The dish type solar thermal concentrating system can collect the solar energy above $800^{\circ}C$. It has a concentration ratio of 800 and total reflector area of $49m^2$. To operate solar receivers at high temperature, the optimum aperture size is obtained from a comparison between maximizing absorbed energy and minimizing thermal losses. The system efficiency is defined as the absorbed energy by working fluid in receiver divided by the energy coming from the concentrator. We find that system efficiency is stable in case of flow rate of above 6lpm. The system efficiency are 64.9% and 65.7% in flow rate of 6lpm and 8lpm, respectively. The thermal performance showed that the maximum efficiency and the factor of thermal loss in flow rate of 8lpm are 68% and 0.0508.

An experimental study on energy density distributions produced by dish solar concentrating system was performed to optimally design and rightly position a cavity receiver. This deemed also very useful to find and correct various errors associated with a concentrator. It is observed that the actual focal length is 2.17 m with a maximum energy density of 1.89 MW/$m^2$. By evaluating the position of flux centroid, it was found that there are errors within 2 cm from the target center. As a result of the percent power within radius, approximately 90% of the incident radiation is intercepted by about 0.06 m radius. The area concentration ratio normalized to 800 W/$m^2$ insolation and 90% mirror reflectivity was 347 suns. The total integrated power of 2467 W was measured under focal flux distributions, which corresponds to the intercept rate of 85.8%.

Steam reforming of methane using Xe-arc solar simulator was studied for the application of concentrated solar energy into chemical reaction. The reactor, a volumetric absorber, consisted of a porous ceramic foam disk coated with commercial reforming catalyst. Operating temperature was in the range of $450\;-\;550^{\circ}C$ and the excess steam ratio to methane was from 3.0 to 5.0. At the steady-state condition, the conversion of methane Increased with temperature in the range of 15 % - 30 % and the experimentally determined conversion was found to be close to theoretical equilibrium conversion. It was also found that the CO selectivity slightly decreased with excess steam ratio. Finally, the conversion of methane decreased significantly with space velocity of reactants.

본 논문에서는 pHEMT(pseudo-morphic High Electron Mobility Transistor)로 구성된 저잡음 증폭기 MMIC(Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit)를 이용하여 극저온에서 동작하는 전파 망원경 수신기 전단부용 22 GH2 대역 저잡음 증폭기 모듈을 설계, 제작하였다. pHEMT MMIC 선정에는, 극저온에서의 동작이 입증된 pHEMT 공정을 사용하여 제작된 저잡음 증폭기 MMIC를 선택하였다. 선정된 2개의 MMIC는 박막(thin film) 세라믹 기판에 장착하여 모듈화 하였다. 모듈화 시 하우징(housing)과 캐리어(carrier) 사이의 간극을 제거하고 전파 흡수체를 사용하여 불필요한 구조에 의한 발진을 제거하였다. 또한 커넥터와 기판 사이의 부정합으로 나타나는 잡음 및 이득의 열화를 리본 조정을 통해 개선시켜 상온에서 최적의 성능을 가지도록 했다. 제작된 증폭기 모듈은 상온에서 $21.5{\sim}23.5GHz$ 대역 내 이득 $35dB{\pm}1dB$, 잡음지수 $2.37{\sim}2.57dB$를 보였다. 제작된 증폭기는 헬륨 냉각기를 이용하여 $15^{\circ}K$로 냉각 후 측정 결과, 대역 내에서 이득 35 dB 이상, 잡음온도 $28{\sim}37^{\circ}K$를 얻었다.
