We fabricated electroluminescent(EL) devices which have a blended single emitting layer containing poly(N-vinylcarbazole)[PVK] and poly(3-dodecylthiophene)[P3DoDT]. The molar ratio between P3DoDT and PVK changed with 1:0, 2:1 and 1:1. To improve the external quantum efficiency of EL devices, we applied insulating layer, LiF layer, between polymer emitting layer and Al electrode. All of the devices emit orange-red light and its can be explained that the energy transfer occurs from PVK to P3DoDT. In the voltage-current and voltage-light power characteristics of devices applied LiF layer, current and light power drastically increased with increasing applied voltage. In the consequence of the result, the external quantum efficiency of the devices that have a molar ratio 1:1 with LiF layer was 35 times larger than that of the device without LiF layer at 6V.

The random access systems, with retransmission diversity (RD) employment, over large random spreading code division multiple access (CDMA) channel subject to fading is investigated, under the assumption of infinite number of users and infinite spreading gain with their ratio converging to a constant. The low bound of the signal to interference and noise ratio (SINR) is shown to converge almost surely to a constant. The throughput, spectrum efficiency and energy efficiency in the dominating systems are obtained. The analytical results are confirmed by simulations. We find that in high traffic loads the throughput with fading is higher than that without. When the energy efficiency increases, the spectrum efficiency tends to two contrary values due to SNR increases or decreases. For the ordinary stable systems, the stability region is shown to shrink as the traffic increases and enlarge with RD employment.

A numerical study on the cylindrical packed bed sensible heat storage unit was accomplished by finite difference method. Relation between the heat storage rate and the mechanical pumping energy and the characteristics of the heat storage were investigated for various in let velocities and porosities. In this study, the numerical results are as follows: 1) The temperature distributions of solid and fluid rapidly reached the steady state as the heat capacity ratio was increased. 2) The efficiency of the heat storage was increased as the heat capacity ratio was decreased. For constant heat capacity ratio, however, the efficiency of the heat storage was increased at lower porosity. 3) It is very profitable to design the heat storage system such that the porosity is larger for the large flow rate and samller for small flow rate.

An experimental study has been conducted for the design of the regenerative oxy-fuel combustion system with ceramic ball. Various design parameters are considered such as ball size, regenerator weight, and combustion load. Regenerative system with a pair of oxygen burners and regenerators is set up and the temperature of oxygen and exhaust gas passing through ball regenerator is measured. It is shown that the temperature distributions with time are affected by ball diameter and regenerator weight, and the significant temperature change is observed by combustion load. As the ball size decreases and the regenerator weight increases, the regenerating temperature efficiency increases. It is found that the heat recovery ratio is low despites of high regeneration temperature efficiency.

In this study, the combustion characteristics were investigated based on the biodrying solid recovered fuel (SRF) in a 5 Ton/day scale combustion boiler. The composition of the combustion gas containing the biodrying SRF was analyzed, the particulate matter, and its HCl content was determined with the air pollutant process test method. Mass balance, carbon balance, and combustion efficiency were calculated according to the equivalence ratio (ER) method; the energy recovery efficiency of the combustion boiler was also analyzed. The overall combustion efficiency of the biodrying SRF was 97.3 % and the energy recovery efficiency was 80.2%.

Resistance of the front electrode is the highest proportion of the ingredients of the series resistance in crystalline silicon solar cell. While resistance of the front electrode is decreased with larger area, it induces the optical loss, causing the conversion efficiency drop. Therefore the front electrode with high aspect ratio increasing its height and decreasing is necessary for high-efficiency solar cell in considering shadowing loss and resistance of front electrode. In this paper, we used the screen printing method to form high aspect ratio electrode by multiple printing. Screen printing is the straightforward technology to establish the electrodes in silicon solar cell fabrication. The several printed front electrodes with Ag paste on silicon wafer showed the significantly increased height and slightly widen finger. As a result, the resistance of the front electrode was decreased with multiple printing even if it slightly increased the shadowing loss. We showed the improved electrical characteristics for c-Si solar cell with repeatedly printed front electrode by 0.5%. It lays a foundation for high efficiency solar cell with high aspect ratio electrode using screen printing.

In this study a two-stage fast pulse generaor using magnetic switches is proposed. The scheme consist of a switch, an inductor and two pairs of capacitor and saturable inductors, a linear transformer. The basic principle and the operation are described using a set of given parameters. The main issue of the magnetic pulse genration scheme is the system efficiency. This study focuses on the system efficiency improvement using magnetic switches. The voltage compression ratio, energy transfer with respect to core area are investigated. The output voltage and transferred energy as a function of input voltage are also included. Also, an analysis and experiments are performed to verify the porposed topology by implementing a 10[J] class experimental circuit. The efficiency of the transferred energy a tload side is 82%.

This paper investigates the thermodynamic performance of latent heat thermal energy storage system using two phase change materials(2-PCM system). The thermodynamic merit of using 2-PCM is clear in terms of exergetic efficiency, which is substantially higher than that of 1-PCM system. Optimum phase change temperature to maximize the exergetic efficiency exists for each case. The heat transfer area ratio of high temperature storage unit, X, becomes another important parameter for 2-PCM system if the phase change temperatures of given materials are different from those of optimum conditions. It is a good approximation for X$_{opt}$ to be 0.5 when optimum phase change temperatures are used. Otherwise X$_{opt}$ is determined differently as a function of given phase change temperatures.res.

Most European economies, Japan, and many governments have made it a major policy to expand the green business by disseminating heat pump technology, which has a large $CO_2$ reduction effect. The heat pump of all heat sources has been recognized as renewable energy and the policy to encourage has been implemented. In the recently revised Renewable Energy Law, the hydrothermal source (surface sea water) heat pump was newly included in renewable energy. In addition, the scope of application of heat pumps has expanded in the mandatory installation of renewable energy for new buildings, remodeling buildings, and reconstructed buildings based on this law. However application to heat pumps using all natural energy as heat source has been put off. In this revision, the ratio of renewable energy to the total energy produced by the heat pump was fixed at 73%, which depends on coefficient of performance of heat pump. The ratio of renewable energy is $1-1.8/COP_H$, and should be calculated including the coefficient of performance of the heat pump. Using a high efficiency heat pump or a high-temperature heat source increases the coefficient of performance and also reduces $CO_2$ emissions. It is necessary to expand the application of heat pumps as renewable energy equipment and to improve the correct calculation of renewable energy production.
