Due to the depletion of fossil oil and the increasing oil price, bio-plastic is currently topical. Bio-based plastics are synthesized from plant resources, unlike conventional petroleum-based counterparts. Therefore, the former minimizes global warming and reduces carbon dioxide emission. Fossil polycarbonate (PC)has good mechanical and optical properties, but its synthesis requires bisphenol-A and phosgene gas, which are toxic to humans. To address these problems, the fused deposition 3D printing process (hereafter, FDM) is studied using environmentally-friendly and high-strength bio-based PC. A comparisonof the environmental impact and tensile strength of fossil PC versus bio-based PC is presented herein, demonstrating that bio-based PC is more environmentally-friendly with higher tensile strength than fossil PC. The advantages of bio-based PC are applied in the FDM process for the fabrication of environmentally-friendly baby toys.

최근 국제 원유가의 폭등으로 선박의 연료비 부담이 상대적으로 가중되고 있으며, 또한 연료의 연소과정에서 발생하는 온실가스에 대한 국제적 규제 움직임도 가속되고 있다. 이에 따라 에너지 효율 개선을 위해서 선체의 설계변경, 마찰저항을 줄이기 위한 도료개발, 엔진의 열효율을 개선하기 위한 첨가제 개발, 연료를 절감하기 위하여 저속운전 등 다양한 방법들이 적용되고 있다. 따라서 최근 고유가 시대에 선박의 고속화와 대형화 및 에너지 절감형 선형의 개발이 필수요건이 되고 있다. 또한 선체 표면의 국부 영역에서 저항 값들의 정성 및 정량적인 변화와 보다 세밀한 분석은 불가피하다고 판단되어진다. 따라서 본 연구는 에너지 효율 개선을 위한 기초연구로서 현재 운항중인 선박의 선체에서 자생하는 해양생물로 인한 마찰저항을 확인하기 위하여 도크 전 후의 엔진성능을 분석하고 그 결과를 도크와 도크사이 2.5년의 데이터와 비교함으로서 주기관의 성능, 마찰저항과 부하변화 및 연료소비량과 선속에 미치는 연구 결과 등을 보고한다.

It is strongly requested to reduce fuel consumption because of high oil price and exhaust gases of road vehicles for environmental preservation. To solve these problems, several types of hybrid vehicles have been developed. Among them, flywheel hybrid vehicle using variable displacement pump/motor was already proposed as one of the feasible hybrid systems in place of hybrid vehicle by the conventional storage battery. The proposed flywheel hybrid vehicle is to keep constant pressure of high pressure line by the control of swash plate angle of flywheel pump/motor as pressure compensator. The efficiency of the overall system depends severely on the efficiency of hydraulic pump/motor in the energy saving hydraulic control system by simulation. According to the control methods of swash plate angle of piston pump/motor, there remain several problems to be solved. In this paper, experimental setup for energy saving is fabricated and the efficiency of energy saving is investigated by experiments with respect to various experimental conditions.

Entering in the time of high oil price, seriousness of an energy effect sector has given a huge impact and the importance of energy is growing. Especially, building energy occupying 24% of total demand of energy is expected to be possible to reduce energy demand more than other section. To reduce the building energy consumption, this study analyzes function and thermal performance of Super window by heat experimental apparatus. Super window is a 2-track low-e glazing window for high insulation efficiency. By applying the results of this experiment to building energy efficience rating tool, this study compares energy efficiency rates depending on a region.-Jeju, South, Central. And it shows how much does Super window reduce Building energy consumption.

최근 유가의 고공행진 때문에 한국은 해외 에너지 자원개발뿐만 아니라 에너지 소비를 줄이기 위한 국가적 정책으로 기존 설비의 에너지 효율을 증가시키는 방안을 모색하는 것이 필요한 시점이다. 따라서 본 연구는 이런 국가적 사안에 부합하고자 인천생산기지 고압 LNG 배관망에 대하여 수정유량방정식을 사용한 Newton Method로 접근하였고, 유창조절밸브(FCV)에 의해 지배적인 영향을 받는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 고압펌프는 유량조절밸브 50%의 개도율에서 최고효율을 보여 주었고, 고압배관망 내에서 배관저항곡선은 LNG 헤드가 1,500m 이상이 되어야만 토출이 가능한 것을 보였다. 고압펌프의 운전점으로부터 운전비용을 산출하였고, 최고 효율시 운전비용과 비교하여 운전비용을 절감할 수 있는 금액을 산출하였다. 특히 일간 시간대별 운전비용 절감액뿐만 아니라 연간 일별 운전비용 절감액을 산출하였으며, 그 결과 고압배관망은 연간 138백만원을 절감할 수 있다. 이것은 연간 고압펌프 1기당 9,823천원을 절감할 수 있다는 것을 의미한다. 결론적으로 본 연구는 복잡한 고압 LNG 배관망에서 고압펌프의 운전특성과 운전비용 절감효과를 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 이것은 미시적으로 생산기지의 효율적 미래운영에 대한 기여와 더불어 거시적으로 국가 에너지 경쟁력 제고에 기여할 수 있을 것이다.

The demand for energy in Thailand has been continually increasing as the economic and social country grows. Approximately 60% of Thailand's primary energy is imported, mostly petroleum products. In 2008 Thailand's total energy consumption was 80,971 ktoe and the net price of energy imported was up to 1,161 billion Baht which is equivalent to 12.8% of GDP at the current price. The energy consumption or energy demand has been growing at an annual compounded growth rate of 6.42% and the peak electric power demand and electricity consumption was recorded at 22,568 MW and 148,264 GWh and grew at a rate of 7.0% and 7.5% per annum during the period from 1989 to 2008. The gross agriculture production in 2008 was recorded at 135.4 Mt which represents agriculture residue for energy at 65.73 Mt, which is equivalent to energy potential of about 561.64 PJ or 13,292 ktoe an increase in average of 5.59% and 5.44% per year respectively. The agricultural residues can converted to 15,600 GWh/year or 1,780 MW of power capacity. So, if government sector plan to install small biomass gasification for electricity generation 200 kW for Community. The residue agricultural is available for 8,900 plants nationwide. The small biomass power generation for electricity generation not only to reduce the energy imports, it also makes the job and income for people in rural areas as well. This paper's aim is to report the energy situation in Thailand and has studied 5 main agricultural products with high residue energy potential namely sugarcane, paddy, oil palm, cassava, and maize appropriate for small electricity production. These agricultural products can be found planted in many rural areas throughout Thailand. Finally, discuss the situation, methods and policies which the government uses to promote small private power producers supplying electricity into the grid.

Recently, swine production costs have increased due to increased feed cost, especially the price of corn and soybean meals. Soybean meal is traditionally an expensive ingredient, but the price of corn has dramatically increased because of increased biofuel production. This change has resulted in the swine industry looking for alternatives in order to reduce feed cost, resulting in decreased production costs. Thus, various alternatives have been used as feed ingredients to replace corn, soybean meal, or other expensive ingredients. One othercandidate may be palm kernel co-products that are a by-product of oil extraction from palm fruits. Palm kernel co-products have not been used in swine diets due to high fiber content and imbalanced amino acids compared with corn and soybean meal. However, recent studies showed that palm kernel co-products did not have any negative effects on growth performance of pigs when they replaced some proportions of corn and soybean meal. In addition, palm kernel co-products may provide some physiological properties to pigs by modifying gut microbiota and/or immunity of pigs, resulting in improvement of growth and health of pigs. Therefore, the value of palm kernel co-products were reviewed as one of the alternatives for corn, soybean meal, or other major ingredients in swine diets.
