-installed.

Heat-resistance of W/$Y_2O_3$ as throat insert material was evaluated to develop rocket motor keeping thrust uniformly under condition of high-temperature, high-pressure and long-burn time. Test was conducted with varying burn time, and test results were compared with CIT. Test showed that ablation rate was decreased according as burn time was increased, and that ablation rate of W/$Y_2O_3$ was about 55 % of CIT. Macro/micro structures of throat insert did not show a peculiar phenomenon by increased burn time. In addition, the vacuum heat treatment is effective for the prevention of crack in throat insert.

The effect of ceramic thermal barrier coating thickness on the cooling performance of a liquid-propellant rocket engine combustor has been investigated through combustion/cooling performance analysis whose results verified against measured data from hot-firing tests. Also have been confirmed the effects of film cooling amount near the face plate on the coolant temperature and on the thermal barrier coating surface temperature. Some important points to be considered for designing cooling schemes for regeneratively cooled rocket engine combustor have been drawn and reviewed from present study and further verification of the analysis tool should be performed in the future.

This paper presents the REA thrusters performance estimation results for the KOREASAT F1&F2 launched in 1995 The satellite tracking data obtained from the ground system from end of 1999 to beginning of the 2000 are used to estimate the thruster performance. The estimation algorithm is derived from the least square estimation theory and designed to estimate the velocity change induced by the on-boarded thruster firing as well as the orbit parameter. The estimation results show that the Koreasat F1 thruster are in bad thruster condition of 64% performance for REA when it fires in on-pulse mode. Here, the performance is defined by the ratio of the resulted velocity change to that of planned. But, in the case o( the Koreasat F2, it is found that the performance approximately reaches up to 100%, even after the 5 years of the mission.

In general, Power SCR(Silicon Controlled Rectifier) is most widely used in Power Plant as well as Industrial field. It has been controlled and operated according to its own control method. Especially, in case of Power plant, it plays a major role in AVR(Automatic Voltage Regulator) or electro chlorination control circuits. Generally, they used in Analog control system at above field. But each SCR current value is different because of load unbalance or switching characteristic variations, it may cause power plant unit trip or system disorder according to SCR element burn out or bad operating condition. Therefore, in this paper a development of 3 phase current balance control unit is described, it gets over the past analog control system limit, uses DSP(Digital signal processor) had high speed response, controls SCR gate firing angle for 3 phase current balance.

Combustion characteristics of a gas generator for a 30 ton-class liquid rocket engine were studied. At the early stage of development, the combustion tests of the gas generator were performed by only using the nozzle which substitute for a turbine manifold exit. Then, the extension tube was applied between the gas generator and the nozzle for imitating the resonant mode of gas generator and turbine manifold. Finally, the hot-firing tests were performed on the condition of connecting the gas generator with the turbine manifold. In the paper, the step-by-step results such as temperature distribution and pressure fluctuations were analyzed.

Zinc gallate $(ZnGa_2O_4)$ thin film phosphors have been formed on ITO glass substrates by a sol-gel spinning coating method. For the formation of the film phosphors, the starting materials of zinc acetate dihydrate, gallium nitrate hydrate and 2-methoxyethanol as a solution were used. The thin films deposited were firstly dried at $100^{\circ}C$ and fired at $500^{\circ}C\;or\;600^{\circ}C$ for 30 min and then, annealed $500^{\circ}C\;or\;600^{\circ}C$ at for 30 min under an annealing atmosphere of 3% $H_2/Ar$. The thin films deposited on ITO glass plates showed the (220), (222), (400), (422), (511), and (440) peaks of spinel structure as well as the (311) peak indicating a standard powder diffraction pattern. The surface morphologies of the thin film phosphors were observed with a firing and an annealing condition. The $ZnGa_2O_4$ film phosphors showed the blue emission spectra around 410 nm as well as the emission spectra in the UV region (360-380 nm).

Thin fihn SnO$_{2}$ Gas Sensor was fabricated by electron-beam evaporation system and the target made by general firing method for the purpose of detecting gas components in air, especially methane gas. SnO$_{2}$ thin film was prepared on the polished alumina substrate which Pt interdigital electrode was precoated. The effects of annealing temperature and substrate temperature on the structural properties of SnO$_{2}$ thin film on glass were investigated using the X-ray diffraction. The good crystalline structure is formed when substrate temperature is 150[.deg. C] and annealing condition is 550[.deg. C], 1[hour]. And the sensing properties at various thickness of the SnO$_{2}$ thin film and the effects of PdCI$_{2}$ addition were also investigated. The good result is showed when the thickness is below 1000[.angs.] and the quantity of PdCI$_{2}$ addition is 4[wt%]. The thickness of SnO$_{2}$ thin film was measured by .alpha.-step and Elliopsometer.

Uvarovite Garnet is green pigment prepared by using $Cr_2O_3$, CaO and $SiO_2$ which are widely used in ceramic industry. The synthesis of above pigment was carried out by mixing $K_2Cr_2O_7$, $SiO_2$ and $CaCO_3$ as formulated and then firing at $1000{\sim}1200^{\circ}C$. To investigate the optimum synthesis condition of the Uvarovite Garnet. it was prepared by using CaO to replace $CaCO_3$, $CaF_2$ and $CaCl_2$. To get green brighter color, $Al^{3+}$ was substituted for $Cr^{3+}$. They were characterized by X-ray diffraction, UV-Vis spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and SEM analysis. When the pigments were applied to lime glazes (6 wt%), color parameters of Uvarovite Garnet showed the $L^*$=40.99, $a^*$=-16.23 and $b^*$=17.04.

The principal problems in development of dielectric paste materials for PDP(plasma display panel)are PbO free paste and low melting temperature. We prepared PbO free paste from glasses in the system BaO-ZnO-$B_2O_3$-$V_2O_5$. DTA, and XRD were used to characterize BaO-ZnO-$B_2O_3$-$V_2O_5$ glasses. In this present study, PbO free paste had thermal expansion of $74\times10^{-7}/^{\circ}C$, DTA softening point of $460^{\circ}C$, and firing condition of $520^{\circ}C$, 20min
