In magnetically coupled resonant (MCR) wireless power transfer (WPT) systems, the introduction of additional intermediate coils is an effective means of improving transmission characteristics, including output power and transmission efficiency, when the transmission distance is increased. However, the position of intermediate coils in practice influences system performance significantly. In this research, a three-coil MCR WPT system is adopted as an exemplification for determining how the spatial position of coils affects transmission characteristics. With use of the fundamental harmonic analysis method, an equivalent circuit model of the system is built to reveal the relationship between the output power, the transmission efficiency, and the spatial scales, including the axial, lateral, and angular misalignments of the intermediate and receiving coils. Three cases of transmission characteristics versus different spatial scales are evaluated. Results indicate that the system can achieve relatively stable transmission characteristics with deliberate adjustments in the position of the intermediate and receiving coils. A prototype of the three-coil MCR WPT system is built and analyzed, and the experimental results are consistent with those of the theoretical analysis.

This paper proposes a high efficiency wireless power transfer system with an asymmetric 4-coil resonator. It presents a theoretical analysis, an optimal design method, and experimental results. In the proposed asymmetric 4-coil system, the primary side consists of a source coil and two transmitter coils which are called intermediate coils, and in the secondary side, a load coil serves as a receiver coil. In the primary side, two intermediate coils boost the apparent coupling coefficient at around the operating frequency. Because of this double boosting effect, the system with an asymmetric 4-coil resonator has a higher efficiency than the conventional symmetric 4-coil system. The prototype operates at 90 kHz ofswitching frequency and has 200 mm of the power transmission distance between the primary side and the secondary side. An AC-DC overall system efficiency of 96.56% has been achieved at 3.3 kW of output power.

In this paper, the wireless power transfer system using the magnetic resonance was designed, analyzed by circuit analysis methode and the calculated transfer function was compared with the measured one. The self-resonant coil was made up of the commonly used capacitor which had the lumped capacitance and it enabled the stable magnetic resonance not to be affected by the circumstance. The transmission efficiency of this system was 70[%] at the 15[cm] between the transmission and receiving coil and the measured transfer function was similar to the calculated one, which means the circuit analysis methode is valid in this system. When the intermediate coils were added between the transmission and receiving coil, the transmission efficiency was increased, which produced the increase of transfer distance. In the case of the five intermediate coils adding, the 35[%] transmission efficiency was achived at the 90[cm] distance.

Various research groups and private interprises are pursuing the design of a Molten Salt Reactor (MSR) as one of the Generation-IV concepts. In the current work a fast neutron MSR using chloride fuel is analyzed, specially analyzing the power production and neutron flux level in the Intermediate Heat Exchanger (IHX). The neutronic analysis in this work is based on a chloride-fuel MSR with 600 MW thermal power. The core power density was set to 100 MW m-3 with a core H/D [[EQUATION]] 1.0 amd four Intermediate Heat Exchanger (IHX). This leads to a power of 150 MW per IHX; this power is also comparable to the IHX proposed in the SAMOFAR framework. In this work, a preliminary design of a 150 MW helical-coil IHX for a chloride-fueled MSR is prepared and the fission rate, capture rate, and inelastic scatter rate are evaluated.

This paper is tried to analysis the optical emission spectroscopy related to the position of inductive load coil and flow rates of methane and oxygen in the RF inductive plasma process. According to the position of load coil, peak of $H_{\alpha}$, $H_{\beta}$, and CH were appeared strongly at the middle position of the coil and it decreased both direction. The electron temperature was approximately 0.9[eV] at that position. Emission intensities of $H_{\alpha}$, $H_{\beta}$, and CH increased linearly by increasing input power. In addition, intensities of $H_{\alpha}$ and $H_{\beta}$ increased by increasing the flow rate of oxygen. It might be ascribed that the oxygen species were bonded with $C_nH_m$ by suppressing the combination with hydrogen atoms. Consequently, the optimal position of the inductive coil is decided to the intermediate position between 4th and 5th turns, the wanted carbon thin-film is possible to deposit by controlling flow rates of methane and oxygen.

The pulsed field magnetization of the short-circuited soldered double pancake coil made of stabilized commercial high-Tc superconductor (HTS) tape is experimentally studied. The evolution of the shielding current induced by the pulsed field and the trapped field after the pulsed magnetization was measured at 77 K. It is shown that the trapped field in the coil is close to the value reached in the field cooling process and reduces weakly at 5-fold increasing of pulsed field amplitude. The current relaxation at t~2 ms after the pulse is defined by the current sharing between the tape's copper coating and the $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-d}$ layer. In the intermediate time scale (1 s < t < 100 s) the flux creep in HTS layer dominates. At t > 100 s the current's relaxation is defined by the resistance of soldered joint between tapes.

We have developed an alternating magnetic field stimulation system consisting of a switched-mode power supply and a digital control circuit which modulates a duty ratio to maintain a magnetic field intensity of a few mT even while the frequency increases up to 4 kHz with a controllable coil temperature below $30^{\circ}C$ in air. This duty ratio modulation and water circulation are advantageous for cell culture under ac-magnetic field stimulation by preventing the incubator from exceeding a cell-viable temperature of $37^{\circ}C$. Although the temperature of the coil when subjected to a sinusoidal voltage rapidly increased, that of our system modulated by the duty factor did not change. This is a potentially valuable method to investigate the effects of intermediate frequency magnetic field stimulation on biological entities such as cells, tissues and organs.

Despite the recent growth of interest in molten salt reactor technology and the crucial role which heat transfer plays in the design of power reactors, specific studies on the design of heat exchangers for the Molten Salt Fast Reactor have not yet been performed. In this work we deliver a preliminary but quantitative analysis of the intermediate heat exchangers, based on reference design data from the SAMOFAR H2020-Euratom project. Two different promising reference technologies are selected for study thanks to their compactness features, the Printed Circuit and the Helical Coil heat exchangers. We present preliminary design results for each technology, based on simplified design tools. Results highlight the limiting effects of the compactness constraints imposed on the fuel salt inventory and the allowed size. Large pressure drops on both flow sides are to be expected, with negative consequences on pumping power and natural circulation capabilities. The small size required for the flow channels also represents possible fabrication issues and safety concerns regarding channel blockage.

본 논문은 핵자기 공명신호를 검출하기 위하여 자석상자 내에 한 개의 코일을 가진 펄스방식의 핵자기 공명장치에 대한 새로운 구현방법에 관한 것이다. 수소 원자핵의 Larmor 주파수가 5MHz가 되도록 설계된 자석상자에 5MHz 고주파 자기장을 인가하여 자석상자 내에 투입된 글리세린 시료로부터 수소 원자핵의 공명신호를 얻었다. 자석상자 내의 정자기장은 자기장의 세기가 1168 gauss인 영구자석을 사용하여 만들었으며, 고주파 자기장은 5MHz의 주파수를 가지며 전류의 크기가 8A인 고주파 신호를 5.73μH의 코일에 인가하여 발생시켰다. 고주파 자기장의 발생시간을 2.8μsec로 하였을 때 핵자기 공명신호는 최대 크기로 나타났으며, 반복 검출을 하기 위하여 고주파 자기장의 발생주기를 100msec로 설계하였다. 시료에서 발산되어 자석상자 내의 코일에 감지되는 핵자기 공명신호는 Larmor 주파수와 같은 주파수를 가지는 신호가 진폭변조된 형태로 나타났다. 코일에 감지된 신호를 송수신 분리회로와 전치증폭기 및 중간증폭기에서 각각 20.7dB, 36dB 및 40dB로 증폭하고 동기검파회로에서 검파하여 핵자기 공명신호를 얻었다.
