The paper describes an experimental investigation of axisymmetric diesel spray and flame which is held in rapid compression machine (RCM) with electromagnetic single injection nozzle. The axisymmetric diesel spray and flame are taken with high speed photograph and analysis it with image processor. The data presented include fuel concentration of spray, flame temperature, soot concentration of flame in axial and radial direction at a moment and compared it with each other.

To analyze a formation process of the soots in spray flame in the combustion chamber, an optically accessible DI Diesel engine was used for visualization. The images of the flames and soots were visualiaed with high speed camera by Schlieren method and Light extinction method. The spray flame and soot images on the films were analyzed at the various engine operating conditions. Soot distributed widely in spray flame and its concentration was about $100g/m^3$ at the position close by nozzle tip of spray flame region, however it decreased below $20g/m^3$ at the corner of combustion chamber due to soot oxidation.

In this study, a mixture fraction analysis was performed to investigate the characteristics of chemical species production in compartment fires burning hydrocarbon fuels such as methane, heptane, and toluene. A series of fire experiments was conducted in the ISO 9705 standard room, and gas species concentration and soot fraction were measured at two locations in the upper layer of the compartment. The mass fractions of measured chemical species, such as unburned hydrocarbons (UHC), carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide ($CO_2$), oxygen ($O_2$), and soot were presented as a function of mixture fraction and compared with state relationships based on the idealized reaction of hydrocarbon fuels. The mixture fraction analysis made it possible to rearrange hundreds of species measurements, which were done under various fire conditions and at two locations of the upper layer, in term of the unified parameter, i.e. the mixture fraction. The results also showed that inclusion of soot in the mixture fraction calculation could improve the performance of analysis, especially for the sooty fuels such as heptane and toluene.

There were some papers for diesel engine performance tests using BDF, but few article deals with the temperature and soot concentration of Bio diesel flame. Since the flame temperature of diesel engines is so high and change rapidly, an optical method for measurement of flame temperature is known as the most effective one. The two-color method regarding the visible wavelength radiation for the soot particles in flame was applied on Bio diesel flame in order to measure flame temperature and soot concentration in a diesel engine. Photo detecting device was newly designed and employed TSL250R, photo-diode, to pick-up the light information emitted from the combustion flame. As a result, real flame temperature T, as a flame brightness temperature, through Ta1, Ta2, were obtained and finally the characteristics of KL value as a soot concentration reveal the difference of combustion information between diesel fuel, blending oil and Bio diesel fuel oil.

The present study performs a series of 40 % reduced scale of ISO-9705 fire test to investigate the characteristics of heat flux on the floor level in terms of fire characteristics and location in the compartment. The heat flux was measured with Schmidt-Boelter type heat flux gauge at two locations on the floor level of inside and doorway side of the compartment. Different types of fuel - methane, heptane, toluene, ethanol, polystyrene - were burned in this test series. The measured heat flux inside of the compartment was relatively higher than that of front side as the heat release rate of fire and upper layer temperature increased. The difference of measured heat flux at inside and doorway side increased for high sooty fire. The present study shows that the heat flux distribution at lower layer greatly depend on the thermal radiation from fire and upper layer, not only the upper layer temperature but also various fire characteristics such as composition of combustion gases, soot concentration, ventilation condition and so on.

In this paper, an investigation of the property of blended fuel oil, combustion characteristics and engine performance was made, in case blended fuel oil(light oil+heavy oil) was used in a home-made precombustion diesel engine for small-sized fishing boat. The results may be summarized as follows: 1. The specific gravity was linearly increased in accordance with the increase in heavy oil ratio in blended fuel oil, and the relationship between viscosity and temperature was coincided with the formula of Walther-ASTM, and the CCAI, the ignition quality index, was increased nearly as a straight line of the gradient 1.0. 2. The ignition delay was slightly increased below 810 of CCAI(blending ratio to be 60% of heavy oil), but remarkably increased above 810 of CCAI. Therefore, it was considered that the practicable value of CCAI, ignition quality of blended fuel oil, was more than 810. 3. The maximum combustion pressure was increased until blending ratio of heavy oil was raised up to 40%. On the contrary, it came to be decreased at that ratio, with smoke emissions remarkably increasing above 60%. Therefore, it was found in this experiment that the best practicable limit of heavy oil blending ratio was around 50% for saving fuel costs with least smoke emissions.

Current status on the occurrence and the management of the major disease, insect and mite pests were investigated in the organic or non-chemical pest control orchards from 2005 to 2009. Numbers of certified organic or non-chemical apple orchards were increased from 14 in 2005 to 78 in 2008. Severe damages on leaves and fruits occurred by the several diseases such as marssonina blotch, bitter rot, white rot, sooty blotch and flyspeck, and the several insect pests such as apple leaf-curling aphid, woolly apple aphid, oriental fruit moth and peach fruit moth on the almost certified organic or non-chemical pest control orchards. About 10 and 18 environmental-friendly materials were used to control diseases and insect or mite pests respectively. But, lime sulfur and bordeaux mixture to diseases and machine oil, plant oil mixed with egg yolk, and pheromone mating disruptions to insect pests were effective to control under the adequate conditions. At present, it is extremely difficult to produce organic apples in Korea. Growers must consider about and solve so many conditions on the cultivar, weather, local site, marketing and so on, before when they decide to change from conventional or IPM(Integrated Pest Management) to organic or non-chemical pest control orchards.

This paper is concerned with the effects of temperature of diesel fuel on combustion characteristics and engine performance in a home-made precombustion diesel engine for small-sized fishing boat. The results may be summarized as follows: 1. The fuel injection timing was delayed with increase in temperature for diesel fuel, and remarkably delayed at low load. 2. The point of maximum pressure was delayed with increase in temperature for diesel fuel, the maximum pressure decreased with increase in temperature for diesel fuel but increased with increase in load. 3. The brake specific fuel comsumption (BSFC) decreased with increase in load, the optimum temperature of the heated fuel was about 15$0^{\circ}C$. 4. The smoke emissions increased with increase in load and temperature for diesel fuel.
