This paper deals with the characteristics of partial discharge (PD) for the purpose of a condition based maintenance (CBM) of gas insulated switchgears (GIS) in power equipment. Four types of electrode systems such as a protrusion on enclosure (POE), a particle on spacer (POS), a free particle (FP) and a Floating were designed and fabricated. PD pulses were measured using UHF sensor with a frequency range of 300 MHz~1.4 GHz and a DAQ with a sampling rate of 250 MS/s. Discharge inception voltage (DIV), discharge extinction voltage (DEV), and phase resolved partial discharge (PRPD) were analyzed depending on electrode systems. The average DIV in the POS was 28.8 kV. It was about 1.7 times higher than that in the FP, which was the lowest value of 17.2 kV. The FP shuffled and jumped at the applied voltage of 23.5 kV. Over 95% of PD pulses in the POE were generated in the negative polarity ($181^{\circ}{\sim}360^{\circ}$) of applied voltage. The results showed the phase (${\Phi}$)-magnitude (dBm) of PD pulses by UHF sensor, a cluster was formed separately depending on electrode systems.

Stochastic rainfall generators or stochastic simulation have been widely employed to generate synthetic rainfall sequences which can be used in hydrologic models as inputs. The calibration of Poisson cluster stochastic rainfall generator (e.g. Modified Bartlett-Lewis Rectangular Pulse, MBLRP) is seriously affected by local minima that is usually estimated from the local optimization algorithm. In this regard, global optimization techniques such as particle swarm optimization and shuffled complex evolution algorithm have been proposed to better estimate the parameters. Although the global search algorithm is designed to avoid the local minima, reliable parameter estimation of MBLRP model is not always feasible especially in a limited parameter space. In addition, uncertainty associated with parameters in the MBLRP rainfall generator has not been properly addressed yet. In this sense, this study aims to develop and test a Bayesian model based parameter estimation method for the MBLRP rainfall generator that allow us to derive the posterior distribution of the model parameters. It was found that the HBM based MBLRP model showed better performance in terms of reproducing rainfall statistic and underlying distribution of hourly rainfall series.

Graphite particle/carbon fiber hybrid conductive polymer composites were fabricated by the compression molding technique. Graphite particles were mixed with an epoxy resin to impart the electrical conductivity in the composite materials. In this study, graphite reinforced conductive polymer composites with high filler loadings were manufactured to accomplish high electrical conductivity above 100S/cm. Graphite particles were the main filler to increase the electrical conductivity of composites by direct contact between graphite particles. While high filler loadings are needed to attain good electrical conductivity, the composites becomes brittle. So carbon fiber was added to compensate weakened mechanical property. With increasing the carbon fiber loading ratio, the electrical conductivity gradually decreased because non-conducting regions were generated in the carbon fiber cluster among carbon fibers, while the flexural strength increased. In the case of carbon fiber 20wt.% of the total system, the electrical conductivity decreased 27%, whereas the flexural strength increased 12%.

In this study, yttrium-doped $SiO_2$ nanoparticles are synthesized using a reverse micelle technique combined with metal alkoxide hydrolysis and condensation. Spherical Y-doped $SiO_2$ nanoparticles with a uniform size distribution are prepared using selfassembly molecules in conjunction with the hydrolysis and condensation of organometallic precursors. The water/surfactant molar ratio influenced the Y-doped $SiO_2$ particles distribution of the core-shell composite particles and the distribution of Y doped $SiO_2$ particles was broadened as the water to surfactant ratio increased. The particle size of Y increase linearly as the $Y(NO_3)_3$ solution concentration increased. The average size of the cluster was found to depend on the micelle size, the nature of the solvent, and the concentration of the reagent. The effects of synthesis parameters, such as the molar ratio of water to surfactant and the molar ratio of water to TEOS, are discussed.

열분해 반응기 내에서 실리콘 필름을 성장시키는 것은 반도체/디스플레이, 태양전지, 신소재 등 다양한 분야에서 중요한 공정이다. 더욱이 반도체 소자 선폭이 줄어들면서 나노입자의 오염 제어가 더불어 중요해지고 있다. 생산 공정 기술의 집적화에 따라 패턴 사이 거리가 작아지고, 이에 불과 수 십 나노미터크기의 오염입자에 의해서 패턴불량이 발생하고 생산수율을 감소시킨다. 일반적으로 반도체 공정 중 발생한 오염입자는 반응기 내의 가스가 물리/화학적 공정에 의해 핵생성(nucleation)이 일어나 핵(nuclei)이 생성되고, 이 때 표면반응 및 응집(coagulation)에 의해 성장하게 된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 열분해 반응기 내에서 사일렌(SiH4) 가스를 열분해하여 발생되는 실리콘 오염입자의 핵생성과 성장 모델을 정립하고, 생성된 오염입자의 거동과 전달 현상을 이론적으로 고찰하였다. 열분해 반응기와 같은 기상공정(Gas to particle conversion)에서 오염입자가 생성될 때, 그 성질과 크기 등에 물리/화학적 영향을 주는 요소는 전구체/이송기체의 농도 및 유량, 작동 압력, 작동 온도와 반응기 고유 특성 등이 있다. 수치해석의 정당성과 빠른 계산을 위해 단순화시킨 0D 모델인 Batch 반응기와 1D모델인 plug flow 반응기 등에서 SiH4 가스의 열분해 과정시 생성되는 Si cluster를 상용코드인 CHEMKIN 4.1.1을 이용하여 계산하였으며, 2D모델인 Shear flow 반응기로 확장시켜 Si 오염입자가 생성특성을 연구하였다.

Introduction of CNTs into a metal matrix has been considered to improve the mechanical properties of the metal matrix. However, the binding energy between metals and pristine CNTs wall is known to be so small that the interfacial slip between CNTs and the matrix occurs at a relatively low external stress. The interfacial strength between CNT and metal matrix is thus one of the key factors for successful development of the CNT/metal composites. Defective or functionalized CNT has been considered to enhance the interfacial strength of nanocomposites. In the present work, we design the various realistic hybrid structures of the single wall CNT/Cu complexes and characterize the interaction between single wall CNTs and Cu nano-particle and Cu13 cluster using first principle calculations. The characteristics of functionalized CNTs with various surface functional groups, such as -COOH, -OH, and -O interacting with Cu are investigated. We found that the binding energy can be enhanced by the surface functional group including oxygen since the oxygen atom can mediate and reinforce the interaction between carbon and Cu. These results strongly support the recent experimental work which suggested the oxygen on the interface playing an important role in the excellent mechanical properties of the CNT/Cu composite.

은하단에 속한 은하들의 광도함수에 의하면, 어두운 은하들(MB>-18,확인요망)의 수가 이 론적 예측에 비해 현저하게 적게 관측된다. 우리는 이와 같은 "어두운 은하들의 결핍 현상"을 설명하기위해 은하단 간의 충돌/병합과 같은 역학적 기원론을 제시하고자 한다. 본 연구는 은하단 간의 충돌/병합 과정에서 비교적 작은 질량의 은하들이 은하단의 중력적 구속에서 벗어날 가능성이 높다는 점에 착안하였다. 이러한 가능성을 검증하기 위해 (ㄱ) 우주론적 다. 체수치모사의 방법을 활용하고, (ㄴ) 유체수치모사에서 도입하여 발전시킨 "어떤 주어진 입자로부터 N번째 떨어진 입자의 거리 분석(N-th Particle)"이라는 새로운 방법으로 다체입자들의 공간분포 해석을 시도하였다. 이러한 방대한 자료를 효과적으로 분석하기 위해, GPU(Graphic Processing Unit)를 기반으로 설계된 분석 알고리즘을 독자 개발하였다.

단일금속 나노입자에 비해 나노합금입자는 발광이나 촉매력과 같은 여러 특징들이 더 뛰어나게 나타난다고 잘 알려져 있다. 이에 따라 실험적인 연구뿐 아니라 이론적으로도 나노합금입자의 특성과 구조를 밝히려는 노력이 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 대부분의 연구는 자유공간을 상정하여 진행되고 있어, 갇힌 공간 속의 입자에 대한 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 이러한 배경으로 본 연구에서는 Sutton-Chen (SC) 포텐셜을 주요 이론으로 하여, 복제교환분자동력학(replica exchange molecular dynamics, REMD) 모의실험을 통해 가두는 공간의 크기에 따라 금-팔라듐 나노합금입자(Au17Pd17)의 구조와 특성이 어떻게 달라지는지 EDISON에 등록된 metal_alloy 프로그램(molecular dynamics simulation of metal alloy nano-cluster)을 사용해 살펴보았다. 결과적으로 입자가 상전이 이전의 낮은 온도에서 존재하면, 둘러싼 공간의 크기와 무관하게 안정한 구조의 중심에 항상 팔라듐 원자가 위치한다는 것이 확인되었다. 또, 가두는 공간의 크기마다 상전이가 일어나는 온도 구간의 차이가 나타났으며, 작은 공간에 갇힌 입자일수록 입자의 최대 직경이 작아지면서 상대적으로 높은 에너지를 가지는 구조를 형성하였다. 이는 입자가 존재하는 공간이 좁을수록 에너지의 증가를 통하면서 최대한 공간을 활용할 수 있는 구조를 선택하는 것으로 보인다.

The intracluster medium (ICM) is expected to experience on average about three passages of weak shocks with low sonic Mach numbers, M ≲ 3, during the formation of galaxy clusters. Both protons and electrons could be accelerated to become high energy cosmic rays (CRs) at such ICM shocks via diffusive shock acceleration (DSA). We examine the effects of DSA by multiple shocks on the spectrum of accelerated CRs by including in situ injection/acceleration at each shock, followed by repeated re-acceleration at successive shocks in the test-particle regime. For simplicity, the accelerated particles are assumed to undergo adiabatic decompression without energy loss and escape from the system, before they encounter subsequent shocks. We show that in general the CR spectrum is flattened by multiple shock passages, compared to a single episode of DSA, and that the acceleration efficiency increases with successive shock passages. However, the decompression due to the expansion of shocks into the cluster outskirts may reduce the amplification and flattening of the CR spectrum by multiple shock passages. The final CR spectrum behind the last shock is determined by the accumulated effects of repeated re-acceleration by all previous shocks, but it is relatively insensitive to the ordering of the shock Mach numbers. Thus multiple passages of shocks may cause the slope of the CR spectrum to deviate from the canonical DSA power-law slope of the current shock.

Water vapor has received worldwide large attention due to its broad technological implications ranged from resource production and environmental remediation. Especially, one of the typical areas where the water vapor is important is the removal of PM (particulate matter) which causes a critical hazard to human health. However, most vapor-based PM removal methods are limited in removing PM2.5 by using relatively large water droplets and consume large energy. Here, we propose a superhydrophilic thermally-insulated macroporous membrane to generate steam flow. The water vapor directly captures PM with steam flow and hygroscopic characteristic of PM. The steam, the cluster of water vapor, from the membrane gives rise to high removal efficiencies compared to those of the control case without light illumination. To reveal PM removal mechanism, the steam flow and PM were quantitatively analyzed using PIV measurement. The proposed steam generator could be utilized as an economical and ecofriendly platform for effective PM removal at a fairly low cost in a sustainable, energy-free, and harmless-to-human manner.
