This study aims to provide a fundamental data for directly injected hydrogen fuel engines. Spray, ignition and combustion characteristics of hydrogen were studied using constant volume chamber. For spray visualization, hydrogen was vertically injected into a combustion chamber at various condition, for example, injection pressure, ambient pressure. And an argon laser was used for the shadowgraph photography by applying optical method. Also, to investigate heat-release rate and flame propagations, spark was ignited on hydrogen injected at the different time after injection and the duration of injection was also changed. Processes of ignition and combustion were analyzed by heat-release rate calculated by pressure history and were observed by shadowgraph photography The results gave much knowledge of spray, ignition and combustion characteristics of hydrogen.

The combustion characteristics for the low NOx 50 kW-class gas turbine combustor have been experimentally investigated. In order to achieve the premixing and the lean burn combustion, the geometries of the primary zone including premixed chamber were modified from conventional combustor. The centerline profiles of CO and NO concentration, and temperature were measured for the premixed combustors with or without dilution holes in the liner. The effects of the pilot fuel injection rate and air dilution on flame stabilization and pollutant (CO, NO) emission are discussed in detail.

The characteristics of engine performance with fuel injection system in D.I. diesel engine were studied in this paper. A fuel injection system has an important role in the performance and emission gas in a diesel engine. In this paper, an experimental study has been performed to verify the effect of the performance and the emission gas with the factors such as diameters of an injection nozzle hole, diameters of an injection pipe and injection timing in the fuel injection system. The authors have obtained the results that optimizing the factors of fuel injection system is significant to enhance the performance of the engine system and consumption ratio of fuel, smoke, and NOx.

본 연구에서는 1998년과 2004년의 대기오염물질배출량 분포를 비교하여 제시하였다. 결과는 아래와 같다. 첫 번째 오염물질별 배출량을 살펴보면 2004년이 1998년에 비해 질소산화물$(NO_x)$과 미세먼지(PM-10)은 증가하였고, 일산화탄소(CO)와 아황산가스$(SO_2)$는 감소하였다. 두 번째 오염원별 배출량을 살펴보면 1998년과 2004년 모두 모든 오염원에서 증가하는 경향을 보였으나 선 오염원의 배출량이 가장 뚜럿한 증가를 나타내었다. 이는 $SO_2$는 저황유 공급정책과 청정연료의 사용으로 인해 감소하였으며, $NO_x$와 PM-10 차량대수의 증가와 인구의 증가, 총에너지 수요의 증가가 원인으로 판단된다.

An Experimental study on the NOx formation of LNG flame in fuel staged combustor has been studied. The design concept of multi fuel/air staged combustor is creation of two separate flame, a primary flame is act as a pilot flame for the secondary combustion stage combustion zone, where most of fuel burns. Experiments were performed on a semi-industrial scale (thermal input 0.233 MW) in a laboratory furnace and Liquefied Natural Gas(LNG) was used as primary and secondary fuels. The study included parametric study to identify the optimum operating conditions which are primary/secondary fuel ratio, and primary/secondary air ratio for reducing NOx emission with two types of nozzle. The test demonstrated that NOx emission can be reduced by >70% in accordance with operating conditions.

대기오염은 화석연료를 사용한 산업혁명 이후에 본격적으로 나타난 현상이다. 특히, 중공업을 중심으로 하는 고도 성장기에는 대기오염물질의 배출이 급격히 증가하였으며, 인구집중이 심한 도시와 도시근교서의 대기오염은 사회문제로 대두되었다. 최근에는 산성비 및 온난화와 같은 지구규모의 환경문제로 발전되고 있다. 그 중에서 질소산화물(NOx)과 탄화수소(HC)에 의한 도시 대기오염은 점점 증가하는 추세이며, 특히, 광화학 옥시던트(Ox)는 발생 메카니즘이 복잡하며, 발생원과 오염지역과의 상호 연관성 파악이 어렵기 때문에 지금까지 대부분 환경평가 대상에서 제외되었으나, 향후의 환경 정책문제로 수용되고 있는 추세이다.

Many research works have been carried out to investigate the factors governing the performance of diesel engine. The area of the study has been focused on reducing both of NOx and smoke because of many difficulties to reduce them simultaneously in diesel engines. One of the efforts is an application of EGR technology to reduce NOx emission, which is very effective, but increases other emissions and makes fuel economy worse. In order to solve the problem, EGR is employed with water emulsified fuel and tested in this paper. Emulsified fuel is produced by centrifugal mixer and the amount of water is controlled by water injector and pulse generator, and EGR rate is controlled with 6-step control valve. The chamber pressure, fuel consumption and emissions are measured with various values of both EGR and water mixing rate, The results show that NOx emission is reduced much rather and smoke is also reduced simultaneously.

The characteristics of spray combustion and dropsize of spray through twin-fluid atomizer was experimentally investigated. The distribution of flame temperature have an effect on the generation of NOx. To investigate there effects, flame temperature with different spray shape was observed. The spray shape was varied by various bluff-bodys. Mean temperature were measured by thermocouple respectively, and NOx concentration was measure by NOx analyser. Distribution of droplet sizes were measured by PMAS. The result showed that the flame with wide distribution has lower temperature and lower NOx emission compared with narrow.

Recently, the world is faced with very serious problems related to the air pollution due to the exhaust emissions of the diesel engine. So, many of researchers have studied to reduce the exhaust emissions of diesel engine. This study was investigated for various exhaust emissions according to operating conditions in a turbocharged D.I. diesel engine. As a result of experiments in a test engine, the $CO_2\;and\;NO_x$ increased with increasing load, the $CO_2$ and CO decreased with increasing charge air pressure in manifold, the CO decreased with increasing cooling fresh water temperature, and the $NO_x$ decreased with worming cooling fresh water before engine start.

The direct injection diesel engine is one of the most efficient thermal engines. For this reason DI diesel engines are widely used for heavy-duty applications. But the world is faced with very serious problems related to the air pollution due to the exhaust emissions of diesel engine. So, that is air pollution related to exhaust gas resulted from explosive combustion should be improved. Exhaust Gas Recirculation(EGR) is a proven method to reduce NOx emissions. In this study, the experiments-were performed at various engine loads while the EGR rates were set from 0% to 20%. The emissions trade-off and combustion of diesel engine are investigated. Hot and cooled EGR are achieved without cooling and with cooling respectively. It was found that the exhaust emissions with the EGR system resulted in a very large reduction in oxides of nitrogen at the expense of higher smoke emissions. Also, the reduction rates of NOx emissions for hot and cooled EGR are similar at load 20%.
