The non-thermal pasteurization of foods using High Voltage High Current Pulsed Electric Fields (HVHC-PEF) is a promising technology and a sound complement or replacement to traditional thermal pasteurization. The conventional thermal method also inactivates bacteria and other microorganisms harmful to humans, but degrades natural color, flavor, texture and nutrients. At this point, a nonthermal pasteurization technique, HVPEF is thought to be a new processing technique which is able to produce a good quality foods nutritional as well as sensuous. In this paper, the system for HVHC-PEF pasteurization is presented. It use square wave pulse instead of exponential ones. So, power rating of system is reduced considerably. Design considerations for 20kV 500A class equipment are analyzed and experimental results are discussed.

In recent, there are many report about nonthermal disinfection using electorlyzed water, Also, foodborne illnesses associated with pathogenic bacteria such as Listeria monocytogenes and Escherichia coli O157:H7 have raised concerns about the adequacy of disinfectants (Kim et at., 2000). Foodborne pathogens in vegetables and kitchen apparatus are not easy to disinfect but also hard to use chemical compounds for disinfection. (omitted)

An indoor air cleaner consisting of a dielectric barrier discharge system and an electrostatic precipitator (ESP) was experimentally investigated. The function of the dielectric barrier discharge is to precharge particles by producing nonthermal plasma before indoor air enters ESP, leading to an enhancement in dust collection efficiency. The dependence of particle size distribution on the plasma discharge was examined to understand the mechanism of the particle precharging. The plasma discharge was found to increase the electrical force of the particles, rather than agglomerate them. Coarse particles in the range of 0.5 to $5.0{\mu}m$ were observed to be easily collected by this indoor air cleaner, and the present study laid emphasis on the removal of fine particles of $0.3{\mu}m$. The collection efficiency of the fine particles was largely enhanced by the plasma discharge.

A combined process of non-thermal plasma and catalytic technique has been investigated to treat $CH_3$CN gas in the atmosphere. A planar type dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) reactor has been used to generate the non-thermal plasma that produces various chemically active species, such as O, N, OH, $O_3$, ion, electrons, etc. Several different types of the beads. which are Molecular Sieve (MS) 5A, MS 13X, Pt/alumina beads, are packed into the DBD reactor, and have been tested to characterize the effects of adsorption and catalytic process on treating the $CH_3$CN gas in the DBD reactor. The test results showed that the operating power consumption and the amounts of the by-products of the non-thermal plasma process can be reduced by the assistance of the adsorption and catalytic process.

Shock waves are ubiquitous in astrophysical environments. In particular, shocks formed by merger of subclumps, infall of matter and internal flow motion in intracluster media (ICMs) and cluster outskirts are relatively weak with Mach number M ${\lesssim}$ a few. At such weak shocks, it has been believed that the diffusive shock acceleration (DSA) of cosmic rays is rather inefficient. Yet, the presence of nonthermal phenomena, such as radio halos and relics, suggests that contrary to the expectation, DSA as well as magnetic field amplification should operate at weak shocks in cluster environments. We recently initiated a study of weak, collisionless, astrophysical shocks using a PIC(Particle-in-Cell) code. The PIC code describes the motion of electron and ion particles under the electromagnetic field which is represented in grid zones. Here, we present a preliminary work of one-dimensional simulations. We show how shocks are set up as the turbulent electromagnetic field is developed in the shock transition layer, and discuss the implication on DSA and magnetic field amplification.

We proposed a method for synthesized nanoparticle trapping in capacitively coupled plasma (CCP) reactor. The nanoparticle in nonthermal plasma can be negatively charged by a charged particle in plasma. Thus, it can be placed between sheath and bulk plasma with zero net force on nanoparticle. However, synthesized nanoparticle can be pumped out due to the neutral drag force when the large size of sheath thickness. We try to make a potential well using the sheath for trapping the synthesized nanoparticle.

The solar wind electrons are made of three or four distinct components, which are core Maxwellian background, isotropic halo, and super-halo (and sometimes, highly field-aligned strahl component which can be considered as a fourth element). We put forth a steady-state model for the solar wind electrons by considering both the steady-state particle and wave kinetic equations. Since the steady-state solar wind electron VDFs and the steady-state wave fluctuation spectrum are related to each other, we also investigate the complete fluctuation spectra in the whistler and Langmuir frequency ranges by considering halo- and superhalo-like model electron VDFs. It is found that the energetic electrons make important contributions to the total emission spectrum. Based on this, we complete the steady-state model by considering both the whistler and Langmuir fluctuations. In particular, the Langmuir fluctuation plays an important role in the formation and maintenance of nonthermal electrons.

저온 플라즈마 연료개질 장치를 개발하여 여러 운전인자가 그 성능에 미치는 영향을 조사하였고 생성된 수소농후 개질가스를 무부하(Idle) 상태의 디젤엔진에 연소용 공기와 같이 주입하여 NO와 매연 저감효율에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다 전력 소모량이 증가할수록 개질반응의 점화가 더욱 용이하였으나 $H_2$ 농도, $H_2$ 수율, 에너지 전환율과 같은 저온 플라즈마 연료개질 장치의 성능은 O/C 비에 의해서만 영향을 받았는데 그 이유는 평형 반응온도가 O/C 비에 의하여 결정되기 때문이다. 저온 플라즈마 연료개질 장치에서의 $H_2$ 수율과 에너지 전환율은 O/C 비가 증가함에 따라 O/C 비가 $1.2{\sim}1.5$에서 33.4%와 66%의 최고값을 통과하였다. $H_2$ 수율과 에너지 전환율이 O/C 비가 $1.2{\sim}1.5$ 이하인 범위에서 O/C 비가 증가함에 따라 증가하는 이유는 O/C 비가 높아짐에 따라 완전 산화반응이 충분히 일어나서 반응온도가 높아지기 때문으로 보인다. O/C비가 $1.2{\sim}1.5$ 이상인 범위에서 O/C 비가 증가함에 따라 $H_2$ 수율과 에너지 전환율이 감소하는 현상은 과잉산소 조건에서 완전산화반응이 더욱 촉진되어 $H_2$ 수율과 에너지 전환율이 감소하였기 때문으로 보인다. 무부하 상태의 디젤엔진에 개질가스를 주입시 개질된 디젤/총디젤 무게비가 $18.2{\sim}23.5%$까지 증가할 때 NO저감효율과 매연제거효율은 각각 68.8%와 55.5%까지 증가하였다.

We have generated the needle-typed nonthermal plasma jet by using an Ar gas flow at atmospheric pressure. Diagnostics of electron temperature anddensity is critical factors in optimization of the atmospheric plasma jet source in accordance with the gas flow rate. We have investigated the electron temperature and density of plasma jet by selecting the four metastable Ar emission lines based on the atmospheric collisional radiative model and radial profile characteristics of current density, respectively. The averaged electron temperature and electron density for this plasma jet are found to be ~1.6 eV and ~$3.2{\times}10^{12}cm^{-3}$, respectively, in this experiment. The densities of OH radical species inside the various bio-solutions are found to be higher by about 4~9 times than those on the surface when the argon bioplasma jet has been bombarded onto the bio-solution surface. The densities of the OH radicalspecies inside the DI water, DMEM, and PBS are measured to be about $4.3{\times}10^{16}cm^{-3}$, $2.2{\times}10^{16}cm^{-3}$, and $2.1{\times}10^{16}cm^{-3}$, respectively, at 2 mm downstream from the surface under optimized Ar gas flow 250 sccm.

Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactbacillus brevis, Leuconostoc mesenteroids, Pediococcus pentosaceus를 대상으로 하여 광펄스 처리에 따른 미생물의 영향에 대하여 검토하였다. 광원에 인가하는 전압의 세기를 15-25 kV로 하고 $2500\;{\mu}s$ 이내의 처리시간으로 젖산균 세포를 광 펄스 처리하였을 경우 빛의 세기가 증가할수록 사멸 속도와 사멸율이 증가하였으며, $1500\;{\mu}s$ 처리후에는 빛의 세기에 상관없이 7 log 정도의 동일한 사멸율을 나타내었다. 빛의 세기 25 kV에서 광원과 시료 표면의 거리를 60, 85, 110, 135 mm으로 변화를 주어 처리한 결과 광원과 시료 표면과의 거리가 가까울수록 높은 살균율을 나타내었다. 광펄스 처리시 시료 표면의 온도 상승은 $5^{\circ}C$ 미만으로 거의 나타나지 않았다. 광펄스 처리후 투과 전자 현미경으로 형태적인 변화를 관찰한 결과 광펄스 처리를 한 세포는 처리하지 않은 세포에 비해 세포내 물질이 상당 부분 손실되었으며, 일부 세포막과 세포벽에 손상이 일어났음을 알 수 있었다.
