Hybrid powertrain systems have been developed to improve the fuel efficiency of internal combustion engines. In the case of a parallel hybrid powertrain system, an engine and a motor are directly coupled. Because of the hardware configuration of the parallel hybrid system, friction and the pumping losses of internal combustion engines always exists. Such losses are the primary factors that result in the deterioration of fuel efficiency in the parallel-type hybrid powertrain system. In particular, the engine operates as a power consumption device during the fuel-cut condition. In order to improve the fuel efficiency for the parallel-type hybrid system, cylinder deactivation (CDA) technology was developed. Cylinder deactivation technology can improve fuel efficiency by reducing pumping losses during the fuel-cut driving condition. In a CDA engine, there are two operating modes: a CDA mode and an SI mode according to the vehicle operating condition. However, during the mode change from CDA to SI, a serious fluctuation of the air-fuel ratio can occur without adequate control. In this study, an air-fuel ratio control algorithm during the mode transition from CDA to SI was proposed. The control algorithm was developed based on the mean value CDA engine model. Finally, the performance of the control algorithm was validated by various engine experiments.

본 연구에서는 터보과급기 테스트 벤치, 실시간용 소프트웨어와 DAQ의 HIL 플랫폼, 그리고 Matlab/ Simulink로 작성한 엔진 모델로 구성된 HIL 시스템을 구축하고, HIL 시스템의 정상 작동 여부를 파악하기 위해 연료 공급량을 단계적으로 변화시키는 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 연료 공급량을 1.8944 kg/h와 4.7360 kg/h 사이에서 단계적으로 변화시키고, 시스템이 설정된 목표 공연비 32를 추종하는지 여부를 분석하였다. 시뮬레이션의 결과 연료 공급량을 변화시킨 상태에서 20초 정도의 시간이 경과한 후 설정된 목표 공연비에 정상적으로 수렴하였다. 또한 연료 공급량의 변화에 따라 터빈 베인 듀티비와 압축기의 부스트 압력도 적절하게 변화함을 확인하였다. 따라서 본 시스템은 터보과급기 개발 및 성능 개선에 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

In this paper, our main issue is that establishing the control procedure of continuous gas flow rate according to combustion fan RPM. For this, first, we decide the optimum operating condition of gas swirl burner through analysis of combustion characteristics - thermal efficiency, combustion efficiency and exhaust gases such as CO, $CO_{2}$, $O_{2}$, $NO_{x}$ and THC. Second, fuel gas flow rate of gas valve is decided with considering excess air ratio and combustion fan RPM is decided by the target of combustion air flow rate. Finally, experimental operating equation is acquired by regression for gas valve and combustion fan. This equation is the control equation of continuous gas flow rate and always gas flow rate is decided by combustion fan operating RPM.

The characteristics of NOx emission in multi fuel/air staged combustor have been experimentally 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 ㎿) in a laboratory furnace and Liquefied Petroleum Gas(LPG) was used as primary and secondary fuels. The study included parametric study to identify the optimum operating conditions which are primary/secondary fuel ratio, primary/secondary air ratio, primary swirl intensity and secondary swirl intensity for reducing NOx emission. The test demonstrated that NOx emission can be reduced by >70% in accordance with operating conditions.

본 논문은 기존의 스파크 점화 방식이 아닌 bulk combustion 방식을 도입하여 별도의 점화장치 없이 상용 단기통 디젤기관에 유입되는 흡입공기를 가열 및 제어하여 흡기관에 분사되는 가솔린연료의 압축착화성을 향상시킴으로서 기관작동을 가능하게 하였다. 제동열효율의 최대값은 공기-연료비가 35부근에서 나타나며, 35이상의 영역에서는 급격히 감소하고 흡입공기 가열온도가 올라갈수록 제동열효율은 증가한다. 따라서 공기-연료비를 감소시키면서 흡입공기의 가열온도를 상승시키는 방식이 열효율 측면에서 효과적이라는 것을 알 수 있다.

The lean premixed technique has been proven very efficient in reducing NOx emissions from gas turbine combustors. However combustion instability is susceptible to occur in lean premixed combustor. So laboratory-scale dump combustor was used to understanding the underlying mechanisms causing combustion instabilities. In this study, tests were conducted at atmospheric pressure and inlet air was up to $360^{\circ}C$ with natural gas. The observed instability was a longitudinal mode with a frequency of ${\sim}341.8Hz$. At selected unstable conditions, phase-resolved OH chemiluminescence images were captured to investigate flame structure with various equivalence ratio. Combustion instability was observed to occur at higher value of equivalence ratio(>0.69). This study was performed to investigate the effects of equivalence ratio and fuel split measuring NOx and acoustic wave. The results reveal the effect of fuel-air unmixedness on lean premixed combustor.

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 from homogeneous charge before intake manifold, the premixed gasoline fuel is injected into a premixed tank by fuel injection system and the premixed gasoline fuel is ignited by direct injected diesel fuel. Experimental result shows the NOx and soot emissions are decreased linearly with the increase of premixed ratio. In the case of intake air temperature $20^{\circ}C$ with light load, the specific fuel consumptions are increased with the rise of premixed ratio and HC and CO emissions are also increased. But the intake air heating can improve the specific fuel consumption at light load condition because increased air temperature promotes the combustion of premixed mixture. In the case of high intake air temperature with high load condition, premixed fuel is auto-ignited before diesel combustion and soot emission is increased.

This work deals with a controlled auto-ignition (CAI) single cylinder gasoline engine, focusing on the extension of operating conditions. The fuel is injected indirectly into electrically heated inlet air flow. In order to keep a homogeneous air-fuel mixing, the fuel injector is water-cooled by a specially designed coolant passage. Investigated are the engine performance and emission characteristics under the wide range of operating conditions such as 32 to 63 in the air-fuel ratio, 1000 to 1800 rpm in the engine speed, and 150 to 18$0^{\circ}C$ in the inlet air temperature. The compression ignition gasoline engine can be achieved that the ultra lean-burn with self-ignition of gasoline fuel by heating inlet air. For example. the allowable lean limit of air-fuel ratio is extended until 63 at engine speed of 1000 rpm and inlet air temperature of 17$0^{\circ}C$. It can be achieved that the emission concentrations of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxide had been significantly reduced by CAI combustion compared with conventional spark ignition engine.

In this study, the characteristics of decreasing exhaust gas of diesel engine was examined in dual fuel method by using commertial LPG for automotive. LPG was supplied to engine intake port by fumigation method and flow rate was controlled by using the needle valve. LPG supply ratios were 0, 20, 30% of total fuel amount to be supplied to engine by mass base. We investigated the effect of LPG supply ratio on exhaust gas concentrations related to excess air ratio and engine load at 1600, 1800, 2000 rpm. Soot concentration decreased about 30% in proportion to the increase of the LPG supply ratio. NOx concentration decreased in proportion to the increase of the LPG than diesel only and the increase rate was higher at low engine load. BSFC(Brake specific fuel consumption) was lower in proportion to the increase of the LPG supply ratio at high engine load and to the decrease of LPG supply ratio at low engine load.
