The number of vehicles employing diesel engines is rapidly rising. Accompanying this trend, application of an after-treatment system is strictly required as a result of reinforced exhaust regulations. The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) system is considered as the most efficient method to reduce particulate matter (PM), but the improvement of a regeneration performance at any engine operation point presents a considerable challenge by itself. Therefore, the present study evaluates the effect of fuel injection characteristics on regeneration performance in a DOC and a catalyzed CR-DPF system. The temperature distribution on the rear surface of the DOC and the exhaust gas emission were analyzed in accordance with fuel injection strategies and engine operating conditions. A temperature increase more than BPT of DPF system was obtained with a small amount fuel injection although the exhaust gas temperature was low and flow rate was high. This increase of temperature at the DPF inlet cause PM to oxidize completely by oxygen. In the case of multi-step injection, the abrupt temperature changes of DOC inlet didn't occur and THC slip also could not be observed. However, in the case of pulse type injection, the abrupt injection of much fuel results in the decrease of DOC inlet temperatures and the instantaneous slip of THC was observed.

Cars are one of the main causes of air pollution in large cities, and 34.6% of domestic air pollution emissions come from mobile sources, of which cars account for 69.6%. In particular, the importance of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM), which are major pollutants in diesel vehicles, is increasing due to their high contribution to emissions. Therefore, in this study, the problem of natural regeneration caused by low exhaust gas temperature during low speed and low load operation was solved by applying a complex regeneration DPF that is not affected by temperature conditions to large diesel vehicles with higher driving time and engine displacement than small and medium-sized vehicles. And the feasibility of application to large diesel vehicles was reviewed by measuring the emission reduction efficiency. As a result of the reduction efficiency test on the actual vehicle durability product, PM showed a reduction efficiency of 84% to 86%, and the reduction efficiency of gaseous substances showed a high reduction efficiency of over 90%. The actual vehicle applicability test was completed with three driving patterns: village bus vehicle, police car, and road-going construction equipment vehicle, and no device problems occurred until the end of the test. Both load and no-load smoke measurement results showed a smoke reduction efficiency of over 96%.

Urban regeneration is a worldwide challenging project, showing a great interest in the sector. In order for Korea's urban regeneration to be settled successfully in the early stage, it is necessary to analyze and review the opinions and business performance of the urban regeneration areas. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the urban regeneration planning factors affecting urban regeneration on the satisfaction of citizens, public administration and region. This study surveyed the residents and experts of the Yeongju city, Gyeongsangbuk-do, where urban regeneration is actively doing with active participation of residents and local government. Based on the data of the survey, this paper performed frequency analysis, correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis as a analytic methods. The results revealed that 'community factor' was the most important factor to the satisfaction of residents in the urban regeneration project in progress. In the final stage(at present), both 'community factor' (0.387) and 'physical factor'(0.454) were found to have a significant effect on satisfaction. While the satisfaction from 'the economic factor'(0.111) has slowed but it has increased with 'the physical factors' in the process of regeneration project, 'the social factors'(-0.007) shows a downward trend. If the role of social factors and community factors are supported at the beginning step of the urban regeneration project, the physical factors and economic factors are continued to lead a sustainable urban regeneration in the long term.

In order to eliminate TPM(Total Particulate Matter) from a diesel engine, we designed and developed a particulate trap system using a burner, which was named as AEFR(Active Exhaust Feeding Regeneration) system. We have considered the temperature distributions and gradients in the filter being regenerated according to regeneration control schemes Ⅰ, Ⅱ and Ⅲ. Schemes Ⅲ has shown the most desirable peak temperature and temperature gradients in AFER system. Finally, it was concluded that much lower peak temperature and temperature gradients in the filter could be obtained than that of other advanced research results by our AEFR system.

The key point that guarantees the durability of the ceramic monolith filter is to lower peak temperature and temperature gradient inside filter during regeneration. The control of the exhaust gas flow rate into the filter, by the bypass technique of the exhaust gas, enables the gas temperature in filter to be constant for regeneration. A couple of methods, which are the ON/OFF and PID control of the bypass valve, were used for feedback control of the gas temperature. These techniques showed that the ceramic filter was regenerated perfectly under the peak temperature and peak temperature gradient limitations for durability.

Because of a wide range of performance and diversity of project and uncertainty caused by complexity and a number of stakeholder, conflict occur necessarily in Urban generation including large-scale and many project which do the same time, for long time. So active conflict management which recognized risk before the fact and deal with conflict is necessarily needed. This paper based on the conflict cases related an urban regeneration. In those cases, we proposed the reason of the conflicts by analysis the most frequent combination of the conflicts and a case of conflict between each group.

Recently, when electric traction system used DC 1500[Vdc] runs on decline of rail road track and slows down, dc voltage goes beyond regular voltage. In this case extra power is forcibly wasted by resister because rectifier of substation and electric train including power converter and so on are out of order. Therefore this paper proposes that the extra power is regenerated through regeneration inverter to AC utility in result this system obstruct to go beyond regular voltage and improve the efficiency. In addition, electric traction system products harmonic current and voltage distortion and reactive power because power converter is used so regeneration inverter normally runs such as active power filter(APF) for improving power quality.

Natural manganese ore was selected as main active component for a non-zinc desulfurization sorbent used in the gas clean-up process of the integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) because of excellent H$_2$S removal efficiency and economical aspect . In this study, the regeneration characteristics of sorbent after desulfurization reaction were determined in a thermobalance reactor and a fixed bed reactor in the temperature range of 350~55$0^{\circ}C$. The mixed gases of oxygen and nitrogen are used as the regeneration reaction gases for manganese sorbent. According to Mn-S-O phase diagram, the manganese sorbent has a low regeneration efficiency in medium temperature due to formation of MnSO$_4$ and the regeneration temperature must be over 85$0^{\circ}C$. To improve that problem, ammonia and steam was added in regeneration mixed gases. Effect of new regeneration method was determined by XRD and difference of desulfurization through multicycle tests.

Work on the reduction of particulate matter(PM) from a diesel vehicl has led to a new trp system and a control method to control the combustion rate of the PM filtrated in the trap, which was named as 'Active Exhaust Feeding Regeneration(AEFR) System' by its operation mechanism. Ceramic cordierite filter is a major component of the trap and susceptible to thermal shock. Therefore the system should be designed to reduce the peak temperature and temperature gradients in the trap ; these have been considered to be the main factors causing thermal shock of the filter during the regeneration. It uses the engine's exhaust gas partially for the regeneration of the ceramic filter. It controlled bypass flow rate of the engine's exhaust gas precisely to control the temperature of the gas entrained into the filter. Gas temperatures were measured inside filter, and the oxygen concentration at the outlet of the filter was also monitored during the regeneration to analyze the combustion process of the PM. The temperature distributions and temperature gradients in the filter during the regeneration varied widely according to the regeneration control schemes. Finally, this system shows relatively low peak temperature and temperature gradients in the filter during its regeneration. It is considered that this system uses a mew method to control the combustion rate of the PM, which is different from the methods used in the previous studies.
