Porous carbon electrodes with wooden materials are manufactured by molding carbonized wood powder. Electrical properties of the interface for electrolyte and porous carbon electrode are investigated from viewpoint of NaCl electrolyte concentration, capacitance and complex impedance. Density of porous carbon materials is 0.47~0.61 g/$cm^3$. NaCl electrolytic absorptance of the porous carbon materials is 5~30%. As the electrolyte concentration increased, capacitance is increased and electric resistance is decrease with electric double layer effect of the interface. The electric current of the porous carbon electrode compared in the copper and the high density carbon electrode was improved on a large scale, due to a increase in surface area. The circuit current increased as the distance between of the porous carbon electrode and the zinc electrode decreased, due to increase in electric field. Experimental results indicated that the current properties of galvanic cell could be improved by using porous carbon electrode.

The electric power output characteristics of magnesium fuel cell were investigated with regard to internal resistance. A equivalent circuit with the series-connected three internal resistance was introduced to analyze of the response to change of power. The power output analysis was employed in order to investigate the effect of internal resistances for the electrolyte concentration, air electrode area, Mg electrode area and distance between the electrodes. It was confirmed that internal resistance is generated by the electrolyte, air electrode and metal electrode, then those Internal resistances had a significant effect on the power output decrease. The power output was a maximum when the load resistance maches the internal resistance of the magnesium fuel cell. The fuel efficiency was only 50% at maximum power output. Higher fuel efficiency was achieved when the load resistance is greater than the internal resistance.

Due to advancement of industrialization, the flue gas from the combustion of industrial factories and various means of transportation have polluted air. Therefore, it is necessary to develop new techniques of air purification. In order to produce a more effective reactor, simulation were conducted using the Flux-II D program. The condition of the simulation were as follows: The height of the plate electrode was 0 mm or 2 mm higher than that of the wire electrode. The distance between the electrodes was 12 mm, and the diameter of the wire electrode was 0.5 mm or 1.0 mm. The results of the electric potential and electric field simulations show that pollutants will be more effectively removed due to the dielectric strength between wire electrode and plate electrode which was strong, and wire electrodes which were concentrated in a high electric field.

In this thesis, it is investigated that the effect of the cross linked polyethylene(XLPE) insulator do to breakdown phenomenon by the insertion of the needle and bar electrode into XLPE which is used of electric power cable for the ultra-high voltage. The result of the partial discharge properties in the specimen showed that in case of the insertion of needle or bar electrode into XLPE, the effect of the inner discharge become large when the air void is bigger then the clearance of the electrode of the specimen. The closer the distance between the insulator and needle electrode, it takes less time to the insulation breakdown.

The ground resistance has been used as a method of estimating the capability of counterpoise. When transient currents blow through a ground electrode, it is reasonable to evaluate the performance of ground electrode system as a ground impedance instead of ground resistance. However, the measurement method of ground impedance for counterpoise is not clearly presented. This paper describes the measurement method of ground impedance considering the earth mutual resistances and AC mutual coupling. When we measure the ground impedance, the error due to earth mutual resistances depends on the distance between the auxiliary electrodes and the electrode under test. The measurement accuracy of high frequency ground impedance is mainly influenced by the location of the current electrode and the potential electrode.

The discharge characteristics of pulse-driven coplanar micro barrier discharges for an ultraviolet (UV) light source using Ne-Xe mixture have been investigated using a two-dimensional fluid simulation at near-atmospheric pressure. The densities of electrons, the radiative excited states, the metastable excited states, and the power loss are investigated with the variations of gas pressure and the gap distance. With a fixed gap distance, the number of the radiative states $Xe^*(^3P_1)$ increases with the increasing driving voltage, but this number shows weak dependency on the gas when that pressure is over 400 Torr. However, the number of the radiative states increases with the increase of the gap distance at a fixed voltage, while the power loss decreases. Therefore, a long gap discharge has higher efficiency for UV generation than does a short gap discharge. A slight change in the electrode tilt angle enhances the number of radiative species 2 or 3 times with the same operation conditions. Therefore, the intensity and efficiency of the UV light source can be controlled independently by changing the gap distance and the electrode structure.

Electrically conductive mortar used in industrial carbon material byproducts was manufactured and analyzed in this study. The contents of the carbon material and mixed water were controlled, and the distance between electrodes was set to 0.42 m and 0.88 m. The carbon material was graphite with a layered structure. The carbon material was used as fine powder and aggregate substitutes according to particle size. The average particle sizes of each materials were 18.4㎛ and 546.1 ㎛ and the electrical conductivities were 62.3 S/m and 32.5 S/m, respectively. To maintain similar mortar flow in each sample, the water content was increased with increasing carbon material, and accordingly, the porosity showed an increasing trend. When electrode distance of the mortar (week 6) was 0.42 m, the voltage-current values were 342 V-1.48 A (S20) and 349 V-1.44 A (S30). For electrode distance of 0.88 m, these values were 513 V-0.98 A (S20) and 500 V-1.01 A (S30). The exothermic properties improved with increasing carbon material content and decreasing electrode distance.

This study investigates the optimal conditions for electrogenerated hydrogen peroxide production and the application of the electro-Fenton process using DSA electrodes. The influences of parameters for the hydrogen peroxide generation such as electrode materials, electrolyte concentration, current, pH, air flow rate and electrode distance were investigated using a laboratory scale batch reactor. The relative performance for hydrogen peroxide generation of each of the six electrodes is : Ru-Sn-Ti > Ru-Sn-Sb > Ru > Ir > Pt > Sn-Sb. Optimum NaCl dosage, current and air flow rate were 2.0 g/l, 12.5 A and 2 l/min, respectively. When the pH is low, hydrogen peroxide concentration was high. Electrode distance dos not effect to a hydrogen peroxide generation. A complete color removal was obtained for RhB (200 mg/l) at the 8 min mark of the electro-Fenton process under optimum operation conditions of $Fe^{2+}$ 0.105 g/l and 5.0 A. The electro-Fenton process increased initial reaction and decreased final reaction time. However the effect was not high.

The ability to take electrocardiographic measurements while performing our daily activities has become the people-choice for modern age vital sign sensing. Currently, wet and dry ECG electrodes are known to pose threats like inflammations, allergic reactions, and metal poisoning due to their direct skin interaction. Therefore, the main goal in this work is to implement a very small ECG sensor system with a capacitive coupling, which is able to detect electrical signals of heart at a distance without the conductive gel. The aim of this paper is to design, implement, and characterize the contactless ECG electrodes. Under a careful consideration of factors that affect a capacitive electrode functional integrity, several different sizes of ECG electrodes were designed and tested with a pilot ECG device. A very small cotton-insulated copper tape electrode ($2.324cm^2$) was finally attained that could detect and measure bioelectric signal at about 500 um of distance from the subject's chest.

In the present work, a series of experiments have been performed on electro-hydrodynamic atomization of non-conducting liquid using a charge injection type nozzle. Effects of liquid flow rate, input voltage, and distance between the needle and the ground electrode (nozzle-embedded metal plate) have been examined. For fixed electrode distances, total and spray currents increase with increase of liquid flow rate and input voltage. When the distance between the needle and the ground electrode becomes closer, total, leakage and spray current increase, but the onset voltage for dielectric breakdown decreases. When the electric field strength of the liquid jet exceeds that for the air breakdown, a portion of the electric charges in the liquid jet is dissipated into the ambient air, and the charge density shows a limiting value. Atomization quality can be improved by increasing the flow rate because the higher charge density is achieved with the larger liquid velocity in addition to the enhanced aerodynamic effect.
