Numerical studies were conducted to investigate the internal flow field and combustion characteristics of DISI engine with methanol blended in gasoline. Dual injection was applied and the characteristics were compared to single injection strategy. The amount of the fuel injection was corresponded to air-fuel ratio of each fuel for complete combustion. The preforming model in this study, software STAR-CD was employed for both modeling and solving. The operating speed condition were at 4000 rpm/WOT (Wide open throttle) where the engine was fully warmed. The results of single injection with M28 showed that the uniformity, equivalence ratio, in-cylinder pressure and temperature increased comparing to gasoline (M0). When dual injection was applied, there was no significant change in uniformity and equivalence ratio but the in-cylinder pressure and temperature increased. When M28 fuel and single injection was applied, the CO (Carbon monoxide) and NO (Nitrogen oxides) emission inside the combustion chamber increased approximately 36%, 9% comparing with benchmarking case in cylinder prior to TWC (Three Way Catalytic converter). When dual stage injection was applied, both CO and NO emission amount increased.

Exhausting fossil fuel and increasing concern of air pollution have brought on the change of the focus of developing new vehicles from performance to fuel economy and emission. The gasoline engines adopting the naturally aspirated way use the throttle-body for engine load control. Therefore, its pumping loss increases more than that of the diesel engine, and also mostly operating in a partial load condition has bad influence on fuel economy and emission. In these days, the continuous variable valve timing system and variable induction system are adopted in order to improve fuel consumption and emission. In this study, we optimize the runner length and operate region of variable induction system to simulataneously improve the performance, fuel economy, and emission of gasoline engine with employing GT-Power as a CAE tool for engine analysis and PIAnO as PIDO tool for process integration and design optimization.

A commercial DOHC four valve engine was modified to make a single-cylinder optical model engine with replaceable head. Three kinds of head were used to generate swirl, tumble, and combined swirl/tumble motion. Schlieren visualization technique was applied to characterize the in-cylinder flow qualitatively. Particle Image velocimetry has been developed and applied for the quantitative flow measurements. Axial and tangential flow motion inside the cylinder has been characterized. The swirl/tumble port shows beneficial results in terms of turbulence generation for the initial flame propagation and mean swirl motion for the overall flame propagation.

It is known that diesel engines have the disadvantage of high emission levels of NOx and PM. Therefore, many combustion strategies have been developed to reduce these harmful NOx and PM emissions in a diesel engine. Among these strategies, HCCI(Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition) and PCCI(Premixed Charge Compression Ignition) are the most popular as these can reduce NOx and PM simultaneously. However, when a single fuel like diesel is applied, it is difficult to control the combustion phase and this can lead to power reduction. In this study, premixed gasoline and pilot diesel were used to overcome the problems of controllability of the combustion phase and harmful emissions. We injected gasoline directly into the combustion chamber and the gasoline/air mixture was ignited with a pilot diesel fuel near the top dead center. The results showed that the combustion and emission characteristics of dual-fuel combustion were comparable to those of conventional diesel combustion. When we applied the dual-fuel PCCI combustion concept, more than 90 % of NOx and PM emission was reduced simultaneously without significant degradation of efficiency compared to conventional diesel combustion.

According to the increasing concern on the global environment, the $CO_2$ regulation has been discussed including automobile emission regulation. In order to cope with this rapid changing circumstances, the development of an ultra low emission and super fuel economy automobile is essential. Direct injection LPG engine is the one of the possible future engine to maximize the engine efficiency. This experimental study for the development of direct injection LPG engine technology is promoted with two parts; spray characteristics of high pressure swirl injector, and performance characteristics of direct injection LPG engine. Engine characteristics according to the fuel was analyzed in order to establish stratified combustion technology for LPG engine by using the DISI engine. In the engine experiment, control system was manufactured for gasoline and LPG fuel. The engine was modified 2,000 cc GDI engine (fuel supply device, fuel injection device). Through this experiment, engine operating condition, engine speed and spark timing (MBT), fuel injection position, and fuel rate were investigated.

Gasoline Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) combustion is a new combustion concept. Unlike the conventional internal combustion engine, the premixed fuel mixture with high residual gas rate is auto-ignited and burned without flame propagation. There are several operating factors which affect HCCI combustion such as start of combustion (SOC), residual gas fraction, engine rpm, etc. Among these factors SOC is a critical factor in the combustion because it affects exhaust gas emissions, engine power, fuel economy and combustion characteristics. Therefore SOC of gasoline HCCI should be controlled precisely, and SOC detection should be preceded SOC control. This paper presents a control oriented SOC detection method using 50 percent normalized difference pressure. Normalized difference pressure is defined as the normalized value of difference pressure and difference pressure is difference between the in-cylinder firing pressure and the motoring pressure. These methods were verified through the HCCI combustion experiments. The SOC detection method using difference pressure provides a fast and precise SOC detection.

최근 자동차 배기가스 규제가 더욱 강화됨에 따라 완전 연소를 통한 배기가스 저감에 관하여 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 특히, 고온 연소시 문제가 되는 질소 산화물의 저감을 위해 많은 노력을 기울이고 있다. 질소 산화물을 저감하는데 효과적인 EGR 기술의 도입이 보편화되고 있지만, 각 실린더별 EGR 분배 특성에 따라 엔진의 성능이 달라지는 역효과가 발생한다. 시제품을 동한 EGR 분배특성 파악은 비용과 시간 측면에서 상당한 난제가 산재해있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 실험시간과 비용 절감을 위하여 1D 성능해석 프로그램인 GT-Power를 적용 EGR의 분배특성을 예측하였다.

리서취법과 모터법(RON과 MON)에 의한 가솔린 옥탄가는 가솔린의 연료로서의 성능에 관한 품질의 동력학적 측정값이다. 가솔린 옥탄가(RON과 MON)를 측정하기 위한 방법으로는 ASTM 표준엔진 시험방법(RON:ASTM D-2699, MON:ASTM D-2700)이 사용되고 있다. 그러나 이 방법은 재현성, 반복성 등이 매우 낮아서 오래 전부터 비판되어지고 있다. 또한 이 방법에 의한 측정시 그에 따른 비용 및 가동시간 등으로 인하여 비엔진 측정방법(기체 크로마토그래피법, 핵자기공명 분광법 등)에 대한 연구가 진행되어왔다. 본 연구에서는 $^{13}C-NMR$ 분광법을 이용하여 가솔린의 탄소 유형별 구조적 조성을 결정한 후 높은 정확도로 옥탄가(RON과 MON)를 예측하였다 그리고 옥탄가에 대한 가솔린의 분자구조적 조성의 영향에 관하여 고찰하였다.

본 연구는 불꽃 점화 기관의 실린더내의 연료 액적의 기화과정에 대한 수치 해석이다. 본 연구의 특징은 무차원 임계 액적 수명시간을 정의하여 가솔린엔진의 흡입 및 압축행정동안 연료 액적의 가열 및 기화과정을 모델화한 것이다. 수치해석 결과는 압축행정동안 기체 온도 및 압력의 동시적 증가는 액적의 기화율에 서로 보상적인 영향을 미치려는 경향을 보이고 있다. 즉 실린더 내 환경의 변화는 연료 액적의 기화과정에 민감하지 않다는 것을 보이고 있다. 이 프로그램은 압축행정 말기에 완전히 기화할 수 있는 액적의 크기를 예측할 수 있다.
