It is necessary to perform the research works on the general structural designs and optimum structural designs of double hull tankers and bulk carriers due to the newly built Common Structural Rules(CSR). In this study, an optimum structural design of a mid-ship part of double hull oil tanker was carried out by using the CSR. An optimum structural design program was developed by using the Pareto optimal based multi-objective function method. The hull weight and fabrication cost obtained by the single and multi-objective function methods were compared with existing ship by the consideration of CSR and material cost which is recently increasing.

An optimum design condition for a basic refrigeration cycle is defined as the condition which minimizes the total cost of heat exchanges (condenser and evaporator) and compressor for the refrigeration effect. Thermodynamic properties of ammonia (R717) are approximated by rational functions in order to obtain the optimum condition for a basic refrigeration cycle. Optimum condition depends on the heat capacity rates (mass flow rate times specific heat) of cooling water and brine used in condenser and evaporator. The difference between the cooling water temperature and condensation temperature at the optimum condition increases as the heat capacity rates and the coat of heat exchangers relative to the cost of compressor increase. Numerical examples of optimum conditions are obtained when the condensation temperature is $30^{\circ}C$ and the evaporator temperature is $-10^{\circ}C$.

Aim of this study was to obtain the heating performance and the economic evaluation on solar heating system for greenhouse which area of floor was $90m^2$. For heating performance effective solar energy for the greenhouse was compared with overall heating loads including coefficient of heat transfer and conduction. And the economic evaluation solar heating system was evaluated by comparison its initial investiment costing with oil saving cost. Initial investiment costing included collector cost, storage cost, piping cost, control system cost and miscellaneous costs which included pumps, motors etc. The contents of this study included the survey of climate conditions for solar heating, long-term collector performance and optimum collector area of solar heating system in existing greenhouse. The results are follows: 1. Average horizontal radiation during winter was $2,434Kcal/m^2$ day which was the highest value in this country, so the climate conditions of Suwon was suitable for solar heating. 2. Resulting calculation of the optimum collector area was $30m^2$ and the solar energy accounted for 30% of the overall heating load. 3. The capacity of storage tank required 60 liter per unit area ($m^2$) of solar collector.

For the asset management of a water pipe network, it would be necessary to understand the extent of the maintenance cost required for the water pipe network for the future. This study would develop a method to draw the optimum cost required for the maintenance of the water pipe network in waterworks facilities to maintain the aim revenue water ratio and to achieve the target revenue water ratio, considering the water service providers' waterworks condition and revenue water ratio comprehensively. This study conducted a survey with 96 water service providers as of the early 2015 and developed models to estimate the optimum maintenance cost of the water pipe network, considering the characteristics of the water service providers. Since the correlation coefficient of all the developed models was higher than 0.95, it turned out that it had significant reliability, which was statistically significant. As a result of applying the developed models to the actual water service providers, it was drawn that increasing revenue water ratio to more than a certain level can reduce the maintenance cost of the water pipe network by a great deal. In other words, it is judged that it would be the most efficient to secure the reliability of waterworks management by increasing the short-term revenue water ratio to more than a certain level and gradually increase the revenue water ratio from the long-term perspective. It is expected that the proposed methodology proposed in this study and the results of the study will be used as a basic research for planning the maintenance of water pipe network or establishing a plan for waterworks facilities asset management.

본 논문에서는 신뢰도(reliability)에 제한조건을 두어, 부유식 해양구조물의 주요 부재인 보강된 실린서의 최적설계를 다루었다. 기대되는 총비용을 목적함수로 하여 최소화하였다. 그 총비용은 구조적 비용과 파괴로 인해 예상되는 비용(expected failure cost)으로 구성된다. 여러 설계규정에서 요구하는 설계 요구사항을 역시 제한조건으로서 고려하였다. 본 논문에서는 안전성 측면에서 중요한 구조부재만의 신뢰도를 고려하였고, 시스템의 파괴확율은 일반적으로 부재의 파괴확율보다 상당히 작고 또한 시스템 파괴에 의한 비용을 추정하는 것은 매우 어려우므로 시스템의 파괴는 고려하지 않았다. 또한 파괴모드로써 최종파괴만을 다루었고 피로파괴는 고려하지 않았다. 몇가지 최적설계의 예를 본 논문의 결과로서 보여 주었으며 또한 동일한 구조부재의 설계공식에 따른 최적설계를 비교하기 위해 보강된 실린더의 설계시 현재 사용하는 다른 형태의 설계공식을 갖고 최적설계 결과를 유도하였다. 본 논문에서는 그 결과들로부터 신뢰성해석에 기초한 최적화 과정을 통해 다른 구조물의 설계시 보다 많은 비용의 절감을 꾀할 수 있는 가능성으로부터 그 중요성이 강조되었다.

본 논문에서는 강상자형교 생애주기비용(Life-Cycle Cost: 이하 LCC) 최적설계에 미치는 간접비용의 영향에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 강상자형교 LCC 최적설계를 위한 정식화는 초기비용, 기대복구(expected rehabilitation) 비용과 인적 혹은 물적 손실비용 등과 같은 기대비용 및 도로이용자비용, 그리고 사회-경제 손실비용을 등과 같은 간접비용(혹은 간접복구비용)을 고려하였다. 이와같은 정식화 모델을 이용하여 본 논문에서는 실제 2경간 연속 강상자형교(2@50m=100m)의 LCC 최적설계 문제에 적용하였고, 기존의 설계방법들과 LCC의 비용-효율성에 대해 비교 고찰하였다. 또한 본 논문에서는 LCC에서 큰 비중을 차지하는 간접비용이 강상자형교 LCC 최적설계에 미치는 영향을 고찰해 보기 위해 교량이 속해 있는 도로의 네트워크(우회도로수) 및 우회도로 조건(우회도로 차로수 및 길이), 교통량 등과 같은 교통조건의 변화에 따른 다양한 민감도 분석을 수행하였다. 수치해석의 결과 교통량, 우회도로수, 우회도로 차로수 등은 강상자형교의 LCC 최적설계에 민감한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 향후 신설 강상자형교의 LCC최적설계시 간접비용에 중요한 영향을 미치는 교통조건이 중요한 인자로 고려되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

Experimental work of batch-type dryer was conducted to develop its optimurm operating conditions by analyzing the major factors which affect the drying performance. A laboratory batch-type dryer was constructed and tested for various levels of heated-air rates, and depths of grain deposit. Tong-il rice variety having the initial moisture content of approximaely 23 per cent in wet basis was used for the experiment. The criteria selected for establishing the optimum operating condition were the drying performance rate, the thermal efficiency, and the operational cost of the dryer. The results of the study are summarized as follows: 1. The performance rate of dryer for a specific operating condition was defined as total amount of material dried per hour when the moisture content of grains in the upperlayer reaches to 16 per cent in wet basis. The optimum operating conditions as viewed in the rate of drying performance could be justified by functional realtionship between the depth of grain deposit and air flow rate. In other words, there was a definite depth of grain deposit for a given air-rate which make the dryer performance maximum. The optimum grain depth for the batch-type dryer with 3.3㎡ loading area and with the attached axial fan was about 35cm. 2. The thermal efficiency for the dryer was evaluated by the ratio of the latent heat required to evaporate the grain moisture to the heat input required to raise the ambient air-temperature to 40 degree centigrade. The optimum operating condition as viewed in term of thermal efficiency analyzed was that grater depth and lower air flow-rate may be desirable. This condition is contracted with the optimum condition as viewed by the dryer performance rate. 3. The annual operating cost of batch-type dryer was analyzed for different annual hour of use and for different operation condition. The optimum condition as viewed in terms of operating cost was almost identical to one as viewed in terms of dryer performance rate. Therefore, the most economical use of batch-type dryer for the same annual operating hours can be obtained when the dryer operated in the condition of maximum dryer performance rate. Increasing the annual operating hour may be desirable to cut down the dryer operation cost, since the annual hour of dryer use is much sensitive to the operating cost than any peractical conditions of dryer operation. 4. The most desirable operational condition as justified by combining all the criteria, dryer performance rate, thermal efficiency and annual operating cost, could be concluded to operate the dryer in the condition of maximum performance rate. The condition in general is identical to the lowest operation cost for a given annual operating hour.

This paper compares four network con-figurations for using as the logical topology in multi- hop wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) networks. The regular network configurations studied in this paper axe ShuffleNet, de Bruijn graph, hypercube, and Man-hattan street network. Instead of using the weight mean hop distance of node placement problem for comparing optimum logical topology, we introduce a new objective function that includes h and the network cost. It can be seen that the network cost strongly depends on the logical topology selected for the implementation of the network. The objective of this paper is to find an optimum logical topology for WDM networks that gives low as well as low network cost.

Multi-item inventory problems can be well characterized by the nature of interaction of the quantities and timing. This interaction may be due to the effect of certain combination of orders. It is that the set-up cost of ordering individual items can be saved by jointly ordering at a time. This study finds a decision criteria of optimum inventory policy through the comparisons of individual multi-item order policy(IMP), joint multi-item order policy(JMP), augmented multi-item order policy(AMP) in cost ratio. Subsequently we assume that there exists a unique optimum order level corresponding to an optimum reorder range for the augmented multi-item order, at which a cost saying is maximum.
