This paper presents the FEM analysis results on the strength safety of LPG fuelling nozzle, which is composed of ball valve and long cylinder tube. For the strength safety analysis of LPG fuelling Nozzle, the gas pressure of 0.5~3.5MPa has been supplied to the ball valve and long cylinder tube bodies with the wall thickness of 1.7~3.5mm. The maximum von Mises stress of the ball valve with 1.7mm wall thickness is 25.4MPa for the supply gas pressure of 3.5MPa, which is 25.9% compared with that of the yield stress of the brass. And the maximum von Mises stress was 23.7MPa when a 3.5MPa gas pressure was applied to a long cylinder tube with a wall thickness of 1.7mm, which was 6.7% more safe than the ball valve which was analyzed under the same conditions. For the increased wall thickness, 2.0mm of the long cylinder tube, the maximum von Mises stress of 20.2MPa is 14.8% more safe compared with that of 1.7mm wall thickness of the same cylinder tube. Thus, the wall thickness of the ball valve and cylinder tube is recommended as an optimized thickness of 1.7~2.0mm for the strength safety of the LPG fuelling nozzle.

A household gas valve is used for flow control of LPG(Liquefied Petroleum Gas) or LNG(Liquefied Natural Gas) of which pressure is about $200mmH_2O(\fallingdotseq\;0.0196[bar])$. Currently, two kinds of valves such as rotary type and button type are widely used in many applications. But, these valves have some problems that they are not controllable and reliable. Piezo actuation combined with modem microelectronics provides a reliable, quiet, low energy, infinitely adjustable gas valve. In this paper, gas valve using piezo actuator which are bimorph and a circle type was studied. Also, Prototype for gas valve was manufactured and characteristics of the prototype gas valve were analyzed.

ORVR filler neck check valve, which is one of the essential components of the vapor fuel control system, should diminish the evaporation by maintaining laminar fluid flow on refueling process. This study presents numerical. results of pressure and velocity distributions of the fluid flow in a ORVR filler neck check valve on refueling process. CFD-ACE+ has been employed for numerical analysis based on the information of experimental results of valve position as a function of inlet flow rate. No abrupt pressure change, which may causes vaporization of fuel, has been confirmed to take place on the concave surface of the valve spool. However, it is clear that some possibility exist at the mid-position of surface of valve spool and downstream according to the opening of valve.

The pyrovalves are widely used in aerospace industry for the opening and closing of flow channel due to the light-weight, high reliability and zero-leakage. In the United States, the loss of some spacecrafts using hydrazine as the propellent were proven by the blowby. Blowby is defined as the leakage of pyrovalve ignition combustion gas to the flow channel. Since then, the interference fit was applied for the sealing of piston to prevent the blowby. In this study, literature survey on pyrovalve technology is summarized mainly for AIAA papers. Common problems, improvement method, and performance comparisons of pyrovalves are also presented.

This paper searched through mixture ratio response test whether exert effect that is some in part load performance of engine according to inlet valve angle in gasoline engine. Engines that inlet valve angle is narrow decreased quantity of NOx among exhaust gas than engine that inlet valve angle is wide, and ignition timing was retard, and fuel consumption improved a little. That quantity of NOx among exhaust gas decreases and ignition timing was retard can judge that fast burning occurred. Fast burning can decrease output decline and misfire that can happen at lean burning. Can be judged by thing which engine's combustion performance improves if inlet valve angle is narrow if examine test result.

In this paper it is proposed to solve the problem of particulate matter reducing apparatus of the current DPF. One exhaust gas passage 2-way controlled to purify the exhaust gas generated during combustion efficiently. Through the control of the rotary valve within a single device, it is possible to prevent the exhaust pressure increases due to particulate matter accumulate inside the developing DPF. Develop DPF device capable of inducing a high efficiency of the output in order to improve the problem of reducing the engine output and fuel efficiency.

This paper include the investigation of finding the system characteristics of facility by simulating open-type turbo-pump fed system, which has commercial control valves, using AMESIM (Advanced Modeling Environment Simulation) commercial software. After developing a flight-type control valve on the basis of the results, the system characteristics of facility for control and valve tests is estimated. Especially, one of purposes of this paper is to find PID value of each commercial control valve in the facility for system test. To find suitable control logic, PI and PID modes are also compared. This paper also introduces design parameters of valve and equipment for thrust control and TDS simulation, which are using control valves.

A vent-relief valve performs as a safety-valve assembly for liquid propellant feeding system of space launch vehicle, which relives pressurant propellant tanks during the filling and the flight. At vent mode, valve is opened and closed by driving pneumatic pressure, and at relief mode, valve is automatically operated to set relief pressure. In this study, we have analyzed a basic layout of vent-relief valve which is designed using foreign LVs(Saturn) to satisfy requirements of Korean Space Launch Vehicle. The simulation model of vent-relief valve is designed by using the AMESim code to verify design parameters and evaluate pneumatic behaviors of valve. In this study, we performed dynamic characteristic simulations on design parameters. And we could predict opening/closing time and pressures, operating performances on design parameters. Using this results, we could suggest detail design and boundary conditions of design.
