In order to produce alcohol for the alternative energy from dried powder of Jerusalem artichoke was investigated with Kluyveromyces marxianus UCD(FST)55-82, which was reported to assimilate inulin. The optimal condition for the production of ethanol by K. marxianus was elucidated to be incubation temperature of $30^{\circ}C$, initial pH 5.44, agitation of 100 rpm, 1,000 ml of medium in a 2.5l-vessel, anaerobic state, and inoculation of 2.5%(v/v). Addition of antifoam A concentrate(si1icon polymer) of 0.01% and urea of 0.1% increased the concentration of ethanol effectively. The optimized condition showed ethanol concentration of 6.8%(v/v) in Jerusalem artichoke liquid medium, production yield of 91.91% and productivity of 2.71 g/l/hr during the first day and 0.71g ethanol/l/hr during four days of incubation.

Currently, demand of liquefied natural gas as an alternatice energy inceases because of depletion of fossil fuels. it is accompanied by inceasing demand of LNG ship. Consequentially, it is expected that demand of bellows for LNG ship increase. The material used for LNG vessels's bellows is an alloy of INCOLOY 825 and STS316L, which are strong against low-temperature brittleness and seawater corrosion. This study establishes the welding condition of LNG vessel's bellows material in extremely low temperature, and analyzes the formability of weld through Erichsen Test. When welding was conducted at optimal condition, tensile strength of weld presneted strength value up to 90% compared with base metal. As results of formalbility through Erichsen test, very good weld that failure occrued in base metal was gotten.
