The synthetic breaking test method was developed to evaluate the breaking performance of ultra high-voltage circuit breaker and made up of two independent circuits; current source circuit and voltage source circuit. In application of this test method, it is necessary to extend the arc of the test breaker. So, the new re-ignition system using VTGS (Vacuum Triggered Gap-Switch) was constructed to improve the efficiency and reliability of this test. In this re-ignition system, VTGS operates in high vacuum state of $5{\time}10^{17}$torr and control system consists of the triggering device and the air M-G (Motor-Generator). This re-ignition system showed the operating characteristics, such as delay time ($t_d$) and jitter time ($t_j$ not exceeding 5us and 1us respectively, and had the operating voltage of $25\~150kVdc$ at the gap distance of 24mm.

In a low-voltage distribution system, the molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) is a widely used device to protect loads by interrupting over-current; however the hot gas generated from the arc discharge in the interrupting process depletes the dielectric recovery strength between electrodes and leads to re-ignition after current-zero. Even though the circuit breaker is ordinarily tripped and successfully interrupts the over-current, the re-ignition causes the over-current to flow to the load again, which carries over the failure interruption. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the dielectric recovery process and the dielectric recovery voltage of the MCCB. To determine these characteristics, a measuring system comprised of the experimental circuit and source is implemented to apply controllable recovery voltage and over-current. By changing the controllable recovery voltage, in this work, re-ignition is driven repeatedly to obtain the dielectric recovery voltage V-t curve, which is used to analyze the dielectric recovery strength of the MCCB. A measuring system and an evaluation technique for the dielectric recovery strength of the MCCB are described. By using this system and method, the measurement to find out the dielectric recovery characteristics after current-zero for ready-made products is done and it is confirmed that which internal structure of the MCCB affects the dielectric recovery characteristics.

본 연구에서는 미분무수 소화시스템의 변압기에 대한 냉각성능을 기술한다. 재발화를 방지하기 위한 냉각성능은 변압기의 철심으로부터 절연유에 전달되어 축적된 열에너지를 효과적으로 소산시키는 것을 의미한다. 철심이 매우 무겁기 때문에 축소 규모의 변압기를 이용하여 실험을 수행하였고, 이 결과로부터 냉각시간을 결정하기 위하여 상사해석을 수행하였다. 해석 및 실험을 통한 상사법칙으로부터 재발화 방지를 위한 미분무수 소화시스템의 소화시간은 약 12시간으로 나타났다.

차량의 폭발적 증가로 인해 저속, 서행형태로 주행시간이 점점 늘어나므로, 본 연구에서는 연비향상을 목적으로 정차상태에서는 일부 실린더만으로 일정한 엔진회전수를 유지하고, 주행상태에서는 전 실린더를 이용하는 가변실린더에 대해 실제 하드웨어로 제작하여 실험해 보았다. 과거에 일부 제작되었던 가변실린더 엔진은 정차상태나 저속상태에서 사용하는 실린더 주위에 열이 집중하여 열응력이 발생하고, 사용하지 않는 실린더는 냉각수의 순환으로 인해 주변의 온도가 더욱 떨어지게 되어, 재점화시에 많은 유해가스가 배출되고 연료 소모량도 많아지게 되며, 엔진회전수가 고르지 못하는 문제가 있었다. 이러한 문제점을 극복하고자 정지상태나 저속주행상태에서와 같이 많은 출력을 요하지 않는 운행조건에서는 새로운 점화방식과 밸브 개폐시기를 이용하여 연비를 향상시키는 방안을 제시하고, 그 타당성을 검증하였다.

The work presented herein is a numerical investigation of the flow field inside a resonant igniter, with the aim of predicting the performances in terms of cavity temperature and noise spectrum. A resonance ignition system represens an attractive solution for the ignition of liquid rocket engines in space missions which require multiple engine re-ignitions, like for example debris removal. Furthermore, the current trend in avoiding toxic propellants leads to the adoption of green propellant which does not show hypergolic properties and so the presence of a reliable ignition system becomes fundamental. Resonant igniters are attractive for in-space thrusters due to the low weight and the absence of an electric power source. However, their performances are strongly influenced by several geometrical and environmental parameters. This motivates the study proposed in this work in which the flow field inside a resonant igniter is numerically investigated. The unsteady compressible Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes equations are solved by means of a finite volume scheme and the effects of several wall boundary conditions are investigated (adiabatic, isothermal, radiating). The results are compared with some available experimental data in terms of cavity temperature and noise spectrum.

A numerical study is carried out on the detonation wave propagation through a T-shaped flame tube, which represents a crucial part of the combustion wave ignition (CWI) system aimed for simultaneous ignition of multiple combustion chambers by delivering detonation waves. The formulation includes the Euler equations and an induction-parameter model. The reaction rate is treated based on a chemical kinetics database obtained from a detailed chemistry mechanism. A second-order implicit time integration and a third-order TVD algorithm are Implemented to solve the theoretical model numerically. A total of more than two-million grid points are used to provide direct insight into the dynamics of the detonation wave. Several important phenomena including detonation wave propagation, degeneration, and re-initiation are carefully examined. Information obtained can be effectively used to facilitate the design and optimization of the flame tubes of CWI systems.

LTC(Low Temperature Combustion) technology has been studied to see feasibility of the combustion technology applied to heavy-duty engines on the laboratory scale. This study succeeded to develop a demo engine including realized low temperature combustion under partial load conditions. To find the best feasible LTC strategy, various LTC combustion methods such as PPCI, MK and highly diluted mixing controlled LTC were conducted on 6.0L heavy duty diesel engine. Air management system was re-designed to make these combustion scheme stable and the re-designed air system helped expand LTC operating range. This study finally revealed plausible LTC concept to maximize benefit of the alternative combustion technology while overcoming handicaps of the LTC strategy.

An improved mitigation system for thermally-induced steam generator tube rupture accidents was introduced to prevent direct environmental release of fission products bypassing the containment in the OPR1000. This involves injecting bypassed steam into the containment, cooling, and decontaminating it using a water coolant tank. To evaluate its performance, a severe accident analysis was performed using the MELCOR 2.2 code for OPR1000. Simulation results show that the proposed system sufficiently prevented the release of radioactive nuclides (RNs) into the environment via containment injection. The pool scrubbing system effectively decontaminated the injected RN and consequently reduced the aerosol mass in the containment atmosphere. However, the decay heat of the collected RNs causes re-vaporization. To restrict the re-vaporization, an external water source was considered, where the decontamination performance was significantly improved, and the RNs were effectively isolated. However, due to the continuous evaporation of the feed water caused by decay heat, a substantial amount of steam is released into the containment. Despite the slight pressurization inside the containment by the injected and evaporated steam, the steam decreased the hydrogen mole fraction, thereby reducing the possibility of ignition.

Molded Circucit Breaker(MCCB) is a most widely used device to protect loads from the over-current in low power level distribution system. When the MCCB interrupts the over-current, the arc discharge occurred between fixed contact and moving contact to create hot gas. By the Lorentz force due to arc current, the occurred arc is bent to the grids. The grids extend and cool and divide it for arc extinguish. In the majority cases, the MCCB protects loads by interrupting the over-current successfully but in some cases the re-ignition is occurred by hot-gas created during process of interruption. The re-ignition arises when the recovery voltage(RV) is more higher than the recovery strength between contacts and it leads to interruption fault. Therefore to find out the dielectric recovery characteristics of protecting device has a great importance for preventing interruption fault. In this paper, we studies measurement method of the dielectric recovery characteristics considering inherent attribute of the MCCB. To measure the dielectric recovery characteristic of MCCB, we makes an experiment circuit for applying the over-current and the randomly recovery voltage. The measurement methode to find out the dielectric recovery voltage of the MCCB was established and the result was based on experiment results.
