An experimental study was carried out to investigate the global spray behavior and spray characteristics of high-pressure fuel injector in the direct-injection goasoline enginet. The atomization characteristics of fuel spary such as mean droplet size, mean velocity , and velocity distribution were measured by the phase Doppler particle analyzer. The spray tip penetration and spray width were investigated by the result fo visualizaiton experiment. The quantitiative spary characteristics of injector spray were measured under various sparay conditions and ambient pressures. The results of experiment show that the increase in ambient pressure have influence on the spray tip penetration and spray development process. Also, the influence of injection pressure and measuring location on the mean velocity and droplet size distribution were discussed.

When an oxidizing catalytic converter which makes use of platium as a catalyst is employed by means if emission control of CO and HC gasoline engine, the effects of important factors for the purification efficiency, i.e engine speed and secondary air rate, on the reduction of CO and HC concentrations in the exhaust gas are studied experimentally. In the experiment, gasoline and LPG are used as a fuel, and the purification efficiency is examined and the results of both cases are compared with each other. The experimental results showed that the purification efficiency in the case of LPG is usually higher than that of gasoline, and the optimum values of engin speed and secondary air rate for maximum purification efficiency exist in common on both cases.

이상 최근 10년 사이 현저하게 보여준 엔진관계의 신기술과 그 배경 등을 돌아 보았을 때 발전하 는 가운데 특히 4륜차용 2사이클 엔진의 몰락이나 엔진의 주요 부품인 기화기의 쇠태는 그 어느 것이나 시대의 요구에 대한 기술의 한께 혹은 신기술의 개발 템포에 추종키 여려웠던 때문인 것 으로 생각된다. 2사이클 엔진은 비출력이 높고 밸브기구가 없어서 구조가 간단한 등의 장점이 있는 반면 배출가스대책(특히 HC), 경부하시의 부정연소 등의 문제를 가지고 있어 4륜차용으로 서는 배출가스규제를 계기로 SAAB(스웨덴), DKW(서독)의 2사이클 엔진이 자취를 감추게 되었 고 현재 남아있는 것은 일본의 경트럭용 엔진에 지나지 않는다. 또 기화기에 대해서도 배출가 스규제에 대한 대응에 밀려 공연비의 제어성, 고도에 대한 보정성, 내열신뢰성, 제어성, 고도에 대한 보정성, 내열신뢰성, 운전성 등의 요구에 엄해진 반면 흡기포트내(PI), 혹은 흡기관 중양부 내(SPI) 가솔린분사방식에 눌려서 가변벤투리식 등도 미국(1982), 일본(1983)에서 발표되었으나 1985년형의 미국차 엔진에는 기화기의 정착율이 50%에 지나지 않는등승용차용 분야에서는 그 사용이 점차 줄어두는 추세에 있다.

It is an experimental study to improve the characteristics of combustion and exhaust emission gas in the gasoline engine. These characteristics are influenced by the fuel droplet size. To improve these characteristics, we make the ultrasonic atomization apparatus, and compare with the commercial carburetor. The results obtained are as follows: 1. Maximum atomization quantity is obtained by the vibrator of resonancy frequency 1.65MHz in the ultrasonic atomization apparatus. 2. With ultrasonic atomization apparatus, more than 99% of atomization rate can be obtained regardless of intake air temperature, velocity, and air-fuel ratio. 3. Atomization rate of the commercial carburetor increases with the air-fuel ratio and intake air temperature. 4. Difference of atomization rate between the ultrasonic atomization apparatus and the commercial carburetor increases with decreasing air-fuel ratio. 5. Droplet size is about 1-5.mu.m at the ultrasonic atomization apparatus, and 80-150.mu.m at the commercial carburetor, which indicates the ultrasonic atomization apparatus is excellent in atomization.

As a mean of increasing engine power, great attention has been concentrated on the turbo-charging owing to better fuel economy, smaller engine size and lower emission. The performance in turbocharged engine depends not only on the efficiency of the engine and the turbocharger used, but also on the total characteristics of the system by the matching turbocharger to the engine. The matching of the turbocharger to the engine has been usually accomplished by the empirical techniques with a great deal of laborious work. It would be better to predict the performance and emission in the turbocharged engine using the effective simulation model. In this study, computer simulation program has been developed to predict the transient variation of properties of gas in the cylinder, intake and exhaust pipes, the engine performances and emissions.

Recently the automobile engine has been developed in achieving the high performance, fuel economy, and emission reduction. In a conventional spark ignition engine the fuel and air are mixed together in the intake system, inducted through the intake valve into the cylinder, and then compressed. Under normal operating conditions, the combustion is initiated towards the end of the compression stroke at the spark plug by an electric discharge. Following inflammation, a flame develops and propagates through this premixed fuel-air mixture. Therefore the state of mixture is very important in the combustion and emission characteristics. In this study the combustion and emission characteristics were tested and analyzed with changing the mixture composition and engine operating parameters in order to improve the combustion and performance in engine.

In this study, a computer analysis has been developed for predicting the pipe pressure of the intake and exhaust manifold. To obtain the boundary conditions for a numerical analysis, one dimensional and non-steady gas dynamic calculation is performed by using the MOC(Method Of Characteristic). The main numerical parameters are the variation of the engine revolution to calculate the pulsating flow which the intake and exhaust valves arc working. The comparison of exhaust pressure in case of numerical results is quite matched with in case of experimental results. When engine revaluation is increased, the pressure amplitude showed a high value, but the pressure frequency was decreased.

With the recent interest in methanol as a SI engine fuel, aldehyde emissions have become a greater concern. A M-90 fueled passenger car was operated in a chassis dynamometer using FTP 75 driving cycle to examine formaldehyde emissions. Formation process of aldehyde and methods to reduce them are discussed in this paper for a SI-engine passenger car operating by M-90. Aldehyde emissions have been found to be 3 to 7 times higher from M-90 than from gasoline, while CO, NOx, THC are as low or lower than gasoline. Noble metal compositions appeared to play a role in formaldehyde and unburned methanol emission performance. For example, catalyst Pd showed better reduction of both formaldehyde and methanol than catalyst Pt. however, emission rates of formaldehyde and methanol for catalyst Pt were relatively similar to catalyst Pt/Rh.

In this paper, the fuel atomization effect of a spark-ignition engine on the lean burn characteristics is studied. The fuel atomization is enhanced by heating the inside of the intake manifold with electric heater. Several operating parameters including cyclic variation are expressed against the air-fuel ratio from the experimental results. The fuel atomization gives much influence on the combustion stability. As the intake manifold is heated, the combustion duration decreased and the value of COV in the lean region as well as in the theoretical equivalence ratio became smaller than of not-heated.

The purpose of this study is to develop an exhaust gas recirculation valve for reduction of the NOx emission of the gasoline engine. In this study the back pressure modulated(BPM) EGR system was developed and tested for the 1.6$\ell$ gasoline engine. By this system 50% of NOx emission was reduced at 7% EGR rate. Fuel consumption and CO emission were not affected by EGR but HC was increased up to the level of allowable limit. Overall operation was satisfactory. As a result of this study, the technics for developing EGR valve and adjusting the engine for EGR have been established.
