Recovered heat has been considered as a renewable energy in Europe since 2008 because its great effect on energy saving and carbon decreasing in plant process. Energy saving and decreasing green gas are critical issue today, so various technologies to save energy and decrease carbon dioxide in plant process have been applied to many industrial area. In this paper, the feasibility of condenser heat recovery by heat pump in power plant for district heating and fuel line preheating were reviewed by verifying energy (heat) balance and mass balance of power plant model. Some ways to compose proper system to recover heat of condenser are suggested and their possibilities are also reviewed. Limitations on heat recovery in power plant are also reviewed. The results are verified by calculating input/output energy based on actual performance test data of Taean Thermal Power Plant in Korea. There is noticeable improvement of plant performance in some cases which demand low temperature (<100 C) heat like distrcit heating, fuel line heating, and so forth.

A study was undertaken to determine the thermal inactivation of Escherichia coli O157:H7 as influenced by the effects of temperature, time, suspension medium and ascorbate. Tryptic soy broth was more heat resistant than pfosphate buffer (pH 7.1), with D values of 1.52~1.68 min at 6$0^{\circ}C$ and 1.51~1.63 min at 7$0^{\circ}C$ compared with 1.52~1.65 min at 6$0^{\circ}C$ and 1.26~1.61 min at 7$0^{\circ}C$ for phosphate buffer as suspension medium. E. coli O157:H7 was completely inhibited within 30 min when small inoculum (106 CFU/$m\ell$) was heated at 7$0^{\circ}C$. When E. coli O157:H7 was preheated at 48$^{\circ}C$ for 60 min in phosphate buffer before heating, D values were 1.28~1.60 min at 6$0^{\circ}C$, and 1.13~1.56 min at 7$0^{\circ}C$, showing that preheating increases the heat resistance of the strain. Phosphate buffer containing ascorbate (0.001 M) was enhanced the thermal inactivation of the strain when inoculated as large inoculum (109 CFU/$m\ell$), while ascorbic acid was no effect at low cell concentrations (109 CFU/$m\ell$).

This study was carried out the design and analysis of solar thermal system with preheating of returning district heating water for the Chung-ju district heating and cooling system. Two different types of solar collectors are used for this system. TRNSYS simulation program was used for the analysis. As a results, the solar system efficiency is $35.8\%$ for the plate type and $45.1\%$ for the evacuated type solar collector in the case of $50^{\circ}C$ for the returning district heating water temperature. The returning district heating water temperature is on of the very important factors that is influence on the system efficiency. So the effect of the returning district heating water temperature on the system efficiency is analyzed in this study.

Metal-mold reactions between investment mold and TiAl alloys were investigated for the economic net-shape forming of TiAl alloys. The effect of mold preheating temperatures on the metal-mold reaction were investigated using a vacuum induction-melting furnace. In the case of TiAl alloys, there were no ${\alpha}$-case formation reactions. There were neither interstitial nor substitutional ${\alpha}$-case formations as TiAl alloys have both negligible solubility of oxygen and low activity in molten states. The fluidity of TiAl alloys increases with mold preheating temperature since they have a peritectic reaction that appears in the form of envelope, surrounding each particles of the primary constituent. The results of the investment casting of TiAl alloys confirm that the casting route in our study can be an effective approach for the economic net-shape forming of TiAl alloys.

In order to prevent crack in thick weld zones, the preheating process such as induction and gas torch heating needs to be applied. Among them induction heating is the most effective heat source because it has rare thermal effect and very rapid heating characteristics. In this paper, when the induction heating method is used to improve arc welding, the temperature distribution and magnetic field density of the welding zones are analyzed by simultaneously solving heat transfer and electromagnetic field equation. In particular, cone and flat type coils are designed and induction heating effects of each type are compared to identify heating characteristics on a V-groove weld joint. As a result, a cone shape coil is more efficient in the preheating process. When induction heating and arc welding system is designed for thick plate with V-groove weld joint, the results in this paper could be applied.

Ultrafine silicon dioxide($SiO_2$) powder was prepared from tetraethylorthosilicate(TEOS) by the gas-phase reaction. The effects of reaction temperature, flow rate of gas, TEOS concentration, and preheating temperature of reactants on the particle size were investigated. As the reaction temperature increased, average particle size of the silicone dioxide powder became smaller. Smaller particles were also obtained with decreasing the residence time of reactants in the reaction zone. Larger particles having narrow size distribution were produced with the high concentrations of the reactants. The effect of the preheating temperature was not considerable on the average particle size. The range of average particle size was from 30 nm to 58 nm depending on experimental conditions.

To improve the conventional cathode-supported tubular solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) from the viewpoint of low cell power density, expensive fabrication process and high operation temperature, the anode-supported tubular solid oxide fuel cell was investigated. The anode tube of Ni-8mol% $Y_2$O$_3$-stabilized $ZrO_2$ (8YSZ) was manufactured by extrusion process, and, the electrolyte of 8YSZ and the multi-layered cathode of $LaSrMnO_3$(LSM)ILSM-YSZ composite/$LaSrCoFeO_3$ were coated on the surface of the anode tube by slurry dip coating process, subsequently. Their cell performances were examined under gases of humidified hydrogen with 3% water and air. In the thermal cycle condition of heating and cooling rates with $3.33^{\circ}C$/min, the anode-supported tubular cell showed an excellent resistance as compared with the electrolyte-supported planar cell. The optimum hydrogen flow rate was evaluated and the air preheating increased the cell performance due to the increased gas temperature inside the cell. In long-term stability test, the single cell indicated a stable performance of 300 mA/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at 0.85 V for 255 hr.

In this paper, the preparation of BSCCO superconducting wire by electrophoretic deposition method and the effect of suspension medium used with various solvent solutions of ethanol and buthanol for electrophoretic deposition were studied. The preheating technique in vacuum system for the superconducting powders coated on Ag wire was also investigated. As a result, it was confirmed that the preheating technique was very useful to remove the influence of remains affected to the surface conditions of superconducting wire. And the adsorbed solvent solution which was existed between and on the deposited particle surfaces was almost disappeared at the treating conditions of about $10^{-3}$ Torr and around $200^{\circ}C$ in bell-jar system. By measurement of 4-point prove method, the critical current density($J_c$) of BSCCO superconducting wire was obtained at the value of more than $10^4\;A/cm^2$ in liquid $N_2$(77 K, 0 T).

The integrally skinned asymmetric PAN ultrafiltration membranes were annealed for reducing the pore size. The effect of the chemical structure of two PAN polymers (homo- and copolymer) on annealing was investigated. The annealing of PAN polymer was strongly affected by the chemical structure of the polymer. In other words, the annealing effect of the copolymer was much larger than that of the homopolymer due to its less rigid structure of the main chain. Before annealing, the membranes were usually preheated in water in terms of the complete removal of remained solvents in the membranes. The annealing effect was bigger when no preheating. However, the preheating of the membrane before annealing at high temperatures leads to an increase in the pore size of membranes. The surface of the membranes was slightly negative and the salt rejection of PAN nanofiltration membrane was in the following order: R(Na₂SO₄) > R(NaCl) > R(MgSO₄) > R(CaCl₂). This salt rejection behavior could be explained by the Donnan equilibrium and the electroneutrality.
