Power system for renewable energy is composed of module, transform DC power into AC power inverter, control power flow and device for a charge of the grid-connected. Power system for renewable energy produce the most DC power, when this system is much insolation in summer and daytime. But if the certain temperature rises above, the essential grid-connected power inverter is take a nose dive. There, in this paper, we propose an improved reduction of heating system. In addition, selection of the most serious heat region and through analysis of temperature characteristics according to location and distance derive the optimal model.

The purpose of this study is to gain a better understanding of the effects of thermal stratification and partial fuel stratification on reducing the pressure-rise rate and emission in HCCI combustion. The engine is fueled with Di-Methyl Ether(DME) which has unique 2-stage heat release. Computational work is conducted with multi-zones model and detailed chemical reaction scheme. Calculation result shows that wider thermal stratification and partial fuel stratification prolong combustion duration and reduce pressure rise rate. But too wide partial fuel stratification increases CO and NOx concentration in exhaust gas, and decreases combustion efficiency.

External shading devices are well known solar control devices that can help reduce the cooling load of commercial buildings. For this study, experiments were conducted to examine the feasibility of shading devices in reducing both the cooling and heating loads. The influence of sky radiant cooling during winter was verified for the external shading device, internal roller blind, and window. Results can be summarized as follows. The temperature difference between the inner and outer surfaces of the window with the external shading device was 11.8℃ compared to 14.6℃ for one without the external shading device. This 2.8℃ difference was due to heat exchange by sky radiation when the surface temperature of the shading device was lower than the ambient outdoor air temperature. The roller blind resulted in a lower temperature of 0.8℃ compared to the average temperature of the window's air cavity. This was due to heat exchange by sky radiation of the roller blind surfaces. Without shading devices, the outside surface temperature of the window is about 3℃ higher. The study also found that when external shading devices were installed on both the southwest and southeast sides, the outside surface temperature of the windows were lower on the southwest side than the southeast side.

The friction and deformation of a tire causes heat generation, which causes a temperature rise of the tire. This temperature rise can be a source of tire damage. The object of this study is to investigate the cooling effect of the application of a fin to the tire side to suppress the temperature rise. Eight different fin shapes were considered, and the sidewall surface temperature reduction owing to the cooling fin shape was numerically analyzed. In addition, the flow characteristics and heat transfer characteristics of the vortex of the pin rear were compared.

In this paper, to satisfy the temperature requirement of turbopump-inlet condition, the cooling of cryogenic propellant is performed at the simulated suction-line of the Launch Vehicle. The cooling method is by using gas helium injection. This paper investigates the effect of helium injection on liquid nitrogen, which simulates the liquid oxygen. By using helium injection, subcooling of liquid nitrogen can be achieved and in the condition of v/vL≒0.8min-¹ approximately in four minutes subcooling temperature can be achieved.

Spalling must be considered when designing high-strength concrete to cope with fire. This study investigates the temperature rise of steel bar in high-strength concrete coated with fireproof mortar using gypsum exposed to fire. It was found that fireproof mortar using gypsum is more effective in constraining the temperature rise of steel bar in the high strength concrete than fireproof mortar using cement, and that the thinner the cover depth of the fireproof mortar, the more significant the influence of the gypsum. In addition, while there was no difference between ${\alpha}$-hemihydrate mortar and ${\beta}$-hemihydrate mortar on the temperature rise of steel bar, the compressive strength of ${\alpha}$-hemihydrate mortar is higher than that of ${\beta}$-hemihydrate mortar.

Now post 2012 greenhouse gas reduction commitment being discussed, studies about long-term GHG reduction scenarios toward 2050 have actively been worked separately from 5 years short-term approach. In this paper, background, temperature target, $CO_2$ concentration target, national emission target, and approach of long-term reduction scenarios toward 2050 particularly in European countries such as UK, Germany, France, Netherlands et al. are reviewed. After comparing GDP and emission indices between Developed (European) countries and Korea, some implications of long-term GHG reduction scenarios are deduced. Acting early owing to uncertainty in climate change impact and technology development rather than delaying reduction activity owing to scientific uncertainty in climate change is needed. Providing our society's vision of climate change and government's explicit direction through long-term GHG reduction target setting toward 2050 and economic units' preparing for those are needed.

As global warming worsens, it is feared that higher ambient temperatures and relative humidity might result in a more intense heat stress for livestock animals, especially broilers, which lack sweat glands for thermoregulation and have been selectively bred for rapid growth. Therefore, strategic livestock management is needed to mitigate the adverse effects of heat stress on broilers. In Korea's poultry farming systems, tunnel-ventilated broiler houses and pad cooling systems are commonly installed to lower indoor temperatures during the summer. However, caution is advised with pad cooling systems as they can increase the humidity inside the houses, potentially causing further harm. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of pad cooling systems in tunnel-ventilated broiler house by assessing the reduction in indoor temperature using the Temperature-Humidity Index (THI), which accounts for the impact of relative humidity. Temperature and humidity data were collected during the summer (Jun to Sep) from eight farms with tunnel-ventilated broiler house located in different regions of Korea. The farms were divided into two groups based on the use of pad cooling systems is used, and temperature and humidity data, along with THI values, were analyzed two weeks before the birds were marketed. Meta-analysis results showed that at the hottest time of the day, 14:00, farms with pad cooling systems had significantly lower indoor temperatures compared to the control group, but observed an increase in indoor temperatures by 16:00 (p<0.05). There is no significant difference in relative humidity (p>0.05). The THI values decreased in the treatment group with cooling pads compared to the control group starting from 15:00, suggesting a diminished effect (p<0.05). This study indicates the potential for developing optimal operational guidelines for cooling pads to reduce heat stress in broilers during the summer season.

The efficiency of reducing nitric oxide using urea combined with alkali salt additives is reported in this study. The inlet concentration of NO is 500 ppm with air flow rates of 3 and 5 L/min. Reduction of NO was studied from 650 to $1,050^{\circ}C$ with urea concentrations of 0.3 to 1 mol/L. The efficiency for the reduction of NO increased by 44% when urea is added alone. A further increase in efficiency was observed in the presence of NaOH as additive in fact, the efficiency was increased by more than 25% and 75% when 0.5 mol/L and 1 mol/L NaOH were added with the urea. The efficiency for the reduction of NO increased with all additives, but descended in the order NaOH, $Na_2CO_3$, $NaNO_3$, HCOONa, and CHCOONa. The maximum efficiency of NaOH and $Na_2NO_3$ are 74% and 73%, respectively. All these additives did not alter the comparatively wide operating temperature window for reducing NO. However, sodium compounds do not shift the maximum NO concentration towards lower temperatures when the NO removal activity enhances.
