  • Thanks to the great development of technology in radiation, we are now able to reduce radiation exposure to the patients, and the radiographer and expenses in medical sector. We are also trying to produce ideal images which maintain useful information. These kinds of effort are increasing over the world. For that reason, we should get images which include necessary data of patients. Then it also can help to reduce radiation exposure to the patients. Therefore, we need to know the problems that cause a falling off in image's quality and check on generator in case of their electronic and mechanical errors. And moreover, we should anticipate the possibility of devices errors and prevent them with regular quality control. This investigation was conducted in medical institutions, institute of educations and hospitals. They are all in Seongnam-City. We used PMX-III, kVp meter to implement kVp test, mR / mAs output test, light fiel / beam alignment test, Reproducibility of exposure dose, half value layer test, reproducibility of exposure time test. in the case of hospitals, they perceive the importance of regular quality control and organize the regular quality control team so they can be satisfied with the error standard in most experiments. On the other hand, when it comes to medical institutions and institute of educations, they perceive the importance of regular quality control less than hospitals do. Radiographer need to understand the importance of regular quality control and practice it so they can get the fine ideal image with the lower dose to the patient.

  • The fundamental experiments for measuring soft x-ray characteristics from the vacuum capillary are described. These experiments were primarily performed in order to generate line spectra such as x-ray lasers. The generator consists of a high-voltage power supply, a polarity-inversion ignitron pulse generator, a turbo-molecular pump, and a radiation tube with a capillary. A high-voltage condenser of 200 nF in the pulse generator is charged up to 20 kV by the power supply, and the electric charges in the condenser are discharged to the capillary in the tube after closing the ignitron. During the discharge, weakly ionized plasma forms on the inner and outer sides of a capillary. In the present work, the pump evacuates air from the tube with a pressure of about 1 mPa, and a demountable capillary was developed in order to measure x-ray spectra according to changes in the capillary length. In this capillary, the anode (target) and cathode elements can be changed corresponding to the objectives. The capillary diameter is 2.0 mm, and the length is adjusted from 1 to 50 mm. When a capillary with aluminum anode and cathode electrodes was employed, both the cathode voltage and the discharge current almost displayed damped oscillations. The peak values of the voltage and current increased when the charging voltage was increased, and their maximum values were -10.8 kV and 4.7 kA, respectively. The x-ray durations observed by a 1.6 ${\mu}$m aluminum filter were less than 30 ${\mu}$s, and we detected the aluminum characteristic x-ray intensity using a 6.8 ${\mu}$m aluminum filter. In the spectrum measurement, two sets of aluminum and titanium electrodes were employed, and we observed multi-line spectra. The line photon energies seldom varied according to changes in the condenser charging voltage and to changes in the electrode element. In the case where the titanium electrode was employed, the line number decreased with corresponding decreases in the capillary length. Compared with incoherent visible light, these rays from the capillary were diffracted and diffused greatly after passing through two slits.

  • The application of renewable energy in electric power systems is growing rapidly in order to make provision for the inequality of the climate, the dwindling supplies of coal, oil and natural gas and a further rise in oil prices. Solar cell generators(SCG) is one of the fastest growing renewable energy. This paper presents a methodology on probabilistic production cost simulation of a power system including SCGs. The generated power by SCGs is variable due to the random variation of solar radiation. In order to solve this problem, the SCGs is modeled as multi-state operational model in this paper. Probabilistic production cost of a power system can be calculated by proposed method considering SCGs with multi-state. The results show that the impacts of SCGs added to a power system can be analyzed in view point of production cost using the proposed method.

  • Renewable energy resources such as wind, wave, solar, micro hydro, tidal and biomass etc. are becoming importance stage by stage because of considering effect of the environment. Solar energy is one of the most successful sources of renewable energy for the production of electrical energy following wind energy. And, the solar/photovoltaic cell generators can not make two-state model as conventional generators, but should be modeled as multi-state model due to solar radiation random variation. The method of obtaining reliability evaluation index of solar cell generators is different from the conventional generators. This paper presents a basic study on reliability evaluation of power system considering solar cell generators with multi-states.

  • The purpose of this work is to predict the low frequency aero-acoustic noise generated from the horizontal axis wind turbine, NREL Phase VI using large eddy simulation and Ffowcs-Williams and Hawkings model provided in the commercial code, FLUENT. Calculated aerodynamic performances such as shaft torque and power are compared with experimentally measured value. Performance results show a good agreement with experimental data within about 0.8%. If the distance by two times is changed from 32D to 64D toward the downstream region, sound pressure level is reduced by about 6.4dB.

  • HRSG, which is one of main components of the combined cycle power plant,is composed of an inlet duct, a main body and casing, an outlet duct and a stack. It is important to design HRSG wihtin the allowable noise limit. For this purpose, it is necessary to analyze and predict the noise reduction and radiation at HRSG. In this paper, the technology for the noise prediction at each part of HRSG has been based on the empirical and field data, and also the HRSG noise prediction program has been developed. In order to verify the developed technology and program a field test is conducted. The results of noise prediction show good agreement with the measured.

  • PD pulses have about one nanosecond rise time in the $SF_6$ gas insulation. These pulses propagate through GIS chamber to PD sensors in the form of the electromagnetic radiation. In this paper, we investigated the characteristics of disc sensors and monopole antenna, by putting high frequency signals into the test cell in $SF_6$ gas by means of a Ins rise time pulse generator and 60Hz power supply respectively. Also, we measured PD quantity from the needle electrode and the location effect of output terminal beneath the disk sensors.

  • 본 연구는 온실 운영에 필요한 전력량을 확보함으로서 온실경영비 절감을 목적으로 태양광발전시스템을 온실에 인접한 건물의 옥상에 설치하여 일사량에 따른 발전량을 실험적으로 검토하였다. 연구결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 실험기간 동안 수평면 일사량의 최대, 평균 및 최소값은 각각 $26.1MJ{\cdot}m^{-2}$, $14.0MJ{\cdot}m^{-2}$$0.6MJ{\cdot}m^{-2}$ 정도였고, 일일 전력량은 각각 약 6.1kWh, 3.7kWh 및 0.01kWh 이었다. 그리고 누계 일사량과 전력량은 각각 약 $4,378.2MJ{\cdot}m^{-2}$ 및 1,163.2kWh 정도이었다. 그리고 부하에 의해 소비된 적산전력량의 최대, 평균 및 최소값은 각각 4.5kWh, 2.4kWh 및 0.0kWh 정도이었고, 누계전력량은 739.2kWh 정도로서 발생 전력량의 약 63.5%에 해당하였다. 본 실험에 사용된 시스템의 평균 소비전력량을 기준으로 보면, 온풍기의 용량 및 작동시간이 작은 경우는 충분하지만 큰 경우는 부족한 것으로 나타났다. 어레이 표면온도가 상대적으로 높아지면 일사량에 비례해서 발생 전력이 증가하지 않은 것으로 나타났지만, 두 인자 간에 상관계수는 0.851 정도로서 상관관계가 높은 것으로 나타났다.

  • 온열요법은 암치료에 있어서 방사선과 병용하였을 때 상호보완 작용을 하여 방사선에 저항성이 높은 세포주기의 S-기에 민감하게 작용하며 세포의 준치사손상의 회복을 저지시킴으로써 방사선의 효과를 상승시킬 수 있다. 저자는 100Watt, 2450MHz의 마이크로파 온열기구를 제작하고 조직등가인 판톰을 이용하여 예비측정과 방열조사 조건 및 방법을 계획한 후 생물학적 반응을 관찰하기 위하여 흰쥐 102마리를 이용하여 온열요법, X-선조사 (6Gy-15Gy) 및 선 조사와 온열요법을 병행하여 직장과 방광의 조직학적 소견을 관찰하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1) 100Watt, 2450MHz의 소형마이코로파 온열발생장치로서 조직을 $40{\sim}50^{\circ}C$로 유지하여 1시간 이상 가열할 수 있었다. 2) 조직온열분포는 깊이 3cm, 직명 2-10cm의 넓이에 $40{\sim}44^{\circ}C$의 온도분포를 계속 유지할 수 있었다. 3) 온열요법 단독으로는 직장의 점막하층의 부종을 볼 수 있었으나 방광의 조직학적 변화는 볼 수 없었다. 4) 점막상피괴사는 직장에 X-선조사 6Gy의 15일군에서, 방광에 8Gy의 15일군에서 각각 나타나기 시작하였으며, 근층괴사는 직장에 X-선조사 8Gy의 15일군에서, 방광에 10Gy의 60일군에서 각각 나타났다. 5) X-선조사와 온열요법병행군에서 직장과 방광의 조직학적변화 (점막과 근층의 괴사)를 관찰하여 열증강율은 1.0으로 증가되지 않음으로서 직장과 방광의 내용선량의 변화가 없음을 시사하였다.

  • 상강화기는 형광 영상장치에서 영상의 특성을 결정하는 주된 요소이다. 본 연구는 두가지의 상강화기를 임상에서 평가하기 위하여 간단하고 비파괴적이며 적당한 시간내에 행할 수 있는 계의 활동 프로그램을 제시하였다. 이 프로그램은 크게 세 부분 즉, X-선 발생장치, 영상의 질, 조준으로 되어있다. X-선의 발생장치에 대하여 관전압의 정확도와 자동노출 조절기능을 비교하였다. 영상의 질을 위해서는 저대비 및 고대비 분해능 측정, 체격자 실험 등을 수행하였으며 이 실험에서는 비디오 모니터 및 순간영상을 필름화한 정량적인 분석을 분석하였다. 조준에 대해서는 상강화기의 유용한 영역의 직경과 상의 찌그러짐을 측정하고 정량적인 분석을 하였다. 이 실험들의 과정 및 결과들이 상강화기의 인수검사 및 계의 활동지수를 평가하는데 이용되기를 바란다.
