The most efficient system for converting heat to electricity, AMTEC (Alkali Metal Thermal-to-Electric Convertor), is a device that directly converts heat energy to electricity using an alkali metal (sodium) as the working fluid. The AMTEC consists of a low pressure chamber, high pressure chamber, BASE (Beta-Alumina Solid Electrolyte), and artery wick. The main heat loss of the AMTEC system occurs in the low pressure chamber. A high power generation rate is thought to be obtainable by using a high temperature in the BASE. Therefore, to reduce the radiation heat loss, 6 types of radiation shields were examined to reduce the radiative heat loss in the low pressure chamber. The power generation rate of the AMTEC varied depending on the shape of the radiation shield. CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) analyses were carried out to optimize the shape of the radiation shield. As a result, the optimum radiation shield was found to consist of a curvature formed at the vertical point, in which case the dimensionless temperature (condenser temperature/BASE temperature) is approximately 0.665 and the maximum power generated is calculated to be 17.69W. Increasing the distance beween the BASE and condenser leads to an increase in the power generated, and the power generated with the longest distance was 17.58 W. The shields with multiple holes and multiple horizontal layers showed power reduction rates of 0.91 W and 2.06 W, respectively.

This paper describes a method for steady state hot gas flow analysis considering nozzle ablation for the nozzle of $SF_6$ gas circuit breaker. In order to take account of the effect of ablated nozzle material on the hot gas flow. the PTFE mass concentration equation is added to the established equations for hot gas flow analysis. The steady state simulations were carried out under the condition of DC current flows and the results are presented.

일반적으로 케이블 계통은 최고허용온도 부근에서 상시운전하는 경우는 거의 없다. 즉, 허용전류 계산시에도 충분한 여유가 있는 가정들을 근거로 계산하므로 허용전류 자체에 충분한 여유가 있을 뿐만 아니라 설계단계에서도 향후 부하의 증가를 고려하여 설계하므로 설계용량 부근에서 상시운전하는 경우는 거의 없다. 동태용량 산정기법은 가상부하에 따른 도체 및 유도의 예측, 열특성 파라메타의 변화에 따른 허용전류의 예측이 가능하며 특히 케이블의 과도특성을 이용하여 단시간의 허용전류를 상당히 증대(외국의 경우 정태용랴의 약2배)시킬 수 있는 장점이 있다. 따라서 정태용량 산정에 의한 설계 여유 및 운전중에 조건의 변화에 따른 허용전류의 여유를 예측 할 수 있는 동태용량 산정법은 케이블 부하조정의 융통성 뿐 만 아니라 케이블계통 사고시에도 적절히 대처할 수 있는 많은 융통성을 제공해 주게 된다. 아울러 동태용량 프로그램이 절연체의 수명손시평가법과 함께 해석된다면 케이블계통의 플렉시빌리티와 효율의 비약적인 증가를 가져올 뿐만 아니라 전체 계통의 신뢰도를 증가시킬 수 있는 장점등으로 인해 복잡한 도시에서 새로운 케이블 경과지 확보가 점점 어려워지는 추세에 따라 앞으로 동태용량 프로그램에 관한 연구개발이 활발해질 것으로 예견된다.

This paper deals with the torque characteristic of AFPM Brushless DC motor, which is driven by 3 phase inverter and with the effect of phase of input voltage to the output by varying the input voltage to the induced voltage in stator of motor. To accomplish this, a prototype AFPM Brushless DC Motor was produced and phase variation was detected by a set of photo interrupter. In this realized system. method to maximize the output torque depend on the speed of motor is presented.

방화벽은 변압기 폭발, 파열 사고 이후 주변 주/보조변압 기로의 2차 사고를 방지하는 목적으로 설치되고 있다. 변압기는 열교환기(방열기 또는 쿨러)를 통해 외부 대기와 열교환을 하므로 방화벽의 설치로 인하여 주위 대기의 흐름이 저하되어 냉각 성능에 악영향을 미칠 수 있다. 본 연구는 방화벽 설치 위치 및 변압기 주위 설치 환경에 따른 공기 온도상승 효과가 변압기의 온도상승에 미치는 영향에 대하여 분석하였다. 시험과 해석을 수행한 결과 방화벽을 2면으로 설치 할 경우 방화벽의 설치 거리는 방열기에서 1m 이상, 방화벽을 3면으로 설치 할 경우 변압기 본체에서 2.5m 이상으로 유지하였을 때 변압기의 온도상승에 큰 영향을 미치지 않음을 확인하였으며, 방화벽의 높이는 본체의 높이를 고려하여 설치하여야 한다.

A comprehensive thermo-electromagnetic model has been developed to estimate temperature and electromagnetic distribution in an three-phase induction motor under steady state operation. Electromagnetic modeling enables us to predict thermal dissipation rates by eddy-current loss and copper loss in induction motors. Non-uniform temperature distributions are investigated to account for the strong effect of local temperature build-up on the motor performance and expected life-span. For more accurate thermal modeling purpose, Heat loss mapping method, which is matched up with electromagnetic losses and volumetric heat source, is developed and performed analysis. Heat loss mapping method can be greatly used as a design or diagnostic tool for three-phase induction motors with complex structural electromagnetic fields.

In this paper, temperature distribution of 24 MVA distribution cast-resin transformers is analyzed by using CFD. Usually heat generated in transformer causes many problems. To radiate the heat, conduction and convection are done through the duct between winding. Considering natural convection, fluid analysis is applied to the fluid region surrounding the transformer. As a result of the analysis, hot spot temperature point is predicted at the low-voltage winding. Through this paper, heat distribution and cooling characteristics property can be predicted by analyzing transformer heating characteristic required when designing.

A shading ring in an AC solenoid plays an important role in reducing vibration and humming sound. Estimation of performance of the shading ring placed in a stator pole of the AC solenoid is not an easy task due to the difficulty in measurement of the current and flux linkage of the shading ring. In this paper, dynamic performance of an AC solenoid with a shading ring is analyzed through the simulation using electromagnetic analysis software and the results are verified by simple AC and DC voltage tests. Both the simulation and experimental results show that the shading ring in the AC solenoid not only increases pull force, but also reduces operation time, vibration and humming sound.
