In hybrid rocket combustion, the oxidizer swirl injection is frequently used to stabilize the combustion as the rotational velocity component affects the boundary layer flow. However, as the swirl strength increases, a problem arises where the combustion performance changes too much. Thus, this study attempts to control the low frequency instability while minimizing the change in combustion performance by adapting attenuated swirl injection with fuel insert used in reference [7]. To this end, a series of experimental tests were performed by varying swirl intensity and the location of the fuel insert. In the tests, the occurrence of combustion instability and combustion performance were closely monitored. The results confirmed that combustion instability was successfully suppressed at the condition of the swirl angle 6 degree and the location of fuel insert 310 mm. And, the changes in combustion pressure, O/F ratio, and fuel regression rate were found as minimal compared to the baseline case. Also the results reconfirmed that the formation of positive coupling between two high frequency oscillations in 500 Hz band, combustion pressure(p') and heat release oscillation(q'), is the necessary and sufficient condition of the occurrence of low frequency instability.

Three dimensional numerical heat transfer analysis was carried out against periodically arranged fuel injectors of the liquid rocket engine. A finite volume method based on SIMPLE algorithm was adapted which gave a good agreement with the published results of the heat transfer problem of a backward facing step. The Nusselt number and pressure drop increased as the distance between the injector elements decreased. When the Reynolds number increased, the Nusselt number increased but nondimensionalized pressure drop decreased slightly.

Great attentions are paid to HSDI diesel engine for passenger cars because of its high thermal efficiency. The most interesting research in HSDI diesel engine developments is focused on applying common rail system as a fuel injection equipment. In this study, a series of tests are carried out to investigate the effect of injection pressure variation on the smoke and fuel concluded in a small HSDI diesel engine with common rail system. As a result of this study it is concluded that there is an optimum rail pressure dependent on combustion system such as nozzle type, combustion chamber geometry.

Startability and harmful emissions are the main issues in diesel engine development under cold conditions. The characteristics of combustion with multiple injection were investigated under cold start conditions. For quantitative analysis, the in-chamber pressure profile was measured and combustion visualization using direct imaging was accomplished. With multiple injection, the peak in-chamber pressure and heat release rate were increased compared to single injection. In addition, the period of flame luminosity detection was shortened using multiple injection. Combustion by main injection was improved with an increase in heat released by pilot combustion when the pilot injection quantity was increased. Finally, an increase in injection pressure also showed the possibility of combustion improvement. On the other hand, an increase of in the pilot injection quantity and injection pressure can cause an increase in harmful emissions, such as HC and CO due to wall wetting. Therefore, more sensitive calibration will be needed when applying a multiple injection strategy under cold start conditions.

Nowadays, automotive manufacturers have developed various technologies to improve fuel economy and reduce harmful emissions. The ultra-lean direct injection engine is a promising technology because it has the advantage of improving thermal efficiency through the deliberate control of fuel and ignition. This study aims to investigate the development of a spray-guided-type lean-burn LPG direct injection engine through the redesign of the combustion system. This engine uses a central-injection-type cylinder head in which the injector is installed adjacent to the spark plug. Fuel consumption and combustion stability were estimated depending on the ignition timing and injection timing at various air-fuel ratios. The optimal injection timing and ignition timing were based on the best fuel consumption and combustion stability.

항공기용 가스터빈 및 일반적인 산업용 분무시스템에서는 많은 양의 분사액체를 미립화 시키고 시스템의 연속적인 운전과 유지를 편리하게 하기 위하여 여러 개의 분사노즐을 열로 설치하여 동시에 분사하도록 하고 있다. 이렇게 동시에 분사할 경우, 노즐간에 거리가 충분히 크지 않으면 개별적으로 분사된 분무들이 서로 합해져서 하나의 연합된 분무군이 형성된다. 이렇게 Two element에 의해서 형성된 spray는 공급압력이 증가함에 따라 관성력이 증가하게 되어 중심부분에서 액막 혹은 액적상태로서 충돌이 발생하여 복잡한 분무특성을 가질 것이다. 따라서, 연합된 분무군의 특성을 이해하는 것은 응용의 측면에서 매우 중요하다고 할 수 있다.

This paper proposes a common rail pressure control algorithm for passenger car diesel engines. For handling the parameter-varying characteristics of common rail systems, the quantitative feedback theory (QFT) is applied to the design of a robust rail pressure control algorithm. The driving current of the pressure control valve and the common rail pressure are used as the input/output variables for the common rail system model. The model parameter uncertainty ranges are identified through experiments. Rail pressure controller requirements in terms of tracking performance, robust stability, and disturbance rejection are defined on a Nichols chart, and these requirements are fulfilled by designing a compensator and a prefilter in the QFT framework. The proposed common rail pressure control algorithm is validated through engine experiments. The experimental results show that the proposed rail pressure controller has a good degree of consistency under various operating conditions, and it successfully satisfies the requirements for reference tracking and disturbance rejection.

2-유체 인젝터의 분무연소에 대한 통찰 및 구조에 대한 이해와 연료-공기 혼합과 연소반응의 물리적 이해에 필요한 수치적 모델의 개발 및 검증을 위해서는 2유체 시스템에서 액체 및 기체 각각의 기본적 특성인 액적크기, 액적속도, 액적의 질량플럭스(flux), 가스상의 속도측정 등이 필요하다. 특히, 액체분무에서는 액적의 크기를 예측하는 것이 매우 중요한 과제이며, 액적의 크기에 영향을 주는 인자들로는 노즐의 형태, 분사액체의 물성치(점도, 표면장력, 밀도), 주위기체의 조건(온도, 압력, 응축과 증발현상), 분사압력 등이 있다. 그러나, 실제 분무액적의 크기는 분포를 가지므로 같은 SMD를 가지더라도 그 분포의 정도는 크게 다를 수 있어 결과적으로 분무액적의 크기를 평균값만으로 표현하는 것은 불충분할 뿐만 아니라 그 적용에도 한계를 가지게 된다. 따라서 분무액적의 평균크기와 함께 그 분포의 정도 등을 함께 나타내려는 시도가 많은 과학자들에 의하여 연구되었다.

Combustion characteristics of dual transverse injection of hydrogen in supersonic air flows were studied using computational methods. Three-dimensional Navier-Stokes with a non-equilibrium chemical reaction model and the k-$\omega$ SST turbulence model were used. A parametric study was conducted with the variation of the distance between two injectors. Combustion characteristics of dual injection are very different from those of single injection. The combustion characteristics of two injection flows are very different from each other, and the ignition and combustion characteristics of the rear injection flow are strongly influenced by those of the front injection flow. The increase of the distance between two injectors up to a specific distance results in the increase of burning rate. However, the increase of the distance over the specific distance gives no increase of burning rate but makes more losses of stagnation pressure. From the results it can be stated that there exists a distance between two injectors for optimum combustion characteristics.
