The purpose of this paper is to study for the emission gas control of passenger car. The first example, the PCSV never open when operating condition, but it opened by causing malfunction because of trouble. As a result, the purge gas entered into surge tank, a mount of fuel was displayed with excessive supply on tester. Therefore, it certified the bad-condition of the engine when idling by decreasing of fuel injection quantity from engine ECU. The second example, the hose activating a EGR valve didn't supply the vacuum pressure because of assembling the other part. Thus, it knew the bad-condition of engine that the EGR valve would not work normally by leaking with the other port. The third example, as the rear oxygen sensor of two sensor were fault-installing by changing the sensor of other a car it could not detect of oxygen quantity. Finally, it found the phenomenon of abruptly decreasing vehicle speed when braking a car. Therefore, the system including with emission control has to drastically manage by maximizing condition to role decreasing the emission gas.

The oxidizer shutoff valve of a gas generator controls the mass flow rate of the propellant of a rocket engine using pilot pressure and spring the force of the valve. The developing oxidizer shutoff valve can be shut off if the pilot pressure is removed from the actuator. Therefore, force balancing is necessary to analyze the characteristics of the forces with respect to the opening and closing of the valve in order to evaluate its performance. In light of this, the valve has been designed to adjust the control pressure required to open the poppet and to determine the working fluid pressure at which the valve starts to close. Under cryogenic flow test as a tests level of C.R.T(Control Random Test), the chattering phenomena occurred due to much leakage of a metal seat section. The pressure for chattering of the oxidizer valve is predicted at about 11 bar using force balancing analysis.

A fill-drain valve is operated by provided control gas at the ground for liquid propellant feeding system of space launch vehicle, which fills or drains on-board propellant tanks with a cryogenic oxidizer. We have analyzed and modified the data of fill-drain valve designed by Yuzhnoye. The simulation model of fill-drain valve is designed by using the AMESim code to predict and evaluate the dynamic characteristics and pneumatic behavior of valve. In this study, we performed a dynamic characteristic simulation on design parameter. And we could predict opening/closing time and pressures, operating performances on design parameters. This study will serve as one of reference guides to enhance the developmental efficiency of fill-drain valves with the various operating requirements, which shall be used in the Koreanized Space Launch Vehicle.

When a liquid rocket engine - specifically for the gas-generator cycle engine has throttle valves to control the thrust level and mixture ratio of the engine, it is possible to adjust the inherent flow characteristics of the control valves in order to secure a linearized correlation between the control-process-parameters like the thrust or mixture ratio of an engine and the throttle angle of valve. These linearities can reduce the complexity of the control process and make the process more explicit by ensuring the intuitive control. In this point, we proposed an algorithm within the frame of the in-house-developed program to obtain the control valves' inherent flow characteristics which satisfy the linearity, and calculated the sensitivities of control valves with respect to the throttle angle. Also, we compared the obtained inherent flow characteristics with the existed data and concluded the results are satisfactory.

In-cylinde flow and mixture formation are key contributors to both idle stability and combustion stability at part load condition in SI engine. The real time measurements of air-fuel ration and in- cylinder residual gas fraction are particularly important to obtain a better understanding of the mechanisms for combustion and emissions especially during cold start and throttle transient condition. This paper reports the cycle resolved measurements of residual gas fraction and equivalence ration near speak plug with value timing change and their effects on combustion characteristics at part load. The results showed that the effect of intake value opening on the residual gas fraction was smaller than that of exhaust valve closing because of the decreases of exhaust gas reverse flow from exhaust port. The variation of equivalence ratio near spark plug increased with the increase of value overlap and it closely related with heat release rate and combustion stability

Intake/exhaust valve timing and exhaust cam lift were changed to control the internal exhaust gas recirculation (IEGR) and combustion phase of homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engine. To measure the IEGR rate, in-cylinder gas was sampled during from intake valve close to before ignition start. The lower exhaust cam made shorter valve event than higher exhaust cam and made IEGR increase because of trapping the exhaust gas. IEGR rate was more affected by exhaust valve timing than intake valve timing and increased as exhaust valve timing advanced. In-cylinder pressure was increased near top dead center due to early close of exhaust valve. Ignition timing was more affected by intake valve timing than exhaust valve timing in case of exhaust valve lift 8.4 mm, while ignition timing was affected by both intake and exhaust valve timing in case of exhaust valve 2.5 mm. Burn duration with exhaust valve lift 2.5 mm was longer than other case due to higher IEGR rate. The fuel conversion efficiency with higher exhaust valve lift was higher than that with lower exhaust valve lift. The late exhaust and intake maximum open point (MOP) made the fuel conversion efficiency improve.

우주발사체와 발사지원설비를 연결하여 추진제 공급과 전기신호 송수신 등을 가능하게 하는 메커니즘을 엄브리칼 장치라고 한다. 국내 우주발사체의 경우 액체산소와 케로신을 추진제로 사용하며, 질소, 공기 및 헬륨 등의 가스를 밸브구동, 공간 퍼지, 추진제 가압에 이용한다. 본 논문에서는 우주센터의 발사대설비에 적용된 엄브리칼 장치 중 추진제 및 고압가스 공급을 위한 자동체결장치(auto coupling device)의 구성, 기능 및 발사 준비를 위한 프로세스에 대해 기술하고 있다. 자동체결장치는 발사체 하부 두 곳에 연결되며, 산화제 공급측의 체결장치(coupling device 1)와 연료 공급측의 체결장치(CD 2)로 구성된다. 이 장치는 발사체와의 접촉면에서 기밀을 확보한 상태에서 내부의 탱크, 밸브, 인터스테이지 등에 추진제 및 각종 가스를 공급하는 통로역할을 하며, 발사준비가 완료된 후에는 발사체 이륙 전 또는 이륙과 동시에 발사체로부터 자동으로 분리된다. 각각의 체결장치 구성품으로는 발사체 이륙시 발생하는 고온의 화염으로부터 장치를 보호하는 PD(protective device), 접촉면에 기밀을 제공하고 추진제 누출을 방지는 MCP(multi-channel plate), 접촉면을 보호하기 위한 덮게, 각종 연결 배관의 전진과 후진을 위한 캐리지, 발사체와의 체결을 지지하는 그립 등이 있다. 발사 준비를 위해서 사전에 장치의 독립운용시험을 통해 각 구성품의 상태와 기능을 점검하고 장치의 작동성을 검증한다. 이후 발사체를 모사하는 기체 및 관제설비와 종합적으로 연계 시험과 모사시험을 수행하여 최종적으로 발사준비상태를 확인하게 된다. 이러한 자동체결장치의 운용 경험은 한국형발사체의 지상지원설비 개발에 활용할 수 있을 것이다.
