The external electricla characteristics of helicon wave plasmas were measured over a wide range of RF power and magnetic filed. External parameters. such as antenna voltage , current, phase shift, and interanl parameter, electron density were measured at 7MHz, 1mTorr Ar discharge . The equivalent discharge resistance and reactance, and the power transfer efficiency were calculated through these measurements. There are a helicon mode which produces high density plasma by helicon wave and a lowmode which produces low density plasma by capaictive electric field. In case of the helicon mode, the anternna voltage and current were lower than those of the low-mode. The phase difference between voltage and current decreased suddenly at the transition point from the low-mode to the helicon mode. Equivalent resistance and power efficiency increased and reactance decreased suddenly at the transition point. These results mean that the power transperred to plasma and the nutual coupling between the antenna and plasma increase as the mode changes from the low-mode to the helicon mode.

In this paper, the improved zero-voltage transition(ZVT) PWM boost converter using an inductor feedback technique is proposed. The improved circuit uses a low-voltage zener diode to reduce the turn-off witching loss of the auxiliary witch and EMI noise. Using this technique, soft-witching for the auxiliary switch is guaranted at wide line and load ranges and some of the energy circulating in the auxiliary circuit is fed to the load Since the active switches are turned on and off softly, the witching losses and EMI noise are reduced significantly and the higher efficiency of the system is achieved. In this paper, the modes of converter operation are explained and analyzed, design guidelines are given, and experimental results of 1kW, 100kHz prototype system are presented.

A filtering power divider based on air-filled substrate-integrated waveguide (AFSIW) technology is proposed in this study. The AFSIW structure is used in the proposed filtering power divider for substantially reducing the transmission losses. This structure occupies a large area because of the use of air as a dielectric instead of typical dielectric materials. A filtering power divider provides power division and frequency selectivity simultaneously in a single device. The proposed filtering power divider comprises three AFSIW cavities. The filtering function is achieved using symmetrical inductive posts. The input and output ports of the proposed circuit are realized by directly connecting coaxial lines to the AFSIW cavities. This transition from the coaxial line to the AFSIW cavity eliminates the additional transitions, such as AFSIW-SIW and SIW-conductor-backed coplanar waveguide, applied in existing AFSIW circuits. The proposed power divider with a second-order bandpass filtering response is fabricated and measured at 5.5 GHz. The measurement results show that this circuit has a minimum insertion loss of 1 dB, 3-dB fractional bandwidth of 11.2%, and return loss exceeding 11 dB.

Despite of the laminar-turbulent transition region co-exist with fully turbulence region around the leading edge of an airfoil, still lots of researchers apply to fully turbulence models to predict aerodynamic characteristics. It is well known that fully turbulent model such as standard k-${\varepsilon}$ model couldn't predict the complex stall and the separation behavior on an airfoil accurately, it usually leads to over prediction of the aerodynamic characteristics such as lift and drag forces. So, we apply correlation based transition model to predict aerodynamic performance of the NREL (National Renewable Energy Laboratory) Phase IV wind turbine. And also, compare the computed results from transition model with experimental measurement and fully turbulence results. Results are presented for a range of wind speed, for a NREL Phase IV wind turbine rotor. Low speed shaft torque, power, root bending moment, aerodynamic coefficients of 2D airfoil and several flow field figures results included in this study. As a result, the low speed shaft torque predicted by transitional turbulence model is very good agree with the experimental measurement in whole operating conditions but fully turbulent model(k-${\varepsilon}$) over predict the shaft torque after 7m/s. Root bending moment is also good agreement between the prediction and experiments for most of the operating conditions, especially with the transition model.

This paper presents an accurate method for measuring the ground resistance in powered grounding system. Most of substations and electric power equipments are interconnected to an extensive grounding network of overhead ground wires, neutral conductors of transmission lines, cable shields, and etc. The parasitic effects due to circulating ground currents and ground potential rise make a significant error in measuring the ground resistance. The test current transition method was proposed to reduce the effects of stray ground currents, ground potential rise and harmonic components in measurements of the ground resistance for powered grounding systems. The instrumental error of the test current transition method is decreased as the ratio of the test current signal to noise(S/N) increases. It was found from the test results that the proposed measuring method of the ground resistance is more accurate than the conventional fall-of-potential method or low-pass filter method, and the measuring error was less than 3[%]when S/N is 10.

The decrease in the fracture toughness of ferritic steels in a reactor pressure vessel is an important factor in determining the lifetime of a nuclear power plant. A surveillance program has been in place in Korea since 1979 to assess the structural integrity of RPV steels. In this work, the surveillance data were collected and analyzed statistically in order to derive the empirical relationship between the embrittlement and strengthening of irradiated reactor pressure vessel steels. There was a linear relationship between the yield strength change and the transition temperature shift change at 41 J due to irradiation. The proportional coefficient was about $0.5^{\circ}C$/MPa in the base metals (plate/forgings). The upper shelf energy decrease ratio was non-linearly proportional to the yield strength change, and most of the data lay along the trend curve of the US results. The transition regime temperature interval, ${\Delta}T_T$, was less than the US data. The overall change from irradiation was very similar to the US results. It is expected that the results of this study will be applied to basic research on the multiscale modeling of the irradiation embrittlement of RPV materials in Korea.

최근에 유도 전동기의 고효율 구동을 위하여 ZVT(Zero Voltage Transition) 언버터에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있으며 또한 많은 토폴로지가 제안되었다. 하지만 기존의 ZVT 인버터는 보조공진 회로부분에 과도한 컴포년트의 추가사용으로 인하여 가격상승 및 제어회로가 복잡해지는 문제점이 있다. 이의 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 보조 공진 수위치 하나만을 사용하는 다이오드 브릿지-타입 ZVT 인버터를 제안하고, 이의 동작을 이론적으로 해석하였으며, ZVT용 보조공진회로의 설계 방법에 대하여 논하였다. 또한 제안된 ZVT 인버터가 최적의 조건으로 구동하기 위한 공진기간 가변제어에 대해 논의하고 이의 유용성을 시뮬레이션 및 실험을 통하여 입증하였다.

The abnormal behavior of the argon metastable density during the E-H mode transition in argon ICP discharge was investigated. Lots of investigations including global models expected that during and after the mode transition of ICP discharge, the density of metastable increases with applied rf power (i.e. electron density). However, recent direct measurement of metastable density revealed that the metastable density of argon decreases with the applied power during and after the mode transition. This result may not be explained by the previous global model which is based on the assumption of the Maxwellian electron energy distribution function (EEDF). In this paper, to explain this abnormal behavior with simple manners, a simple global model taking account of the effect of the non-Maxwellian EEDFs incorporating into a set of coupled rate equations is proposed. The result showed that the calculated metastable density taking account of non-Maxwellian EEDF and its evolution during the transition has an abnormal behavior with electron density and is in good agreement with the previous measurement results, indicating the close coupling of electron kinetics and the behavior of metastable density. The proposed simple model is expected to provide qualitative kinetic insight to understand the behavior of the metastable density in various plasma discharges which typically exhibit non-Maxwellian distribution.
