Water wall tube is one of the major factors consisting of a fluidized bed boiler and it plays very important role for the generation of electricity within the boiler. But these water wall tubes within the fluidized bed boiler are subject to the ware and corrosion caused by the high temperature gas and the flowing medium. If water leak is occurred, the secondary damage by the water leak will occur. As a result of that, the power generation efficiency decreases noticeably. Therefore, the maintenance of the water wall tube is very important. In this study, we designed a exciter sensor based on simulation and composed a remote field eddy current system for the defect evaluation of the outer water wall tube. Starting from the shape design of exciter, we conducted simulations for various design factors such as the water wall tube size, material, frequency, lift-off and so on. Based on the results, we designed the optimum exciter sensor for the water wall tube test within the fluidized bed boiler.

The task of chemical spraying has been seriously considered as an irritating and annoying job for Korean rice farmers. An agricultural unmanned helicopter was suggested to solve this problem so as the farmers to have more decent farming condition. The objectives of this study were to analyze the adoptability of an experimental rotor blade (SW05) using the CFD simulation and also to compare the simulation results with experimental results. The simulation results showed that the induced power of this rotor reached to $57{\sim}63%$ of total power and the profile power was about $37{\sim}43%$ of total power. Therefore it can be concluded that this rotor's performance characteristics were not so efficient for the size of unmanned helicopter due to the low induced power and high profile power relatively compared with ones of conventional rotors. The comparison with experimental results showed that the tested lifts were less than 70% of simulated ones at the grip pitch of $12^{\circ}$ and decreased to 40% at the $18^{\circ}$ grip pitch. Therefore, it can be concluded that the rotor was too oversized to be used for a 15.4 kW (21 PS) engine.

Flow induced vibration in a heat exchanger may cause damage to piping. The purpose of this study was to compare the characteristics of vortex shedding behavior through the circular tube banks at several tube locations, No.1, No. 10, and No. 19, with respect to time when the flow velocity of the inlet is constantly and periodically fluctuating.(60) The time characteristics of lift and the PSD characteristics were also investigated. In the case of periodic inlet flow velocity, strong vortex occurred at some time and after that time, a weak vortex was generated through the tube banks simultaneously. In the case of constant inlet flow velocity, the lift fluctuating frequency was 37.25Hz and that at the No. 19 tube was 18.63Hz and near 50Hz. In the case of periodic inlet flow velocity, the lift fluctuating frequency was 37.25Hz and 18.63Hz. The lift fluctuating frequency at No. 19 tube was observed broadly from 20Hz and 50Hz.

The flow-induced vibration in a heat exchanger may cause the damage to piping. Therefore, it is necessary to establish the flow induced vibration characteristics for the structural stability of a heat exchanger. The purpose of this study was to compare the generation, development, and separation characteristics of a vortex around a circular tube with respect to time when the flow velocity of the inlet was fluctuating constantly and periodically. The time characteristics of lift and drag and the PSD characteristics were also investigated. In the case of a constant inlet flow velocity, the well-known Kalman vorticity distribution was shown. The vortex generation, growth, and separation were also observed alternately at the upper and lower sides of the tube. In the case of periodic inlet flow velocity, the vortex occurred simultaneously in the upper and lower sides of the tube. In the case of constant inlet flow velocity, the magnitude of the lift PSD was 500 times larger than that of drag. The frequency was 31.15 Hz and that of drag was doubled at 62.3 Hz. In case of a periodic inlet flow velocity, the PSD of the drag was approximately 500 times larger than that of lift. The frequency was 15.57 Hz, which was the same as the inlet-flow velocity frequency. In addition, the frequency of lift was 31.15 Hz, which was the same Karman vortex frequency.

In this paper, we deal with three types of modelling method for the analysis of galloping in power transmission line (PTL). The single mass model is obtained under linearization method and it is applied into f-order model. On these models, the nature frequencies of PTL are obtained and it makes an effects on the galloping directly. In simulation, we verify that the maximum magnitude of nature frequency depends on the galloping distance of PTL. Also from the analysis of frequency response, a few of reduction method for galloping are introduced which is effected by distance of PTL, wind velocity and icing types.

We report the experimental resutls on AlGaAs/GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) with carbon-doped base structure. To characterize the output power, load-pull mehtod was employed. By characterizing the devices with HP8510C, we extracted the small-signal equivalent circuit. The HBTs were fabricated employing wet mesa etching and lift-off process of ohmic metals. the implementation of polyimide into the fabriction process was accomplished to obtain the lower dielectric constant resultig in significant reduction of interconnect routing capacitance. The fabricated HBTs with an emitter area of 6${\times}14{\mu}m^{2}$ exhibited current gain of 45, BV$_{CEO}$ of 10V, cut-off frequency of 30GHz and power gain of 1 3dBm. To extract the small signal equivalent circuit, the de-embedded method was applied for parasitic parameters and the calculation of circuit equations for intrinsic parameters.

The optimum design and the performance analysis software called POSEIDON for the HAWT (Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine) was developed by use of BEMT. The Prandtl's tip loss theory was adopted to consider the blade tip loss. The aerodynamic characteristics of NACA 63415 airfoils were predicted via X-FOIL and the post stall characteristics were estimated by the Viterna's equations. All the predicted aerodynamic characteristics are fairly well agreed with the Velux wind tunnel test results. The rated power of the testing rotor is 5kW at design conditions. The power, estimated by use of predicted lift and drag coefficient via X-FOIL becomes a little higher than experimental one.

Even though the differential drag type machines of the vertical wind turbines are a bit less efficient than the lift type machines such as Darrieus type machines, they have an advantage of low starting torque. The flapping blade type wind turbine is a specific type of the differential drag machines, and it has no need for orientation as well as quite low starting torque. This work is to develop an innovative 5kW class flapping type vertical wind turbine system which will be applicable to a hybrid power generation system driven by the diesel engine and the wind turbine. The parametric study was carried out to decide an optimum aerodynamic configuration of the wind turbine blade. In order to evaluate the designed blade, the subscale wind tunnel test and the performance test were carried out, and their test results were compared with the analysis results.

신재생에너지의 보급 확산과 전력수요의 증가에 따라 전력계통이 분산화되는 추세이며 이에 따라 배전계통의 안정화를 위한 전력계통 안정화 장치(Power System Stabilizer)로 그 사용이 확대되고 있는 추세이다. 따라서 대표적인 전력계통 안정화 장치인 정지형 무효전력보상장치(SVC: Staic Var Compensator)에 대한 다양한 토폴로지로 개발되고 있다. 또한 기술의 트랜드는 SVC에서 Statcom 기술 개발로 이어지고 있다. 최근 Statcom의 변환손실 및 경제적 단점을 극복하기 위해 Statcom과 SVC를 병렬로 사용하는 Hybrid 방식에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 SVC 기능에서 TCC(Thyristor Controlled Capacitor)방식에서 문제가 되는 돌입전류 제한을 위한 새로운 Soft-Step Switching 방식을 제안한다. 또한 Statcom의 용량을 줄이기 위해 SVC용 무효전력 보상 리액터 및 콘덴서 군을 설계하였다.
