In this paper, the solenoid for high-voltage circuit breaker which is composed of bobbin, solenoid coil, stationary core and plunger was studied. The solenoid is made of a soft magnetic iron bar with a large number of coil windings. when an electric current passes through this, this stationary core becomes the strong magnet used for hydraulic and pneumatic valve of a solenoid operated valve. For the performance evaluation of the solenoid for high-voltage circuit breaker, electromagnetic characteristics and dynamic characteristics were analyzed. And, the parameters which is related to performance improvement were investigated.

Magnetic resonance velocimeter (MRV) is a powerful tool to non-invasively measure the velocity of a fluid flow in various fields ranging from medicine to engineering. However, since the demands for accurate measurement in the solid/liquid interface for cardiovascular diseases and porous media increase, the improvement of spatial resolution is required. In this study, a solenoid RF coil is developed for high spatial resolution measurement. The signal-to-noise ratio in solenoid RF coil is increased seventeen times better than that in commercial coil. Moreover, the velocity distribution of Hagen-Poiseuille flow is measured with in-plane resolution of $36{\mu}m$ by $36{\mu}m$ and the accuracy of the measured velocity is compared with theoretical distribution of the laminar flow. Flow rate calculated by MRV is estimated with the flow rate injected by syringe pump.

In this research, we studied on improvement of the attraction force of solenoid operated valve for normal operation in harsh environment like vessel. Attraction force of the solenoid valves is effected by the B-H characteristics of magnetic material and the size of coil. In order to specify impact of the affection, we performed the B-H characteristics test and attraction force. Test results show that magnetic flux densities of the materials are difference each other more than 2 times in same magnetic intensity, and attraction force of the solenoid valve is 1.7 times difference as changes of resistance and the number of coil winding of solenoid.

Inductive superconducting fault current limiter(SFCL) with DC reator rated on 6.6k $V_{rms}$/200 $A_{rms}$ has been developed in Yonsei University. The development of the DC reactor is the key technology in this type SFCL. This paper deals with the fabrication and characteristic test of the DC reactor. For the development of this magnet, the winding machine for high-Tc superconducting solenoid was manufactured. Using this machine, a large-scale HTS solenoid using Bi-2223 tape was fabricated successfully. This coil has 5 layers which are connected in series each other. The inductance of the DC reactor coil is 84mB. The cooling system was the sub-cooled nitrogen whose temperature is about 65K. The characteristic test of the coil was performed. The full quench current of this coil is about 490A.90A.

Solenoid valve cleaner is used for clean the solenoid valve in automatic transmission for a car when it is clogged with transmission oil sludge. Nevertheless when the solenoid is turned off, the residual current in the solenoid coil makes slow motion of the plunger in the solenoid which makes lower in cleansing performance and speed. In this paper, the method of performance Improvement for solenoid valve cleaner is proposed. The residual current in the solenoid coil is eliminated rapidly by the proposed method and it improves the cleansing performance and speed. The experimental results show the validity of the reposed method.

Solenoid diaphragm fuel pump, which to replace mechanical fuel pump system by utilizing cam-shaft driving force, is in the spotlight for being a high efficient green car component. However, there is a drawback in power consumption as a solenoid diaphragm fuel pump only relies on solenoid for its flux needed in reciprocating motion. Therefore, this research proposes permanent magnet type VCM (Voice Coil Motor) fuel pump system to minimized power consumption. Furthermore, the study compares and analyzes power consumption and dynamic performance between the current and the former solenoid diaphragm pump by conducting finite element analysis with the commercial electromagnetic solver, MAXWELL.

To enhance the critical current of superconducting coil, the magnetic field experienced by superconductors in a coil should be minimized. This is true for both low $T_{c}$ and high $T_{c}$ superconductors, and the difference between the two lays in their isotropic/an-isotropic characteristics. In this paper, we propose a shape optimization algorithm to reduce radial magnetic field components in HTS solenoid to enhance the critical current of a solenoid. In the algorithm, finite element method and continuum shape design sensitivity formula were employed. The objective function is to minimize the maximum radial magnetic fields in a solenoid with a constraint of constant solenoid volume condition. In this paper, the details on algorithm are introduced and the calculated optimized shapes are presented.

Solenoid valves for space launch vehicles require the strict limitations on the size, weight and current consumption comparing to industrial solenoid valves. The preliminary design of a cryogenic and high pressure solenoid valve for propellant tank pressurization which can ensure the operation of solenoid valve under such strict limitation conditions was preformed. The Copper and Constantan materials in coil design have used to prevent the excessive rise of the current at cryogenic state. The measured current of solenoid valve at cryogenic temperature satisfies a design requirement.

This paper presents the fabrication and test of a micropump with an electromagnetic actuator and a pair of aluminum flap valves. The actuator consists of a solenoid coil, a permanent magnet and an actuator diaphragm. The actuator diaphragm is fabricated by the spin coating of silicone rubber. The valve are passive ones and are fabricated by micromachining. The deflection of the fabricated actuator diaphragm is measured with a laser vibrometer. The deflection of the actuator diaphragm is proportional to the input current. The measured deflection of the fabricated diaphragm is $400 \mum$,/TEX> when the input is 118 mApp, and the cut-off frequency is 50 Hz. The maximum flow rate of the fabricated micropump with the electromagnetic actuator is about 5$0 \muell/min$ at 5 Hz when the input current and the duty ratio of the square was are 118 mApp and 50%, respectively.
