This study simulates a typical solar system using the transient simulation program TRNSYS, and calculates the maximum cooling load of the model room of $50m^2$. In this study, energy rate control method is used in calculating a maximum cooling load. On the ground of the maximum cooling load of the model room, the variables that have an effect on the solar collection performance of the solar system are made a selection. Also in this study the trend of the solar collection performance is shown as the variables change. The results show that the variables which have an effect on the collection performance are collector area, collector mass flow rate, collector slope and the volume of storage tank, and the optimal value of Ac/Vt is not constant but varies as the collector area and the collector mass flow rate. Also the results show that for cooling system the optimal value of the collector slope is latitude minus $15^{\circ}$ during the seasonal operations, and twenty percent of the maximum cooling load is saved with the aid of the solar energy.

The demands for photovoltaic systems on a large scale have grown dramatically and require new technologies to get the high efficiency and reliable operations of power conversion systems. These needs can be realized by the cost-effective and high performance digital revolutions and faster semiconductor switching devices. However, the new power systems have been more sophisticated and their reliability becomes critical issues. In this paper, a new fault-tolerance power conversion scheme for the photovoltaic systems is proposed. The proposed fault-tolerant scheme is able to supply energy from solar panels to loads intermittently in spite of a front boost converter open failure, and its voltage and current controllers are designed to improve the transient performance by using an average model design scheme. The proposed approach is verified both by simulations. The results will enable more timely and wide usage of alternative/renewable energy systems resulting in increased energy security.

Cylindrical stainless-steel/sodium heat pipe for a high-temperature solar thermal application was manufactured and tested for transient and steady-state operations. Two layers of stainless-steel screen mesh wick was inserted as a capillary structure. The outer diameter of the heat pipe was 12.7 mm and the total length was 250 mm. The effective heat transport length, the thermal load, and the operating temperature were varied as thermal transport conditions of the heat pipe. The thermal load was supplied by an electric furnace up to 1kW and the cooling was performed by forced convection of air The effective thermal conductivity and the thermal resistance were investigated as a function of heat flux, heat transport length, and vapor temperature. Typical range of the total effective thermal conductivity was as low as 43,500 W/m K for heat flux of 176.4 kW/$m^2$ and of operating temperature of 1000 K.

Due to the reduction in device feature size, transient faults (soft errors) in logic circuits induced by radiations increase dramatically. Many researches have been done in modeling and analyzing the susceptibility of sequential circuit elements caused by soft errors. However, to the best knowledge of the authors, there is no work which has well considerated the feedback characteristics and the multiple clock cycles of sequential circuits. In this paper, we present a new method for evaluating the susceptibility of sequential circuit elements to soft errors. The proposed method uses four Error Propagation Probability Matrixs (EPPMs) to represent the error propagation probability of logic gates and flip-flops in current clock cycle. Based on the predefined matrix union operations, the susceptibility of circuit elements in multiple clock cycles can be evaluated. Experimental results on ISCAS'89 benchmark circuits show that our method is more accurate and efficient than previous methods.

The introduction of inexpensive cylinder pressure sensors provides new opportunities for precise engine control. This paper presents a control strategy of spark advance based upon cylinder pressure of spark ignition engines. A location of peak pressure(LPP) is the major parameter for controlling the spark timing, and also the UP is estimated, using a multi-layer feedforward neural network, which needs only five pressure sensor output voltage samples at -40˚, -20˚, 0˚, 20˚, 40˚ after top dead center. The neural network plays an important role in mitigating the A/D conversion load of an electronic engine controller by increasing the sampling interval from 10 crank angle(CA) to 20˚ CA. A proposed control algorithm does not need a sensor calibration and pegging(bias calculation) procedure because the neural network estimates the UP from the raw sensor output voltage. The estimated LPP can be regarded as a good index for combustion phasing, and can also be used as an MBT control parameter. The feasibility of this methodology is closely examined through steady and transient engine operations to control individual cylinder spark advance. The experimental results have revealed a favorable agreement of individual cylinder optimal combustion phasing.

Mechanical systems installed in transport devices, such as vehicles, airplanes, and ships, are mostly subject to translational accelerations at the joints during operations. This base acceleration excitation has a large influence on the performance of the system, therefore, its response must be well analyzed. However, the existing methods for dynamic analysis of structures have some limitations in use. This study presents a new numerical method using relative acceleration to solve these limitations. If the governing equation of motion is linear and the mass matrix, the damping matrix, and the stiffness matrix are constant over time in the finite element analysis, the proposed method can be applied to the transient behavior analysis and the harmonic response analysis of the structure. Because it is not necessary to introduce a virtual mass and the rigid body motions are removed from the analysis, it is possible to use not only the direct integration method in the time domain but also the mode superposition method to obtain the dynamic responses. This paper demonstrates with three examples how the present method is suitable for the dynamic analysis of a structure with multi-degree of freedom.

This paper investigates a power supply of medium voltage with enhanced ignition characteristics for plasma torches. A series resonant half-bridge topology is presented as a suitable ignition circuitry. The ignition circuitry is integrated into the main power conversion system of a multi-phase staggered three-level dc-dc converter with a diode front-end rectifier. A plasma torch rated at 3MW, 2kA and having a physical size of 1m is selected to be the high enthalpy source for a waste disposal system. The steady-state and transient operations of a plasma torch are simulated. The parameters of a Cassie-Mary arc model are calculated based on 3D magneto-hydrodynamic simulations. The circuit simulation waveform shows that the ripple of the arc current can be maintained within ${\pm}10%$ of its rated value under the presence of a load disturbance. This power conversion configuration provides a high enough ignition voltage, around 5KA, during the ignition phase and high arc stability under the existence of arc disturbance noise resulting in a high-performance plasma torch system.

Acoustic emission(AE) is defined as the transient elastic waves thar are generated by the rapid release of energy. The advantage of AE is that very early crack growth can be detected well before a highly stressed component may fail. At present, an exact diagnosis is the most reliable means for determining the soundness of structures during power plant operations. AE monitoring has been applied successfully in power plants to determine mechanical problems, pressure vessel integrity and external valves leaks, vacuum leaks, the onset of cavitation in pumps and valves, the presence of flow(or no flow) in piping and heat exchange equipment, etc. Acoustic emission(AE) technology has recently strengthened its application base, and practitioners' understanding of the technique's fundamentals. This paper introduces the methods of a survey and assessment on AE monitoring applications in nuclear, fossil and hydraulic power plant. The main objective of this paper was to obtain information on various applications of AE technology in power plant.

The oxidation and recrystallization behaviors of Ni-base single crystal superalloy, CMSX-2 were investigated to determine the condition of the preparation for transient liquid phase (TLP) bonding operations. The faying surfaces of CMSX-2 were worked by the shot peening, fine cutting and mechanical polishing treatments and the degree of working of treated surfaces was evaluated by the hardness test and X-ray diffraction method CMSX-2 was heat-treated at 1,173∼1.589k for 3.6ks in vacuum of 4mPa. The mechanically polished surface was slightly oxidized after heat treatment even in the vacuum atmosphere of 4mPa. The thickness of an oxide film increased with increasing the heating temperature and the surface roughness of the faying surface. Recrystallization occurred at the surface after heat treatment at above 1,423K when the hardness was increased more than Hv600 by the shot peening treatment while the mechanically polished or fine cut surfaces didn't recrystallized. Based on these results, it was clearfied that the mechanically polishing with fine abrasive grit could be used for the preparation of faying surface of CMSX-2 before bonding operation.

본 논문은 고전압 실험실에서 시변성 전자계의 측정 및 평가에 관한 것으로 전자적 외란은 주로 전력장비의 지락고장 및 개폐조작에 의해 기인되며, 전자회로와 제어장비틀은 전자방해작용에 매우 민감하다. 주어진 전자환 경에 대한 전자방해작용의 레벨을 평가하는 것은 필수적이다. 전계는 40 Hz-2oo MHz 범위의 대역폭을 갖는 전계센서로 관측되었으며, 시변성 자계는 출력이 입사신호에 직접적으로 비례하는 루프형 센서로 측정되었다. 또한 진동성 과도전류와 차단파 임펄스전압에 의해 유도된 전자방해작용의 레벨파 전자 차폐의 외함설계에 관한 정보를 주는 사변성 전자계의 주파수 성분을 고속프리에변환으로 분석하였다.
