Nowadays, the economic grows fast and changes a lot. Meanwhile, the central city gets bigger and bigger. More and more buildings locate everywhere while people enjoy their modern life. The needs of electricity grow by the way. In order to provide more power, the Power Company has tried very hard to find new resources. However, there is another problem when transferring the power through crowded city. To avoid the geographic limitation, most of the overhead lines have been changed into under ground lines instead. Sooner or later, the under ground cable will become the main power transmission. This thesis focuses on the current rating distribution of Taiwan 161KV line with various PE underground cables that contain one circuit, two circuits, four circuits, and eight circuits. The current rating goes within various pipes. To find the best economic benefit with the lowest investment by rearranging the pipes to reach the most current rating and by matching the current rating from under ground cable with the over head cable is the main goal of this thesis. JCS NO.168 analyzes the set up map for all the pipes. In order to offer the best power supply, to maintain the longest cable life within the acceptable working days, the calculating scripts support to figure out the current rating in shortest time.

Microwave processing has been studied as an alternate heating technique over conventional heating for industrial applications. Some advantages include quicker and more uniform heating. Also, microwave energy offers the advantage of localized heating and smaller-sized equipment. Many ceramics, however, are difficult to heat using microwave energy by reason of the strong temperature dependence of the dielectric loss. The ability of a ceramic to absorb microwave energy, a measure of its dielectric loss, increases with temperature which makes the material more susceptible to thermal runaway. The purpose of this research is to develop a model that accurately reproduces experimental data and can be used to explore new applicator designs for continuous processing of such ceramics. A two-dimensional numerical model, created for this purpose, assumes that the ceramic is a circular cylinder that moves either longitudinally through a microwave cavity of given dimensions. By adjusting the electromagnetic field so that the absorbed power matches the measured power, the model successfully imitates experimental results and avoids thermal runaway while achieving high temperatures. / Master of Science

The benefits of applying microwave energy to material processing techniques have been well documented and studied. The potential benefits over conventional oven heating include faster processing times, more uniform heating, more consistent product quality, and the possibility of precise control. The actual implementation of microwave technology has been lacking and the benefits have gone largely unrealized. This is due in part to the temperature dependence of the dielectric loss of many industrial materials such as ceramics and polymers. These materials absorb more microwave energy as they heat, creating uncontrollable heating, often called 'thermal runaway'. The focus of this research is to address this challenge. The work described here is an experimental program for the microwave processing of specific ceramic rods and polymer tows. The objective of the program is to study the thermal runaway effect, and to provide data which will be used to verify numerical models. Accurate test data are essential to the development of precise, comprehensive models that can be used in applicator design and heating control strategies for thermal runaway materials. The experimental program explores the difficulties of microwave heating and offers solutions to more efficient systems. Successful measurements of power loss and control of thermal runaway are detailed for mullite, alumina, and nylon. / Master of Science

Neste trabalho pós de CaCu3Ti4O12 foram preparados por reação em estado sólido e por técnicas de solução: complexação de cátions e coprecipitação dos oxalatos. Foram realizados estudos de formação de fase, densificação e propriedades dielétricas das cerâmicas sinterizadas. Para efeito comparativo, ta is propriedades foram determinadas em amostras puras e contendo dissilicato de lítio (LSO) e fluoreto de lítio (LiF) como aditivos de sinterização. O principal objetivo foi verificar o efeito do uso dos diferentes aditivos de sinterização na microestrutura, densificação e propriedades dielétricas do CCTO. Os principais resultados revelaram que pós preparados por técnicas de solução apresentam fase única após calcinação em condições selecionadas. Foi verificado que os aditivos influenciam na densificação, possibilitando obter cerâmicas com 95% da densidade teórica do CCTO a 1025°C. As amostras preparadas por diferentes técnicas apresentam propriedades similares, com exceção das características microestruturais. A permissividade elétrica determinada à temperatura ambiente é da ordem de 104 independentemente do método de síntese. As menores perdas dielétricas foram obtidas para amostras contendo LiF como aditivo de sinterização. / In this work the effects of the method of synthesis and sintering additives on the microstructure and dielectric properties of CCTO were investigated. Powder mixtures were prepared by the cation complexation and coprecipitation methods, and by mixing of the starting oxides, for comparison purposes. Lithium dissilicate (LSO) and lithium fluoride (LiF) were used as sintering aids. The main results revealed that powders prepared by solution techniques have single phase after calcination at selected conditions. The additives were found to influence the densification allowing for obtaining high relative density (≥ 95%) at 1025ºC. Specimens prepared by different methods show similar properties except on microstructure features. The electric permittivity is of the order of 104 for all investigated specimens independent on the method of synthesis. The dielectric loss is found to be lower for specimens prepared with LiF as sintering aid.
