Due to the high dependence on electric energy, electric fires make up a significant portion of fires in Korea. Electric arcs by short circuits or poor contact cause three of four electrical fires. An electric arc is a discharge phenomenon of electrical current between the insulators, which instantaneously produces high temperature. In order to reduce the fire due to electric arc, this study aims to predict the electric arc risk. We collected arc data from the arc detectors and converted into graphs based on temporal arc data. We used machine learning for training converted graph with different number of temporal arc data. To measure the performance of the learning model, we use the test data. In the results, when the number of temporal arc data was 20, the prediction rate was high as 86%.

철을 보호하는 코팅막에 있어서 현재는 우수한 희생방식성을 가지는 아연(Zn)이 많은 분야에서 활용되고 있지만 성능 향상을 위해서는 코팅막의 두께 증가가 필연적이다. 동일한 두께 혹은 그 이하에서 더 나은 내식성을 가지는 코팅막을 개발하는 목적으로 알루미늄(Al)과 마그네슘(Mg)을 이용한 코팅막의 개발을 진행하고 있으며 이 발표에서는 Al과 Mg의 코팅막을 다층으로 제작하여 이전 실험의 Al-Mg 코팅 강판과 비교 하였을 때 어떠한 특성이 나타나는지를 확인하였다. Al-Mg 코팅층은 99.999%의 Al, 99.99%의 Mg target을 사용하여 스퍼터링을 이용하여 냉연강판 위에 코팅하였다. 증발물질과 기판과의 거리는 7cm 이며, 기판은 세척을 실시한 후 클리닝 챔버에 장착하고 ${\sim}10^{-5}Torr$ 까지 진공배기를 실시하였다. 클리닝 챔버가 기본 압력까지 배기되면 아르곤 가스를 주입하고 기판홀더에 -800 V의 직류 전압을 인가하여 약 30분간 글로우 방전 청정을 실시하였다. 기판의 청정이 끝나면 아르곤 가스를 차단하고 코팅 챔버로 시편을 이송 후 코팅층 성분의 구성형태에 따라 Al과 Mg을 코팅하였다. Al-Mg 코팅층은 $5{\mu}m$의 두께를 기준으로 계면의 코팅층이 각각 Al과 Mg이며 다층으로 구성된 코팅층을 제작하였다. 그리고 후속 공정으로 질소 분위기 $400^{\circ}C$에서 10분간 열처리를 하였다. Al-Mg 코팅층을 주사전자현미경(SEM)으로 관찰한 결과, 표면에서는 Al 또는 Mg의 결정성 구조를 보였으며 단면에서는 다층의 경계를 조금이지만 확인할 수 있었으며 글로우방전분광기(GDLS)를 통해 열처리 후에는 층의 구분이 모호해 지는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 그리고 XRD를 통하여 열처리 후 Al-Mg 합금상의 생성도 확인하였다. 또한 Al-Mg가 다층으로 코팅된 강판을 염수분무시험을 통해서 내부식 특성을 확인하였다. Al-Mg 코팅 강판의 염수분무시험 결과, 모든 제작된 코팅층에서 열처리 전 보다 열처리 후 3배 이상의 내식성의 향상효과를 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과로부터 열처리에 의한 합금상 생성 그리고 Al-Mg 박막의 미세구조 변화가 강판의 내식성에 영향을 미치고 있다는 것을 확인할 수 있었지만 다층 제작이 미치는 영향에 대해서는 좀 더 연구가 필요한 것으로 판단된다.

Recently, the brittle materials such as ceramics, glass, sapphire and textile material have been widely used in semiconductors, aerospace and automobile owing to high functional characteristics. On the other hand, it has the characteristics of difficult-to-cut material relative to all materials. In this study, diamond electro-deposited band-saw machine was developed to operate stably using water-coolant type through relative motion between band-saw tool and $Al_2O_3$ material. High densified $Al_2O_3$ material was manufactured by spark plasma sintering method. The bulk density was observed by the Archimedes law and the theoretical density was estimated to be $3.88g/cm^3$ and its hardness 14.7 MPa. From the dicing sawing test of $Al_2O_3$ specimen, behavior of surface roughness and band-saw wear are dominantly affected by the increase of the band-saw linear velocity. Additionally, an continuous pattern type of diamond band-saw was a very effective due to entry impact as a one-off for brittle material.

화학보호복은 독성이 있는 화학물질 및 미세분진등에 대해 공기를 차단하며 완전 밀폐형으로 공기호흡기 및 에어라인 같은 호흡보호장치와 함께 착용하여 신체부위를 보호한다. 그 예로 생물/화학보호복은 유독하고 해로운 생물/화학물질로 부터 인체를 보호해준다. 이들 보호복은 다양한 환경이 노출되어 장시간 작업을 위해서 오랜시간 보호성능을 유지해야한다. 특히, 이런 원단의 구성은 플라스틱과 고무류의 다층구조로 구성되어있다. 플라스틱류(폴리에틸렌, PTFE 등)는 표면장력이 너무 낮아 접착하는데 어려운 점이 많이 대두된다. 일반적인 표면처리방법은 크게 물리화학적 방법으로 4가지로 분류한다. 화학적산화, 불꽃처리, 플라즈마처리, UV 방사법 등이 있다. 이들 중에서 가장 간단한 산화처리는 플라즈마처리다. 이처리는 상온/상압하에서 대기 중 또는 가스내에 방전에 의해 플라즈마를 형성하고 이 플라즈마가 대상물의 표면분자와 격렬히 반응하게 하여 표면의 분자구조를 변화시킴에 따라 소수성의 표면에 Carboxyl, hydroxyl과 carbonyl과 같은 친수성으로 변하여 결합능력을 증가 시켜 표면장력을 높여주는 가장 효과적인 방법이다. 플라즈마 표면처리를 하고 나면 육안으로 표면의 변화를 감지할 수 없지만 접착, 잉크, 코팅을 잘 받아들이는 결과를 가져온다. 플라즈마 표면처리의 효과는 주로 부도체의 필름이나 합성수지 계열의 인쇄성과 접착성을 향상시키고자 많이 활용되고 있는 실정이다. 특히, 화학보호복과 같은 플라스틱류인 다양한 고분자 합성수지(Polyethylene, polypropylene, nylon, vinyl, PVC, PET 등)에 적용가능하다. 본 연구에서는 플라즈마처리조건에 영향을 주는 변수들을 고려하여 실험계획법(DOE, RSM)을 이용하여 최적화된 플라즈마 공정을 향상시키고자한다.

Silicon has attracted extensive attention due to its high theoretical capacity, low discharge potential and non-toxicity as anode material for lithium ion batteries. In this study, Si-CNT-C composites were fabricated for use as a high-efficiency anode material in a lithium ion battery. Aerosol self-assembly and post-heat treatment processes were employed to fabricate the composites. The morphology of the Si-CNT-C composites was spherical and an average particle size was $2.72{\mu}m$. The size of the composite increased as concentration of Si and CNT increased in the precursor solution. In the Si-CNT-C composites, CNT and C carbonized from glucose were attached to the surface of Si particles. Electrochemical measurement showed that the cycle performance of Si-CNT-C composites was better than that of silicon particles.

Porous $LiMn_{0.6}Fe_{0.4}PO_4$ (LMFP) was synthesized by a sol-gel process. Uniform dispersion of the conductive carbon source throughout LMFP with uniform carbon coating was achieved by heating a stoichiometric mixture of raw materials at $600^{\circ}C$ for 10 h. The crystal structure of LMFP was investigated by Rietveld refinement. The surface structure and pore properties were investigated by SEM, TEM and BET. The LMFP so obtained has a high specific surface area with a uniform, porous, and web-like nano-sized carbon layer at the surface. The initial discharge capacity and energy density were 152 mAh/g and 570 Wh/kg, respectively, at 0.1 C current density, and showed stable cycle performance. The combined effect of high porosity and uniform carbon coating leads to fast lithium ion diffusion and enhanced electrochemical performance.

Tin oxide thin films doped with silicon as anodes for lithium secondary battery were fabricated by R. F. magnetron sputtering technique. The electrochemical results for lithium secondary battery anodes showed that addition of silicon decreases the oxidic state of tin, and, hence, reduced the irreversible capacity during the first discharge/charge cycle. The (110),(101),(211) planes were grown with increasing substrate temperatures. The reversible capacity of thin films fabricated in conditions of $300^{\circ}C$ substrate temperature and 7:3 $Ar:O_2$ ratio was 700 mAh/g.

This paper presents the effect of lightning impulse current on ZnO varistors(390[V], 6.5[kA]) used in low-voltage AC mains as a protective device against transient overvoltages. The electrical characteristics of ZnO varistors are deteriorated by overtime impulse current, and a deteriorated ZnO varistor is brought to a thermal runaway and finally destroyed even in normal operating voltage. Therefore, it is important to estimate the changes of the electrical characteristics of ZnO varistors. A lightning impulse current standardized in IEC 61000-4-5 is applied to the varistors to accelerate deterioration, and the energy applied to the varistor at each time is about 12 [J]. In the experiment, various parameters such as leakage current, reference voltage are measured with the number of applied impulse current. Also, micro-structure changes of the varistors after applying the lightning impulse current of 200 times are compared. The electrical characteristics of the varistors are degraded by overtime impulse current, showing increase in leakage current and decrease in reference voltage.

Current desulfurization and denitrification technologies have reached a considerable level in terms of reduction efficiency. However, when compared with the simultaneous reduction technology, the individual reduction technologies have issues such as economic disadvantages due to the difficulty to scale-up apparatus, secondary pollution from wastewater/waste during the treatment process, requirement of large facilities for post-treatment, and increased installation costs. Therefore, it is necessary to enable practical application of simultaneous SOx and NOx treatment technologies to remove two or more contaminants in one process. The present study analyzes a technology capable of maintaining simultaneous treatment of SOx and NOx even at low temperatures due to the electrochemically generated strong oxidation of the wet-pulse complex system. This system also reduces unreacted residual gas and secondary products through the wet scrubbing process. It addresses common problems of the existing fuel gas treatment methods such as SDR, SCR, and activated carbon adsorption (i.e., low treatment efficiency, expensive maintenance cost, large installation area, and energy loss). Experiments were performed with varying variables such as pulse voltage, reaction temperature, chemicals and additives ratios, liquid/gas ratio, structure of the aeration cleaning nozzle, and gas inlet concentration. The performance of individual and complex processes using the wet-pulse discharge reaction were analyzed and compared.

The performance and cost of electric vehicles (EVs) are much influenced by the performance and service life of the Li-ion battery system. In particular, the cell performance and reliability of Li-ion battery packs are highly dependent on their operating temperature. Therefore, a novel battery thermal management is crucial for Li-ion batteries owing to heat dissipation effects on their performance. Among various types of battery thermal management systems (BTMS'), the phase change material (PCM) based BTMS is considered to be a promising cooling system in terms of guaranteeing the performance and reliability of Li-ion batteries. This work is mainly concerned with the basic research on PCM based BTMS. In this paper, a basic experimental study on PCM based battery cooling system was performed. The main purpose of the present study is to present a comparison of two PCM-based cooling systems (n-Eicosane and n-Docosane) of the unit 18650 battery module. To this end, the simplified PCM-based Li-ion battery module with two 18650 batteries was designed and fabricated. The thermal behavior (such as temperature rise of the battery pack) with various discharge rates (c-rate) was mainly investigated and compared for two types of battery systems employing PCM-based cooling. It is considered that the results obtained from this study provide good fundamental data on screening the appropriate PCMs for future research on PCM based BTMS for EV applications.
