부존자원이 석탄밖에 없는 우리의 입장으로서는 날로 증대되어 가는 석유의 해외의존성, 석유 가의 상승, 석유의 공유불안정성 등으로 인하여 석유와 대체될 수 있는 새로운 에너지원의 개 발이 요망되고 있다. 그러한 대체에너지의 일종으로 알코올 연료가 많은 연구의 대상이 되고 있다. 이제까지는 대개의 연구가 SI엔진의 개량이 그다지 요구되지 않는 범위내에서 간단한 알 코올/가솔린 혼합연료의 사용에 집중되어 왔다. 본 해설에서는 알코올과 가솔린의 혼합연료와 알코올만을 사용한 SI엔진, 디젤엔진에 있어서의 연구성과와 그에 따른 최근의 정보를 다루려고 한다. 아직까지도 이에 관한 연구는 연구실 차원에서 계속 연구되어지고 있고 이러한 알코올을 이용한 엔진 개념이 상업적으로 실용화되기까지는 해결해야 할 많은 문제점이 있다.

본 연구에서는 모델링오차나 외란 등의 불확실성에도 강인한 슬라이딩 모드 제어방법을 이용하여 새로운 연료분사 제어기를 설계하였다. 그리고 8253 타이머와 A/D 변환기, 인터페이스회로 등으로 MPI가솔린 엔진용 전자 제어장치를 실제 엔진에 적용시킴으로써 새로이 설계된 연료분사 제어시스템의 성능을 파악하였다.엔진의 운전상태를 여러가지 제어 모드로 분류할 수 있으나 엔진회전수가 2000rpm, 부하가 20N의 일정한 부하 조건에서 엔진회전수를 1500rpm에서 2000rpm으로 변화시켰을 때의 과도상태 응답을 파악하였다. 이와 같이 새로운 슬라이딩 모드 연료분사 제어시스템 을 개발하여 3원촉매 변환기의 변환효율을 극대화함으로써 배기가스의 유해물질을 최 소화하는 것을 본 연구의 목적으로 하였다.

자동차 주행 시 엔진회전수가 1,500rpm 이상이고 주행속도가 50km/hr 이상의 조건에서 가속 페달을 밟지 않은 상태로 관성주행(타행주행)을 하면 연료분사량이 "0"이 되고 그에 따라 엔진 배출 $CO_2$ 배출량도 "0"이 된다. 본 연구에서는 고속도로 및 자동차 전용도로에서의 이러한 연료차단(퓨얼컷 fuel-cut) 주행 구간을 찾고 연료차단 기능을 활용하는 경우 그 효과를 평가하였다. 본 시험의 결과 퓨얼컷 주행을 활용하면 약 4~5% 정도의 $CO_2$ 배출량을 줄일 수 있음을 알 수 있었고, 감속의 정도를 도로 상황에 맞게 최적화하는 경우 감소율을 더욱 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 추후 본 시험의 결과를 이용하여 도로 내리막 구간에서 연료소모량 및 $CO_2$ 배출량을 저감하면서도 과속으로 인한 사고를 예방하는 방안으로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Hydrogen-compressed natural gas (HCNG) blend has attracted attention as a fuel that can reduce $CO_2$ emissions because it has low carbon content and burns efficiently. An increase in the compression ratio of HCNG engines was considered as one of the methods to improve their efficiency and reduce $CO_2$ emissions. However, a high combustion rate and flame temperature cause abnormal combustion such as pre-ignition or knocks, which in turn can cause damage to the engine components and decrease the engine power. In this study, the performance and knock characteristics with a change in the compression ratio of an HCNG engine were analyzed. The combustion characteristics of HCNG fuel were evaluated as a function of the excess air ratio using a conventional CNG engine. The effects of the compression ratio on the engine performance were evaluated through the same experimental procedures.

Synthetic natural gas(SNG), acquired from coal, is regarded as an alternative to natural gas since a rise in natural gas due to high oil price can be coped with it. In the present study, 11-liter heavy duty compressed natural gas(CNG) engine was employed in order to examine the combustion and emission characteristics of SNG. The simulated SNG, made up 90.95% of methane, 6.05% propane and 3% hydrogen was used in the experiment. Power output, thermal efficiency, combustion stability and emission characteristics were compared to those with CNG at the same engine operating conditions. Knocking phenomenon was also analyzed at 1260 rpm, full load condition. Combustion with SNG was more stable than CNG. Nitrogen oxides emissions increased while Carbon dioxides emissions decreased. Anti-knocking characteristics were improved with SNG.

The interest on the utilization of landfill gases and biogases for energy production has been increasing due to environment concerns and global warming caused by burning fossil fuels, renewable nature of these gases. Using those synthesis gases to generate energy with engine encourages more efficient collection reducing emissions into the atmosphere and generates revenues for the operators. However the lower calorific value of synthesis gases than that of LPG or CNG affects the combustion stability and power output. Thus it becomes necessary to address disadvantages involved by studying synthesis gases in technological perspective. This paper discussed synthesis gas as a fuel for 60kW dual-fuel engine to produce power in an effective way. The methane diluted with $N_2$ was used as a fuel and developed ECU and injector driver facilitated the investigations with diesel fuel.

This paper deals with a study on combustion and emission characteristics of a direct injection diesel engine dual fueled with natural gas. Dual fuelling systems tend to emit high unburned fuel especially at low load, resulting in a decreased thermal efficiency. This is because natural gas-air mixtures are too lean for flame to propagate under low load conditions. Suction air quantity and injection timing controls are very useful to improve emissions and thermal efficiency at low load.

In this paper, controller Propose to prevent compressor surge and improve the transient response of the fuel flow control system of turbojet engine. Turbojet engine controller is designed by applying Artificial Neural Network PID control algorithm and make an inference by applying Artificial Neural Network Error Back Propagation Algorithm. To prevent any surge or a flame out event during the engine acceleration or deceleration, the ANN PID controller effectively controls the fuel flow input of the control system. ANN PID results are used as the fuel flow control inputs to prevent compressor surge and flame-out for turbo-jet engine and the controller is designed to converge to the desired speed quickly and safely. Using MATLAB to perform computer simulations verified the performance of the proposed controller. Response characteristics pursuant to the gain were analyzed by simulation.

It is known that he pollutant emitted from the combustion process of marine fuel oil causes air pollution and harmful effects to the human body. Accordingly, IMO regulates pollutants emitted from ships. However, the regulation of Particulate Matter (PM) is still in the process of debate, so preemptive action is needed. Fundamental research on PM is essential. In this study, the Dimensionless Light Extinction Constant ($K_e$) of fuel oil used in marine diesel engines was measured and analyzed to construct the basic data of the PM generated from marine-based fuel oil. The fuel oil used in the land diesel engine was measured in the same way for character comparison. Both fuel oils differ in sulfur content and density. The $K_e$ was measured via the optical method using a 633 nm laser and was determined by using the volume fraction of PM collected by the gravimetric filter method. The $K_e$ of the PM discharged from marine fuel oil is 8.28, and the land fuel oil is 8.44. The $K_e$ of two fuel oils was similar within the measurement uncertainty range. However, it was found by comparison with the value obtained by the Rayleigh-Limit solution that the light scattering portion could be large. Also, it was found that light extinction characteristics could be different due to the relationship between light transmittance and collected mass.

Computational analyses are conducted on the combustion characteristics of the coal- and the biomass-derived synthetic gases with low-Btu heating value in gas engine. Using thermochemical analyses on the synthetic gases, combustion pressure, temperature, exhaust gas composition, NO emission and engine power are predicted and the predicted results are compared with small-scale pilot engine test results. In order to investigate the unsteady combustion phenomena in gas engine combustion chamber, CFD analyses are carried out on the coal and the biomass synthetic gases and their computed results are compared to provide the guidelines for the design modification and the tuning of the gas engine burning the synthetic gases as alternative fuels.
