Nowadays, CO2 lasers are used widely in many applications such as materials fabrication. communications, remote sensing and military purpose etc. It is important to control the laser output power in those fields. In this paper, current resonant half-bridge inverter and Cockcraft-Walton circuit are used to vary the laser output power. This laser power supply is designed and fabricated which has less switching losses and compact size. Also we used an IGBT(insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) as a switching device of a power supply and PIC one-chip microprocessor are used to control the gate signal of the IGBT precisely. We investigated the output characteristics of this CO2 laser. As a result. the maximum laser output power of 26 [W] is obtained at the resonant frequency of about 13 [kHz].

Indoor air quality has become increasingly important with the increase in time spent in residential environments, impact of external fine dust, yellow dust, and the post-COVID 19 pandemic. Residential mechanical ventilation plays a key role in addressing indoor air quality. The legal standard for residential air changes per hour in Korea is 0.5 ACH. However, there are no standards for the location of supply and return vents. This study atempts to analyze the impact of ventilation performance based on the location of supply and return vents. An experiment was conducted using the CO₂ tracer gas concentration decay method in a mock-up house set inside a large chamber to minimize external influences. The experimental results indicated that the commonly used combination of 2 supply and 2 return vents in living room spaces had a lower mean age of air than the combination of 1 supply and 2 return vents. Using multiple supply and return vents had lower mean age of air than using just 1 supply and 1 return vent.

In this paper, we design a green supply chain (gSC) network model. For constructing the gSC network model, environmental and economic factors are taken into consideration in it. Environmental factor is to minimize the $CO_2$ emission amount emitted when transporting products or materials between each stage. For economic factor, the total cost which is composed of total transportation cost, total handling cost and total fixed cost is minimized. To minimize the environmental and economic factors simultaneously, a mathematical formulation is proposed and it is implemented in a genetic algorithm (GA) approach. In numerical experiment, some scales of the gSC network model is presented and its performance is analyzed using the GA approach. Finally, the efficiencies of the gSC network model and the GA approach are proved.

In this Paper, optimal capacity of energy storage and amount of $CO_2$ reduction in Jeju is calculated. Based on electricity demand data of Je-Ju from 2006 to 2007, the estimation electricity demand from 2009 to 2018 is performed. To calculate the amount of maximum $CO_2$ reduction and energy storage capacity in Jeju, the 4th power supply planning and IPCC guideline are used. Finally, Optimal capacity of energy storage and the amount of $CO_2$ reduction are showed.

A highly $CO_2$ tolerant microalga, Chlorella KR-1, has been isolated and used to fix $CO_2$ from actual flue gas. Growth of Chlorella KR-1 with the supply of flue gas from a liquified natural gas boiler was comparable to that obtained with 10% $CO_2$. Chlorella KR-1 produced from $CO_2$ fixation using the flue has about 50% crude protein with balanced amino acid profiles. Toxicity was not detected when the microalga was used as a feedstuff for chicks. These results indicate that the KR-1 cells could be a favorable protein source for poultry.

In this paper, we simulate the contribution of an increasing renewable energy to demands for fossil fuels and power supply price by estimating a cost function for the Korean electric power generation sector. Since the renewable energy is a composite input, it is not feasible to compute the price index for renewable energy due to data limit. We estimate a restricted cost function, which is derived by minimizing the costs of fossil fuels conditional on the quantity of renewable energy set to its optimal level, jointly with supply relation. In particular, derivation of the shadow price of renewable energy would make it possible to analyze potential costs incurred by power plants.

This study was performed to reveal the relationships between various gas supply conditions including inlet numbers and positions for Photobioreactor. To do that, this study was installed the experimental apparatus. All experiments were performed for the cases with 1, 2, 3, and 4 inlets and for gas flow rate of 4~8 lpm. Through the experiments, this study showed that the case with 3 or 4 inlets could reduce about 50% of the pressure loss head for all gas path than that of one inlet base case. So, these results can be used as basic data to design the gross or multiple photobioreactor.

The purpose of this study is to investigate planning of urban energy supply systems configuration and operating conditions for the district heating and cooling system using combined heat and power system. Generally the district heating and cooling system has been known to one of the effective way for energy saving, cost reduction and demand side management of energy. Economical analyses were carried out and operating characteristics for some systems were examined in terms of GER factor which represents to the ratio of gas and electricity costs. Rates of the energy consumption and the $CO_2$ emission were compared from the system configuration of the energy supply system with new district cooling system with the conventional one.

To improve the performance of diesel automobile engine, we designed new fuel supply system named ultrasonic fuel supply system. The performance test of diesel automobile engine carried out to examine possibility of practical use of ultrasonic fuel supply system to test engine. This paper deals with the comparative results of performance test of diesel automobile engine in terms of smoke, HC, SFC, PS, thermal, efficiency, torque. Following are obtained result. 1) In naturally aspirated diesel engine, when we use ultrasonic fuel supply system output, fuel consumptions are improved and exhaust gas reduced significantly. 2) In turbo-charging diesel engine both using of ultrasonic fuel supply system and using of conventional injector, engine performance and exhaust gas temperature are almost constant. 3) In turbo-charging diesel engine, when we use ultrasonic fuel supply system, NOx are emitted approximately 3.5% higher than total average. 4) In turbo-charging diesel engine, when we use ultrasonic fuel supply system, smoke and CO are 17% and 11.8% improved respectively.
