Although there are many kinds of advanced ballast water management systems, pioneering studies for ballast-water free ship and minimal ballast water ship concepts are in progress. In this study, the existing alternatives of ballast water are reviewed and a new design concept is studied on the basis of the existing bulk carrier hull form. To develop a new design alternative which has minimal ballast for ballast water discharge free operation, the new concept should have technical feasibilities that are related to the role of the ballast water, berth access, loading constraints, etc. For this purpose, a simplified systems engineering basis design approach is adopted using a business model as the system analysis and control tool. To check the performance feasibility of the new concept, ship resistance performance is reviewed based on a model scale ship resistance performance analysis.

This paper surveys the recent research activities regarding dynamical modeling of thermo-acoustic instabilities which are fundamental to actively control such phenomena in gas-turbine engines, rockets, and etc. For this, we introduce reduced-order modeling approaches, mainly conducted after 1990s. Particularly, we survey grey-box approaches, which determine the structure of the model based on physical rules and use system's input-output data for estimating parameters of the model. We also introduce black-box approaches using model structures without physics-based interpretation. Finally, we briefly discuss future directions and feasibilities of the research in this field.

Feasibilities of the application of a micro gas turbine cogeneration system to a large size hospital building are studied by estimating energy demands and supplies. The energy demand for electricity is estimated by surveying and sorting the consumption records for various equipment and devices. The cooling heating, and hot water demands are further refined with TRNSYS and ESP-r to generate load profiles for the subsequent operation simulations. The operation of the suggested cogeneration system in conjunction with the load data is simulated for a time span of a year to predict energy consumption and gain profile. The simulation revealed that the thermal efficiency of the gas turbine is about 30% and it supplies 60% of the electricity required by the building. The recovered heat can meet 56% of total heating load and 67% of cooling, and the combined efficiency reaches up to 70%.

QFT is a very practical design technique that emphasizes the use of feedback for achieving the desired system performances in despite of plant uncertainties and disturbances. The loop shaping procedure of QFT is employed to design the robust controller, until the desired bounds are satisfied. This paper presents an optimization algorithm for designing PID controller using the loop shaping of QFT. The proposed method identifies the parameter vector of PID controller from a linear system that develops from rearranging the two dimensional system matrices and output vectors obtained from the QFT bounds. The feasibilities of the suggested algorithm are illustrated with a turbine speed control problem.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the state-of-the-art daylighting design among LEED(Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) multi-family housing cases and to explore the feasibilities for their applications in domestic housing design. Occupants in multi-family houses are reported to consume more electricity power than those in single houses. That may imply the problems of daylighting design in domestic housing design for multi-family houses have better insulation system and less windows and outside walls than single houses. Therefore two systems, daylight delivery system and daylight control system, are scrutinized for daylighting design with LEED cases. The findings show when windows as a daylight delivery system are combined with overhangs, fins, louvers, fenestration materials, speciality fenestration, or interior controls as a daylight control system, the outcome goes with more energy savings and better facade design. Beside those, lightshelves as a daylight delivery system seem to have potentials in domestic multi-family houses with deep plans and less outside walls. Daylighting designs in domestic multi-family houses need to pursue available options more to achieve the integration of energy and aesthetics values.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibilities on national recycling goal upto 40% in 2002 or more in the future. Sampling survey, Including waste generation rates, seperated recyclables and collection forces, covered households of 16,199 units, work places of 90 units and road length of 159km in Seoul. Survey results were used to calculate amounts of solid waste and recyclables according to physical properties, policy oriented measures, generator sand collection forces. This study founded followings ; Seoul's solid waste totaled 11,098ton/day, about 45% of which were recyclables and supposed to maximun level for recycling. Therefore, national goal for recycling proved to be attainable At this time,71.4% of recyclables was seperated by generators, and to stimulate the seperation activities of recyclables, endeavor of establishments, which seperated 65.6% of their recyclables, will be needed more than one of residence, which did 87.4% of their recyclables. Private forces collected 86.6% of recyclables seperated by generators, and have collection potentials equivalent to all recyclables generated in Seoul. But some incetives should be introduced to encourage private forces' activities, because values of recyclables to be collected in the future are lower than that did now.

Microwave heating and drying processes have been well established in various industrial applications. Feasibilities of successful application of microwave drying to many material have been shown on the laboratory or pilot-plant scale. The microwave drying behavior of plating sludge are considered in this paper. The plating sludge containing 70%, 80% and 90% water exposed to microwave power at 2,450 MHz, 700W. An experimental microwave drying apparatus was designed and constructed to monitor weight loss during drying. By studying the drying characteristic curve, the moisture in sludge was almost classified into two categories : free moisture and intestinal moisture. And the critical moisture contents at which the drying rate ceases to be constant were from 10.1 to 10.5%. A simple drying model is proposed which may be used to describe drying behavior of plating sludge. The constant rate and the falling rate periods in microwave drying were addressed separately. From the eqation of constant rate period the drying rate constants decreased exponentially with increasing depth. Microwave heating compared with conventional heating offered higher heating rates from 9 to 16 times. Therefore, microwave drying process can be effective in removing moisture from plating sludge.

This study has a purpose of examining technical feasibility of supplying the in-stream flow for the Gyobang cheon by using treated water from small wastewater treatment facilities as a decentralized option. To do this, the water and contaminant flow in study areas of the Gyobang cheon are defined from the context of the integrated urban water cycle, and analyzed by using the Urban Volume and Quality (UVQ) model. First, the UVQ model was built for the study areas of the Gyobang cheon and calibrated with observation data. Second, the decentralized options of the in-stream flow was explored with consideration of availability of water sources. The UVQ simulation then led to selecting the best option which would meet the criteria of water quantity and quality. It was finally concluded that using water sources out of study areas 1 and 2, adjoining the upper part of the Gyobang cheon, in the decentralized manner can be a feasible option for in-stream flow. It also seems that the UVQ model is useful to understand the water cycle in study areas of the Gyobang cheon.

This paper proposes a frequency transfer function synthesis for approximating a high-order model with resonance to a low-order model in the frequency domain. The presented model approximation method is based on minimizing the error function weighted by the numerator polynomial of approximated models, which is used of the RLS(Recursive Least Square) technique to estimate the coefficient vector of approximated models. The proposed method provides better fitting in a low frequency and peak resonance. And an example is given to illustrate feasibilities of the suggested schemes.
