영광 1호기의 일차계통인 원자로 냉각재 평균온도( $T_{avg}$)를 적정값으로 미세조정하여 운전할 때, 2차계통 주요 운전변수인 주증기압력이 상승하고 터빈출력이 상승함을 발견하여 이에 대한 터빈사이클 열성능 변화를 발전소 전체 열평형 계산에 의해 정량적으로 파악하고, 그 원인을 열역학 2법칙에서의 엔트로피개념을 이용한 유용에너지의 최대값인 엑서지이론을 적용하여 분석하고자하였다. 분석 결과 열평형 계산에서는 전체 열량의 대부분인 63.2%가 복수기에서 손실되는 것으로 나타나는 반면, 열역학 제2법칙의 엑서지를 이용한 분석에서는 비가역손실이 주로 터빈(전체 엑서지의 12.7%)에서 일어나고 그 다음이 복수기(5.7%), 급수가열기(2.1%) 그리고 1,2단 재열기 (1.0%)의 순으로 전체 사이클에서 일어나며, 주증기 압력이 상승할 때 터빈 출력이 상승하는 주원인은 주증기의 유용성(엑서지)이 크게 증가하는 것에 비해 터빈사이클에서의 비가역손실은 적게 증가하기 때문으로 나타났다.다.

Thermodynamic irreversibility analysis of an air-to-water heat pump system is analyzed in this study. This analysis shows the distribution of irreversibilities(true losses in thermodynamic sense) through the system components and informs us of a potential improvements with the irreversibility factor decreases. The results show that the largest irreversibilities occur in the motor-compressor unit. The remaining irreversibilities are distributed relatively uniformly through the other parts including utilization system. The increase of performance can be attained through either the improvement of adiabatic efficiency of motor-compressor unit(${\eta}_{mc}$) or the reduction of temperature difference(${\Delta}T$). With the decrease of utilization temperature($T_u$) COPH also increases but the exergetic efficiency decreases. The increase of COPH of about 0.05 can be accomplished with 1K decrease of ${\Delta}T$ or $T_u$.

This paper compared simulation characteristics on the design of center strip by structure simulator with manufacture of 2.6GHz non-reciprocal element. Secures condition that affect in PIMD and confirmed change value of PIMD by change of condition. Implemented non-reciprocal element shows more than 20dB isolation characteristic at center frequency(2,650MHz) and has 0.2dB insertion loss in overall 100MHz operating bandwidth. Return losses of input and output port are measured below -20dB. IMD of non-reciprocal element exhibited superior value when there were no gaps between internal components and when materials having identical substances were used, and it showed an improving tendency when the pressure was increased higher, however, in case of applying pressure higher than a certain level, it results in damages, etc. of the magnet inside and ferrite as well, so then the characteristics of IMD was rapidly increased along with decrease of frequency characteristics.

The concept of entransy has been proposed recently as a potential heat transfer mechanism and could be useful in analyzing and optimizing the heat-work conversion systems. This work presents an entransy analysis for the irreversible Carnot cycle by systematic balance formulations of the entransy loss, work entransy, and entransy dissipations, which are consistent with exergy balances. Additionally, several forms of system efficiency are introduced based on entransy for the appreciation of the optimal system performance. The effects of the source temperature and irreversible efficiencies on the optimal conditions for system efficiencies are systematically investigated for both dumping and non-dumping cases of used source fluid. The results show different trends in entransy efficiencies when compared to the conventional efficiencies of energy and exergy, and represent another method to assess the effective use of heat source in power generation systems.

A reversed trapezoidal fin with variable lateral surface slope is optimized using a two-dimensional analytic method. For a fin base boundary condition, convection from the inside fluid to the inside wall and conduction from the inside wall to the fin base are considered. Heat loss from the fin tip surface is not ignored. The maximum heat loss at the practical fin length, the corresponding optimum fin efficiency, fin length and fin base height are presented as a function of the fin inside and outside convection characteristic numbers. One of the results shows that the optimum fin shape becomes 'fatter and shorter' as the ratio of fin tip height to base height increases.

Thermodynamic analysis of water-to-water heat pump system based on the first and second law of thermodynamics is carried out in this study. This analysis shows the distribution of irreversibilities throughout the system components and informs us of a potential improvements with the temperature condition changes. Source water temperature($T_A$), utilization water temperature($T_D$) and temperature differences (${\Delta}T_{AB}$, ${\Delta}T_{CD}$) are important factors to affect system performances such as component irreversibilities, exergetic efficiency and COPH. Advantages and disadvantages with these factors are discussed. Second law optimization phenomena with $T_A$ and ${\Delta}T_{AB}$ are also indicated.

The scalability of optical cross-connect nodes is analyzed based on the limiting factor of transmission performance. The limiting factors considered are ASE noise accumulation and gain saturation in the optical amplifiers, and crosstalk in both wavelength multiplexers/demultiplexers and optical switches. When the wavelength multiplexer/demultiplexers crosstalk is lower than 25dB, Power Penalty is below 1dB for the cascaded transmission of 10 nodes with 4 input/output ports. When 10Gbps signals are transmitted through nodes with 4 and 16 input/output Ports, performance degradation due to switch crosstalk is dominant compared to that due to ASE noise accumulation if the switch crosstalk is larger than 30dB and 45dB, respectively. For the single stage transmission of 10Gbps signal with 21dB fiber link loss, the maximum loss of optical cross-connect nodes must be under 34dB to achieve the BER of $10^{-12}$.

Broadband operation of Y-junction microstrip circulator withlnonreciprocal device is predicteg by Rosenbaum using Bosma's Green function analysis. The anslysis has been modified to enable the scattering matrix and therefore the circulator bandwidth, to be found. The width of the coupling transmission lines is found to be a significant design parameter${\psi}$. A comparison of experimental and theoretical results for the 3-port junction shows that wide lines and a smaller 7.5U than usual disk radius can be used to obtain broadband operation. Circulator operates in the frequency band 5-11 GHz. The obtained maximum insertion loss is 0.5dB and the isolation is more than 15dB.

This paper presents an anlaysis on the thermodynamic performance of ice storage system. The primary interest in this work is the exergetic efficiency of the system. The ice storage system considered here is the capsule type system with the waste plastic bottle being used as a capsule. To examine the characteristics of irreversibility production and exergetic efficiency in detail the ice storage system to be analyzed has been separated from the refrigerator in this analysis. The analysis is based on the lumped model with 3 uniform temperatures. The results indicate that 3 dimensionless parameters can describe the exergetic efficiency of the system, from which the characteristics of irreversibilities and the ranges of these parameters to ensure the reasonable performance of the system can be found. Experiments also have been performed to demonstrate the feasibility of such a system. This analysis only shows the performance of ice storage side, with the refrigeration side excluded. However, the results can be interpreted as a total performance if the refrigerator coupled with the ice storage system operatres reversibly.

The irreversible 9/7 JPEG2000, which is one of sub-band coding techniques, has a problem of severe picture quality distortion at the edge and the background caused by the quantization error below 0.15bpp. In this paper, to solve such problems we propose a VQ(Visual Quantizer) based on L-pdf(Laplace probability density function) statistical characteristics of high frequency sub-bands. The proposed VQ is designed by visual parameter for improving the subjective quality and weighting parameter for increasing the compression ratio. A proposed method, based on 9/7 JPEG2000 scheme, gives the high subjective quality to reconstructed images below 0.15bpp and provides minimum MSE(Mean-Squared Error) regardless of the compression ratio.
