The European Union has instituted a new emission standard protocol that necessitates real-time measurements from vehicles on actual roads. The adequate development of routes for real driving emissions (RDE) mandates substantial resources, encompassing both vehicles and a portable emission measurement system (PEMS). In this study, a simulation tool was utilized to predict the vehicle speed traversing the routes developed for the RDE measurements. Initially, the vehicle powertrain system was modeled for both a gasoline hybrid vehicle and a gasoline engine-only vehicle. Subsequently, the speed profile for the specified vehicle was constructed based on the RDE route developed for the EURO-6 standard. Finally, the predicted vehicle speed profiles for highway and urban routes were assessed utilizing the actual driving data. The driving model predicted more consistency in the vehicle speed at each driving section. Meanwhile, the human driver tended to accelerate further, and then decelerate in each section, instead of cruising at a predicted section speed.

Multi-injection scheme is being applied to GDI combustion to reduce PM and PN emission to meet the EU7 regulation. However, very short injection duration encounters the ballistic injection region, which injection quantity does not increase linearly with injection duration when applying multi-injection. In this study, numerical studies were conducted to reveal the cause of ballistic injection and the effect of design parameters on ballistic region using 1-D simulation, AMESim. Injection rate and injection quantity were compared with experiment to validate the established model, which showed the accuracy with 10% error. The model revealed that the tendency of ballistic region coincides with the needle motion behavior, which means that parameters at the upper part of needle such as electro-magnetic force, needle spring force and needle friction force have dominant effect on ballistic injection. To figure out the effect of electro-magnetic and needle friction force on ballistic, those parameters were varied to plus and minus 10% with model. The result showed that those parameters clearly changed the ballistic region characteristics, however, the impact became insignificant for outside of ballistic region, which means that the ballistic injection is mainly influenced by initial motion of injector needle.

Heat pumps play a crucial role in achieving the 2050 Net-Zero targets in many countries worldwide. This study addresses this issue by modifying simulation conditions and selecting relevant cases to determine optimal COP conditions using Simulink. By analyzing the efficiency of heat pump heating, utilizing Simulink models provided by MATLAB, and evaluating economic feasibility, we aim to identify the key factors influencing heat pump performance, including the heat source type, refrigerant, heating set temperature, and piping. Our goal is to establish optimal conditions for maximizing the efficiency of these eco-friendly systems while considering economic factors. In this study, it was confirmed that the heat exchanger flow arrangement of the air-source heat pump using R407c was set to cross-flow, and the diameter of the heat exchanger inner tube was set to 0.95 times the existing size, which was found to be optimal for maximizing efficiency. The COP was approximately 4.07 under these conditions.

An experimental study was carried out to determine the correlation between the internal flow in a circular nozzle and elliptical nozzles with the external flow. The flow rate, spray angle and drop size were measured under various conditions of the injection pressure. Numerical simulations were attempted to investigate the internal flow structure in the elliptical nozzles, because the experimental study was limited in its measurements of flow velocity and pressure distributions in the relatively small orifice. In the case of the elliptical nozzles, the disintegration characteristics of the liquid jet were significantly different from those of the circular nozzle. Surface breakup was observed at the jet issued from the elliptical nozzles with injection pressure. This is due to the internal flow structure, which is reattached to the orifice wall at the minor axis plane of the elliptical nozzle, unlike that observed with the circular nozzle.

본 연구에서는 3차원 수치 해석 기법으로 SDR 반응기 내 유동 특성을 모사하여 유동 분포 및 체류 시간등을 확인하고 혼합 특성 개선을 위한 방법에 대해 연구하였다. 본 연구 대상 SDR 반응기는 입구 덕트와 반응기 본체의 접속 구간에 가이드 베인(Guide vane)이 설치되어 있고 그 바로 하부 지점에 흡수제를 분무하는 노즐이 설치되어 있다. 이는 처리가스가 반응기로 유입될 때 가이드 베인에 의해 선회류를 형성하여 분무된 흡수제와의 혼합을 촉진시키기 위한 목적으로 설치하였다. 시간당 1,971$m^3/min$ at $260^{\circ}C$의 처리가스가 반응기 상부로 유입되어 가이드 베인을 거쳐 선회류를 형성한 후흡수제와 혼합되어 하부로 배출되는 구조이다. 유동 특성을 분석한 결과, 처리가스가 반응기 중앙으로 강하게 편중되고 있었으며 반응기 양 측면으로 부상 기류가 형성되고 있음을 확인할 수 있다. 또한 강한 편류에 의해 체류시간도 매우 짧은 것으로 판단되는 바, 가이드 베인의 기류 안내 각도가 적합하지 못함을 확인할 수 있었다. 이는 곧 혼합 특성 저하에 따른 미반응 액적의 다량 발생과 함께 고착에 의한 스케일 형성 가능성이 매우 클 것으로 예상되므로 혼합 특성을 개선할 수 있는 설계 변경이 필요할 것으로 판단되었다. 따라서 편류를 해소하고 노즐 근처에서의 체공시간을 확보할 수 있도록 가이드 베인의 안내 각도를 더 크게 변경한 결과, 기존 설계상에서 본체 중앙에 형성되는 편류가 해소되고 선회류의 전개 각도가 커지면서 체류시간 역시 약 5초 이상으로 유지되고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 가이드 베인의 각도만 변경하더라도 본체 형상의 추가적인 변경없이 유동의 혼합 특성을 개선시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다.

The present study investigated the effect of fire suppression using a mid-low pressure water mist in a carriage fire. The fire extinguishing time and temperature distributions below ceiling in the enclosed compartment of $2.9m{\times}2.8m{\times}5.0m$ were measured by stopwatch and k-type thermocouples for various fire positions. The numerical simulations were extensively performed using. Fire Dynamics Simulator(FDS, Ver. 4.0) code and the predictions were compared with experimental data. The prediction results showed good agreement with the measured maximum temperature in the all cases. Whereas the predicted temperature was about $40^{\circ}C$ higher than the measured one after operating of water mist. The predicted fire extinguishing times were compared with those of measured data. Fires are extinguished within 200 seconds at the experiment in Case 2 and Case 3. But in Case 1 fire was not extinguished in the numerical simulation. The reason of the discrepancy between predicted and measured data was that a simple suppression algorithm has been implemented in FDS. Also, various databases of fire properties for combustible materials and more elaborate model considering the water mist were required fur better predictions of the cooling and suffocation effect.

The SO_x emission from the ship diesel engines will do a negative influence to the human health and the environment. To reduce the negative environmental effect of the SO_x emission caused by the high traffic of ship movements, the SECA (SO_x emission control area) has been set on several province around world to carry out the severe emissions control and to meet the emissions control standard. To cut down the SO_x emission from the ships, the wet type scrubber is being used widely. In this work, we prepared a numerical model to simulate the spray type scrubber to study the motion of liquid droplets in the flow of the scrubber. For the analysis, the CFD (computational fluid dynamics) method was adopted. As a special topic of the study, we designed the wave plate type of mist eliminator to check the carry over of the uncontrolled water droplet to the exhaust. Numerical analysis is divided into two stages. At the first stage, the analysis was done on the basic scrubber without the mist eliminator, and then the second stage of analysis was done on the scrubber with the mist eliminator on several condition to check and compare with the basic scrubber. On the condition of the basic scrubber, 42.0% of the distributed water droplets were carried over to the exhaust. But by adding the designed droplet eliminator at the exhaust of the scrubber, only 3.4% of the distributed water droplets supplied to the scrubber was emitted to the atmosphere.

This study reports a numerical analysis of the internal flow characteristics of the integrated urea-SCR muffler system with the various geometries of the multi-perforated tube which is set up between the muffler inlet and in front of SCR catalysts. The multi-perforated tube is generally used to disperse uniformly the urea-water solution spray and to make better use of the SCR catalyst, resulting in the increased $NO_x$ reduction and decreased ammonia slip. The effects of the multi-perforated tube orifice area ratios on the velocity distributions in front of the SCR catalyst, which is ultimately quantified as the uniformity index, were investigated for the optimal muffler system design. The steady flow model was applied by using a general-purpose commercial software package. The air at the room temperature was used as a working fluid, instead of the exhaust gas and urea-water solution spray mixture. From the analysis results, it was clarified that the multi-perforated tube geometry sensitively affected to the formation of the bulk swirling motion inside the plenum chamber set in front of the SCR catalyst and to the uniformity index of the velocity distribution produced at the inlet of the catalyst.
