The entropy generation rate in a fin-tube heat exchanger is investigated as a basis for thermodynamic optimization associated with single fin-tube heat exchanger. The entropy generation (irreversibility)analysis is used to find the optimum design factor and investigate total entropy generation, optimum dimensions of fin length, tube inner and outer diameters, and fin spacing on the variation of design factors. The results of this study are as follows: As the outer diameter increases, optimum !in spacing and fin length increase but the entropy generation and optimum inner diameter decrease; As fin thickness increases, the entropy generation of system and optimum fin spacing increase; As fin length increases, entropy generation and optimum outer diameter increase.

Tobacco plants(Nicotiana tabacum cv. NC82) transformed with TMV CP cDNA were self-fertilized until 8th generation (R$_{8}$), and the transgenic plants from 6th to 8th generation were analized for their resistance to tobacco mosaic virus(TMV) and stability of the gene expression. The 6th generation of the plants(R$_{6}$) showed high resistance(81-91 %) to TMV at eight weeks after artificial inoculation with the virus. The transgenic cell line 601 was the most prominant in the expression of resistance. 98 % of the plants showed no symptom without any agronomic phynotepe variation when they were inoculated with the virus in a experimental field. However, 2% of the plants were revealed as delay type of symptom with mild mosaic on a few leaves. The viral resistance in greenhouse tests of the 7th generation (R$_{7}$) was 54-64%, and the number of delay type plants were increased than that of 6th generation plants. In the 8th generation, 81 % of the plants was complete resistant to the virus. The TMV CP cDNA of the transgenic plants of each generation was also confirmed by genomic PCR, and there was no systemic viral multiplication in the resistant plants. It suggests that the viral resistance and gene expression of the transgenic plants might be stable through the generations.ons.s.

The purpose of this research was to find empirical evidence to support the varidity of developing a three generation family apartment as a cultural housing model In Korea. This was done through interviews, a questionnaire mailing survey and the delphi method.Major findings were as follows;There was a string preference for the elderly to live together with their married children, whereas their married children preferred to live independently, being separated from their old parents.Housewives of the younger generation recognized many advantages or good points of the three generation living together. They, however pointed out many disadvantages as well. Most of the good points were related to psychological comfortableness steming from living close each other, while most of the bad points to behavioral constraints steming from living together in one residential unit. This suggested that a new type of heusing, which provides privacy for each generation as well as the feeling of closeness between the two generations, needs to be developed to disseminate positive aspects of the three generation family cuture.There is a concensus among professionals that the three generation family apartment is a promising cultural housing model in korea, especially for the elderly in Korea.

This study aims to investigate advantages of complex installation of green roof and PV system in a public building, to analyze the impact of green roof on the efficiency of PV power generation, and to consider the correlation between green roof and PV power generation. When the temperature and power generation of the modules installed in the green roof and non-green roof of the public building were measured for 3 days, the average temperature of the green roof was 23.6 degrees, and it was 36.1 degrees in the non-green roof which increased by nearly 53%. Overall, the module temperature in the green roof was lower. On the other hand, in relation to the PV generation depending on temperature reduction during the same period, the mono-crystalline module and the poly-crystalline module in the green roof showed an increase in generation at nearly 222.2W and 341.6W, and the efficiency rose by 5.5% and 6.2%, respectively, compared to the modules in the non-green roof. Therefore, it is analyzed that green roof has a positive influence on PV power generation. Finally shows the efficiency of the installed on the Green Roof PV system (complex Installation) higher than on the concrete roof PV system. Thus, the complex PV systems as well as the usual benefits of green roofs will provide greater synergies.

In this paper, a communication module is proposed to be applied to communication between over current relay (OCR) agents in multi agent protection system. A multi agent system can achieve a global goal beyond the ability of each individual agent by working together, in which it is the prerequisite for each agent to be able to exchange or share information or processing status with other agent. The proposed communication module is purposed to enable not only each agent to bring about its own goal, but also the whole protective system to provide much improved coordinated protection. It is applied to a self adaptive protection system for a distribution network using multi agent concept to show its effectiveness.

As the distributed generation becomes more reliable and economically feasible, it is expected that a higher application of the distributed generation units would be interconnected to the existing grids. This new market penetration using the distributed generation technology is linked to a large number of factors like economics and performance, safety and reliability, market regulations, environmental issues, or grid connection standards. KEPCO, a government company in Korea, has performed the project to identify and evaluate the performance of Micro Gas Turbine(MGT) technologies focused on 30, 60kW-class grid-connected optimization and combined Heat & Power performance. This paper describes the results for the mechanical, electrical, and environmental tests of MGT on actual grid-connection under Korean regulations. As one of the achievements, the simulation model of Exhaust-gas Absorption Chiller was developed, so that it will be able to analyze or propose new distributed generation system using MGT. In addition, KEPCO carried out the field testing of the MGT Cogeneration system at the R&D Center Building, KEPCO. The field test was conducted in order to respond to a wide variety of needs for heat recovery and utilization. The suggested method and experience for the evaluation of the distributed generation will be used for the introduction of other distributed generation technologies into the grid in the future.

In the global ship structure and vibration analysis, the FE(finite element) analysis model is required in the early design stage before the 3D CAD model is defined. And the analysis model generation process is a time-consuming job and takes much more time than the engineering work itself. In particular, ship structure has too many associated structural members such as stringers, stiffness and girders etc. These structural members should be satisfied as the constraints in analysis modeling. Therefore it is necessary to support generation of analysis model with satisfying these constraints as an automatic manner. For the effective support of the global ship analysis modeling, a method to generate analysis model using initial design information within ship design process, that hull form offset data and compartment data, is developed. In order to easily handle initial design information and FE model information, flexible data structure is proposed. An automatic quadrilateral mesh generation algorithm using initial design information to satisfy the constraints imposed on the ship structure is also proposed. The proposed data structure and mesh generation algorithm are applied for the various type of vessels for the usability test. Through this test, we have verified the stability and usefulness of this system including mesh generation algorithm.
