Recently regenerative burner system was developed and begins to be gradually used for better energy savings. Compared to conventional burner system the regenrative one has the several merits such as higher fuel efficiency light weigh of apparatus low harmful toxic gas and homogeneous heating zone etc. The regenerative material a very important component of the new regenerative burner system should possess the properties of low specific density higher surface area and high specific heat capacity. Ceramics is the best regenerative material because of stable mechanical properties even at high temperature and better thermal properties and excellent chemical stability. In this study alumina ball alumina tube 3-D ceramic foam and hoeycomb as regenerative materials were tested and evaluated. The computer silumation was conducted and compared to the result of field test. This paper is aimed to introduce a new application of ceramics at high temperature.

Recently, the space organization of Korean-Chinese houses is different from that of other territories. The vast land of China, coming from different hometown in Korean peninsula, and the different hometown in Korean peninsula, and the different procedure of settlement seem to make the different space organization of Chinese-Korean single family housing at the urban area in Liaoning Province.The characteristics of the Korean-Chinese space organization of single family housing at the urban area in Liaoning Province are as follows;i)Three types of space organization are central kitchen type, central corridors types, and central living room type. ii)The central kitchen type is mainly in old urban housing, after 1980's, the central corridor type appears in single family housing, and central living room type appears 1990's.iii) It seems that the main reason to change the space organization are fuel, system of heating, influence of Korea housing. Especially, Korean-Chinese like central living room type that is suitable for sit down living style. This central living room type supposes to be used as popular space organization in urban housing.

A catalytic burner has been developed to utilize thermal energy from the fossil fuel without nitrogen oxides (NOx) emission. The burner is shaped into a mat to maximize the heating surface. Premixed combustion has been developed to be used in a closed chamber, such as a radiation type industrial dryer. The burner yields the thermal energy in the form of thermal radiation in the infrared regime, which is proved to be effective to dry organic substances for low moisture condition. Thermal efficiency including the sensible heat is better correlated to the moisture compared to the dry rate.

Recently, it is certain that the increase of heating and cooling energy consumption by radical change in climate condition has caused serious problems related to environmental and energy concerns associated with increase of fossil fuel usage and carbon dioxide production as well as global warming. So, various actions to reduce greenhouse gas exhaustion and energy consumption have been prepared by world developed countries. The energy consumption by buildings approximately reaches 25% of total korea energy consumption. The greatest part in the buildings of the energy consumption is building facade. but a few research projects on concrete comprising more than 70% of outsider of buildings has been tried. This research structural insulation concrete what improved insulation performance using insulation performance improve material.

Compared to other waste, waste tire has much discharge quantity and calorie. When we use waste heat from waste tire, it can be definitely better substitute energy than coal and anthracite in high oil price age. To use as a basic data for providing low cost and highly effective heating system, following conclusion was founded. Annual waste tire production was 19,596 million in 1999, Recycling ratio was almost 55% and more than 8.78 million was stored. Waste tire has lower than 1.5% sulfur contain ratio which is resource of an pollution, So it is a waste fuel which can be combustion based on current exhaust standard value without any extra SOx exclusion materials. Waste tire has 9,256Kcal/kg calorific value and it is higher than waste rubber, waste rubber, waste energy as same as B-C oil. When primary and second air quantity was 1.6, 8.0 Nm$^3$/min, dry gas production time was 270min and total combustion time was 360 min. In the SOx, NOx, HC of air pollution material density were lower than exhaust standard value at the back of cyclone and dusty than exhaust standard value without dust collector.

The purpose of this study is to compare the time use of urban housewives 1980 and 1990, and to investigate significant variables affect to the time spent, the independent effect of variables to the time use of her them. For this purpose, the data from 261(1980) and 287(1990) were analyzed. The major findings are follows: 1. There was 3-4 hours decreasing for household work in 1980 & 1990, and the significant variables were age, number of children, years of youngest child, education, type of kitchen, and type of heating, but in 1990, number of children and education of housewife. 2. In 1990, the independent effect of variables to household work time are number of children, years of youngest child, and cooking fuel to household work time and income to physiological time.

Recently, all-electric house technology became one of the green growth technologies and is integrated with various areas such as electricity, machinery, architecture, material, and etc. Fossil fuel energy is used for heating and hot water supply in the conventional houses but electricity is adopted in the new conceptual houses to maximize advantages of electricity such as amenity, safety, cleanness, and so on. In this paper, an economic analysis is carried out when LED lightings are adopted using the California Standard Practice Test which has been used to estimate the effects of existing DSM (Demand Side Management) programs. The results are able to contribute to the diffusion of all-electric houses and the establishment of basic data and planning for DSM policies.

Characteristics of turbulent lifted flames in coflow jet have been investigated by varying initial temperature through the heating coflow air. In the turbulent regime, liftoff height increases linearly with fuel jet velocity and decreases nonlinearly as the coflow temperature increases. This can be attributed to the increase of turbulent propagation speed, which is strongly related to laminar burning velocity. Dimensionless liftoff heights are correlated well with dimensionless jet velocity, which are scaled with parameters determining local flow velocity and turbulent propagation speed. This implies that the turbulent lifted flames are stabilized by balance mechanism between local turbulent burning velocity and flow velocity. Blowout velocity can be obtained from the ratio of mixing time to chemical time. Comparing to previous researches, thermal diffusivity should be evaluated from the initial temperature instead of adiabatic flame temperature.

Biomass is considered to be a major potential fuel and renewable resource for the future. In fact, there is high potential to produce significant amount of energy from biomass around the world. In spite of the potential, there are a few efforts in biomass utilization in this nation. In this study, elemental biomass data was obtained with respect to the amount and calorific values of agricultural residues. Rice straw and husks were not included in the evaluation due to their demand from alternative uses such as livestock feedings, bedding materials, and so forth. Dry basis high calorific values are about 4,500 kcal/kg for all the agricultural residues investigated, similar to literature data. Energy densities or unit area energy value, from pepper and sesame were significant and comparable to those of woody biomass. These elemental data for biomass resources will Provide the background of Planning and development of biomass energy Program, which is getting more feasible along with advances in energy conversion technologies such as micro gas turbines.

HCCI engines take advantage of high compression ratio and heat release rate, they exhibit high efficiency in compression ignition engines. HCCI engines also utilize a lean air/fuel ratio resulting in low emissions of NOx and particulate matter(PM). The objective of this research is to determine the effects of EGR rate on the combustion processes of HCCI. For this purpose, a 4-cylinder, compression ignition engine was converted into a HCCI engine, and a heating device was installed to raise the temperature of the intake air and also to make it more consistent. In addition, a pressure sensor was inserted into each of the cylinders to investigate the differences in characteristics among the cylinders.
