이글에서는 메타놀의 성상과 재래의 내연기관에 메타놀을 사용하였을 때의 특성을 몇 가지 관 점에서 살펴보았다. 유리한 점으로 판단되는 사실은, 1)옥탄가가 높아 고압축비의채용으로 열 효율을 높일 수 있다. 2)기화참열이 크고 물과의 친화성이 좋다. 이러한 점은 내부냉각방식의 채용으로 이상적인 충상혼합기를 형성할 수가 있을 것이며, 현재의 내연기관의 냉각계통, 즉 방 열기, 물펌프, 냉각휜 등을 줄일 수 있을 것으로 본다. 또 NO.chi.의 배출을 저하시키는 이점도 있다. 3)단일성분 연료이므로 배기가스 조성이 단순하며 깨끗하다. 이는 배기공해상 메타놀연료가 석유계연료보다 유리하다. 그러나 메타놀기관은 앞으로 기술적 연구, 개선을 필요로 하는 점도 있다. 1) 메타놀의 가솔린과 비교하여 인화점이 높고 기화잠열이 커서 시동성이 나쁘고 2) 메타놀은 어느 종류의 금속, 프라스택, 도료 등을 부식시킨다. 3) 메타놀은 세탄가가 낮아, 압축점화는 무리이며 4) 발열량은 석유계 연료의 약 절반이다. 따라서 시동성, 재료, 착화방법, 개질 가스의 이용법, 내부냉각 등의 기술적인 문제가 개발된다면 질, 량, 가격적인 면에서도 내연기관용에는 메타놀이 유리하다고 본다. 그러나 현시점에서는 기관측으로 보아 자동차용연료로는 가솔린에 혼합하는 방법이고 그렇게 된다면 20-30%의 연료가 절감되리라고 믿는다.

Homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) is the best concept able to provide low NOx and PM in diesel engine emissions. This new alternative combustion process is mainly controlled by chemical kinetics in comparison with the conventional combustion in internal combustion engine. However, HCCI engine's operation have an excessive rate of pressure rising during the combustion process. In this study, stratification condition of EGR exhaust gases was used to reduce the pressure rising during the combustion process in HCCI engine. Also, combustion characteristics and emissions characteristics were investigated using the detailed diesel surrogate reaction mechanism.

This paper presents the characteristics of lifted height and flame length from non-premixed jet flames in highly preheated air to investigate the detail combustion mechanism in the gas turbine or HCCI engine, etc. Special attention was paid to the effect of preheated air temperature, oxygen concentration and fuel injection flow rate on flame length and lifted hight. By using highly preheated air, stable flames were formed even in low oxygen concentration condition. The lifted height increased with decreasing preheated air temperature, where the flame length showed opposed phenomena. The flamelet model, which is thought to have very thin flamelet, is difficult to applicable to the present flame conditions which is formed In low oxygen concentration in highly preheated air.

In this study, combustion characteristics and various performances of a Diesel fuel DI-HCCI engine using 2-stage injection method were investigated. From these researches, application ability of 2-stage injection strategy to a DI-HCCI engine was confirmed and improvement methods of performances were considered. As the results, Using 2-stage injection method, without change of engine specifications and loss of IMEP, exhaust of NOx and Smoke emissions could be reduced to about 1/3 (at 1400rpm, IMEP 6bar) compared to conventional Diesel combustion.

In order to confront the increasing air pollution and the tightening emission restrictions, this research developed a diesel engine using DME, the advanced smoke-free alternative fuel. By numerical analysis, flow field, spray, and combustion phenomenon of the DME engine was presented. Using an experimental method, the configuration of the fuel supply system and operation/power performance was tested with the current plunger pump. Most emission performance, especially smoke performance was significantly improved. The possibility of conversion from the current diesel engine into the DME engine was affirmed in this research. However, it was found that the increase of engine RPM and fuel amount need to be properly adjusted through matching the characteristics of fuel and injector for further improvement.

Stratified charge has been thought as one of the ways to avoid a sharp pressure rise on HCCI combustion. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential of stratified charge for reducing PRR on HCCI combustion. The pre-mixture with thermal, mixing and EGR stratifications is charged in Rapid Compression Machine. After that, the pre-mixture is compressed and in that process, in-cylinder gas pressure and temperature are analyzed. Additionally numerical calculation with multi-zones modeling is run to know the potential of stratified charge for reducing PRR.

This study presents both experimental and numerical investigation of ignition characteristics of n-heptane and n-butanol mixture. The $O_2$ concentration was fixed to 9-10% to make high exhaust gas recirculation(EGR) rate condition. Experiments were performed using a rapid compression machine. In addition, a numerical study of the ignition delay time was performed using CHEMKIN codes to validate experimental results and predict chemical species after combustion process. The results showed that the ignition delay time increased with increasing n-butanol ratio and the reactivity decreased by low $O_2$ concentration.

In this study, the characteristics of particulate matters (PM) from diesel and biodiesel fuel combustion was experimentally investigated. The experiment was performed in a single cylinder common-rail compression ignition engine. The fuels were injected at -5 CAD (Crank angle degree) ATDC (After top dead center) with 80 MPa injection pressure. Size distribution of PM was measured by scanning mobility particle sizer (SMPS) and morphology of PM was studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). PM from biodiesel shows lower emission level and smaller primary particles.

In this work, optimization of blade shape for the improvement of mixture formation and vortex of intake port was performed by numerically, and the combustion performance of CI engine with optimized blade shape was investigated. To achieve this, 3 types of blade shape were studied under the different air flow mass conditions and the numerical results were investigated in terms of humidification water, moisture concentration, and velocity distributions. Evaporated liquid mass was also compared under various test conditions to reveal the turbulent intensity in an intake port. It was observed that the optimized blade shape can improve the humidification water, moisture concentration, and velocity distributions of intake port inside. The evaporated liquid mass was also increased under the conditions with blade. Especially, low NOx emissions was observed with optimized blade condition.

Cetane number of diesel fuel for compression ignition engine is one of main properties for fuel ignition quality. Recently the cetane index has been replaced the cetane number in order to resolve the disadvantage of CFR engine test, but these two value have slightly difference values due to addition of various additives. In this study, we analyzed the cetane number, derived cetane number and cetane index for diesel fuel which was blended with various ratios of biodiesel, kerosene and cetane improver as additives. As a result, Cetane number showed the similar value with derived cetane number, but cetane index showed quite different value with cetane number when biodiesel and cetane improver were used as additives.
