The purpose of this study is to develop the technique of energy recovery and energy saving by using the optimization of heat exchanger network synthesis. This article proposes a new method of determining the optimal target of a heat exchanger network synthesis problem of which data feature multiple pinch points. The system separation method we suggest here is to subdivide the original system into independent subsystems with one pinch point. The optimal cost target was evaluated and the original pinch rules at each subsystem were employed. The software developed in this study was applied to the Alko prosess, which is an alcohol production process, for the synthesis of heat exchanger network. It was possible to save about 15% of the total annual cost.

Weight minimization of double-deck train carbody is imperative to reduce cost and extend life-time of train. It is required to decide 36 thickness of aluminum extruded panels. However, the design variables are two many to tract. moreover, one execution of structural analysis of double-deck carbody is time-consuming. Therefore, we adopt approximation technique to save computational cost of optimization process. Response surface model is used to apporximate static response of double-deck carbody. To obtain plausible response surface model, orthogonal array is empolyed as design of experiment(DOE). Design improvement by approximate model-based optimization is described. Accuracy and efficiency of optimization by using response surface model are discussed.

The chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) has been widely accepted for the global planarization of multi-layer structures in semiconductor manufacturing However, cost of ownership (COO) and cost of consumables (COC) were relatively increased because of expensive slurry. In this paper, the effects of different slurry composition on the oxide CMP characteristics were investigated to obtain the higher removal rate and lower non-uniformity. We prepared the various kinds of slurry. In order to save the costs of slurry, the original slurry was diluted by de-ionized water (DIW). And then, alunima abrasives were added in the diluted slurry in order to promote the mechanical force of diluted slurry.

Cotton differs from polyester in physical and chemical properties. When cotton/polyester blends are dyed, water-soluble dyes are generally used for cotton and disperse dye for polyester. Thus, two bath or one bath-two step dyeing process are usually accepted. These processes consume more energy and cost compared to a single step process. To save energy and cost, a single step dyeing and finishing is carried out with disperse dyes in the presence of a crossslinking agent. K/S values of the dyed fabrics were determined to examine the dyeing property of cotton, cotton/polyester, polyester fabrics dyed with disperse dyes in the presence of DMDHEU/PEG. The concentration of DMDHEU, molecular weight and concentration of PEG, curing time and curing temperature were varied.

In Korean agriculture, an automatic environment control system for greenhouse is essential to save labor and to increase the quality of products. The existing environment monitoring systems have weighed on greenhouse growers and researchers because of their high cost and difficult applications. Many sensors are widely used for monitoring the greenhouse environment, but most of commercial sensors are expensive and not suitable for use in greenhouses. Thus , the development of an environment monitoring system for exclusive use in greenhouses is essential . The objective of this study was to develop modular environment monitoring systems, which are low-cost , reliable and easy -to -use. The results showed that the sensors for indoor and outdoor environments and nutrient solution had the ranges and accuracies appropriate for use in greenhouses. Also the modular environment systems developed showed a satisfactory performance in terms of stability and reliability in the measurement and acquisition of the greenhouse environment data.

Chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) technology has been widely used for global planarization of multi-level interconnection for ULSI applications. However, the cost of ownership and cost of consumables are relatively high because of expensive slurry. In this paper, we studied the mixed abrasive slurry (MAS). In order to save the costs of slurry, the original silica slurry was diluted by do-ionized water (DIW). And then, $ZrO_2,CeO_2$, and $MnO_2$ abrasives were added in the diluted slurry in order to promote the mechanical force of diluted slurry. We have also investigate the possibility of mixed abrasive slurry for the oxide CMP application.

In this light of economical engineering, the optimal configurations of ship structure that can save weights, production costs and operation costs should be investigated. This paper presents the general method of optimization based on non-linear programming and its application to weight and/or cost minimization of ship structure. Oil tanker is chosen as a ship type because of simple layout and easy calculation of stress. With the data of 16,200 DWT oil tanker built by KSEC 1980, this paper shows the procedure mentioned above by means of SUMT combined with two selected search methods. Then the differences between original and redesigned tanker structures are discussed.

LCA is nowadays getting popular as a tool to assess the environmental impacts. We can assess the environmental impacts of products and also compare the environmental performance between products with LCA. Furthermore, the LCA results can be used for designing eco-friendly products. But LCA needs an enormous amount of data collection, calculations of energy and material balance. which required to spend pretty much time and cost. However, If we use Input-Output Analysis, There is a lot of advantages that we can save time and cost to calculate and also analyze energy-material balance more comprehensively. Therefore, we implemented the fundamental research of the environmental impact assessment on railway system using life cycle inventory analysis and Input-Output Analysis method.

The ASME B3l.4〔1〕and B3l.8 〔2〕codes use the thin wall formula to predict hoop stress in a pipe. To account for the external pressure, the above codes simply subtract the external pressure from the internal pressure. The thin wall formula using this differential pressure does not give the same hoop stress as the thick wall formula. This paper proposes an improved equation to predict pipe hoop stress subjected to both internal and external pressure. Compared to the conventional thin wall formula, the improved formula has additional terms, which improve the agreement with the thick wall formula and account for external pressure. The improved formula is less conservative than the conventional thin wall formula, but slightly more conservative than the thick wall formula. The formula is simpler and easier to use than the thick wall formula and will save pipe material cost as well as installation cost compared to using the conventional thin wall formula. The savings will increase as the water depth increases.

Chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) technology has been widely used for global planarization of multi-level interconnection for ULSI applications. However, the cost of ownership and cost of consumables arc relatively high because of expensive slurry. In this paper, in order to save the costs of slurry, the original silica slurry was diluted by de-ionized water (DIW). And then, $ZrO_2$, abrasives were added in the diluted silica slurry (DSS) in order to promote the mechanical force of diluted slurry. We have also investigate the possibility of mixed abrasive slurry (MAS) for the oxide CMP application.
