The purpose of this work is to investigate the effect of premixing condition on the combustion and exhaust emission characteristics in a HCCI diesel engine. To form homogeneous charge before intake manifold, the premixed fuel is injected into premixed tank by GDI injection system and the premixed fuel is ignited by direct injected diesel fuel. But in the case of high intake air temperature, premixed fuel is auto-ignited before diesel combustion and soot emission is increased. In the case of light load condition, the BSFC is improved by intake air heating because increased air temperature promoted the combustion of premixed mixture. NOx and smoke concentration of exhaust emissions are reduced compared to conventional diesel engine. The combustion characteristics of the HCCI diesel engine such as combustion pressure, rate of heat release, and exhaust emission characteristics are discussed.

In this paper, we present the theoretical and numerical results of scavenge characteristics in a small prechamber of an HCCI(Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition) engine. Two theoretical models are proposed in prediction of the scavenge time and the efficiency ; one is the non-mixing models in which it is assumed that the input gas($CH_{4}$) and the existing gas(air) do not mix with each other, and the other is the fully-mixed model in which the two gases are assumed to mix completely before ejecting to the ambient air. Focus is also given to the effect on the scavenge performance of the size of the chamber oulet.

The effects of premixed fuels(diesel or n-heptane) and exhaust gas recirculation on combustion and exhaust emission characteristics in a DI diesel engine were experimentally investigated. To improve homogeneity of fuel-air mixture in the conventional diesel engine, the premixed fuel is injected by high pressure(5.5 MPa) into the premixing chamber prior to engine cylinder, And several additional systems such as an EGR system, air heating system and back pressure control system were equipped in the DI diesel engine. The results showed that premixed fuel-air mixture undergoes typical HCCI combustion prior to the combustion of DI diesel fuel. The ignition timing of HCCI combustion is delayed by application of EGR, and it also shows that HCCI combustion can be controlled by an EGR.

Homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) was the best concept able to provide low NOx and PM in diesel engine emissions. This new alternative combustion process was mainly controlled by chemical kinetics in comparison with the conventional combustion in internal combustion engine. In this paper, detailed kinetic reaction mechanisms of diesel surrogate was investigated to understand the diesel HCCI engine combustion. It was tested two existing mechanisms and two new mechanisms for the comparison of experimental result. The best mechanism for diesel surrogate was suggested through this comparison.

In this study, the combustion and emission characteristics of waste cooking oil biodiesel was investigated. The fuel was injected from 5 CAD (Crank angle degree) ATDC (After top dead center) to -60 CAD ATDC by 5 CAD with 800 bar and 1600 bar injection pressure. Generally, the hydrocarbon, carbon monoxide and smoke emissions from biodiesel fuel were lower than the emission levels of diesel fuel. However, the emission characteristic of biodiesel got worse than diesel when the fuel was injected earlier than -30 CAD ATDC. $NO_x$ emission from biodeisel was higher than diesel fuel in all experimental conditions.

The characteristics of particulate matters (PM) from an exhaust gas for conventional and low temperature diesel combustion (LTC) in a compression ignition engine was experimentally investigated by the elemental, thermogravimetric analysis. Morphology of PM was also studied by the transmission electron microscopy. PM for LTC shows that it contains more volatile hydrocarbons, which can be easily evaporated than conventional regime. PM for LTC is comprised of smaller primary particles.

One of the important operating factors for the air-fuel pre-mixed conditions in an HCCI engine is an in-cylinder flow. In this study, unsteady in-cylinder air flow characteristics in a diesel engine as a reference engine of an HCCI engine development were numerically analysed. Unsteady flow analyses were conducted with the combination of 3 intake port inlets, then the in-cylinder air flow distribution and swirl ratio results from a case were compared with the results from the other cases.

In this paper, we present the theoretical and numerical results of scavenge characteristics in a small subchamber of an HCCI(Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition) engine. Two theoretical models are proposed in prediction of the scavenge time and the efficiency; one is the non-mixing model in which the input gas(CH4) and the existing gas(air) do not mix at all, and the other is the fully-mixed model in which the two gases are assumed to mix completely before ejection. Focus is also given to the effect on the scavenge performance of the size of the chamber outlet.

Our environment is faced with serious problems related to the air pollution from automobiles in these days. In particular, the exhaust emissions from the diesel engines are recognized as main cause which has a great influence on environment. In this study, the potential of biodiesel fuel and oxygenated fuel(ethylene glycol mono-n-butyl ether; EGBE) was investigated as an effective method of decreasing the smoke emission. The smoke emission of blending fuel(EGBE 0~20 vol-%) was reduced in comparison with diesel fuel and it was reduced approximately 64% at 2000 rpm, full load in the 20% of blending rate. On the contrary NOx emissions from biodiesel fuel and EGBE blended fuel were increased compared with diesel fuel. Torque and brake specific energy consumption(BSEC) didn't have large differences.

A new combustion strategy called LIFC(Late Injection ＆ Fast Combustion) was developed for simultaneous reduction of particulate matter(PM) and nitrogen oxides(NOx) in exhaust emission of diesel engines, In this study, effects of injection timing and injection pressure under relatively high EGR rate were investigated. The experiments were conducted in a conventional engine over a range of commercial engine speed. The test engine could be operated in LIFC up to 2000rpm / bmep 5 bar condition with significant reduction of NOx and PM. The experimental results showed potential for the mechanism of the simultaneous reduction of NOx and PM from HSDI diesel engines.
