The discharge characteristics of the radio frequency (RF) surface dielectric barrier discharge have been simulated for the investigation of the ratio of the ion transit time to the RF period. From one-dimensional particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation for a planar dielectric barrier discharge (DBD), it was observed that the high-frequency driving voltage confines the ions in the plasma because of a shorter RF period than the ion transit time. For two-dimensional surface dielectric barrier discharges, a fluid simulation is performed to investigate the characteristics of RF discharges from 1 MHz to 40 MHz. The ratio of the peak density to the average density decreases with the increasing frequency, and the spatiotemporal discharge patterns change abruptly with the change in the ratio of ion transit time to the RF period.

3D formed Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) and hole EDM were conducted for die and mold manufacturing with electrodes which were made by mechanical machining and wire EDM. It is difficult to machine the hardened material after heat treatment and quenching with traditional machining. The only method of machining hardened material is die-sinking EDM. In this research, hole EDM was conducted for heat-treated cold-worked tool steel (SKD11) for use as a die material. The EDM surfaces were analyzed by pulse-on time and peak current of EDM current, according to the machining conditions of EDM. The EDM surface profiles were affected by the peak current. The contribution of each factor is peak current (91.63%) and pulse-on time (0.93%). The best surface roughness was obtained with a $130{\mu}s$ pulse-on time and a 14.2 A peak current. With uniform EDM processing, the surface deteriorated with increasing pulse-on time and peak current. The thickness of the solidified layer induced by EDM was increased as the peak current, crater shapes, and erupted shapes of EDM surfaces were increased. Therefore, microcracking gaps induced by surface tension were increased.

A point-to-mesh type discharge system, utilizing a water-pen point as a corona discharge electrode and a mesh as an ion induction electrode, has been proposed, and the effect of the water-pen point electrode of the discharge system to the ionic wind velocity and generation yield was investigated. It was observed that the proposed discharge system with the water-pen point electrode can generate a higher ionic wind velocity as compared with that of the metal point electrode. As a result, the peak ionic wind velocities of 2.61 and 4.05 m/s for the positive and negative corona discharges of the proposed discharge system can be obtained, which are 1.39 and 1.15 times higher than those of the metal point electrode with same design. The ionic wind generation yield of 4.72 m/s/W of the discharge system with the water-pen point electrode was obtained for the positive corona, which was 3.66 times higher than that of the metal point electrode. This enhancement may be due to the effect of the water-pen point electrode.

The increased water level caused by tidal motion at Indokyo is analyzed by the NETWORK model. The tidal effect is studied for 3 real floods in 1990 and 8 classified hypothetical floods in which the peak discharges are in the range of 2, 000-20, 000CMS. The result of numerical simulation shows that the tidal effect is decreased as the flood is increased. The surged level is 50cm when the flood discharge is 2, 000CMS, showing that its effect is considerable. However it shows only 9cm when the discharge is 7, 000CMS which corresponds to 4.5cm of standard flood level of MOC. Therefore, so it may be possible to neglect the influence of the tidal fluctuation when the peak discharge of a flood is bigger than 7, 000CMS.

In this research, nitrogen (N)-doped zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films have been grown on a sapphire substrate by dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) in pulsed laser deposition (PLD). DBD has been used as an effective way for massive in-situ generation of N-plasma under conventional PLD process conditions. Low-temperature photoluminescence spectra of N-doped ZnO thin films provided near-band-edge emission after a thermal annealing process. The emission peak was resolved by Gaussian fitting and showed a dominant acceptor-bound excitation peak ($A^{\circ}X$) that indicated acceptor doping of ZnO with N. The acceptor binding energy of the N acceptor was estimated to be approximately 145 MeV based on the results of temperature-dependent photoluminescence (PL) measurements.

LiMn$_2$O$_4$ is prepared by reacting stoichiometric mixture of LiOH . $H_2O$ and MnO$_2$ (mole ratio 1 ; 1) and heating at 80$0^{\circ}C$, $700^{\circ}C$ for 24h, 36h, 48h, 60h and 72h. We obtained through X-ray diffraction that lattice parameter varied as function of calcined temperature and time. Cathode active materials calcined at 80$0^{\circ}C$ for 36h, (111)/(311) peak ratio was 0.37. It showed good charge/discharge characteristics. When (111)/(311) peak ratio was 0.37, it was that crystal structure is formed very well. In the result of charge/discharge test, when heated at 80$0^{\circ}C$ for 36h, charge/discharge characteristics of LiMn$_2$O$_4$ is the best.

When dielectric surface electric field exceed any electric field strength on air, corona discharge is occurred from the dielectric surface. This paper presents corona discharge phenomena on the dielectric in high field were studied under application of ${\pm}DC$ voltage, constitute of the point to plane 20mm gap. The results obtained in experimental are summarized as follow :(1) Corona pulse is appeared periodically after first corona pulse is occurred and the number of corona pulse increases with the instantaneous applied voltage but peak value is not changed greatly.(2)Applied voltage to beccrite and characteristics and peak value of current are almost a straight line. That kind of tendency accorded with characteristics of beccrite resistance.(3)In case of Positive corona, Positive streamers, were progressed greatly to plane electrodes but In case of negative corona, negative streamers smaller than that of Positive corona.

Thrust force induced by the dielectric barrier discharge inside of cylinder pipes is measured for various conditions. The input peak-to-peak voltage and frequency are varied from 2 to 9 kVpp and from 5 to 15 kHz, respectively. The height of cylinder is varied from 50 to 100 mm. The results of the measurements show that the magnitude of the generated thrusts increases as the voltage and the frequencies increase. It also shows that the generated thrusts are decreased according to the increase in the height of the cylinder. The cause of the thrust decrease is discussed in terms of energy losses due to the frictions on the wall surface.

An innovative ozonizer has been developed using a high frequency, surface discharge and a high purity Ti-Si-AI ceramic catalyst as a dielectric component. Using a type of thin film, a thin cylindrical compound ceramic catalyst layer was adhered to the outside surface of its inner electrode. An alternating current (AC) exciting voltage with frequencies from 0.6 KHz to 1.0 KHz and peak-to-peak voltages of 4-6 ㎸ was applied between the electrodes to produce a stable high-frequency silent discharge. A substantial reduction of the exciting voltage was also enabled by means of a thin Ti-Si-Al ceramic catalyst tube. As a result, the ozonizer can effortlessly obtain the required ozone concentration (50-60 g/$m^2$ for oxygen) and high ozone efficiency consumption power (180 g/kWh for oxygen) with-out the assistance of any particular methods. For purposes of this experiment, oxygen gas temperature was set at 2$0^{\circ}C$, with an inner reactor pressure of 1.6 atm at 600 Hz and a flow rate of 2 l/min.

Realistic containment analyses for large LOCA using a merged torsion of RELAP5/CONTEMPT4 are conducted. Analyzed are Generic LOCA with respect to the mass and energy releases from the RCS and containment pressure and temperature behaviors. The break locations considered are the double-ended guillotine breaks at the RCP discharge and hot legs for UCN 3&4 plants. For discharge leg break. the predicted containment pressure and temperature reach a peak during blowdown phase, thereafter the pressure and temperature decrease gradually without the second reflood peak. For the hot leg break it is found that the bypass break flow through the broken steam generator-during post-blowdown is negligibly small so that the containment atmosphere is not pressurized after the end of blowdown.
