Life cycle assessment was carried out to evaluate the environmental values of dimethylas a diesel alternative fuel with the assumption of dimethyl ether production from natural gas via synthesis gas. The whole life cycles from raw material acquisitions to the final usages of diesel and dimethyl ether were involved in the assessment. Inventory analysis showed that the most significant environmental impacts came from resource depletions and air emissions. Impact assessment revealed that dimethyl ether was environmentally better in the aspect of human health and ecosystem quality but worse in resource depletions compared with diesel fuel. Suggestions for environmental improvement of dimethyl ether as a diesel alternative fuel were prepared based on the assessment results.

The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of biodiesel blending on spray and combustion characteristics. In order to this, blended fuels containing 0, 5, 20, 50, 100% biodiesel in weight fraction was injected via common rail to constant volume combustion chamber. As a result, spray cone angle decreased and the Sauter mean diameter increased because of the higher dynamic viscosity and density of biodiesel, however, it does not seemed that spray penetration was affected by these factors considerably. In the combustion experiment, ignition delay of biodiesel was shorter than that of diesel due to higher cetane number. And the peak value of heat release rate increased and the end of combustion was advanced owing to higher combustion efficiency cause by the characteristic of oxygenated fuel.

내연기관은 19세기에 발명되어 20세기에 이르는 약 100여년에 걸쳐 계속 발달하여, 오늘날은 육.해.공의 각종 원동기로 사용되어 인간생활에 없어서는 안될 중요한 위치를 차지하고 있다. 사용연료는 거의가 액체연료인 석유계가 대부분을 차지하고 있고, 이의 수요가 날로 증가됨으로써 석유자원의 고갈 위기와 함께 유해성 배출가스의 방출에 기인되는 환경오염의 측면에서도 매우 심각한 문제로 대두되고 있다. 따라서 종래의 석유계 연료로부터 탈피하여 값싸고 장기적으로 안정하게 고급될 수 있는 대체연료 개발과 에너지 절약기술에 대한 다각적인 연구가 전 세계적으로 확산되고 있다. 이러한 대체연료는 단순히 가격면에서 뿐만 아니라 장기적 공급이 가능해야 하고 또한 석유자원의 고갈과 비상시의 대비를 위한 관점에서도 취급되어야 할 것으로 본다. 이러한 관점에서 어유는 어류의 자원이 고갈되지 않는 한 생산이 계속 가능하므로 대체연료로서의 이용가치를 검토할 필요가 있다고 본다. 따라서, 본 해설에서는 디젤기관용 대체연료로서 가격이 싸고 공급이 비교적 용이한 정어리유(sardine oil)를 경유와 여러비율로 혼합한 경유-어유 혼합유를 정용연소기와 선박용 디젤기관에 사용하여 그 연소특성을 기존의 경유 사용시와 비교 설명하고자 한다.

As a preliminary study on the spray behavior characteristics of emulsified fuel, the fuel properties (viscosity, surface tension, and density) and evaporation characteristics of a fuel droplet were investigated. The emulsified fuel was made by mixing diesel and $H_2O_2$. In addition, the macroscopic spray behavior characteristics such as the spray penetrations and spray angles of the emulsified and diesel fuels were compared. The stirring condition of the emulsified fuel was a 9:1 mixture of the diesel fuel and the surfactant span 80. The mixing ratios for the hydrogen peroxide were set at EF2, EF12, EF22, EF32, EF42, EF52, EF62, EF72, EF82, and EF92. The injection pressures were set at 400, 600, 800, and 1000 bar. We found that as the mixing ratio of the hydrogen peroxide was increased from EF2 to EF52, the viscosity of the emulsified fuel increased. However, afterward, the viscosity of the emulsified fuel gradually decreased and approached the viscosity value of the diesel fuel. Therefore, generally oil-in-water emulsions were used for the hydrogen peroxide mixing ratios up to 52 (EF52), and water-in-oil emulsions were used for the hydrogen peroxide mixing ratios above 52. Finally, the spray behavior characteristics (spray penetration and spray angle) of the emulsified fuel were found to be almost independent of the mixing ratio.

High thermal efficiency and the ability to use various types of fuel are a few of the many advantages of diesel engines. However, a major disadvantage is that their exhaust emissions are more harmful to humans and the environment than that of conventional engine. Consequently, the provisions of the international emissions standards for diesel engine equipped passenger cars, commercial vehicles, and ships have become more stringent. These standards include the EU Euro 6, the IMO MEPC Tier 3, and the US EPA Tier 4. Ryu et al. published a study that applied fuel additives to two-stroke diesel engines. In this study, a four-stroke diesel engine using diesel oil for a generator is utilized as the test subject, and an experiment is performed to verify whether fuel additive can be used to improve performance and exhaust emissions. In addition, this experimental study presents research results for the application of fuel additives in both two-stroke and four-stroke diesel engines. The experimental results were compared and analyzed by placing an oil-soluble calcium-based organometallic compound in diesel oil. The results confirmed that the addition of fuel additive improved the performance (fuel consumption rate, exhaust gas temperature) and exhaust emissions (NOx, CO) of the diesel engine.

Various type of alternative fuel have been developed due to exhaustion of fossil fuel reserves and high oil price. Biodiesel is produced from the reaction of triglyceride, which is main component of animal fat and vegetable oil, and methanol by methanolysis as it is known for eco- friendly fuel for alternative petrodiesel. In this work, it was analyzed for the characteristics of the blended biodiesel with domestic petrodiesel according to blending ratio. Density, kinematic viscosity and flash point were increased with increasing the content of biodiesel. But the characteristic of blended biodiesel fuel were changed to aggravate in low temperature. Also, the derived cetane number(DCN) from IQT was increased by added biodiesel. Especially, the DCN of biodiesel from palm oil showed 71.26.

Aircraft Auxiliary Power Unit can start and operate using not only main fuel(JP-8) but also specified emergency fuels for emergency operation. In oder to verify emergency fuel requirement, emergency fuel test using commercial diesel fuel was performed. Changes in specific fuel consumption due to use of diesel fuel are 3.5%~7.8%, which satisfied requirement. Diesel fuel showed similar starting characteristic to the JP-8. The specific fuel consumption of diesel increased by 2.0%~3.4% compared with that of JP-8.
