Gap Sensor is widely used to measure vibration in power plant. In general the result of the vibration measurement may have special error due to two thermal characteristics of gap sensor such as sensitivity shift and zero shift. Thermal sensitivity is change of linearity and thermal zero shift is chang of offset. It is investigated two thermal characteristics for Rap son or in this paper.

Development of modern internal combustion engine requires more precise indicator. In the case of strain gage-strain tube type indicator, thermal expansion of the indicator's fixed part makes zero-shift in spite of water cooling. Therefore, the authors analyzed the cause of zero-shift phenomenon on strain gage-strain tube type indicator and proposed a new device to compensate the zero-shift of indicator by electrical method without detoriorating the dynamic charcteristic. As the results, we found that the zero-shift is varied linearlly according to temperature variation of the indicator's fixed part and appling a new device, we can improve the zero-shift of indicator about 0.63% (0.63 kg/$cm^2$) of full scale, though we got 10% of it without the device at the cylinder head operating temperature (c.a. $200^{\circ}C$).

This paper describes fabrication of relative type capacitive pressure sensor to be in great demand for many fields. The fabricated sensor consists of two parts` a sensing diaphragm and a pyrox glass cover. The sensor size is 4.5${\times}3.4mm$^{2})$ and 400$\mu$m thick. To improve the nonlinearity, this sensor is designed a rectangular silicon diaphragm with a center boss structure, and in order to improve the temperature characteristics of the sensor in a packaging process, the sensing element is mounted on the pyrex glass support. Some suggestions toward the design and fabrication of improved sensors have been presented. The zero pressure capacitance, Co of sensor is 26.57pF, and the change of capacitance, ${\Delta}$C is 1.55pF from 0Kgf/Cm$^{2}$ to 1Kgf/Cm$^{2}$ at room temperature. The nonlinearity of the sensor output with center boss diaphragm is 1.29%F.S., and thermal zero shift and thermal sensitivity shift is less than 1.43%F.S./$^{\circ}C$and 0.14% F.S./$^{\circ}C$, respectively.

Capacitive pressure sensor for low pressure measurements has been fabricated by using $n^{+}$ epitaxial layer electrochemical etching stop and glass-to-silicon electrostatic bonding technique. The sensor had hybrid configuration of a sensor chip, which consists of sensor capacitor and reference capacitor, and two output signal detection IC chips. A fabricated sensor, with a $1.0{\times}1.0 mm^{2}$ square size and a $10{\mu}m$ thick flat diaphragm, showed a 7.1 pF zero pressure capacitance, and 5.2 % F.S, sensitivity in 10 KPa pressure range. By using a capacitance to voltage converter, the thermal zero shift of 0.051 %F.S./$^{\circ}C$ and the thermal sensitivity shift of 0.12 %F.S./$^{\circ}C$ for temperature range of $5{\sim}45^{\circ}C$ were obtained.

South Korea aims to shift the 20 percent of electricity supplement from the fossil fuel including the nuclear to renewable energy systems by 2030. In order to realize this agenda in the buildings, the plus energy house is necessary to increase the renewable energy supplement beyond the zero energy house. This paper suggested KePSH (KIER Energy-Plus Solar House) and energy performance of house and renewable energy systems was investigated. The KePSH has the target of generating 40% surplus energy than the conventional house energy consumption. The plus energy house is the house that generates surplus energy from the renewable energy sources than that consumes. In order to minimize the cooling and heating load of the house, the shape design and passive parameters design were conducted. Based on the experimental data of the plug load in the typical house, the total energy consumption of the house was estimated. This paper also suggested renewable energy sources integrated HVAC system using air-source heat pump system. Two cases of renewable energy system integration methods were suggested, and energy performance of the cases was investigated using TRNSYS 17 program. The results showed that the BIPV (building integrated photovoltaic) system (i.e., CASE 1) and BIPV and BIST system (i.e., CASE 2) shows 42% and 29% of plus energy rate, respectivey. Also, CASE 1 can generate 59% more surplus energy compared with the CASE 2 under the same installation area.

One of the effective ways to reduce both $NO_x$ and PM at the same time in a diesel CI engine is to operate the engine in low temperature combustion (LTC) regimes. In general, two strategies are used to realize the LTC operation-dilution controlled LTC and late injection LTC - and in this study, the former approach was used. In the dilution controlled regime, LTC is achieved by supplying a large amount of EGR to the cylinder. The significant EGR gas increases the heat capacity of in-cylinder charge mixture while decreasing oxygen concentration of the charge, activating low temperature oxidation reaction and lowering PM and $NO_x$ emissions. However, use of high EGR levels also deteriorates combustion efficiency and engine power output. Therefore, it is widely considered to use increased intake pressure as a way to resolve this issue. In this study, the effects of intake pressure variations on performance and emission characteristics of a single cylinder diesel engine operated in LTC regimes were examined. LTC operation was achieved in less than 8% $O_2$ concentration and thus a simultaneous reduction of both PM and $NO_x$ emission was confirmed. As intake pressure increased, combustion efficiency was improved so that THC and CO emissions were decreased. A shift of the peak Soot location was also observed to lower $O_2$ concentration while $NO_x$ levels were kept nearly zero. In addition, an elevation of intake pressure enhanced engine power output as well as indicated thermal efficiency in LTC regimes. All these results suggested that LTC operation range can be extended and emissions can be further reduced by adjusting intake pressure.
