Aircraft ice protection systems are applied to the window shield, engine inlet, and wings to protect the aircraft from ice that may form on the surfaces of aircraft and sensors during operation. Icing on the aircraft can cause serious accidents by degrading the flight stability of the aircraft and by malfunctions in sensors such as the air data probe. Various types of ice protection systems have been developed for aircraft in the past. The electro-thermal type ice protection system contributes greatly to improving energy efficiency in a relatively simple structure, and has established itself as one of most popular ice protection systems for modern aircraft. In this review, two representative ice protection systems-hot-air and electro-thermal types-were intensively analyzed, and the prospect of ice protection systems was discussed based on the current status and application cases.

Thermal spraying onto the metal substrate has been widely used as a technique of the surface treatment in the various industrial field. A wide range of thermal spray technologies exist and all rely on the fundamental process of fusing a metal feedstock, atomizing it and transporting it to the surface of a substrate. Specially, these methods have been taken into account as the protection method against the corrosion. In this study, the polarization characteristics were carried out on the thermal sprayed coating layer immersed in various pH of diluted aqueous solutions at $25^{\circ}C$. Aluminum, Zinc, Ni-base alloy, alumina and polyethylene powder were used with sprayed coating materials. From the polarization curves, the electrochemical corrosion potential($E_{corr}$) and the corrosion current density($I_{corr}$) were investigated.

This paper proposes a coordinative protection study results of 22.9kV HTS(High-Temperature Superconducting) cable implemented distribution system. HTS cable can provide about 5 times larger transfer capacability compare to conventional XLPE cable, however, it has different heat characteristic so called quench. This paper presents the simulation results on Ichun substation HTS cable which connects main transformer and 22.9kV bus. Various expected fault cases are considered and discussed to examine whether conventional protection scheme is effective to protect both of existing facilities and HTS cable. With the results of simulation, conventional protection scheme can be used if instantaneous element and time inverse elements could be adjusted with proper time coordination. Internal temperatures of HTS cable conductor in safe region with proper protection without quench. This results are to be demonstrated by the field test and will be implemented in Ichon substation HTS cable protection and control system.

A steady-state margin comparison study was performed between analog and digital protection systems. The systems compared are the thermal overpower and overtemperature delta T system of Westinghouse, and Core Protection Calculator System of Combustion Engineering, Inc. No dynamic offset was considered to eliminate the margin differences by different safety analysis methodologies. The result shows that the digital protection system has about 30% more rated power margin than the analog system in protecting against the fuel rod centerline melting. The digital protection system is shown to have almost same margin with the analog protection system in preventing the DNB at EOC (End of Cycle) even if the digital protection system has about 10% more margin at BOC(Beginning of Cycle).

Carbon-based materials have been known as ablative material and have been used for thermal protection systems. Ablation is an erosive phenomenon that results in thermochemical and thermomechanical changes on materials. Ablation resistance is one of the key properties that determines performance and life-time of the thermal protection material under ablative conditions. In this study, ablation properties of graphite, 3-dimensional (C/C) composites (needle-punched type and rod type) were investigated byusing a plasma wind tunnel which produce a supersonic plasma flow from a segmented arc heater with the power level of 0.4 MW. The mass losses and surface roughness changes which contain main result of the ablation are measured. A morphological analysis ofthe carbon-based materials, before and after the ablation test, are performed through field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and non-contact 3D surface measuring system. Electronic balance and a portable surface roughness tester were used for evaluation of the recession and mass loss of the test samples.

Porous insulation have been frequently used in a number of industries by minimizing thermal insulation space because of excellent performance of their thermal insulation. This paper devices an effective thermal conductivity prediction model. First of all, we perform literature survey on traditional effective thermal conductivity prediction models and compare each other model with heat transfer experimental results. Furthermore this research defines advanced effective thermal conductivity prediction models model based on heat transfer experimental results, the Zehner-Schlunder model. Finally we verify that the newly defined effective thermal conductivity prediction model has better performance prediction than other models. Finally, this research performs a transient heat transfer analysis of thermal protection system with a porous insulation using the finite element method and confirms validity of the effective thermal conductivity prediction model.

This study is for figuring out a possibility of realization of the thermal protection system(TPS) for temporary use under high temperature condition and improving a design of the future TPS. On this purpose, environmental condition of the system has been simplified: the boundary conditions consist of a internally heating surface and a externally heated surface which is simulating the external high temperature condition. Configuration of the system is simplified as a hexahedon. Melting characteristics of the phase change material(PCM) and air temperature variation of TPS with or without connector have been numerically analyzed and compared. As a result of numerical analysis, the heat from the internally heated surface could not be effectively transferred. Therefore, temperature of inner space has been increased.
