This article is about using the fuel mixed with 10% and 20% bio-ethanol to gasoline for the engine as a way to reduce carbon emission before commercializing future automobiles like fuel cell cars. The fuel mixed with 10% and 20% bio-ethanol showed output equivalent to that of the previous gasoline fuel. CO and $CO_2$ emission was somewhat reduced, but the difference was not significant. And the consumption of the fuel increased slightly. However, bio-ethanol is produced from bio mass growing with the absorption of carbon dioxide, so the total amount of carbon dioxide did not increase according to the result. In NOx, as the use of ethanol increases, the effect of reduction gets greater, and the emission of oxygen showed almost no change compared with gasoline.

An experimental investigation was conducted to investigate the effect of Bio-ethanol fuel on the engine performance and exhaust emission characteristics under various engine operating conditions. To investigate the effect of bio-ethanol fuel, the commercial 1.6L SI engine equipped with 4 cylinder was tested on EC dynamometer. The engine performance including brake torque, brake specific fuel consumption, and barke specific energy consumption of bio-ethanol fuel was compared to those obtained by pure gasoline. Furthermore, the exhaust emissions were analyzed in terms of regulated exhaust emissions such as unburned hydrocarbon, oxides of nitrogen, and carbon monoxide.Result of this work shows that the effect of blending of ethanol to gasoline caused drastic decrease of emissions under various operating conditions. Also, improved engine performance such as brake torque and brake power were indicated for bio-ethanol fuel.

This paper presents the results of field demonstration for fuel switching to bio-fuel oil in 4 commercial heavy oil fired power plants. The 100% fuel switching field demonstration was successfully carried out in two tangential-firing boilers at a capacity of 75 and 100 MWe respectively without major equipment retrofit, and also 25% bio-fuel oil blending for two opposite firing boilers at a capacity of 350 and 400 MWe respectively. Despite the low density and heating value, the bio fuel was successfully replaced heavy fuel oil at the full load by only adjusting operational parameters. Incase of bio fuel oil combustion, heat absorption of radiative heat transfer section was reduced while convection section has opposite trend. In pollutants emission, a major reductionin SOx as well as 10-20% reduction in NOx were achieved by the fuels witching. On the other hand, boiler efficiency was slightly underestimated.

Esterified bio-diesel oil is normally used as blend oil of 3% that and 97% diesel fuel in Korea. Since specifics of it is similar to that of diesel fuel, availability of non-esterified bio-diesel oil that has a lower expenses of manufacturing is worthy of attention. However, bio-diesel oil has a demerit which it emits typically more NOx emission than diesel fuel. In this study, characteristic tests using blending oil with 95% gas oil and 5% bio-diesel oil were achieved at lower common rail pressure in order to improve this demerit. It was noticed that non-esterified bio-diesel oil has more similar characteristics to diesel fuel than esterified bio-diesel oil and it emits more NO emission by fuel NO mechanism.

This study discribes performance of DEFC (Direct Ethanol Fuel Cell) utilized bio-ethanol based on fruit wastes. To produce the bio-ethanol, fruit wastes were treated at temperature $120^{\circ}C$ and 90minutes in acid pre-treatment. After pre-treatment was done, alcohol fermentation process was running. Initial alcohol concentration was 5%. Using the multi coloumn distillation system, more than 95% ethanol was distilled and each component of bio-ethanol was analyzed. In DEFC performance test, it was revealed that cell performance was much higher than that of ethanol. Comparing ethanol with mixed fuel (bio-ethanol (10%) + ethanol (90%)), the performance of ethanol was higher than that of mixed fuel. Even though the bio-ethanol from the fruit wastes is corresponded with transport ethanol standards, it thought that organic matter in bio-ethanol could be negative effect on fuel cell.

Combustion characteristics of boiler fuels made of bio-oil and light-oil were experimentally investigated. Bio-oil was obtained by fast pyrolysis of woody biomass. Emulsion fuel made by mixing bio-oil (up to 30wt%) with light-oil and surfactant was completely burnt, resulting in the formation of combusted gas containing CO concentration less than 10ppm. Simple mixtures of bio-oil and light-oil with separate delivery lines also gave nice combustion characteristics.

본 연구에서는 F-T 공정을 통해 합성하여 제조한 바이오항공유(Bio-7629, Bio-5172)와 기존에 사용 중인 석유계항공유(Jet A-1)의 점화특성을 비교하여 분석하였다. Combustion research unit (CRU) 장비를 활용하여 각 항공유의 점화지연시간을 측정하였고, 그 결과를 연료의 물성 및 구성 화합물에 대한 분석을 통해 해석하고자 하였다. 점화지연시간은 Bio-5172가 가장 짧게 측정되었으며 Jet A-1이 가장 길게 측정되었다. 이는 물리적 점화지연시간에 영향을 줄 수 있는 연료의 물성 측면에서 Jet A-1이 가장 큰 표면장력을 가지며 Bio-5172가 가장 낮은 점도를 갖기 때문인 것으로 해석된다. 또한, 각 연료를 구성하는 화합물의 종류 및 비율에 대하여 분석한 결과, 실험 대상 바이오항공유에 없는 방향족화합물이 Jet A-1에는 약 22.8%의 비율로 존재함을 확인하였다. 이는 산화 과정 시에 비교적 반응성이 낮은 benzyl radical을 생성하여 점화지연시간이 길게 측정되는 데에 영향을 주는 것으로 판단된다. Bio-7629와 Bio-5172는 paraffin으로만 구성되어 있으며, n-/iso-의 값은 각각 0.06, 0.80으로 큰 차이를 보였다. 가지화 된 정도가 낮은 paraffin일수록 산화 시에 생성되는 peroxy radical의 이성질화가 빠르게 진행되어 점화의 전파속도 또한 빨라진다. 따라서 n-paraffin의 함량이 비교적 높은 Bio-5172의 경우에 점화지연시간 또한 짧게 측정된 것으로 해석된다.

본 연구에서는 바이오매스로서 코코넛 폐기물을 $600^{\circ}C$에서 열분해하여 생성된 수상오일(water soluble oil)을 얻었다. 선박유로 사용되는 MDO(Marine Diesel Oil)와 바이오매스로서 코코넛 폐기물을 열분해하여 생성된 수상오일을 MDO에 15~20% 까지 혼합 후 유화시켜 제조된 바이오에멀젼 연료의 연소 특성에 대하여 연구 하였다. 엔진 배출가스 및 온도, 출력을 측정하기 위하여 엔진 다이나모메터를 사용하였다. 바이오에멀젼 연료는 수분이 함유되어 있어서 연소실내의 기화잠열을 빼앗아가 배출가스의 온도를 낮춰주는 것으로 나타났다. 바이오에멀젼 연료에 함유된 수분이 연소실내에서 미세폭발을 일으켜 연료를 잘게 쪼개어 주어 매연을 감소시키는 것으로 나타났다. 바이오에멀젼 연료의 사용으로 연소실내의 온도 감소는 질소산화물 배출을 저감하는 것으로 나타났다. 바이오오일 함유량이 증가 하면 수분함량도 증가하여 전체 발열량이 줄어들게 된다. 따라서 출력이 바이오에멀젼 연료 사용량에 비례하여 감소하는 특성을 나타내었다. 선박용 연료로 사용되는 중질유는 매연과 질소산화물을 많이 배출한다. 선박용 연료로 바이오에멀젼 연료를 사용하면 매연과 질소산화물 배출을 줄여줄 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Engine oil plays an important role in the mechanical lubrication and cooling of a vehicle engine. Recently, engine development has focused on the adoption of gasoline direct injection (GDI) and turbocharging methodology to achieve high-power and high-speed performance. However, oil dilution is a problem for GDI engines. Oil dilution occurs owing to high-pressure fuel injection into the combustion chamber when the engine is cold. The chemical components of engine oil are currently developed to accommodate gasoline fuel; however, bio-alcohol mixtures have become a recent trend in fuel development. Bio-alcohol fuels are alternatives to fossil fuels that can reduce vehicle emissions levels and greenhouse gas pollution. Therefore, the chemical components of engine oil should be improved to accommodate bio-alcohol fuels. This study employs a 2.0 L turbo-gas direct injection (T-GDI) engine in an experiment that dilutes oil with fuel. The experiment utilizes a variety of fuels, including sub-octane gasoline fuel (E0) and a bio-alcohol fuel mixture (Ethanol E3~E7). The results show that the lowest amount of oil dilution occurs when using E3 fuel. Analyzing the diluted engine oil by measuring density and moisture with respect to kinematic viscosity shows that the lowest values of these parameters occur when testing E3 fuel. The reason is confirmed to influence the vapor pressure of the low concentration bio-alcohol-fuel mixture.

This study was conducted to analyze the impact of low level bio-alcohols that can be applied without modification of vehicles to improve air quality in Korea. The emissions and fuel economy of low level bio-alcohols mixed gasoline fuels of spark ignition vehicles, which are direct injection and port fuel injection, were studied in this paper. As a result of the evaluation, the particle number (PN) was reduced in all evaluation fuels compared to the sub octane gasoline without oxygen, but the correlation with the PN due to the increase in the oxygen content was not clear. In the CVS-75 mode, emitted CO tended to decrease compared to sub octane gasoline, but no significant correlation was found between NMHC, NOx and fuel economy. In addition, it was found that the aldehyde increased in the oxygenated fuel, and there was no difference in terms of the amount of aldehyde generated among a series of bio-alcohol mixed fuels.
