In this paper the design of the discharge cleaning system for KSTAR vacuum vessel is described. We first discuss about the parameters which are related the efficiency of discharge cleaning. The RG(RF-assisted Glow) discharge which has the ignition and sustain pressure lower than those in the case of DC discharge, thus has the higher efficiency of discharge cleaning. So we adopt the RG discharge, in practical design, for KSTAR discharge cleaning system. For uniformity of the cleaning effect, we plan to install two discharge cleaning systems in A- and I-port of the KSTAR vacuum vessel. The designed system will be adapted for the study of the fuel recycling and of the boronization as well as the discharge cleaning of the KSTAR vacuum vessel.

Both motion of free metallic particles from which most GIS internal failures are caused and partial discharges from the particles were examined using EHV GIS test chamber. Effects from particle length and gas pressure which are main factors to lead to breakdown failure were investigated theoretically and experimentally. Magnitude of both lift-off voltage and partial discharge inception voltage were measured respectively and, through these measurements, this paper showed the possibility of predicting breakdown fault and of taking action to prevent the fault in advance. The measurement of partial discharge when the particles began to move could be adopted to decide minimum sensitivity in developing predictive diagnostic equipments. Both the amount of apparent discharge and real discharge in GIS were examined theoretically and experimentally, then experimental results were analyzed on the basis of the theory.

In this paper, a relationship between AC discharge progress and the radiated electromagnetic waves was investigated by measuring electromagnetic waves using a biconical antenna and a spectrum analyzer. The frequency spectrum of the radiated electromagnetic waves were measured at the atmospheric pressure in liquid nitrogen($LN_2$) during partial discharges progressed by AC high voltage in nonuniform electric field. Front the results of this study, a new method was introduced for measurement and analysis of the radiated electromagnetic waves with discharge progress in $LN_2$ Besides. according to the consideration of the mutual relation between frequency spectrum of the radiated electromagnetic waves and discharge progress, it was confirmed that detecting partial discharge and estimating discharge progress could be possible. It is considered that these results obtained from this investigation may be used as fundamental data for diagnosis and prediction of electric insulations about superconducting and cryogenic power equipments.

The effect of a small discharge on the A.C (60Hz) breakdown characteristics in SF6 gas has been studied. Various experiments were investigated while varying distance of the rod-plane electrode, the gas pressure, and the magnitude of the small discharge current. Also, the position of the discharge path was observed for the purpose of evident investigation. As the results of this study, authors clarified the shifting mechanism of the position of discharge path with the ratio Rn (E/N distribution at a certain higher tempera-ture due to the small discharge current to E/N distribution at room temperature, E:electric field strength, N:particle number density). Also, the reason for the reduction of the A.C. breakdown voltage was investigated in the presence of a small discharge current.

In this study, optical emission spectroscopy was used to monitor the plasma produced during the RF magnetron sputtering of a $BaTiO_3$ target. The intensities of chemical species were measured by real time monitoring with various discharge parameters such as RF power, pressure, and discharge gas. The emission lines of elemental and ionized species from $BaTiO_3$ and Ti targets were analyzed to evaluate the film composition and the optimized growth conditions for $BaTiO_3$ films. The emissions from Ar(I, II), Ba(I, II) and Ti(I) were found during sputtering of the $BaTiO_3$ target in Ar atmosphere. With increasing RF power, all the line intensities increased because the electron density increased with increasing RF power. When the Ar pressure increased, the Ba(II) and Ti(I) line intensity increased, but the $Ar^+$ line intensity decreased with increasing pressure. This result shows that high pressure is of greater benefit for the ionization of Ba than for that of Ar. Oxygen depressed the intensity of the plasma more than Ar did. When the Ar/$O_2$ ratio decreased, the intensity of Ba decreased more sharply than that of Ti. This result indicates that the plasma composition strongly depends on the discharge gas atmosphere. When the oxygen increased, the Ba/Ti ratio and the thickness of the films decreased. The emission spectra showed consistent variation with applied power to the Ti target during co-sputtering of the $BaTiO_3$ and Ti targets. The co-sputtered films showed a Ba/Ti ratio of 1.05 to 0.73 with applied power to the Ti target. The films with different Ba/Ti ratios showed changes in grain size. Ti excess films annealed at $600^{\circ}C$ did not show the second phase such as $BaTi_2O_5$ and $TiO_2$.

The aim of this work is the synthesis of a-C:H films from methane gas using surface spark discharge at the atmospheric pressure. Properties of these films have been investigated as functions of energy W delivered per a methane molecule in the discharge. The method enables the coatings to be deposited with high growth rates (up to $100 \mu\textrm{m}$/hour) onto large-area substrates. It is shown that the films consist of spherical granules with diameter of 20∼50 nm formed in the spark channel and then deposited onto the substrate. The best film characteristics such as minimum hydrogen-to-carbon atoms ratio H/C=0.69, maximum hardness $H_{v}$ =3 ㎬, the most dense packing of the granules and highest scratch resistance has been obtained under the condition of highest energy W of 40 eV. The deposited a-C:H coatings were found to be more soft and hydrogenated compared to the diamond-like hydrogenated (a-C:H) films which obtained by traditional plasmaenhanced chemical vapor deposition methods at low pressure (＜10 Torr). Nevertheless, these coatings can be potentially used for scratch protection of soft plastic materials since they are of an order harder than plastics but still transparent (the absorption coefficient is about $10^4$∼$10^{5}$ $m^{-1}$ At the same time the proposed method for fast deposition of a-C:H films makes this process less expensive compared to the conventional techniques. This advantage can widen the application field of. these films substantially.y.

In this study, a brass electrode gas discharge tube (GDT) was prepared to investigate its discharge characterization, which affects surge protection efficiency and lifetime of GDT. Discharge characterization of GDT using a brass electrode was investigated by changing applied voltage gradient and nitrogen gas pressure inside the GDT. As applied voltage gradient in GDT increased, electrical breakdown voltage and threshold energy largely increased and electrical breakdown time delay decreased. It was found that electrical breakdown voltage, electrical breakdown time delay, and threshold energy were largely decreased with decreasing the nitrogen gas pressure in GDT. As a result, electrical breakdown voltage, electrical breakdown time delay, threshold energy needed to be decreased to increase surge protection efficiency and lifetime. It was also found that the nitrogen gas pressure of GDT influenced strongly the performances as well as life span of it.

It is of great economic importance to minimize the cylinder wear and the consumption rate of cylinder oil in a large two-stroke diesel engine. The motor-driven cylinder lubricator was first developed fur a large two-stroke marine diesel engine made in $W{\ddot{a}}rtsil{\ddot{a}}a$ Switzerland Ltd. by the joint research of industry-university. In this study, the effects of revolution speed, plunger stroke and cylinder back pressure on maximum discharge and delivery pressures, delivery delay duration, and oil feed rate are experimentally investigated by the home-manufactured cylinder lubricator. The maximum discharge pressure with a spot of 0.03 m and the maximum loss pressure at spots of 5, 6.78 and i 0 m away from the end of lubricator slot are increased as plunger stroke, revolution speed and back pressure are elevated, and the delivery delay duration is shortened as plunger stroke, revolution speed and oil pipe length are increased. Also, oil feed rate is increased as plunger stroke and revolution speed are raised, but lowered as the back pressure is increased.

This paper is to study applying for numerical analysis method for flow field, velocity and pressure of fuel on the low pressure pump using excavator. The pressure distribution of fuel pump certified the linear variation according to rotation angle of rotor. Especially, it knew the fact that the pressure in rotation angle $40^{\circ}$ appeared high outlet and low inlet of fuel pump. Also, this range angle can seek the fact that the leakage flow and velocity are the most increasing. And the more rotor rotation of fuel pump, the more mean outlet flow rate increased in linear. Whenever the gap size decrease with rotor and housing, the discharge flow rate could seek the approaching 0.0712kg/s that consider with theory discharge flow rate calculated from displacement between rotor gear and idle gear.
