This paper deals with the design on iron-core shape for superconducting hybrid electromagnet (SH-EM). A proto-type SH-EM was developed by Yonsei University. It is the first step study on the fundamental technology for advanced railroad system development. We proposed the method that reduce the number of cooling systems in order to improve operating efficiency of the SH-EM. The results was obtained by changing of iron-core shape were verified by the FEM analysis. This paper can be expected to suggest useful data for an advanced SH-EM.

위성체 열설계의 기본 목적은 가혹한 우주 열환경 하에서 위성체를 보호하며, 위성이 임무를 보호하며, 위성이 임무를 수행하는 동안에 어떠한 우주 열환경 하에서도 모든 위성 부품이 허용되는 온도 내에서 작동하도록 하는 것이다. 발사시 열해석은 궤도상에서의 열해석과 달리 초기 조건인 발사시간을 기준으로 열해석을 수행하게 된다. 열해석에서는 위성체가 발사체에 탑재되기까지의 과정과 발사 후에 발사체와 분리되는 시점까지 고려하게 된다. 위성체의 형상은 태양전지판이 접혀있으며, 배터리만이 위성체에 전력을 공급하는 역할을 하게 된다. 발사시에 전력소비량을 감소시키는 유일한 방법은 히터소비량을 줄이는 것이며, 이 점에서 발사시 열해석이 중요해진다. 본 연구에서는 저궤도 위성 발사시에 최대 히터소비량을 예측하기 위하여 저온 조건을 가정하고 열모델을 작성하고 열해석을 수행하였다.

볼텍스 튜브는 고압의 가스를 이용하여 고온 가스와 저온 가스를 분리하거나 입자상 물질의 분리에 사용할 수 있는 장치이다. 본 연구에서는 직경 8mm 볼텍스 튜브의 길이변화가 에너지분리 특성에 미치는 영향을 실험을 통하여 분석하였다. 결론적으로 튜브길이 변화에 따른 영향력은 미미하였으나, 그 중 가장 짧은 튜브길이 64mm에서 고온 출구 측의 온도차가 가장 우수한 성능을 나타내었다. 반면, 저온 출구 측에서는 거의 영향을 미치지 못하는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구는 볼텍스 튜브의 기초설계자료로 활용될 예정이다.

The object of this study is to find the optimal insulation design conditions of a HTS power cable cryostat. The optimum condition of a cable cryostat is obtained by varying types of MLIs, cable core weights, spacer diameters, winding pitches and MLI layer numbers. As the weight of cable core is increased, conduction heat transfer from surroundings to cable cryostat is increased. But as the spacer pitch is increased from 120 mm to 200 mm, the heat leak of cable cryostat remains almost constant. The optimal number of MLI layers is suggested. Double ply MLI is more effective than triple ply MLI and the insulation effect is best when the number of MLI layers is 36.

The major deisng parameters that are considered in this paper are: 1) EMF according to width of field coil. 2) EMF according to magnetic shield length. Because of superconducting generator (SG) is actually and air cored machine with its rotor iron and stator iron teeth having been removed. In this case, the desing of the SG must be based on the 3D analysis of the magnetic field. This study presents an effective armature winding type with 3D FEM(Finite Element Method), and compares analyzed and measured results.

An optimal cooling method for HTS(high Tc superconductor) current leads has been analytically sought to minimize the required refrigerator power. The binary current lead is a series combination of a normal metal conductor at the warmer part and an HTS at the colder part. The lead is cooled by direct contacts with a two-stage cryocooler at the joint and at the cold end. It is clearly proven that there exists unique optimal values for the joint temperature and the current density to minimize the refrigerator power per unit current. the actual power input to the cryocooler in the optimal conditions is compared with its thermodynamic limit, and some significant issues in practical design are presented with a useful graphical method.

In this paper, a design scheme of SMES coil with HTS wire(BSCCO 2223) for least stray field and conductor consumption is presented. Three types of coils (solenoid, multiple solenoid, and modular toroid) have been considered. Shape and size of the coil was decided by line element method with evolution strategy and confirmed with Finite Element Method. Modular toroid displayed least stray field with given conductor length. The goal of the study is to establish designing technology of a HTS coil for SMES which works in relatively high magnetic field.

The optimum cross-sectional area Profile of gas-cooled high-temperature superconductor (HTS) current lead is analyzed to have minimum helium boil-off rate. The conventional constant area HTS lead has much higher helium consumption than the optimum HTS lead considered in this study. The optimum HTS lead has variable cross-sectional area to have constant safety factor. An analytical formula of optimum shape of lead and temperature profile are obtained. For multi-step HTS current leads, the optimum tape lengths and minimum heat dissipation rate are also formulated. The developed formulations are applied to the Bi-2223 material, and the differences between constant area, constant safety-factor, and multi-step current leads are discussed.

Racetrack coils are used in many areas of superconductivity applications such as generators, motors, maglev, wiggler magnets and so on. Especially now a days a few advanced nations including U.S., Japan are developing high temperature superconducting(HTS) wire which has better performance than low temperature superconducting(LTS) wire. Most of HTS wires such as BSCCO-2223 are manufactured with PIT(Power In Tube) process, so the shape of the wire looks like tape different from LTS wire with round cross-sectional appearance like normal conductors. Generally HTS racetrack coils are composed of a few partial double-pancake colis and then the double-pancakes are jointed each other according to their applications.
