In order to investigate the cooling and heating characteristics of a variable-capacity system A/C applying a digital scroll compressor, the cooling and heating capacities and COP are measured by the psychrometric calorimeter. The capacity of the system is controlled by the digital scroll compressor, which is operated by controling PWM valve and the loading vs. unloading time. In the case of unloading compared that of loading, the consumption power of the compressor is about 11% and the capacity variation of the system A/C is within about 1%. When the system A/C is operated under the cooling and heating standard conditions, COP is nearly uniform but cooling capacity and heating capacity increase at minimum, rated and maximum modes. The system A/C applying the digital scroll compressor is effective for the range with high load or the width of large load variation. When the auxiliary heater is on, at the cold region, the system A/C produces the excellent heating capacity.

The economics of a passive solar heating system (PSHS) with the pebble bed heat storage was evaluated, and the applications of the PSHS were analyzed, in this study. The results are as follows: The heating load, solar heat gain, and stored heat/year of the PSHS in the solar house model were found to be 10,778MJ, 3,438MJ, and 11,682MJ, respectively. The yearly energy expenses of the PSHS and the alternative heating system (conventional coal heating system, CCHS), which uses coal, were found to be USD 1.60/year and USD 60.90/year, respectively, and the yearly expenses of the PSHS were found to be 38 times less than those of the alternative heating system (CCHS). If it will be supposed that the life cycle of the passive solar heating system, according to the results of the LCC analysis in the two systems, is 40 years, the total expenses for the life cycle of the PSHS and the CCHS will be USD 1,431.50 and USD 2,740.00, respectively. The period for the investment payback of the PSHS is six years.

The districts of underground geologic structure in Jeju island where underground air is distributed are lava cave, pyroclastic, open joint, and crushing zone. Such districts are identified to secure an enough airflow when air ventilation layer is to secure 25-35m in depth. In Jeju, Ground air is used for heating greenhouse and fertilizing natural $CO_2$ gas by suppling directly into greenhouse. But the heating method by suppling ground air into greenhouse directly bring about several problem. The occurrence of disease of the crops by high humidity is worried because the underground air which becomes discharge from underground air layer has over 90% relative humidity. The underground air is inadequate in heating for crops which need high temperature heating such as mangos, Hallbong and mandarin orange because the temperature of it is $15{\sim}18^{\circ}C$. Also There is worry where the ventilation loss becomes larger because the air pressure inside greenhouse is high by supplying underground air directly. In this study the heat pump system using underground air as heat source was developed and heating performance of the system was analysed. Heating COP of the system was 2.5~5.0 and rejecting heat into greenhouse and extracting heat from underground air were 40,000~27,000 kcal/h, 30,000~18,000 kcal/h respectively.

Purpose: Quick freezing is widely used in commercial food storage. Well-known freezing techniques such as individual quick freezing require a low-temperature coolant and small cuts for the heat-transfer efficiency. However, the freezing method for bulk food resembles techniques used in the 1970s. In this study, electromagnetic (EM) heating was applied to improve the quick freezing of bulk food. Methods: During freezing, the surface of food can be rapidly cooled by an outside coolant, but the inner parts of the food cool slowly owing to the latent heat from the phase change. EM waves can directly heat the inner parts of food to prevent it from freezing until the outer parts finish their phase change and are cooled rapidly. The center temperature of garlic cloves was probed with optical thermo sensors while liquid nitrogen (LN) was sprayed. Results: When EM heating was applied, the center cooling time of the garlic cloves from freezing until $-10^{\circ}C$ was 48 s, which was approximately half the value of 85 s obtained without EM heating. For the white radish cubes, the center cooling time was also improved, from 288 to 132 s. The samples frozen by LN spray with EM heating had a closer hardness to the unfrozen samples than the samples frozen by LN only. Conclusions: The EM heating during quick freezing functions to maintain the hardness of fresh food by reducing the freezing time from 0 to $-10^{\circ}C$.

This study showed that the brown stock, which is the base of demi-glace sauce, extracted by using a high pressure heating extractor is more advantageous than that extracted by the traditional extraction method for the mass production. We compared the former with the latter in terms of minerals and free amino acids. The results of this study are summarized as follows. When mineral contents were compared, the brown stock extracted by high.pressure heating extraction showed the tendency of increase in mineral contents in proportion to heating temperature and heating time, but, from extraction temperature of 140$^{\circ}C$, the contents of K, Mg, Na and P decreased with the increase of extraction time. In addition, mineral contents in the brown stock extracted by high-pressure heating extraction were generally lower than those in brown stock extracted by the traditional extraction method. This result was produced probably because materials were added repeatedly in the traditional method. Amino acids contents in brown stock according to the extraction methods were also examined. They increased with the increase in the number of extractions in the brown stock extracted by the traditional method, and those in the brown stock extracted using a high pressure heating extractor increased with the increase in heating temperature and extraction time. The results of this study are expected to be useful as a practical material for the mass production of brown stock products.

In order to determine the material characteristics of pork rinds according to the breeds, the chemical composition, color, pH, collagen contents, shear force, fatty acid and amino acid contents of pork rinds were investigated. White pork rinds (WPR) and black pork rinds (BPR) were evaluated before and after heating to compare the differences between breeds and the effects of heating treatment. In the chemical composition test, the respective moisture contents for WPR and BPR before heating were 49.90% and 53.75% but increased to 60.75% and 61.09% after heating. The test for crude protein and crude fat contents showed lower values after heating but WPR was higher than BPR. In the color test, the L value decreased rapidly with heating, dropping from 68.75 to 45.11 in WPR and from 67.22 to 49.64 in BPR. WPR had a higher L value and a lower a value than BPR before heating but had a higher L value and a lower a value than WPR after heating. pH was significantly higher in WPR than BPR regardless of heating (p<0.05). The collagen content for WPR and BPR was 10.38 g/100 g and 11.54 g/100 g but increased to 12.00 g/100 g in WPR and decreased to 11.40 g/100 g in BPR after heating. The shear force of 26.14 kgf in WPR was significantly higher than 12.89 kgf in BPR before heating (p<0.05), but the values decreased significantly after heating in both WPR and BPR. Linoleic acid in WPR was 17.29%, which was higher than 15.13% in BPR. The USFA for BPR was also higher than WPR. In amino acid composition, the EAA contents in WPR was 7,190 mg%, which was higher than 5,520 mg% in BPR.

MoSi2 heating elements were fabricated by sintering of MoSi2 powders which were synthesized through SHS(Self-propagating high-temperature synthesis). Their high-temperature oxidation behavior in air through SHS(Self-propagating high-temperature synthesis). Their high-temperature oxidation behavior on air at 1000-1600$^{\circ}C$ was investigated through a high-temperature X-ray diffractomer and isothermal heating in a muffle furnace. The thermal expansion of MoSi2 and SiO2 was studied by measuring their lattice parameters on heating. The linear expansion coeffcient of MoSi2 along c-axis was about 1.5 times larger than that along a-axis showing a strong thermal anisotropy. Few $\mu\textrm{m}$-thick Mo5Si3 layer was found beneath SiO2 layer suggesting that The major reaction products would be SiO2 and Mo5Si3. The Si-rich bentonite resulted in the faster growth of MoSi2 grains probably by enhancing the mass transport when they are melted during high-temperature oxidation.

Electric resistance spot welding has been used to join overlapped steel sheets in automotive bodies. Recently to reduce weight in automotive vehicles, non-ferrous metals are being used or considered in car bodies for hoods, trunk lids, doors parts, etc. Various welding processes such as laser welding, self-piercing rivet, friction stir welding are being used. In the current study, a new electric resistance heated friction stir spot welding is suggested for the spot welding of non-ferrous metals. The welding method can be characterized by three uses of heat -- electric resistance heating, friction stir heating and conduction heating of steel electrodes -- for the fusion joining at the interfacial zone between the two sheets. The welding process has variables such as welding current, diameter of the steel electrodes, revolutions per minute (rpm) of the friction stir pin, and the insert depth of the stir pin. In order to obtain the optimal welding variables, which provide the best welding strength, many experiments were conducted. From the experiments, it was found that the welding strength could be reached to the required production value by using an electrode diameter of 10mm, a current of 7.6kA, a stirring speed of 400rpm, and an insert depth of 0.8mm for the electric resistance heated friction stir spot welding of 5052 aluminum 1.5mm sheets.

Paulownia tomentosa is one of fast-growing wood species in Korea. In order to evaluate the solid bioenergy properties of Paulownia tree, this study examined the heating value, moisture content (MC), pH and proximate analysis of stem, branch, root, bark and leaf. The heating values of wood parts were slightly higher than those of bark and leaf, and that of branch was the highest among all the samples. The higher moisture content of bark and leaf referred to their lower heating value. Also, the pH of stem, branch and root was similar and lower than those of bark and leaf. The ash content of bark and leaf was much higher than that of wood parts, which is the one of the reasons for effect on the lower heating value and higher pH. While, the volatile matter content (VMC) of bark and leaf was lower than those of wood parts. The bark showed the highest fixed carbon content (FCC), while the FCC of stem was the lowest among all the samples. The obtained results are encouraging that the Paulownia tree could be totally utilized as alternative fuels for bioenergy production.
