This paper describes a model flux pump experiment recently performed at the MIT Francis Bitter Magnet Laboratory. The results of the model flux pump will be used in the development of a prototype flux pump that will be couple to a high-temperature superconductor (HTS) insert coil of a high-field NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) magnet, Such an HTS insert is unlikely to operate in persistent model because of the conductors low index(n) The flux pump can compensate fro field decay in the HTS insert coil and make the insert operate effectively in persistent mode . The flux pump, comprised essentially of a transformer an two switches. all made of superconductor, transfers into the insert coil a fraction of a magnetic energy that is first introduced in the secondary circuit of the transformer by a current supplied to the primary circuit. A model flux pump has been designed. fabricated, and operated to demonstrate that a flux pump can indeed supply a small metered current into a load superconducting magnet. A current increment in the range of microamperes has been measured in the magnet after each pumping action. The superconducting model flux pump is made of Nb$_3$ Sn tape, The pump is placed in a gaseous environment above the liquid helium level to keep its heat dissipation from directly discharged in the liquid: the effluent helium vapor maintains the thermal stability of the flux pump.

We investigate physical properties of the nearby (∼ 7.5 pc) astrometric binary μ Cas in the context of standard evolutionary theory. Based on the spectroscopically determined relative abundances ([α/Fe] ≳ +0.4 dex, [Fe/H] ∼ −0.7 dex), all physical inputs such as opacities and equation of state are consistently generated. By combining recent spectroscopic analyses with the astrometric observations from the HIPPARCOS parallaxes and the CHARA array, the evolutionary model grids have been constructed. Through the statistical evaluation of the χ²-minimization among alternative models, we find a reliable evolutionary solution (M_A, M_B, t_age) = (0.74 M_⊙, 0.19 M_⊙, 11 Gyr) which excellently satisfies observational constraints. In particular, we find that the helium abundance of μ Cas is comparable with the primordial helium contents (Y_p ∼ 0.245). On the basis of the well-defined stellar parameters of the primary star, the internal structure and the p-mode frequencies have been estimated. From our seismic computation, μ Cas is expected to have a first order spacing ∆ν ∼ 169 μHz. The ultimate goal of this study is to describe physical processes inside a low-mass star through a complete modelling from the spectroscopic observation to the evolutionary computation.

Characteristics of a gas chromatographic detector using glow discharge as the ionization source was studied in helium flow. Discharge current greater than 10$_6$ A was observed from the electric field 400 V/mm for the electrode distance 1 mm. The discharge current of 0.1~0.3 mA could be used for the detection of organic compounds. Discharge current was almost constant for the helium flow rate greater than 10 ml/min, but the discharge was easily disappeared by an injection of a small amount of organic compound in the flow rate of 0~30 ml/min. From the decrement of the discharge current depend on several compounds, it was suggested that the sensitivity of the glow discharge ionization chromatographic detector is strongly influenced by the molecular weight of the compounds.

Traces of Chloride in aqueous solution was converted to volatile HCl or $Cl_2$ by acids to be analyzed by the moderate power (500W) Helium Microwave Induced Plasma. Optimum conditions were obtained and the detection limit was found to be 4.3 ppm which is about ten times more sensitive compared to the direct analysis of aqueous samples. In addition to the batch type, a continuous type analysis was studied as well.

Spectroscopic observations of barium star ${\zeta}$ Capricornus (HD204075) obtained at the 8.2 m telescope of the European Southern Observatory, with a spectral resolving power R = 80,000 and signal to noise ratio greater than 300, were used to refine the atmospheric parameters. We found new values for effective temperature ($T_{eff}=5,300{\pm}50K$), surface gravity ($log\;g=1.82{\pm}0.15$), micro-turbulent velocity ($v_{micro}=2.52{\pm}0.10km/s$), and iron abundance ($log\;N(Fe)=7.32{\pm}0.06$). Previously published abundances of chemical elements in the atmosphere of HD204075 were analyzed and no correlations of these abundances with the second ionization potentials of these elements were found. This excludes the possible influence of accretion of hydrogen and helium atoms from the interstellar or circumstellar environment to the atmosphere of this star. The accretion of nuclear processed matter from the evolved binary companion was primary cause of the abundance anomalies. The young age of HD204075 allows an estimation of the time-scale for the creation of the abundance anomalies arising from accretion of interstellar hydrogen and helium as is the case of stars with low magnetic fields; which we estimate should exceed $10^8$ years.

The cryogenic system of RAON which is Korea's first heavy ion accelerator was numerically modeled and simulated. EcosimPro which is widely used off-the-shelf numerical software for a large scale cryogenic system was used for the simulation. The model of SRF TF cryogenic system, which is the testbed of cryomodule, was firstly established. The integrity of system of SRF TF was confirmed by comparison of simulation and experimental results. The cool-down strategy to minimize the thermal stress of the cavity was simulated and an optimal strategy was established. In addition, the influence of valve and pump control parameters on the cooling time was investigated, and optimal control parameters were also derived. The cryogenic system of SCL3 that is a low-energy acceleration section including 55 cryomodules, valve boxes, and helium supply lines was also modeled. The soundness of the thermal shield system and interlock system of SCL3 was investigated.

The biological pump is one of the important pumping mechanisms absorbing CO$_2$ from the atmosphere into the ocean and can be quantified by estimating new production. New production in the open ocean mostly depends on the supply of nitrate from the water below the mixed layer. While nitrate is affected by many biological processes, the helium isotope ($^3$He) is inert and has very simple physical properties. Using the $^3$He flux and the relation between $^3$He and NO${_3}\;{^-}$- within the thermocline, the nitrate flux supporting new production was estimated in the southern East Sea. The average ${\delta}^3$He within the mixed layer was -14$%_o$ and -l5.4$%_o$ in the winter and autumn, respectively. Through the year excess $^3$He occurs in the mixed layer except for a slight depletion of -17$%_o$ in summer. The $^3$He flux of 13$%_o$md$^{-1}$ associated with the concentration gradient at the air-sea interface was calculated from the product of the piston velocity and the excess $^3$He. Tritium decay within the mixed layer could support only 2$%_o$md$^{-1}$ of the flux. Thus, the remaining 11$%_o$md^{-1}$ could be attributed to the flux of tritiugenic $^3$He from the water below the mixed layer. Nitrate and $^3$He were positively correlated within the thermocline layer with the slope of 0.21 ${\mu}$mol kg$^{-1}$ $%_o\;^{-1}$. The annual nitrate flux estimated from the upward flux of $^3$He and the NO$_{3}\;{^-}$-$^3$He relation was 0.8${\pm}$0.2 mol(N) m$^{-2}$yr$^{-1}$. This flux corresponds to an annual new production of 64 g(C) m$^{-2}$yr$^{-1}$, which is consistent with that in the north-west Pacific.

The BaTiO3 powders extensively used as MLCC (Multilayer ceramic capacitor) in electronic ceramic in-dustry were synthesized by GNP (Glycine-Nitrate process) The powders were prepared using carbonate and alkoxide as starting materials and nitric acid was used as a solvent for starting materials as well as an oxidant for combustion. The BaTiO3 powders were synthesized using different amounts of glycine as a fuel for combustion. The characteristics of synthesized powders were examined with helium pycnometer X-ray diffraction(XRD) Brunauer-Emmett-Teller with N2 adsorption and scanning electron microscopy(SEM). It was found that single phase BaTiO3 could be formed when the as-synthesized powders were heat-treated at 100$0^{\circ}C$ When the glycine/cation molar ratio was 1,2 specific surface area was 24m2/g

Cassiopeia A supernova remnant is a young (~330 yr) remnant of Type IIb SN explosion with a massive progenitor. It shows two distinct optical knots; fast moving ejecta knots (FMKs) and quasi stationary circumstellar knots (QSFs). These knots offer an unique opportunity to explore the details of the explosion and also the end state evolution of the Type IIb SN progenitor. We have obtained NIR long-slit (30") spectra of 7 positions around the bright rim of Cas A in [Fe II] 1.644 micron using Triplespec which is a cross-dispersed near-infrared spectrograph that provides continuous wavelength coverage from 0.95-2.46um at intermediate resolution of 2700. Most of the FMKs show strong sulfur, silicon, and iron forbidden lines but no hydrogen or helium lines. The QSFs, on the other hand, show a much richer spectrum with strong hydrogen, helium, and iron lines, but no sulfur and silicon lines. We measure their fluxes and radial velocities, and derive their physical parameters such as electron density and temperature. We also measure the proper motion of these knots from two [Fe II] 1.644 micron images obtained at 3-year interval. We analyze the physical properties of these knots and discuss the evolution and explosion of the progenitor of Cas A.

In order to derive the detailed design of Thermal Shield Cryopanel. which plays a role to make the Tokamak Nuclear Fusion Equipment work at both static and efficient conditions the commercially available software package FLUENT Version 5.3, was utilized. This study investigated the effects of thermal sources and distributions on the temperatures of Lid. Body. Base. and EH-Port Cryopanel by the numerical technique whose grid generations cover the solid and 9as region of the panel. The physical model of the Thermal Shield Cryopanel is that the 10mm diameter of the pipe with 1mm thickness is soldered on the Stainless steel Panel with 4mm thickness. The heat fluxes to the panel are assumed to be by thermal radiation in the vacuum space and by conduction through the supporters. The inlet conditions of Helium gas are 20 atmospheric Pressures and 60K temperature. The panel shapes with cooling Pipes and the operational conditions to keep appropriate temperature distribution of Thermal Shield Cryopanel Have been found and suggested.
