SPATIAL TRANSFORMATION PATTERN DUE TO COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY IN KAMPONG HOUSE

ABSTRACT Kampung houses are houses in kampung area of the city. Kampung House oftenly transformed into others use as urban dynamics. One of the transfomation is related to the commercial activities addition by the house owner. It make house with full private space become into mixused house with more public spaces or completely changed into full public commercial building. This study investigate the spatial transformation pattern of the kampung houses due to their commercial activities addition. Site observations, interviews and questionnaires were performed to study the spatial transformation. This study found that in kampung houses, the spatial transformation pattern was depend on type of commercial activities and owner perceptions, and there are several steps of the spatial transformation related the commercial activity addition. Keywords: spatial transformation pattern; commercial activity; owner perception, kampung house; adaptabilit

Selected aspects of providing the chemmotological reliability of the engineering

Transport sector is an important component of the economy that have an impact on the development and prosperity of the population. Rational use of fuels and lubricants, energy efficiency, environmental safety are included into the list of the most important problems of the modern world. Solving these problems determines in a great manner the sustainable development of the world economy and keeping comfort conditions for human being. Efficiency, reliability of operation of vehicles, rational use of operational materials depend on their correct selection. According to its quality operational materials must conform to both the model and operating conditions of vehicles. The use of poor quality materials leads to a decrease in the durability and reliability of machinery and machine parts; the use of materials of higher quality than required causes unreasonable increase in costs. The knowledge of machinery suggest not only the knowledge of construction, kinematic, dynamic, and temperature characteristics but also physico-chemical properties of constituent materials that are necessary for analyzing and forecasting of physico-chemical processes during use of a Fuels or a Lubricants. Thus, the efficiency and reliability of vehicles operation depends not only on their structural characteristics, but also on the optimal selection of Fuels and Lubricants, Technical Liquids and other Operational Materials. Work professional activity of specialists dedicated to petroleum refinery, organizing of storage, transportation and distribution of products, assurance of correspondence between the properties of Fuels, Lubricants, Technical liquids and the conditions of operation of technology and engines aimed at obtaining maximum technical, economical, ecological and social effects is called usage of Fuels, Lubricants and Technical liquids. To know Fuels, Lubricants and Technical liquids is to clearly understand the interconnection of quality parameters with physico-chemical and energy processes, occurring in the process of their use under specific conditions, and also the connection with their chemical and group composition. The knowledge of technology suggest not only the knowledge of construction, kinematic, dynamic, and temperature characteristics but also physico-chemical properties of constituent materials that are necessary for analyzing and forecasting of physico-chemical processes during use of a Fuel or a Lubricant. The study of the essence, regularity (tendens) and connections of phenomena and the processes of use of Fuels, Lubricants, Technical liquids in Aviation Technology with the help of special methodological tools is the base of Aviation Chemmotology. Aviation Chemmotology is a part of Chemmotology that studies and solves the problems of ensuring the necessary quality and application requirements of Fuels and Lubricants used in Aviation Technology. Chemmotological reliability is a reliability of technology depending on the Quality of Fuels and Lubricants (the ability of technology to maintain good reliability when operated with Fuels and Lubricants grades that are of a economically reasonable quality level). This monograph as an intergative scientific work of many scholars is a striking example of the representation of these aspects and really illustrates the modern consolidated work of scientists and practitioners, trends in the development of scientific schools of different universities, different countries and science in general. Because, as is know, science does not have borders. Scientific achievements are global civilizational heritage

Ultra-high temperature concentrated solar thermal energy

Given the extremely high surface temperature of the Sun (~5778 K), solar radiation has the theoretical potential, in accordance with the second law of thermodynamics, to heat a receiver on Earth up to ultra-high temperatures (specified in this thesis as >1300 K). However, there is a gap between theory and practice, as contemporary solar thermal energy systems are still limited to temperatures below 900 K due to material and mechanical limitations. Running solar thermal energy at ultra-high temperatures promises greater energy conversion efficiencies for power plants by upgrading their basic cycles to include more advanced power cycles. Furthermore, the provision of solar thermal energy at ultra-high temperatures can unlock a wide range of energy-intensive industrial applications, including hydrogen and cement production, which can contribute to decarbonising sectors which are difficult to electrify. This thesis proposes a novel concept of an ultra-high temperature solar cavity receiver based on an optically exposed liquid metal heat transfer fluid, which flows down a corrugated back plate. The concept is investigated using a quasi-steady-state analytical energy model, in addition to a radiation-coupled Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) solution. The developed analysis methods are tailored to the proposed class of receivers, nonetheless, they can be generalised for broad solar receiver analysis or for analysing similar problems involving volumetric radiation absorption in other thermal applications. The concept is shown implementable at its absorptive cavity configuration with an overall (optical and thermal) receiver efficiency exceeding 70%. The proposed concept is a step towards narrowing the technological mismatch, in terms of temperature and scale, between state-of-the-art thermal energy storage and concentrated solar thermal at ultra-high temperatures. A characterisation of prospective ultra-high temperature receivers is presented, which involved a review of state-of-the-art solar thermal technologies with the purpose of identifying the existing challenges to operating at ultra-high temperatures. Based on this characterisation, the proposed receiver is designed to address the literature concerns. The proposed receiver concept involved novel engineering features, including the use of refractory containment materials and a transparent ceramic window to seal the aperture. Therefore, the conceptual investigation attempted to address possible concerns that might be introduced by the new features. Finally, the proposed receiver is demonstrated in a concentrated solar power plant application to emphasise, using quantitative terms, the benefits of operating the receiver at ultra-high temperatures for large-scale applications
