Closely arranged CdSe and Zn doped CdSe vertical nanorod bundles were grown directly on FTO coated glass by using electrodeposition method. Structural analysis by XRD showed the hexagonal phase without any precipitates related to Zn. FE-SEM image showed end capped vertically aligned nanorods arranged closely. From the UV-vis transmittance spectra, band gap energy was found to vary between 1.94 and 1.98 eV due to the incorporation of Zn. Solar cell parameters were obtained by assembling photoelectrochemical cells using CdSe and CdSe:Zn photoanodes, Pt cathode and polysulfide (1M $Na_2S$ + 1M S + 1M NaOH) electrolyte. The efficiency was found to increase from 0.16 to 0.22 upon Zn doping. Electrochemical impedance spectra (EIS) indicate that the charge-transfer resistance on the FTO/CdSe/polysulfide interface was greater than on FTO/CdSe:Zn/polysulfide. Cyclic voltammetry results also indicate that the FTO/CdSe:Zn/polysulfide showed higher activity towards polysulfide redox reaction than that of FTO/CdSe/polysulfide.

The electrochemical performance and microstructure of Al-Si, Al-Si/C was investigated as anode for lithium ion battery. The Al-Si nano composite with 5 : 1 at% ratio was prepared by arc-discharge nano powder process. However, some of problem is occurred, when Al nano composite was synthesized by this manufacturing. The oxidation film is generated around Al-Si particles for passivating processing in the manufacture. The oxidation film interrupts electrical chemistry reaction during lithium ion insertion/extraction for charge and discharge. Because of the existence the oxidation film, Al-Si first cycle capacity is very lower than other examples. Therefore, carbon synthsized by glucose ($C_6H_{12}O_6$) was conducted to remove the oxidation film covered on the composite. The results showed that the first discharge cycle capacity of Al-Si/C is improved to 113mAh/g comparing with Al-Si (18.6mAh/g). Furthermore, XRD data and TEM images indicate that $Al_4C_3$ crystalline exist in Al-Si/C composite. In addition the Si-Al anode material, in which silicon is more contained was tested by same method as above, it was investigated to check the anode capacity and morphology properties in accordance with changing content of silicon, Si-Al anode has much higher initial discharge capacity(about 500mAh/g) than anode materials based on Aluminum as well as the morphology properties is also very different with the anode based Aluminum.

In this paper, hybrid air-water discharges were used to develop an optimal condition for providing a high level of water decomposition for hydrogen yield. Electrical and optical phenomena accompanying the discharges were investigated along with feeding gases, flow rates, and point-to-plane electrode gap distance. The primary focus of this experiment was put on the optical emission of the near UV range, with the energy threshold sufficient for water dissociation and excitation. The $OH(A^{2+},'=0\;X^2,"=0$) band's optical emission intensity indicated the presence of plasma chemical reactions involving hydrogen formation. In the gaseous atmosphere saturated with water vapor the OH(A-X) band intensity was relatively high compared to the liquid and transient phases although the optical emission strongly depended on the flow rate and type of feeding gas. In the gaseous phase discharge phenomenon for Ar carrier gas transformed into a gliding arc via the flow rate growth. OH(A-X) band's intensity increased according to the flow rate or residence time of He feeding gas. Reciprocal tendency was acquired for $N_2$ and Ar carrier gases. The peak value of OH(A-X) intensity was observed in the proximity of the water surface, however in the cases of Ar and $N_2$ with 0.5 SLM flow rate peaks shifted to the region below the water surface. Rotational temperature ($T_{rot}$) was estimated to be in the range of 900-3600 K, according to the carrier gas and flow rate, which corresponds to the arc-like-streamer discharge.

아산화질소($N_2O$) 열분해를 위해 아크 플라즈마를 이용한 점화 실험을 수행하였다. 기존의 점화기들은 신뢰성 및 즉각적인 응답을 얻기 어렵다는 단점을 해결하기 위한 방안으로 플라즈마를 활용하는 방안을 제시하고자 하며, 점화기로써의 가능성을 보기 위해 가스 온도 측정 및 연소 실험을 수행하였다. 1 g/s, 0.7 A 조건에서 가장 안정적인 방전 특성을 보였으며 이때 측정된 벽면 부근의 온도는 약 $960^{\circ}C$이었다. 이를 바탕으로 하이브리드 로켓 연소 실험을 수행하였다. 플라즈마 방전 이후 약 3.1 sec만에 총 유량 10 g/s의 메인 연소가 성공적으로 이루어졌으며 점화에 필요한 플라즈마 발생을 위한 에너지 소모량은 1,780 J이었다.

스파크제트 액츄에이터는 플라즈마 합성 제트 액츄에이터(plasma synthetic jet actuator, PSJA)라고도 불리는 능동 유동 제어 장치로, 초음속 유동의 제어 가능성이 있어 많은 연구가 진행 중이다. 이 액츄에이터는 아크 플라즈마를 이용해 캐비티(cavity) 내부에 에너지를 주입하여 온도와 압력을 상승시킨다. 온도와 압력이 상승한 캐비티에서 오리피스(orifice)를 통해 압력파와 제트가 분출되어 외부 유동에 교란을 준다. 플라즈마의 영향으로 캐비티 유동은 고온, 고압의 평형 유동이 되기 때문에 스파크제트 액츄에이터의 유동 해석을 위해선 공기의 평형 상태를 고려해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 평형 유동의 특성을 고려하여 스파크제트 액츄에이터 유동 해석을 위한 수치해석 프로그램을 개발했다. 개발된 프로그램의 검증으로 문헌에서 얻을 수 있는 실험 결과와 시간에 따른 제트의 위치를 비교했다. 또한 상온, 상압의 무풍에서 액츄에이터의 추력 특성을 분석했다.

Recently the growth of the renewable energy production has caused the flexible operation in LNG combined cycle power plant. Due to the rapid start and stop operations, large CrMoV castings used for turbine casings and valve bodies could be distorted and lead to replacement or welding repair. This study was performed to find out the characteristics of the repair welding for a damaged CrMoV casting steel. A typical field repair method (arc & TIG welding) was applied to making specimens. The degraded N2 packing head sample from the steam turbine was used. The evaluations of weldments were carried out in terms of microstructural characterization, microhardness measurements, tensile, creep-rupture and fatigue tests. Color etching was also applied for better understanding of welding microstructures. As the boundary between HAZ and base material was deteriorated by welding, it caused microstructural changes formed during PWHT and the shortening of the remaining residual life. By comparing the properties according to repair welding method, it was possible to derive what important welding factors were. As a result, arc welding method is more suitable for repair welding on CrMoV castings.

The meat consumption produces a lot of bone waste everyday. Dumping bone waste without treatment results into environmental hazards. Conventional treatment by pyrolysis is slow, inefficient and produces hazardous by-products. In the work, an investigation of bone waste incinerated using thermal plasma technology is presented. A high temperature arc plasma torch operated at 33 kW was employed for the experiments. Bone waste was incinerated to remove the infectious organic matter and to vitrify the inorganic matter using plasma torch. Bone waste was reduced its 2/3 weight after the treatment. The process was highly efficient, economical, convenient, and fuel free. This method could be used as an alternative method for disposal of bone waste, small infectious animals, hazardous hospital waste, etc.

The paper presents a long-pulse modulator for klystron using a high-voltage solid-state switch and a droop compensator. The modulator guarantees the safe of klystron by limiting the amount of energy transferred to klystron in case of arc. The high performance of the modulator is also achieved by the fast transition time, high flatness and average power. The proposed prototype has produced pulses with a flat-top voltage -90[kV], pulse width 1ms and pulse frequency 200[Hz]. The validity of the long-pulse modulator for klystron has been verified by the simulation and experimental works.

This paper deals with design of a small-scaled permanent magnet generator (PMG) for wind power applications. First, this paper determines rated power and rated speed of the PMG from measured characteristics of wind turbines. Second, we derive analytical solutions for the open-circuit field in order to determine optimum magnet thickness and pole pitch/arc ratio. Third, on the basis of open circuit field solutions, stator magnetic circuit is designed. And then, a diameter of stator coil which agree with a required current density is calculated, and its turns are determined from the area of slot. Finally, finite element (FE) method is employed for validity of the designed PMG and, the back-emf measurements are also given to confirm the design.
