The torque is an important measure that represents the performance of a particular engine. Furthermore the information of engine torque can be used as a primary feedback parameter in modem engine management system. In this paper, a methodology is proposed for torque estimation of SI-engine. Since the proposed method uses cylinder pressure sensor, the torque can be estimated in a simple manner. The indicated torque is estimated from the peak pressure and its location, and the load torque is observed by the state observer based on the estimated indicated torque. The proposed method is accurate and robust against the variations that affect the torque production such as spark timing, mass air flow and others. This torque estimation method may be an alternative solution to the use of engine torque maps in a modem torque-based engine management system.

This paper presents the results of investigation, the aim of which was to predict theoretically the processes of thermodynamic cycle of M-combustion chamber type diesel engine. The combustion characteristics in cylinder are evaluated from the energy equation for an thermodynamic system in engine cylinder. In order to predict the combustion pressure in cylinder, the engine is divided in various control volumes. The simulation results of combustion characteristics show that the comparison of computed and measured values brings about the good coincidence.

프시톤 형상에 관한 연구는 엔진의 열효율을 상승시키는데 중점을 두었으나 캘리포니아주의 환경 관련 법안을 계기로 공해 물질의 배출을 중이는 방향으로 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 즉, 실린더내의 최고 온도와 압력을 적정한 수준에서 조절하여 공해물질의 방출을 극소화시키면서 열효율을 높힐 수 있는 방안에 대한 연구를 많이 진행하고 있다. 본 논문은 유한요소법을 이용하여 저마찰 패드식 피스톤에 대한 트라이볼로지적 해석으로 피스톤의 편심에 따른 압력 분포도 해석, 마찰력과 피스톤의 동특성에 대하여 알아보고자 한다. 이들을 해석하기 위한 가장 중요한 역학적 상태량은 피스톤 표면의 압력 분포와 피스톤의 편심량이며 특히, 압력 분포 해석은 피스톤의 유막 설계시 기본이 된다.

디이젤 엔진은 피스톤이 실린더 내를 왕복 운동하면서 압축행정에서 연료의 연소에 의해 발생된 고열을 받아 고온에서 작동되기 때문에 피스톤 헤드에서 받은 열은 속히 아래부분으로 전달시 키고 동시에 실린더 벽으로 전달되게 하여야 한다. 여기서 열이 문제가 되는 요소를 생각해 보면, (1) 고압 : 연소 최고폭발압력이 높기 때문에 압력상승률도 커져 격렬한 연소상태가 된다. (2) 고온 : 격심한 가스 유동과 실린더 직경이 크기 때문에 피스톤 헤드부의 온도가 높아진다. (3) 연소생성물 중에 엔진 및 윤활유에 악 영향을 주는 성분이 많다. (4) 경량, 저가격 구조 때문에 열적 및 역학적 변형이 일어나기 쉽다. (5) 사용조건이 가혹해 연료가 이상 현상을 가져온다. 위의 요소들을 가지고 온도의 분포, 열의 전달과정, 피스톤 냉각 등에 대해서 알아본다.

유압 실린더용 유패킹의 접촉력, 접촉폭, 돌출발생 임계압력을 밀봉간극에 대하여 유한요소법을 이용하여 수치적으로 해석하였다. 초기 간섭량이 증가함에 따라 접촉력 및 접촉폭은 급격하게 증가하였다. 그러나 유압이 작용하는 상태에서 밀봉간극이 감소하면 시일의 돌출현상이 발생하는 임계압력은 보다 가파르게 증가함을 확인하였다. 초기 간섭량에 의한 접촉력으로 부터 유압 실린더의 누설에 관련된 사용 최저 유압을 연계하여 갑섭량이 설계되어야하고, 돌출발생 임계압력으로 부터는 사용 최고유압과 관련하여 간극이 설계되어야 하므로 이에 대한 수치해석적 설계자료를 제시하였다. 특히 시일립부의 접촉면을 나타내는 축방향에 따라서 접촉력 분포는 시일립 선단부와 돌출현상에 따른 상호 복잡한 결과의 중요성을 제시하였다. 이 결과는 윤활해석을 위한 탄성유체윤활 해석시 입력자료로 사용될 수 있어 실제 유막두께 해석 및 유동해석을 통하여 누설량 예측 등에 이용될 수 있는 설게자료이다.

The introduction of inexpensive cylinder pressure sensors provides new opportunities for precise engine control. This paper presents a control strategy of spark advance based upon cylinder pressure of spark ignition engines. A location of peak pressure(LPP) is the major parameter for controlling the spark timing, and also the UP is estimated, using a multi-layer feedforward neural network, which needs only five pressure sensor output voltage samples at -40˚, -20˚, 0˚, 20˚, 40˚ after top dead center. The neural network plays an important role in mitigating the A/D conversion load of an electronic engine controller by increasing the sampling interval from 10 crank angle(CA) to 20˚ CA. A proposed control algorithm does not need a sensor calibration and pegging(bias calculation) procedure because the neural network estimates the UP from the raw sensor output voltage. The estimated LPP can be regarded as a good index for combustion phasing, and can also be used as an MBT control parameter. The feasibility of this methodology is closely examined through steady and transient engine operations to control individual cylinder spark advance. The experimental results have revealed a favorable agreement of individual cylinder optimal combustion phasing.

Pneumatic cushioning cylinders are commonly employed for vibration and shock control. A mathematical simulation model of a double acting pneumatic cushioning cylinder designed to absorb shock loads is presented which is based on the following assumptions; ideal equation of state isentropic flow through a port conservation of mass polytropic thermodynamics single degree of freedom piston dynamics and energy equivalent linear damping. These differential equation can be solved through numerical integration using the fourth order Runge-Kutta method. An experimental study was conducted to validate the results obtained by the numerical integra-tion technique. Simulated results show good agreement with experimental data. The computer simulation model presented here has been extremely useful not only in understanding the has been extremely useful not only in understanding the basic cushioning but also in evaluating different designs.

Possibile phase transitions of graphite have been examined experimentally using piston cylinder and DAC with synchrotron radiation. The graphite-forming processes in high pressure and low temperature conditions and the phase change under super high pressure were studied in the conditions of 0.7 Gpa and 270-$360^{\circ}C$ in piston cylinder and under 39.6 Gpa in DAC. In the piston cylinder experiment using LiCO3as a catalyzer, we could synthesize disordered graphites whose TGD values change progressively form 9 to 53. It was known that the temperature of graphitization in 0.7 Gpa is between 270-$300^{\circ}C$. Numerous unknown XRD peaks were observed in the super high-pressure experiment. However, it is difficult to pick up a new peak of a hexagonal diamond phase. Application of the different high pressure apparatus as well as a peculiar X-ray source and various graphite specimen would be useful for super high-pressure experiment, and more detailed works are needed to characterize the unknown phase(s) observed in this study.

The objective of this study is focused on the analyzing combustion, carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon emission characteristics of marine diesel oil, utilized for naval propulsion engine, with varying pre-post injection timing of an optically accessible single cylinder engine. And also the combustion process is analyzed by means of a high speed camera visualization. On the result of retarding pre-injection timing toward main injection timing, the mean effective pressure and maximum pressure of combustion chamber are increased; however, the heat release rate is decreased. Furthermore, the emission rates of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon are reduced in this case. In hence, when a post-injection timing is advanced, the mean effective pressure and maximum pressure are increased, because the combustion has been performed under the high temperature and high pressurized environment during main injection time, and the emission rates of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon are increased. From the experimental results, it considered that retarding of pre-injection timing affects to shorten the ignition delay of main injection clearly, and to raise the flame intensity comparing to the advanced state. The ignition delay during post-injection is not appeared at any post-injection time, but the flame intensity has been weakened gradually according to the retarding of post-injection timing.

The object of this paper is to investigate the effects of early fuel evaporators on cold driveability of gasoline passenger cars. Experiment has been carried out for the assessment cold start performance and cold driveability. And fuel consumption rate, emission and cylinder pressure were measured. On the base of combustion pressure of cylinder, rate of heat release, cumulative heat release amount and burned mass fraction are evaluated. The results show that fuel consumption rate is increased by 17.7%, monoxide and hydrocarbon were reduced by 23% and by 45% respectively, fluctuations of indicated mean effective pressure and maximum combustion pressure were increased by 4∼6%, fuel consumption rate per power was improved by 0.2∼2.3%. These are caused by the fact maximum heat release period and main combustion period are getting short.
