Hydrate phase equilibrium for the binary CO2+water and CH4+water mixtures in silica gel pore of nominal 6, 30, and 100 nm were measured and compared with the cacluated results based on van der Waals and Platteeuw model. At a specific temperature three-phase hydrate-water-vapor (HLV) equilibrium curves for pore hydrates were shifted to the higher-pressure condition depending on pore sizes when compared with those of bulk hydrates. Notably, hydrate phase equilibria for the case of 100 nominal urn pore size were nealy identical with those of bulk hydrates. The activities of water in porous silica gels were modified to account for capillary effect, and the calculation results were generally in good agreement with the experimental data.

As a final step for developing a small-scale solar thermal power generation technology, a demonstration project for a dish-stirling power system has been carried out by KIER. During the two years project period, 10kW solar-only power system was built in Jinhae city and successful solar operations were demonstrated. In this paper an example of typical clean day operation and analysis results was introduced.

In resent years, aided by the power and capability of digital computation, the techniques of Walsh Transform have been exploited for applications in commun- ication and signal processing. This paper presents an approach of FWT by using a 16- bit word-length micro- computer. This FWT implements an in-placed decimation-in-sequency algorithm which improves processing speed and memory storage. Several examples illustrate the process and demonstrate the power spectrum of FWT and that of FFT for the waveforms

The structural and electrical properties of microcrystalline silicon films were investigated by hot wire chemical vapor deposition(HWCVD) often called catalytic chemical vapor deposition(Cat-CVD). The Si microcrystalline phase is easily controlled by changing the rate of the silane concentration of $SiH_4$ to $H_2$ during deposition. The Structural property was observed by Raman and SEM. Photo-conductivity and dark conductivity, and photo-sensitivity were observed by Sunsimulator (AM 1.5 illumination). The film color was changed by the variation of silane concentration. HWCVD is useful for the formation of Si thin films for solar cell and needs further commercialized development for mass production.

It is important to produce the high temperature and high pressure air for the concentrated solar power system using the combined cycle. In this paper, based on the concept of tubular receiver, we designed two types with focus on radiation loss reduction. These two receivers were tested in the KIER solar furnace of 40kW thermal capacity. Performance of the two receivers were evaluated and compared.

Annual energy consumption in detached houses are affected mainly by thermal performance of envelope. In particular the performance of glasses are critical due to global wanning and climatic change. Therefore, this research analyzes annual consumption of cooling and heating energy with various combination of U-value, shading coefficient and building orientation. The simulation results shows that shading coefficient of glazing contributes to the changes of proportion of heating and cooling energy demand and the optimized shading coefficient for minimizing energy consumption varies with buildings orientation.

The effects of design parameters for small scale hydro power(SSHP) plants due to climate change have been studied. The model to predict hydrologic performance for SSHP plants is used in this study. The results from analysis far rainfall conditions based on KIER model show that the capacity and load factor of SSHP site had large difference between the period. Especially, the hydrologic performance of SSHP site due to rainfall condition of recent period varied in design flowrate sensitively. However climate change gave small effect in load factor of existing SSHP plant. And also, the methodology represented in this study can be used to decide the primary design specifications of SSHP sites.

Microencapsulated pcm (MPCM) particles are mixed with distilled water and utilized to evaluate its characteristics and performance as a thermal storage medium transporting heat. For the present study, tetradecane ($C_14$$H_30$, $T_m$=5.5$^{\circ}C$) is capsulated in the core, coated with the melamine for their surface. The size of particles is well-controlled under 10$\mu$m in the process of in-situ polymerization with melamine-formaldehyde resin. For the experiment, the concentractions of slurries are prepared for 20 wt%, 30 wt%, and 40 wt%. The results are compared with those of water and 100% tetradecane oil. The pure water and tetradecane start solidifying within 20 minutes after introducing cooling water into the thermal storage tank whose flow rates are varied by 125 cc/min, 250 cc/min, and 500 cc/min. However, MPCM slurries are required relatively longer period of time for their phase change than pure phase change materials. That is, the entrained MPCM particles restrict their heat transfer in terms of natural convection and conduction to them.

The long term drag reduction characteristics of Habon-G solution were investigated in the KIER pilot-scaled district heating simulation system. Test runs were implemented for 30 days without interruption. Pressure drop, flow rate and power consumption of surfactant (Habon-G) solution were regularly observed and compared with those of plain water. The experimental results suggest that the surfactant can be effectively applied to the DH transmission system for considerably long period wthout significant loss of its drag reduction capability even though the concentration of the additive may gradually decrease in the first stage of the experiment because of absorption.

Hydrogen gas sensors were fabricated using $PdO_x$ loaded with SWNTs. The nanoparticle powders of $SWNT_s-PdO_x$ composite were deposited on Si wafer substrates by a vacuum filtering deposition method. The fabricated sensors were tested against hydrogen gas. The composition ratio that exhibited the highest response to hydrogen gases was SWNTs : $PdO_x$ = 98 : 2 in wt% ratio at operating temperature of about $150^{\circ}C$. The response and recovery times were shorter than 1.0 min. in presence of 1000 ppm hydrogen.
