The objective of this study was to analyze effects of aging time on property degradation of super austenitic stainless steel of PRE 52.8 and super duplex stainless steel of PRE 48.7. To analyze corrosion properties based on aging time, a critical pitting temperature test was performed in a solution of 6% FeCl₃ + 1% HCl and an anodic polarization test was performed in deaerated 0.5N HCl + 1N NaCl solution at a temperature of 50 ℃. Surface hardness was measured to analyze mechanical properties. It was found that corrosion properties and mechanical properties deteriorated rapidly as aging time increased. Critical pitting temperature had the most effect on critical aging time at which property changes occurred rapidly, followed by pitting potential and hardness. This trend was found to be closely related to the fraction of sigma phase. Rate of sigma phase formation was found to be significantly faster in duplex stainless steel than in austenitic stainless steel.

This paper suggests heuristic algorithm with linear time complexity to decide the normal and optimal point at minimum loss/maximum profit maximum shortest scheduling problem with additional loss cost and bonus profit cost. This algorithm computes only the earliest ending time for each node. Therefore, this algorithm can be get the critical path and project duration within O(n) time complexity and reduces the five steps of critical path method to one step. The proposed algorithm can be show the result more visually than linear programming and critical path method. For real experimental data, the proposed algorithm obtains the same solution as linear programming more quickly.

This paper describes a new ultra-fast contingency screening algorithm for on-line TSA without time simulation. All machines are represented in a classical model and the stability index is defined as the ratio between acceleration power during a fault and deceleration power after clearing the fault. Critical clustering of machines is done based on the stability index, and the power-angle curve of the critical machines is drawn assuming that the angles of the critical machines increase uniformly, while those of the non-critical ones remain constant. Finally, the critical clearing time (CCT) is computed using the power-angle curve. The proposed algorithm is tested on the KEPCO system comprised of 900-bus and 230-machines. The CCT values computed with the screening algorithm are in good agreement with those computed using the detailed model and the SIME method. The computation time for screening about 270 contingencies is 17 seconds with 1.2 GHz PC.

The new viscosity theory is applied to the abnormal behavior of the viscosity near the critical point. This theory suggests that the viscosity is equal to the product of the absolute pressure(kinetic pressure + internal pressure) and the collision time. We can find this abnormal behavior to be due to the large collision time near the critical point. The agreements between theoriticals and experimentals of the critical enhancement are satisfactory.

The present study addresses a computational result of unsteady gas flow through a critical nozzle. The axisymmetric, unsteady, compressible, Wavier-Stokes equations are solved using a finite volume method that makes use of the second order upwind scheme for spatial derivatives and the multi-stage Runge-Kutta integral scheme for time derivatives. The steady solutions of the governing equation system are validated with the previous experimental data to ensure that the present computational method is valid to predict the critical nozzle flows. In order to simulate the effects of back pressure fluctuations on the critical nozzle flows, an excited pressure oscillation with an amplitude and frequency is assumed downstream of the exit of the critical nozzle. The results obtained show that for low Reynolds numbers, the unsteady effects of the pressure fluctuations can propagate upstream of the throat of critical nozzle, and thus giving rise to the applicable fluctuations in mass flow rate through the critical nozzle, while for high Reynolds numbers, the pressure signals occurring at the exit of the critical nozzle do not propagate upstream beyond the nozzle throat. For very low Reynolds number, it is found that the sonic line near the throat of the critical nozzle remarkably fluctuateswith time, providing an important mechanism for pressure signals to propagate upstream of the nozzle throat, even in choked flow conditions. The present study is the first investigation to clarify the unsteady effects on the critical nozzle flows.

New discrete time domain models for the peak current controlled (PCC) power LED drivers in continuous conduction mode include for the first time the effects of the time delay in the pulse-width-modulator. Realistic amounts of time delay are found to have significant effects on the average output LED current and on the critical inductor value at the boundary between the two conduction modes. Especially, the time delay can provide an accurate LED current for the PCC buck converter with a wide input voltage. The models can also predict the critical inductor value at the mode boundary as functions of the input voltage and the time delay. The overshoot of the peak inductor current due to the time delay results in the increase of the average output current and the reduction of the critical inductor value at the mode boundary in all converters. Experimental results are presented for the PCC buck LED driver with constant-frequency controller.

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 61788-26:2020 provides guidelines for measuring the critical current of Rare-earth barium copper oxide (REBCO) tapes using two methods: linear ramp and step-hold methods. The critical current measurement criterion, 1 or 0.1 μV/cm of electric field from IEC 61788-26 has been normally applied to REBCO coils or magnets. No-insulation (NI) winding technique has many advantages in aspects of electrical and thermal stability and mechanical integrity. However, the leak current from the NI REBCO coil can cause distortion in critical current measurement due to the characteristic resistance which causes the radial current flow paths. In this paper, we simulated the NI REBCO coil by applying both linear ramp and step-hold methods based on a simplified equivalent circuit model. Using the circuit analysis, we analyzed and evaluated both methods. By using the equivalent circuit model, we can evaluate the critical current of the NI REBCO coil, resulting in an estimation error within 0.1%. We also evaluate the accuracy of critical current measurement using both the linear ramp and step-hold methods. The accuracy of the linear ramp method is influenced by the inductive voltage, whereas the accuracy of the step-hold method depends on the duration of the hold-time. An adequate hold time, typically 5 to 10 times the time constant (τ), makes the step-hold method more accurate than the linear ramp method.

Critical conduction mode boost power factor correction converters operating at the boundary of continuous conduction mode and discontinuous conduction mode have been widely used for power applications lower than 300W. This paper proposes an enhanced variable on-time control method for the critical conduction mode boost PFC converter to improve the total harmonic distortion characteristic. The inductor current, which varies according to the input voltage, is analyzed in detail and the optimal on-time is obtained to minimize the total harmonic distortion with a digital controller using a TMS320F28335. The switch on-time varies according to the input voltage based on the computed optimal on-time. The performance of the proposed control method is verified by a 100W PFC converter. It is shown that the optimized on-time reduces the total harmonic distortion about 52% (from 10.48% to 5.5%) at 220V when compared to the variable on-time control method.

원자력발전소의 발전소보호계통과 같은 안전필수 시스템은 예상 가능한 사고로부터 인간과 자연을 보호하기 위한 중요 기능을 수행하는 시스템으로써, 어떠한 조건 하에서도 고유의 안전기능을 안정적으로 수행할 수 있도록 설계되어야 한다. 원자력발전소의 안전필수 기능을 수행하는 계측제어시스템에 적용되는 최신의 컴퓨터에는 다양한 하부기기를 감시 및 제어하고, 응용 프로그램을 실행시키기 위한 실시간 운영체제가 탑재되어 있으며, 이러한 실시간 운영체제는 가장 엄격한 소프트웨어 품질이 요구된다. 또한, 예상 가능한 조건에서도 안전필수 시스템의 기능이 적절히 수행될 수 있도록 설계, 분석 및 평가되어야 한다. 그러나 지금까지 국내 원자력발전소 안전필수 시스템에는, 원자력 기준과 품질등급에 따라 개발된 제품이 아닌 상용제품의 실시간 운영체제를 정성적 측면에서 승인(Commercial Grade Item Dedication)하는 방식으로 적용되어 왔다. 이로 인해 실시간 운영체제가 안전필수 기능을 수행하는 데 적합한지를 평가하는 상세 방법론과 경험이 매우 부족한 것으로 파악되고 있다. 특히, 안전필수 시스템에 적용함을 목적으로 신규 개발되는 실시간 운영체제의 경우, 안전성을 평가하기 위한 적절한 방법을 도출하기에 어려움이 있는 것으로 파악되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 원전의 안전필수 기능을 수행하는 실시간 운영체제의 설계요구사항을 기반으로, 안전필수 실시간 운영체제에 대한 안전성 분석 및 평가 사례를 제시하고자 한다. 본 논문에서 제시한 상세 안전성 평가의 방법과 사례는 향후 타 산업분야에서의 안전필수 실시간 운영체제 개발 및 안전성 평가에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The effects of melting temperature and holding time on the critical current density($J_c$) of $YBa_2Cu_3O_x$ based superconducting bulk fabricated by MPMG process were investigated. The amount of the formed $Y_2BaCuO_5$ phases increased with the melting temperature. However, the value of critical current density was highest at 1120 $^{\circ}C$. With this proper melting temperature, the effect of holding time on the critical characteristics was also investigated. In the case of Ag addition, the volume of the formed $Y_2BaCuO_5$ phase when the amount of Ag addition was 10 wt% and 20 wt% was observed to be highest at 20 minute and 40 minute respectively. But in the specimen without Ag, volume of $Y_2BaCuO_5$ phase increased as the holding time increased. The proper melting temperature and the holding time obtained were 1120 $^{\circ}C$ and 20 minute. The long holding time was not effective for the $J_c$ improvement as well as the formation of $Y_2BaCuO_5$.
