We Investigated the current limiting characteristics of the flux-lock type superconducting fault current limiter(SFCL) by fault angles. The flux-lock type SFCL consists of the primary and the secondary copper coils wound in parallel through the iron core and YBCO thin film. In this paper, the current limiting characteristics of the flux-lock type SFCL by fault angles in case of the subtractive and the additive polarity windings were compared and analyzed. The flux-lock type SFCL limited fault current more quickly as the fault angles increased. On the other hand, the initial power burden of the superconducting element during the fault increased as the fault angles increased. In addition, we found that the resistance of the flux-lock type SFCL in case of the subtractive polarity winding was more increased than that of the additive polarity winding. The peak current of the fault current in case of the subtractive polarity winding was larger than that of the additive polarity winding.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were grown by a thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method, which has been regarded as one of the most promising candidates for the synthesis of CNTs due to low cost and high growth yield. The Ethylene $(C_2H_4)$, hydrogen $(H_2)$ and Argon(Ar) gases were used for the growth of CNTs at $700^{\circ}C$. As a catalyst for CNTs growth, Fe thin film and Iron nitrate and Molybdenyl acetylacetonate solution with alumina nano-particle were prepared on $SiO_2/Si$ substrate. The growth properties of CNTs were analyzed by SEM and AFM.

Line scan camera has been widely used in the area of inspection of glass, film, fabric, iron, PCB and etc. due to the high resolution and the high speed. We developed the line scan based vision system to inspect tangled and cut-off status of yarn in the manufacturing process. The original image is binarized with a proper threshold, and the gap distances in the yarn are measured in real time, so finally the status of the process is decided by the maximum value of the gap distance. All procedures are executed in real time by realization of multi-processed threads. By implementation of this system, the error of the yarn in manufacturing process can be precedently monitored and the loss of the yarn is decreased efficiently.

Blast furnace slag presents coarse surface for microbes to grow on and high calcium and magnesium contents to neutralize acid to be produced during anaerobic digestion. Also, slag contains aluminum and iron oxides which would promote biological flocculation, and minerals which would stimulate microbial growth. Acid wastes like dairy waste, carbohydrate waste, sanitary landfill leachate and molases wastes were applied without neutralization to laboratory reactors to examine the applicability of blast furnace slag as media. The study results indicated slag media was effective to neutralize pH and maintain microbial population in the system. Particularly, COD removal efficiency was greater than those from plastic media operations treating dairy waste at higher loading rates.

Damage to the cylinder liner of large ship engines, such as scuffing on the surface, can occur very easily because it is operated in a corrosive environment. This scuffing may be due to oil film destruction and corrosive wear caused by water and sulfur included in the fuel, abrasive impurities, and poor lubricants. Thus, a method for monitoring the condition and diagnosing the failure of the cylinder liner and piston ring is needed. In this study, a reciprocating friction and wear test was carried out with a cast iron specimen, which simulated an engine cylinder in a corrosive atmosphere. The lubricants used were base oil, stirred oil with distilled water, a NaCl solution, and dilute sulfuric acid. The friction coefficient and frequency spectrum were measured using a load cell and acceleration sense in each experimental condition. We then used these results to diagnose the failure of the cylinder liner.

First, in this study, the inhibition efficiencies of metal complexes with Cu(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II) of STSC ligand for corrosion control of mild steel in oilfield formation water were investigated. The IEs for a mixture of 500 ppm STSC and 5 ppm metal ion ($Cu^{+2}$, $Ni^{+2}$, $Zn^{+2}$) were found to be 88.77, 87.96 and 85.13 %, respectively. The results were obtained from the electrochemical techniques such as open circuit potential, linear and tafel polarization methods. The polarization studies have showed that all used Schiff base metal complexes are anodic inhibitors. The protective film has been analyzed by FTIR technique. Also, to detect the presence of the iron-inhibitor complex, UV-Visible spectral analysis technique was used. The inhibitive effect was attributed to the formation of insoluble complex adsorbed on the mild steel surface and the adsorption process follows Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The surface morphology has been analyzed by SEM. Secondly, the computational studies of the ligand and its metal complexes were performed using DFT (B3LYP) method with the $6-311G^{{\ast}{\ast}}$ basis set. Finally, it is found that the experimental results were closely related to theoretical ones.

In this work, a metal-ligand solution (Cu-EDTA) was prepared based on the molecular precursor method and the solution was spin-coated onto 3D printed flexible photosensitive resin sheets. After being processed by microwave, a laser with a wavelength of 355 nm was utilized to scan the spin-coated sheets and then the sheets were immersed in an electroless copper plating solution to deposit copper wires. With the help of microwave processing, the adhesion between copper wires and substrate was improved which should result from the increase of roughness, decrease of contact angle and the consistent orientation of coated film according to the results of 3D profilometer and SEM. XPS results showed that copper seeds formed after laser scanning. Using the 3D printed flexible sheets as cathode and galvanized iron as anode, electrochemical machining was conducted.

Iron-doped $Sn_{1-x}Fe_xO_2$ (x = 0.0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.33) thin films on Si(100) substrates and powders were prepared by a chemical solution process. The x-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns of the $Sn_{1-x}Fe_xO_2$ thin films and powders showed a polycrystalline rutile tetragonal structure. Thermo gravimetric (TG) - differential thermal analysis (DTA) showed the final weight loss above $430{^{\circ}C}$ for all powder samples. According to XRD Rietveld refinement of the powders, the lattice parameters and unit cell volume decreased with increasing Fe content. The magnetic properties were characterized using a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and M$\ddot{o}$ssbauer spectroscopy. The thin film samples with x = 0.1 and 0.2 showed paramagnetic properties but thin films with x = 0.33 exhibited ferromagnetic properties at room temperature. Mossbauer studies revealed the $Fe^{3+}$ valence state in the samples. The ferromagnetism in the samples can be interpreted in terms of the direct ferromagnetic coupling of ferric ions via an electron trapped in a bridging oxygen deficiency, which can be explained using the F-center exchange model.

The preparation and characterization of photosemiconductive electrodes of GaAs and of $Fe_2O_3$ doped with MgO or CaO were investigated. The doped $Fe_2O_3$ photosemiconductive electrodes were prepared from thin films sintered at temperatures from 1,100 to $1,450^{\circ}C$, and rapidly quenched in distilled water. The surfaces of the electrodes containing both corundum structure of $Fe_2O_3$ and spinel structure of $Mg_xFe_{3-x}O_4$ or $Ca_xFe_{3-x}O_4$ were analyzed by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The cathodic and anodic photocurrents on these electrodes indicated a critical doping amount of 5-11 wt. %. The photocurrents were enhanced when GaAs electrodes were treated with methylene violet the anodic photo-currents were temporarial enhanced and changed to the cathodic ptotocurrents after the surface was dryed.

Forest of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) was grown at $450^{\circ}C$ by water-plasma chemical vapor deposition using ultrathin iron on alumina supporting film. The growth rate of the SWNT forest is ${\sim}0.9\;{\mu}m/min$, and the diameters of nanotubes are mainly in a range of 3.0 ~ 3.5 nm. The low intensity ratio of D- to G-band ($I_D/I_G$ ~ 0.098) in Raman spectra indicates that our SWNT forest grown at $450^{\circ}C$ is fairly pure and crystalline. This low temperature growth of SWNT forest may enable variable applications requiring the vertically-aligned nanotubes to obtain large surface area.
