A general combustion characteristics of forcing nonpremixed jet in laminar flow rates have been conducted experimentally to investigate the effect of forcing amplitude with the resonant frequency of fuel tube. There are two patterns of the flame lift-off feature according to the velocity increasing; one has the decreasing values of forcing amplitude on the lift-off occurrence when a fuel exit velocity is increasing, while the other has the increasing values. These mean that there are the different mechanisms in the lift-off stability of forced jet diffusion flame. Especially, the characteristics of attached jet flame regime are concentrically observed with flame lengths, shapes, flow response and velocity profiles at the nozzle exit as the central figure. The notable observations are that the flame enlogation, in-homing flame and the occurrence of a vortical motion turnabout have happened according to the increase of forcing amplitude. It is understood by the velocity measurements and visualization methods that these phenomena have been relevance to an entrainment of surrounding oxygen into the fuel nozzle as the negative part of the fluctuating velocity has begun at the inner part of the fuel nozzle.

This study was carried out to test the possibility that tracheid length of red pine growing in Sokwang-ri in Uljin could be used as one of variables to estimate its wood properties. For the study, forest stands of V (500 m a.s.l.) and VIIII (900 m a.s.l.) age class plots were selected in the region, and three trees in each plot were investigated. The tracheid length was separately measured for early- and latewood. It took approximately 25 and 40 years for V and VIIII age class stands, respectively, until the length was stabilized. The lengths in latewood were 3.14 (V age class) and 3.30 (VIIII age class) mm, and in earlywood 2.98 (V age class) and 3.15 (VIIII age class) mm. The lengths in latewood therefore were longer than in earlywood and the lengths for VIIII age class were longer than for V age class. However, the ratio between their lengths in early- and latewood was the same as 0.96 in all age classes. It might be verified whether this ratio can be used as a variable to test the wood property according to provinces by comparing it with others.

Flame stabilization characteristics of premixed flames in narrow annular coaxial tubes (NACT) were investigated experimentally. The NACT burner was proposed as a model of a cylindrical refractory burner, and it was made of quartz tubes. Flame stabilization conditions affected by the characteristic length of the burner was investigated with the variation of the equivalence ratio and the flow rates. Flame behaviors in narrow spaces could be directly observed. Conclusively, more wide flame stabilization conditions could be obtained at the case of the decreased channel scale. A flame instability, such as combustion noise was detected concerned with the flame oscillation observed at the surface of multi channel stage. Some flame propagation characteristics had complicated tendencies that may exist in practical porous-media combustors. Therefore, this NACT burner can be a basic configuration for the development of flame stabilization model in porous media combustor, and it will enhance our understanding about the behavior of flames in meso-scale combustion spaces.

Flame stabilization characteristics of premixed flames in an annular coaxial 5-tubes burner (AC5TB) were investigated experimentally. The AC5TB was made of five quartz tubes, and the flame stabilization conditions in that burner were investigated with the variation of equivalence ratio and the flow velocities. Flame behaviors inside of narrow annular tubes could be observed directly. Overall flame stabilization conditions were similar to that of the previous study, while the flame behaviors and structures were different mainly due to the controlled uniform distribution of the velocities in channels. Flame flashback conditions were thought to be governed by the competition between heat release rate, heat loss and heat recirculation in each channel. Stationary flames at a fixed location were compared in its velocity distribution and burned gas temperature across the channel. This AC5TB can be a basic configuration for the development of flame stabilization model of porous media combustors, and it will help understand about the real behavior of flames in meso-scale combustion spaces.

원자력발전의 고유한 문제점을 해결할 수 있는 새로운 집적폐회로형 AMBIDEXTER 원자력시스템 개념을 제안하였다. 이 복합시스템은 일체형 원자로를 중심으로 열/에너지 변환회로와 방사선/물질 수송회로를 서로 독립적으로 구성하므로 최소 방사선 위험부담 아래서 원자력에너지의 잇점을 극대화하는 설계이다. 특히 방사선/물질 수송회로로부터 분리된 고준위 방사성 폐기물에서 고부가가치 동위원소나 방사선원을 선별적으로 용이하게 추출, 활용할 수 있다. 원자로 계통은 얇고 큰 Hastelloy 합금 원자로용기 내부를 노심, 침니, 열교환기, 다운캄어 및 입구플레넘 콤파트먼트로 분할하여 배관이나 벨브관이 없으므로 기기파손으로 인한 방사성물질의 대량 외부 누출은 불가능하다. Th/233U 용융염핵연료의 핵물리 및 열수력학적 특성을 살려 AMBIDEXTER 노심의 핵적 자활성 설계에 융통성을 부여하는 변성핵연료주기를 도입하면 핵연료자원의 공급 안정화나 핵확산방지의 투명성 제고에 큰 효과가 있다. AMBIDEXTER 설계연구에 관련된 핵심기술들은 일찍이 미국 ORNL에서 시작한 MSR 프로그램을 통해 개발되어 이미 대부분 상용화하고 있기 때문에 현재 추진 중인 250 MWth급 원형로 모듈의 개념개발에서는 주로 시스템 통합에 관한 문제들이 중점적으로 다루어진다.

When a flame is stabilized in a tube of a finite thickness, a conductive heat transfer through the tube significantly changes the wall temperature and affects the flame characteristics. Thus the tube length and thermal boundary conditions affect on the structure of the flame in a conductive tube. A one-dimensional analytical study was conducted by employing two energy equations for tubes and mixtures and a species equation for the mixture. Variation of the maximum temperatures and indicating displacements were observed. A parametric study on the effects of inner Peclet numbers, normalized wall conductivities, and heat transfer conditions of the tube was conducted. This study provides essential data for a more efficient computational simulation of the flame stabilized in conductive tubes.

An experimental study is made on turbulent diffusion flames stabilized by a circular cylinder in a divergence flow. In this paper, stabilization characteristics and flame structure are examined by varying the divergence angle of duct and position of a circular cylinder. The fuel used is a commercial grade gaseous propane injected by two slit of rod. It is found that the positive pressure gradient greatly influences the eddy structure behind the rod. and that two different kinds of combustion patterns exist at the blowoff limit depending on the divergent angle of duct. They are distinguished by their wake structures: one associated with Karman vortex shedding, the other without it. Also, the blowoff velocity in the former is found to be higher than in the later.

This paper proposes the design of STATCOM(static synchronous compensator) stabilizer for improving power system stability using fuzzy logic controller(FLC). The STATCOM DC voltage regulator contributes negative damping to the power system as the installation of STATCOM DC voltage regulator. STATCOM stabiliser is superimposed on the AC voltage regulator to compensate the negative damping effect. To evaluate usefulness of the proposed method, we perform the nonlinear simulation on a single-machine infinite bus system. As results of the simulations, the proposed method shows better control performance than PI controller in terms of damping effects.

고강도 저가형 탄소 섬유 제작에 마이크로파 장비를 이용하는데 있어 공정 제어를 위한 온도 측정이 중요하다. 석영관 내부에 들어 있는 섬유의 표면 온도를 측정하기 어려우므로 직접 삽입한 K타입 열전대를 이용하여 입력 전력에 따른 섬유 다발 표면의 온도를 측정 하였다. 그 결과 안정화에 필요한 $300^{\circ}C$ 부근의 온도는 쉽게 얻을 수 있었으나 마이크로파가 방사되는 영역의 온도만 빠른 상승을 보여서 불균일도 해결을 위한 노력이 필요하다. 탄화 처리를 위한 고온 가열을 위해서 투입 전력을 648 W까지 증가시켰을 때 $727^{\circ}C$까지는 쉽게 상승하였으나 $2000^{\circ}C$ 이상을 획득하기 위해서는 고온 복사 손실을 줄 일 수 있는 전략이 필요하다.

본 논문에서는 주기 비안정 연속계의 해석을 위한 주파수 방법이 제안된다. 비안정시스템의 안정화를 위한 기존의 주파수 해석법을 일부 수정하여 연속계를 포함한 비안정 시스템에 적합하도록 수정하였으며, 직류모터와 동기발전기로 구성되어 있는 전기-기계 시스템에 적용하여 유용성을 보였다. 복잡한 비안정 연속계의 문제를 각 요소별 주파수 응답을 분리하고 조합하는 작업들을 통하여 쉽게 풀 수 있음을 보였다. 모터-발전기로 구성되어있는 전기-기계 시스템에서 발전기의 상호유도인덕턴스의 시간에 따른 주기적 변화와 장선(long electrical line)의 부하가 시스템의 불안정성을 야기함을 보였다.
